Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 405

However, Pascal seemed to have anticipated this problem and offered a better solution: the shrikes. If, as Pascal said, they could dispel Yingque's doubts, then it is believed that they could truly put Yingque at ease in the future and allow her to live a peaceful and stable life.

Thinking this, Luo Fan raised his head and looked at the shrike: "Everyone, can I trust you?"

"Of course, we will not let you down. After I renovate your bar, I believe Miss Yingque will enjoy life to the fullest."

Vulcan continued to respond, and regarding the doctor, Lovan also needed to confirm something...

"Juno, I think I need to remind you too. Yingque's health has been very poor lately, and it might even be affecting her daily life. I hope you can be patient and take good care of her..."

Rosalia said that the intractable diseases caused by the reverse Kabbalah factor have almost no solution with modern medicine, but if possible, she still hopes that she can... at least be comforted by a psychologist so that she doesn't become too desperate...

Juno nodded, her eyes slightly closed: "I will do my best, please rest assured."

The other two are mainly responsible for security matters, which doesn't require much instruction. Besides, they're both not very talkative, so I'm sure they can handle it well.

However, Aphrodite took a small object out of his pocket, something like a terminal, and handed it to Lovan.

Aphrodite nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "This is the Shrike's command terminal. You can issue any instructions or convey any information to Yingque through this terminal. We do not obey any instructions from any high-ranking Nieto. We only obey the instructions of Miss Yingque, Miss Pascal, and you. This terminal can only be activated by your iris. If it is lost, please inform Miss Pascal immediately, and we will update the terminal code immediately."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Luo Fan took the terminal and put it in his pocket for the time being, to be kept by the leader later.

The fact that they were an independent unit outside of Paradis gave Lovan even more peace of mind. As long as they weren't called up by any high-ranking Nieto, they could ensure that they were always by Yingque's side to provide protection.

This also serves as a wake-up call, as some eyes have already noticed their connection to the bar and are attempting to target the people inside.

Although the new friends at the bar are absolutely capable of ensuring safety there, it would still be better to have a few trustworthy bodyguards.

"That's all. They'll be heading to the bar tonight to meet Yingque. If you're also planning to continue your journey, you should set off as soon as possible."

Having finished the greetings, it was time for Luo Fan and the girls to move on to their next move. Pascal wouldn't linger; the sooner this was resolved, the sooner they would find peace.

Luo Fan nodded in response, then turned and left: "Then I'll be going now."

"I send you."

The shrikes watched the two leave, and once they were completely out of sight, they began their own preparations.

From now on, they will also be returning to work from their idle state...

......

Inside the elevator, silence was supposed to follow until it reached its destination, but Pascal broke it; she had one last thing to tell him...

"By the way, when you get back there, could you please give this to Adeline for me?" It was a black, layered plastic object. "Just give it to her, she'll know what to do."

"......Row."

PS: When the part about Luo Fan and the girls comes to a temporary end, there will be a separate long chapter about Ying Que, which tells about the people and things she experienced in New York. I believe that those of you who have read this far already know my style. I do things my own way, and I will definitely write according to my own ideas. This is also part of my planned group portrait.

635 Return.1

When they returned to the sixteenth floor, the girls were no longer dressed casually, but had changed into their usual combat uniforms. Anjie, on the other hand, was still wearing a smart suit. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, standing in front of the elevator door, looking ready to make a big splash at any time.

"Looks like they're all set to go."

Luo Fan laughed.

"Of course, let's get going as soon as possible. I'm not here for a vacation, after all. I have to do something productive in this outfit."

Ange put on her gloves, and apart from not having a gun, she was no different from the resilient and strong woman on the battlefield. Her prosthetic leg was still free of rust, and her yearning for a different future remained unwavering. She firmly believed that she could achieve a different ending in this completely different world.

"Don't worry, you'll miss your vacation days sooner or later."

Luo Fan simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying, then gestured with his chin toward the company: "Let's go, everyone, there's still a long way to go before the weekend."

"We don't care about rest days, Commander. Even though we're no longer in the port, we'll still go with you to every corner of the world."

Essex nodded in agreement with the company: "The final destination is no longer the ocean; everything is measured by your own two feet."

"It seems your girls are more determined than you are."

