RC 701-725

Chapter 101: All Look Familiar, But...

"Hmm, this is really an interesting reaction. Are you afraid?" Alchemist, who didn't care about M1918's grip on the weapon, even deliberately moved in front of her and squinted her eyes at her slightly trembling arm.

M1918's reaction really made Alchemist curious. Some of the dolls she met before didn't care about her, some were alert, some looked for other dolls to confirm, and some even greeted her with a smile. But none of them suddenly became afraid like M1918.

Fear is the least important emotion in the doll neural template, and normal tactical dolls don't have fear. Even if a doll is destroyed, they can be "resurrected" through the backup neural cloud, so no normal tactical doll will have this reaction after seeing an Sangvis-Ferri elite doll.

"How long has it been since you conducted a neural inspection on your mind?" Alchemist pinched her chin and said something that surprised M1918.

"Neural inspection?" The regular neural inspection check of the tactical doll. M1918 certainly knows it, but because there have been many recent transfers, and with the relocation of Gentiane to this base, she has not conducted regular inspections for a long time.

Although she didn't know what Alchemist was planning to do by asking about regular checks, M1918 did not intend to answer her question. God knows what Alchemist will do after getting the answer.

However, before M1918 could figure out what the Sangvis Ferri Alchemist in front of him was planning, a ringtone that sounded very jumpy rang from Alchemist.

Then, to M1918's surprise, Alchemist skillfully took out her mobile phone from her pocket.

"Hmm? Yes, yes, I got it, I'll go back right away. Next time, should we apply for automated slaughtering equipment? Killing every day, even a Sangvis Ferri doll will get bored."

While talking on the phone, Alchemist waved to M1918 casually, turned around, and left, as if she was not worried at all that M1918 would attack her from behind.

Well, in fact, Alchemist was not worried at all because of the Griffin identification code on her body. Griffin's tactical doll could not shoot at her, so even if she turned her back to M1918, she didn't have to worry about bullets hitting the back of her head.

Huh?

M1918 was stunned when she saw Alchemist turn around and leave quickly, but then she frowned and followed her, gripping her weapon.

Although Alchemist said she was leaving, she was still a little worried because she didn't see her leave the Griffin base with her own eyes.

M1918, who was following Alchemist, really couldn't understand her because she seemed familiar with the place. While walking, she greeted the Griffin dolls passing by.

Seeing that she could call out the code name of each tactical doll, it didn't seem like she was coming to this base for the first time.

Just when M1918 couldn't figure it out, she saw Alchemist again, taking a snack from F2000, who was passing by, eating while taking photos with her mobile phone.

This doll... is she here to collect information about the Griffin base?!

M1918 finally thought of the key point!

Unfortunately, gathering intelligence was not in Alchemist's plan. Her purpose was simple: to see what a G&K base looked like and observe the Griffin dolls.

After all, it was probably just an ordinary after-meal exercise...

M1918, who had been following Alchemist, followed her out of the gate of the Griffin base without realizing it.

In addition to Alchemist who was walking towards the spaceship, M1918 also saw many Griffin dolls, who were also walking towards the spaceship.

It's just that the uniforms on these dolls... uh, look a little different?

Although these dolls looked familiar, she always felt that there was something very strange about them.

In addition, the landing site of the spaceship was not far from the Griffin gate. Before M1918 could even speak, she was dragged into the cargo door of the spaceship by a group of chattering dolls.

...

"Oh? It seems that the time has come. Persica, M4, I'm afraid there is no time to stay here this time. Renault seems to have summoned the dolls to return." Listening to the noisy voices outside the corridor, AR15 shrugged helplessly.

After all, Renault's purpose for coming here is just to sell things. He never planned to stay near the Griffin base for a long time from the beginning.

"Well, it happens that these data are enough for me to digest for a while. How did Renault come up with this method?" Shaking the printed doll data file in her hand, Persica was not frustrated.

The data and examples are already here. All she has to do is find a way to reproduce all of this. Although it cannot be used as her own research topic, these data can also bring a lot of help to her research.

M4 and RO also nodded, but after they took a step, they suddenly remembered that they seemed to have forgotten someone...

"Ah! Sister 16 is still on the boat!"

"On the boat? When did she come? Weren't there only three of you when you arrived?"

RO scratched her head, "Well, M16 seems to have gone to ask Executioner for wine..."

"Really, but fortunately, it hasn't been long. Even if that guy is a heavy drinker, she won't get drunk in such a short time." AR15 waved her hand and planned to go to the winemaking workshop to find M16.

"Hey! M4! AR15! I'm back!"

It was M16, who came out of the elevator with a bottle of wine in her hand, and in her other hand, she was dragging a flatbed cart with several boxes of wine on it, most of which were the types that Simonov and her friends didn't drink.

"Huh, it's timely. Why didn't you come back drunk this time?"

M16 didn't seem to drink much; at least she didn't have a lisp when she spoke.

"Hey, when I went there, Simonov and her friends were sorting out their inventory. These drinks were what they didn't want, so I got them all!" M16 said, patting the handrail of the flatbed cart proudly.

The boxes on the flatbed cart were piled up full, and it seemed that at least a ton of drinks were pulled out by M16.

"Really, aren't you afraid that Commander Renault will send a bill to Persica later?"

"It's okay, A-91 said that Commander Renault won't care about this stuff."

After all, these are unsold backlogs, and letting M16 take some away can help free up some space.

Chapter 102: Are You Lost?

"Tsk tsk, no matter how many times I see it, it still very outrageous. If the body wasn't so heavy, AR15's body should be considered perfect... No, maybe the heavy body is not a shortcoming if it's a Tactical Doll."

The protection capability is comparable to that of tank armors. It is resistant to radiation, electromagnetic pulses, and even waterproof. It is similar to shrinking a three-proof armored vehicle and wearing it on your body.

Coupled with the energy engine that Renault installed on his doll... Tsk, she always felt as if she was being outdone by others. But fortunately, the doll bodies made by Renault are only for the personal use of his own dolls.

Otherwise, old man Havier would probably lose his hair in a hurry, right?

But that’s not necessarily true. After all, IOP produces the most doll bodies mainly for the civilian market. These doll bodies manufactured by Renault is obviously more suitable for the military.

"Hey, M4, what do you think of this body? Do you want me to pay Renault to help you replace it?" Persica suddenly had an idea and asked while looking at M4 sitting next to her watching the combat records.

If that's the case, wouldn't she have a ready-made one... Ahem, it seems a bit unfair to do this to M4, but as long as she doesn't take her apart and just studies her, it should be fine, right?

"Well, Persica, this shouldn't be necessary... AR15 and SOP2's bodies were all replaced after the original bodies were damaged,"

M4 had already learned from AR15 and SOP2. The reason why they changed their bodies is just...

SOP2 did replace her body because it was seriously damaged, but the original body of AR15 was not damaged beyond repair.

"Well, that's true, and the body made by that guy Reno is also a bit out of compliance. Tsk, why didn't the guys from the Security Bureau run up to that guy and warn him?"

It's not like Persica didn't think about ordering some stronger and more resilient doll body materials and making a product by herself that was far superior to ordinary doll bodies.

But before she had time to implement it, the people from the Bureau of State Security came to her door and gave her a warning.

Of course, a warning is a warning. She finally got a lot of military-grade body materials and then formed the AR team, but this was the limit. No matter how much stuff they had, neither Havier nor Griffin would take it out for her.

The old man at IOP couldn't do anything about it, so there was no need to count on Griffin. Most of Griffin's tactical dolls were directly supplied from IOP.

RO raised her eyes and looked at Persica, who was flipping through the information in her hand repeatedly and checking information on the computer next to her from time to time. She shrugged her shoulders, turned back, and continued to be immersed in the tokusatsu drama being played on the tablet.

