Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 388

That was the sound of bullets hitting steel plates, and not just once. These shots, fired from different angles, all hit the same object. But at this height and volume, what kind of metal object could be so close to a human being at a similar height?

Turning back again, this time out of curiosity about what he had hit, he found that masked bastard was already right in front of him. There was no time to think; he had to bite the bullet and go for it.

Instinctively stepping back, I sensed the relatively empty table behind me and used the momentum to roll backward and create distance. However, my opponent's reaction was equally impressive; as they flipped over the table, they launched a kick. Fortunately, the distance was enough for me to react...

After dodging to the side in a low posture, Leon began to take the initiative to attack, trying to restrict her limbs before she landed. If successful, he could switch from defense to offense. With such a wide and sweeping posture, she would definitely not have time to adjust her body!

But AR15 understood the young man's thoughts with just a glance. Ah, he had already considered this possibility when he flipped the table. He would definitely not give up this opportunity, and so he took the bait.

Before his hands could be handcuffed, AR15 immediately braced his free right hand on the table, creating a new fulcrum to support his upper body movement at a sufficient angle. The final effect, as Leon perceived it, was...

"Damn it...!"

Before he even landed, his opponent's right leg, which had been kicking forward, was forcibly pulled to the left and whipped towards Leon's temple. However, Leon's extensive training had given him considerable adaptability, and he immediately pulled back to defend and blocked the opponent's whip kick. But the force of the kick was beyond imagination, and he stumbled and lost his balance, falling to the ground.

The pistol also slipped from his hand, but this fall was also an opportunity, successfully creating at least two meters of distance. Leon quickly got up to pick up the pistol, but the other party was already moving forward faster, kicking the pistol away, and then trying to grab Leon's neck.

"...!"

Although his opponent was clearly female, Leon's rational mind told him that there was a significant difference in strength and he could not defend directly. Therefore, he rolled low to create distance again. His opponent relentlessly pursued him, and he tried to counterattack with a low sweeping kick, but she jumped up and dodged it.

If I wasn't afraid of hurting you, I would have killed you long ago...

AR15 thought to herself, and then tried to grab his leg to restrict his movement, but after Leon missed his kick, he rolled backward to create distance.

Wow, that's pretty agile. Looks like you've practiced a lot over the past six months...

After maintaining a safe distance, AR15 did not attempt to attack again, but simply stared at his opponent. However, his sneer was hidden behind his black mask. In Leon's eyes, his opponent seemed to be considering a new strategy because of his strength.

"Not today, ma'am."

Leon's occasional witty remarks seem to be a habit, especially since he's not at a huge disadvantage right now; in fact, he's even slightly ahead.

But the next second, he felt a terrifying force clamping down on his neck and arms from behind. He tried to struggle, but found that he couldn't move. The other person's arms didn't even tremble.

"Have you been here too long, so you can't even capture an ordinary person?"

"Tsk, I'm worried about accidentally hurting him, but he is indeed a bit stronger than the average person."

Seeing that both sides were engaging in such an extremely "contemptuous" conversation while trying to control themselves, Leon seemed to feel ignored.

"...Uh, what are you talking about? Can you...uh...let me go first?"

"No, our boss wants to see you."

M16 behind him said something in a mock-joking manner, wondering if he was really starting to embody the Godfather role in New York.

"Alright then, who's your boss? Someone who can train women as capable as you, uh!"

M16 tightened his grip again, silencing Leon. Jokes aside, the most important thing was to quickly explain the situation and get the man away.

A moment later, everyone gathered together. Luo Fan and 45 arrived last, and Leon only found out now...

The other side went to such lengths just to capture me alone...?

592 Metaphor

One, two, three, four... Ten people, ten fully armed guys, all coming for him. Leon couldn't help but start to doubt the effectiveness of the "witness protection program." What kind of information leak could have made a group of unidentified people target him?

"What do you want?"

