The Cyanided Heart

"Something went wrong, Orphen."

"Oh? It seems that the remaining rooms are useless, which is a pity." Orphen smiled, "But this is also expected."

"The experimental data has been collected, and there is no serious problem." Leia sighed, "...What do you mean by predictable?"

"Unexpected expected, haha...can you understand?"

"…cannot."

"Those Soviet soldiers are about to attack, it's really a headache." Orphen said unhurriedly, "I don't know who is making trouble... It will take some time for our reinforcements to arrive, and the higher-ups have specially instructed us Get out of here quickly."

...

"Researchers over there, put down your weapons immediately!" A Soviet soldier walked forward and aimed his gun at Hayes.

"Tch, who will listen to you..." Hayes pouted, turned around and ran wildly.

"Put down the materials in your hand!" A deafening gunshot came from my ear.

"I won't give it to you even if I die!" Hayes staggered forward while dodging the flying bullets.

Damn... ran in the wrong direction.Hayes looked forward, and the words "cremator" were written on the dirty iron plate.

The soldiers pressed on step by step, but Hayes was just clutching the file bag tightly in his hand, and his heels were already on the edge of the crematorium.

"Give us what's in your hand, or we'll shoot."

"Stupid." Hayes cursed angrily, pointing his gun at the soldiers in front, "If you really want these documents... then show some sincerity!"

Bah!

Hayes felt a sharp pain in his calf, and hot blood flowed down his trouser leg, leaving bright red marks on the sandy ground.

"Hand over it!"

Hayes gritted his teeth and pulled down the control lever of the cremator next to him.The boiling flame roared at the bottom of the furnace, and the rising light illuminated Hayes' back.

"Hahaha——" Hayes laughed wildly and threw the thick document into the air, and the scattered papers flew along the thermal airflow, "Don't you want this thing so much? Even if I burn them... I won't give it to you. Yours!"

I didn't expect myself to be so naughty, Hayes raised the corner of his mouth.It's all painstaking work, how could it be burned so easily... So I specially made some fake documents instead, just to deceive these guys.

"Hey, you guy!"

"Hmph, goodbye." Hayes closed his eyes, fell backwards...then disappeared into the mouth of the crematorium.A bunch of desperate soldiers were left staring blankly.

I think... Even if you die, you have to die more honorably.Hayes, who fell under the burning of flames and heat waves, pointed the gun at his temple and pulled the trigger——

Leia... You bastard, you must give me some credit... Let this terrible reality end quickly.

…Bye now.

...

Amy was awakened by a strange noise.Although she was still immersed in the previous grief, in terms of physical condition... Amy felt that her limbs were full of strength, and her mind, which had been drowsy for a long time, became much clearer.

Amy put her hands on her cheeks, neither hot nor cold, just right.

What happened... Amy sat up.The hanging bottle was empty, and some opened medicine packages were scattered on the table.She noticed that there was a piece of paper on the table with a form drawn on it, filled with some similar numbered numbers and many obscure nouns, probably something like a schedule, Amy guessed.

But why are there no comments in the next few columns?While thinking about the reason, a ray of light ran in along the opening of the door, and Amy looked in the direction of the door with some vigilance.

"Do you want to die, you unresponsive guy." Leia frowned, "If there is nothing uncomfortable, just walk around for me."

"Damn! I will never forgive you, you killed Kate..." Amy clenched her fists.

Leia ignored her and just walked out the door on her own.

"..." Amy hesitated for a while, but still took a step and followed behind Leia.

The outside was already a mess, the scorched ceiling collapsed, forming a unique fracture layer, and the flames danced with billowing smoke.

"Hold it." Leia threw a key to Amy. "This is the key to the basement. Go and release those guys and tell them to leave along the corridor in the basement. Come find me when you're done."

Amy caught the key in a hurry.

"I……"

"Hurry up, dawdle." Leia pointed to the metal ring around Amy's neck, "I'll give you 3 minutes, or you'll taste the nerve agent."

Amy nodded in panic and ran towards the basement.As Leia said, there were many victims like herself locked in the basement, so Amy hurriedly opened the door with iron bars.

"Everyone, run away quickly, follow the corridor... don't look back!" Amy shouted, making her hands into a trumpet shape.

After the people in the basement left, Amy returned to the previous position along the stairs.Leia was silently looking at the pocket watch in her hand.

"Good job." Leia closed the pocket watch.

"Are you..." Amy's pupils trembled, "Are you... letting them go?"

Leia put her hands in her pockets, and Amy felt the metal ring loosen and fell to the ground.

"..." Amy touched her neck.

"Don't miss the chance again, you know."

"Chance…?"

"By the way, I'll ask you one last thing." Leia took out a portfolio-like thing from her bosom, "Take it and leave here... as far away as possible."

Amy took the file bag, which was heavy, and seemed to contain a lot of paper, maybe it was someone's painstaking effort.

Immediately afterwards, two gunshots sounded from behind, and Leia felt a warm current gushing out of her abdomen, and blood dripped down from her covered fingers.The girl in front of her just stared blankly at herself, as if she was too scared to speak.

"...Damn it." Leia drew the Luger-P08 from her waist and fired two shots at the assailant in the back.The two Soviet soldiers fell to the ground before they could react.

"no, do not want…!!"

Leia looked down at Amy, the girl in front of her was just holding the file bag, and stepped back with tears streaming down her face.

"You bastard, you just cry whenever something happens." Leia squatted down clutching her abdomen, "Uh... If you stay here again, I'm not sure I'll make you like that too. Let's go .”

"not like this!"

Small arms wrapped around Leia's neck, and through the gaps in her hair, Leia's pupils trembled slightly.

"You don't have to lie to me anymore! You didn't inject me with any virus... Even my illness... You are the one who protects me all the time!" Amy broke down in tears, "But I told you very Excessive words...! I'm sorry...I..."

"Why are you apologizing, bastard..." Blood dripped from the corner of Leia's mouth, "Damn, why don't you understand...I'm your enemy! Aren't you just waiting for this moment, then you can escape... "

"No...it's not like this..." The girl buried her face in the folds of her white coat and shook her head feebly.

"Don't say any more, letting an enemy sympathize with me is worse than being a traitor..."

"Ugh..."

A little sleepy.Leia closed her eyes.

I really have no right to hurt anyone anymore.

If that's enough atonement... just let me sleep like this.

...

Amy was running on the muddy path with her file bag in her arms, and the raindrops hit her face frantically.The building full of flames behind it glowed blindingly in the dark night.

"Search and rescue our compatriots!" A familiar voice came from the woods, and Amy's eyes widened, searching for the source of the voice.

"...Amy?"

Reed held the gun and looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief.

"Reed...!!" Amy couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

"Are you okay, are you injured?" Reid put down the gun and hurriedly helped Amy up.

"Kate, Buford and the others... all... woo woo woo..."

"Okay, okay...It's okay, kid." Reed patted Amy on the back, "You're safe now."
