Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 272

The bag was full of various snacks and instant foods. If they were careful with their portions, it could feed quite a few people for a while, not to mention that the amount they could take with them was indeed limited.

"So, that's it? You guys managed to do it all by yourselves?" It feels like we came all this way for nothing...

Yustov patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, we're always risking our lives every time we come in. Nobody knows what might happen in there. Sorry."

Then, carrying the bags, they walked outside the store.

"Sigh, whatever, consider it the initial investment for buying information..."

Luo Fan could only shake his head, hoping that the intelligence would be worthwhile and that they wouldn't have made a wasted trip late at night.

……

"Well, that's enough for now. We've done the zero-yuan shopping, it's time to go back."

After the five people returned to the store entrance, Luo Fan counted the number of people and then prepared to leave.

No one objected. Everyone had achieved their goal and there was no reason to stay any longer. Although they couldn't refuse the hosts' hospitality, they still had to leave on time.

Should we go back the way we came?

"Yes, there's a ladder there."

Okay, now we have to turn back...

After turning a corner, Luo Fan's raised foot twisted back as if he had osteoporosis, and he used both hands to block the hunter and Alpha beside him.

"Go back, go back! Night Demon!"

The meaning conveyed by those lip movements is quite clear; all that's missing is a contorted facial expression...

There are people who don't want them to leave...

A demon suddenly appeared on their way back, forcing them to temporarily hide in a nearby shop.

A fast food restaurant with many tables set up against the wall, making it a perfect hiding place.

Before long, the area under the table, which was in a blind spot, was almost full of people. It shouldn't be long before they could get through this safely. Luo Fan was also quite certain that they hadn't caused any unnecessary disturbance during the process.

"Thump...thump thump..."

Did I mishear?

Alpha, who was at the same table as Lofan, pointed to the top of his head.

......

Okay, it seems I heard correctly.

"Thump, thump..."

There was something in the ventilation duct, and coincidentally, that's when the noise started.

The heavy breathing was already close by, and even the Night Demon noticed the unusual sound.

Luo Fan rediscovered the feeling he had when he was hiding from the Nightmare Domain in the hospital. Sure enough, this journey couldn't be so smooth all the way.

The Night Demon's influence is more aggressive than the Nightmare's. While wandering around the store, it sniffs around like a real canine, its torn jaw always dripping dark red blood, and occasionally its tongue can be seen sticking out like a worm.

The difference between a Nightmare and a Nightmare is that a Nightmare can see, but it seems it never even considers looking under the table...

"Crumble..."

A few minutes later, the sound finally disappeared without a trace. The night demon growled twice and then left.

Only after the breathing sounds completely ceased did everyone crawl out from under the table.

"There are rats up there, damn it?"

Yustov cracked his neck and spat viciously.

Luo Fan looked up at the source of the voice, his expression unfriendly.

Was that really a rat?

"Creak, creak..." The entire ventilation duct began to shake, and several screws even popped out.

That's a worthless rat! It even broke the screws!

Luo Fan immediately retreated, and what happened next was something no one had expected.

The entire ventilation duct collapsed in an instant, accompanied by a loud bang, leaving everyone stunned.

"Ugh, damn it, why is this thing so brittle... ugh..."

A person, completely covered up, crawled out of the pipe. He was complaining, but was startled by the sight before him.

Not only him, but two more people dressed similarly climbed out of the pipe, and they were also surprised by the presence of Luo Fan and the others.

Who the hell are these people?

"Uh, hello...? Hello, Klose?!"

"Damn it, Alfred's men, open fire!"

Both sides recognized each other at the same time, with Klose and Yustov reacting more obviously, directly signaling to Lovan to kill the other immediately.

It seems like these two enemies have run into each other in a misunderstanding. However, Luo Fan had the same idea. With the pipe collapsing, no one can live in peace. Even if they don't kill him, there will definitely be trouble.

In an instant, roars erupted everywhere, and the sounds of impact and the howls of these bloodthirsty monsters echoed throughout the mall.

"Tsk, I should have listened to Tokarev and stayed in Ross!"

Yustov kicked the food delivery cart next to him, enraged by the terrible situation.

Before the three could explain further, Luo Fan and the girls shot them through the throats. What was originally a simple theft had turned into a robbery. There couldn't be better.

"Okay, we need to figure out how to get back. We can't possibly go through the ventilation ducts again, can we?"

The phrase "furious yet laughing" perfectly describes Luo Fan's expression.

"Of course, if you don't want to fall halfway down the mountain."

With this pipe bursting, the entire structure is likely affected, so going back is definitely not feasible.

"Run! Don't just stand there! Hurry up!"

The hunter drew his pistol and rushed out of the fast food restaurant. At this point, remaining silent was pointless; it was better to run faster...