Chris and the others were still stalling for time outside, so Leon could only try to resolve things here as quickly as possible and try to meet the other party's demands. Breaking free was impossible; his strength was as weak as a whimpering puppy in front of this woman.

The man at the head of the group quickly stepped forward, solemnly removed his mask, and looked somewhat nervous. Nevertheless, Lyon was all too familiar with this handsome Eastern man's face.

"Wait, who are you...?"

“Yes, it was me,” Luo Fan nodded quickly. “The people who rescued you from Raccoon City, including everyone here, were all participants.”

"Why are you here? The DPD has been designated a restricted area. You must leave immediately, the BSAA will be here soon!"

As if the grievance he had just suffered had never happened, Leon seemed to show concern for Luo Fan, which was unexpected. He hadn't expected Luo Fan to remember it so clearly, even recognizing that face...

For some reason, Luo Fan was a little moved that he, an insignificant person, had been remembered by the protagonist of a movie.

But Luo Fan remained expressionless and silently instructed M16 to reduce its force: "I was just about to leave when I found out you were here. Time is short, so I'll get straight to the point. Leon, now, immediately, leave this police station. If you don't want to be buried under the ruins with a bunch of nocturnal monsters, then get out of here."

Although Leon was overjoyed by the appearance of his savior, he also had a mission to complete, and besides, Lovan's kindness was inexplicable and incomprehensible to him.

"No, I can't leave yet. I have a mission to complete before I can go back, or at least I can't complete it..."

"I know you're here to find the right file, right? Tell me what file it is first, maybe I can find it."

Luo Fan immediately interrupted him. He was fully aware of Leon's purpose in coming here, and would be more than willing to offer any assistance, but only if he knew what document it was...

"This is classified information. Although you saved my life, I cannot comply due to my duty."

Saving a life-saver is one thing, but Leon is more concerned about his mission now. He chose to become a policeman to save ordinary people, and he has become an agent of the White Eagle Federation government to fight against bioterrorism. He won't turn away because of a well-intentioned reminder.

"Tsk, let me guess, you're here to find the mastermind behind this, right? The mastermind behind this bio-terrorist attack, including the Raccoon City incident six months ago, is pretty much it? Otherwise, what else do you expect to find in this garbage dump?"

Lofan spoke much faster, leaving Leon somewhat overwhelmed, but he grasped the main points. Indeed, the document could identify the mastermind and confirm all the indirect participants in the Raccoon City incident, but how did he know that...?

“Let me think… Oh right, didn’t you and 40 get a video file before?” Luo Fan turned around and said urgently, “It’s the one from the Raccoon City incident, the night of the bank robbery, that 40 got.”

"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. It's a video file that's about two minutes long, involving a transaction. It shows the identification of both parties and the complete conversation. It's practically perfect evidence."

45 quickly echoed, creating the impression that they knew the inside story. However, they did have the confidence to provide this information to Lyon, since the document had been gathering dust on their hard drive and had nowhere to be used until now. This was the perfect opportunity.

Leon instinctively stepped forward, but was once again held in place by M16: "You found it?"

“We found it,” Luo Fan sneered, then gestured with his chin toward RO: “We already knew who did it.”

Following Luo Fan's hint, RO handed over a note. Leon understood and did not open it, but secretly stuffed it into his pocket.

Leon was wearing headphones, and it wasn't convenient for Lofan to tell him everything he knew directly here. Although he had 45 interfere with him beforehand, he was afraid of making a mistake, so Lofan chose a safer approach.

"How long will you stay in the quarantine area?" Luo Fan asked.

“I won’t be leaving for at least a month,” Lyon replied truthfully.

"Okay, remember what I just gave you. Go somewhere where no one is around and look at it again. Remember, you can only be alone. Whether you believe it or not, this is all I can do for you. Take your equipment and get out of here right now, or you'll end up eating a mouthful of dust with those monsters down there."

"How can I be sure I'll get what I need?"

