Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 244

As they got closer to the gate, the girls stuck closer to Luo Fan and Ying Que, shielding them with their bodies to prevent anyone from causing trouble along the way.

However, nothing unexpected happened, and they got out safely.

PS: Play...

At 3:30 a.m., there were hardly any pedestrians on the street, but a commercial vehicle was parked on the side of the road, and a familiar pink-haired woman was leaning against the door, smiling at Luo Fan.

"Hello, Mr. Luo."

P.S.: Background music will continue in the next chapter; no need to pause.

340 Reencounter with Se-na

The girls would naturally be wary of a complete stranger, but Luo Fan walked up to him without any hesitation.

"It's one of our own."

he whispered.

"???"

Commander, have you formed a friendly cooperative relationship with some stranger this time?

However, the other party did not show any hostility; they simply greeted Luo Fan.

The man put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked toward the van where the woman was.

"Sena, has the situation changed?"

The two seemed to have known each other for a long time, but when exactly?

No one could understand when the two began to have such a natural and effortless conversation.

The only information they knew about this woman was "Sena," which the commander had just mentioned.

She smiled and said, "Well, indeed, I didn't expect them to react so quickly. They delivered it to you tonight, so at least the problem is solved. Come on, get in the car, I'll take you home."

"and many more."

AK15 moved closer, its eyes filled with coldness and hostility.

"Sir, who is she?"

She adapted relatively quickly and didn't say the word "finger" like the others.

Others were equally curious about this.

Who is she?

......

"One of our own, who considers himself one of our own."

After a moment's consideration, Luo Fan gave a relatively ambiguous answer.

Even he himself couldn't be sure of the other party's purpose. The current situation seemed to be related to her, but upon reflection, he couldn't find any connection.

It seemed like the cops had just entered the mall and kicked them out. If it had been a normal police report, they should have all been taken away, but that wasn't the case. It seemed that Shina had been prepared all along and was waiting for them here.

Luo Fan's answer seemed to disappoint Shi Na, who pouted, "Yee~ I thought we were pretty close, but you still don't believe me..."

Well, Luo Fan could easily report Shi Na for trespassing, since he did have a camera in his room.

However, considering that the way she found herself was indeed a bit... and Ying Que was right beside her at the time, I thought about it and decided against it.

"Getting along takes time, didn't you say that yourself?"

He shrugged naturally, as if it had nothing to do with him, and opened the passenger door and got in.

"Get in the car, everyone, don't be too wary of her."

Luo Fan tried again to dispel the girls' wariness with words, and with their already familiar interactions, everyone got into the brand-new van and left the place.

Although there was very little traffic, with only one car passing by every ten seconds or so, Shina still drove very slowly, seemingly not in a hurry to get them back.

Perhaps she deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to say something...

Luo Fan asked, "How did you manage to get us out of that place?"

This is indeed a concern for everyone. The work was supposed to last for a week, but it ended on the second day when it was only halfway through.

Everyone understood what Luo Fan was asking, except for Ying Que, who was completely clueless.

She felt that Luo Fan was becoming more and more mysterious, as if there were many things she didn't know...

......

"It wasn't me who did it. It's just that your people did the job well, so you were able to get out. I met with them, we said hello to each other, and then I left."

Shina completely distanced herself from the situation, and Luo Fan, who was not involved in the AR team's mission, was naturally unaware of it.

According to Shina's description, it seems that the AR team deserves more credit.

but......

Luo Fan opened the glove compartment and found a piece of paper and a pen inside. He wrote something on it...

About five seconds later, he handed the paper to Shina.

The other party took it, looked at the words on it, and suddenly turned his head to look at Yingque.

Yingque's eyes were filled with doubt and tension, which contrasted sharply with the two members of the Rebellious Squad and 404.

She seemed to understand what Luo Fan meant...

She glanced at the contents of the paper again, smiled, and returned it.

The note read: "Don't mention my 'part-time job' in front of her."

Clearly, Yingque knew nothing about these so-called "your people".

However, Luo Fan seems to be hiding many secrets, but considering that he also came from another time and we haven't seen each other for so long, it's probably normal.

Maybe...

......

Upon arriving at the bar, Luo Fan told the girls and Ying Que to go back first, while he remained in the car and did not leave immediately.

After the girls went inside, they made a point of letting Ying Que go back to rest first, while they sat in front of the bar, waiting for Luo Fan.

......

"Your girls value you a lot, but one of them seems to know nothing about you."

She always wore that calm and composed smile, and remained unmoved even when stared at by the pack of women at the door.

The rebellious squad's eyes were so cold, carrying a faint killing intent, all of which Shina saw, but she didn't seem to take it seriously.

