Thinking this, Luo Fan picked up his tablet to prepare for another round of lottery draws. During this process, he couldn't help but find it a bit funny that the military had been severely damaged by a giant ship and cannon from the past. It could be said that the ship girls had given the giant sea monsters of the past a second life, and the giant sea monsters of the past were now roaming the world in another form.
You'll find out soon enough...
Seeing Luo Fan walk towards the wardrobe, the girls understood what was going on and began to tidy up the scene to "entertain guests." After all, it was their rest time, and they weren't a regular unit, so they were naturally much more easygoing.
"Sizzle..."
In just a brief moment, everyone heard it.
There are also differences in silencers. The effectiveness of modern silencers is ultimately limited, and this just reveals something.
Luo Fan put away the tablet and put his mask back on: "Disobedience Squad, let's go catch the rats."
Without a word, the girls picked up their weapons and followed. After living in peace for so long, it was finally time to have some real contact with someone.
Before leaving, Helian added, "Be careful."
"Don't worry," Luo Fan said casually without turning his head, "Catching mice won't get you bitten on the hand."
The sound source is probably somewhere on the fifth floor, but I'm not sure of the exact location. It shouldn't be far away.
With a silencer, locals can be largely ruled out. If it's the military, they can't cause trouble. If it's Umbrella, they can be eliminated directly. After all, the military can stand under the spotlight, but Umbrella can't.
AK12 poked her head out and, finding nothing unusual in the corridor, the group slowly made their way forward. In the dark, they were in a position to fight on their own.
552 Port Area Insecticide.1
"Hey, be careful, there might be more than just this one monster in here."
Voices came from the end of the corridor, and everyone immediately ducked to the door frame for cover. Through the night vision module, they could see a person carrying a gun walking from one room to the room opposite.
That red-eyed gas mask, I can't forget it, it's an old acquaintance.
The conversation continued, but the volume had decreased significantly, making it difficult to understand what was being said. Luo Fan then gestured for the group to continue moving forward slowly. As the distance closed, they were able to hear the conversation more clearly...
"You mean this monster isn't a new product from the company?"
"Of course, otherwise why would the company need us to collect samples? This is not part of the research plan, and the company rarely develops BOWs with such poor controllability, especially this type that is so incomplete that it can only operate at night. According to Level 2 intelligence, the scale of this outbreak is so large that it has almost escaped the company's control, which has brought a serious crisis of credibility to the company. Therefore, our task is to collect samples and then let the geniuses in the laboratory figure out how to clean up the mess."
"Wow, that's quite rare. The company actually made a mistake within its own business scope. This is Umbrella, after all."
"Don't talk too much, and don't question the company. Just do your job well."
......
A crisis of confidence means that Umbrella has one or more potential partners, and this outbreak was unplanned due to other unforeseen circumstances...
Lofan turned around, and AN94 gestured to him with a box-shaped recording device and put it in his pocket.
Then, Luo Fan waved his hand...
The AK15 dropped a stun grenade inside.
"boom!"
After the echo faded, only the corpses of several USS soldiers remained on the ground, along with the remains of a Night Demon.
"It seems we're not the only ones who have a superficial understanding."
RPK bent down, picked up the USS squad leader's terminal, and crushed it into pieces.
AN94 added, "But we know that Umbrella has its own network of interests, and the extent of the destruction they caused was not entirely their own doing. This destruction also served the interests of a certain group."
"Foreign forces? Spies? Or part of an experimental program? Who knows? Like us, these days, without connections, who dares to show their face in public?"
Luo Fan gestured with his chin for the girls to leave: "Let's go back and rest for a while. It'll be quieter this time."
Another conspiracy has surfaced, suggesting the actual situation is more complex than initially thought. Umbrella has not achieved absolute dominance, at least not entirely...
We'll have to wait for further intelligence to find out. Hopefully, they'll have a chance to discover Umbrella's backers.
When we got back to the room, the aroma was still strong, and the girls were already eating. They were just waiting to set up a pot and start making soup.
Dido from the maid squad is truly remarkable. She can prepare military rations in so many different ways. Just from this meal, the invisible barrier between the army and navy seems to have disappeared.
"The midnight snack made by this maid is indeed delicious, with a great texture, flavor, and generous portion."
MDR couldn't help but praise it, even though the words sounded somewhat familiar...
Luo Fan smiled and decided to continue the lottery. The arrival of the ship girls would be perfect for a simple late-night snack, a good opportunity to strengthen their friendship.
Four draws, press the option, let's get an aircraft carrier, that's what we're counting on.
Having tidied himself up, Luo Fan stood in front of the counter, smiling as he awaited the result.
