He did not respond immediately; his eyes were filled with deep love, like the starry sky that seemed to have existed since time immemorial.
"It's not cold anymore..."
After a long while, he managed to utter a few words from his somewhat stiff throat.
He embraced the wolves and danced with them in this icy, snowy landscape.
Or perhaps, the snowy terrain is simply the Silver Wolf's home ground.
Moreover, she is the alpha wolf in the pack.
A few snowflakes landed on their faces, then melted from their body heat, turning into cold water droplets.
What kind of water is that?
......
We will cherish each other even more if we treat every day we spend together as if it were our last.
155 drones arrived
Team 404, has the drone reached the designated location?
"Expected arrival in five minutes."
"Received. Please begin reconnaissance of the Lawrence district immediately upon arrival."
"receive."
......
At this moment, because the wind and snow had become slightly stronger than a few minutes earlier, Luo Fan and the girls took refuge back in the van, using the extremely poor heating system to escape the cold.
To keep themselves warmer, the girls huddled together like bears preparing for hibernation.
It's a pity I can't be as warm as a bear...
But that's enough. The girls are already satisfied that they're willing to keep warm in this way.
"What, are you still feeling cold?"
The Dreamer sitting next to Luo Fan noticed a faint tremor emanating from the other person.
"Hmm...it's alright."
It wasn't actually that cold anymore; the occasional shivering was probably just a nerve reaction.
But there's a kind of coldness called "I feel you're cold"...
Since Luo Fan's body reacted in this way, the girls would naturally have such suspicions.
The dreamer, who was taking a necessary rest, suddenly looked at Luo Fan with a furrowed brow, as if Luo Fan had offended him.
That look made Luo Fan's heart tighten...
"Ah, well, actually it's still a bit..."
He tried to laugh it off, but the dreamer didn't give him that chance.
......
The Dreamer shifted his body and snuggled into Luo Fan's arms.
???
Hold me tight, it might keep me warmer.
She took Luo Fan's hand and placed it in her lap, like a black hand warmer.
Luo Fan tried to loosen his grip, but found that the Dreamer had already locked his hands firmly.
It is indeed quite warm, but maintaining one position for too long can cause your arms to get a little sore...
With the slightest movement, he would rub the Dreamer's lower abdomen. Although the other party was in human form, this raw body was just too...
When AN94 realized that Dreamer had changed positions, it moved closer to Luo Fan's side.
They huddled together like a pack of wolves seeking warmth in the snowstorm—cold, but not helpless.
AK12's long hair clung to Luo Fan's face as she moved, causing a slight itch, but Luo Fan had no intention of brushing it away.
Actually, things aren't so bad if things continue like this...
But there will always be situations that mess up your life...
"Commander, the drone is about to be in position. Please make sure you are ready to evacuate immediately."
In the headphones, the sound of the M4 was like a silver needle falling to the ground, clearly audible in the quiet van.
Luo Fan and the girls' sleepy eyes perked up a bit.
"...Received, awaiting drone arrival."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dreamer released Luo Fan's hands and crawled out of his arms so that they could move more easily.
Everyone picked up their gear, put on their masks, and prepared to return to the snowstorm once again; AK15 opened the trunk door and was the first to jump out of the car.
Just a few seconds later, a gust of cold wind rushed in, causing Luo Fan to shiver.
But for a military doll like AK15, it's just a regular air conditioner. The jacket she's wearing is simply to make her look like a normal person; otherwise, wearing a crop top in the snow would be too...
Regardless, Luo Fan mustered his courage and got off the bus with the girls through the side door.
As soon as he poked his head out, his bangs were whipped around in the wind, making it hard for him to open his eyes.
"Hiss... It's so cold."
Luo Fan couldn't help but gasp.
Fortunately, the weather is just generally cold, and the wind and snow have shown signs of decreasing. At present, it is possible for humans to see the surrounding environment clearly, and it will not affect the normal flight of drones.
Lovan lowered his breathing rate to adapt to the current temperature.
At least the frequency of body tremors has decreased significantly, and the resulting discomfort has also been significantly reduced.
AK15, who had gotten off the bus earlier, began to observe the sky. She picked up her "AK15" and stood in the wind and snow, like a statue that had been watching over this place for a long time.
At the same time, several small black objects appeared in the sky...
"coming......"
AK15 low-frequency channel.
Everyone's attention was drawn to her whisper.
Coming, what is coming?
With nothing around them, they could only look up at the sky along with the AK15's upward angle, and at the same time, they noticed those few small black things.
