M4 asked, "Are we about to set off?"
"Ah."
Luo Fan glanced out the window. It was already night, though not yet the darkest hour, but still the best cover for their operation.
"Everyone, are you ready?"
The man pondered for a moment.
"Ah."
He was met with a neat reply from the girls.
Even so, Luo Fan still felt he should say something...
"Girls, months have passed, and no matter what happened, we've made it through. But compared to the past few times, the risks this time are immeasurable. Even if it's hell, we have to go through it."
He looked around and was met with the girls' burning gazes, and those resolute souls beneath the metal and electricity.
More than machines, they are flesh and blood...
"Once we leave here, a truly new life awaits us, perhaps more exciting, perhaps more complicated, but we'll face it together, drink together, eat snacks together, play games together, and laugh heartily..."
At this point, everyone present couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Although this is a death flag, I still want to say that I am very happy to fight alongside you."
He looked at them with a pure smile...
"We are too, Commander."
"Little 9, who was standing in the front row, said with a smile."
"If anyone tries to stop us, just 'bang, crack,' and tear them down!"
The dog in the corner excitedly raised its gun.
"M16 told me you can mix drinks, but I've never even tried one yet. I'll have to wait until I've tasted one before I say anything!"
The executioner slammed his cleaver into the ground and laughed heartily.
"It is my honor to fight alongside you..."
"Stop saying such unlucky things; they're not qualified to stop us."
"Tsk, you big idiot, are you trying to put some pressure on yourself because you think your life is too easy?"
The girls' voices rose and fell, each expressing their innermost thoughts...
P.S.: I need to say something about the parts of this book that relate to relationships...
Regarding the emotional connection between the dolls and the main character, it's less about attracting viewers and more about my own emotional expression. So, everyone is welcome to comment, but I won't accept any changes. You can criticize and offer suggestions on other parts, but if anyone disagrees with the emotional aspect, I can only say, "I'm not wrong, but I'll do it again next time!"
I might need your advice, but I don't need your opinion. You can give feedback, but I won't change it next time.
170 Let’s go!
"Well then, it's time..."
Luo Fan glanced at his watch; it was already 6:32 pm. If they were fast enough, they could leave Raccoon City before midnight. If the snowstorm intensified by then, it would become even more troublesome.
Leaving as soon as possible is the best course of action.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Luo Fan strode toward the iron gate, the exit from this warm nest, with the girls following closely behind him without hesitation.
Once again, I took the elevator outside the apartment and returned to the outside world. It felt like only a day had passed, yet it was like another lifetime.
A strong wind had already picked up outside, making the entire forest rustle and sending snowflakes and sand flying into the air, which made Lovan and Pascal, who were human, very uncomfortable.
Pascal was a flower in a greenhouse, and the current temperature was already unbearable for her, but she still endured it with her own willpower.
She clearly didn't want others to worry about her, but everyone actually knew how she was feeling...
Just bear with it, in order to leave this place alive...
That was the only way they could comfort each other.
Lovan took out two pairs of goggles and handed one pair to Pascal.
"Put it on, it might make you feel better."
"Ah."
Squad 404 headed ahead towards the gate of the living area to conduct reconnaissance near the exit, while the others followed at a steady pace.
Luo Fan asked 45, who was dozens of meters away, through his earpiece: "How's the situation?"
"Safe. Zombies have not returned to the area, and no humans have been found."
"Received. Continue along the shortest route."
After saying that, Squad 404 nimbly climbed over the car gate barrier and slowly moved toward the street on the left.
The following teams then proceeded along the areas they had already traversed.
Without the help of drones, they can only operate in this inefficient way, which is one of the reasons why Lovan wanted to act ahead of schedule.
If they continue operating at this pace, setting off around midnight, they might not even leave Raccoon City until tomorrow morning.
"Safe, continue..."
45 waved and led his teammates to continue moving towards the street.
The original plan was to head towards the Dulin area, but considering they encountered USS personnel on their way back last night, they had to take a slightly longer route.
"Adeline continues to scout, the rest of you, quicken your pace."
"receive."
Luo Fan gave concise instructions, and everyone quickened their pace.
This place has been visited before, so we can't waste too much time here.
But the 404 team, tasked with the reconnaissance mission, had some other ideas...
"Is it really a good idea to speed up at a time like this...?"
AA12 looked at 45 beside her, her previously calm face now filled with deep worry.
But 45 simply shook his head: "No, before the operation, Adeline, the commander, and I had already conducted aerial reconnaissance with drones. This area is safe, so there is indeed no need to waste too much time."
