"I'd like to too! The problem is, with your firepower, would you even be able to help?"
The bored dreamer once again considered getting involved, but was rejected by Luo Fan again. The reason was simple: the firepower was too strong and would easily attract the attention of the military. If it were a normal sniper rifle, it would be fine, but if it were a particle cannon... even at low power, its power would be enough to easily penetrate an armored vehicle.
"Tsk..." The girl in the office clicked her tongue impatiently: "Perhaps she's the only one who can help you now."
"Who?" The monster swept past him again, and Luo Fan's tone became somewhat hurried.
"I've already contacted her, and she's on her way."
......
"Your mobility is really outdated now. If you could use that equipment here, the commander would probably be praising you loudly right now, wouldn't he?"
Adeline, a hundred meters away, was still running around, listening to Metis ramble on for more than half an hour.
For a girl who prefers tranquility, this was truly a disastrous experience...
"Don't you look forward to the feeling of high-precision sniping in the air? It will also give you firepower comparable to a squad, and it will be at your command the whole time. The difficulties that snipers face will be completely solved, giving you a brand new image. The commander will definitely like you very much."
"Let's leave these things for later, Sister Metis... I don't think it's necessary right now..."
If it were the old Paradis, she might have listened patiently to a character of the "older sister" level, since... older sisters rarely speak so much at once in order to maintain their authority.
But this Sister Metis is just too eloquent, and coupled with the Commander's personal denial of any unreasonable class divisions within Paradis, and her long-term interaction with everyone... it's no wonder she has some rebellious tendencies...
"Your older sister is thinking about your future. The other sisters may not always be with the Commander, but they still have their own lives. They work for Paradis, for their jobs, and for themselves. They at least understand the meaning behind their names. But you, Adeline..."
Do you know what you live for?
"commander."
In the past, we might have been able to judge the truthfulness of a person's answer by their tone of voice, but this didn't work on Adeline. Her answer was so unhesitating that it was impossible to know whether it was her true intention.
But on the same machine, on the same cloud map...
Metis gently stroked the girl's long hair. In the imaginary space constructed by the cloud map, her skirt and black hair swayed together with the wind of the real world.
Do you really think so?
"of course."
Metis knew perfectly well what was true and what was false, but she just loved teasing her sister, whose mind had only one closed circuit.
If she could have any other thoughts, then she wouldn't be called Adeline...
"Then go! Make a good impression on the commander and let him know who rescued him from this predicament!"
The speed at which she ran was completely at odds with her elegant attire; her unique black silhouette once again swept through the streets and alleys.
"Firing parameters have been corrected, Adeline, watch your head."
"I've seen it all..."
She drew her pistol and rifle from her waist. Metis adjusted the target parameters for the nearby targets, and all she had to do was pull the trigger. Even though these were tasks she could do on her own, it was naturally more enjoyable to have an older sister like her working with her.
Soon, all the nearby zombies were dealt with, and Adeline was about to reach Lovan's location. She could already hear the monster's roar very clearly; it was not far away...
"Combat officer, maintain short bursts of fire. 9 and I will cover the enemy as they move."
"Roger that, architect, come over here right away!"
"Coming right now, just wait!"
This is a good opportunity to get close to Chris and show his sincerity, and Lovan plans to seize it while things are in chaos!
The surveyor and architect launched a flank attack, diverting the zombies' attention, while Luo Fan used the wrecked car as cover from the front, quickly maneuvering to avoid the first line of fire.
Beside Chris were the familiar Pierce, and an unfamiliar black male soldier, whose uniform was slightly different from Chris's.
Before he could even choose his words carefully, Luo Fan shouted, "Chris, can you please tell your men to stop making things worse?!"
"The risks stemming from a lack of intelligence... Come to think of it, where did you get your information about these monsters from?!"
"We've killed more zombies than you've eaten hamburgers! Enough said, that monster's coming back any minute!"
The four were about to leave together when Pierce, who was at the front of the group, suddenly turned around, his eyes wide open: "Watch out!"
? !
Before they could react, a shockwave came from behind them. They felt their legs go weak and the four men, who were not to be underestimated despite being human, were knocked to the ground. But the pursuit was not over. Taking advantage of the moment of imbalance, the monster roared again and charged at them.
not good!
Luo Fan immediately pulled out a flare from his side, preparing to light it, but then...
"roll!"
AA12 appeared out of nowhere, but when Luo Fan noticed her, the petite girl leaped high into the air and kicked the zombie's face with both feet.
With a soft, dizzying thud, accompanied by a painful scream, the monster was sent flying.
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
Never imagining that the monster could be so severely injured in this way, Luo Fan quickly stepped forward, preparing to pull AA12 up, but the other party simply adjusted the knitted hat on its head...
"Uh, I think my voice was a bit too loud..."
"It's okay, that kick was so cool!"
......
"Chris, you should be more careful with these people, they're too professional."
The Black man whispered to Chris, expressing his wariness of these uninvited "friendly forces," but at this point, Chris had no reason not to trust his new teammates.
"There's no need for that. You know, without them, we really wouldn't have been able to get things going so smoothly."
After adjusting his weapon, Chris chuckled twice: "Dominic, I consider myself better at judging people than you are."
"That would be for the best..."
[Tsk]
670 Helian PART.8
"Target successfully eliminated."
In the dim alleyway, Adeline turned her weapon around and aimed at Chris's head...
"Huh? Adeline? You killed that thing? Well done, the support was just in time."
Her right eye instinctively moved away from the scope, and in the cloud map's field of view, Metis was looking at her with excitement. Adeline knew exactly what she was trying to say...