She didn’t know where M16 went. Anyway, there are no missions in Griffin Base that require their AR team to dispatch. Most of the dolls are idle. RO thinks that being idle is a good thing. After all, if they are needed and get busy, it will definitely not be an easy task.

……

Is this a Jupiter cannon?

When passing by, M1918 looked at the two Jupiter cannons that had been mostly disassembled with some surprise. She was a little puzzled as to why these two Sangvis Ferri weapons were in Griffin.

But before she could figure out the reason, some curious eyes fell on her.

She noticed someone watching her and then noticed the inconspicuous figures in the corners...

It’s Sangvis Ferri again! And so many!?

Although most of those Sangvis Ferri men were wearing personal clothes or work clothes, M1918 still recognized the real bodies of these guys instantly: the Sangvis Ferri basic unit Ripper, and some Vespids and Guard Units who had taken off their helmets.

There were quite a few, about thirty or so... However, these Sangvis Ferri dolls were just staring at her and did not make any move to attack.

M1918 thought that these guys had received some order not to take action for the time being, but if possible, she still hoped that they would not look at her...

Didn't see me! Didn't see me!

M1918, repeating these words in her mind, lowered her head, followed the several figures in front, and blended into the elevator.

The dolls who were chatting didn't seem to notice her as an outsider. They talked all the way and walked to the door of the restaurant without realizing it.

A strong fragrance instantly invaded M1918's consciousness...

When she came to her senses, she was already sitting at the dining table in the corner of the restaurant with food on the tray.

The food in her mouth tasted so wonderful yet extremely familiar.

G36's craftsmanship is always top-notch. However, her problem now is how to deal with these Sangvis Ferri dolls sitting opposite her...

"Are you new here?" One of the Rippers looked at M1918 with some curiosity. But after hearing this, M1918 seemed to choke on her food, and her face turned red.

Tilting her head curiously, the Ripper looked at M1918, who was suppressing her blush and saying nothing. She then looked at the food on M1918's plate and asked, "Is that delicious?"

"Huh?" M1918, who originally thought that the Ripper in front of her would suddenly change her temper and attack her after discovering that she did not belong here, was stunned. The other party's question was really surprising...

"SPAS-12 recommendation, Burger, delicious, but not sweet."

As if he was learning how to speak, the Ripper in front of M1918 pieced together a sentence using words one by one. However, M1918 could understand what she meant. After all, the other party was speaking faster and faster, and she was not far from being able to speak proficiently.

Looking at the waffles covered with syrup on her plate, M1918 nodded, "Yeah, it's very sweet. Do you want to try it?"

"Yeah." Looking at the dinner plate being pushed towards her, the Ripper awkwardly picked up the knife and fork that she didn't intend to use. She was a little clumsy, but she carefully cut the waffle that was extremely fragile in the hands of a doll.

Watching the Ripper's movements, M1918 looked at the two other Rippers next to her. They were also looking at the Middle Ripper with expectant eyes. Only then did she realize that these three Rippers were connected by two data lines.

What are they doing? Sharing the feeling of eating?

M1918 guessed correctly this time. The Rippers were indeed sharing their feelings about eating, but just when she was about to ask to satisfy her curiosity, a palm rested lightly on her shoulder.

"Oh? Who is this? The guard of the Griffin Combat Readiness Department warehouse? It seems that there is a lost guy on the commander's ship."

*Chapter 103: Send It Back*

"Alchemist..."

Facing Alchemist who suddenly put her hand on her shoulder, M1918 wanted to shout loudly and forcefully. However, after seeing the two figures beside Alchemist, she unconsciously lowered her voice.

Beside Alchemist were Executioner on the left and another Executioner on the right. Behind her stood Hunter and an unknown but Sangvis Ferri doll, all staring at her...

The situation... I can't understand it... It's over!

This time it's really over! Where are those Griffin dolls from earlier?!

Someone, save me quickly!

M1918 hadn't forgotten that when she came here, she was forced onto the ship by a group of Griffin dolls. If it weren't for those large numbers, she wouldn't have followed so confidently!

Why did I only see so many Griffin dolls before?! Could it be that they are all disguised as Sangvis Ferri Dolls? But the Griffin identification codes on them are not fake...

In her panic, M1918 suddenly noticed that whether it was Alchemist, the two Executioners beside her, Hunter behind her, or the unknown Sangvis Ferri Doll, they all had Griffin Doll identification codes!?

For a moment, M1918 thought she was dreaming. She squinted her eyes, turned her head back, and looked at the three Rippers across the dining table. That's right, it was the Sangvis Ferri identification signal, so why did these...

When she turned around again, she saw that Alchemist and the Sangvis Ferri Dolls were all looking at her, holding back laughter, clearly amused by her confusion.

"Hahahaha!"

M1918's panicked look brought them a lot of fun, but Alchemist and the others' smiles immediately attracted other Dolls nearby.

"Alchemist, what are you laughing at?" M870, who was about to leave the restaurant after finishing her meal, came over curiously after hearing the laughter and saw M1918 sitting opposite the Ripper.

"This? She shouldn't be one of us, right?"

"Ah, no, I just saw her at the door of the warehouse belonging to Griffin's combat readiness department. I didn't expect this guy to follow us." Alchemist shrugged and said with a smile.

Although she did want to tease this guy at first, she really didn't expect M1918 to follow her all the way to the spaceship.

"What should we do now? Let wz.29 turn around and send this guy back?"

"What are you thinking? How can we send her back? She's already on the ship. The commander will definitely not let her go." MDR also came over at this time and took the opportunity to take a picture of the panicked expression on M1918's face.

"Eh? Can't go back? No, I..." M1918, who heard what MDR said, suddenly became anxious. She didn't care about being watched by so many Sangvis dolls and immediately stood up from her seat, intending to run out of the spaceship.

"Hey, look out the window before running away." Alchemist pulled M1918 and pointed out the window.

The spaceship had already taken off when M1918 was waiting in line to receive her meal. Now more than 20 minutes and nearly half an hour had passed, and the spaceship had already left the location of Griffin.

M1918 immediately turned her head and looked out the window, only to find that there was no ground outside. She could not see the landmarks of Griffin Base. All she could see were thick clouds.

"This..."

"Well, the current altitude is 12,000 meters. If you jump from this height, even a doll will be smashed to pieces. But I can sponsor you a parachute pack, and you can broadcast it live then!" MDR pretended to find a parachute pack from the side.

After all, no doll would really want to jump from a really high place, right?

Snap!

MDR was only halfway through the fake move when he was slapped on the forehead.

Renault always felt that this guy had started acting out again recently. Wasn't she just dealt with before? She really can't sit still.

"Why are you asking her to jump? Just eat your meal. The spaceship is in cruising mode now. When it turns over the Griffin Base, it will land and let you off." He waved to M1918 and, while saying this, dispersed a few troublemakers like MDR who wanted to make a scene.

"Eh? Hey, Commander! Why did you suddenly change this time? Didn't you force AK47 to stay when they came to our base last time?"

"It's different. Be quiet and don't think about causing trouble all the time." Renault said unhappily, flicking MDR's forehead.

How can it be the same? M1918 just followed by accident and didn't do anything. AK-47's group was tricked by malicious people with viruses.

Besides, the space inside the spacecraft is tight now. M1 Garand has already started planning to transform the three-story warehouse into a dormitory for the Sangvis Ferri dolls, but there are not so many spare bedrooms for the new dolls to live in.

Whether it is the transformation of the Jupiter Cannon or the cultivation of new doll bodies, it is not something that can be done in a day or two. But the expansion and transformation of the spacecraft must also be put on the schedule.

