Are you kidding me? How could it be me? Would he dare to cover WA-chan's mouth?
Unless you cover it with your mouth...
Luo Fan winked at RPK16 to show his gratitude, then went back to the call.
"Commander, are you... not available to make a call right now?"
M4 kept hearing intermittent noises and someone cursing, which made her wonder if she was disturbing someone's rest.
Perhaps, in a certain sense, it is indeed...
"Oh, no, no, please continue."
Looking at WA-chan, who was enveloped by RPK16's magnanimous embrace, Luo Fan said somewhat awkwardly.
“Okay... In short, once you enter the city, abandon your car and walk. Tell us which neighborhood you are in, and we will use drones to scout out the surrounding area and plan a relatively safe route for you. If needed, we can come to your aid immediately.”
M4 glanced back at AR15 and RO, who were marking the map, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness.
The more critical the moment, the less room there is for accidents to happen...
"Thank you for your help. We've started to approach the city center. Keep in touch."
"Stay connected."
......
"AK12, how far are we from the city?"
"About one kilometer."
"After entering the city, everyone immediately abandoned the car and we walked back."
Luo Fan picked up the HK416 and silently turned off the safety.
It goes without saying...
"Click, click, click..."
They understood what they had to do...
......
"AR15, prepare the map. The rest of you, launch a few drones to assist the commander in returning to headquarters."
With Lofan absent, M4 temporarily took over the role of commander, issuing orders swiftly and effectively.
In this dark concrete jungle, they will become the commander's eyes.
"Mission objective: Bring the commander home..."
AR15 entered the living room carrying a roll of map and laid it out on the table. Squad 404, including Victor, took a drone and its remote control to the balcony to prepare for takeoff.
The map was covered with markings, all of which were areas cleared by the AR team, the executioner, and the alchemist. These included various feasible routes and ideas, and even areas that had not been cleared were marked with red boxes.
Within just five minutes, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the efficiency of AR15 and RO.
But before anyone could praise it, AR15 took the lead in analyzing the map.
"Raccoon City is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The Altorand factory that the commander is heading to is located in the northern suburbs of Raccoon City. If they return by the same route, they will enter the city from the Lawrence neighborhood, which is, of course, under ideal circumstances."
She pointed to the only entrance between the city center and the northern suburbs, the Lawrence neighborhood.
"This place doesn't seem to have been cleaned by us..."
The dog scratched its head.
"We've cleaned it up."
A magnetic voice came from behind me.
The girls turned around and saw the executioner and the alchemist drinking.
Pascal and Mrs. Grey made way for them and went to the balcony, where the two of them drank.
The executioner was already slumped on the table. The alchemist took a big gulp of rum and then said, "We, uh... we had already looked at the map and knew the commander was going to the Altoran factory, so we cleaned that area up beforehand. But like bacteria, once you eliminate them, they'll always multiply, though it'll definitely be much cleaner than before... Speaking of which, we killed more than a dozen of those so-called tyrants, hahaha, Griffin's little devils..."
Perhaps it was true, as she said, that they had killed too many zombies and were exhausted. Coupled with the effects of alcohol, the alchemist chuckled a few times before closing her eyes heavily.
The bottle slipped from her hand, spilling the wine onto the ground.
The crowd watched the two who seemed to be fast asleep in silence. They were not disgusted by their "noisy" behavior, but instead felt only sincere respect and approval.
They also subconsciously lowered their voices...
At least this time, Ironblood Manufacturing was indeed far superior to Griffin's...
154 "Are you cold?"
"Squad 404, have one drone follow the commander above for reconnaissance. The other drones will continue to reconnoiter within a 225-meter radius of the following drone to ensure the surrounding situation and transmit the images to us. We will plan the routes."
"Squad 404 received. The drone has taken off and is ready to begin the mission at any time."
"Stay connected."
"Stay connected."
M4 took off her headphones and refocused her gaze on the map. In her mind, she began to envision all possible scenarios and the necessary action plans to deal with them.
She absolutely would not allow any accidents to happen...
Now, everyone is ready, the lighthouse is lit, the navigation beacon is in place, only the arrival of that lonely ship sailing through the night on the vast, desolate sea is awaited...
......
The sound of an engine shutting off could be heard at an intersection.
After observing the situation from inside the van for a while, the group slowly got out.
They now have to enter this city under constant surveillance and then return to their homes. How can they possibly relax?
After getting out of the car, Luo Fan confirmed that there was nothing suspicious around him and then began making contact.
