RO, with a slight headache, pulled out a tissue and wiped the dog's mouth twice.
Two oil drums were a bit too much for twenty-odd people, so everyone could only take three pieces of meat to ensure that everyone had meat to eat.
Although everyone remains serious during missions, it's natural to enjoy life a little at times like these.
"Boom..."
"Pfft, there's not enough meat, it's not satisfying enough!"
The executioner gulped down a large bottle of red wine.
While grilled meat with red wine is indeed a wonderful combination, a big sip of wine with just a small piece of meat is a bit too much...
Logically, drinking red wine while barbecuing should have a good effect of cutting through the greasiness and harmonizing the flavors. However, the meat is so small that it's not even enough to fill a tooth gap. After the whole process, all you can taste in your mouth is the taste of wine, which is no different from not eating anything at all.
Moreover, they cannot fully enjoy themselves, as making too much noise might attract bad things.
Although barbecuing might be a bad idea in this situation, Luo Fan himself had the same thought, and in the end, everyone decided to have a little something to eat before setting off.
If possible, Luo Fan plans to speed up his journey now that he's full of energy and has eaten and drunk his fill, barring any unforeseen circumstances...
M4 placed the marked map in front of Lofan.
"Commander, if we travel at twice our original speed, and barring any unforeseen circumstances and with good weather, theoretically we could leave Raccoon City tonight, but that's only theoretical..."
M4 wasn't sure either; nobody knew what would happen next.
At least one of the two conditions has been met: the weather is indeed nice.
The snow is much lighter than last night, and the wind has dropped significantly. Even a Pascal might not have a strong effect. If you grit your teeth and hold on, you might actually be able to run out in one go.
Have you planned an alternative route?
Luo Fan stared at the red triangle on the map, his brows furrowed; that was their current location.
"Everything is planned. We are now far from the city center, in the suburbs of Raccoon City, near the outer ring. There are many similar alleyways here, which are intricate and convenient for us to move and hide. Even if we take the alternative route, it won't take too much time."
"Yeah......"
That's actually quite a good situation.
"Now that the issue of routes within the city has been resolved, we need to consider another problem."
"What's the problem?"
"After we go out..."
Raccoon City is under lockdown. The only way out is through checkpoints. Even setting aside the process of leaving the checkpoints, once outside, due to the traffic blockade, there will be no transportation available; they'll have to walk the entire way...
Moreover, to get to Hawaii, they had to walk out of Raccoon City and fly directly to Raccoon City from Denver International Airport in Colorado, but the problem was that they had to walk there.
The identity issue was relatively simple; the girls could just use fake identities. However, boarding presented another problem...
The girls are all made of metal, how do they get through security checks?
Guns are fine, but girls can't fit them in tablets.
......
Perhaps we can only turn to a tablet for help.
After opening the Girls' Frontline game system interface, Luo Fan received a pop-up notification.
[New Tactical Doll Appearance Rate Increased]
【ZiP.22】
【A545】
【Veneron M2】
......
A character illustration was also attached to the side.
Hmm, these three new dolls are quite attractive, and they're all brand new dolls. It looks like they've been added to the construction pool.
Let's see if there's a chance to build it in the future; right now, we need to think about more important things...
Open the build menu and see if there's anything usable...
"Anti-EMP device, repair kit, pinhole camera, vital signs monitor... Got it, metal detector jammer... bracelet?"
A 2000-part item.
Is it possible to prevent metal objects from inducing eddy currents due to a magnetic field, thereby indirectly keeping the original magnetic field unaffected?
Luo Fan hadn't studied these principles, but based on the principle that the system wouldn't betray him, he still spent nearly 50000 parts to make one for someone other than himself.
There was no time to build; the next moment, a whole bunch of bracelets appeared on the screen, almost falling to the ground.
"Everyone, put this on."
Then, Luo Fan tossed the bracelets to the girls like dealing cards.
The girls took the pure black bracelet, somewhat puzzled.
"Commander, what's this for? You already have a ring, why do you need to wear a bracelet?"
The alchemist couldn't resist making a little joke.
"This thing can help us get through security checks. I don't know the exact principle behind it, but it should be useful."
He himself was too lazy to explain much; as long as the problem was solved, that was enough...
The girls didn't ask too many questions, knowing that the commander wouldn't betray them, so they put the bracelets on themselves.
So, with the security check issue resolved, let's move on to the original problem.
Walk back, it's that simple. Even if you have a car, you can't drive it.
In other words, after they leave, they will have to endure some hardships and sleep outdoors for a while, then rest slowly on the way to Denver International Airport, then take a plane to Hawaii, and finally go to New York to carry out preparations.
In this way, the simple plan was completed.
"Alright, M4, I have a plan. We'll set off in a bit."
The man, who had been lying flat, suddenly jumped up from the sofa, opened the door to the bakery, and looked at the weather outside.
The snow was still thick, but the air was no longer uniformly white, and the howling sound was no longer harsh; it was a perfect time for a snowball fight.
Turning back, Pascal was sitting next to the girls, eating barbecue, and he looked to be in good spirits.
They have plans, they have force, they have capital.
So, everything is ready, except for the final push...
192 Departure
Despite saying he would try to finish as quickly as possible, Luo Fan waited until the girls had been eating for half an hour before interrupting them.
