Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 230

The two returned to the room without informing the girls beforehand; the incident was sudden, and everyone needed time to process it.

The girls were all troubled by one thing: Miss Yingque's relationship with the Commander was already so deep, didn't that mean she had permanent residency rights in the Commander's room? What would they do if they wanted to go to the Commander's room in the future?

They weren't jealous of the kind girl, but they were still somewhat resentful...

While everyone was troubled, AK12 silently picked up a pillow from the sofa and walked towards Luo Fan's room.

Under the watchful eyes of many expectant heroes returning home, at least for AK12, who took the first step without hesitation, she is a hero.

If there's a first one, there will inevitably be a second one...

......

"dong dong dong"

"Please come in!"

Luo Fan shouted, and then he saw AK12, who was hugging a pillow, wearing loose pajamas, and with his eyes closed.

Damn, the thumping sound + AK12, Luo Fan is inexplicably getting PTSD...

Seeing the pillow in her hand, Luo Fan understood what she meant. He glanced down at Ying Que, not daring to respond immediately.

AK12 naturally understood the commander's predicament and did not force his way up, but waited for Yingque's reaction.

But the person in her arms stirred, sat up, and waved: "Want to come along? Come on, it's cold outside, it's winter now."

In Yingque's opinion, AK12 looked like she was getting ready to sleep, but she even closed her eyes. Who knows, she might bump her head on the table next to her while walking? That's too dangerous!

Upon hearing this, both Luo Fan and AK12 were stunned.

AK12 wasn't smiling as usual; her expression was indifferent, which suggested the situation might not be very friendly. However, before the commander could even speak, Miss Yingque had already agreed.

Although she was a little taken aback, when she got to the bed, AK12 nodded and smiled to show her friendliness.

"My name is AK12. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Yingque."

"Yes, me too. I'm new here, so I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

Surprisingly, it's quite harmonious...

The two moved aside, and after AK12 laid out the pillows, the three of them lay down in the blankets together.

Luo Fan took out his phone and was browsing something.

"Commander, aren't you going to rest?"

AK12 leaned closer to look at the information on the screen, though Yingque had no idea why AK12 was keeping her eyes closed...

"Uh......"

"Yingque wants to work the night shift, and I'm looking for a suitable place."

Before Yingque could explain, a soft laugh interrupted her.

"Naturally, she received a light punch from Yingque: 'What night shift? Really... AK12, listen to me, it's just... when I was little, Luo Fan and I were locked in a shopping mall at night. He was holding my hand and leading me forward, and I... I miss that feeling a bit. Turns out, Luo Fan is actually going to do something like that.'"

She initially thought it was just a rather unusual childhood anecdote, but as soon as she finished speaking, AK12's eyes snapped open like a shark smelling blood, flashing with an ominous purple light that made Yingque feel uneasy.

"So you and the Commander were back then... um!"

Before the suspicion could grow any further, Luo Fan stopped it in time and closed her eyes with his hand.

"Oh, I was so young back then, how could that be..."

AK12 is also sensitive; even the slightest disturbance will trigger a reaction from her. However, she managed to control herself and didn't ask any further questions.

If the AK12 itself carries the connotation of being out of control, then perhaps she is Griffin's Akagi...

Fortunately, Yingque doesn't yet understand what it means for AK12 to have its eyes open... but even if he does, he'll probably just laugh it off.

A few minutes later......

"Found one."

In the silent room, a man's voice rang out, and two pairs of eyes focused on him again.

"Wild Mall is hiring 4-8 night shift security guards. I've been there before... One week of night shifts, no quitting allowed, starting salary $1600?!"

The sudden rise in pitch made Ying Que tremble all over, and she subconsciously pulled the blanket up a little more.

Although he wasn't short of money, Luo Fan still subconsciously grinned. What kind of shopping mall could charge $1600 a week for a night shift?

"That's a very high price..."

AK12 muttered nonchalantly.

"It's very high... Que'er, what do you think?"

"..."

AK12 now desperately wishes it could have a human name, otherwise... Er'er, never mind, that's too strange.

After a brief moment of thought, Ying Que shook her head: "I'm fine with anything. I don't care how much I earn, as long as we can stay together. And the requirement is 4-8 people, which means we can bring even more people, right?"

If Luo Fan weren't so clear about the current situation, he might have thought she was preparing to ask for a trip.

"So, the conditions here are actually not bad for you, right?"

"Hmm, there shouldn't be a more suitable place than here, right?"

Since that's the case, there's probably nothing more to consider.

Luo Fan swiped the screen a few times, operated his phone, and accepted the job application.

He added, "I'll report there at 9 p.m. tomorrow, and then I can start working."

"it is good."

"understood."

Ying Que also raised her hand, gesturing for Luo Fan to turn off the desk lamp: "Then let's get some rest. We have to prepare for the night shift tomorrow. It's been so long since I've experienced night shift life, haha..."

