Soon, the smile turned to ashes as the flames extinguished.
Along with the final farewell, it was buried on the empty chair.
In the silence, Ai Qing picked up her briefcase, turned, and left.
As she stepped out the door, a purifying light descended from the sky, engulfing the fortress behind.
In the blink of an eye, everything vanished without a trace.
"Mission complete."
Ai Qing raised the briefcase in her hand, standing still, and gave her final order over the communication channel: "I need a shot of Source Anticoagulant, anesthesia, and standard biological isolation."
A faint sound rang from the distance.
She closed her eyes.
Five minutes later, workers in heavy protective suits carefully placed her into the isolation chamber, sealed the door, and waved towards the sky.
The helicopter rose from the clouds.
In the end, only the endless wind and snow continued to roar, gradually falling on the charred ground, covering everything that once was.
.
"Well done."