When the spacecraft was built, there were not many dolls in the house. There were only more than 30 at most, and the living space on the spacecraft was more than enough.

However, after receiving the Rippers from the Sangvis Ferri Factory, the number of dolls on the ship doubled. Although it did not make the space inside the ship narrow, it also took up a lot of pre-set living space.

Now that so much time has passed, the number of dolls on the ship has increased by more than 30, not to mention the ordinary SF dolls brought on board later.

He couldn't let his own dolls live in ordinary dormitories and let the Sangvis dolls live in collective dormitories on the upper and lower floors, right?

It would be fine if he hadn't deleted the basic root protocols of those Sangvis dolls. After all, if the base protocols were not deleted, the self-consciousness of ordinary Sangvis dolls would not awaken.

But he had deleted it. During this period, the mental state of those Sangvis dolls who awakened their self-consciousness was almost the same as that of children of a few years old. It was not right to treat them differently.

Is this a kind of self-inflicted trouble?

"Heh." Thinking of this, Renault pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled, walking towards the cargo hold.

HK416, who just walked out of the restaurant, happened to see Renault's smile and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Commander? Why did he suddenly smile?

Did something good happen?

She looked at M1918 who was still eating in the restaurant with some confusion, but it should have nothing to do with the doll from Griffin, right?

Well, how about going to Renault's workshop later?

Chapter 104: What Have I Been Doing?

"I say, Renault, is it really okay to leave so many dolls on the ship idle all day?" HK416 sat on the parts box, crossed her arms, and asked Renault, who was modifying the Jupiter cannon.

"Otherwise, where can we start a war?"

"Uh..." HK416 sighed helplessly after being taken aback by Renault's blunt words, but if she thought about it carefully, Renault's words seemed to make sense.

There are already quite a few dolls on the ship. Among them, those who are good at fighting are truly proficient. All the dolls that emerged from the training device made by Renault are skilled in combat.

Although these dolls may seem unserious and playful like naughty children at home, if they were put on the battlefield, they would only need a five-person team with limited ammunition to defeat military dolls outnumbering them tenfold.

These doll frames are weapons themselves, with powerful strength and nearly unlimited energy engines.

If someone else got hold of this kind of technology, they would probably have started thinking about conquering the world. Fortunately, Renault is content to tinker with this... useless Jupiter cannon.

The Force Shields made by the military have already proven that the Jupiter cannon is not effective against military units with large Force Shield-generating devices. Although continuous bombardment can reduce the energy of the opponent's Shield-generating device, the efficiency is too low.

If there is time, they would have already rushed to the opponent.

"Don't worry about it too much. If there is a commission, take it. If there is no commission, just sit tight. There's nothing to worry about." As for other messy things, Renault certainly didn't want to get involved. It would not benefit him.

It's okay to get involved occasionally on a whim, but there is obviously no such opportunity now.

The military's actions are getting bigger and bigger, and Sangvis Ferri has been shrinking its scope of action. He doesn't know whether they were really defeated by the military or whether they were holding back their strength to give the military a surprise blow.

Griffin's life has been pretty good recently. Without so many Sangvis Ferri intrusions, their business has also improved a little. Of course, part of the reason is that many of Griffin's human employees have resigned, allowing them to pay less in wages.

He wonder if those former Griffin employees who resigned under pressure from Sangvis Ferri and the military will feel regretful after seeing Griffin's current situation. After all, Griffin is a unique security contractor that doesn't require running out and risking life and death.

"Hmm." HK416, who heard Renault's words, hummed helplessly, but her eyes caught a glimpse of a figure standing in the cargo hold, staring blankly at the Rippers.

"By the way, what are you going to do with that girl? Are you going to let her wander around the boat like this?"

That person from Paradeus just wanders around the boat without saying a word. She doesn't greet people, only just stares at them with lifeless eyes.

Hiss! Just thinking about it gives her a creepy feeling.

"Leave it like this for now. That thing is different from a doll. She was transformed from a human. I deleted some of the protocols and regulations in her mental space before. Now she should be recalling the memories she already had."

"Transformation, so... is she alive or dead now? The life detection module doesn't seem to work on her."

"She is half alive, but there's not much difference from a doll. She still needs to be charged."

"Uh, charging... Can't she just eat?"

"No, most of her organs have been replaced with mechanical parts. Although she can still eat, it's just a simulation device. The only part of her body that is still human is probably the brain."

"Okay, I'm going to find G11. You can tinker with it here slowly." HK416 looked at the figure who was still standing there without moving, stood up, waved to Renault, and left. Renault didn't care. The two Jupiter cannons he had were about to be modified. They were specially modified for the military's shield generator, or in other words, they were specially modified for the Force Shield generator technology.

With these two cannons, the weapon system of the spacecraft would not be blocked by the shield generator.

Like Achitect, her artillery platform was bombarded by a mere armored train, but in the end, she didn't win. Her artillery platform was blown away by the smaller-caliber train guns on the armored train.

It was just like an adult holding a rubber hammer and couldn't smash the turtle shell, but ended up having his toes bitten off.

Just when Renault was obsessed with modifying the Jupiter cannon, the spacecraft cruising on a fixed route had returned to the sky above the Griffin base again. Wz.29 also followed Renault's instructions and directly controlled the spacecraft to land at the previous landing site.

M1918 also received a notice from M1 Garand and came to the hatch of the spacecraft early, ready to disembark and return to the Griffin base.

Unlike when she came with only her own etched weapons, M1918 now had a lot of bags of different sizes in her hands.

There were snacks made by G3, specialties sent by CF05 and others, and even a large bag of fresh meat sent by MG3.

If M1918 had been interested in alcohol, she might have had a box of alcohol brewed by Simonov and others.

Until she walked out of the hatch of the spacecraft, M1918's neural cloud was still a little confused, and she didn't understand what she was doing on this trip.

It was obviously to follow the Sangvis doll Alchemist to prevent her from doing anything to harm Griffin, but after this round, it was like coming here for a vacation. She had a comfortable meal and received a lot of small gifts from other dolls on the ship.

"BAR, are you... buying goods?" Looking at M1918 standing at the door of the Griffin base with a lot of bags, FAL, who was patrolling near the base, looked at her with a strange expression and asked.

"This... this is a long story... I just followed those dolls to Commander Renault's ship..." M1918 was a little embarrassed and wanted to scratch her head, but her hands were full of bags, so she could only squint her eyes blankly.

"Wow! This fragrance! I seem to smell the dessert made by G3!" M1918 was thinking about how to explain, and FNC, who was following FAL, suddenly rushed out and leaned over to the handbag next to M1918 and took a deep breath.

"It was indeed made by G3. After all, she is on that ship now."

After hearing this, not only FNC, but also the other dolls came up curiously and chattered about G3. After all, since G3 left Griffin inexplicably, the quality of the desserts at Griffin headquarters has dropped several levels.

Chapter 105: Something is Not Right

"Not ready yet?" RPK16 sat on a supply box outside the signal station, holding her chin, and asked AK12, who was concentrating on cracking the Sangvis Ferri firewall in the signal station, bored.

"Why are you in such a hurry? This is the thirteenth signal station along the way. If we can't locate the data that Angie mentioned, we may have to rush into the Sangvis Ferri's main factory," AK12 said helplessly.

AN94, who was outside the door on the other side of the signal station, also pursed hed lips and looked a little anxious. Only AK15, who still kept an expressionless look at this time, stood on the high point of the signal station and observed the surrounding situation.

"That being said, I don't think well make it alive after rushing into the Sangvis Ferri's main factory," RPK16 curled her lips.

If it was a while ago, when the military hadn't taken action against Sangvis Ferri, they might have had a chance. However, most of the combat units of Sangvis Ferri have retreated to the area near the Sangvis Ferri General Factory.

