Doomsday Officers Operation Team-Chapter 71 Searching for the Pilot
Chapter 71 - 71 Searching for the Pilot
Suwan didn't think it was shameful to not know the way.
It's just that she doesn't know the way. What a big deal. Forget it, let's find a pilot. As for the fact that she doesn't know the way, Suwan thinks it's better to keep it to herself. If she doesn't say it, who will know? And this matter must not be known to Angela. If she knows, Suwan can imagine how Angela will laugh at her. But... maybe she will never see Angela again.
But which pilot would dare to help Suwan escape? Not reporting her was good enough, but now things were getting complicated. Where could I find a pilot willing to help Suwan?
Suwan is concerned about her family and doesn't want to be the next person to sacrifice herself to save the survivors. She hasn't reached that point yet. She is determined to leave the rescue team. Although the idea of 'escaping' is a bit naive, Suwan doesn't think she is the only one who thinks so.
Suwan believes that every student wants to leave the rescue group, but no one dares to do it.
Suwan dares.
Suwan followed Mike listlessly into the tower. The little squirrel squatted on Mike's shoulder, and its big furry tail swept back and forth in front of Suwan's eyes, making Suwan unable to help but stretch out her claws towards the little squirrel, wanting to touch its furry fur. The little squirrel was so nervous on the plane that its hair stood on end. Before Suwan could touch the little squirrel, it bared its teeth and waved a claw at her.
"Who rescued you? You have no conscience," Suwan quickly retracted her hand. She didn't like this little animal very much, but she was unwilling to suffer a loss at the hands of the little squirrel. She bent her fingers and flicked the little squirrel's erect ears. The little squirrel immediately went crazy and stretched out its sharp little claws to grab Suwan. Suwan jumped back a step, and the little squirrel couldn't reach her because of its short arms, and squeaked in anger.
Seeing Suwan quarreling with the squirrel like a child, Mike laughed and said, "Stop messing around."
Mike used to be the leader of Suwan's group and had some authority in Suwan's eyes. After Mike said that, Suwan became serious and stopped teasing the little squirrel.
Mike imitated Adolf who had led them into the underground space before and made the same gesture towards the monitor in the corner. The ground where Suwan and Mike were standing began to shake, and the sound of a machine starting up was heard underground.
"Mike, do you know the student who fell today?" Suwan asked Mike while waiting.
Mike shook his head and his expression became serious.
There were so many students, and not everyone knew each other, but that didn't stop them from feeling sad about the death of that student.
"I wanted to give this squirrel to Zoe, but now it's yours. Can you do me a favor?" Suwan said with a smile, "Maybe I'll be the next person to die. Don't refuse."
Mike looked at the negative Suwan and said no words of comfort. After all, words of comfort were too powerless. If he comforted Suwan, who would comfort him?
Mike asked, "What's going on?"
"If I die, when you see Zoe, can you please not tell her the truth? Just tell her that I'm home," Suwan said with a smile, trying to make it sound like a joke.
Mike did not agree immediately, but looked at Suwan in silence, almost making Suwan think that Mike saw through her tricks.
But Mike agreed anyway: "Okay," Mike nodded and said, "If I can see her."
Suwan breathed a sigh of relief. Whether Mike saw through her or not, at least he didn't expose her.
"What about you?" Suwan acted as if this was just a joke. She asked Mike, "If you die first, do you need my help?"
Mike lowered his head and waited for the elevator to rise: "No one needs your help, just live well."
Suwan was stunned as she didn't expect Mike to say that.
Mike said dejectedly: "Enough people have died, just live well."
Suwan was sure Mike knew what he was thinking.
Perhaps it was because Mike had the same idea that he was able to guess Suwan's answer.
The ground in the middle cracked and an elevator rose from underground, but the roar of an airplane was also heard outside.
Suwan was now very sensitive to airplanes, or more precisely, to pilots, so he ignored the elevator and ran out of the tower. Mike was also curious about the incoming plane, so he followed him out.
The plane was slowly landing. Suwan was stunned to see an iron cage hanging next to the cabin door. Inside the cage was an angry, roaring zombie.
Suwan just said it casually, but she didn't expect that the zombie was actually brought back in a cage. The style of the cage was very familiar to Suwan, as she had been locked up in this kind of cage before.
The plane landed in the open space of the safe zone. Two students jumped out of the plane. Seeing Suwan standing there, they waved to her excitedly: "Hey, Su, your method is really effective!"
Suwan laughed dryly.
The zombies stretched their hands out of the gaps in the iron bars and waved them non-stop. The two trainees carefully avoided the zombies and dragged the cage tied with ropes into the tower. Seeing that the elevator was just rising to the ground, they turned around and asked Suwan and Mike: "Are you not coming in?"
Suwan stretched out her hands and made a firm X sign. She didn't want to have any close contact with zombies, even through a cage.
Mike hugged the little squirrel that was trembling with fear at the sight of zombies, and also refused.
