Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 440

By the time they realized what was happening, the monsters had already turned into pieces of flesh and collapsed to the ground.

"Looks like some poor wretch needs my help, doesn't he?"

That joyful voice, the vandals will never forget...

"A dreamer?" But it was too late to refute him: "Won't the military discover you're using this pattern? What will you do then?"

"Me? Unlike you, I don't need anyone to protect me. That's precisely why I'm so fearless in front of those fairies..."

The dreamer on the 25th floor, after confirming there were no greater threats around the two, smiled briefly before turning her gaze to the distance... the second batch of A-10s heading this way... She could choose to shoot them down now, but that would mean the military would relentlessly pursue them for the weapons and technology they possessed—a life far more terrifying than any biological crisis, a life without peace...

"..."

That wicked smile faded from the girl's face, replaced by a calm expression. Those few shots must have been seen by the mosquitoes in the sky. After all, they could see a fighter jet adjusting its course and heading towards their location. What he wanted to do was self-evident.

"Run away while you can still run. Don't wait for the commander to pull you out of the ruins. Otherwise, I will definitely find a way to make sure he can never find you again, so as not to cause you any more trouble."

After uttering his final words, the Dreamer abruptly ended the call, shouldered the particle cannon, and charged towards the other side of the building...

The saboteurs on the ground were stunned for a moment, but then a Hydry-70mm rocket was launched from the A10, hitting the building where the Dreamers were located and then exploding.

But she knew that with the Dreamer's abilities, she couldn't possibly have been unaware; she might have even already withdrawn from there...

In the past, she would have definitely tried to refute the dreamer, but now, all she can do is worry and pray...

Their escape is not over yet; they still have a long way to go.

It's very, very long...

......

Meanwhile, Lofan also received news of the military attack from Helian, which was relayed by Chris. However, when Lofan tried to contact Chris again, the line was busy and he could not reach him at all.

Did Chris betray them? It's unlikely. The game's plot might have a twist, but the protagonist's characterization wouldn't be fabricated. He believed Chris wouldn't do something like betraying someone after so many collaborations, and there was no reason for it. So what else could it be?

The military's attack predates the destruction of the terminals and the abandonment of signal transmission, meaning the military had planned the operation in advance, and this airstrike was part of that plan...

Adeline's messages are never jokes...

"Luo Fan, we need to break through! Provide cover!"

Anjie's shout from behind the wrecked car pulled Luo Fan back to reality, and he immediately responded: "They're here! Architect, surveyor, scarecrow, suppressive fire! Alchemist, break through directly and tear open an opening! The rest of you, stay with me!"

"Roger that!"

"Here it comes! That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"

The architect had already loaded the rockets and launched them at the military's firing positions. Under the suppression of the crowd, the military did not notice in time and was completely unprepared for the sudden rocket attack, resulting in heavy casualties.

Meanwhile, the alchemist seized the opportunity to leap over cover, wielding his fist blade and charging at top speed into the enemy lines, where he began a frenzied battle. Under a series of unexpected attacks, the fire line was indeed torn open.

"Now's the time, the Rebellion Squad, follow me!"

Anjie and the rebellious squad immediately followed up with a breakout, moving to a safer location before their firepower could be replenished. The remaining members maintained suppressive fire during the move to ensure the safety of the route.

They still have to go support the Saboteurs. They got separated, SP9 is seriously injured and disabled, and the Dreamers have lost contact. Damn it...!

Amidst the flames, a tyrant, taking advantage of the smoke and the intense heat of the fire, avoided the girls' sight and immediately approached Luo Fan.

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

In a fit of rage, Lovan dodged a straight punch by sidestepping, while Hilde immediately climbed onto the tyrant's body and knocked him down with a scissor kick.

Seemingly to vent his anger, Luo Fan clenched his fist and aimed it at the tyrant's face...

"It's all for the purpose of killing all of you monsters...!"

【Puff】

One punch shattered the tyrant's head into a severely deformed shape; his skull was definitely completely broken.

That's why we've ended up in this situation...

712 Snipers

"commander...?"

......

Completely different from his past self, Luo Fan now lost all his former composure and elegance. This unbridled rage was evident in his eyes. Even though the monster beneath him had been completely annihilated, the nameless fire in his eyes still danced bewitchingly with the embers in the ruins.

