Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 445

722 Ghost

A few surviving zombies and night demons still roamed the ruins, but they were shot dead as soon as they noticed the girls. These scattered zombies no longer posed any threat to them.

“Looks a bit like an ELID infected,” DP12 kicked the corpse riddled with bullets on the ground, raising an eyebrow slightly, “but much more fragile.”

“They are indeed products of certain viruses,” added the experienced SCAR-L. “BOW, I’ve seen some similar things before, but these are much weaker than what I’ve seen.”

They didn't encounter any strong resistance along the way; the only ones who survived were basically zombies. As for the USS or the military? They were mostly buried under the rubble or withdrew in time. They wouldn't leave many people here. Times have changed; battlefield sweeping is no longer suitable for this era.

【roar】

"Be careful up there!"

General Liu spotted several Night Demons that suddenly appeared on the rubble pile and immediately raised his gun to fire. However, the SCAR-H next to him reacted even faster and fired rapidly at the Night Demons' heads. The combination of high-modification and high-precision fire control made Amaris's control of the weapon invincible, and the Night Demons were quickly killed.

"Wow...that's amazing..."

General Liu sighed subconsciously, while the SCAR-H had already cleanly and efficiently replaced its magazine, whereas he, limited by the nature of a self-loading rifle, could only use a stripper clip to change it...

Perhaps this is a difference in hardware, but they are both humanoids, so how much of a difference can there really be? It's just a matter of practical experience. I'll become as strong as her sooner or later!

"Sir, be careful!" She immediately shielded Luo Fan behind her: "My firepower and reload speed may not be as good as Miss SCAR-H's, but at least I still have a bayonet. I will protect you!"

This resolute attitude was truly both laughable and exasperating, but Luo Fan could hardly feel any emotion anymore and could only try his best to squeeze out a brief response.

"Um......"

The team continued forward until, after about a hundred meters, they heard some intermittent wails, which sounded like they came from an adult male.

DP12 raised his shield and slowly stepped forward. After turning a corner, he saw a soldier in uniform whose lower body was pinned down by rubble in a pile of stones.

"There are survivors here..."

Everyone immediately followed and noticed the soldier from the military. 191 turned around and asked, "Commander, this is the enemy, right? What should we do?"

"Perhaps you hope to obtain some information from him?"

SCAR-L also turned around and offered his own speculation about Luo Fan.

However, Lofan simply walked forward in silence, passing by the girls and coming to the military soldier. Hilde, standing to the side, also watched silently, curious about what Lofan would do at this moment.

"Sir, be careful!"

97 quickly stepped forward, wanting to protect Luo Fan behind her, but Luo Fan only gently stroked her hair.

"Eh?"

Then, Luo Fan walked past 97 and came to the surviving soldier.

Seemingly noticing the newcomer, the poor soldier immediately cried out, "Ugh! Help...help! My leg is trapped...!"

He might still naively believe that he has surviving teammates, but the lack of response to his requests for help made him suspicious. He looked up, and his body instinctively trembled.

Even without seeing the target in person, one can generally make a judgment based on their clothing...

"You...you're not dead...?!"

His disheveled hair obscured Luo Fan's face, but his blood-red eyes never left his. They seemed to materialize all the emotions within the man and project them into his eyes. Anyone who met his gaze would be completely consumed by his rage.

"Sir...?"

95 slowly stepped forward, trying to call out to Luo Fan, but received no response.

He bent down, grabbed the soldier's back, and began to pull hard...

"What...what are you going to do?! No, no, don't pull me...!"

He pulled on the soldier's back with one hand, seemingly without any obvious movement, yet the soldier screamed in agony, causing onlookers to instinctively frown.

"No, no, I was wrong... I was wrong!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

It seemed that the prolonged tug-of-war had yielded no results. Luo Fan raised his foot, stepped on the soldier's back, and then suddenly exerted force...!

【Puff】

"Uh... my God..."

