Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 170

416 was in the middle area, where she was the safest. She could simply lean against the roadblock and slightly raise her phone.

"Come on... okay, let me see..."

The shooting was completed quickly, and 416 began checking the details of the photos.

Just as she and Luo Fan had thought, but with some slight errors, there were about a dozen tents, but hardly anyone could be seen, especially soldiers. They were either resting or civilians. Based on this initial assessment, the threat level immediately dropped sharply.

Not many soldiers were visible in the photos. Using the barbed wire as cover, 416 peeked his head out a little.

"..."

Even with my own eyes, there were still hardly any people.

After confirming several times, she slid down the slope and returned to the infiltration team's gathering place.

The same applies to 40 on the right. The area she filmed was a little further away than 416, but the situation was similar. There were some tents, some people eating outside, and some medical staff walking back and forth, seemingly taking care of the wounded. The vigilance was relatively lax, and it seemed that they did not take these non-human enemies seriously.

After getting the desired result, 40 also chose to return the way it came.

Xiao 9 chose the most dangerous filming location, near the main road...

She wanted to confirm the military deployment along the main road. It wasn't that they suddenly decided to exit through the main gate; it was just that she believed the military would usually be deployed along the main road. Observing this area would allow her to better assess the enemy's strength and react better in case of any unexpected events.

Fortunately, the White Eagle soldiers also erected stone barriers and barbed wire along the edges of the road, which gave Little 9 the opportunity to sneak in.

Without making a sound, Xiao 9 quickly climbed up the embankment and used his phone to check the situation on the main road.

"Ah, there don't seem to be many people..."

She didn't take a picture immediately. Instead, she turned on the camera, scanned the main road a few times, lay down under the obstacle to observe the situation on her phone screen, and then pressed the shutter button in the key area.

There wasn't much defense on the main road either; the overall defense was rather lax. If they wanted, they could probably break through directly through the front gate, as long as they weren't worried about the trouble that would follow...

These White Eagle soldiers would never have imagined that someone was "openly" taking pictures of them with a mobile phone right in their face, clearly seeing their deployment.

In what Xiao 9 saw, the soldiers behind the roadblock kept scanning left and right, seemingly on guard, or perhaps they were getting quite bored.

From this perspective, the other side's laxity will also be one of the factors that makes it easier for them to leave, which is truly satisfying intelligence.

Operation 201 begins

At the infiltration team's gathering place, the three were intently hacking into the main transformer box, completely oblivious to everything else. But suddenly, they heard a rustling sound behind them...

While being busy with work is unavoidable, there are some things you still have to face personally.

The moment the sound reached their ears, all three of them simultaneously raised their weapons and pointed them behind them.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait, we're on the same side!"

Luo Fan raised his hands, brushed the weeds off his face, crouched down from the bushes, and came to their side with the other members of the AR team.

AK12 was lying on the slope, and she didn't even need to look at it. She simply raised the gun and aimed it at the source of the sound, but the tone of the sound, which shouldn't have been there, still made her feel strange.

"Commander? What are you doing here now? Has the plan been moved up?"

Shouldn't the commander be with the core troops at this point, preparing to coordinate the infiltration operation? Has the plan changed?

Luo Fan waved his hand: "No, we brought the wire cutters. We're going to destroy the barbed wire and also help with your hacking operation. How's the progress?"

After the questioning ended, 45 placed his laptop screen in front of Luo Fan.

"The situation is very good. It should be completed within five minutes. Have the core troops prepare. Once you give the order, this place will be plunged into absolute darkness, and even the backup power will be unable to start."

When 45 said this, she was confident and smiling; she had complete confidence in her teammates' skills.

"Is that so...then we'll prepare to destroy the barbed wire."

Meanwhile, the three who had gone out to investigate returned to their gathering place with their weapons and cell phones.

"Hey, what brings the Commander here?"

"Hmm? Commander?"

"Eh???"

The three of them asked almost simultaneously: Had the plan changed? Why hadn't anyone told them?

"Ah, no, we're just here to remove the barbed wire and help with the work."

Luo Fan laughed awkwardly. It was indeed his fault for not informing them in advance, but there was nothing he could do. They were too close to the White Eagle Army, and contacting them rashly might have brought them even worse consequences. Since that was the case, it wouldn't hurt to explain when they met.

Seeing the reactions of the three hackers on the scene, it seemed that the current situation was still in progress, so they put aside their doubts and returned to normal.

Now that everything is ready, it's time for the main force to prepare to set off...

"The core force begins to move forward slowly and will reach the target area within three minutes. Do not rush. Our operation will begin immediately."

"This is the core force, RPK16, received. Begin moving immediately."

The dialogue is over, the core force is about to move, and the searchlights are sweeping to the right. Now is the perfect opportunity!

M4 and Lovan stayed behind to cooperate with three hackers to speed up the hacking process, while N16, Gouzi, and AR15 went to dismantle the barbed wire. The clear division of labor and the increased number of people further improved the efficiency of the operation.

The three climbed up the earthen slope and used their respective wire cutters to dismantle the barbed wire in different areas. Because the team was too large, it was impossible for everyone to pass through from one entrance. To make it easier to hide, Luo Fan planned to dismantle the barbed wire in three different concealed areas and enter the checkpoint from three different locations. As for the personnel, there was no need to make special arrangements, since they could meet up immediately after entering.

After a brief reconnaissance, confirming that no one had come to the area, the girls began to dismantle the barbed wire with wire cutters.

