Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 429

......

“Aphrodite, Vulcan and I intercepted more than seven targets on the emergency staircase. Request the cleaning team to immediately dispatch personnel for cleanup…” Juno pulled out the Requiem Black tactical straight knife from under her skirt, displaying a completely different kind of fierceness: “The scene might get a little ugly.”

"I was bullied in the past, so I have to get my revenge now, or I'll be fired on my first day in office!"

......

"And the FBI agents, Dandre, to confirm whether they have a clear objective."

"Uh... wait a minute, have some coffee."

Upon hearing this, Aphrodite's displeasure immediately surfaced: "This is a serious mission now, protecting Yingque. There's no joking around. Besides, any expenses you incur here won't be counted. Is it really necessary to wait like this?"

In the coffee shop where Yingque and her group had just left, Dandelion sat by the window where they had been, operating a laptop. The cool, black-haired girl now had a scarf, giving her an unexpectedly cute and innocent look.

“I’ve told all the Nietos in Paradis not to offend the intelligence department, whether it’s me or Melper. Otherwise, we won’t be the ones who suffer losses and have to take responsibility in actual combat. Besides, most of the time I’m needed is during my rest time. You should understand what I mean.”

"Tsk, well..." Aphrodite knew he was in the wrong, so he could only nod and say, "Then hurry up."

"Alright, we have the results."

Before Aphrodite could ask any questions, surveillance footage and identification information related to the FBI agents on site were transmitted to Cloud Atlas.

Dandley further explained based on the information: "Their identities have been confirmed as being from the FBI, but we were unable to hack any information related to the operation's objectives. Perhaps they're just taking a vacation and visiting 'Dynasty'?"

"Stop joking, they definitely have a purpose, otherwise they wouldn't have shown up in groups of several... Never mind, I'll have the others hurry up and close the net, you can just relax and enjoy your coffee."

"Wish ya'll good luck."

呲~

……

"Well then, we should go find an old friend..."

After finishing the last chocolate donut, all that was left on the table was half a cup of hot coffee. Dandley picked it up, took two sips, and walked out of the store.

And another unexpected VIP has arrived here...

688 A Passerby in a Dynasty.2

Dandley had noticed this man's presence long ago when the Commander and Thomson were carrying out a thorough purge of the various gangs. He never expected to see him here again...

Melper wanted to bring in other people from Umbrella or the Fallen Eagle private military contractors, but bringing in this guy was Dandley's own idea.

On the way to the destination, Dandelion gave a wink to all the Nietos who were on standby in the mall. They seemed to understand, bowed, and then retreated, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Dandelion, we are in position..."

"Understood, wait for my message."

......

After arriving at the back of the stage on the first floor and passing through the heavy iron gate that customers are prohibited from approaching, you will find the location of the machine room and warehouse. Further down from here is Paradis's secret underground laboratory and one of the command centers. However, before you can access the elevator, you need to go through multiple identification processes, including fingerprint, iris, and facial recognition. In most cases, these functions are not really needed.

Because all the members of Paradis are Nieto, only Pascal and Lovan's bio-information can be effective here...

And one person was blocked in front of that elevator...

"There's no need to try. No computer in this era has the computing power to crack this system."

In the dimly lit corridor, Dandre's cold voice echoed continuously, and the protagonist, after this "well-intentioned" reminder, seemed to realize that Dandre was telling the truth and stopped what he was doing.

"Albert Wesker."

After finishing his coffee, Dandelion casually placed it on a bench in the corridor and focused his gaze on the man in the black coat in front of him.

He slowly turned around, his smug smile unsettling: "Looks like my name is more well-known in New York than I thought?"

"We're all just ordinary nobodys," Dandrei said coldly. "It's just that some of us happen to have heard of you. What, Umbrella's getting restless, planning to switch sides?"

"Not at all. It's just that, as before, we're here with good intentions to request cooperation from your company."

