Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 61 Platinum in a Bad Mood

"That's the only explanation."

Platinum nodded, then looked at the two trucks and asked.

"What should we do with these two trucks? Drive them back?"

Given the conditions on the shore, neither of the two trucks nor their cargo could be transported onto the ship.

"Let's go back quickly first, and then we can figure out how to get them onto the ship."

Lorraine placed the two portable safes in the passenger seats of the two trucks and then secured them to the seats with seatbelts.

Platinum untied the connection to his lower body and placed him into the empty carriage.

Then Tengu and Keshige jumped into the carriage and pointed their weapons at the rear.

With the help of Bai Jin, Di Ting jumped onto the roof of another truck.

"Let's go!"

Platinum drove ahead in a truck loaded with goods, while Di Ting provided firepower from the hood.

Lorraine followed behind Platinum, carrying Tengu and Keshige.

The two trucks drove onto the street from another exit and then, guided by Cleveland, drove smoothly back to the camp.

"This time it was quick, it only took a little over an hour."

Lorraine jumped out of the car, glanced at the time, and sighed.

[Commander, this mission took 1 hour and 23 minutes.]

"Hmm, let's go check on Ouyang Nian first, and then send the medicine back to the flagship."

Lorraine and Platinum, carrying their suitcases, headed towards the landing craft.

Looking at the soundly sleeping Ouyang Nian, Luo Lin suddenly felt like teasing his girlfriend.

"Platinum, let the cat out, but don't make a sound."

Lorraine put the box on the ground and quietly boarded the landing craft.

Looking at Ouyang Nian lying on his side on the landing craft, Luo Lin revealed a wicked smile, then gently picked up Ouyang Nian's tail and gently stroked it with his fingertips.

"Hmph."

Ouyang Nian groaned twice, but still showed no signs of waking up.

Seeing this, Lorraine did not stop, but instead chose to push her luck.

Lorraine ran her fingernail along the scales on Ouyang Nian's tail.

At this moment, Ouyang Nian, still asleep, began to try to pull his tail out of Lorraine's grasp.

Lorraine loosened her grip on Ouyang Nian's tail and then gently poked it to wake him up.

"Ugh, so annoying!"

Hearing Ouyang Nian's mutterings, Luo Lin stopped what she was doing and leaned close to Ouyang Nian's ear.

"The potion is back. If you don't get up soon, it will disappear."

"Sister! Hmm?"

Ouyang Nian suddenly woke up and saw Luo Lin grinning mischievously beside him as soon as he opened his eyes.

"Hmph! You're just teasing me."

"Alright, alright, the potion is on the shore, go get it yourself. Platinum and I will go interrogate those two prisoners first."

Lorraine ruffled Ouyang Nian's hair, stepped off the landing craft, and walked with Bai Jin toward the two-story building.

"You and Ms. Ouyang Nian have a very good relationship."

Platinum suddenly spoke up.

Lorraine slowed her pace and saw the forlorn expression on Platinum's face.

Would you mind talking about your past?

"I'll tell you when I have the chance. For now, let's ask them what they've hidden in their warehouse."

Platinum composed herself and entered the small building.

"The smell of blood is so strong."

Before even reaching the second floor, Lorraine could smell the strong stench of blood.

"Let's get this over with quickly. I'll pry information out of them as soon as possible."

At this moment, Platinum displayed a side of herself that Lorraine had never seen before.

Cold-blooded, ruthless, and exuding an aura of anger.

"It's up to you now."

Lorraine turned and walked onto the rooftop, casually calling over Xuan Tie, who was standing to the side.

"Captain, what brings you here?"

"Everyone has a past that no one knows about. Since those prisoners have aroused her anger, let them be the targets of her venting."

Lorraine leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance.

"This is the end times. Rather than suppressing her anger with discipline, it's better to let her vent it. After all, emotional instability is the most dangerous thing."

"Aren't you afraid she'll be driven to darkness because of this?"

"She is a soldier, and the honor in her heart will not allow her to indulge herself."

Lorraine smiled, then looked at Xuan Tie.

"I didn't expect you to have this kind of worry."

"We implemented a personality system specifically for her mental stability."

Xuan Tie explained why there were four mechanical dogs with different personalities in the Pivot Squad.

"Oh, are you really that willing to part with it?"

After all, the chips that can support such a system must not be cheap.

"Our team itself was composed of a group of experimental prototypes, so it's normal for us to have some advanced materials on us."

"Moreover, she only became like this on the eve of the apocalypse. It's normal for the research institute to go to great lengths to preserve a high-level combatant who can roam freely in the apocalypse."

"It seems her past has had a significant impact on her."

"You'll have to find out for yourself."

A man and a dog stood on the rooftop, waiting for Platinum to finish the interrogation.

"We've asked everything, let's go."

Platinum walked calmly onto the rooftop.

"They're here."

The two men and the dog went downstairs, called Roy, and headed straight for the warehouse.

Looking at the locked door, Platinum took two steps back and then kicked it.

"Bang!"

The door opened with a click.

After the dust settled, the two men and two dogs began searching for the hidden door.

With the help of Roy and Xuan Tie, Lorraine and Bai Jin cleared away the debris covering the hidden door.

"Crunch."

Platinum lifted the hidden door in the floor, then entered the secret room, holding a shield in one hand and a gun in the other.

Before Lorraine could catch up, a series of gunshots rang out below.

"platinum!"

"Papa"

Two short gunshots rang out, followed by Bai Jin's voice from below.

"I'm fine, it's safe down there."

Lorraine quickened her pace to Platinum's side, looking at her calm expression, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"This is a one-time opportunity. Be careful."

Lorraine sighed and could only utter these two sentences.

"Um."

Then, the two looked at the cubicles inside.

The entire secret room was filled with a faint smell of rotting wood.

Here the two saw people who had been imprisoned and were emaciated, as well as young women covered in wounds.

'This is like using the methods of training a hawk to torment someone.'

"They claim to be people's hope, yet they still do such dirty things."

At this moment, Platinum exuded a chilling killing intent.

"Go upstairs for some fresh air and catch your breath."

As Lorraine dragged Platinum away from there, she called over Cat and Xuan Tie.

"Stay with your team leader; she's in a bad mood. What happened down there upset her."

'no problem.'

Lorraine watched as Platinum walked to the big tree on the bank, staring blankly at the river.

"Roy, help organize the items in the warehouse. I'll go down and see them off."

Lorraine sighed and returned to the warehouse, ready to see these poor souls off.

Lorraine took a few bottles of water, unscrewed the caps, and added some sugar. Then she carried the bottles back to the secret chamber.