The elevator descended, and Suwan looked at the plane that was flying back. The pilot had already gotten off the plane and was walking towards this side. The plane was pushed into a tower by several soldiers, and the sound of an elevator rising and falling could be heard from the tower.
It seems that every tower here is an entrance to the underground.
Suwan was eager to get along well with the pilot. When she saw the pilot approaching, she felt that the opportunity was not to be missed. She cupped her hands and made a heart shape, and talked to Mike: "I have always envied pilots. They fly around in the sky with their planes. How cool they are."
Mike was confused. Aren't all the students at Belster able to fly airplanes? What's so cool about that? Why did Suwan look so envious?
The pilot who was walking over heard Suwan's praise and looked at Suwan for a second longer. Seeing that it was a cute Asian girl praising him, he straightened his chest proudly.
"Wow," Suwan watched the pilot approaching with fascination, performing an exaggerated act: "He really is a pilot, look at his chest muscles!"
What's so good about it... Mike glanced at Suwan's chest and was confused. Suwan's chest was much bigger, why would she envy the pilot's?
The pilot was about to walk into the tower and take the elevator to the underground space. When he heard Suwan's compliment, he turned around and walked towards Suwan. He reached out and took Suwan's hand, kissed the back of Suwan's hand, and asked in a gentlemanly manner, "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of knowing your name?"
Suwan usually hates getting close to people, but now that someone is holding her hand, she forced herself not to refuse. She looked shy, but in fact she stomped her feet hard to vent her frustration: "Just call me Su," Of course, it would be even better if you were willing to take me for a run, Suwan smiled.
The pilot was very happy to see that he was favored by Suwan. It was simply a fantasy to find a girlfriend in this doomsday. His previous girlfriend was fed to zombies.
Mike blinked hard, thinking he was hallucinating, but it was not an illusion. Suwan looked shy and ran happily into the tower with the pilot.
"What's going on," Mike muttered to himself, "Previous sentence he asked me to help convey a message to Zoe, and now he's fallen in love with someone else?" Is this still the innocent Suwan?
The little squirrel followed with a squeak.
"You don't understand either, do you?"
"squeak!"
Mike was confused and walked back to the tower almost at the same time, only to see that the elevator was already halfway down.
"Wait!" Mike quickly took two steps forward, but the elevator was already descending mercilessly.
Mike angrily kicked the ground that had closed again: "I hope you guys break up soon!"
When Mike took the next elevator back to the basement, he saw Suwan flirting with the pilot in the corridor.
"Can you take me for a flight in the sky? I really envy the pilots who can fly freely in the sky," Suwan said in a coquettish voice, twirling the pilot's collar with her fingers.
The pilot looked embarrassed: "This won't work."
"No?" Suwan showed a disappointed look, and asked persistently: "Really?"
"It's really not possible," the pilot said honestly, "It doesn't comply with regulations."
Suwan loosened his hand that was playing with the other person's collar and immediately took a step back.
Unexpectedly, Suwan immediately turned hostile, and the pilot looked innocent: "Su, even if I can't fly, I have muscles." He raised his arms and clenched his fists, showing his biceps to Suwan, hoping that Suwan would change his mind.
Suwan originally planned that if the pilot was willing to take her on a flight, she would hold the pilot hostage and fly to China. Now that the plan didn't work, Suwan certainly wasn't bothered to put on an act with the pilot.
Seeing Suwan ruthlessly using him and then throwing him away when he failed, Mike said with a tut-tut sound: "This woman is so mean."
"Squeak!" the little squirrel shouted.
Suwan pulled up his shirt a little, showing the pilot his abdominal muscles, and then rolled his eyes at the pilot: "Everyone doesn't have them."
The girlfriend who just held his hand turned around and walked away coldly. She even had muscles. It was really frustrating in every sense. The pilot turned around in frustration and banged his head against the wall. He felt dizzy after hitting it twice. He turned his head and saw the tall Mike. He muttered to himself in a trance: "Men still have more choices..."
Mike's hair stood on end and he quickly ran along the wall. When he turned the corner of the corridor, he saw Suwan looking distressed.
Normally Suwan hated close contact with others, and even Angela had to look at her expression before getting close to her. But in the eyes of many people, body language is a way to express intimacy. Mike thought about how close Suwan was to the pilot just now, so he tentatively reached out his hand to put his hand on Suwan's shoulder, but before he could touch her, Suwan dodged.
"Why are you dodging?" Mike said happily, "He kissed your hand just now, and I couldn't even put my arm around his shoulder. Are we still friends?" Before he could finish his words, the pilot passed by in a depressed mood. When he saw Suwan, his eyes lit up and he rushed over to pull Suwan's hand and make peace with her. Suwan slapped his hand away with such force that the pilot gasped in pain and blew on the back of his hand pitifully.
"Tsk," Mike concluded, "this woman is really ruthless."
"squeak!!"