After saying that, Wesker produced a test tube containing a small amount of purple liquid... Dandley frowned slightly. Sincerity seemed genuine, considering that Wesker still chose to come here to "seek cooperation" after being clearly rejected last time. But this test tube might be more than just a bargaining chip for cooperation.

Wesker twirled it twice in his hand, then said, "Reverse Kabbalah factor."

really...

But Dandre still scoffed at this: "You're not the only ones who have it."

“Of course I understand, otherwise why would I represent Umbrella to cooperate with you?” Wesker laughed again. “Since we share the same research direction and both occupy the largest share of the entire White Eagle Pharmaceuticals industry, why not cooperate and seek a win-win situation?”

Win-win? Ha...

“Sorry, we didn’t think about a win-win situation,” Dandley tilted his head, feigning shock. “The two companies will eventually become one, so why can’t that one be Gray Biotechnology?”

Having said that, Dandley raised his hand, his index finger and thumb about to clink together...

"It seems you don't yet understand what we'll be facing in the future?"

......

"tell me the story?"

The slightly lowered arm indicated Dandre's interest in the matter.

“The biohazard we are facing is not just the biggest problem humanity needs to solve right now,” Wesker said, looking at the inverse Kabbalah factor in his hand, a hint of crimson light glint in his sunglasses and the angle of his pupils. “Underground, the deep sea, thousands of miles away, humanity’s enemies exist in every unexpected corner. We need a biohazard to weed out those who cannot adapt to the times. The cure to save everything is now in our hands…”

......

"Of course I know all that you're talking about."

"what?"

......

Wesker thought that what he had mentioned would be enough to arouse anyone's vigilance and interest, but the girl in front of him still showed an indifferent attitude, even saying, "She knows it too."

How did she know, and how was she able to remain calm?

"This is an opportunity to bring about change. We have the power to change the existing landscape. Umbrella now extends an invitation to everyone to cooperate and step into that future that is not far away, still unknown, but unavoidable."

“On behalf of all the owners of Gray Biotechnology, I express my rejection.”

【despair】

With a sudden snap, the Nietos appeared from every corner of the corridor, surrounding Wesker in the center.

Dandley's face turned completely cold...

Moving towards that future, only he and we exist; there will not, and cannot, be another group that can stand on equal footing with us...

Those threats are ones that only we can face; we don't need an Umbrella.

......

"What a pity..."

Wesker removed his sunglasses, and a striking red light flashed again, even more eerie than the microwave radiation emanating from the infrared vision and laser module. It was like an illusion, or perhaps an invisible leak of murderous intent. In any case, everyone present understood one thing: the negotiations had completely broken down.

"I thought we could work together to create a future that better suited our wishes..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wesker appeared in front of Dandre, his raised right hand about to touch the girl's neck, but Dandre raised her hand instead.

【Boom】

"Sorry, this 'we' does not include Umbrella."

With just a casual wave of his hand, Wesker felt an extremely strong shockwave that pushed him away with absolute repulsive force. If it weren't for the enhanced effect of the Ouroboros virus, he would have definitely crashed into the elevator door behind him due to the impact.

Upon closer inspection, the dignified young woman did not stagger despite the attack, which was almost invisible to the naked eye; she remained standing in place.

Damn...

Dandley raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "Looks like someone is so impatient that they're imposing their future on themselves ahead of time?"

“Of course,” Wesker put away the test tube and composed himself again. “When lambs foresee their fate of being slaughtered, they might choose to jump out of the sheepfold or even kill the sheepdog, provided that the lambs really do see it clearly.”

The second disappearance followed, with Wesker pinning down one of the Nieto beside him: "And you, obviously, didn't..."

Having said that, he prepared to step on Nieto beneath his feet...

689 A Passerby in a Dynasty.3

Even though the girls in front of him noticed his movements, they still did not act. Given their efficiency, it was impossible for them to remain unresponsive. Was the effect of the Ouroboros virus far greater than he had imagined, or were they completely emboldened by his actions?

