《COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS 》全部章節：第 101 章 - 第 110 章

The car tires screamed loudly as the Writer turned the steering wheel sharply. Rain hit the glass hard. It made the streetlights look like yellow ghosts. Maya sat in the seat. Her heart was beating fast like a trapped bird hitting her chest. She hugged the heavy computer tower tightly to her body. It was hot. It smelled like burnt electricity and smoke.On the laptop screen a crack was getting bigger.Snap.A sharp line of glass appeared across Benson’s frozen face. The Cheap Version of Maya—the doll with the glowing eyes—was no longer just a picture. Her fingers were white and sharp like needles. They were pushing through the crack. They were touching the air inside the car.“She is coming out!" Maya screamed. "The lock is not holding her!”The Writer looked into the mirror. Her face was white. Behind them two black cars were moving fast. "The book bosses sent a signal to the laptop! They are helping the doll break out so she can steal the computer drive from the inside!”“How much b

The heart machine was not making its quiet beep. It was screaming. Beep-beep-beep-beep. The sound was not steady anymore. It was a warning. Maya jumped from her bed to the bed next to it. She grabbed Bensons wrist. His skin felt warm and a little sweaty.. When she pressed her thumb against his arm she felt something hard and metallic.It did not feel like a bone. It did not feel like something from a surgery. It felt like a key. Maya shook Bensons shoulder. "Benson wake up!" she whispered loudly. Her voice was shaking. "The doctor is lying to us. This hospital is not real. Look at the clock on the wall."The clock was frozen. The long hand was stuck between twelve and one. It was not moving. There was no ticking sound. The room was very quiet. It felt like being underwater where no sound can reach.Then the door opened. Dr. Sarah was standing there.. She was not alone. Two men in white hospital clothes were behind her. Their faces were too perfect. They did not blink. They did not see

The red light on the television was not just blinking. It was pulsing like a heart that was bleeding. Mayas breath caught in her throat. The sound of the breathing machine was like the footsteps of a giant coming to find her. She tried to lift her hand to point at the screen. She wanted to wake her father up.. Her muscles felt like cold stone.She tried to say "Dad".. Only a little bit of air came out of her mouth. She could not make a sound. Her father was sitting in a chair. He was not moving. His chin was on his chest. His Bible was on his knees. He looked very peaceful. He looked real.. As Maya watched the red light on the TV she saw something that scared her. The shadows on the wall behind her father were not moving. They were frozen.The television screen flickered again. The camera zoomed in on Mayas face. The picture was very sharp. She could see every mark on her skin. A small box appeared on the screen. It said "42.1 million people are watching" and "Maya is trending". Maya

The figure of Director Vane did not walk like a person. He moved like water. Every step he took on the grey sand was made of a lot of robots working together. The sound was like a lot of insects talking in the dark. Maya held the cold metal handle of the Life Support center tight. Her fingers were white. Her lungs felt like they were burning. The air was going away."Choose, Maya " Vanes voice said on the wind. "Close the door. Live for fifty years with your boyfriend.. Open the vents give these people a few seconds of hope and die with them in the dust."Benson stood beside her. He was shaking. His skin looked grey under the pale sun. He looked at the people coming out of the building. He saw a girl in a torn dress holding a toy. He saw an old man falling to the ground trying to breathe."Maya " Benson whispered. He touched her hand on the handle. His fingers were cold. "Whatever you do I am happy to be with you. Even if it is for one more minute."Mayas eyes were full of tears. She

The ground shook violently. Let out a loud painful scream. It sounded like a thousand saws cutting through hard stone. The red dust on the horizon was not a cloud it was a wall of moving metal. Millions of red robots were flying through the air crashing into each other like angry bees. Behind them ten giant machines, the Harvesters emerged from the sand. Their red eyes glowed with heat that made the air move like water.A man in the crowd screamed, "They are here! The Dreamers are coming!" Maya felt a electric sting in her stomach. She looked down at her waist. Saw that the silver needle growing from her skin was now as long as a finger. It was not a growth it was a connection to the machine. It pulsed every time the red wall got closer. Mayas breath was short and fast. Every time she breathed in she felt the silver inside her body trying to turn into a hard metal plate.Benson grabbed her shoulders. Said, "Maya look at me!" He saw her eyes changing turning from brown to a scary deep
