I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

The female voice on the radio continued to play slowly.

"An Ran, you should have already seen A-07's file."

"Your mother's tolerance data has been replicated by no sample in the past twenty years."

Do you know why?

"Because her gene sequence contains a rare expression segment that is only passed down through maternal lineage."

"In other words, you have it too."

"Moreover, after more than 20 years of natural development, the data in your body may even be more stable than it was back then."

An Ran's finger was on the trigger, her knuckles turning white.

She gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to yell back.

With each additional word this woman uttered, her anger grew.

The voice on the radio suddenly changed to a gentler tone.

"We have never destroyed the tapes left by your mother."

Do you know why?

"Because that scallop roll itself was the bait."

"A trace amount of tracking marker was mixed into the magnetic powder coating of the audio tape."

"Once someone takes it out of the cold storage, the sensors along the entire corridor will have difficulty pinpointing the direction of the person carrying it."

An Ran's heart sank suddenly, and she subconsciously reached for her pocket.

The cassette tape is inside.

"Don't be nervous." The woman's tone even carried a hint of amusement. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"I just want you to understand that everything you have is something I allowed you to have."

"Including the original documents for A-07, the blood sample, and the interim summary."

"You think you're gradually unveiling our secrets, but actually you've been following the path we anticipated all along."

Upon hearing this, An Ran couldn't help but grit her teeth.

She wanted to argue, but a thought stopped her.

Lin Liangyu.

Mother's name, mother's recordings, the marks and identification buckles left by mother.

If all of this is truly a trap, why did the other party wait until today to close the net?

The broadcast started again.

"You're thinking, why didn't I act sooner?"

An Ran's pupils immediately shrank.

This woman seemed to know her reaction perfectly.

"The answer is simple."

"The bloodline sample of A-07 must mature under completely natural conditions; any human intervention will disrupt the stability of gene expression."

"So I waited twenty years."

"Waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you to become stronger, waiting for you to walk in on your own."

An Ran's chest heaved violently twice.

She was furious at the other party's scheming, but she swallowed her anger.

At this point, opening your mouth means you've already lost.

"I can tell you more." The woman's voice turned cold again. "The location of Ward Zero, where your mother was last transferred, and even whether she is alive or dead now."

"I have all of those answers."

"You can take your things, but you have to leave them behind."

"Use yourself in exchange for all the truth you desire."

An Ran's hands began to tremble.

This condition precisely hit her most vulnerable spot.

Is my mother dead or alive?

She desperately wanted to know the answer.

She even felt that if her mother could go out and live happily with her father, she would be perfectly fine with staying.

She opened her mouth, almost saying something.

Just then.

boom!

The loudspeaker on the right side of the corridor exploded.

Debris and sparks were scattered all over the ground, and the woman's voice came to an abrupt end.

Chen Zheng strode in from the direction of the main control room, his gun still emitting light smoke, and carrying a portable hard drive in his left hand.

He didn't stop walking as he passed An Ran.

"Don't talk to her."

An Ran was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "She said my mother might still..."

"What she says doesn't matter." Chen Zheng stuffed the portable disk into his pocket. "You're a soldier. Soldiers don't negotiate with criminals."

An Ran's words caught in her throat.

Chen Zheng stopped, turned around, and stared straight at her.

"You were almost about to speak just now."

An Ran lowered her head upon hearing this.

"The moment you open your mouth, she'll know where your bottom line is."

"I'll use your mother's life or death to scare you, I'll use your position in Ward Zero to scare you, I'll use the truth to scare you."

"Every sentence is a fishhook; whichever one you bite, you'll be dragged along."

An Ran gripped the gun, remaining silent for a long time before finally uttering a single sentence.

"But what if what she said is true?"

Chen Zheng looked at her, his tone somewhat displeased.

Even if it's true, she won't tell you even if you send it up.

"You expect someone to give you something you can't find out yourself?"

An Ran's chest heaved several times before she finally forced herself to swallow the breath back down.

Seeing that she had recovered, Chen Zheng took out a few things from his pocket.

Portable disk, audio tapes, blood sample tubes, original interim summary documents.

He gathered all the materials into a waterproof bag, tightened the seal, and muttered to himself, "Phase one, complete."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly stiffened.

The system's reward came very suddenly.

My chest felt tight at first, followed by waves of muscle contractions.

The sounds in my ears suddenly changed; what was previously a few things gradually became clearer.

The first stage reward is a surge in physical strength, along with a simultaneous enhancement of danger perception.

Chen Zheng did not stop; within three seconds, he made a judgment using his newly acquired powerful hearing.

First, the gate on the west side of the road is closing; judging from the sound, it will be completely closed in about forty seconds.

Second, a group of people, at least six people, are coming around from the maintenance passage on the right.

Third, there was no large influx of people coming from the main passageway.

Chen Zheng turned his head and looked at An Ran.

"The west auxiliary road is about to close, less than forty seconds. At least six people are coming around from the maintenance passage on the right."

An Ran's expression changed upon hearing this: "What...?"

"Stop asking, let's go."

Chen Zheng picked up the waterproof bag and handed it to An Ran, then grabbed his gun and strode quickly toward the West Auxiliary Road.

An Ran quickly followed.

As soon as the two turned the corner of the corridor, they saw the group of patients that An Ran had released earlier.

They didn't go far.

An old woman was leaning against the wall, supporting the arm of a young man who couldn't stand steadily.

The middle-aged man was holding the little girl, and several patients who could walk were gathered around him.

Seeing Chen Zheng and An Ran approach, the old woman spoke first.

"The gate on the West Auxiliary Road is falling down; we can't get through."

Chen Zheng glanced at the end of the corridor.

Sure enough, at the entrance of the West Auxiliary Road, a heavy iron gate was slowly descending, with the bottom about 1.2 meters above the ground.

Just as An Ran was about to say something, the broadcast started again.

This time, the sound came from the built-in speakers in the wards, and it was playing simultaneously in every open ward door.

"safely."

It's still that same woman.

"Look, the people you released can't escape either."

"You can get them off the bed, but you can't get them out of this floor."

"They will be taken back, tied to the bed, and numbered again, and their blood will be drawn again."

"Unless you stay."

"If you stay, I'll let them go."
