After saying that, Chris silently lay down again, but at least his hands didn't stop. He started using his phone to send messages to Luo Fan's men, saying that someone had specifically asked to meet him by name.
It's best not to pry into Boss Luo's private affairs, lest I accidentally get involved and things become complicated.
But after dealing with the rough men, the girl behind him became curious again.
"Who were those people just now, looking for Luo Fan...?"
Since we've mentioned Boss Luo, his wife is naturally indispensable as well. In Donghuang's view, there should be such a thing.
Yingque appeared behind Chris at some point, asking questions with a blank expression.
Chris, oblivious to the girl's expression behind her, continued in her languid manner, replying, "They must be Mr. Luo's friends, here to discuss something with him. I told them to go back and wait a while."
"friend......"
Are they really just friends? They don't seem like it. What kind of friend would come to your door and act like this?
Regardless of whether or not there is any claim of friendship, Yingque is now suspicious of these people whose identities are unknown but who want to find Luo Fan.
She could still sense that even after they were back together, he was still hiding many things from her. Since that was the case, she would use her own methods to investigate and find out the truth...
For example, who were those guests who didn't drink earlier...?
“Aphrodite, Freyne…”
She spoke slowly, and the next second, two women from the bar appeared in front of her, their faces cold and stern.
"What can I do for you?"
"I am here..."
"Go investigate the identities of those people from earlier. If you can find out their professions and other details, that would be even better."
......
Based on Aphrodite's understanding of Yingque, she was definitely starting to worry about Luo Fan again, but Luo Fan wasn't telling her anything... so she decided to try to find out what Luo Fan was doing herself.
But this doesn't conflict with their goals. Besides, they are also suspicious of these unfriendly soldiers. Finding out who they are would be beneficial to both Luo Fan and Ying Que, wouldn't it?
"Understood, give us some time."
After saying that, the two left the bar and quickly caught up with Chris and the others who had already disappeared.
......
"She's starting to grow her claws and fangs."
In the living room on the second floor, Nekitia slowly conducted the orchestra members in their performance; a simple sonata helped the bar start a new day.
But that didn't stop her from using her ears to observe what was happening to the girl.
Morse understood the implication, but could only sigh helplessly: "The princess is growing up much faster than expected, both in the present world and in plague."
"Isn't the bishop worried about this? If she goes astray because of this, won't it affect Mr. Luo?"
She continued waving her baton, her composed demeanor seemingly implying indifference, but for everyone in the living room, it was certainly a serious topic.
“How could I not care? I just don’t know where to start…” Morse slowly shook his head, brushing his disheveled long hair aside. “To be honest, I really can’t figure out what the princess is thinking. It seems to stem from her love for the king, but it also seems to be some kind of inexplicable hatred. Her emotions are too complex and chaotic, so much so that when the claws in the shadows materialize, they are already too powerful for us to interfere with.”
Simply put, those shadowy figures around her are just too powerful... she's basically powerless to stop them now...
“Then let’s continue to observe and wait to see how the story unfolds,” Nekitia smiled gently, then lightly pressed down her baton, ending the piece: “But I will always stand by Mr. Law’s side…”
745 Performance Test
P.S.: I recommend listening to "21st Century Monster" by Aviators for a better reading experience (it's my favorite singer, and I might use his songs frequently in the future, so give it a listen).

18: 42pm
White Eagle, Junction City, Kansas
......
"Prepare to arrive at the designated location, Adeline. The test is about to begin. Please prepare for landing."
"......Understood."
The helicopter door slowly opened, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, lifting the long skirt of the black-and-white-haired girl. But she remained unfazed, just as she had been in the past. Rather than calculating today's wind speed, she was more concerned with where to begin.
Now that the entire state of Kansas has fallen, just like Colorado where Raccoon City is located, no part of it has been spared. With the military's withdrawal, this place has become an excellent testing ground. Adeline can improvise and unleash all her potential without any restrictions, but of course, she can't go too far.
It depends on her wishes...
The eagle's nest and the kestrel were placed aside, ready to go. Two beams of red and blue light emanated from the camera, like the eyes of an aerial demon, gazing down upon the entire land. Yes, the girl, with her two heterochromatic pupils, looked down upon the entire quarantine zone.
The listless, desperate military and survivors—every living thing was a potential target for her, something she had her eye on...
“Adeline, Dr. Pascal said that this test is crucial for you, as it determines whether your performance needs further adjustments. The Commander’s plan will also begin in three days. If you want to meet the Commander as soon as possible... you need to perform well and put the doctor’s mind at ease.”
The pilot's retelling caused Adeline's heart to tremble slightly, but she only nodded slowly. Of course, she couldn't possibly be unaware of the importance of this test.
"..."
"Little sister Adeline, it's time to get ready."
"Ah."
......
"Countdown to landing: 3, 2, 1, Drop!"
【puff】
As soon as the words were spoken, in a flash, Eagle's Nest and Red Falcon took off and began to fly downwards. Adeline also grabbed Eagle's Nest's support and used it to fly. This was the flight function that Metis had mentioned. The presence of the two carrier drones would allow the humanoid to transfer in the air and could perfectly support the weight of the humanoid and the carrier drones.
Unlike the shaky ride of the TAC50 when it was picking up the Barrett, it was quite stable and handled with ease. After all, the Eagle's Nest is half the height of a person and wider than a person, and it also has vertical take-off and landing capabilities. Pascal originally planned to convert the Eagle's Nest into a small jet engine, but the current technology does not allow it, so he can only continue to make do with rotorcraft.