Pascal nudged Luo Fan's waist again. Whether it was because he had tickled her funny bone or because their answers were too decisive, Luo Fan nodded slightly, seemingly trying to control his expression, but he still couldn't help himself.

He shrugged: "After all, a bad soldier is just one bad soldier, and a bad general makes a bad army. The commander has to set an example."

"I often hear that ship girl from the East say that. Why are you repeating it again?"

These words sounded familiar to Kaga, and in the port's memory, they were spoken by that ship girl from the East.

Luo Fan, after all, was quoting classical texts, and moreover, he had heard it from a certain ship girl, so he appeared quite relaxed: "Oh, right, that's what Binjiang told me," then turned around and re-entered the elevator: "We'll send her over sooner or later."

"It seems my sister's competitors have to come up one more spot."

Kaga's concerns were not unfounded, but whatever kind of companions Luo Fan might want to bring later was another matter. Now that the short rest was over, it was time to get his mind in order and return to that pitch-black hell.

Everyone is waiting for them...

"Have a nice trip and stay safe."

Pascal didn't get into the elevator; he just stood in front of the doors, watching them slowly close until the very last moment...

"You too, take care."

......

......

"Ugh."

When they finally left, leaving Pascal alone, he inadvertently let out a sorrowful sigh.

"I sincerely hope that your girls will always keep you motivated to move forward."

She looked at the black terminal in her hand, activated it, stared at the cloud map status template on the screen, and couldn't help but smile bitterly...

"Adeline, this may be the only thing I can do for you now..."

......

Driving to the rendezvous point, a helicopter was already waiting on the rooftop of a building. Luo Fan had already established good relations with these contacts, so there was no need for coded messages anymore. Just seeing the mask was enough to identify who it was.

After everyone boarded the plane and settled into their seats, the propellers began to work, and the giant steel bird once again took off from New York, heading towards distant Colorado.

The ship girls are ready to go into battle at any time, but Luo Fan and Ange are inexplicably excited...

......

“Disobedience Squad,” Helian entered the living room at two in the morning and spoke in a low voice, sounding slightly tired: “The commander is about to land at the usual place, and he specifically asked you to go and meet him.”

AK12 had no objection to this, and stood up from the sofa with his gun on his shoulder: "Hmm? Why are you suddenly insisting that we go?"

He said he had a surprise for us, but I don't know what it is.

After saying that, Helian yawned and went back to her room, leaving the four members of the Rebellious Squad looking at each other in bewilderment.

"A surprise, a surprise for the commander, what do you think it will be?" AK12 laughed.

AN94 shook her head, indicating she knew nothing, so RPK, with her more "imaginative" mind, answered: "The latest style of oath ring? The Commander's wedding invitation?"

"Anjie".

Everyone turned around, surprised that AK15 would participate in this meaningless conversation.

RPK raised an eyebrow and teased, "How did you know?"

"Sooner or later, the Commander will call Ange. Now is the time when the Commander needs Ange."

“It might be quite possible,” AN94 nodded. “We have too many members right now, and it might be difficult for two people to manage them all. If it were Ange, she might be able to alleviate the pressure.”

Seeing that both teammates agreed with this view, AK12 saw no need to question it. He put on his coat and went out, saying, "Let's hope you guess right. Let's go."

Regardless of whether it's Anjie or not, the priority is to see the person first. It would be best if we could confirm that the person is alright; there's no need for any surprises.

"OTS14, I'll leave the night watch to you for now."

Before leaving, AN94 turned back and said.

Flash responded with a sip of strong coffee: "Leave it to me."

The landing location had been communicated in advance, and the Rebellion Squad began its operation along a specific route. The number of zombies seemed to have increased significantly, and the streets were more dangerous than before. The activity of the military and the USS had also decreased significantly, but it could not be ruled out that they had also begun to continue their operations in a more covert manner.

The Rebellion Squad continued to weave through the streets and alleys, avoiding the zombies' gaze, as they made their way to the helipad.

On the way, AN94 whispered, "Should we tell the commander about the hospital later?"

“45 has already reported this in advance,” AK12 replied as he ran without looking back, “The commander said that he would arrange for people to go in and explore later. For now, the priority is to regroup.”

