Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 152

But Adeline's answer told her: Yes.

"Target not found, everything normal..."

Her cold, emotionless voice described the current state of security, but it failed to put anyone at ease.

Logically speaking, Adeline's investigative abilities are beyond question, but psychological factors can make people suspicious.

Although Lofan believed in Adeline's abilities, the current situation couldn't help but make him subconsciously worried.

Is there really nothing there?

Just as everyone was beginning to have doubts...

416 turned around and walked towards them from a few meters away, pointing to the side.

"Prepare to change lanes, there are a lot of zombies ahead."

"..."

The group silently followed behind Squad 404, moving towards safety.

"416, UMP45, did they really not find anything?"

M16 looked at 416 walking ahead and asked in a rather relaxed tone.

416 glanced back at her, a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"Don't doubt us, we'll inform the commander if anything happens..."

After saying that, she quickened her pace and moved closer to her teammates.

M16 shrugged indifferently; after all, this attitude was within her expectations.

But M4 couldn't help but advise, "Next time, try to talk to her nicely, otherwise what will you do in the future?"

"It doesn't matter, whether she likes me or not is not something I can decide."

Luo Fan nodded secretly.

That's true...

Because of the Butterfly Incident, the situation of these two people has been very bad. Perhaps at one point, 416 even wanted to kill M16 with his own hands. Even after so long, it is understandable that this "blood feud" has not improved much.

But M4 is right, what are we going to do now...?

In Lovan's plan, once they arrive in New York, they should create Tom Cruise as soon as possible, establish their own family in New York, start dealing with underworld affairs, and have some people assist Tom Cruise in handling these matters.

In the original plan, Ironblood Workshop would become a kind of "Imperial Guard," and 416 and M16 would become Tom's second-in-command, since both of them were more in line with the gangster style in terms of personality and way of doing things.

The problem is, what if these two have internal conflicts?

Although Luo Fan knew that they would sacrifice their prejudices to some extent to complete the mission because of their own reasons, frictions of all sizes were inevitable. What should be done if such a situation occurred?

Should we leave it to Tom Cruise to handle? That might be a bit difficult...

But in any case, let's wait and see. If all else fails, we'll have to transfer 416 to Mrs. Grey's team or have him work under us.

M16's work in the underworld must be ensured. 416 can follow him, but 16 must handle underworld matters with Brother Tang. Why? Because 16's style of doing things is very much in line with the style of the underworld.

She's generous and warm to her own people. Although she's become much colder after the Iron Blood incident, after spending time with her, Luo Fan realized that 16 Dove is still their 16 Dove; she's always been there, unchanged...

But since he has become more indifferent, perhaps it is more in line with the character setting of treating his own people as his own children and ruling with an iron fist against foreign powers.

This is the true Godfather, and their family has two...

Luo Fan could already picture the scene: Tom Cruise and M16 standing atop a building, drinking together and overlooking the entire city of New York – it would be incredibly cool!

Imagine if one day they were entering a venue, or someone entered their venue, and all the girls were carrying a violin case. What would that look like?

And what's inside the violin case is probably self-evident, isn't it?

This is the real-life version of a suit-wearing thug, the kind that's invulnerable to knives and bullets.

Luo Fan couldn't help but smile, but with the mask covering his face, no one noticed his current state.

Few people knew that their commander was going to go this far...

His plan includes involvement in biopharmaceuticals, the underworld, and casinos. This will bring not only manpower, but also various material and economic resources, as well as the capital to rival Umbrella and other large corporations. He intends to carve out a niche for himself and his women in the White Eagle, and then slowly bleed the White Eagle dry...

The casino is Tom's property. After they settled down in the small bar in New York, they called over some of Jill and Griffin's original people, like a social gathering... no, I mean Helian and the orange cat. Not only did they free them from their old lives, but they also needed their help with some of their work.

If a big orange cat can cheat itself out of money like this, then it wouldn't be difficult for it to cheat the upper class out of money in a casino, right?

With a card-playing expert like SIG MCX, it wouldn't be difficult for them to stir up a lot of trouble. And with Tom Cruise, 16 Pigeons, and even the entire Iron Blood Factory protecting them, they can just keep riding on the backs of those socialites, and those socialites can only swallow their anger.

Oh, right, how could I forget? There was also a lady...

Miss Mondragon M1908, that lady whose personality is almost identical to AK15, she could also be competent for the casino's security work.

Luo Fan is determined to create her...

After all, he also had some special feelings for this young lady...

In any case, looking at the world, their "empire" is right beneath their feet.

The future is expected!

P.S.: This chapter is less about the main plot and more about what's to come, like the gangster part. To increase everyone's anticipation, it will be intertwined with the business war, featuring numerous storylines, including not only gang intrigue but also urban shootouts. Although American gangs don't usually engage in large-scale urban shootouts anymore, I just want to stir things up. Are you all looking forward to the upcoming gangster storyline?

172 Anomalies

Returning to the mission, Luo Fan and the girls safely crossed the block again and successfully moved from the main road through the alley.

They were able to cross Raccoon City more safely than planned thanks to the White Eagles' extensive network of alleyways and their culture.

