Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 316

"How does it feel to see me in person?"

Perhaps recalling something amusing, Luo Fan couldn't help but laugh, his right hand restlessly beginning to stroke Jiang Feng's nose.

Jiang Feng struggled symbolically for a few moments, then buried his head in Luo Fan's arms, which was the best way to defend himself.

"It feels... amazing. You're also a bit different from what I imagined. However, I think I prefer you as you are now, with your distinct personality."

"That's what many people say..."

Perhaps in some matters, not looking back too much may actually lead to a better outcome.

At least, that's what 45 told herself back then; she preferred the version of herself she was now, the one with the means, the one who occasionally wore a mask.

These are just icing on the cake. The most important thing is that when he is in front of them, he will throw off all these masks, and he will hesitate, feel embarrassed, and feel awkward. This is the kind of commander they idealize.

That's how someone who doesn't treat them as tools, but as family, should act.

There is only one such person.

He's sitting right here...

......

"Get ready to sleep, it'll be too late if you don't go to sleep soon."

Luo Fan lifted his legs onto the sofa, adjusting his position as much as possible without disturbing Jiang Feng. Now, Jiang Feng, who was originally lying on Luo Fan's lap, was lying on top of Luo Fan.

"Um...can I change positions?"

Jiang Feng seemed to have sensed something, and his expression turned somewhat awkward.

Luo Fan was puzzled: "Why?"

They're already lying down, aren't they? Doesn't that look good?

Jiang Feng lay down slightly and looked at the spot beneath him.

Then, blushing, she said, "You...you're bumping into me..."

......

Luo Fan silently moved Jiang Feng to the inside of the sofa, then awkwardly wiped the sweat from his face.

"Feel sorry."

"Actually, it's nothing..."

Even without looking at her face, Luo Fan could sense her expression at that moment.

"Perhaps, we'll reach this point sooner or later...?"

......

468 On the other side

If it really comes to that, I'm afraid I'll be completely drained one day, since there's more than one person eyeing me...

Even worse, some are still preoccupied with their own physical needs, like Rosalia and the others. They've been watching the reverse Kabbalah factor with him for quite some time now, and who knows what will happen next...

The howling outside the window grew louder and louder, and the deterioration of the weather was already visible to the naked eye. However, Luo Fan still wanted to get up and go to the balcony to see what was going on outside. But since he was sleeping with Jiang Feng, there was no need for her to have any strange misunderstandings because of his wandering around.

We'll talk about it later...

......

Within New York City, the impact is far greater than on the outer ring of Wall Street where Lovan is located.

Buildings, streets, and trees have all suffered varying degrees of damage. Several private cars were damaged by broken wood or crushed building materials. Pedestrians have given up their plans to travel and closed their doors and windows to prevent further damage.

Almost instantly, the rain poured down without warning. If someone had a heart condition, they might have been so startled by the sudden impact that their heart would stop.

All airports were closed to flights, some railway tracks were shut down due to broken trees, and almost all modes of transportation were affected to varying degrees.

Nearly five years have passed, and this seems to be the worst and most unusual weather in New York in recent years.

June is indeed a time when typhoons can pass through, but this one is exceptionally large...

......

Heavy rain is pouring down in Colorado. Although it's not as bad as in New York, which is near the ocean, it's best to forget about going out.

Forget about girls or normal humans, even zombies would probably be pinned to the ground and unable to get up by this rain...

Helian sat on the broken sofa, bored out of her mind. A few minutes earlier, she had received a message from Lofan.

"We will remain on standby and continue preparations as conditions permit. Once the weather impact caused by the typhoon has subsided, we will get there as quickly as possible."

Both sides knew that their rendezvous had to be postponed temporarily, as the sudden change in weather completely disrupted 45's initial plans.

Therefore, the plan to arrive at the quarantine area ahead of schedule has now given them more time to prepare supplies.

Helian glanced at the living room, where they were sitting on the sofa, fiddling with the guns in their hands from time to time. Unlike the bars in New York, the atmosphere here was much more somber.

Unfortunately, their current location is inherently more dangerous, and this is one of their tasks. But at least, the current situation is entirely within their capabilities.

With a room full of guns and supplies, at least we won't have to worry about food and drink anymore...

Moreover, there are still many corpses piled up in the fire escape stairwell outside the door, which will probably start to stink in a while...

Turning his gaze to the window, Barrett set up his weapon there. During this time when they couldn't go out, the sniper dolls would try to scout ahead, and if they found any unusual targets, they would take them out.

For example, right now...

"There's a sniper..."

This wasn't the first time she'd said that, so no one really reacted. After all, when Barrett said that, they would initially feel nervous, wanting to confirm the sniper's identity and situation, but soon after, they would hear Barrett's gunshot, and then the target would be taken out.

With their own silencers, even anti-materiel sniper equipment has the ability to be concealed, which allows them to more confidently eliminate targets that may pose a threat later.

Through the scope, Barrett spotted the target's location inside a building, performing the same task as her, except that Barrett had spotted her first.

Of course, it's humanoid, so it's normal for it to spot the other party first.

Following standard procedure, the first step is to assess the other party's attire: an all-black uniform and bulletproof vest, a black helmet, and a black gas mask with red eyes on their waist. Unsurprisingly, they are members of the Umbrella USS team.

Starting three days ago, they began to spot USS more frequently, when the weather was still relatively mild.

It seems Umbrella is starting to make more moves...

Regardless, the final step of the process is to eliminate the target...

"Sizzle..."

The heat source on the target instantly scattered in all directions, and in the thermal imaging field of view, the originally dark blue interior of the building was filled with large areas of orange-red.