Even the SCAR-H subconsciously looked away, and the SCAR-L immediately mocked, "What's wrong? Is this kind of scene rare for you?"

Luo Fan forcefully tore the soldier's upper body off, along with his spine. This strength was comparable to that of a human. Although it was unknown how he could have such strength, his actions and expression alone were enough to show his anger.

Blood was still flowing from the broken part of his body, but the wound was not enough to kill him on the spot. The soldier was still struggling, trying to break free from the devil's grasp, but Luo Fan had no interest in torturing an unrelated person for a long time. He just wanted to vent his anger.

So he threw the upper body on the ground and stomped on the head until it was crushed...

The sudden exertion aggravated the pain in his abdomen, forcing Luo Fan to bend over. Despite the pain, 95 and General Liu rushed over to help.

"Are you alright, sir?"

"Don't push yourself too hard, your injuries are still quite serious... Even though I know you're furious, please take care of yourself."

......

"Let's keep going..."

After recovering, Luo Fan didn't say much, continuing to move forward in silence, as if all joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness had been swallowed up, revealing no emotion whatsoever, but that lonely figure...

"Ariana, I'm a little curious..."

SCAR-H stepped forward and asked his sister in a deep voice.

"What are you curious about?"

"When you execute the order to activate the dog tag, do you behave the same as the commander?"

"..."

SCAR-L's face immediately turned cold.

He glanced at his sister, then picked up his gun and followed behind Luo Fan.

Seeing that the other party did not want to answer, SCAR-H did not say much and could only follow silently with his teammates.

“You know the answer to this question yourself, Amares, but I don’t recommend that you make too many pointless speculations in inappropriate situations.”

"..."

Is this considered a tacit agreement?

Perhaps so. At least in Ariana, one can see the same silhouette as Lovan. Perhaps Ariana was indeed a legendary doll who returned from the battlefield of World War III, but for her, for Lovan, and for Amares himself...

They were all just ghosts who survived the battlefield...

A ghost, burning with rage, slumbering within a dead heart...

723 Lost and Found

"Active cloud signal detected... just ahead, keep moving."

191 detected the signal immediately and relayed it to everyone, who were overjoyed. They were about to inform Luo Fan when Luo Fan moved forward at an even faster pace...

Ignoring the possibility of danger, Luo Fan knew his girls wouldn't lie to him. Despite his severe injuries, he felt no pain and only wanted to see who else he could find and whether they were still alive.

"Stay alert, Commander."

SCAR-L quickly stepped forward to provide close protection, but soon she relaxed and stood aside.

"AK12...AK15?"

Seeing Luo Fan's reaction, the two members of the rebellious squad, SCAR-L, wouldn't be so clueless as to join in the fun. At this time, no matter how much they had ideas, they should keep them to themselves and talk about them later.

At this time, AK12 had lost its left leg and was moving weakly with the help of AK15's shoulder. When it saw Luo Fan, its whole body subconsciously leaned forward for a moment, but then it also noticed the several new friends following Luo Fan.

"Haha, it seems the commander is safer than we thought..."

She forced a smile, trying her best to look less disheveled, but how could that fool Luo Fan in his current state?

“AK12…” Luo Fan slowly walked forward, his eyes filled with melancholy and self-blame. He had imagined that the road ahead would not be easy, but how could he have imagined that it would turn out like this?

Because of a single wrong decision, everything was lost, and the girls were seriously injured, yet there was no blame or regret...

"I'm so sorry..."

Gently stroking AK12's face, her eyes trembled uncontrollably, she had never felt such a strong sense of powerlessness before, yet she gently grasped Luo Fan's hand and smiled: "Commander, AK15 is still here, as are 95 and the others. Aren't you afraid they'll be jealous of you like this?"

It was a little joke meant to lighten the mood, but AK15, who was inexplicably caught in the crossfire, merely raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze away.

"There won't be a next time..."

There was no response. Luo Fan muttered to himself, making his final promise to them. This was the most powerful guarantee he could offer as the girls' commander, one that was commensurate with his responsibilities and obligations.