They have traveled through mountains and rivers, and the Sangvis Ferri dolls they have encountered are stronger than one another.

If they continue like this, they may collide with the armored units head-on again.

Although the Sangvis Ferri Manticores are not equipped with a variety of weapons like the military's Hydra, the armor of the Manticores is very hard.

They have almost looted all the safe houses they can reach along the way, and they have consumed all the spare parts, combat ammunition, and energy supplies.

Even so, they are no longer as shiny as when they set out, and everyone has replaced some of their parts more or less.

The result of replacing the military-spec parts on their bodies is naturally that their combat effectiveness has dropped sharply. Except for AK15, who has a strong body and is not affected much, the remaining three people have to worry about whether their bodies will suddenly fall apart during combat. The spare parts found in the safe house were of varying quality.

Apart from the matching shapes, the strength of the parts was completely unsatisfactory.

Those profiteers of IOP!

"Aha! Found it! It's really well hidden!" AK12's frown relaxed, and she shouted excitedly.

Even AK15 couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after hearing AK12's words, but before the people below could communicate, AK15 had already waved to AN94, who was put down.

"There are Sangvis Ferri approaching, the number... a lot..." Looking at the gesture AK15 made to her, AN94's face sank.

Although she knew that Sangvis Ferri would definitely send combat units to take back the communication station, she didn't expect them to come so quickly.

At this time, it was only less than ten minutes since they took down this place.

"Then don't stand there stupidly, hurry up and run away, mission accomplished." AK12 put away the data cable, rushed out of the communication station, and headed straight in the direction they came from. AN94 and the other two immediately followed.

If they didn't hurry, they would be surrounded by a large number of Sangvis Ferri Dolls. With their tattered bodies, it would be a bit difficult for them to escape if they were surrounded.

"Really? We fought our way in, and now we have to rush out again. Does Angelia treat us like Superman?"

"Superman is not as weak as you. Talk less and save some energy. We don't have much energy now. Be careful not to shut down due to insufficient energy before running out."

"Can't Angelia bleed a little and let Renault come to pick us up? It shouldn't cost much, right?" While running, RPK16 detected the Sangvis Ferri signals approaching from a distance.

"Don't think about it. Contacting Angie now is simply a dead end. If those guys detect the communication signal, they will definitely rush over immediately."

RPK16 curled her lips and stopped talking. She followed AN94 and ran forward.

...

"Now those guys are urging us, Persicaria, when can we find the thing you mentioned?"

Persica yawned, looked at the bearded guy in the communication, and scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly.

"Ahem, it's almost there, and I don't have much time recently. I have analyzed the previous data, and the only thing left is the No. 7 document left by Lycoris. There is no news about that document yet."

Hearing Persica's words, the Kryuger's eyes twitched.

You said it's almost there when there is no news? What's your logic?

"Anyway, the commander will help, plus the AR team, hurry up."

The military seemed to have lost their patience...

Tsk, it's really troublesome times now, why did the attitude of the military change so quickly, are they so anxious?

"Yes, yes." Ignoring her boss who was thinking with his head down, Persica waved his hand lightly. Obviously, there was no fixed time when this guy would do things seriously.

If possible, Kryuger didn't want to cooperate with Persica, a lazy bum, but Persica's technology was completely unique. The information left by Lycoris, as far as they know, can only be analyzed by Persica.

"Persica, is there another mission?" M16 held the bottle of wine and leaned against the door to taste it comfortably. Although several boxes were moved, no one knew when they could go to Renault's ship to "restock" next time, so they had to drink sparingly.

"Well? It's too early, don't worry, let's wait for me to figure out this Jupiter cannon first." She only knew the approximate location of the document left by Lycoris, which should be near the Main Factory of Sangvis Ferri.

According to Lycoris's method, it might be stored in a safe house, and it would be found by letting the AR team and the Dolls on Gentiane's side conduct a large-scale search.

It just takes a lot of time. Of course, this was the situation before the Sangvis Ferri gathered at the Sangvis Ferri HQ. It may not work now. A large-scale search would simply push the dolls under Gentia's command as targets in front of the Sangvis Ferri's guns.

"I see that Renault seems to be modifying this Jupiter Cannon as well. You can save yourself the trouble of research by simply asking Renault for some technical details."

"Go away, amateurs, leave the work site as soon as possible." Persica's forehead suddenly tensed up when she heard M16's words, and she waved her hand to drive M16 out of her laboratory.

Looking at the Jupiter Cannon data on the screen, Persica scratched her chin absentmindedly.

M4 and the others seemed to have seen the dolls under Angie before. If nothing unexpected happened, Angie must also be investigating the situation at the Sangvis Ferri side.

If it's that guy, the location of Document No. 7 should be available in no time...

Just thinking about it, the screen in front of Persica lit up again, "Another communication? Why is it endless... Hmm? Angie?"

"Ahaha... Long time no see, Persica," Angelia said dryly on the communicator.

Chapter 106: Can't Keep the Money

"I don't provide free services here." Looking at Angelia in the holographic image, Renault took the towel from Scarecrow and wiped the oil off his hands.

He had just finished modifying the Jupiter Cannon, and before he had time to sit down, he received a call from Angelia.

When Angelia called, it always meant she needed something, but she rarely had extra funds on hand. Except for the first few times, she was always stingy, and this time was probably the same.

"Damn it! You! Why are you asking always about money!? I have money! I have money this time! And it's a small matter for you. Helping AK12 and the others get out of the Sangvis siege isn't difficult for you, is it?"

As soon as the call connected, Renault's words went straight through her mind, making her feel a little numb, but it was precisely because of this that she called Persica before...

If she hadn't borrowed some money, she wouldn't have dared to call Renault now!

"That's better. I know the location. I will send them to Griffin. You can go to Griffin to pick them up then."

Anyway, even if Angelia designated the place herself, the transport plane that would pick them up would definitely come from Griffin.

It would be easier to send them directly to Griffin. After Renault finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Angelia on the other side looked at the disappearing holographic image, and was a little unresponsive.

After blinking, she frowned in a strange way, "Know the location? I shouldn't have revealed the location of AK12 and the others, right?"

Although AK12 and the others stayed on Renault's spaceship for a while before, they went directly to the artillery platform of Sangvis Ferri to collect intelligence after getting off the ship, but AK12 and the others were no longer in that base. Renault shouldn't know it, right?

But he just said that he knew the location...

Thinking of this, Angelia narrowed her eyes, wondering if Renault had done anything to AK12 and the others, or if there was any more advanced equipment that could lock the location of AK12 and the others at any time.

Compared to the latter, Angelia was more willing to believe the former, because AK12 and the others stayed on Renault's ship for a while, and RPK16 seemed to have brought something to Renault.

When Angelia received this news from AK12, she was also a little skeptical. After all, when she first took AK12 and a few others to Renault's ship, Renault did give RPK16 a full-body check.

It must be said that Renault is very courageous. He even dared to check the Dolls of the Bureau of State Security casually...

But who can blame him for being so skilled and daring?

He has a huge spaceship, let alone the Security Bureau, even the military does not possess the technology to let a behemoth like that fly freely in the sky.

She just doesn't know if the Relics Bureau has this kind of technology, but probably not. If they really did, I'm afraid someone would have built one long ago.

After all, it's about whether humans can break through that layer of heavy collapse radiation. I'm afraid no one can bear it.

Angelia shook her head, threw away those things that had nothing to do with her for the time being, and looked down at the amount that had just arrived in her account.

This is what she borrowed from Persica. Tsk, this is the first time for her to borrow money.

But there is no other way.

Now her team is trapped in the encirclement of Sangvis Ferri and can't get out. Borrowing money and asking Renault for help is the best way she can think of.

