Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

Tools, that sounds really bad. She narrowed her eyes and slowly stroked the cold body of the assault rifle. To be honest, human hands don't have any temperature, just like this gun.

After things here were over and she returned to the United States, she decided to pay a visit to this arrogant and self-righteous intelligence officer.

Reverse tracking and positioning is not difficult, but the difficult part is confirming the identity.

But it's not a big deal, there is always so-called "collateral damage". Once it starts, there will inevitably be casualties.

Raphael counted on his fingers in his mind. Apart from the verbal threats of fighting on the Internet, this was the first time he had received such a direct threat.

In a sense, the humanoids at this stage are much more important than two high-value human units.

The pupils under her eyelashes expressed her mood more strongly than her lips.

It would be wrong to say that Raphael was not afraid. She knew that her current special status came from the fact that she could not be replicated in a short period of time, or that it would take a long time to replicate one.

This is the source of its status, because it is a prototype of a concept. Since concept products are only used to demonstrate concepts, there is no need to consider costs too much, so various engineering investments and R&D investments can spend more money to make one or several for demonstration purposes.

But it is very unstable. A breakthrough in human understanding of the relics may occur at any time, maybe tomorrow, maybe a week later, maybe half a year, or even take decades.

After the breakthrough in mind research, "Raphael"'s mission ended.

This seems too pessimistic, Raphael thought, and tried hard to mobilize the remaining computing power, bringing in the influencing factors currently taken into consideration and conducting a simple simulation.

She wanted to know what the tactical dolls could achieve after being separated from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the control of the United States.

She didn't last more than a year before she was strangled by the CIA, NSA and their special operations forces. She and her two puppets fled from place to place, and were eventually defeated due to a malfunction of their bodies due to lack of maintenance.

Raphael made a 'gurgling' sound from his mouth, like a squashed frog.

This ending is too bad.

If she wants to escape, she has to wait until there are self-disciplined bionic humanoids everywhere. Otherwise, there is no place for her in this world, absolutely not.

After many deductions, Raphael came to this ruthless conclusion.

It is conservatively estimated that it will take several decades before autonomous bionic humanoids can be seen everywhere.

How to show her value during this long period of time should be the guiding direction for all her subsequent actions. Being a killing machine alone is not enough, she needs to show more important value.

Raphael opened his eyes, his consciousness detached from his mind, and thought about how to deal with "Lily" and "Rose" next. The intelligence officer must have something unusual to value them so much.

Well, being active for so long in Fukuoka City, where the collapse and radiation are so serious, is itself an "abnormality".

This reminded her of the SHD agent named "Tony Gaggia". He was a very rare ELID adaptor who should only exist in theory.

Could it be that the two people who are going to meet us later are the adapters?

Chapter 147 It's all a trap

After walking into the city, Raphael and the other two took advantage of the cover of night to move quietly and swiftly through the streets and alleys.

After walking about 50 meters, she turned a corner first and then turned back suddenly.

Three people walked over from the nearest building. Their natural gait and figures wrapped in heavy protective clothing were the last people they wanted to see on this trip.

It was probably called AA-03D protective clothing. She was not sure of the exact name of the clothing. In the news report of the ruins of Mount Shinobu, the announcer mentioned this.

I don't care, so my mind doesn't make any special record of it.

Lingyin glanced around the corner cautiously and saw that the three people were ignoring their surroundings and were heading towards an entrance road they had chosen.

It's trouble. After she stepped back, she shook her head slightly towards Raphael and Asuka's expectant eyes.

——Countermeasures?

The hidden thoughts in Asuka's eyes when she looked at Raphael can be interpreted in this way.

Raphael just shook his head, rejecting all radical countermeasures.

They were unfamiliar with the area, had no guide and no aerial surveillance resources, and the radio condition was terrible. After calling for more than ten minutes, there was no response from the two CIA ladies.

Asuka joked that Raphael must have remembered the communication code incorrectly, otherwise he would have no reason to refuse to respond.

But they all knew that it was impossible to make mistakes. The important information was stored in the mental space and could be retrieved and reproduced when needed.

If there was an error, it would prove that there was something wrong with Raphael's mental core.