“I believe you,” AK12 said with a faint smile, her violet eyes, though dulled by injury, still shone brightly through the filter of her emotions: “There won’t be a next time…”

This is a two-way commitment, with the planner and the executor fulfilling it from their respective perspectives. Beneath the sweet and touching promise lies the growth of malice and the abandonment of moral boundaries.

There will be no next time, which means they will not leave any room for a next occurrence. From now on, they will solve problems in a more extreme way.

"Then, let's continue..."

They are still a long way from finding everyone...

“Sir, stay in the back with the wounded,” 95 stepped forward and whispered, “The vigilance mission remains our responsibility.”

"Um......"

AK15 continued to support AK12, while Luo Fan stayed at the rear of the group. The exploration continued, but the cloud map's active signals gradually increased, which was a good sign, indicating that the girls were beginning to resume their activities.

However, the ship girls are still missing. Since they are not mechanical and are not connected to the cloud map, it is impossible for everyone to know their location in time.

But that doesn't mean the ship girls aren't capable of finding Lovan...

【boom】

The collapse of the building beside them made a loud bang, accompanied by a lot of smoke and debris, which startled 97 who was moving forward.

"Wow! What's going on?"

"Watch out..." DP12 pulled him behind her for protection: "It might be something big..."

Perhaps it was some big guy who hadn't died in the air raid. Everyone was on high alert, pointing their guns at the ruins. However, when the smoke and dust cleared, what emerged was a disheveled black-haired girl with exquisite curves, but her eyes were as red as blood in her arteries. She was even choking the corpse of a military soldier, whose neck was severely deformed from being choked.

Noticing the crowd in front of her, she raised her eyes and said fiercely, "Commander...where is the Commander...?"

Who is this...?

DP12 turned around and asked, but no one had any recollection of it. How could this girl know the Commander?

But only when Luo Fan managed to squeeze out a weak cry from his throat was the answer revealed...

"Taihou..."

"...?!"

As if summoned by some force, the girl stiffly turned her gaze and focused on the place where the man was.

The unease, shock, rage, and grievances were released in an instant. She felt a sudden sting in her eyes, dropped the corpse in her hands, and rushed into Luo Fan's arms, causing Luo Fan's ribs to ache again.

It doesn't matter. Compared to being able to see her again, this moment of pain is nothing...

"Commander... Commander...!"

Tears streamed down her face. Completely different from her ferocious and malevolent appearance just moments before, Da Feng at this moment was merely a young girl who had experienced loss and regain. All Luo Fan could see was her at this moment.

Neither he nor they had time to find out what Taihou, Akagi, Kaga, and the others had done in those ruins...

......

"There's one more here..."

Amidst the ruins, Kaga discovered another military soldier who was still alive. He grabbed him from the ground and interrogated him with his eyes, but the information provided by the military meant that the soldier knew nothing about the woman in front of him, and naturally could not understand what her eyes were yearning for.

"Oh, there's one more... So, do you know where our commander is?"

Akagi, who had been rummaging around nearby, walked over slowly after hearing this. Even though she already knew that the other party probably wouldn't have an answer, and her sister was choking her, not giving her a chance to speak, she still asked with such a wicked sense of humor.

"It seems they don't know..."

【Puff】

Having said that, Kaga raised his fist and slammed it into the soldier's fragile body. The vast and powerful force of the aircraft carrier concentrated on one point and tilted towards the flesh, instantly turning a whole living person into bloody foam.

Blood was splattered on his body, but Kaga ignored it, continuing to look to the side, searching for possible clues.

Some time after the air raids began, the two of them broke away from the group and began trying to find Luo Fan, but they couldn't get any clues or have any chance. This fervent emotion and extreme fear and anxiety tormented Chi Cheng, making her heart ache and feel like she was going crazy!

Kaga, however, suppressed all his lust for killing, his emotions barely registering his worry for his beloved... Only by finding him could he quench his thirst and hunger...
