Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 410

Having received the order, the already adjusted baseline was already aimed at the soldier's head; now all that was needed was to pull the trigger...

"Blame each other's bosses."

Barrett muttered to himself, and then came a strange muffled sound, and the target, a hundred meters away, was torn in two by the bullet.

After the bullet passed through, it hit the vehicle behind. The military squad used the impact point to roughly confirm the sniper's location and began to look for cover. However, the Barrett's fire control system made calibration much more efficient than that of a human sniper.

"That's too late......"

Tsk

Immediately afterwards, another person's right arm, along with his weapon, flew off. However, he didn't seem to be completely dead yet. He lay on the ground, howling in pain, and the nearby zombies were attracted to him and began to approach.

"wrong......"

Seeing that the soldiers seemed to have no intention of rescuing their comrades, they quickly lowered their heads and used the wrecked cars as cover to continue running towards the hospital.

Barrett was surprised and immediately reported: "Angie, their target is very clear, it's the hospital. They've abandoned their teammates who haven't been eliminated yet. I might not be able to stop them on my own."

In Barrett's view, the number of red dots was gradually increasing: "There seem to be quite a few of them..."

"Damn..."

Ange instinctively pounded her knees, then spoke again: "The three of you, how many people did you see over there?"

“There are many, from the military and the USS,” Essex replied immediately, his tone tense. “They are entering the hospital grounds from different angles and have not yet found each other.”

"The number is conservatively over forty..." Kaga added.

Damn, this is too much! Why are all these good-for-nothing nitpickers suddenly coming out in droves at this time?

But there was nothing else she could do, so Ange could only continue to give orders: "Barrett, kill as many targets as possible, regardless of which faction they are from. It would be best to threaten them and make them back down."

“My perspective is limited. This kind of large-scale cleanup should be handled by those with big equipment…” Barrett changed magazines, his expression full of frustration: “But I’ll try my best.”

The range of firepower from the ship girls is too great. Even if they are not easily noticed, a wave of air attacks can easily make the military raise their assessment of the scale of the situation. At the very least, it will make them no longer underestimate the enemy in front of them and start to take real action.

Barrett had no choice but to take on this tough job, since she was the only sniper on the team.

"One, two, three..."

It was as if Death himself had turned the pages of a roster on a dark stone. Every time Barrett spoke, it meant a soldier had been shot dead. The kill rate was so high that the military might have suspected that they were being targeted by an entire sniper team.

Perhaps aware of the lack of effective cover, several squads quickened their pace, while Barrett could only continue to call out names, trying to force the troops back in this way.

"Seventeen... um...?"

Just as she was about to pull the trigger again, she seemed to hear a restless throbbing in her ear. Barrett turned around and looked towards the stairwell.

Tap tap tap...

Seemingly realizing something, she immediately drew her pistol and aimed it at the stairwell, her expression serious and alert, ready to act at any moment if she received a signal that something was amiss...

boom!

"Damn it, a booby trap!"

!!!

In the blink of an eye, Barrett packed up his tripod, slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder, and rushed toward the side office, securing the pre-set tripwires as he did so before making his escape.

“Ange, I’ve been exposed and am switching locations. I can no longer provide you with support.”

Without waiting for a reply, Barrett quickly hung up the call. Now, as a sniper operating alone and with her position exposed, she had to remain on high alert.

Her fears proved to be justified. Just after turning a corner, before the sniper rifle behind her had even taken a fixed position, the enemy that appeared in front of her forced her to raise her pistol and return fire.

"She's here. Grab her and open fire at will!"

"Seal off the stairwell! Another stairwell has been destroyed; she has nowhere to run!"

Barrett, wielding the familiar USS gas mask, was already adept at dealing with these enemies, but being surrounded and outnumbered...

Several pistol bullets failed to penetrate the opponent's shield, but a headshot effectively killed the target. Nevertheless, the stopping force still seemed worrisome.

"Damn it, this situation feels so familiar..."

In the original world, she and Webberly were surrounded by military dolls with nowhere to retreat, and in the end, they could only self-destruct. But at least this time, the enemy gave her the ability to fight back, and she even managed to escape unscathed...!