Although using drones is risky, the only concern is that their location might be revealed due to the drone's trajectory during operations.
However, their location was not exposed before the operation, and their safety was greatly enhanced by maintaining a high altitude while conducting reconnaissance through Adeline.
45 and Adeline both knew that their commander was not stupid, and that they had done a very good job of carrying out the reconnaissance work.
Seeing this, AA12 no longer had any doubts and focused on the investigation.
Adeline's prosthetic eye didn't detect any targets, which meant the surrounding area was safe. With current technology, it was impossible to completely hide from Adeline, and even if it were possible, they wouldn't think of carrying such equipment when facing zombies.
This is thanks to Paradis's cutting-edge technology!
In terms of both strength and technology, they've won miserably, except for information...
If drones could also be deployed, and Adeline could use her force field shield, then she would truly be able to roam freely in Raccoon City.
......
"M4, how far are we from the checkpoint?"
After walking for about twenty minutes, Luo Fan couldn't help but ask a question.
M4 took out the map from his backpack and looked at it.
......
"Uh......"
M4's expression turned somewhat grim.
"what happened?"
The other person's expression made Luo Fan a little scared.
“Uh… Commander, there’s still about 16 kilometers left.”
"..."
Sigh, leaving early was definitely a good choice. The midnight wind and the more than ten kilometers of travel made it feel like a journey that would make you want to run yourself to death.
"How about we have a drink? M16 and I took at least half of the stock in your cabinet!"
The executioner pulled a bottle of rum from behind his back and placed it in front of Luo Fan.
"At times like these, you should have a drink to warm yourself up!"
Luo Fan looked at the bottle of wine placed on his face and shook his head.
"No need, you and M16 can drink. I'm human, drinking might affect my condition."
Upon seeing the other party's refusal, the executioner was somewhat disappointed, but also expressed his understanding.
"Ah, that's true. Come on, M16, let's drink."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the executioner yanked the cork off with his bare hands and shoved the bottle neck into the mouth of the M16.
"Well!"
M16 was not paying attention to the conversation between the two men and was looking around when the executioner next to him suddenly shoved a bottle into his hand.
M16 took the bottle out of his mouth after drinking for three or four seconds.
"Uh, what are you doing?!"
"Drinking, what else can we do?"
The executioner nonchalantly spread his hands, looking like he was saying, "Come on, bite me!" and then took a sip of wine himself.
"Tsk, really..."
Although he was annoyed by having a bottle poked in his mouth, M16 still took out a bottle of Jack Daniel's from his bag and started drinking.
I've never seen this before, but Luo Fan only knows it now. It seems that M16 has a pretty good relationship with the Executioner after joining Ironblood. He's not angry even after being messed with like this.
Perhaps this is the mutual appreciation between two old drunkards.
He couldn't help but want to yell, "YM, can you expand on Girls' Frontline's daily life and visual novel elements? You're expecting me to come up with all these friendly interactions on my own?!"
You're giving out knives, fine, but couldn't you at least give out some sweetness too?!
Luo Fan couldn't help but spit viciously. If he had the chance to return to Donghuang, he would definitely drag Chong out, rip off his hood, and make sure he didn't get a good drink!
Seeing Luo Fan's somewhat angry expression, the executioner handed him the wine bottle again.
"Hmm, are you in a bad mood? Would you like a drink?"
Seeing the executioner's older sister's smile, Luo Fan's anger subsided by more than half.
"No, no need. We'll have a good drink with you once we get out."
"Then I'll wait."
The team, which had been in a somewhat low mood, became more lively because of this little incident.
171 "Empire"
7:29 pm, mid-town area of Raccoon City
Lofan and the girls had bypassed the Raccoon City center and traveled 5 kilometers from the side, reaching the middle of the city.
Due to the weather, the wind intensified, and the snowstorm returned, forcing everyone to regroup and slow down their pace.
The girls shielded Luo Fan and Pascal tightly. If Luo Fan hadn't been taller, he might not have been able to see what was happening outside. Pascal could only follow the group and had no idea what was going on outside.
But even the best protection can't stop the relentless, penetrating cold wind...
Pascal couldn't help but pull his coat collar tighter to keep warm.
But no one had time to check on her condition. The 404 team's reconnaissance range and speed had slowed down, meaning they could only be more vigilant to prevent any unnoticed threats.
They were no longer in the mood for jokes.
"Speaking of which, we've traveled quite a distance, haven't we encountered any problems yet?"
RO couldn't help but ask, "Besides the terrible weather, the current situation is eerily quiet."