Although it is a bit difficult to say, as long as AK12 and the others can be brought back safely and the information they get can fall into her hands, asking Renault is the safest way.

But when she thought of her savings over the years, plus the funds on hand, all have been given to Renault, Angelia couldn't help but have a headache.

Also, thankfully she didn't need to pay for the maintenance and inspection of AK12 and the others, otherwise...

Angelia didn't wait for long. After half an hour, Renault's message was sent to her mobile phone.

'The person has been sent to the Griffin base, from the place Commandeered by Gentiane, just ask Persica for the person.'

"So fast?"

Angelia, who saw this message, looked at the balance in her account with a strange expression, and wondered if she had no luck with money.

Why did she have to give away her money less than an hour after it arrived in her hands?

...

Just as Angelia was paying Renault with great distress, AK12, who was standing at the gate of G&K Base and looking at FAL, who was patrolling, was also a little dumbfounded.

Ten minutes ago, they were still trapped in the encirclement of the Sangvis Ferri.

Now another ten minutes have passed, and she is already standing at the gate of Griffin Base, staring at a Griffin doll...

It can only be said that Renault's spaceship is too convenient. It landed in front of a large group of Sangvis units, and then opened a door underneath for them to enter.

As a result, they ran onto the ship panting for a few minutes, and when they were about to take a break and look for Renault, they were let down again...

What the hell is going on!?

"Huh, we finally got out. I don't know how many days I can rest this time." RPK16 shook her arms, which were not very flexible. It could be heard that some parts seemed to be broken.

"Why does Commander Renault know our location?" Just as RPK16 was complaining, AK15 turned her head and looked at RPK16 and asked.

When they were in action, all external communication channels were closed and no signals were sent out. In addition to the interference from Sangvis Ferri, even Renault could not find their location so accurately.

"Hmm? Secret." RPK16 said this, but she took out a mobile phone from her bag and shook it in front of several people.

Seeing this familiar mobile phone, AK12 pulled the corner of her mouth, and AN94 also understood.

No wonder, they possess a mobile phone made by Renault, how could the other party not know their specific location...

Seeing this, AK15 did not continue to ask, after all, the mobile phone in RPK16's hand was also in Angelia's hand.

FAL, who was on the other side, couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

Hearing FAL's question, AN94 blinked and looked at AK12.

"Anyway, we are not Sangvis, you'd better not tell about us to others." AK12 said this, waving her hands helplessly.

It was all Renault's fault. He threw them at the door of Griffin Base without asking. Fortunately, only this doll saw them, otherwise, Angie would probably have a headache again.

"Huh?" FAL raised her eyebrows in annoyance when she heard this. She was hesitating whether to report it, and then she heard Persica's voice from the communication channel.

"Hello? This is Persica. Let those dolls in. I will explain the details to Gentiane."

Chapter 107: New Body

"It only took more than 20 minutes to go back and forth, and a full 3 million was deposited into the account. You really make a lot of money," Dinergate RPK16, who was close to Renault's phone and saw the account notification, couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just once in a while. It's not every day that there are people easy to exploit like Angelia."

To be honest, such an easy job like that only be proposed by Angelia. He really wanted more business like that, but unfortunately, no one else came to him.

"Hehe, if Angelia knew you called her easily exploited, she would be so angry. By the way, what are you doing? Didn't you say you would make a new body for us? Why are you fiddling with these cat ears?"

"Experiment," Renault said and directly stuck the cat ears in his hand on the shell of Dinergate RPK16.

"Huh? I can't believe you're so good at this. Wait!? What's up with this thing? Why can it move!?"

It's nothing strange for RPK16 that the cat ears he made can move. It's not strange to put this kind of bionic equipment on a Doll.

Didn't you see that even Persica, a human, can have cat ears on his head?

But the problem is that she just watched Renault 'rub' out these cat ears!

It's not an exaggeration! They were really rubbed out. Just use the unknown materials in the jar over there, put them in your hands and squeeze them a few times, and the purple materials will directly turn into these cat ears.

Originally, RPK16 thought it was just a toy like plasticine, but after Renault put it on her head, she found that this thing...

It seems to really move!

"Try to shake your ears."

"Shake my ears? How can I do that? I'm not... a cat?" Dinergate RPK16 shouted angrily.

Shaking her ears was something she couldn't do even when she was still a doll, let alone a Dinergate!

Before she finished her angry words, RPK16 felt that the cat ears on her body seemed to shake a few times as she imagined...

And... where did this feeling come from? The sensor inside the Dinergate didn't seem to be able to detect this slight vibration...

Before RPK16 could figure it out, Renault had already raised his hand and pulled the cat ears off RPK16.

While Renault was exerting force, RPK16 seemed to feel a little... pain?

Looking at the cat ears that Renault held in his hand again, RPK16, the Dinergate, couldn't help but be curious and asked Renault, "What is that? I clearly didn't feel any data connection; I shouldn't be able to feel the existence of that thing..."

"The material for the new body. It means you may need to say goodbye to the battlefield for a long time in the future."

"What do you mean?"

Say goodbye to the battlefield? I can't go to the battlefield or something else?

When did this guy start being mysterious?

"Literally, your new body won't be able to adapt to your original level of combat capability immediately. The adaptation and

growth period will take about a month."

A month?

You call this a long time?

RPK16 looked at Renault speechlessly, always feeling that this guy had some misunderstanding of the term 'a long time.'

Next, Renault picked up RPK16, the Dinergate, without saying anything, took his notebook and some tools, and walked out of the workshop.

Looking at the material jars in her hands, RPK16 observed the strange-looking materials closely... You don't know until you see them. After a glance, she found that these materials were not unknown things but things she have seen previously!.

They were simply the fungal mats used as culture media in the farm!

She had seen fungal mats when she first came here. When she first saw them, she was a little curious about what they were. She thought they were just some strange nutrient materials...

Now that she thinks about it... this thing is alive!?

"Hey! Where are you taking me? If you want to change my body, shouldn't it be in the workshop?"

"It's right next to it. A warehouse was cleaned up before and used as a new laboratory. You are the first user of the new body."

"Then, isn't this just a test product?!"

"That's right."

Hearing Renault's words, RPK16 wanted to roll her eyes, but it was a pity that the Dinergate didn't have this function. However, after a little thought, RPK16 put aside the imbalance in her heart. If this is the price she needs to pay, it is undoubtedly acceptable.

After all, she is just a Dinergate now.

Compared to the little risk of the experiment, she is more afraid that she will be trapped in the body of a Dinergate in the future.

But when Renault pushed open the door of the warehouse next door, what RPK16 saw was not a doll body transformation workbench, but a culture tank that is often seen in movies.

At first glance, it looks a bit similar to the doll repair pod, but these culture tanks are not filled with clear liquid, but a whole mass of dark purple... fungal blanket?

Is this the backup cultivation room of CF05's farm?

When thinking of the plants growing out of the fungus mat, Dinergate RPK16 had a strange feeling, as if she was going to grow out of the fungus mat like those plants...

It must be said that RPK16's feeling was not wrong. She did need to grow out of these fungus mats...

After taking out her neural core and connecting the data cable, Renault directly stuffed her neural core into the culture tank.

Because she was separated from the Dinergate's shell, RPK16 also lost her perception of the outside world for a while. When she fell into darkness in her mind space, Renault's voice became her only way to perceive the outside world.

"Start the neural test now. Remember not to think about some messy things during the process. Otherwise, don't say I didn't remind you if you grow into something weird."

Messy things?

RPK16 muttered helplessly in her heart, but she couldn't reply at all now, so she could only respond silently in her heart.