The hospital refers to the intelligence they obtained from the local population during their operation in the quarantine zone. GRE had conducted temporary personnel relief work there, and it is said that Umbrella had also intervened. After the area fell, large and small firefights were frequently seen in the vicinity. Perhaps there are some interesting clues waiting for them to discover there.

Whether it's useful or not, they have to dig deep and not overlook any possibility that could be detrimental to Umbrella...

636 Return.2

“They’re one of our own, here to meet you. It’s your godfather’s doing.”

After informing the lookout, the rebellious squad entered the rooftop. A gust of wind immediately hit them, and the helicopter was about to land. Through the porthole, they could see Luo Fan sitting inside, along with several other familiar or unfamiliar friends.

Of course, there's also what AK15 had anticipated long ago...

"Looks like you were right, 15. I didn't realize you were so sentimental. Are you getting ready to switch jobs?"

AK15 scoffed at AK12's absurd joke and remained silent, waiting for their two commanders to return together.

AK15's reaction was as expected. AK12 stopped joking, tidied his wind-blown hair, and walked towards the helicopter's cabin door. To be honest, although they didn't look particularly special, they were actually quite happy.

......

"See that? Your old subordinate came to pick you up in person. Don't you want to say something to comfort him?"

"What am I supposed to offer in terms of comfort? Good food and warm clothes? They're much healthier than us."

"That's true, haha..."

Luo Fan had already guessed that An Jie wouldn't show her emotions too obviously, so he made a joke, but like AK15 on the other side, she wasn't very interested in it.

After all, what could be more exciting than seeing the person in person?

After opening the hatch, Luo Fan greeted the girls: "Look who's here!"

"I thought you were on vacation, but it turns out you were still doing something important. You even invited an expert to help you solve your problems."

RPK subconsciously responded to Luo Fan's teasing, but when she actually saw that familiar face, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across her face. However, she quickly recovered and returned to her forced smile.

“I did take a long vacation,” Ange said, unable to hide her smile as she faced her four old subordinates. “But I’ve recovered, and at least I won’t be being watched and bitten by the Stasi anymore.”

AK12 nodded in acknowledgment, and this time, a hint of sincerity could finally be seen in his smile: "It seems you haven't had a peaceful time while we were away."

"Nonsense, the commander in charge of special operations lost all four of his elite men in one night. It's already a miracle that I'm still alive and standing on the streets of East Berlin."

Because of this, Anjie suffered a lot, and only she knows what she went through there. However, it's not something to brag about. After all, it's somewhat shameful to be in such a sorry state after having a formal job.

......

"Why does it seem like all of the Commander's friends have so many stories to tell...?"

Essex, who had been observing from the sidelines, whispered his doubts to the company, but the company could only slowly shake its head...

"The commander's stories are never short of stories. Now we also know that he has never been the commander of a department. Let's keep a calm mind. Perhaps we will see more new things in the future."

The ability to quickly accept the status quo is one of the company's strengths. Now that even something as rare as time travel has happened, what else could possibly make her curious, confused, or surprised?

As long as I can see the commander again...

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Luo Fan waved his hand, offering a reminder: "Let's talk about it when we get back. Don't stay here too long, or you might cause trouble for others."

During this time, Luo Fan glanced at the "staff" nearby. They were clearly hoping to leave as soon as possible after picking up the people. If he and the girls didn't leave, it would be difficult for them to clean up the mess. As partners, it was better to avoid causing each other trouble.

Everyone knew this wasn't the place to talk, so they suppressed their growing curiosity and began heading back towards the safe house.

With more members returning, they needed to slow down and remain vigilant about their surroundings...

"Enterprise, scout the surroundings."

"clear."

At Luo Fan's command, the aircraft carrier unveiled its deck, ordering its air wing to take to the skies and monitor the surrounding road conditions.

But for Anjie, this was something she had never heard of before...

"...What kind of high-tech technology from over fifty years ago is this?"

"This shouldn't be called technology, it should be called magic."

Luo Fan could only chuckle to himself. He only had a vague understanding of the origins of the ship girls' abilities, so he didn't need to explain the origins. He just needed to make Ange understand the specific effects of these abilities.

"It's like the aircraft carrier has been transformed into a human form, which is the legendary war god in the Pacific theater that you see in front of you. Whatever weapons are on her hull, she can use them in a more flexible and covert way while retaining their original power. In other words, it's a miniature warship."