In the air, Adeline's vision module locked onto several survivors running through the streets. They appeared to be swarmed by a group of zombies. With night approaching, they needed to hurry to the nearby safe zone for refuge, a golden rule for survival in the quarantine zone.
"Target locked."
As calibration cursors appeared in her field of vision, Adeline raised her rifle and aimed it at the living creatures below...
“Wait, Adeline, let’s test these new features.”
Metis suddenly spoke up, and after a brief moment of thought, Adeline agreed.
"Alright... Consciousness separation in progress... Synchronized with the Red Falcon... Complete, annihilation order."
After the girl spoke, there was the sound of metal clashing. These sounds were like melodious chants, showcasing the beauty of machinery. Several small drones flew out from the falcons and began to attack the living and dead creatures on the ground at an even faster speed.
......
"Run faster, it's going to be completely dark soon!"
"Damn it, there are too many of them, we can't shake them off!"
"Where are the ultraviolet flares?!"
"We've already used it all up!"
The survivors on the ground were running for their lives, frantically leaping over one wrecked car after another, hoping to use these obstacles to keep the zombies behind them, but with little success. These monsters didn't care about appearances at all; efficiency was their top priority. In addition, the physical strength provided by their mutations allowed them to cross obstacles at an even faster speed.
Is there really no way to escape...?
Just as they were thinking this, a short gunshot interrupted their thoughts. Turning around, they discovered that several drones had appeared in the sky, like bats that emerge from the night, following closely behind them.
"What are those things?!"
"Drone!"
Someone was the first to notice something unusual. These drones looked quite unusual. Some of them were fairly normal under-barreled machine guns, while the other type... looked more like some kind of flying saucer than a drone, and had an extremely sharp ring of blades all over its body. How could you tell how sharp it was?
You can tell from the ease with which they cut through those monsters...
The drones were annihilating the zombies with extremely high efficiency, sweeping, cutting, and suppressing them, launching surprise attacks on the zombies from all angles. The fragile flesh was no match for the fierce mechanical assault, and in no time, the number of zombies behind them was significantly reduced.
"Are they here to support us?"
"See? They've cleared out all those monsters!"
"Wait, there seems to be something else in the sky..."
The group looked closely, their exhaustion from running causing them to overlook the image in the sky: two beams of light, one red and one blue, seemingly forming the shape of eyes. At first glance, it looked as if two eyes were staring at them.
And beneath those blue eyes, there seems to be something else...
"Is that a person?"
Someone noticed...
But the bullets arrived faster than their doubts...
......
"Sister Metis."
"Ok?"
"Kill them all."
"certainly......"
......
Amidst horrified screams, bullets and blades engulfed them. Those who thought they were saved soon met the same fate as the walking dead.
From the very beginning, the creatures running on the ground were within Adeline's target range.
She doesn't distinguish between friend and foe; her goal is clear: she's not just here to test performance, but also to take this opportunity to vent her anger.
Eagle Nest descended slowly, and the indifferent girl stepped onto the ground in her high-heeled boots. She passed by the corpses, then looked up. Her pack of wolves was still soaring in the air, keeping her alert and awaiting her next command.
The heartbeat detector allowed her to capture even more targets, and she discovered that she could do so much more now.
She covered her left eye, a smile that she couldn't stop spreading...
"Sister Metis?"
"what happened?"
"I really like this feeling..."
Her sharp canine teeth were revealed by her barely suppressed smile, and only then did she understand what "ecstasy" meant.
Commander, wait for me, Commander...!
746 Ecstasy
Her pace quickened, faster and faster, until the zombies couldn't keep up. Even the Nito members responsible for data recording had to frown and accelerate their input. They seemed to have overlooked something: they should have set more rules for Adeline; otherwise, such indiscriminate slaughter offered very little of any useful information...
In terms of performance, there is no doubt that the presence of Eagle's Nest and Red Falcon makes Adeline's invasion unstoppable. No target can get close. Even targets that are difficult for shipborne drones to deal with, such as Tyrant, will be killed by Adeline with a single shot.
"There's more...there!"
Adeline merely stared at the fleeing survivor, and "Young Eagle" followed closely behind, killing him with a burst of fire. This was the largest unprovoked disaster in the quarantine zone since the military's operation began. Adeline's targets were too broad; she killed anyone she saw, like a madwoman. With ten minutes left in the test, she was still trying to make herself happy.
"No, this is far from enough..."
Adeline picked up the survivor from the ground; the person was not completely dead yet.
Then, he slammed it hard onto the ground...
But Metis quickly delivered the message she wanted: "Sister Adeline, I've spotted three USS squads not far away, should we...?"
"...?!"
Before she could finish speaking, Adeline looked in the direction of the Red Falcon, her black pupils fixed on the heartbeat target sensed by the Red Falcon. Yes, this was the enemy that best demonstrated her abilities.
"I want to kill them myself..."
“Go ahead, Adeline. I’ll keep watch on the surroundings, but… they seem to have noticed us and are retreating?”
"Don't leave!!!"
The hysterical screams were terrifying. Adeline grabbed her rifle and sprinted towards her targets, even kicking aside cars blocking her path...
The three USS squads seemed to sense the danger behind them and turned around at the same time... Was it out of instinctive fear?
Their extensive training in coordination enabled them to react simultaneously without words, raising their guns in preparation for firing...
【Puff】
A visible ray swept past his side, and his companion, who was alive just a second ago, was torn to pieces.
What kind of weapon is this?