"click"

With a very crisp sound, the barbed wire snapped.

Create some distance, cut off the other opening, and carefully pinch the blade on the wire mesh to remove it.

AR15 was located close to the main road, and during the demolition process, she had to glance to the side from time to time to prevent anyone from suddenly turning around and looking at her.

However, after observing, she found that the entrance she was at was relatively safe. There were a lot of supplies piled up there, covered by many supply crates, and there was a tent next to it. She could also vaguely see brown crates piled together. They could hide here.

The dismantling process was quick; within a minute, the three were back at their meeting point, and at the same time, a distinct rustling sound came from the bushes behind them.

"commander."

The leader of RPK16 raised his hand to signal to Luo Fan.

"Hmm, how is Pascal?"

He's more concerned about her condition right now; if she can't hold on, they'll both be in trouble.

A slightly timid-looking girl spoke up from the back of the line: "Ah, I... I'm not bad..."

He knew that voice all too well; it seemed like he had recovered quite well.

The impatient man quickly walked to Pascal's side and touched the other's forehead and cheek with his hand.

"Hang in there a little longer, we'll be out of here soon."

"Um......"

Although he hadn't fully recovered, Pascal still managed to put on a small face, as if he had a strong desire to tell the man in front of him, "I'm fine."

The wry smile on his face only meant "I believe you"...

"Alchemist, keep carrying her. The Executioner, M870, and AA12, those shield-wielding guys, will be watching you."

"Well, I see."

The alchemist had no objection to this.

"Now you know, protect Miss Pascal and don't let her get hurt."

"Ah."

This was the unanimous and unquestionable answer from the girls.

On the other side, preparations were also made...

45 turned around: "Commander, the backdoor and virus implantation are complete and ready to be executed immediately. We are just waiting for your... your command."

"it is good."

Now, everything is ready. Just press Enter at 45, and the place will instantly plunge into darkness. This will be the perfect time for them to leave.

But the closer we get to success, the more we worry about failure, as we all know.

This isn't a game; at least not now. They don't have a second chance; success is the only option...

It's January 23rd now, and if he could, Luo Fan would absolutely love to go to their bar before the Lunar New Year...

Sitting together, watching TV, playing games, listening to music, eating, drinking...

Tsk, no, now is not the time to be indecisive, it's time to make a decision!

"45. Program execution in ten seconds..."

"Received, countdown begins..."

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

"6"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2......"

"1!"

【Enter】

202 “Better” Methods

"Om..."

After the Enter key was pressed, a loud roar echoed through the checkpoint, a sign of a power outage; the main transformer box also burst into intense sparks, and the temporary cables showed similar signs of damage—all within a mere five seconds.

The person who started all of this was sitting in a patch of tall grass, coldly observing everything before him.

Admittedly, everyone was tense when they pressed the Enter key. It wasn't that they were worried about any technical problems that might arise from the hacking, but rather about the attitude of the soldiers who were still on duty or sound asleep towards this matter.

If they don't take it seriously at all and just go about their business, it's fine; the checkpoint will just be darker, making it easier for them to leave. But if they become fully alert because of it, then leaving safely will become much more difficult...

Although the massive power outage would inevitably raise alarms among the White Eagle military, it was a necessary step. Being vigilant in the dark was better than walking under bright light bulbs; after all, the saying "the darkest place is under the lamp" wasn't used in this situation.

Clearly, such a sudden situation would trigger a stress response in them.

"Damn it, what happened?!"

"I don't know, the main transformer seems to be malfunctioning, and the backup power supply can't be started for some reason!"

"Damn it, damn it, we're still performing surgery here!"

"Get the technicians over here and restore power to me within five minutes!"

Luo Fan and the girls heard shouts and curses rising and falling from the earthen slope. Even an army would be caught off guard by the sudden darkness.

There was no other way; all the streetlights were out of power due to the city's paralysis, and the checkpoint was just a temporary outpost. Moreover, in this almost wilderness-like area, people rely heavily on artificial light at night. No wonder they could see the checkpoint's lights from a great distance. Even ignoring the searchlights, it gave the illusion that a large group of people were having a dance party on the road.

Now, all light sources have lost their effectiveness; it's practically pitch black...

Although everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, the massive blackout had already occurred, plunging the White Eagle military into chaos, but Lofan and his team did not immediately begin their operation.

They still need to observe how the military will respond to this...

If the military doesn't launch any unplanned attacks, they have a greater chance of leaving safely.

Just now, although amidst the chaos they seemed to hear someone of considerable status shouting for the technicians to restore power within five minutes, Luo Fan and the girls knew that this was impossible. They wouldn't even be able to find out where the problem was without at least 30 minutes, so there was still plenty of time.

Furthermore, they cannot directly inspect the main transformer box, as that would be too dangerous.

Even in the midst of chaos, soldiers are still soldiers, fundamentally different from ordinary civilians. The noise soon subsided, replaced by footsteps and whispers.

Luo Fan pointed to the top of the earthen slope: "Go check what's going on."

After saying that, Victor and 416 climbed up the earthen slope again to scout out the situation at the checkpoint.

With barbed wire as cover, the soldiers had little chance of noticing them, especially since the sudden power outage left them no time to pay attention to anything that was getting closer.

Viktor, hiding behind a stone barricade, was secretly observing three soldiers who were talking.

"By the way, did any of you see anyone approach the transformer box just now? These things should have a pretty low failure rate, right? Besides, it looks quite new."