After starting the RPK16 mental verification program, Renault nodded, looked at the growth status of the fungus blanket in the culture tank, pulled a stool and sat down. The whole process would last for several hours.

This was the first time, so he had to watch it here, so that it wouldn't be so troublesome in the future.

...

"Uh, it's really troublesome. They are all military parts. I miscalculated. Next time, I must ask Angelia for more repair fees." Looking at the Task Force DEFY lying in the repair room, Persica bit her finger and said indignantly.

She lent Angelica some money before, but now she didn't expect that she would have to chip in for the materials to help repair these dolls.

But fortunately, they are really capable, and the information she got is really very useful.

In this case, Griffin's request is...

Chapter 108: Mission

"Huh? Impossible!" Hearing Persica's request, Gentiane drew a big cross with her arms on her chest. "No matter how you think about it, it's impossible! Sending the AR team to the Headquarters of Sangvis Ferri to find intelligence is complete suicide for them!"

After the military took action against Sangvis Ferri, Sangvis Ferri began to shrink their defenses, and most of their combat units gathered near the original factory areas of Sangvis Ferri.

The number of Sangvis Ferri units is impossible to predict, and most of the combat units are armored units.

If only the AR team is allowed to sneak in, M4 and the other three... they can't complete the mission at all!

For this kind of suicidal mission, Gentiane refused without hesitation. Even if Persica was the real owner of the AR team, she didn't want to see the AR team sacrifice themselves for a mission pointlessly.

"Tsk, so troublesome..." Persica frowned and bit her finger in frustration.

Griffin's boss and the military have urged her several times. If she wants to restore all of Lyco's research, the document is necessary. Although she got some inspiration from Renault's phone before, M4 successfully woke up.

But the method is completely different from Lyco's, and it has nothing to do with the Ruins technology. To be honest, she is now a little worried about whether the technology developed by Lycoris can be reproduced on M4.

If she gets the document, because of her previous modification of M4, it will lead to... No, no, no, don't think so much now. You must get the data quickly to continue the research; otherwise, everything is just her own unwarranted speculation.

The silence between the two did not last long before it was interrupted by a sudden communication.

"Commander Gentiane, Persica's mission is the top priority." Helian appeared in the holographic communication with an expressionless face and issued an ultimatum to Gentiane, "Griffin will provide the greatest help within the scope of permission."

With one sentence, Helian directly confirmed the mission proposed by Persica, and now Gentiane's refusal is obviously invalid.

"But, Commander Helianthus! The current Sangvis Ferri is not something that the AR team can handle on its own! They..."

"Commander Gentiane, this is a mission." Helian said, and regardless of Gentiane's expression at the moment, she directly cut off the communication.

Hearing this, Gentiane frowned a little annoyed but finally sighed helplessly. There was no other way, so she could only bite the bullet.

Fortunately, Helian promised that the AR team could get the greatest support within the scope of permission, which means that the manpower and resources she can mobilize this time are all extraordinary...

What on earth is it? Is this mission worth Griffin's use of large scale resources? Even when Sangvis Ferri launched a massive attack, it didn't reach this kind of drive to spend much...

Well, maybe there are not many commanders in Griffin now, so they can provide more support to her?

Scratching her head with some hesitation, Gentiane looked at Persica on the opposite side, "Let me make it clear first, I am not interested in what the document and data are, but if necessary, I will let the AR team and my dolls retreat in advance."

"Well, that's fine." Persica's eyes flickered, and her attitude was a little ambiguous.

Seeing that Persica was still sloppy and unkempt, Gentiane sighed helplessly and began to prepare to mobilize the dolls under her command.

This time, it was not a small scale battle.

Whether it was the armored units of Sangvis Ferri or the recently established Jupiter artillery platform, they were extremely deadly to the dolls of Griffin.

Didn't she heard from RO that Architect of Sangvis Ferri had been kidnapped by Renault before?

How come there are still dolls on the Sangvis Ferri side who can build so many artillery platforms in a short time?

Tsk! Really tricky!

Just as Gentiane was racking her brains to think about the battle plan, a Griffin transport plane quietly landed at the Griffin base's airport. A figure jumped down from the cabin lightly and then went directly to Persica's laboratory.

"I don't know if Persica will ask for the debt, but the news this time has been given to her. It's just three million. She won't be so petty, right?" Angelia scratched her chin and looked around with some worry.

This Griffin base is still very large. It can be seen that Griffin has really invested a lot of money here. After all, the funds spent on a base of this size have completely exceeded Griffin's original HQ.

Seeing this, Angelia roughly understood that it was probably a place like the backup HQ. After all, even if it is a security contractor, it is still a PMC in essence.

Although their current range of activities is relatively wide, things always change...

...

"This is... the new body? Why does it look so weak?" SOP2 lay on the culture tank, staring at RPK16, who had already restored her appearance.

Renault did not hide the change of location from anyone, so it didn't take long for the dolls to come to the door.

Unlike the doll body that SOP2 and the others replaced before, RPK16's body at this time looked extremely fragile. If it weren't for the nutrient solution, SOP2 doubted whether her body would break at the touch of a button.

"It was like this at the beginning, but after having her as the first one, the subsequent bodies will not be so troublesome."

Renault looked at RPK16's body and nodded with satisfaction. It was basically the same as what he had imagined at the beginning. As long as the dolls ensured their own consciousness during the mental test, they could build a body by themselves through the nutrients such as fungal mats.

Of course, this requires a little guidance.

"Is this body really stronger than the one we are using now?" HK416 asked with some concern.

Although RPK16's body is flesh and blood at this moment, which does make her a little envious, if the strength of this body is extremely fragile, just like ordinary humans... then how can they fight in the future?

How fragile the human body is, they have seen it countless times in the training device...

"Don't worry, it won't be very fragile. She still has room to grow." Renault waved at HK416, he naturally knew what HK416 was worried about.

"Growth?"

"Well, almost. Remember to notify G36 later that our Miss RPK16 needs calcium supplements, and of course protein."

"Uh? Calcium supplements? Protein?"

Chapter 109: Fragility

"Gently! Gently! G11 and G36, you two go over and help! Everyone else, stay away!"

Seeing RPK16, whose steps were unsteady and even a little unstable, Renault shouted anxiously to the surrounding dolls for the first time.

HK416 and SOP2, who wanted to go forward, paused and watched helplessly as G11 and G36 walked forward and helped RPK16 out of the culture tank.

"Why G11 and G36?" HK416 couldn't help asking.

There were so many dolls here, and Renault had to ask G11 and G36 to help. Why couldn't others do it?

"Of course, they have better strength control, and if G3 were here, I would definitely ask G3 and G36 to help."

Although G11 usually spends the most time in the training room, how can she be stronger than G3, the pastry chef who decorates and shapes desserts and cakes every day?

The same goes for G36. If she doesn't have good strength control, then all the meals on the ship would turn into various unknown solid and liquid mixtures.

Although other dolls have good control, they are not as good as G3 and G36, who are "practicing" every day.

After helping the trembling RPK16 down, M1 Garand and Scarecrow dressed her. Her current physical condition seems unsuitable for wearing clothes that require lifting her hands and feet.

"Hey, Renault, she can't even stand up straight now. Can this new body really work?"

RPK16 now looks pink and tender, just like a newborn baby. Can a body like that really support their usual battles?

As it concerned her new body, Architect naturally ran over early, but after seeing RPK16's current body, she couldn't help but wonder if Renault had created a body like that for RPK16 with some ulterior motives.

"Hush, keep your voice down, she is still adapting." Renault said and stepped forward to carefully look at RPK16's eyes. RPK16 had just come out of the culture tank, and her eyes were still a little uncomfortable with the brightness in the room at this time. Her eyes squinted uncomfortably.

