Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 400

Goodbye, Miss Pascal, have a nice evening.

"See you."

The construction of the Martyr was not difficult; overall, it went quite smoothly. Pascal thoroughly enjoyed this pure scientific research time, free from external distractions, and could simply immerse himself in his own world.

The relationship with this new friend was also very pleasant. Not only did the friend possess some knowledge that I had never even heard of before, but the friend was also very down-to-earth and generously shared his knowledge with me, and we studied it together. For a researcher, this is truly an ideal friendship.

Therefore, once the research began, she never doubted her new friend's motives, but simply moved forward, relentlessly exploring technological advancements in autonomous humanoids until she achieved her and Gray's vision...

AI that truly possesses self-awareness...

......

"It seems that Miss Pascal's wish will definitely come true. He may be a little troubled at first, but he will definitely be very happy later."

Inside the laboratory, Aether looked at the quiet, composed girl before her once more. The cold light in her glasses gradually became clear under the incandescent bulb until it disappeared from sight, revealing a bottomless abyss-like gaze.

It seemed like a long-planned scheme, but when it actually came to this point, there was no initial surprise. In any case, you could never guess what this well-dressed woman was thinking. Was it a heartfelt congratulation, or a successful scheme?

She slowly walked to the screen, staring at the countless empty ports, as if looking at a heart riddled with holes, devoid of life's pulse, merely existing there, its meaning inexplicable.

"Not only Miss Pascal is curious, but the leader is also very curious: how far can machines go on their own? Are they truly destined to be forever bound to humanity, unable to break free?"

A square data card inexplicably appeared in my hand, covered with patterns. Just by looking at the linear flowing light effect, one could understand its epoch-making nature.

"And I'm also very curious... Martyr, what a good name. To give one's life for the principles one believes in. Even a machine, would it give everything for its beliefs, beliefs that transcend humanity?"

As the data card was inserted into the port, a massive flow of data surged into the entire facility almost instantly, causing the lights in the entire laboratory to flicker for a moment. The disk readers on the server units began to pop up and retract erratically, as if something was adapting to a new body, its fingers moving nimbly, preparing to brew something...

"They love him with all their hearts, and therefore follow him without hesitation. But what about you? Will you follow in their footsteps, or will you forge a completely different path?"

Aither slowly stepped back, gazing at the girl before her. The girl's eyes, composed of optical modules, cameras, and bearings, were slowly opening. It was truly abnormal; they hadn't been activated yet, but the girl had opened them prematurely. She had seen this world ahead of time, seen Aither, saw the slightly dejected female researcher's back, saw the pale laboratory, saw her sisters, and the goals they would pursue...

She felt the cold transistors, the place where her "soul" resided, cold and lonely. She had a strong desire to escape and reunite with her sisters. It seemed to be an innate calling; she had to see her, the machine residing in another maintenance bay, her sister, Natia...

She had never imagined something so complex. The primitive emotions and thoughts that had arisen since humans shed their hair and stepped onto the ground filled the mechanical girl's cloud map. This was no longer a rigid calculation limited by logic circuits and underlying logic; it was an electrical signal of consciousness equivalent to that of the human brain, requiring server units of tens of square kilometers to store.

This is a miracle existing in the present world, the mechanism of mechanical consciousness that humanity is currently searching for and will continue to pursue in the future, existing within circuits that can be measured in Planck units within milliseconds...

At that moment, Rhine-Ensher seemed to hear something, but she forgot it; after waking up and uttering her first words, she forgot...

......

"The voice of God whispered in my ear..."

"She's finally back in my life..."

"Then where will this mechanical afterlife lead...?"

"The last signal still lingers here..."

"Was that just my imagination, or was it something someone did on purpose...?"

"That was the source of my fading dreams..."

......

Thus, the martyrs descended, and a new undercurrent, accompanying the birth of the maidens, began to surge, eventually forming a great tide that swept away everything we saw...

So, where should machines go in their next life...?

622 Escape immediately

Do you like biology?

"...Sorry, I don't like it."

......

Do you like biology?

"Are you out of your mind? Asking this kind of question in prison, who has the mind to look at that kind of stuff?!"

......

Such questioning is utterly ineffective; with so many inmates in the prison, how long would it take to find their target? Moreover, such prolonged questioning might arouse Umbrella's suspicion...

The company was understandably frustrated by this, and after several attempts throughout the day, it still couldn't find any useful clues.

When his exercise time ended, Essex returned to his cell with a troubled expression and lay down on his bed.

The company had a pretty good idea of ​​what would happen, but still tried asking, "Do you have any leads?"

"Absolutely not. Not only was the person being questioned extremely rude, but even people nearby who heard the question didn't react much."