They have now traveled about two kilometers more, but not in a straight line...

Not long after we re-entered another alley, the weather began to deteriorate.

The visibility of snow and wind in the air is increasing, and the temperature is dropping, which has even affected the efficiency of normal people's movements.

As the weather began to worsen, and in order to take care of Pascal's condition, the group had to take a short break behind a store.

After entering the house, AK15 dragged an old oil drum from somewhere, opened the lid, and placed it inside.

RPK16 then brought over a pile of firewood from the corner of the house, threw some into the bucket, and, together with AK15, lit it with a few windproof matches.

At this point, Luo Fan and the girls sat down around the "hearth fire".

This type of heating and relaxation is common in many countries; although rudimentary, it is extremely effective.

Everyone spontaneously made way for Pascal to sit in the closest seat, so she wouldn't shiver from the cold.

But one fire is clearly not enough for a team of about twenty people...

"AK15, and any oil drums?"

Looking at the girls sitting on the periphery, Luo Fan couldn't help but ask.

AK15 immediately stood up from the ground: "I'll go look for it."

But the executioner and the alchemist also stood up.

"We'll go too."

After saying that, the three of them walked in different directions inside the house.

But this is just the interior of a store, and for a large group like them, this space is not even suitable.

Therefore, everyone had to huddle together closely to leave a passage for people to pass through, which also made it easier to stay warm.

With nothing to do, Luo Fan could only stand around the stove in a daze.

Under the influence of the environment and psychology, Victor, who was on Lovan's left, unconsciously leaned his head closer.

Although Luo Fan was somewhat surprised, he still smiled and put his arm around the other person.

It seems she really isn't as heartless as her tone suggests...

As expected, Victor did not resist and nestled obediently in Lovan's arms, which made WA, who was sitting across the fireplace, very envious.

I should have taken the train earlier; who would have thought that Viktor, who seemed the most aloof, would be the fastest...

But no matter what, as long as that person is willing, that position will always belong to her.

AK12, as long as she wants, there will always be a place for her by Luo Fan's side, but she is a relatively peaceful person and basically has no intention of competing for it.

So from beginning to end, they were just fighting for a spot...

There was no way to win; this was the supreme authority from the Empress Dowager.

But that doesn't mean any of them will give up. No matter what, they will try their best to get their commander's attention.

But now it seems that AK12, who can sit next to Luo Fan all the time, is truly the envy of everyone...

And then Pascal's final shot...

Ugh......

Before long, AK15 returned carrying a tattered oil drum, while the executioner and alchemist carried several pieces of firewood and threw them on the ground.

They worked together to light the oil drums, creating a second "campfire".

"Go ahead, it's too crowded here."

Luo Fan casually pointed to the oil drum that had just been lit. The girls sitting on the periphery exchanged glances and then sat down next to the newly formed flame.

This time, WA reacted quickly, grabbing his gun and running to the new furnace, where he sat down behind Luo Fan.

A moment later, Luo Fan felt a touch on his back.

He turned around and saw his adorable WA-chan.

The man smiled but said nothing.

Even inside the house, they could hear the howling wind outside. If the weather continued like this, they wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon.

Even if you wanted to use a drone for reconnaissance, it wouldn't work; the drone would probably be blown against the wall by the wind and snow as soon as it took off.

45 rubbed his hands together vigorously a few times and breathed into his palms, then covered Xiao 9's hands with them.

"It looks like we won't be able to leave anytime soon..."

Her face looked rather pale.

He nodded: "If the situation is bad, we may not be able to continue the operation until tomorrow night."

If this snow continues until tomorrow...

Fortunately, they started their operation a week before the nuclear explosion; waiting just one day wouldn't have been a big deal.

Even if the snowstorm might reduce the patrol efforts at the checkpoint, they couldn't risk going out like that, at least not themselves or Pascal.

By the fire, SAT8 was already feeling a bit sleepy, while the dog and Xiao 9 had fallen asleep leaning against RO and 45, instantly relaxing the previously somber atmosphere.

It seems that not only cold weather weakens people's psychological defenses, but warmth does too...

"If it really doesn't work, let's just rest for the night. Everyone's in this state."

M870 tossed his weapons and shield aside, seemingly ready to give up.

Luo Fan could only nod, since neither his mental state nor the weather conditions were suitable for taking action.

"Alright then, let's rest for a while tonight and wait until tomorrow... wait a minute."

It seemed like he heard something.

Even Luo Fan, a human, heard it, so the girls naturally wouldn't be left behind.

Everyone fell silent instantly, listening intently to what was happening nearby.

Amidst the howling, cold wind, there were some faint noises.

"Tap, tap, tap tap tap tap... tap tap..."

"Damn it, there's a firefight!"

416 suddenly stood up from the ground, wanting to find a window to observe the situation outside.

But this is on the first floor, and there's just a small shop outside, so there's no good vantage point for observation.

So she immediately opened the door connecting the interior to the shop.

"Hey, wait!"

M16 quickly stood up, trying to stop her, but it was too late...

The moment 416 opened the door, wind and snow rushed in and blew into the room.