"M4, we've reached the vicinity of Lawrence Street. How do we identify which drones are friendly?"
He was paranoid, worried that Umbrella or military drones might be present, but he was completely unaware of this and even allowed them to follow him to his home before he realized what was happening.
"The code is that the drone flies in a 'three on the left, two on the right' pattern. When you see this flight pattern, you can confirm that it is a friendly drone."
"Three to the left, two to the right... Got it. Should we stay put and wait for the drone to arrive, or should we move into the city first?"
"Wait here while we conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding area. Entering rashly is too risky."
"receive."
Luo Fan hung up the call and continued his nap in the van.
"We need to wait until their drones arrive and conduct reconnaissance for us before we begin our operation."
He said slowly.
P.S.: For a better reading experience, we recommend playing "Memory" by Zoey/Nightingale Records below (this music will be used again during our upcoming beach vacation, so please be sure to save it).
After receiving further instructions, the girls relaxed a bit and each found a suitable spot to do some simple rest.
AK12 twisted open a bottle of mineral water and drank it.
But she unconsciously glanced at Luo Fan, who was resting by the car...
......
"commander?"
Luo Fan opened his eyes. AK12 had appeared beside him at some point and was handing him a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you."
Without hesitation, he took the water and began to gulp it down.
It wasn't because I was particularly thirsty; I just wanted to use it to keep myself awake.
The weather was already very cold, and although the snow had temporarily stopped, the icy mineral water still caused Luo Fan, a human, pain when it entered his mouth.
The slightly rough handling caused a few drops of water to drip onto my neck, making it feel like being pricked by needles.
So, just a few seconds after the water entered his mouth, Luo Fan's teeth began to chatter.
"Squeak~"
And it even made a little noise by accident...
Luo Fan froze instantly. When he looked to his side, AK12 was also looking at him, seemingly noticing the sound that was not very noticeable in the cold wind.
This made Luo Fan feel somewhat embarrassed; it was incredibly awkward to have his teeth chattering and making a grinding sound when drinking water that had gotten so cold in his mouth...
He looked away, slightly bewildered, as if nothing had happened.
But AK12 next to him wrapped his arms around his neck...
Are you cold?
She asked with a smile, like the warmest flame in a cold night.
"Perhaps...."
He was embarrassed to admit his weakness at that moment; he didn't want to always be the one being taken care of by the girls.
Even in the bleak and cold wind, he wanted to leave them with an image of perseverance and tenacity.
But his body betrayed him...
"Then let me help you warm up?"
She brought her face closer...
Luo Fan felt a burst of heat on his face.
"Wha... Ugh!"
She's right, it is indeed for warmth...
She kissed his lips, sealing off any gaps through which the cold wind could slip in.
Her nimble pink tongue filled his teeth, which had been clashing, and brought warmth into his body.
In his heart...
Her movements went from wrapping her arms around his neck to embracing him; she wanted to give him all the warmth of her body.
They both thought so...
The cold weakens a person's psychological defenses; it slowly hardens the protective shell around you, and then shatters it at some point.
However, this protection is indiscriminate, meaning that you may ruthlessly reject anything that is beneficial or harmful to you.
Perhaps that's why we resist walking alone in the cold, lonely night...
We want to protect ourselves, and the cold weakens our psychological defenses. Since the cold can be avoided, why bother deliberately going out into the cold wind?
He had no choice but to go, and she resolutely followed.
He was indeed weakened by the cold, and she was giving him all her warmth and strength.
The hands, which were originally tucked together, lost their strength due to this sudden "attack" and lay paralyzed at the sides of the body.
But her hands embraced his face, which was exposed to the air, just as she wanted to give him everything...
Although she had countless feelings of love she wanted to shower upon her, this did not mean that AK12 was someone who didn't know how to read the room.
We should only scratch the surface; we shouldn't expose too much of our inner selves in cold places.
What a tender kiss...
So gentle that he was stunned, so gentle that his whole body went numb, thinking he was about to freeze to death in this icy wasteland.
He was becoming less and less aware of his body, but she held him tightly, not giving him a chance to collapse.
"Is it still cold now?"
She smiled gently.
Even though it required extra computational resources, she still opened her eyes in the cold night.
The silver wolf's eyes emitted a purple glow before him.
The moon was bright and the stars were few; the whole world was covered in silver, and the faint light in her eyes was the most beautiful embellishment.
So beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful...