If direct combat is not the best option, it is necessary to keep observing the three people, understand their behavior patterns, and formulate a quiet and reasonable attack plan.

She didn't want this residential area to become a lively battlefield.

Raphael activated the shared vision and watched from Lingyin's perspective, carefully observing what the trio was about to do. They walked into the building and then separated.

One of them walked straight into the entrance, while the other two hid around the grass altar in front of the entrance, guarding the surroundings.

A few minutes passed and the man who had gone in returned. He sat down on the entrance steps and one of the two watchmen opened what was now the front door.

So, they were doing reconnaissance?

No doubt the man who had gone to open the door had glanced up the stairs, gone up and down, and tried the door again.

As he could not find anyone, he returned to report.

Could this mean that the person who just went in was the team leader?

From a purely observational perspective, the guesswork cannot be blamed for being random and aimless. This is what Suzune saw from her perspective. He did enter the building alone and then evacuated.

However, these three people are a bit stupid. They don't seem to know that such buildings have special emergency fire escape passages, which are always open no matter what.

foreigner?

The images of those Russian agents flashed through Raphael's mind. If it was them... they might not know much about the architectural design in Japan.

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense. If you act rashly without prior understanding, wouldn't that just be walking into a trap?

Laziness is not a good habit, it can kill you.

Raphael swung the HK416 behind him and pulled out his pistol. In this situation, its main advantage - relatively silent shooting - could be crucial.

Deep down, she really didn't want to fight.

Successfully receive the high-value target or package, avoid all troubles and easily board the evacuation plane or boat.

She tilted her head, avoided the two guys on guard downstairs, and successfully invaded the building from the evacuation passage on the other side. These were the specific coordinates provided by the intelligence officer.

It is not a lush park, nor a densely populated residential area with numerous corridors, but a low-rise office and commercial building?

A strange convergence point. Raphael didn’t understand the intelligence officer’s thought process. Perhaps there were other high-value items waiting to be recovered.

Maybe it was some treasure that could prolong one's life, so he was willing to pay any price...

But, how could there be such a thing? Raphael did not follow their previous agreement and walk at the end of the team.

Ultimately, she was still worried. In her opinion, Suzune and Asuka had experienced too little.

I walked carefully through the evacuation passage and found that the indoor fire escape was open as expected, but there was too much debris and garbage piled on the ground.

It was obvious that someone had already been hanging out in this commercial office building.

Everything is upside down.

Seeing the devastation, it's not hard to imagine the robbers taking extra care in their final search - knocking all the doors to pieces and ransacking every office.

When they reached the agreed floor, Raphael stopped. He played a rather bad joke on her right away. There was a thin gray line tied to the utility room near the door frame.

Trip wire, she squatted down and looked carefully at the corner.

This is definitely not a trap that ordinary people can set. It must be either a special operations personnel from outside or the big shot they are here to meet - the two young ladies, probably.

Apart from them, the only people who could get the grenades were the Self-Defense Forces who had performed law and order maintenance tasks in Fukuoka City.

However, providing grenades to Self-Defense Force soldiers who maintain law and order is a bit too extreme.

She looked closer and saw that the thin wire was connected to a metal fork that was pressed against the door frame.

Well, it seems that Raphael's thinking is too extreme. She imagined the simplest little warning method as a tripwire booby trap that hides endless murderous intent.

If someone moved a little too roughly, the thin wire would break and the metal fork would fall to the floor from a height of more than one meter.

The sound of the collision must have been very clear, and only a completely deaf person would not have heard it.

Pretty interesting little trick, and it means there's a pretty smart guy in that building.

There would probably be other surprises further down, which was why she had to lead the way.

Lingyin and Asuka inherited a lot of combat experience from her, but those experiences were actually Raphael's. Without personal experience, these experiences and knowledge will always be vague and unclear, and cannot be used clearly.

She had long wanted to find a place to set up some mechanisms and then let Asuka and Lingyin practice.

Unfortunately, when I was in the United States, all I did was puppet testing. After coming to Japan, the social environment does not allow this, so I can only look for opportunities in the future.

The guy who set up the warning device was really smart, Raphael praised in her heart. She took out a tactical flashlight and used the low-visibility red light to illuminate the tripwire, allowing the two people who were unaware of the situation to cross the building door.