At the same time, M4's call came through the earpiece.
"Commander, we have arrived in the Lawrence district and have located your position."
"We've also spotted a few drones, but let's exchange some codes to confirm them and also to record the characteristics of our friendly drones."
"receive."
M4 at home switched the TV screen to the drone's feed and said to Squad 404 on the balcony, "Squad 404, send the code to the commander."
"receive."
Everyone looked at the drones in the sky and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although they were fairly certain it was a friendly unit, they couldn't be completely at ease. After all, it was impossible to go through the code every time a drone returned. If it were an Umbrella or White Eagle military drone, they might not be able to detect it immediately, and they might even need Squad 404 to confirm whether it was a friendly drone...
After a while, several drones lined up neatly in the air, and swayed three times to the left and then twice to the right, mainly in the direction of Luo Fan, to represent the effect of "three to the left and two to the right".
Luo Fan felt a little relieved.
"This is the commander. The code has been confirmed. We can begin operations at any time."
In the scene, Lovan and the girls walked a few steps forward and arrived in the Lawrence neighborhood.
"Understood. Begin operations in 30 seconds."
"and many more!"
Luo Fan suddenly called out to M4.
M4's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"The route information you provided might not be enough. Please send me a map of Raccoon City."
"Oh well."
I thought something had happened and Umbrella had found out...
M4 then took a picture of the map in front of him and sent it to Luo Fan.
"Good guy..."
The map was covered with markings and phrases, and Luo Fan could hardly make out the connection points between the various routes.
M4 added: "Commander, please note that although the map has been marked, considering the time and the movement of zombies, these markings may no longer be valid. Please refer to the information we provide."
"Received. We are ready to begin operations."
Ultimately, this map was only used to better confirm the specific direction of the route provided by the M4; Luo Fan really didn't intend to use it to get back on his own.
Now, the girls are their own eyes...
Action 156
Luo Fan and the girls quickly crossed the road and turned into the alley on the left. They then proceeded in a planned manner in the maze of alleys, as if they knew the way by heart.
But that's not the case; someone became their lighthouse and beacon, guiding them on their next path.
"Right, left, leave the alley, move 200 meters in a straight line to the north of the block, then turn left into Alley No. 4 in the Carlisle block. The zombies in this area have been cleared and there has been no large-scale movement."
"Received, proceeding along the designated route..."
The drone overhead provided a clear view of the area within 500 meters, allowing the girls to spot where there were zombies and where the road conditions were poor, and to take timely evasive action.
The AR team and the 404 team cooperated with each other, with one providing information and the other making decisions. They had planned the commander's next route in detail, and no matter what unexpected situations might occur, they had taken double precautions in advance.
"M4, King's Road, the same location as last time."
RO pointed to a corner on the map, the neighborhood where they had last carried out a cleanup mission with the commander.
M4 nodded and then said, "Commander, please note that you have entered King's Row. This area used to have extremely high pedestrian traffic. Please take cover."
After M4's reminder, Luo Fan also remembered the location.
The last time they killed that corrupt official, Joseph Doyle, was in a crowd.
This area is the wildest place in Raccoon City at night. Social celebrities from different regions come here at night, either to gain fame and fortune, to indulge in debauchery, or to vent their desires. In any case, this is the area with the highest traffic in Raccoon City.
Now, they need to pass through this area...
"Received. Could you report on the situation in the neighborhood?"
The group climbed over a roadblock and entered an alleyway on King's Road, hoping to leave the block from the side and avoid high-risk areas.
M4 glanced at the screen. King's Row was currently teeming with zombies, completely unchecked. It was safe to say no one wanted to get involved in this mess...
As the drone controlled by 45 flew over the block, she also saw what was happening below.
"It's spectacular, it's exactly like the protests in Bremen."
She couldn't help but sigh.
But no one responded to her; everyone was focused on the task at hand and dared not be distracted in the slightest.
If they accidentally misread or overlook something, that thing might become the danger the commander will face next.
M4, located in the living room, said through its headset: "All drones, 90° overhead view."
In an instant, the surveillance footage on the television screen all changed angle, pointing directly at the area below the drone.
They were able to see the neighborhood within a 500-meter radius.
The girls couldn't help but frown; this was far too much...
"Let the commander withdraw from King's Row; the risk seems a bit too high."
The dog knew very well what this number meant; her expression revealed her inner worry.
Even for them, it would be quite difficult to escape unscathed, let alone a commander who only has a small squad.
