The Cyanided Heart

Our world is full of people who are crazy about nuclear weapons but know nothing about morality.We know more about war than peace, and we know more about killing than saving lives. — Omar Bradley

Wendy stood at the intersection of the street full of battles and loaded her own Mosin-Nagant. Stones and smoke flew in, and she avoided their attacks sideways.Not long ago, she accompanied her gun to end the lives of several German soldiers.

all the best.Wendy raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly, one more hit means more peace.She thought so.Just keep going with the first and third teams.

...

The smell of dust mixed with straw poured into Amy's nose, and she coughed twice and sat up.She seemed to be asleep, and Amy rubbed her eyes.Dim lights spilled from dirty bulbs, swaying in the breeze that streamed in through the door.

Is it day or night?Amy has no concept of time, she doesn't know how long she slept.

She moved towards the iron railing.There was no one in the old concrete corridor, not even a patrolling person, it was eerily quiet - just the light was better than nothing.

Amy eavesdropped on conversations in other rooms.Probably all of them are "it's over" and "I don't want to die", and some don't understand... probably in other languages.

"...Amy?" Came a soft call from behind, it was Buford.Kate probably dozed off in the corner because of exhaustion, while Anne was holding her knees in a daze, as if about to fall asleep.

"Ah, Buford." Amy turned her head, and Buford winked mischievously at her.

"I heard Reed talk about this place." Buford stroked his chin, as if he was thinking, "Auschwitz concentration camp, right... Reed said that almost no one left here alive."

"Nobody got out alive...is that so?" asked Amy in disbelief.

"That's true, but..." Buford's words were interrupted by the sound of a harsh metal door.

It was Josef Mengele.He was walking in with a serious face, and the trampling sound of his shiny leather shoes echoed in the corridor.

He turned around and said something to the officer next to him, who nodded and walked towards the end of the corridor.Immediately afterwards, there was the creaking sound of the iron gate, and some children were dragged... yes, they were dragged out, through the long corridor to the gate.

"Mengele... what is he doing..." Amy looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

"...It's a human experiment." Annie's voice tended to nothingness like a whisper, as if out of fear.

"Human experiments? What is that..."

"It's... literally." Annie swallowed, "I... just heard that the fate of being picked up by the doctors in the concentration camp... is to become their experimental subject."

"If it's just an experiment, it shouldn't be serious, right?" Buford scratched his head, "...I guess."

"You are so naive." Annie's face became serious. "How could they be like the doctors who treated us? They don't care about our feelings...whether it is pain or shame!"

The three fell into silence.Kate seemed to be woken up, she rubbed her eyes and looked here.

"...Sorry, I got a little excited." Annie sighed and turned her head away.

"It's okay..." Buford smiled reluctantly.

"It's just that if this continues... we will die here sooner or later."

...

"General Franz, the enemy army is charging from the northwest at full speed, and our army has been severely damaged." The voice of a soldier rang in Jessica's ear.She put down the binoculars and ruffled her blond hair.

"It's really distressing." Although Jessica showed a puzzled expression, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was enjoying it, "Then... what can you do?"

"Please take command in person!" The soldier saluted.

"If I were your teacher, I would definitely give your idea the lowest priority." Jessica frowned, "Well, this is also a way. Analyze the battle situation for me."

"Yes!" The soldier saluted again, and then analyzed the battle situation in a logical manner.Jessica rubbed her chin, as if thinking.

"...The enemy commander is really a reckless guy." Jessica frowned, "Okay, I understand, you are in charge of gathering the team. I will be there soon."

"As ordered!"

This is probably an action only a rookie commander would make.Regarding Wendy's next course of action, Jessica had already made up her mind.Facing a new player on the battlefield even made Jessica a little excited.

...

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of breaking the door pierced the originally silent air.It was still Mengele, who walked in with a frown, his face even uglier than last time, and his white coat was still stained with blood.

Mengele seemed to be annoyed by something.Probably the experiment failed, Amy guessed.But it also means that he will attack more people.

Mengele was looking around with folded arms.Presumably on Mengele's instructions, several children were dragged out.

Amy grabbed the iron railing and looked out.From her vantage point, she could see the door of the cell next door was open, and Mengele had left the corridor with his experimental materials.They will be the next to suffer.

"What to do... we will also be..."

Amy stared wide-eyed into the empty hallway.The lamp shone seductively like a demon's eye in the abyss, attracting the unlucky. …She felt her hands grow cold and limp, but the result of the mutual perception between the left and right hands was a heat that deceived the nerves.

...

"So...About the request from the Auschwitz Medical Research Center." The microphone asked tentatively, "I don't know if you consider..."

"..." Mengele chose to remain silent.

"...How do you think about it? You also know that the biggest source of our experimental subjects is the Auschwitz concentration camp." The staff member sighed, "I am also conveying the request from above, it would be best if you can understand."

"..." Mengele looked out the window.There were light raindrops on the window, and the patter of light rain mixed with the cool breeze in the night, "...It's really troublesome, okay. But you tell me who will compensate me? I also need experimental materials."

"Thank you for your understanding. The subsidy will be handed over to you in person." The staff said sincerely, "As for the experimental materials, the higher-ups will seek more cooperation from Admiral Jessica Franz, and we will also convene More commanders to cooperate with you."

"...Okay." Mengele sighed sullenly, "I'll send those unlucky kids there tomorrow."

"Excuse me." The short thank you from the staff made Mengele even more upset.He wanted to say something more, but the other party had already hung up.

Mengele still felt that these experimental subjects were more interesting to him than money.He frowned, thinking that he couldn't just let the research center take away his beloved experimental materials.

It might be more refreshing if you can poke a basket.Mengele gritted his teeth maliciously.