Wesker wasn't entirely sure, but this was the only way he could currently send a message of threat. Without a full understanding of the extent to which the Ouroboros virus would enhance his own capabilities, this was the only option...

【boom】

He stomped down hard, but it produced a sound Wesker had never expected—the sound of metal deforming...

what?

......!

The girls suddenly swarmed towards him. Wesker quickly raised his hand to parry the nearest target in order to assess their strength. However, the punch was far more powerful than he had imagined, and he was forced to stagger nearly two meters before leaning against the wall of the corridor.

The girl whose head he had just stepped on slowly got up from the ground, her face only slightly deformed from the impact...

Metal, Wesker realized...

"Stronger and more powerful than I imagined... but so what? Is that what allows you to venture into Gray Biotechnology on your own?"

Dandelion walked slowly forward and stopped about four meters away from Wesker. His utter disdain poured out from his cold, piercing eyes, which infuriated Wesker.

I always thought Umbrella was at the forefront of global scientific research, but now there's something completely beyond my imagination, something even the groundbreaking Ouroboros virus couldn't contend with, and it's even a young girl...

He couldn't even hurt her in the slightest; even the only one he attacked only suffered minor injuries...

No, we can't stay here any longer. He's no match for us. We need to speed up our research!

"Where do you want to go?"

"Perhaps I can't change your minds here, but surely you can't keep me here either?"

"..."

Indeed, the difference in speed was evident; no one present could keep up with Wesker's pace. If it weren't for his own superior computing power, which allowed him to detect Wesker's movements, he might not have been able to react and defend in time. Furthermore, his own severe lack of knowledge about attack types...

"Looks like I was right?"

"Hmm~?"

If possible, she still hoped to keep the reverse Kabbalah factor in his possession; Gray's research needed it...

Commanding Nieto nearby to help contain Wesker? That doesn't seem realistic either. Nieto inside the mall is unlikely to abandon the operation to come and support us at this time. Going to such lengths would easily alert the FBI. After all, tonight, there are more than just two pharmaceutical giants and some obscure private military contractor active in "Dynasty".

While pondering, Wesker charged forward at high speed again, seemingly targeting Dandelion once more. Dandelion immediately used his field shield to defend, but Wesker used this opportunity to move behind Nieto and his group.

"As expected, the benefits that the reverse Kabbalah factor brings to both sides are limited."

The advantage of speed restored Wesker's confidence, and the sunglasses were back on his face.

Dandre really wanted to rip those sunglasses off right now...

The Nietos around him gradually lowered their guard and became less wary. They all knew that they couldn't keep up with Wesker, and that Wesker had no ability to pose a threat to them here. In other words, he planned to retreat.

Dandley raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "We don't rely on any factors; we rely only on ourselves."

"Ha, I hope you'll still have the same attitude when we meet again."

Wesker raised his hand in an awkward gentlemanly gesture: "Well then, see you next time."

"Walk slowly."

......

At the same pace, Wesker had completely disappeared down the corridor. Perhaps the surveillance cameras wouldn't have been able to capture his image, but this direct confrontation did provide Dandre with some information.

Umbrella was more impatient than imagined, even using the virus on itself, but they mastered a way to control it, and the reverse Kabbalah factor... Paradis was not the first organization to notice the existence of this substance.

Their research progress isn't much faster than Gray's; there's a fundamental gap in technological level... But the question is, how did they discover the existence of this thing?

"Sister Dandelion, can I apply for free repairs?"

Nieto, who had just been pinned down by Wesker, appeared behind Dandelion, looking pitiful and completely lacking the fierceness and professionalism he displayed when confronting Wesker.

Dandeley, known for his easygoing nature in Paradis, naturally agreed: "Of course, go back to the company to see Pascal later, and I'll give you two days of paid leave to rest well."

"Really? Thank you, Sister Dandley! If there's nothing else, we'll be going now?"

"Well, let's go."

......

As the Nietos left one by one, Dandrei put his hands back into his pockets and walked towards the iron gate he had come from.