She quickly got into the zone, seemingly already quite sleepy, perhaps because her sleep schedule was much healthier than Luo Fan's.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Fan turned to AK12 and whispered, "The staff requirement is 4-8 people. For now, it's decided that it will be me, Ying Que, and the entire Rebellious Squad. While experiencing life with Ying Que, we will also be responsible for protecting her safety, but don't carry any firearms. Also, prepare fake identities for us in advance tomorrow. I'll think about the remaining two members."

"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me."

AK12 nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Although it's just a night shift job and there's no need to make such a fuss, it still reflects both Luo Fan's occupational habits and his concerns about profits and losses.

Working the night shift at the mall was indeed a novel experience, especially when it was with girls.

Going from a tactical doll to a shopkeeper, does that count as going back to the doll's original job?

"Good night."

"Good night."

......

The next morning, when AK12 came out of Luo Fan's room, he was surrounded by the girls who asked him how things had gone last night.

Her eyes darted around, she thought for a moment, then said with a troubled expression, "Hmm... Miss Yingque might not like being disturbed by others..."

P.S.: I posted two days' worth of drafts by mistake. Oh well, I have to take a break tomorrow.

Work begins on 319

......

"What the hell?"

Luo Fan's furrowed brows clearly showed his confusion and displeasure.

I feel like I've been played.

Not only him, but no one understood the meaning of the recording...

Yingque picked up the rules he had written down and began to examine them carefully.

AK12's smile had vanished from her fair face at some point: "The recording repeatedly mentions the sounds of plastic rubbing, collisions, and the friction of metal joints twisting. What does this mean?"

That's right, that's the question. The recording mentions what sound is coming from, but doesn't say what it's coming from.

They were even allowed to make reasonable use of the fire axe on the wall. What could possibly threaten them?

The originally harmonious and cheerful monitoring room was shrouded in a suffocating gloom by this recording.

And finally, the model who was mentioned several times.

"Could this be some kind of prank by a long-time employee?"

45 leaned back slightly, fiddling with the cell phone provided by the shopping mall.

AN94 shook his head: "Probably not. The logistics staff specifically told us to listen to this recording pen, so they're probably not joking. Besides, we're security personnel."

"Agree."

Luo Fan took the paper from Ying Que and began to think about the part of the paper that Ying Que had circled.

Those are some keywords...

“通讯设备、照明设备、备用电池、2人同行、1人监控室、过载、1:15-2:45时单人前往地下室进行工作，此时其他人员在安保室待好、停电时巡逻人员远离监控室、塑料碰撞摩擦声、金属衔接部位扭动摩擦声、播放声音、三楼西侧深处配电室......”

More keywords were circled, but Luo Fan only glanced at them.

He couldn't quite understand what could be threatening them.

A humanoid object, a model... that's unlikely, isn't it?

Although I am a materialist, this recording can indeed be very swaying, especially when one's psychological defenses are weakened by the cold and gloomy environment.

He glanced somewhat bewildered at the cell phones the mall had provided them; it was already 10:22 pm.

In other words, the work has already begun...

RPK16 gently stroked AK15's long hair a few times: "So what's next? Who goes on patrol first, and who stays here?"

Everyone looked at Luo Fan, waiting for his instructions.

Luo Fan already had the answer in his heart.

“I, Yingque, AK12 and AN94, RPK and AK15, and I will split into three teams. First, Yingque, AK12 and AN94 will go first, while RPK and AK15 will watch the monitor. Then, AK12, you guys come back first, and RPK and AK15 will go out to patrol. Then I will come back again, and AK12 and AN94 will go out again. This cycle will continue. When it’s time, Sister 45 will go to work in the basement.”

"Ok."

"Yes."

Regardless, let's go out with Yingque first. We need to experience life first. Besides, he doesn't really believe the threats mentioned in the recording. Even if they are, we can probably deal with them well with a flashlight. It shouldn't be a big problem.

Everyone took out their phones, took pictures of the map on the wall, and prepared to start their night shift.

"Then, let's go."

......

After the two teams left, RPK sat down in the spot where Luo Fan had been sitting, turned on his computer, and prepared to check the surveillance footage.

While waiting for the computer to boot up, AK15 sat down next to her.

Seeing that the other person had taken the initiative to approach her, RPK resumed her usual smile: "AK15, you haven't said anything just now. Don't you have any thoughts on this recording?"

“There are some, but they don’t help much. I’ll choose to play it by ear.”

Her cold voice echoed in the small room.

...As expected, a boring answer.

RPK sighed. After the computer successfully booted up, she opened the monitoring software.

About a minute later...

"Tsk, is this some kind of ancient surveillance device?"

AK15 was drawn to RPK's voice and looked at the computer screen.

No wonder someone as easygoing as RPK couldn't help but say that.

"And it's so noisy..."

The computer made a lot of noise, which seemed to be buzzing in 45's head.

This surveillance camera can only view one area at a time, unlike regular cameras which can view multiple rooms simultaneously. Moreover, the screen is full of static, making it difficult to make out anything clearly. It's unrealistic to expect to see anything in detail.

"This is really awful..."