[Four-pull rewards: Kaga, Akagi, Taihou, Shoukaku]
(The smile gradually froze)
Good news: all bad news for the aircraft carrier: there are two port areas with pesticide residue!!!
This is utterly ridiculous! It's going to cause a bloodbath!
Luo Fan completely forgot the fact that he was a weak human and tried to block the cabinet door with his own strength. However, reality slapped him hard (physical). Two slender jade hands blasted through the cabinet door like cannonballs, and then gently stroked Luo Fan's face twice. The movements were so gentle, like willows brushing against the riverbank, slow and steady, without ripples, but they made Luo Fan feel fear from head to toe.
The thumbs are both on the right side; they are two different left hands.
"It's over..." Luo Fan thought to himself, cold sweat pouring down his face.
"Ah... Commander..."
"This is the Commander, ah... even if all that's left is his skull, I can still recognize him...!"
Like a vampire about to burst out of its coffin, or a beast about to break free of its cage, Lovan is that extremely fragile being, whose fate depends entirely on the will of the trapped.
The girls' attention was all drawn to the wardrobe, and they looked at it with suspicion, as if they were all asking with their eyes: What the hell is going on?
boom!
Two black-haired girls smashed the cabinet door with their bare hands and pushed Luo Fan all the way to the bed. The impact almost knocked Heli off the bed.
"What are you doing?"
Helian said unhappily, while at the same time being glad that she hadn't put the beef in her mouth.
Then, two cold-looking, short-haired white girls slowly walked out of the cabinet, but everyone's attention was drawn to the two ship girls' crazy smiles, and they had no time to pay attention to these two seemingly harmless and exquisite women.
"Commander, where have you gone? Do you know how much pain Akagi has felt during the days you were gone? Pain so intense it felt like I was going to vomit my insides out...!"
"Commander~ Is there something about Taihou that you're not satisfied with? What exactly did she do wrong? Tell Taihou, and she'll fix it right away. Or is it that her face has become unattractive? Then Taihou will slash her face and let the Commander paint it back to your liking... Or is there someone who has made the Commander unhappy? Taihou will definitely...!"
The two of them completely ignored the stares of the crowd, as if they were about to publicly rape Luo Fan, who had just finished a fight!
"Sister" Kaga coughed twice, hinting, "Please be mindful of your image; there are still many people here."
"As expected of Akagi-senpai, this is something only she would do. Looks like the Commander is in for a rough night~"
With a flick of her sleeve, Shoukaku, holding her flute, adopted a spectator's expression, making no attempt to stop them. Rather, with these two around, she was willing but unable to do anything about it.
Everyone stood there stunned, except for the alchemist who put down the can and walked over: "Hey, what are you doing?!"
Soon, Sirius and AK15 also joined the fight, but to little avail. No one could have imagined that these two girls were incredibly strong, and no matter what they did, they couldn't pull them apart even a fraction of an inch.
“12, should we also…” AN94 whispered in 12’s ear, only to find that 12 already looked quite interested.
"No need, let's see what happens next. Maybe the Commander has more emotional debts than we think?"
553 Port Area Insecticide.2
"Stop...stop!" Luo Fan roared with all his might before he died, "Calm down, everyone! Hmph, hmph, hmph, ahhhhhhh!!!" (Painful roars during the struggle)
Finally, presumably because their brains were no longer red-hot, the two let go of each other's hands and then looked around.
And then it started again...
"Commander, why are there so many girls here?" Akagi leaned closer, her two fox ears bobbing up and down. "Is this a test of Akagi's love?"
Before she could finish speaking, Taihou pushed her aside, grinning foolishly, "Commander, Commander, you let Taihou see you again, you must be facing some tricky problem, right? Are you going to help you get rid of all these 'bugs' around you?"
The classic saying is half right...
Who are you calling an insect?
The Destroyer grabbed the howitzer and stood up abruptly. Although this small figure was far less intimidating than the two ship girls, the two girls turned their gazes, making the Destroyer shudder, and he silently sat down again.
The Disruptor and Scarecrow didn't look too happy either. They were both quite dissatisfied with these two impolite ship girls, especially for forcing the commander to his face in front of them.
But Da Feng ignored this and remained immersed in Luo Fan's arms.
"Holy crap, are we going to start an impart? I'm going to film this for Yingque...!" Only MDR was still having fun, even having his camera equipment ready, as if this were some unknown film set, and a major annual drama was about to begin.
"Stop it, everyone! Calm down! Let me finish!"
......
It took Luo Fan nearly ten minutes to explain the situation clearly, though it's unclear how much of it they actually understood.
Judging from that expression, it seems that Luo Fan had basically omitted the parts he wanted them to accept.
