Luo Fan replied irritably.
"If you want, I can get the medicine out and throw it to you."
Such a simple interaction, yet it was the most sincere greeting between them...
P.S.: Let's get some votes...
Route 161
As with the previous operations, everyone dragged their tired bodies back home, chatted briefly, and then went to prepare for a shower.
This time, Luo Fan was a bit smarter. He let the rebellious squad take turns washing first, and then obediently went back to his room. That way, when it was his turn, he probably wouldn't end up washing for an hour.
Although the Rebellion Squad might resort to breaking and entering...
However, I warned AK15 in advance to keep an eye on the others, and judging from AK15's attitude towards my orders, I should be quite at ease.
Right now, Luo Fan is sitting on the sofa, browsing recent news, especially the recent situation in Turkey.
Whether it's official media or independent media, almost everyone is talking about the current situation of the virus outbreak in Harlan. From reports to speculation, from debates to casual observation, there's something for everyone. There are even offers to pay someone to take you to Harlan for a real zombie movie experience...
In any case, there were basically no official details released by the authorities. The general public only knew that an unknown virus had broken out and what the arrangements for the Games would be.
Judging from the current situation, the Games cannot be held. First White Eagle, then Turkey, some cities in both places have been severely affected, especially Turkey, which has even spread beyond Harlan to surrounding towns, with quarantine zones covering a large part of the area.
Now, the whole country is suspicious of White Eagle. After all, White Eagle was the first city to be affected by the outbreak, and given White Eagle's consistent style, even LHG is suspicious of White Eagle.
"Tsk, how could they not find it? Umbrella has practically turned Raccoon City upside down, and there's not a whisper of it outside?"
Considering what has happened in the past few days, Luo Fan found it hard to believe that there hadn't been any discussion about it outside. Wasn't it the government's decision to just fly the helicopter into Raccoon City like that?
It's strange...
"Commander, would you like to shower first?"
45 leaned back on the sofa, watching Luo Fan scroll through his phone, his face full of laziness.
Without turning his head, Luo Fan replied, "You guys go ahead, I have something to do."
"alright."
Without lingering, 45 and his teammates returned to their room to retrieve their changes of clothes.
Lovan was still trying to find any relevant information, but after ten minutes he realized it was pointless.
They all love playing this information blocking game...
"never mind."
Luo Fan casually tossed his phone onto the sofa and patted M16 on the shoulder next to him.
"?"
M16, holding a bottle of Jack Daniel's, glanced at him sideways, seemingly waiting to hear his thoughts.
"Give me a drink too, I'm a little tired."
Luo Fan raised an eyebrow.
A second later, M16 handed the Jack Daniel's he was holding to Lovan.
"Let's drink straight from the bottle, we didn't bring the cup."
......
Luo Fan glanced at the executioner and alchemist who were drinking directly from the bottle and couldn't help but frown.
When he looked at M16 again, the other person was smiling at him, as if playing a little joke on him.
“…That’s fine.”
It's just 16 pigeons' saliva, it's not the first time, so let them drink it.
Luo Fan took the bottle and started chugging it straight from the bottle.
While Jack Daniel's should be enjoyed in a more "high-class" way, isn't this the kind of refreshing feeling they're having after a long day out, chugging it straight from the bottle?
Looking at Luo Fan, who had accidentally spilled a few drops of beer from the corner of his mouth, M16 smiled and shrugged, then pulled out a can of beer from under the table and started drinking.
Out of the corner of his eye, Luo Fan spotted a white jar that caught his attention.
"Why didn't you take it out earlier if you had it?"
Who would drink Jack Daniel's at a time like this? Holding the bottle up is exhausting...
"You didn't ask."
"..."
"Hahahahaha."
The executioner couldn't help but laugh. Dreamer and AA12, who were sucking on lollipops, looked at each other with disdain, completely unable to understand the humor in it.
This table is truly a gathering of adults and children, though it seems like only the dreamer is there...
Luo Fan ignored the other person and turned to look at the map that was still on the table.
The map wasn't taken away; instead, it was placed directly on the table, even with some food on top of it.
Luo Fan carefully observed the layout of Raccoon City, preparing to plan an evacuation route.
They are leaving tomorrow night, and it's only the early hours of the morning now.
Seeing that Luo Fan's expression had become serious, the girls also stopped their playful behavior and looked at the map on the table together.
The alchemist placed the rum he was holding on the corner of the table: "I'm leaving tomorrow night. Any thoughts?"
Through the data shared by 45, they all understood Luo Fan's overall plan and naturally showed great interest in it.
But just as Luo Fan was thinking, a somewhat cold and lazy voice came from behind him.
"By the way, I must remind you, Raccoon City is completely sealed off. Either you can climb over those 10-meter-high walls through the barbed wire, or you can sneak out through the checkpoints."
Everyone turned around and saw Victor carrying several pieces of clothing toward the balcony.