He looked up at the girls in front of him, their faces showing a mix of worry, confusion, and other emotions. Yes, his behavior was indeed abnormal, but he couldn't suppress his anger. He had been suppressing it for far too long. Why had he gone this far? After being driven to desperation, a glimmer of hope finally appeared, only to turn out to be yet another wonderful deception.

【Snapped】

The pat on the shoulder startled Luo Fan slightly. It was Hilde, who had just helped him subdue the tyrant, staring at him coldly, seemingly trying to hint at something...

She looks very young, but her life experiences seem to be no less than mine, as if her current predicament is just one chapter in the long story of her life.

"...Let's go. From now on, we'll split up. Eleanor, Dido, the alchemist, 416, and 45, come with me to support the Destroyers. The rest of you, find and support Helian and all her members. Let's go."

At his command, Luo Fan grabbed the weapon at his feet and walked towards the fork in the road without looking back. He didn't want the girls to see his distorted expression anymore.

Sirius seemed to still reach out to stop her, but Dido beside him pulled him back and slowly shook her head...

The five separated individuals gradually began to catch up with Lofan's pace. Eleanor immediately unfolded her scythe and came to Lofan's side to protect him. 416 followed without hesitation. For her, this was the best proof that Lofan had affirmed her strength. She was the chosen one who could stay by his side.

"Ugh......"

45 and the alchemist turned around and looked at their teammates who were still silent but had countless words of concern they wanted to say. They had no choice but to show a bitter smile.

He waved to his teammates, then turned around and followed behind Luo Fan.

Everyone understands...

Go, go...

That's what she meant, but it wasn't appropriate to express it in words at this time.

The alchemist simply left behind a slightly raised thumb before departing.

......

"Let's go, let's do our own thing..."

With her eyes slightly closed, the A10 swept over her head again. Anjie adjusted her breathing and, looking slightly tired, gave the command.

Now that things have come to this, there is no other way. All they can do now is pray, something they had never considered before: pray that we can survive this day.

AK15 glanced sideways at RPK, who was expressionless to the side, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Will she be saddened by the fact that her joke about "living through this day" has come true?

No one will ever know...

......

......

"I'm safely back on the ground!" NTW drew his pistol and began a counterattack against the pursuing military: "Uh! Barrett, what about you?! Can you still get out?!"

"I'm trying my best...! Damn it, I can't get out! There are zombies here, and a lot of Umbrella people too. Damn it, how did they find me?!"

Barrett's predicament was far more difficult than during the previous hospital cover operation. The encirclement by zombies and night demons, the continuous attacks by the USS, and the blocked roads made the evacuation increasingly difficult.

The military and the USS seemed to be able to know the snipers' positions at any time through some unknown method. In order to cover each other's withdrawal from their respective sniping positions, the snipers chose to cover each other and take turns withdrawing back to the main force's position. However, after Barrett successfully covered NTW's withdrawal, he was once again in trouble.

"She's here! Block the road and blow up the stairs!"

Some members gave chase, while others blocked the route. Several explosions could be heard coming from the lower staircases, and even the elevator shaft had been blown up!

Barrett endured immense firepower and constantly had to be wary of nearby zombies. Even with his usually calm personality, he couldn't help but get frustrated: "Damn it, you blew up the whole road, don't you guys need to retreat?!"

But no one responded to her; what followed was another barrage of gunfire.

Now, all she could do was tell her teammates, "NTW, you should retreat first! I'll think of something else!"

"I'll move to another location to continue supporting you. Hang in there a little longer!"

Heh, I hope I can hold on...

Barrett could only console himself with a wry smile. With multiple bullet wounds to his left arm and right leg, and an abdominal injury, it was hard to say how much longer he could hold on.

"Barrett, can you hear me? Can you see me?"

Another female voice came through the earpiece; it belonged to another sniper, but her relationship with Barrett wasn't particularly close.

"TAC50?"

The name she unconsciously uttered reminded her of another device related to it. Barrett immediately looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and indeed saw a black drone hovering in the air, focusing on her.

"See my 'maple leaf'? Grab it, and I'll send you back to the ground."