Essex has had a tough time today trying to match this strange code. Almost everyone treats her like an idiot. If it weren't for the fact that she's a woman and the criminals suspect she might have some close relationship with Tirpitz, someone who likes to cause trouble would definitely get a beating.

However, the current situation is that people don't like them, but they don't dare to provoke them either, resulting in a stalemate.

Staring at the electronic lock on the cell in front of him, the company tossed and turned again, pondering its next move.

Now that he has told his teammates the code, judging from their current reaction, they will most likely return empty-handed. If they continue searching blindly like this, it will be impossible to find the target in the short term.

Just as he was at his wit's end, the bracelet on his left arm suddenly began to vibrate rhythmically. The man immediately understood the bracelet's purpose, quickly got up to check his surroundings, and then curled up in a corner...

"......Hello?"

Essex, who was on the upper bunk, noticed the company's movements and peeked out to observe their actions.

A moment later, Luo Fan's voice came from the bracelet in a very low volume...

"Hello, Enterprise, it's me, Commander."

"So the function of the bracelet is to allow us to communicate in a more discreet way, right?"

“Yes, the bracelet has undergone special demagnetization treatment, so normal security checks won’t detect anything. As long as you pay attention to controlling your behavior and movements, you won’t be noticed,” Luo Fan paused, then continued, “I’m contacting you this time to tell you that the plan has changed, and we need to take some more direct measures. We can’t delay any longer.”

Enterprise looked up and glanced around before noticing that Enterprise had also crawled over. Without saying much, it continued to reply to Luo Fan: "Understood. So what is the plan?"

"It's very simple. Tomorrow, create a riot. I will cut off the power to the entire prison and open all the cell doors, letting the prisoners pour out of their cells. At this time, you will take the opportunity to loudly discuss the contents of the code, so that the target will come to you on his own. You have five minutes. If the target does not appear within five minutes, you will leave directly through the transport passage behind Block C. I will send someone to arrange a truck there. After the surveillance is interfered with, no one will notice you. You just need to leave normally."

The entire action plan was quite clear, but this sudden change in the plan made the company even more suspicious that something unforeseen had happened...

"Commander, why has abandoning the target been added to the optional list?"

Luo Fan didn't mince words, saying in a deep voice, "Umbrella is very vigilant. After we exchanged the code yesterday, they suspected me and wanted to silence me after I left. But I managed to escape. Although I don't need to worry about your safety with your abilities, staying there would easily cause more trouble. So let's give up on this goal and go back to the quarantine zone to continue thinking of a solution."

At this point, the company's doubts were completely resolved, and they stopped asking questions: "Understood, I will inform the others as soon as possible."

"Well, all you need to do is create some conflict and make the information about the code spread around. Then let the target come to you on their own. If they don't come, just leave."

After giving his instructions, Luo Fan immediately hung up the phone to avoid arousing suspicion through excessive communication. Qiye continued to sit on the bed, deep in thought with Essex.

"I didn't expect this mission to end so quickly."

The company shared the same thought, nodding: "It's a good thing overall, we don't have to stay here anymore, but it must be because the situation has become tricky that the commander wants to end this mission early."

Luo Fan has always been cautious. Even though they haven't been here for long, the company believes that Luo Fan will definitely respond immediately if the situation takes an unexpected turn, and this is a prime example.

The next step was to inform others of the plan before the impending riots, and then wait.

And so, this scene unfolded the next day...

"Kaga, look at your skinny arms and legs. An aircraft carrier is just an aircraft carrier. What use is it to go to the battlefield? The commander needs your carrier-based aircraft, not you."

"Come on, Jiang Feng, see this table? I can do a lot more than that...!"

"Is your brain short-circuited? We wouldn't be holding back if you weren't so overworked."

"So destroyers just start making things up once they have a main gun?"

"Anyway, I remember that I wasn't the one who got chased and made to run for my life without a main gun."

"It was my own doing to cover for the team and bring those landlubbers back, because I don't throw bombs to make the scene chaotic during a fight."

"It's ridiculous. I don't need anyone to cover me when I'm fighting."

Two Sakura Empire ship girls had an argument on the eve of the riot, which prematurely ignited the criminals' emotions.

"Is this really okay?"

Essex remained worried, as this was far from the prison break they had initially imagined; the current situation was no different from simply walking out unimpeded.

However, the two Sakura Empire ship girls on the other side seemed to have no doubts about the plan at all and were already seriously involved in this stage.

The inmates joined in the commotion, their motto being "the more the merrier," determined to escalate the situation until the commotion became so great that the prison guards had to come and deal with it themselves...

"Stop arguing, be quiet!"

