"You're pregnant, so they haven't assigned you to this mission. Stay home and take good care of yourself. Our son died during the process of being implanted in the host... I don't want the people in charge to use our daughter for experiments too... A Yi, please listen to me this time, okay? I'll be gone for more than three months. By then, our daughter will be a month old. It would be too late to name her when I get back, so I've thought of a name: Hua Ning. What do you think?"
"Mother. Please don't think about escaping again. Wherever you run, we'll bring you back. Please take care of yourself, and don't make any more plans to escape."
"You don't have to live for millions of people. You can work hard to stay alive for yourself! ..."
Hua Ning didn't want to hurt anyone! She only longed to be free. As a member of the Mother Unit, freedom was impossible. Their lives existed to provide the substances needed by all living beings. They were destined to bear the duty of being mothers! "The sacrifice... won't be in vain. There'll be enough left behind for you to find another replacement..."
Yan Qing had only glimpsed Hua Ning from a distance while she was carrying out her escape plan, but assumed that Hua Ning was someone who had been seized because of some shady operation by the Federation. That was why he wanted to rescue her.
But no one could enter the place where the mothers were confined.