Quick, let's take credit from him!
"Yes, yes... that's right."
"Thank you in advance. We can talk later. We need to keep moving forward. See you there."
"Okay, sure..."
After hanging up and confirming several times that Chris would not pose any threat to Lovan, Adeline secretly slipped away from the alleyway and returned to her way to support Helian.
"Sigh, my innocent little sister~" Metis sighed again: "You know, now is the perfect time for you to make a huge demand, why did you just 'hmm' twice and then stop? Don't you think your commander is easier to talk to than your sister Morido?"
"Time is tight and the mission is heavy. I hope the commander will notice me because of my performance, rather than like the other sisters who try to attract attention with various actions, because... I don't have the same advantages as them..."
Her feet never stopped moving, but in her spare time, Adeline couldn't hide her smile.
Besides, I'm already very satisfied to have received his gratitude...
......
"M4, go and take care of that spitting guy up there!"
"understand!"
The hunter used the zombie corpses as a shield to block the spit from the zombies on the upper floor, while M4 used the broken walls as footholds to climb up to the second floor in a few quick steps. The out-of-service elevator and the makeshift ladder were useless in front of her.
The zombie quickly noticed the rapidly approaching M4 and staggered backward, clutching the gaping wound that ran from its mouth to its abdomen...
"vomit!"
Before the swift threat could get close, the zombie spat a large mouthful of air at the ground in front of it, hoping to block M4's approach. However, M4 already knew about its defensive measures and had no intention of getting close to it in the first place.
"Let's eat this instead!"
With one hand, he broke off the glass railing and threw it with maximum force. The sharp protrusion pierced the zombie's chest and severely injured its venom-spitting abdomen. Even though it could still struggle on the ground, it would soon die.
"Great, great! That's fucking awesome!"
There has never been such a spectacular performance, a pure crushing victory. This is much more entertaining than the usual scene of a group of rough men smashing zombies' heads. And that wall-climbing speed—who in the audience could do that?
The applause was thunderous, and the microphone above spoke again: "Well done, three of you. We have never seen female soldiers as strong as you. You are stronger than most of us. But there is one last hurdle for you to overcome."
[Boom]
The sound of metal clanging came from nearby. The three turned around and saw several people in protective suits standing in the doorway they had come from, as well as... five heavily wounded military soldiers. How could they tell? Their severely damaged uniforms were the answer.
Moreover, they also had several obvious bite marks on their bodies, which could be guessed to have been caused by zombies.
M16 frowned, raised his head and shouted, "What are your plans next? Shall we have a go at them?"
“No,” the voice suddenly dropped several octaves, “kill them.”
"?!"
“Kill the military personnel to prove your determination to fight them to the death. After all, you should know what it means to enlist.”
"Fuck you, Alfred, you deserter! So many people risked their lives for you for the past two weeks, and then you betrayed us all for such a trivial matter?! Do you know what that means?!"
The military soldiers in front of them displayed extreme rage, shouting insults into the microphone above them, but both sides stuck to their own versions of events, making it impossible to determine the actual situation.
The hunter returned to M16, his face grim: "So they want our pledge of allegiance? What are you planning?"
“Let’s take them out, they’re doomed,” M16 nodded. “Anyway, nobody will know what we did here.”
"Row."
Without a moment's hesitation, the hunter grabbed a steel pipe and pierced the soldier who was cursing Alfred. The others were powerless to resist and their heads were quickly smashed by the hunter.
......
Above, Helian, who was observing, still had a furrowed brow. She was not sure if killing military soldiers was a necessary procedure for enlistment, but could this be detrimental to their future cooperation with the military?
The military shouldn't have any way of knowing...
“Hey, Helian.”
Ange's voice came through the earpiece. Helian gestured to the girls with her eyes, then retreated to the side to make contact, with the executioner providing close protection.
She cleared her throat and asked, "What's wrong, Anjie?"
"We're at the sewer entrance, just two steps from where we're going. What's the plan?"
"Nothing for now. After you come out of the sewers, go to the building on the right and meet up with SP9. Stay on standby and wait for further instructions."
“Understood. By the way, just a heads-up,” Ange waved her finger at the girls and soldiers behind her from inside the sewers, “Several military squads have appeared in the sewers. We’ve already joined up with them. We’ll get rid of them and head to SP9’s location alone. Be careful, the military is moving faster than we thought.”
"...Okay, you all be careful too."
Damn it, this wasn't in the plan! Wasn't the military supposed to be cooperating with our operation? Why are they already gathering in the sewers?
It seems that Luo Fan was right after all. Those documents were not the military's only objective; eliminating Alfred was also on their agenda.
I wonder how things are going with AR15 and that "acquaintance" now...
After hanging up, the two prepared to return to their seats to await the outcome, but unexpectedly, Palmer appeared behind them.
Even though he was unarmed, the executioner subconsciously frowned and placed his hand on the scabbard at his waist. Helian also cooperated by placing her hand on the executioner's waist.
"Pamuer?"
The normally gentle mother now looked worried: "Well, I'm here to remind you, could you please leave later?"
"what?"
"Don't go see Alfred. Leave immediately by the way you came. Staying any longer is not safe for either of you..."
671 The Eve of the Storm
Raising an eyebrow, the executioner asked on behalf of Herrian, "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. I can't say anything more. I have to leave now, and you should too!"
After saying that, Palmer turned to leave, but Helian immediately stepped forward and grabbed him: "Wait, what do you mean? Why are you leaving now?"
"No, stop asking! I don't want things to go this way, it shouldn't be like this...!"
