"Watch your table, little sister, watch your table..."
"Uh-huh!"
Nemokin even tried to persuade her dear sister, but it was obviously pointless. Mercury Rose was the kind of girl who would lose her mind when faced with delicious food, and she wouldn't even gain weight.
Is elegance more important than eating? Elegance can be achieved anytime, but eating is not something that can be done anytime.
So, once again, Mercury Rose ignored her sister's words and continued to devour her steak at lightning speed.
Luo Fan guessed that if the restaurant weren't a public place, she would have used her robotic arm to grab the whole steak and stuff it into her mouth.
We should be thankful that at least she retained some rationality...
Even AK15 doesn't have such a big appetite, nor can she finish a steak so quickly. Although she was expressionless, her expression when she looked at Mercury Rose again showed obvious surprise.
RPK16 happened to notice this.
"What, are you envious of others sitting next to the commander? Or are you envious of their big appetite?"
RPK also pushed the cut steak in front of AK15 and poured a little red wine into their glasses.
His thoughts were interrupted, so AK15 stopped thinking about it and took the steak from the other person and started eating slowly.
"No, nothing..."
You can't judge a book by its cover, and that's certainly true.
......
"Then we'll head back to our room first. You should get some rest too."
"Get some rest, Commander."
"Okay, you too."
The agent and M4 greeted each other and then went into their respective rooms, while Team 404 was still in another elevator and would need a little more time to come up.
There's no need to wait to greet them, they're waiting to go to sleep too, and besides, there are seven of them sleeping in one room, so they need to take a shower early.
After taking off his coat and hanging it on the hanger, Luo Fan rummaged through his luggage for a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.
As usual, Luo Fan took the first shower. This time, he didn't want to do the "disobedience team" thing again. He was already exhausted from all the work, and if he caused any more trouble, he was afraid he would just collapse on the spot.
Under the gazes of six people, each carrying a different emotion, their eyes finally stopped in front of the bathroom door covered with frosted glass, where they could hear the sound of water and the hazy mist coming from inside.
They're not planning on playing dirty tricks anymore. Everyone's exhausted lately, so let's wait until we settle down before thinking about these things.
Mercury Rose and Nemokin, on the other hand, sat on the same large bed as the Rebellion Squad, barely daring to move. They could only watch the girls' movements and expressions, looking more like subservient maids.
AK12 and the others didn't lie down, nor did they dare to. Now they truly understood how oppressive these Griffin dolls were when Luo Fan wasn't around.
They never reveal their oppressive aura to their commanders, and their usual sharp edges disappear. Only when dealing with outsiders do they become tactful or show no respect whatsoever.
In fact, the Rebellion Squad didn't care at all whether they lay down or not. They just had nothing to do and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for the commander. But without the commander to liven up the atmosphere, their own aura was so oppressive that Mercury Rose and Nemokin dared not make any rash moves.
The sisters thought that if they lay down, AK15 might just pick them up and throw them out. They had just noticed AK15's height. The girl's expression looked fiercer than a man's, and even men might have to give her a wide berth.
So the six of them remained silent, each going about their own business, waiting for Luo Fan to come out.
(The two sisters awkwardly rub their hands together.)
......
After taking a refreshing hot shower, feeling much less stressed, Luo Fan stretched comfortably with a white towel tied around his head before returning to his room.
Then AK12 and AN94 went in, followed by RPK16 and AK15, and finally the two sisters.
It was already a bit of a stretch for five people to lie on one bed, and since the Rebellion Squad and Luo Fan were both quite tall, they had to endure considerable pressure when squeezed together.
Then, Nemokin and Mercury Rose climbed up.
"Excuse me, where should we lie down...?"
Nimokin looked at the five people who were already lying down and dared not lie down between Luo Fan and AK12.
They also observed that AK12, the leader of the rebellious squad, was the highest-ranking among all the humanoid girls, and trying to lie down among her was tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
Unexpectedly, the AK12 actually made some room on its own...
229 Mutation
"This is......"
The two sisters were not yet clear about the meaning behind each other's actions. Could this be some kind of hint or a trap?
But let alone them, even the other members of the rebellious squad couldn't understand why AN94, when gently pushed by AK12, still cooperated despite not understanding the other party's purpose.
Luo Fan was already feeling very sleepy. He stretched out a hand from under the covers and gently waved it twice.
"You guys... go to sleep as soon as you find an empty seat, don't ask me anything... I'm sleepy..."
Seemingly exhausted after saying those words, the man's outstretched hand fell to the ground, and he tucked it back into the blankets. Soon after, soft breathing could be heard.
Even AK12 opened one eye halfway, raised its chin at the two of them, and its furrowed brows seemed to imply dissatisfaction with their reaction.
They dared not have any more suspicions, so they quickly crawled into the quilt and lay down, no longer moving around. The small quilt became even more crowded, and they didn't even feel truly wrapped in the quilt. They could only try to get as close to each other's bodies as possible to get more warmth.
Fortunately, RPK's skin was still warm. Luo Fan held RPK and drifted off to sleep with a faint, innocent smile.
The rebellious squad also began to hibernate, but the two sisters, with their eyes tightly closed, found it difficult to fall asleep...
If only the Rebellious Squad could be a little gentler, they wouldn't be so terrified of sleeping with a pack of wolves, even though the Rebellious Squad seems to be a wolf pack to begin with...
This is a peculiar combination: two powerful snow wolves, a snow mastiff, a silver fox, and a shepherd without a flock of sheep.
They can't understand it, but they won't doubt it.
"Go to sleep, little sister, don't think too much."
Nemokin gently stroked Mercury Rose's delicate little hand and whispered words of comfort.
Mercury Rose, with her eyes tightly closed, nodded in response. As for not thinking too much about it, that was probably unlikely...