But Jiang Feng seemed completely oblivious, continuing through gritted teeth, "Maybe one day we can give it a try..."

"Oh, then you'd better pray that day never comes."

P.S.: Sorry everyone, I've been really annoyed lately by random posts and other things, plus I'm feeling quite anxious waiting for the Girls' Frontline collaboration in CODM, so I've been taking a break for a few days.

The prison break scene was originally supposed to be quite exciting, but I've been so stressed lately that I've forgotten exactly what the plot was supposed to be. So, I'll just skip over it quickly like this. Sorry everyone, let's wrap this up quickly and get back to our war. It's time for the androids to continue their story under the crumbling walls.

623 Riot

"All cell doors will open in one minute. Prepare yourselves..."

Lovan's reminder arrived again, and Enterprise and Essex looked up at the two Sakura Empire ship girls opposite them, a sense of tension rising within them.

"Hey you two bitches, shut the fuck up!"

The prison guard warned again, slamming his baton against the iron bars in front of him as a warning, but this only drew the attention of the two ship girls.

Kaga was still angry: "What, you want to get involved too?"

Even though she knew in advance that this argument was part of the plan, Jiang Feng brought up an accident caused by Kaga's mistake during an operation in the quarantine zone. Kaga already felt that she had lost face in front of all the androids because of this incident, but Jiang Feng brought it up again. How could she tolerate it?

The prison guard was clearly taken aback by Kaga's attitude and subconsciously took a step back, but then used the bars as cover to mock him again: "Oh, I'd like to get involved, but look at this iron bar, even my grandma's dentures can't bite through it. Why don't you try to think of a way?"

Hahahahahaha~

Laughter echoed throughout the prison, clearly indicating that the guards' taunts were well-received by the inmates.

However......

Drop~

In three seconds, all the cell doors opened simultaneously, and Kaga and the prison guard were no longer separated. The two looked at each other, and for a moment they were clearly in an awkward situation.

The criminals were the same; it wasn't time for exercise, and no one knew what this sudden opening of the door meant, so they all stayed obediently in their cells and didn't make any further moves.

But Kaga didn't care about any of that. He walked straight out of the cell, grabbed the prison guard by the collar with one hand, and said coldly, "Come on, tell me now, what do you want to discuss with me? Head down or feet down?"

"Come on, Kaga, what did she say?" For some reason, Tirpitz, who was in a cell above, inexplicably started to fan the flames: "If it weren't for your misplaced support, the others wouldn't have been chased all night without rest. Forgive me for being blunt, but she has already been restrained enough in what she said."

Eugen leaned against the wall of her cell, looking at Tirpitz with amusement. It was she who had come up with this terrible idea, intending to ignite a riot in the prison by relying on Kaga's violence.

It seems to be working immediately, although I don't know why Eugen didn't do it himself...

"what?!"

Kaga tossed the prison guard to the ground, his eyes suddenly turning fierce: "Try saying another word? He already said that there were too many enemies, and he had to resort to extreme measures, which led to the chaos on the scene!"

"Then what does this have to do with your incorrect support?"

......

Kaga snapped the corridor railing in half and pointed at Tirpitz: "Looks like we'll have to find some other ways to reason with them..."

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

This was a perfect opportunity for excitement, and the criminals immediately cheered. After all, who had ever seen such a beautiful woman who could break iron bars with one hand?!

“You’re right, White Fox, we need to find another way to solve this.”

Suddenly, Jiang Feng's voice rang in his ears. Kaga was about to turn around when he saw Jiang Feng rushing towards him at top speed, raising his hand...

He patted his own buttocks lightly. The base of his tail, hidden by Kaga, was invisible to ordinary people. However, Kaga could still feel it.

She was embarrassed and annoyed, and was about to retaliate when Jiang Feng jumped over the railing and leaped directly from the third-floor corridor to the first floor.

"Damn it, don't let me catch you!"

Kaga followed closely behind and jumped off the railing...

The prison guards arrived late and tried to maintain order. They had no clue what was going on, but as they passed the company's cells, Essex suddenly rushed out, pinned several guards to the ground, and gave them a token beating.

"Gentlemen, starting today, we should regain our freedom. Look at those two women, they dared to run away. What are you waiting for? If you don't like someone, let's settle things like men!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

The excitement ignited instantly, and the inmates rushed out of their cells, attacking nearby guards as they celebrated their "release party" in their own way. The Enterprise immediately followed suit, whispering, "Well done, Essex."

The two then took advantage of the chaos to jump down one floor and began looking for their target, occasionally asking, "Do you like biology?" Whether they could find him or not depended on their target's luck; they only had five minutes.