After taking only two steps, she discovered a new mechanism: a triggered explosive trap disguised as a pile of debris.

If I saw it correctly, there was a grenade under the pile of furniture that took up about half of the space in front of me on the right. If anyone accidentally touched the extended chair leg, his lower body would disappear.

Chapter 148 The right to speak

There were quite a few small objects scattered along the way, and the sound of the soles of shoes crushing the debris didn't seem loud, but it could echo in the dead silence of the floor.

The corridor was in a mess, with all kinds of debris scattered all over the floor.

Bloody handprints and terrible marks left by fingernails can be seen on the walls from time to time. Some of them were caused by looting and smashing, while others were caused by ELID infected people attacking the building unconsciously.

Walking in this environment, it feels like playing a zombie game. Various details are silently stating the fact that the city is dead, and there is a feeling of desolation everywhere.

Coupled with the sound pickup and amplification function of the headphones, it sounds extremely loud, and there is also a subtle thrill of "I have been exposed".

Fortunately, there were clearer footsteps lingering ahead, and the heavy and sticky sound came from the thick AA-03D protective suit.

The sound pickup ability of tactical headphones is indeed great, and it is no wonder that it has firmly occupied a place in the revolution of individual equipment time and time again.

Raphael turned on the infrared light, then quickly turned it off. She hated this semi-enclosed indoor space with a little moonlight but not bright, which made her night vision bright and dark, making her feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, she could only frequently turn on the IR fill light to explore those corners covered by darkness.

Turning the corner again, two guys wearing heavy protective clothing and holding "Type 20 Small Gun" automatic rifles - a special weapon that looks very similar to FN SCAR and has a lot of reference to the design of the Ground Self-Defense Force - appeared in front of Raphael.

They seemed to be searching for something as well. The two of them seemed to be in perfect harmony, covering each other and moving forward step by step. The same was true when they checked the rooms indoors.

However, no matter how good the tacit understanding and combat skills are, they will be useless if one is unintentional.

Raphael raised his pistol and, with the suppressor on, fired a burst of shots, knocking the two men down in the corridor.

Regardless of whether they are members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces or not, their appearance here means that the rendezvous location is unsafe. In other words, except for the agreed two young ladies "Lily" and "Rose", everyone else is an enemy.

When the gunshots faded, she had already appeared in front of the two unlucky guys.

These two are still twisting and struggling.

With a quick glance, Raphael understood why they were still alive after being hit by seven or eight pistol bullets. How should I put it? The quality of the protective clothing designed and produced by the country in the west is really too good...

Several pistol bullets got stuck on it and failed to penetrate and kill anyone.

The reason for their disability was very simple. They were stunned by a series of bullets in a short period of time, and the severe pain in their bodies affected their thinking ability.

After they got used to the severe pain in their bodies, they began to struggle to sit up and saw a girl walking out of the darkness, shining in the moon's light particles, and a silenced pistol with a moon-white halo.

Da da--

The bullet shattered the helmet's facial shield cleanly, causing the man to fall into eternal sleep with a look of panic in his eyes.

The interference factor disappeared temporarily. Raphael turned on the radio and called the two young ladies on the agreed contact channel.

No response, is he dead?

Lingyin walked out, walked past Raphael to the pile of debris in front, half-knelt down and raised her gun to provide cover.

There is not much time left for them, and the same is true for the two young ladies.

The gunfight wasn't actually over yet. The search team lost contact for unknown reasons, and they had to come to the conclusion that the person or thing they were looking for was hidden in this commercial office building that was neither big nor small.

As long as they pay enough attention to the things here, subsequent reinforcements will be on the way.

Click, click, click, the sound of heels hitting the floor came from the room not far away.

The shoes are high heels, or at least have a certain height, and must be worn by women. The rhythm of their steps does not sound like that of a single person.

Although I don’t know how these two young ladies escaped, as long as they are alive, they will win.

Raphael opened her squinting eyes and saw the man in front of her wearing a fur coat and a hat, with an old, weather-beaten M16A4 hanging on his chest.

With his right hand pressing on the receiver and his left hand on the bare leather rail handguard, he can raise the gun and shoot at any time.