......
After Victor's reminder, everyone realized that Raccoon City had been sealed off and surrounded by high walls. Moreover, Raccoon City was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and although the entrance was not small, leaving here would not be an easy task.
Even though they had planned their route, as Victor said, they either had to climb over the wall or go through the checkpoint, but it seemed like a rather troublesome thing no matter how they looked at it.
However, at present, there are no other options available.
Luo Fan pointed to a gap on the edge of the map: "This is where Raccoon City connects to other areas. We can only go through here."
"How do we get there? Will they just let us walk right through the checkpoint?"
The dreamer put his legs up on the table, his face full of disdain.
But Luo Fan had some other ideas.
The checkpoint definitely needs power, and there might be some server hosts or something similar, and it just so happens that they have so many hackers on their side...
If possible, it might be possible to sneak out unnoticed. If all else fails, simply shutting down the entire checkpoint would be fine, although a power outage in such an area is probably not very reasonable.
But the crucial thing is that their whereabouts must not be exposed; if they are discovered, their future will be truly bleak...
Are you sure you want to go this way?
M16 asked in a cold voice.
"Unless you have a better option..."
The atmosphere suddenly turned a bit cold.
But they all knew that this was an essential discussion, concerning whether they could remain unscathed in this vortex.
"..."
162 Final Thoughts
"Okay, it's up to you."
M16 picked up his beer and took another swig, seemingly unconcerned about it.
But everyone understood M16's worries.
They are now in a dilemma: either stay here and be nuclearly bombed, or take a gamble and run away.
Although the nuclear explosion is still a few days away, the actual time they can stay is running out. In the coming days, Umbrella's people will likely appear more and more frequently, and they might become like rats in the street...
Even with so many resources left in Raccoon City, Luo Fan didn't dare to be greedy anymore. He only wanted to leave this hell on earth as soon as possible, because survival was the most important thing.
All he wants now is to go on vacation with the girls and spend his days in bars.
“Then it’s decided. When Sister 45 has time, we’ll have her prepare the presentation and share it with everyone.”
Now, there is no longer any time or opportunity for him, the decision-maker, to hesitate any longer; he must be more decisive in such a life-or-death matter.
If necessary, he's capable of killing everyone at the checkpoint and blowing up the server.
After all, no one is more important than his family... The others? They're all dead.
"By the way, executioner, remember to stay calm. If you lose your temper, none of us will get a good drink."
Luo Fan gave one last reminder, then finished the last sip of Jack Daniel's in the bottle and headed to the Rebellion Squad's room to get his change of clothes.
"Alright, alright, I know, I'm not stupid..."
The executioner waved his hand irritably, as if she were some kind of ape.
.......
When they returned to their room, the Rebellious Squad was already asleep.
Luo Fan slowed his movements, opened the wardrobe at an extremely slow pace, took out his clothes, and then gently closed it.
After all that, the girls were still sleeping soundly, seemingly unaware that a man had entered their room. Luo Fan was relieved, thinking that no one would disturb him this time.
After closing the cabinet door, Luo Fan intended to simply take the clothes and leave the room.
But after placing his hand on the doorknob, he hesitated for a moment...
......
The man turned to look at the girls on the bed, his cold gaze softening considerably.
They slept soundly like babies in swaddling clothes, seemingly untouched by the darkness and suffering of this world.
Looking at it this way, it's really hard to associate them with death pulling the trigger.
But this gentle side of them belongs only to themselves; only they can see it.
Luo Fan slowly returned to the bedside and leaned down to look at the sleeping AK12.
Despite being a tactical doll, Luo Fan could feel a faint breath on his face, bringing a small impact.
His head lowered further and further, and their noses seemed about to touch.
He felt his thoughts becoming somewhat blurred, as if some instinctive urge was trying to control him...
He struggled between letting himself go and being law-abiding; he wasn't considering the consequences, he was only focused on the present.
Just as their lips were about to touch, he suddenly pulled away slightly.
He frowned and looked the other person over, seemingly blaming himself.
A faint breath escaped from his nose and brushed against AK12's face.
After a while, he took his clothes and left the room.
......
After leaving the room, I happened to run into UMP9 leaving the bathroom.
"Oh, Commander, the bathtub has been refilled with water. You can go take a bath now. I'm going to bed with Sister 45."
"Well, thank you."
Luo Fan rubbed Xiao 9's freshly dried hair and then went into the bathroom.
Looking at the bathtub that was emitting bursts of steam, Luo Fan suddenly felt like laughing.
First it was him and the Rebellious Squad, then Squad 404 and Squad AR. This bathtub really did bear a weight he shouldn't have had to bear.
Luo Fan couldn't understand how such a bathtub could possibly contain all of them, these brilliant and promising talents...
For some reason, Luo Fan placed his hand on the edge of the bathtub and, almost unconsciously, uttered a sentence...