416 pressed the muzzle of his gun against the other man's lower back and said coldly, "You have no choice. Either leave or die."

......

“Alright, no need to be so nervous,” Luo Fan shook his head, then continued, “Remember, seize this opportunity, run out and say that you have discovered a large amount of explosives and will detonate them immediately. Then make sure no one is watching you before opening the thing. Whether you can get what you want depends on your attitude.”

After saying that, Luo Fan waved his left hand lightly, and M16 released Leon, pushing him into the police station corridor.

"Let's go, but be careful. Our enemy is right beside us. All you can do now is trust yourself and me."

"..."

Beneath his hair, Leon gave everyone one last look before leaving without a word. When they followed him, Leon had already disappeared down the corridor.

"Well then, we should head out. This farce has gone on long enough tonight..."

Luo Fan let out a long sigh, then pressed the earpiece again: "Chicheng, how's it outside now?"

"The situation isn't looking good, Commander. Both sides are still receiving reinforcements, and the fighting has spread to the entire city block. It's best to leave here immediately."

Several tiny shadows swept overhead as the carrier-based aircraft continued to observe the area around the police station. No one noticed the surveillance taking place; the battle was so intense that there was no time to spare.

"Understood. We'll withdraw immediately. Tirpitz, await my orders."

"Main gun fully loaded, ready to fire."

The dreamer beside him pulled the trigger again, and Tirpitz's ship rigging appeared beside him, aimed at the vast night sky.

They absolutely must leave something here...

P.S.: My elderly relative came to visit and spent the whole day touching [the items].

593 Evacuation

After seeing Leon off, it was time to retreat with the girls. The group jumped out of the second-floor window on the east side, met up with the support team, and successfully slipped away behind the backs of the USS and the military. In addition to facing each other's powerful firepower, they also had to deal with attacks from the Night Hunters. The situation might not be easy to resolve in the short term, but Luo Fan had a way to end their conflict ahead of time.

"We're at least 200 meters from the police station. Tirpitz, fire!"

"receive."

Tirpitz quietly moved the office chair he was sitting on, then gently patted the girl next to him on the shoulder.

"Step back and maintain a safe distance."

"Oh? It's starting?" The Dreamer, having anticipated this, sneered, "Then let's see just how strong that power, surpassing both architects and destroyers, truly is..."

Tirpitz didn't care, waiting until the Dreamer ran quickly towards the spiral staircase behind him, until ten seconds after he disappeared from sight...

"I'm on the 21st floor now, fire!"

Maintaining a safe distance means you don't have to worry about being hit by the blast wave from the battleship's main guns. Although the power is reduced when it's displayed on a ship girl, it's still a high-intensity impact that shouldn't be underestimated.

With no more worries and the ship's equipment already fully prepared, Tirpitz adjusted his breathing, then raised his right hand and pointed to the building in the distance, where flames were flying everywhere. Above the building, the course of the war suddenly became clear.

Checkmate

boom!

Like a deathbed hallucination, a burst of flame erupted from the upper floors of the building, tracing two clear, bright golden streaks that drew exquisite arcs. Even Apollo's chariot couldn't compare. To the eyes of those in the quarantine zone, long accustomed to darkness, this light seemed to blind them, leaving them no time to even gasp in amazement...

The loud noise once again temporarily robbed them of what little reason they had left...

The explosion landed precisely on a green belt behind the police station, and the shockwave successfully crushed the four-story DPD headquarters. The USS never expected such a change to occur, but the military had already believed Leon's story and was fully prepared for this spectacular explosion.

With the battle imminent, who would notice the shells streaking across the sky, and who would believe that this bombardment came from a colossal vessel from a century ago?

Everyone couldn't help but look back at the explosion, marveling once again at how fortunate it was that these terrifyingly powerful and highly mobile giant cannons were their friends.

"It's really spectacular."

AK12 exclaimed again.