Luo Fan replied, "Of course, you don't know my relationship with them. Just one person's 'valuing' isn't enough to explain all this, and as for the one who knows nothing... there's no need for her to know. Just let things stay as they are."

He leaned back in his chair, watching the snowflakes drift past the window, sometimes striking the car window and leaving a mark before fading away and disappearing, seemingly hinting at something.

Shina laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that one day you'll mess things up and won't be able to fix them?"

"...I don't think we're close enough for you to worry about these things, are we?"

Luo Fan began to feel unhappy.

"Oh well, whatever, whatever. But we'll get to know each other eventually, it's just a matter of time."

"......What's the meaning?"

"Guess~"

Luo Fan really wanted to punch that delicate face that kept smiling; she would probably cry for a long time that way.

Seemingly anticipating Luo Fan's thoughts, Shi Na seized the opportunity to grasp Luo Fan's hand and placed it against her own face...

"You'll understand that I, and the friend I mentioned before, will absolutely be there for you on your journey forward. Time will tell you what we can do to help you..."

"..."

Luo Fan had a chance to pull his hand away, but for some reason, he couldn't do it now, even though he wanted to.

"Now, go back and get some rest. I'll probably be back at this bar in the next couple of days. Remember to have some good drinks and an empty room ready. Goodbye~"

When Luo Fan came to his senses, he was already back on the sidewalk, watching the silver minivan drive off towards the horizon.

......

341 went home.

"Commander, what did that woman say to you?"

Only after seeing Luo Fan return safely did the girls put their pistols back into their holsters.

But Luo Fan's expression looked a little strange. After Shi Na drove away, he stood alone by the roadside for several minutes before turning back to the front of the bar.

He was only troubled because, like Rosalia when they first met, Rosalia liked to tell riddles, but the meaning behind them was similar: she had come to "offer help."

But Luo Fan believed that he had done a good job of keeping his secrets and that no one should know his purpose. Moreover, he did not need any external help at the moment. So why did they all think that they could help him and that he definitely needed them?

Information gathering is his advantage as a hacker, but in the face of these two unfamiliar women, his advantage seems to have vanished.

But they never mentioned their own goals or what they wanted to do.

It seems that the two sides have slightly different perspectives...

"commander?"

AK12 asked again.

The man trembled slightly, cleared his throat, and then opened the locked wooden door.

"Sorry, lost my mind."

"What exactly did she say to you? You don't seem to be in the right frame of mind."

They were certainly worried about Luo Fan's condition, but there was nothing they could do; it was beyond their control.

"There were probably too many things that happened last night, and I'm a bit overwhelmed. I'm tired, and I just need to get some rest."

Back in the bar, apart from a small light still on at the bar counter, the rest of the area was shrouded in darkness. However, Luo Fan had already gotten used to the darkness in the mall and didn't find it strange. In addition, with the heating always on, Luo Fan felt much more at ease here.

Besides the gloom in his heart making him feel irritable...

He said in a low voice, "As for what she said, it was nothing more than what she said before getting on the bus, trying to show us goodwill. As for whether her sincerity is enough, we still need to observe for a while."

AK12 wanted to ask more questions, but RPK stopped him.

Her complexion was also not good, but she was better at reading people's expressions than AK12.

Perhaps now is not the time to ask too many questions; some things should be left to the commander to decide.

AK12 understood what she meant, but was still angry because she couldn't help.

"correct."

Luo Fan stopped in front of the bar and turned around.

"Don't tell anyone the details of these past two days. Just pretend we worked two normal night shifts."

After pouring six glasses of orange juice, Lovan handed them to AN94 on a tray, then took two glasses of heated milk and went upstairs.

"Get some rest, everyone. We're getting ready to 'go back to work' now. Just think of it as taking a couple of trips to a haunted house."

......

"What dedicated staff! They almost ran faster than me."

After Luo Fan left, the two members of the Rebellious Squad and 404 sat at the bar and chatted casually.

The mere thought of the mechanical skeletons in the underground facility sent chills down 45’s spine.

Given its physique and build, 45 couldn't understand how this thing could run so fast...

"On the bright side, at least we're all safe and sound. We even had the good fortune to witness something that most people might never see in their lifetime. If it's uploaded online, it'll just become an urban legend."

Sure enough, RPK can crack jokes no matter the atmosphere.

AN94 took a sip of orange juice and then propped her face up with her hand: "Didn't the Commander tell us not to say anything? This experience might be forever stored in the Cloud Atlas."

Her tone also carried a hint of regret.

After all, who wouldn't want to share a unique experience with others?

"If we had a handgun, things might not be so complicated."