It's still early, at least until your normal bedtime.
......
"..."
At some unknown time in the morning, Luo Fan got out of bed feeling relaxed, followed by the Rebellious Squad and the new sisters.
Although they seemed nervous in bed, their sleep quality was actually quite good. Perhaps it was because they had eaten and drunk their fill and taken a hot bath that their sleep quality improved. After all, these were things they didn't often have the opportunity to experience before.
The normal routine is to open your eyes, stretch, touch your face to RPK, get up, and then go to the bathroom to wash up.
The routine was the same as what ordinary people do before starting work. They also had things to do today: head to the train station to catch the early morning train to Denver, and then to Denver International Airport to catch their flight.
Time was precious, and they didn't intend to waste too much time on breakfast. They grabbed something at a restaurant, bought some bread and hot coffee on the way, and then took a taxi to the train station.
"Phew, looks like there are quite a few people at the train station at this time..."
Luo Fan and the girls strolled around the train station hall, looking for anything interesting.
They had already bought their train tickets, but there was still some time before their train arrived at the station. There weren't many empty seats in the hall, so they decided not to sit down and just wander around, treating it as their morning exercise.
Gouzi and AA12 were munching on bags of potato chips, while Luo Fan opted for the same hot coffee as Pascal, only without as much sugar—after all, he couldn't drink the mop water...
AR15 pointed to the display screen above the hall: "Commander, our vehicle is almost here. Shall we go to the platform to wait?"
Luo Fan looked up and immediately noticed their train information and destination. He nodded.
"Okay, let's go, let's wait at the platform."
It's getting late, and the smell of cigarette smoke from passersby and the crying of babies here are quite unpleasant...
On the way to the platform, Dreamer tugged at Luo Fan's sleeve.
"what happened?"
"Look at that guy..."
The dreamer pointed to a man not far away wearing a thick cotton-padded coat and a black knitted hat.
The other person looked very strange, constantly bending over and coughing, with uncoordinated twitches in parts of their body from time to time, and did not look like a normal person.
Everyone stopped and focused their attention on the strange man.
The Dreamer, with a cold expression, nudged Luo Fan's waist: "What are your plans?"
"..."
Let's keep an eye on it...
"AK12, get access to the train station's surveillance footage and share it with me. We'll continue on our own, just remember to keep an eye on this guy."
"Ok."
This train station is not under their jurisdiction. They should just do their own job and deal with it when necessary. Besides, they are not sure what the situation is right now.
Mercury Rose and Nemokin glanced around at the crowd, intending to check if anyone similar had appeared nearby.
"Let's go, we're still quite a distance from the platform."
M4 stood at the front of the line and waved to everyone.
Deciding to stop paying too much attention to the strange man, the girls continued walking along the sign to the platform.
This train station is indeed quite large; it's several hundred meters away from the platform, and you have to turn several corners and climb stairs to get there.
But their intuition told them that something bad was about to happen...
Luo Fan kept staring at his phone screen, which displayed the surveillance footage of the train station. The footage kept changing according to the strange man's location, and Luo Fan was keeping a close eye on his position.
Although I told myself not to worry too much, I couldn't help but want to find out what this man was up to.
In the video, the other person's convulsions became more and more intense, and the degree of distortion of their movements became increasingly bizarre, starting to exceed the range of normal people.
Luo Fan's unease grew stronger.
"Commander, how is it?"
45 peeked out and looked at the phone screen as well, seeing the man's actions.
She had what seemed to be the same guess as Luo Fan...
"Commander, could it be...?"
"Hopefully not, it'd better not be..."
Reality doesn't always match what you imagine.
In the video, the man's convulsions reach their limit, and blood begins to drip onto the ground.
Passersby began to move away from the man, but some mustered the courage to approach him, seemingly concerned for his well-being.
But then, the man suddenly bit down on his neck.
As expected, what I feared most has come to pass...
230 Defense and Rescue
Shortly afterward, a scream was heard in the distance, and the surveillance footage showed people scattering and fleeing, trying to get away from the center of this sudden incident.
However, they were still a hundred meters away from the scene of the incident, and all they could hear were screams. The passersby were all looking towards the station hall with some confusion, not knowing what had happened.
The two scenes presented starkly different phenomena. At the station, people were scattering and fleeing, and the number of people biting these passersby was gradually increasing, but the people on the other side were still carrying out their own activities, completely unaware of what was happening.
They were still some distance from the platform; they were simply in another area of the hall...
The screams grew clearer, and more and more people were fleeing. They could see people running towards the area, and the spread of panic caused those around them to also consider retreating.
Thirty meters away, a man covered in blood tackled a security guard, pinned him down, and bit down on his neck.
The security guard painfully stretched out a hand towards Luo Fan and his group, seemingly still clinging to the thought of escaping death. But the hand's movement only grew increasingly stiff, finally collapsing helplessly to the ground. His screams ceased, but were followed by even more screams—from men, women, and even animals and children…
Yes, for some reason, the zombies they encountered in Raccoon City appeared at the Aurora City train station...
Luo Fan and the girls placed their hands on the daggers and short-handled axes behind them and slowly retreated towards the area behind them.
"AK12, how much longer until our train arrives?"
Just as Luo Fan asked the question, a zombie with its neck already bitten off pounced on Luo Fan, who hadn't yet turned to run away. But AK15 strode forward, punched the zombie in the chest, and then stomped on its head until it was crushed.
AK12 calmly drew his dagger: "Five minutes, Commander."
"Let's go first then. We'll wait at the entrance, but we need to buy some time for more people to get out..."
Although there are no troublesome zombies like Lickers here, as the crowd is constantly attacked by zombies, their numbers are increasing and even starting to surge. From the initial incident location, many zombies have begun to pour into Hall 3 where they are located.