During this time, apart from the crackling of the burning firewood, everyone spent almost all their time listening to the smacking sounds of the dog chewing, but they didn't find it noisy. On the contrary, they thoroughly enjoyed this lively sound.
Although there wasn't much meat, at least they had something to eat, and they had brought quite a few canned meats with them, so thinking about it that way, things weren't actually that bad.
The ground around the oil drums turned from pale to black and sticky. The grease from the roasting meat dripped freely onto the ground. Since I had no intention of staying here for long, I didn't bother to clean it up; I just wanted to avoid getting it on myself.
After all, there's no hot water for them to wash their clothes, and no electricity to run the heating system...
Because the demand for barbecued meat was too high, and some people were impatient, they had no choice but to add more firewood and increase the heat.
"Hey, executioner, stop stuffing the firewood in! There's no room for the meat!"
Just as the dreamer was about to put the meat on the table, the executioner's firewood pushed him out.
"What do you know? If it's grilled faster, everyone can eat it faster, right?"
"Tsk, sigh..."
The executioner continued to stuff firewood into the oil drum with great enthusiasm, while the dreamer could only roll his eyes in annoyance at the deserted place.
The ceiling was blackened by soot, and the room reeked of cooking fumes. If anyone else came here later and saw this mess, they could probably guess what had happened...
Luo Fan and the Rebellious Squad sat on the sofa, neither arguing nor fighting, simply smiling and observing from the sidelines.
Since everyone is willing, let's just make do for now.
At some point, M16 walked behind the sofa, carrying a bottle of red wine, and came up behind Lofan.
"A modern Tuscan, unfortunately it's been at room temperature for a while. Maybe I should have buried this bottle in the snow last night."
"Thanks, I'm satisfied as long as I have something to drink."
As expected, 16 Pigeons really understands me; having some wine at times like this is definitely a good choice.
It's a pity they didn't bring their wine glasses. It's really unnecessary to drink from wine glasses in a place like this. There are no spotlights here, no famous families, so there's no need to be bound by those formalities.
So, Luo Fan simply picked up the bottle and poured the wine into his mouth.
Then, another bottle appeared on his face.
"The Right Bank of Bordeaux".
Let's clink glasses.
"Okay."
Then the two met again, just like before.
Although the lack of a suitable environment for preservation caused the wine's taste and flavor to be slightly different from its peak, it still did not significantly affect its original high quality. Lofan felt his mind clear up a lot again.
I'm in such good shape, it's about time, time to get to work...
"OK, girls, all of you look at me! Look at me!"
In an instant, more than twenty pairs of eyes turned to the man who had suddenly stood up.
Luo Fan's expression became more excited: "I have an announcement to make: we need to prepare to set off."
This statement did not surprise the girls. After eating and drinking their fill, it was indeed time to set off, especially since the only two humans present were in pretty good condition.
"According to M4's analysis, we are now in the outskirts of Raccoon City. If we move at twice the original speed, we can theoretically leave Raccoon City tonight. Although we need to play it safe, the weather is very good now, and a large number of zombies have died. It is very favorable for our withdrawal. Besides, no one wants to stay here any longer, right?"
"..."
No one answered, which the girls interpreted as tacit agreement.
"That's right, let's pack up and get ready to leave."
If not now, when?
Regardless of what Umbrella and the military guys wanted to do in Raccoon City, he was going to make a living anyway, and he felt it was bad luck to stay here for even one more day.
As soon as the words were spoken, the girls sitting on the ground immediately jumped up and quickly packed up their weapons and equipment. In less than two minutes, everyone was ready to go in the living room.
Everyone was in great shape. No one slacked off during this short break. They put on their coats, hats, and masks, looking every bit the professionals.
Pascal chose to wear three scarves this time; any more and he might have covered his entire head.
Luo Fan now felt that perhaps he should give Pascal a bandit's hood instead...
"Go retrieve the surveillance footage, and we'll set off once that's done."
The cleanup work still needs to be done properly, otherwise it's really annoying if guests don't take their trash with them when they leave...
The same personnel were used: AK45 and AK12 went to remove the front surveillance camera, while AK15 and M870 took the one from the back alley. The two sides worked together much more smoothly.
A short while later, the two cameras were back in his hands.
With their feet firmly planted on the thick snow and free from the biting wind, they could finally see the road ahead.
"Let's go, let's set off, and try to leave Raccoon City tonight..."
In the boundless darkness, the man holding the HK416 led his teammates forward toward their goal.
Those around him could see an uncontrollable determination flashing in his eyes; at least for this moment, he had no hesitation. He was determined to leave this place with his family.
A leader's demeanor naturally influences the state of his followers. The girls suddenly felt that the road ahead would be much easier. Even though all the positive aspects were based on theory, no one wanted to throw cold water on their enthusiasm. This was exactly the feeling they needed.
Even knowing that the road ahead would be difficult, their passion would not dull or numb them. Luo Fan and the captains of each squad still believed that they could make reasonable judgments at the right time and prevent anyone from acting rashly or impulsively.
The lights in the alleyway had long been turned off, and only a large number of dark figures could be seen rushing by.
They were moving at twice the original speed, which was practically running. Even with Pascal there, they couldn't slow down. Pascal gritted his teeth and decided to keep going, thinking that leaving this place would be a relief.
"If all else fails, I'll carry her on my back."
That's what the alchemist said.