“I understand,” Kaga nodded, but also put on a smug smile: “So it’s because the commander’s men are too weak and need the help of the First Carrier Division.”
"Tsk..." The surveyor gritted his teeth, about to lash out, but was stopped by the architect.
The girls realized that they were now dealing with a difficult person, at least in terms of social interaction, as the other party was not very friendly.
However, the other side does have advantages that they lack, so they can't complain. After all, infantry can't afford to offend both the army and navy, or they might not even be able to find their way.
Luo Fan tacitly acknowledged their predicament, anyway...
"But you are one of us after all, so leave the rest to us."
"Oh dear, I don't think I'm a member of the First Carrier Division. May I rest here with the Commander?"
The term "First Carrier Division" once again stirred up Shoukaku's sarcastic nature, perhaps not only for Luo Fan, but also for Akagi's ears.
“Shoukaku, you are also an important asset and tangible resource to the Commander, especially now that the Commander needs us. So before we resolve these troubles, I think we should…?”
In summary: I don't have time to deal with you now, I'll deal with you after I've finished beating you.
Luo Fan was in a real headache. He regretted drawing so many shots at once. If it had only been one, he could have managed to cope. But now, he had to think about how to avoid being cut into pieces.
"Commander, don't worry. Once Taihou has resolved your troubles, we'll run far away, to a place where no one can find us. Without anyone watching us, we can go wherever we want!"
Taihou replaced the two ship girls in the maid squad and became the person closest to Luo Fan. She almost always clung to his arm like a wild beast guarding its food. However, the girls couldn't say much. First, they probably couldn't afford to offend him, and second, they all agreed that this guy's mental state must be abnormal. Don't mess with a madman.
Everyone present possessed a Luo Fan ring, the emotions it embodied were self-evident and varied, but no one was as infatuated as Taihou and Akagi. An outsider might have thought they'd eaten the rings...
"Fortunately, you're relatively sane, which makes things easier for the Commander."
The saboteur was half-jokingly teasing the dreamer, only to be slapped on the head and told, "If you're stupid, shut up."
"I praised you and you hit me?!"
It has to be said that this team composition really fits the main cast of a White Eagle blockbuster, where there's always a character who's a little bit off-track.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Luo Fan pretended to be serious and said, "Let's do as we just said, use carrier-based aircraft for reconnaissance. You can take a vacation, but we'll talk about it after the mission is completed."
The unfortunate man eventually changed the subject by making a promise and using the mission as an excuse, but it worked unexpectedly well. The two insecticides were just as obedient as the maids.
"Yes, Commander is right, we should prioritize the mission."
The two women indeed came to the window with the two aircraft carriers, ready to carry out their mission.
As their voice lines suggest, the commander's victory is something they are absolutely willing to dedicate themselves to...
Taking the opportunity, 45 leaned closer, glancing at the two madmen by the window from time to time, and whispered, "Commander, their abilities are undeniable, but if we have to work with more of these... catnip-addicted guys in the future, we can't guarantee that our frontline won't be wiped out one day."
Looking at her furrowed brows, it seemed she was genuinely worried about the safety of herself and her teammates, which was reasonable. After all, when Akagi and Taihou were talking about dealing with the "insects" earlier, their tone and eyes didn't seem like they were joking.
But Luo Fan had at least watched the individual storylines and the official Azur Lane anime, and given his relatively smooth way of handling things, perhaps...
"Hmm...it shouldn't be that serious. It was just a casual remark. After all, anyone can talk big, but when it really comes down to it, they never let us down."
Aside from my own lack of skill... the anime and their individual storylines have already shown that they are just pretending to be yandere. Akagi has a heavy responsibility to shoulder, and Taihou is even a bit silly and cute, even though they always give off a... dangerous aura.
Luo Fan warned again, "Of course, there's also the matter of not arguing with them. If you push them too far, it'll be a different story. If you want to build a good relationship with the Navy, I suggest starting with Tirpitz. She's a very reasonable person."
Following the direction Luo Fan pointed out, 45 saw the lonely queen of the north, who was simply observing everything silently, with no intention of interfering in the farce of the Sakura Empire ship girls.
"Okay, I'll try it next time..."
It's a very simple principle: the army naturally wants to maintain good relationships with support units. After all, in Luo Fan's company, where there are no priorities, relationships are more important than the title of captain. In short, it's better to be friends than colleagues.
P.S.: Next week is the city-wide joint exam, which is also the final exam. I should be able to update again this weekend, and then I'll wait until after the exam to see what happens.
A female-oriented novel crossed the line, and another major purge is coming. Hopefully, we'll be okay...