"Confirmed killed."

Thus, this is how Umbrella, or rather, the sniper dolls, work in shifts here. When they spot similar targets, they identify them, kill them, minimize future trouble, and reduce the likelihood of them getting close to this area as much as possible.

Today is another day of patiently waiting for work to be completed...

Barrett glanced at the ring on his ring finger, kissed it, and then returned his gaze to the scope.

......

"Aa ...

The following morning, SAT8 was awakened by Grina's scream instead of the birds' chirping.

This triggered a stress response in SAT8. The moment the strange noise occurred, SAT8 grabbed the shotgun from beside the bed and immediately aimed it at the source of the sound.

Then, they saw Grinna with a terrified expression.

"Miss Grinna? What happened?"

SAT8 was even more confused than Grina. There was nothing there, so why was she screaming?

Grina immediately scrambled to the edge of the bed, looking like a victim: "Why am I in SAT8's room?! And why aren't you dressed?!"

SAT8 looked down and realized that he was indeed naked, but he was doing so to accommodate Pascal's unsightly sleeping posture.

Last night, after Lofan left, SAT8 dried his hair and started tidying up Pascal's clothes and bedding. However, Grinna was restless in her dream, which caused SAT8, who was already extremely tired after the concert, to lose his motivation. In the end, he fell into a deep sleep wrapped in a bath towel without even changing his clothes.

This led to the misunderstanding this morning...

"So, Grina, you not only drooled on my hand, but you also ruined my SAT 8 sleep-in, didn't you?"

Luo Fan and Jiang Feng sat on the sofa, looking at Grinna across the coffee table with disdain, after all, he was also one of the victims.

"Ahaha, well, it's because I'm a little nervous since I just arrived here. I won't do it next time."

She tried to brush it off with a laugh, and even SAT8 said, "Um, Commander, I was actually planning to get up early to make breakfast for everyone, it's okay..."

It seems that SAT8 has already explained the current situation to Grina...

P.S.: There are clearly quite a few subscribers, so why are there so few votes? Let's express our opinions...

What I want to say before returning to school

Well, how should I put it... I can still sense that this book doesn't seem to have enough stickiness with its long-time readers. After observing the fan rankings for a while, I noticed that many long-time readers' data hasn't changed at all...

Well, how should I put it? I understand this issue. In the middle of the series, it feels quite mixed up, with many more characters and settings, which can be overwhelming.

Ah, but if you ask me about my own opinion, I'd definitely stick to my own. Because as long as you understand these settings, I think you'll still be amazed by how wonderful the story is and be impressed by some of the protagonist's actions when the story progresses to the later parts.

But... it still feels like people don't want to continue watching.

To be honest, even after school starts, I can still squeeze out time to write for everyone. After class, I'll take my lesson plan notebook and start writing my manuscript every night. Then, when I get home, I'll start typing on my computer. I still have plenty of time.

I have written nearly ten lesson preparation notebooks so far, and that is even considering many times when I didn't use the manuscripts. I spent a lot of time writing just some of the manuscripts and relationship diagrams.

But now, I feel that what I'm putting in and what I'm getting out are not proportional, and are even far from it.

Even in the reader group, basically only one reader will chat with me about the upcoming plot after I update. It's basically become a group for seniors, and nobody talks about the book anymore...

I'm even thinking of stopping writing altogether and just telling the whole story and setting like a storyteller. At least that way I can let everyone know what kind of story I want to tell without wasting their time.

I think it's normal for my efforts not to be understood; it's just... a little frustrating.

It's 4:17 am now, and there are still two and a half hours before I have to go back to school. I suddenly can't fall asleep, so I got up and that's why I feel this way.

469 It still has to be a big orange cat.

Judging from her reaction of not immediately asking him about the current situation, it's likely that SAT8 had already said everything he needed to say, and she had accepted reality. But surprisingly, she didn't go crazy because she had extorted Luo Fan's money and was now left with nothing...

......

“Grinna.” Lofan looked up and said in a deliberately somber tone.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Seeing that Luo Fan didn't delve deeper into the issue, Grinna naturally became very eager to help.

"We're almost out of money..." Luo Fan slowly covered his face. "What are we going to do? Now there's you too. What can you do?"

......

Grina jumped backward and almost crashed into the television behind her.

"Huh?! Uh..." She wasn't really convinced by this explanation, after all, she knew Luo Fan's professional abilities, but... it didn't seem fake...

At least Luo Fan seemed to be having a real headache, and he also had to support so many humanoids by himself, so it seemed reasonable that he was having a difficult life, right?

"Then..." she nervously tapped the floor, "Should I eat less?"

"Pfft..." This answer almost made Luo Fan break character, and even the usually indifferent Jiang Feng's face twitched involuntarily.

SAT8 had already discreetly left the scene to prepare breakfast in the kitchen, knowing that she might disrupt the Commander's performance in the following part.

"Only you could answer like that, but this isn't a problem that can be solved by eating less; we've already eaten enough."

"But your furniture doesn't look like you're short of money."

Grina reacted quickly, immediately pointing to the large LCD screen behind her that was turned off.

Luo Fan turned his head away: "I made them take it back."

"what?"

......

“After all, we’re in White Eagle now.” Lofan chuckled inexplicably, and a chill slowly crept up Grinna’s spine from the corner of his grin.

"How about we use you as collateral? After all, you're quite good-looking..."

"boom!"

The loud noise attracted even the judge and ouroboros upstairs to investigate the source of the commotion.

Then all that could be seen was the television set lying on the ground and Grina with lifeless eyes.
