They Found the Children Wired Into the Walls | Military Sci-Fi Infantry Story for Sleep

Inside an alien-occupied domed moon city, civilian colonists and soldiers have been forced into one underground resistance, fighting to survive inside their own captured world.The aliens infect humans, assimilate them as slave drones, and use the city’s old infrastructure as living hive territory. When Juno, a young fighter in one dense resistance unit, becomes infected, he proposes an impossible plan: let the transformation continue, use his alien bio-signature as cover, and smuggle a team into the hive.Their target is the reservoir filtration spine — a path into alien-controlled space where trapped children may still be alive, and where one breeding hive might still be destroyed.But when the team reaches the nursery vault, they find something far worse than prisoners.This is “The Nursery Vault” by Sascha Schmidt.