The initial joy of finding hope of escape was quickly followed by worry: "But...isn't the maple leaf connected to your left eye? Won't this affect your visual module?"

"No, trust my performance... or would you rather stay in there and wait to die?"

......

At this point, Barrett no longer hesitated, using his hands to protect his head from stray bullets, and then began to run.

"I never imagined I'd break through like this again!"

As the floor-to-ceiling window shattered, Barrett leaped into the night sky, reaching out to grab the drone's mechanical skeleton at the back. However, his weight nearly caused the drone to lose its balance and almost tip over and crash.

"Uh!"

A soft whimper sounded from the TAC50, and Barrett immediately tensed up: "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

“It’s alright…” After adjusting his stance, TAC50 gritted his teeth and aimed his gun at the building where Barrett had been standing: “I’ll bring you down now.”

Having said that, he pulled the trigger...

The whistling of bullets passed by his ears, and Barrett was startled. He looked behind him along the trajectory of the bullets and saw that the USS pursuers had reached the floor-to-ceiling window and were firing wildly at him.

At this altitude, the wind speed and vibration rendered the pistol useless. Barrett was unable to fight back and could only try to protect his vitals to avoid further injury, but the barrage of fire made being shot unavoidable.

She was too heavy, which severely reduced the maneuverability of the drone, and Barrett took a lot of bullets as a result, but he couldn't complain. It was the only way for him to get away now.

713 Fall

TAC50 is currently operating under high load in two threads, needing to precisely control the maple leaf back to the ground while providing cover for the Barrett missile in the air. This places an excessive burden on computing power.

If the Barrett were lighter, it would be fine, but with this weight, my eyes are under immense strain every second...

The NTW on the ground also noticed the Barrett landing and planned to provide sniper support from the ground. However, as soon as they fired a shot, the military rushed to pursue them, and now they could only continue to run around frantically.

"Damn...!"

She sheathed the massive sniper rifle, turned, and continued running, but in the chaotic street, she quickly spotted two white figures...

One of them carried a sniper rifle larger than his own NTW20 on his back and was firing an M4 from the military. The other was even more outrageous, wielding a black and red katana and frantically shredding flesh in the street, accurately slashing down every zombie that tried to approach, while also using the anti-aircraft machine gun on his body to suppress the surrounding area.

"IWS and...Jiang Feng?"

Isn't that the ship girl with short white hair? What's she doing here? Did they break away from the group and act alone?

But there was no time to think about it. Now was the only chance to rejoin the main force. If they followed the ship girls, they would have more opportunities to break through!

Therefore, NTW immediately accelerated and rushed straight towards her two teammates not far away. Jiang Feng noticed her presence immediately and seemed to think she was an enemy. His eyes narrowed and he raised his knife to strike.

"Hey, wait, wait, we're on the same side!"

NTW immediately stopped, and IWS quickly reached out to stop Jiang Feng.

"..."

Although Jiang Feng wasn't familiar with every humanoid, seeing her girlish appearance and that strange sniper rifle, he could at least tell that she was one of his own, so he silently sheathed his knife.

With the misunderstanding cleared up, NTW immediately seized the opportunity to ask, "IWS, when did you leave? How did you run into Jiang Feng again? I didn't receive a response from you when I contacted you before?"

“Me? Ah, sorry…” IWS smiled awkwardly, then turned his face to the side: “I was also besieged by the military. My communication module was destroyed and I couldn’t respond. After trying to break through on my own, I met Miss Jiang Feng who was running, so I went with her to find the commander.”

Sure enough, there was a bullet hole in her shinbone, and the scar on her beautiful face made her strong smile seem somewhat pale.

but......

"Commander? Are you going to find the Commander?"

"Yes, Miss Jiang Feng is planning to go and support the commander, and I happen to be planning the same thing."

"Um, could we go help Barrett first, bring her back to the team, and then go find the commander together?"

......

Jiang Feng's expression remained unchanged, but IWS did become tense: "What happened to Barrett? Is she in danger?"

"She... is on her way to evacuate, landing via a TAC50 Maple Leaf drone, but she will definitely be discovered and surrounded during this process. If no one comes to her rescue, she will be in great danger..."