"Flash bomb!"

Upon hearing the enemy's shouts, Barrett immediately focused her attention on the nearby ground. Soon, her threat detection module located the flashbang, and she quickly pounced over and threw it back to the enemy's position.

"You should keep it for yourselves!"

boom!

With the hearing module temporarily deactivated and the blindfold activated, Barrett got up before the enemy could react and used the CAR stance to retaliate. With a series of bullets fired, all the USS members in front of him fell to the ground.

Although he was eager to figure out how they found his position, Barrett had no time to think about it anymore. After securing the sniper rifle, he immediately left the cover and continued moving forward.

The footsteps continued in the stairwell; clearly, changing course was no longer feasible...

After a brief explosion, Barrett went to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down. At a height of tens of meters, and at such a dangerous distance, a normal person would probably have already become dizzy.

But Barrett just gritted his teeth, then pulled out a dagger and a machete: "Hopefully my weight won't get me killed!"

Then it tilted forward...

648 Anjie PART.8

She had considered this evacuation route when she arrived, and fortunately, most of the office building had glass curtain walls, which gave Barrett room to maneuver.

It's a pity she couldn't use the grappling hook of the martyr Rihecate, otherwise no one could stop her now...

The strong winds and the feeling of weightlessness disrupted Barrett's cloud map stability, but she was still able to clearly calculate her falling speed and the distance she would lose control of.

That's about enough. There shouldn't be anyone else down there. If they fall any further, they really won't be able to control themselves...!

Adjusting her posture and the point of leverage, Barrett thrust the dagger in her left hand, slashing it against the glass curtain wall. As expected, her weight increased her gravitational potential energy, causing her to continue falling at high speed. The sound of the dagger slashing against the glass was incredibly piercing, but she had no time to care about these extra details. She only wanted to save her life at a suitable speed!

Seeing that the buffering speed was about right, Barrett finally raised his machete and stabbed it into the glass curtain wall. With a tooth-grinding cracking sound, his whole body swung outward before he finally stopped, hanging in the air.

"Phew, the knife's quality is pretty good. I'll go back and ask Paradis to order a few more..."

Barrett secretly marveled at the quality of the knife he had obtained from Paradis, then turned around and prepared to return to the building.

Using the glass curtain wall as leverage to get up, and then kicking out with tremendous force, he finally landed safely.

"If only I had a drone to record this, maybe the commander would like it."

She smiled to herself, then stood up and looked at the office in front of her.

"..."

Even here, there are still a few USS members clearing out the area...

"Damn it!"

A firefight was imminent, and Barrett now realized that the trouble she was facing was far more than that.

......

Meanwhile, Anjie, who was moving slowly, was also extremely anxious...

"Barrett, Barrett, reply! What's the situation on your end?! Please reply if you receive this...! Damn it.......!"

Barrett immediately cut off the communication, and Ange couldn't reach him at all. The interruption of information made Ange angry, and she subconsciously threw a punch.

AK12 turned around and asked, "Did something happen to Barrett?"

"She only said that she had been exposed, and then cut off contact. We don't know what's going on with her now."

Therefore, Ange had no choice but to switch information sources and continue asking, "Kaga, Essex, report on the external situation."

"Multiple military teams and USS members entered the hospital from different angles. There have been several small-scale firefights between the two sides, but both are trying to get into the hospital as soon as possible."

Essex's reply made Ange think again. Obviously, the military did not know who their enemy was, so they were not able to investigate the enemy's deployment in advance. Therefore, it was definitely not the military that found Barrett, but the USS. But how did the USS know the location of Barrett?

"In any case, we have to speed things up, or we'll soon run into the others."

Anjie picked up her weapon and quickened her pace. The girls immediately followed, and sporadic gunshots rang out. Clearly, the operation was not going as planned and had turned into a sudden firefight.

However, the exchange of fire was limited to the first two minutes. After that, there was an eerie silence, as if both sides had vanished into thin air in an instant. They didn't even meet, let alone exchange fire.

Why has it become quiet again?

The alchemist looked back from time to time to check his surroundings. Apart from the dilapidated hospital interior, there was nothing of value. The large-scale firefight between the military and the USS that he had anticipated had not occurred, which was quite different from their last operation at the police station.

