Luo Fan exclaimed in surprise.
I really didn't expect there would be such a good thing as building an AR squad and sending Pascal.
In a post-apocalyptic world, the benefits of having a researcher with cutting-edge knowledge as a companion are self-evident.
But what Luo Fan was thinking was...
Why did this lazy dog come along too...?
"Hmm? Hello, Commander."
Pascal, seemingly unaware of anything, waved to Lofan.
But Lofan knew perfectly well what had just happened to someone as astute as Pascal...
"You heard what you just said?"
Luo Fan asked tentatively.
Pascal simply yawned, then leaned against the pile of clothes in the closet and said lazily, "Yeah, I definitely heard everything."
Seeing Pascal's appearance, Luo Fan was about to ask why he hadn't come out sooner, but then thought better of it.
Perhaps it makes sense that way because she is Pascal.
"Alright, you come out now."
Lofan opened his arms, trying to catch Pascal who was on the upper level.
But Pascal just looked at himself.
He then grinned mischievously and said, "What are you thinking about me?"
"??????"
Luo Fan was full of question marks.
"I'm afraid you lazy dog will fall and die."
Luo Fan mocked mercilessly.
"Besides, I don't even know what your relationship with Lyco is. You can't live a normal life without him, so what could I possibly think?"
"But Lyco has already left."
......
"Forget it, we can't mess around with something like this."
Luo Fan rolled his eyes.
How can I take care of her? How can I expect to be inseparable from her?
Forget it. If even a science and engineering guy like Leike can't do it, wouldn't I be even less capable?
Pascal stopped joking and jumped down from the cabinet using Lovan's arms.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
"What should I do? I'll just say hello to them."
PS: I recommend listening to "Berrylands Rd" by yiruma to enhance the reading experience.
Pascal stretched his wrists and prepared to leave the room.
Just as Pascal put his hand on the doorknob, about to turn it, he suddenly asked, "Do you have any coffee here?"
"...I can buy it later."
After receiving an affirmative reply, Pascal opened the door and went out, satisfied.
Luo Fan could only sigh helplessly and follow them out. After leaving the room, M16 went straight to another room to prepare bedding for himself and his sisters.
This was specially prepared by Luo Fan for the AR team.
M4 still didn't lift her head. She had thought she could put aside these trivial matters and continue on her way.
But the longer it goes on, the more confused I become, and the more confused I become, the more I blame myself.
These burdens were like mountains, pressing down on her until she could hardly breathe.
The Rebellion Squad and 45 have already gone to tidy up the room. Now, only the AR Squad members, Lovan, and Pascal are in the living room.
Everyone was so focused on comforting M4 that no one noticed Pascal's presence.
For Pascal, M4 was like her child, and its current state saddened her greatly.
M16 contracting the Umbrella virus was ordered by himself, with the aim of saving M4.
M16 was also willing to sacrifice himself to save M4.
But now, what should have been a happy family reunion has turned into this.
Pascal walked toward the M4.
Because they were barefoot, RO, SOP II, and AR15 did not notice Pascal.
Until they reached the M4.
When RO and the others found Pascal, they were about to cry out in surprise.
Pascal, however, put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.
And everyone cooperated and quieted down.
After preparing himself mentally, Pascal knelt down in front of M4 and slowly embraced her.
The sudden hug made M4 tremble all over, but he still didn't lift his head.
Pascal murmured as he looked at the M4 in his arms.
"M4, don't be afraid, don't be confused, I'm here, your teammates are here, your favorite commander is here, we're all here."
Upon hearing Pascal's voice, M4 finally looked up in shock.
The fog had already filled her vision, and for some reason, the people in her eyes became blurry and shimmering.
M4 only realized it when she felt an itchy sensation on her face.
Tears streamed down her face.
“Miss Pascal…”
"I'm here, M4."
Pascal hugged M4's head and gently stroked it.
"Don't hold it in; if you want to cry, just cry it out."
"Now, no one will leave you."
Pascal gently patted the back of the M4.
Liquidation...
It's like a dam bursting, like a broken wine glass.
Tears streamed down M4's face.
"Waaah... Miss Pascal, I don't understand, I don't understand... We're just humanoids, why give us emotions? Why make us have so many worries and sorrows!"
M4 screamed hysterically and pounded on Pascal's arm.
Pascal was also overwhelmed with emotion. He looked up, took a deep breath towards the sky, and then said, "This is the fundamental difference between you and tools. M4, you are my child, and you are also M4."
“It is because you have feelings that you are different from mere tools.”
"No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, it will not extinguish the kindness in your heart, which is truly precious."
But M4's movements became even more intense.
"But I still can't understand why M16 left, why AR15 left in the first place, why even the military betrayed us, why we have to face so much suffering? This is not fair!"
Pascal finally couldn't hold back and lowered his head.
M4 felt that her hair seemed to have gotten wet.
"I'm so sorry, M4..."
Luo Fan turned his head away, unwilling to watch any longer.
I think I can somewhat understand why RPK16 wanted to become human.
At this moment, M16 in the room was listening intently to everything happening in the living room.
Her only remaining eye was also filled with tears.
This one meeting is not enough to express a thousand words.
M4's mournful cries echoed through the living room.
No one wanted to interrupt her.
The members of the Rebellion Squad and UMP45 did not leave the room immediately.
Yes, let her vent. She's already endured enough.
......
Around noon, M4 felt tired and went back to her room to sleep with the rest of the AR team.
The M16 did not follow.
......
The atmosphere remained tense even at dinner time.
There were twelve people at the table, but no one wanted to liven things up.
Everyone in the AR team seemed rather depressed and had lost their appetite.
Of course, to avoid awkwardness, the M16 was not seated side by side with the M4.
But M4 wanted to sit down and have dinner with M16, just like before.
But things will ultimately not go as planned.
A few minutes later......
The Defiant Squad and UMP45 exchanged a glance.
"I'm stuffed."
The five of them stood up together, carried the bowls into the kitchen, and then returned to their respective rooms.
Now only AR Team, Lovan, and Pascal remain at the dinner table.
How could Luo Fan not know that this was to leave some room for himself and the AR team?
Even so, what can be done? What can one say?
How can we make this long-awaited reunion, which is hardly a joyful occasion, feel perfect?
Therefore, Luo Fan remained silent, as did everyone else present.
However, as the commander, I still have to say something...
"you......"
As soon as he spoke, everyone present looked at him, and Luo Fan didn't know what to say next.
But Luo Fan still said, "Tonight, your AR team should sleep in one room. Even after so long, we still need to have some communication."
Luo Fan didn't know what he was saying, but he picked up the bowl, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen, patting Pascal on the shoulder as he did so.
Pascal then followed him in, carrying his bowl.
After putting the bowl down, Luo Fan looked at Pascal, who had followed him.
"What are you going to do tonight? Sleep in the same room as the AR team?"
Luo Fan inquired, after all, Pascal was the creator of the AR team, and perhaps living with them would be beneficial.
But Pascal said, "Give them some space. Outsiders can't interfere. If you want them to be as perfect as the original AR team, then let them solve it themselves."
Luo Fan washed the dishes while talking to Pascal.
"And you, where do you sleep?"