"Yes, I used to think that weapons would be gradually phased out as they were constantly being updated and replaced, but now it seems that they still have ways to be revitalized."

Looking back, AN94 nodded to herself, as if a certain guess had been confirmed, and smiled contentedly.

“Yes, thankfully, these sea monsters are our friends,” 45 nodded, then said disdainfully, “Commander, are you some kind of top male escort? How come even these ships are chasing after you and whispering sweet nothings?”

“Isn’t this a good thing?” the person involved said dismissively, still maintaining a confident smile: “Look, the problem has become much simpler.”

After saying that, he walked in another direction: "Let's go back to Outpost 23. This crazy encore action show should come to an end."

Who would have thought that searching for ammunition would turn into a three-way conflict, and even encounter two protagonists from Resident Evil at the same time? This sudden situation is too exaggerated, and there are too many coincidences, but Luo Fan can't find a reason to convince himself to believe in coincidences.

There must have been someone leaking information to both sides in some way, otherwise a conflict could not have escalated to such a complicated state. The military has no intention of getting entangled in a group of unidentified enemies. Both sides must have come with strong objectives, not to waste their energy on fighting.

They were the same. Now that things were over, Luo Fan just wanted to sit down and rest with the girls, maybe take a shower or something, though of course they weren't able to do the latter.

Following the planned route, Luo Fan and the girls, along with the snipers and observers scattered around, returned to Outpost 23, a safe house provided by the locals. It was located in the attic of a private villa. The entire miniature courtyard had been cleared, and the activity area and rest space were quite spacious, but everyone still chose to squeeze together in the attic. Perhaps their minds and bodies would find comfort in the shortened distance.

"I have reservations. Whether it's the USS or the military, they must have somehow obtained information that could achieve their goals at the police station. And the focus of that information wasn't us. They were clearly unaware of our existence and simply engaged in a hasty firefight with each other."

During the post-operation debriefing, the metrology officer stated his views, which were largely the same as everyone else's. No one wanted to consider this a coincidence; there were too many strange details, yet there was a lack of supporting evidence.

Lofan nodded and added, "That's why I plan to have Tirpitz blow up the police station. In order to end this unnecessary and unreasonable conflict as soon as possible, the conflict between the USS and the military will lead to their deployment becoming more intensive, which will be detrimental to our subsequent operations. At the same time, this also means that neither side has gained any benefit from the conflict except for us..."

In order to solidify the evidence against Umbrella, they were just worried about how to get in touch with the military. That's when they met Chris and Leon. Perhaps they could act as a bridge and try to cooperate with the military to a certain extent while keeping their identities hidden, so that they could become tainted witnesses against Umbrella's series of terrorist activities.

"So, Commander, what are your plans next? Do you have a plan for the next step?"

RO asked tentatively, but received a very straightforward answer from Luo Fan.

"No."

???

The girls were surprised by Luo Fan's decisive answer, but Luo Fan was very sincere and simply said no.

"All we can do now is wait for Lyon to contact us before we can consider our next move."

It's unrealistic to expect to get more useful intelligence from locals. At most, we can provide them with some information about military activities or the distribution of resource points. More crucial details can only be obtained from insiders.

"So you're planning to cooperate with the military?" Helian, having finished bandaging herself, asked in a muffled voice, "Do you trust their capabilities?"

"There's nothing we can do even if you don't believe us. The situation is beyond our control now."

The situation is a hundred times more complicated than imagined, and Lovan's plan is facing bankruptcy due to unforeseen changes. At present, he can only improvise and try to rely on the military to threaten Umbrella.

After all, relying solely on them would indeed be far too difficult...

594 Don't know what to name it

From the moment the girls first arrived until now, through countless days and nights in the quarantine zone, Luo Fan has spent his time with them in this way. Dozens of people are crammed into a small space, which feels intuitively warm and comfortable, without any sense of restraint. Even as the number of people increases, it only makes the surrounding air warmer, rather than making people feel uneasy.