And Architect's shouting just now also brought her a lot of trouble. The fragile auditory system could not bear Architect's harsh shouting.

However, this situation is only temporary. Just wait for a while, and RPK16's physical condition will return to a normal level.

But Renault obviously can't equip this guy with a body that is the same as ordinary human physical fitness. He is not a charity. The new body must be able to adapt to various combat missions and surpass the original iron lumps.

As RPK16 opened her eyes completely and began to look around with her eyes rolling, Renault nodded, "It seems that she has adapted a little. Try to say a few words."

"Uh...ah...I, this is...?"

Unlike using the doll vocal organs, when making sounds, RPK16 could clearly feel her vocal cords vibrating and air flowing from her mouth.

This feeling is completely different from the past, and RPK16 was stunned.

It's just that her blank expression at this time made the surrounding dolls wonder if this girl has lost her memory or something... After all, it looks like it...

"Commander, is she losing her memory?" Simonov turned her head and asked Renault. RPK16's current performance looked a little bad.

"No, she is just adapting to her new body."

The new body is completely different from the previous doll bodies. All senses, whether hearing, vision, or touch, are completely different from the operation of the bionic modules of the doll body.

For the doll, it does take some time to adapt to this difference.

But the main reason should be fatigue. After all, RPK16's current body is definitely not in good physical condition. In addition, because of the new life, she needs to spend a lot of energy just to turn her head.

"How long will it take?"

AR15 frowned. She thought that the new body Renault created this time should be a stronger new body than the one she had originally.

Who knew RPK16 would be like this now? She had to say that she was a little disappointed.

"It won't take long. It will be ready soon, but her body needs time to grow."

After Renault finished speaking, RPK16 finally came back to her senses and looked at Renault with some disbelief. "Huh, it's a magical feeling. Is this how being a human feels like?"

"Human? No, humans don't have this feeling."

Renault raised his eyebrows. It seems that RPK16 has adapted to her body, but her current body obviously has no direct connection with humans.

I'm afraid that only the appearance looks like a human. Although the internal structure is not much different from that of humans, in essence, it is more like a zerg in human skin.

Whether it is perception ability or growth speed, it is far beyond the reach of humans.

"Well, anyway, I am at least a living being now, right? Do I not need to charge in the future?"

"Yes, you don't need to charge, but you need to eat."

"The wheelchair is here!" MDR suddenly shouted, pushing a 'wheelchair' modified from the chassis of the Prowler and appeared in front of everyone together with M870.

Of course, there are no ordinary wheelchairs on the spacecraft, but the chassis and parts of the Ranger are available as many as you want. You only need to install a seat on the chassis of the Ranger. MDR can still handle this kind of small matter by herself.

After G11 and G36 carefully moved RPK16 to this simple 'wheelchair', a group of dolls followed her and walked towards the restaurant of the spacecraft.

Sitting on the chair, RPK16 tried to move her fingers and arms constantly to speed up her familiarity with this body.

As she got closer and closer to the restaurant, RPK16 also smelled an enticing fragrance.

Although she had smelled this smell before through the bionic module, this time it was different. Unlike those data streams that were transformed into data and then processed by the bionic module, the smell she smelled this time was very clear and could not be quantified at all.

"Hmm, this smell, why didn't I think it was so good before?" RPK16 said in a daze. Coupled with the strange feeling in her stomach, she couldn't help but want to stand up from the wheelchair and rush into the restaurant.

However, her current body was not enough to support her to make such a move. She felt tired just by raising her hand, so how could she stand up and rush into the restaurant?

Gurgle!

RPK16's stomach also began to make a sound, as if urging her to eat quickly.

RPK16, who heard her stomach gurgling, looked at the dolls around her in embarrassment. When she saw that they didn't notice her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 110: I Have a Bad Feeling

"Hmm? Hmm?" Persica raised her eyebrows and stood beside the repair room where RPK16 was, observing back and forth.

It's not that there is anything wrong with RPK16, but this guy kept staring with her eyes while being repaired, which was completely different from other dolls and really made her curious.

Looking at RPK16's eyes that kept following her movements, Persica couldn't help but ask, "Why are you staring? Isn't it good to close your eyes and rest?"

RPK16 narrowed her eyes and shook her head at Persica. Although there were not so many staff members patrolling around the Griffin base, and no one could directly shut down her system, she felt it was better to keep her eyes open and be alert.

Although Persica might not do anything to her, it was not certain for other people inside Griffin.

AK15, in the repair room next to her, opened her eyes, perhaps because she heard Persica's voice. She turned her head to look at RPK16, who was still staring, and then she opened her eyes and looked around.

"Uh..."

Persica wanted to ask a few more questions to find out why RPK16 was so alert, but now that she saw AK15 staring at her, Persica felt that her muscles were twitching.

Sure enough, her AR team was well-behaved.

Shaking her head, Persica left the repair room and asked Angelia, who was checking data documents outside, "Are all your dolls always so alert? They are vigilant even when entering the repair pod."

"Huh? Which one?" Angelia asked without turning her head, staring at the screen.

"Who else could it be, with white hair... Tsk, the one with the smile." Persica suddenly remembered that all of Angelica's dolls had silver-white hair, and the only notable feature of RPK16 was probably the smile.

Although AK12 usually had a smile, it was obviously impossible for AK12 to stare, so the only one left was RPK16.

After learning about the abnormality of RPK16, Angelica shrugged her shoulders, "Don't ask me, I don't know. That guy had contact with Renault alone. Who knows what Renault did to her."

"Impossible, I have checked it, and there is no sign of Renault's action at all."

The bureau saw several of them through the backdoor set up in the doll's neural cloud. Of course, Persica didn't say the second half of the sentence, after all, it was not something that could be boasted about.

If she really said it, those guys from the security bureau would come to her door to interrogate her in a few hours.

"I don't know whether he did it or not, but once the dolls meet that guy, there is an 80% chance that they will be fooled. How many dolls have been taken away by him from Griffin?"

When these words came out, Persica was stunned.

No one knows better than Persica how Renault got all the dolls on the ship. There were dozens of dolls, and almost all of them were fooled from Griffin.

Some of the dolls resigned and changed jobs on their own initiative... Although there was also the reason that the original commander was not doing his job, it was a very outrageous thing that Griffin's tactical dolls took the initiative to change jobs in the first place...

"Well, that's what you said, but the guys under you..."

"No one can predict this kind of thing. Who knows if Renault has any tricks up his sleeve? And now there's no time to figure out what's in his head. Didn't Griffin urge you to do things quickly? Are you so leisurely every day?"

Angelia looked back helplessly at Persica, who was turning over the sugar jar and pouring it into the mug. This guy had been wandering back and forth for a long time while she was sitting here, but she didn't do anything serious.

"Well, I can't help it either. Some equipment broke down before, and now the only piece of the puzzle is the one you mentioned. There's nothing else to do recently." Persica shrugged.

"Then you have to prepare your dolls. The Sangvis Ferri are like an iron barrel now. It is impossible to get that thing without paying a price."

Even AK12 and her men didn't get any good results in the hands of the Sangvis Ferri. They were chased by the armored echelon all the way. In the end, it was Renault who came to the rescue and brought them out.

If it were Griffin, and the AR team was missing two people, most of Griffin's combat units would probably be lost.

When she thought of this, Angelica remembered the UMP45 and UMP9 that were fooled away by Renault, especially UMP45, an electronic warfare doll.

Tsk tsk, if used to deal with the Sangvis Ferri, it would be...

Forget it, there is no point in thinking about it now. Although AK12 and his men have some electronic warfare equipment on them, they are more inclined to combat rather than infiltration, so their electronic warfare effectiveness is certainly not as strong as UMP45.