AK15 coldly reminded, "Don't get distracted. We're penetrating deeper into the northern compound. There are no friendly forces here to meet us."

"Humph......"

The alchemist could only express his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.

But ten seconds after the brief incident, the alchemist suddenly rushed out at a speed far exceeding his usual pace, his heavy footsteps sounding exactly like the monsters lurking inside the hospital.

what happened?

Before Ange could speak, she discovered that the alchemist had collided with a group of USS. She had spotted them in advance and rushed out at top speed, brutally tearing them apart with her fist blade.

Everyone immediately understood the situation and began to provide support with firepower. Meanwhile, the USS members were distracted by the suddenly appearing alchemist and had not yet noticed the Rebellion Squad when they were hit by a hail of bullets and died.

RPK chuckled twice, then said sarcastically, "You've encountered the enemy. Aren't you going to tell your new commander?"

But the alchemist seemed completely oblivious to the sarcasm: "There's no time to kill; a direct surprise attack is the best course of action."

Taking advantage of the darkness that limits visibility, the alchemist will not give her enemies any opportunity to take advantage of her; eliminating them with the most swift and decisive means is her style.

But this goes against Anjie's standardized practices...

“I’ve already said this before,” Ange had no choice but to say, “You have to obey orders, even if you prefer to stay on his team.”

"Perhaps it's because I've been in Ironblood for too long and haven't adapted yet."

With this reply, the alchemist's attitude was clear enough: she was not very satisfied with the unfamiliar commander.

Having spent a lot of time with Lofan, you'll more or less develop this mentality. As former subordinates, the rebellious squad members of Griffin are relatively easy to deal with, but the strong-willed Ironblood members are more difficult to handle.

But now is not the right time for theory, at least their current position... is simply not suitable for conversation!

"Take cover! There are people on the stairs!"

AN94 exclaimed, then grabbed Ange's shoulder and immediately retreated to a nearby corner. Everyone else also moved to avoid the most dangerous first firing range, the stairwell.

The people below didn't hold back either, throwing out a flashbang as a greeting gift—a nine-flash combo, no less.

The girls took temporary shelter in the clinic, and once the effects of the shock subsided, they immediately returned to their respective firing positions, just as the enemy began their assault from above...

Without Ange giving any orders, the girls immediately opened fire. They didn't have time to determine the faction of the enemies in front of them, so they could only take advantage of the chaos to kill them all in order to conceal their identities.

After being ambushed by the girls, the other side immediately ducked down, using the stairs as cover, and began to fight back, launching a high-intensity firepower attack.

"It's the military, they've come up here!"

AK12 used the chaos to confirm their identities, but it was no longer important.

The key is how to break this deadlock!

Clearly, neither side can afford to be idle...

P.S.: We've secured the character art for Yingque, but the design is for a future version. We'll release it when the story reaches that point. The art style has a strong Yueji vibe.

649 Anjie PART.9

"Suppressive fire! Don't get bogged down here. You guys, move to my position immediately and provide alternating cover!"

Although they currently hold a defensive advantage, they are outnumbered, and the focus right now is not on wasting time with either the military or the USS...

AK12 nodded, then patted the alchemist's shoulder lightly: "Let's go!"

"Go ahead and charge, leave the rest to me."

As soon as the words were spoken, Anjie and RPK, who were in the safe zone, began to suppress the fire from two different angles, the left and the front of the clinic, to ensure the two could move smoothly. However, after a strange shaking, AK12 had a bad feeling.

She turned around and saw the alchemist dragging a mobile hospital bed down the corridor and hurrying towards the stairwell.

"What are you going to do?"

"You just go your own way, I'll handle the rest!"

As the hospital bed swept past AK12, she finally smelled the extremely strong odor of ethanol, and she understood what the alchemist was up to...

"Be careful and don't set yourself on fire."

"I'm not as stupid as an executioner."

AK12 didn't ask any more questions and immediately ran towards Anjie and AN94's location. As she passed the examination room, she reminded RPK and AK15, "No need for suppression, just walk!"