392 Night Run

"I feel like I've spent my whole life either running or chasing, it's amazing."

"Commander, life is about movement."

JS9 gave Luo Fan a thumbs up.

Ah, indeed, life lies in movement, and the saying that they will die if they run too slowly is truly fitting.

Everyone quickly moved towards the stairs, firing at the zombies around them as they went.

Most of the zombies here are fast runners and more durable, and the limited space makes getting rid of them extremely difficult.

"Let's go downstairs back to the server room!"

Klose shouted, and punched a zombie in the face.

But that's not enough; there's a whole horde following behind!

The hunter took a spherical object from her pocket, and after everyone had run in front of her, she threw the object at the bottom of the floor above.

Another explosion rang out, instantly drowning out all the screams. The upper blast point began to collapse, burying a large number of pursuing zombies and blocking part of the passageway.

The five locals didn't have time to wonder where the girls got all that equipment; their immediate priority was to get out of there.

The entire mall was bustling with activity, as if it were the start of Black Friday sales.

"Snipers, the plan has changed. We've been exposed. Provide cover for us, and once the situation improves, we'll return directly to the safe zone."

"Roger that, Commander. Please be careful."

Their indifferent voices always made me feel reassured.

"Watch out ahead!"

A tall zombie with a piece of reinforced concrete embedded in the skin of its right hand appeared in front of them.

He swung steel bars like hammers at the crowd, accompanied by a roar like a bear. Even if he missed, the dust and debris he kicked up caused considerable pain.

They slid past the hammer in time, while AA12 fired and ran directly at the zombie.

In the darkness, only the muzzle of the AA12 was spitting fire; everyone else was equipped with silencers. But then, a second beam of light tore through the darkness.

Klose and Weiss activated two ultraviolet flares and threw them out, creating an impenetrable barrier with remarkable effect.

The zombies were writhing in agony on the ground from the ultraviolet radiation. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the group quickly moved down the stairs to the lower level.

"Damn it, the server rooms are locked down, we're doomed!"

Kyle kicked the door, which had been boarded up and nailed shut, but there was no response.

Mondragon quickly stepped forward and pulled him aside, gesturing in a low voice, "Get out of the way."

Despite not understanding why, Kyle wisely stepped aside.

Mondragon slung his gun over his back, crouched down, and then, in an instant, charged out at a speed that defied comprehension!

"Holy crap, this..."

"Used to it."

They were still marveling, but Lovan had long since become accustomed to it.

They only saw the girl place her left elbow in front of her chest, then charge forward, and then, a gap appeared in the wall...

Not only the door, but also the wall around the doorway has been damaged to varying degrees.

"Don't just stand there, let's go."

After breaking down the door, Mondragon climbed over the gap using the rubble and used the steel cable to return to the safe house on the other side.

"Commander, that monster you mentioned, the Nightmare, is charging towards us!"

Alpha, which was retreating to cover the withdrawal, suddenly shouted.

Just before he was about to grab the steel cable, Luo Fan immediately turned back.

"You go up first."

He crouched down beside the gap and shouted down, "Throw flashbangs at him, then ignore him!"

They have now mastered how to deal with the Nightmare Domain. Apart from its thick skin, it is not difficult to deal with. They can simply bypass it by using a flashbang to block its senses.

In the blink of an eye, the hunter threw the flashbang that NTW had given her toward Nightmare.

"Klose, and you guys, cover your ears!"

Luo Fan reminded him in time, but it was still a bit too late.

"what?"

"boom!"

"Fuck me!"

Despite being some distance away, Klose and Novovich, who had already reached the steel cable, were still shocked by the loud noise.

"What the hell were you doing just now?!"

"I told you to cover your ears! Don't worry about it now, it'll be fine in a minute. Hurry up and crawl over there, we're still waiting!"

Although the sound of the flashbangs being thrown did make them uncomfortable for a moment, everyone would be uncomfortable if they didn't throw them.

The effect was remarkable. As expected, the Nightmare was frozen in place, covering its ears with its hands and roaring wildly, waving its hands to vent its pain, occasionally knocking away or smashing the zombies and Night Demons around it against the wall.

"Okay, this blocking effect is much stronger than a gun..."

The hunter couldn't help but sigh, then quickly climbed up the gap and reached the location of the steel cable.

As soon as she climbed over the gap, Luo Fan threw her an ultraviolet flare.

"Open it and throw it into the gap."

"it is good."

As Korensky described, removing the seal would cause the flare to ignite, which, when thrown into the gap, would temporarily prevent the Night Demon and other zombies from climbing up.

Just as he was about to grab the steel cable, Barrett's voice came through the earpiece again.
