Chapter 230 Future
On her deathbed, Melina forced open her heavy eyes and looked carefully at Natasha and Yelena's faces several times, as if trying to memorize the two children's features.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something more, but then closed it again, remaining silent.

She had just considered whether she should reveal the control chip while she was still relatively conscious.

But then she thought about it again and gave up the idea.

The control chip is of great importance.

Whoever obtains the control chip can control the lives and deaths of countless people, causing unimaginable chaos.

If outsiders find out that the Natasha sisters possess such a treasure, they will surely target them.

This is something Melina absolutely does not want to see.

The two children have already suffered enough; they deserve a more stable and happier life.

She cannot, and has no reason to, drag them into the vortex of crisis.

As for whether Hydra will develop the control chip first, Melina believes there is no need to worry about that.

During her infiltration mission in Ohio, she and the Red Guardians wreaked havoc on the local Hydra laboratory, eliminating the experts in the experimental project team and stealing all the data related to the control chip.

After that, they set the entire laboratory on fire, burning it to the ground and leaving no trace of valuable information.

Without those experts and experimental data, Hydra's experimental projects almost came to a standstill.

To put it bluntly, it's pretty much the same as failure.

That's why Melina decided to keep the control chip a secret and not reveal it to anyone.

Let the control chip go with her; it can be considered her final contribution to this world.

Her head grew heavier and heavier, her breathing slowed, and Melina's eyes became increasingly unfocused.

"I really want to...I really want to go back to the past..."

In these final moments, she felt as if she had returned to Ohio and moved back into that cozy little house.

The courtyard was bathed in golden sunlight.

Natasha and Yelena played and ran on the grass.

Alexei stood to the side, using a wrench to repair the car.

She, on the other hand, had just taken the freshly baked cookies out of the oven, and the aroma quickly filled the entire room.

The family enjoyed a peaceful and happy afternoon together.

"What a pity, we can never go back... we can never go back..."

The perceptive Yelena noticed her mother's unusual behavior, gripped her hand tightly, tears streaming down her face, and was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Melina, wake up, don't leave me..."

But no matter how much she called out, Melina could no longer open her eyes.

Internal organ rupture, plus excessive blood loss.

Melina, who was severely injured, was already on the verge of death. The fact that she has managed to hold on until now is an amazing result of her physical condition.

"Melina, Melina..."

Holding her mother's cold hand, Yelena refused to accept the reality and kept calling her mother's name, hoping that Melina would open her eyes and look at her again.

Natasha, who was standing behind, walked over, put a hand on her sister's shoulder, and said comfortingly.

"Don't be too sad, Yelena, Melina is gone."

Yelena suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with pain and resentment.

Why, why did Melina leave them at this time?
Just as Melina had reunited with Natasha and escaped the constraints of the Red Room, with better days seemingly on the horizon, she passed away at this crucial juncture, falling just before dawn.

This was quite difficult for Yelena to accept.

Natasha pulled her into her arms, gently patting her back to soothe her. In truth, Natasha herself was also conflicted.

Whether she admits it or not, the years she spent with her fake family in Ohio were the happiest time of her early life.

Melina's relationship with her was just like that of a real family member.

However, it only looks very similar.

She has a very early memory, so she can still vaguely recall her childhood experiences.

Over the years, she conducted a series of investigations, and through those long-forgotten documents, she finally learned what had happened back then.

At the time, Natasha was just a child who was accidentally selected by an infant genetic potential project, taken away from her biological mother, and abducted to the Red House for training.

Her biological mother made tremendous efforts to find her, but ultimately failed and was killed by General Derekov, the head of the Red House.

Besides the hatred stemming from the loss of her loved ones, Natasha herself also suffered persecution.

I won't even go into the grueling training.

The evil Red House also subjected her to inhumane modifications, including sterilization.

This is something Natasha absolutely cannot tolerate.

She can decide for herself whether or not to be a mother, but she cannot be deprived of the ability to be a mother.

These two events combined fueled Natasha's hatred for the Red Room, and she vowed to take revenge in this lifetime.

Of course, the revenge she spoke of did not mean killing everyone in the red house.

Injustice has its head, and debt has its owner.

General Drekoff, the head of the Red House, was the biggest culprit behind all of this.

As long as she can kill that guy, she will have completed her mission.

As for those instructors who aided and abetted the evildoers, she would kill them directly if it were convenient.

But if those people have already escaped, she probably won't chase after them, too lazy to waste that time.

It is precisely because of this belief that Natasha's feelings towards Melina are extremely complex.

Although they were saddened by the other person's death, they were not as heartbroken as Yelena.

Not to mention revenge or anything like that.

Seek benevolence and gain benevolence.

Since Melina was willing to die to protect the Red Room, this cannibalistic organization, what else is there to say?
With Natasha's encouragement, Yelena gradually calmed down.

Just then, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled, and the walls cracked open.

Realizing the unusual situation around her, Natasha's expression changed drastically, and she said in a deep voice.

"Damn it, it must be that Drekoff sensed something was wrong and activated the Red Room's self-destruct program!"

"No, this place is about to collapse, we must leave immediately!"

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to hesitate.

Despite Yelena's reluctance, she was eventually led away by Natasha.

And those little girls who were just rescued, they were taken away by Tommy long ago, they wouldn't be here crying with Yelena.

After Natasha and her sister finally escaped the base with great difficulty, they found a private plane parked outside.

The girls who had been released earlier were now lining up in an orderly fashion, boarding planes one by one to leave.

For them, everything here will come to an end, and a new life is about to begin.