Just like this mission, if UMP45 was the leader, maybe she wouldn't have to borrow money from Renault to rescue the people. Renault, that bastard! He's obsessed with money! If she had known this, she should have directly borrowed UMP45 from Renault!

While Persica and Angelia were exchanging information, Gentiane was not idle at this time.

The support that Helian mentioned before has now become visible and tangible supplies and has been sent to the Griffin base. In addition, a large number of armored vehicles and transport planes have landed here.

"Tsk, this is a large operation, why do i always feel like I'm trapped. It was said that we only need to deal with sporadic Sangvis Ferri, but now we have to fight a head-on battle with Sangvis Ferri?"

"What are you thinking, Commander, a head-on battle is impossible. The number of armored units on the Sangvis Ferri side is much larger than our dolls." While recording the supplies entering the warehouse, Kalina shook the pen in her hand.

Their mission this time was not to launch a general attack on Sangvis Ferri, but just to launch a feint attack on Sangvis Ferri from one direction.

Although it was just a feint, all the Sangvis Ferri units were gathered together now. If they wanted to attract Sangvis Ferri's attention and make those units hiding in the factory move, then a small-scale harassment would definitely not work.

If they wanted to attract attention, they had to put on a good show at least.

"I always have a bad feeling, especially about those transport planes..." Hearing Kalina's words, Gentiane turned her head and looked at the transport planes parked at the small airport.

Chapter 111: Where to Live?

"Burp!"

RPK16 covered her mouth and burped a little embarrassedly. Although she had tasted Renault's food here before, but now she has more appreciation to these and had a greater appetite facing these foods today.

So much so that she started to overeat and now she is almost unable to walk.

"Well, although I can't see what's so great about this body, this appetite is really something, even SPAS-12 can't compare. Look at this belly, it's almost seven months old, right?"

Watching RPK16 clear the whole table of food, MDR was dumbfounded. While teasing, he touched RPK16's swollen belly.

It's not like she hasn't seen dolls that can eat a whole buffet table. Whether it's SPAS-12 or Type 56, they are the ones that can eat more than a regular doll.

But it's the first time she's seen someone change their body shape just by eating.

This time, her commander really made an incredible body!

Just when a group of dolls were staring at RPK16's belly, making her look a little embarrassed, HK416 suddenly asked about RPK16's current energy problem, "It seems that her body doesn't have an energy engine implanted in it? How does she charge her body?"

While speaking, HK416 also circled around RPK16 and didn't see any charging interface on her body.

"It's just been charged." Renault pointed to the empty plates on the table, scratched his chin, and observed RPK16's current changes with interest.

It has only been about half an hour since RPK16's body took shape. Now her body has basically stabilized. The only thing left is to eat more nutritious food to replenish her body and make her body stronger.

In this way, Renault can also extract samples from her body and use them as examples for the growth of other doll bodies to promote their growth.

"Charge? This is clearly eating... huh?"

HK416, who subconsciously wanted to say that RPK16 was just eating, reacted instantly, staring at RPK16, and then at Renault.

"She doesn't need to charge anymore in the future? Just eat? Like humans!?"

"That's right." Renault nodded firmly in the burning eyes of the dolls.

After hearing Renault's affirmation, both HK416 and AR15 felt their minds were a mess and had an abrupt dizziness after looking at each other.

Is this true? It's not fake? How is it possible?

"Well, thank you for the hospitality, Commander. Can I stay in your lounge?"

While the group of dolls was still in a trance, RPK16 stood up and asked Renault, holding her stomach. Her smiling expression was all about "making trouble."

"Huh!?"

Upon hearing this, both M1 Garand and M1911 suddenly woke up and stared at RPK16 with vigilant eyes.

Stay in Renault's captain's room!? What a joke! They haven't lived there yet!

"M1911, I remember there should be a vacant place over there in the cattery, right?"

"Huh? There is, but I guess it will be renamed the fox den in the future."

"Haha, it's so sour."

Listening to the bickering of several people, Renault shrugged his shoulders, grabbed a hamburger from G36, and walked towards the workshop. The sample of the body is already there. The next step is to wait for RPK16's body to grow up, and then extract the gene sample to be as the base sample for the other doll bodies. This will take a little time and can't be rushed.

The Jupiter Cannon has also been modified. The next problem is the spaceship. When this spaceship was built, he thought that this size of spaceship was enough.

Who would have thought that the number of dolls in the family would increase sharply.

If it weren't for the sale of a batch of goods to Griffin before, which vacated a few warehouses, I'm afraid there would be no place to live now.

"Commander, can RPK16's body really cope with the battlefield?" Seeing Renault walking towards the workshop, the two Scarecrows followed.

"Of course it can, but it will take time, about a month. The subsequent bodies will not take so long. With the gene sample of RPK16, the subsequent bodies will have functions similar to RPK16 immediately as long as they are formed."

As Renault said, he looked back at the two Scarecrows, "By the way, have you two come up with names?"

It's a bit difficult to distinguish them if it goes on like this.

"No.1."

"No.2."

Huh?

Hearing the words spoken by the two Scarecrows one after another, Renault even stopped chewing.

These two guys? What kind of names are these?

They are not Kamen Riders, can't they think of proper names?

It seems that in order to distinguish them easily, Scarecrow No.1 even combed her double ponytails into a single ponytail.

Ah...

Number One has one ponytail, Number Two has two, so if another Scarecrow appears in the future, wouldn't she have to comb three ponytails? And so on?

...

In the restaurant, RPK16's quarrel with everyone didn't last long, because RPK16 was really sleepy.

"Heh--!"

After a long yawn, RPK16 rubbed her eyes and sat down again lazily.

When she was still a Tactical Doll, she never felt this kind of fatigue. At most, she felt a little weak when her energy was insufficient. This feeling of sleepiness was really fresh.

However, when RPK16 sat down, the dolls standing around couldn't help it. They came over and stretched out their hands to pinch her silently.

"Wow, it feels different! This is much better than bionic skin!"

RPK16 rolled her eyes. She couldn't resist the sleepiness, so she let these guys do it.

Anyway, she wouldn't lose a piece of meat.

MDR was full of energy taking pictures around RPK16, thinking about how much new attention she could get by sending this message and photos to the anonymous board.

Of course, it was just a thought.

A body that was almost exactly the same as that of a human, and a doll happen to possess this body. This kind of thing could never be sent to the anonymous board.

Although it was Griffin's anonymous board, her account was known to almost all of Griffin's tactical dolls. So as long as she sent a message, it wouldn't take long for not only Griffin but the whole world to know the technology Renault had.

By then, not to mention Griffin, Universal, Ultilife, Svarog Heavy Industries, 42lab, IOP, and other forces will definitely jump out to attack Renault.

Its just that if this kind of news can't be sent out, it really makes people like MDR feel itchy...

However, after comparing the importance of gaining attention and facing Renault's iron fist sanctions, MDR decided to save all the photos from RPK16 and release them if they are useful in the future or when things become less important.

Chapter 112: Difference

Even though Gentiane was extremely reluctant, both her boss and the military were urging her to do it.

This somewhat hasty feint finally began while Gentiane was worried, "Fortunately, we only deployed the doll echelon to a location near the Sangvis Ferri control area. Otherwise, I always feel that those transport planes would be shot down by Sangvis Ferri."

"Don't worry, all the dolls have done neural cloud backups before they were dispatched this time, and because Sangvis Ferri has shrunk its control area, our signal transmission is still fine, and there will be no problem uploading the backup in real time."

Kalina comforted her, saying that as long as communication could be kept unobstructed, Griffin's dolls could perform real-time backups.

"Huh, that being said..." Hearing what Kalina said, Gentiane suddenly thought of MDR in the base, as well as the large number of ordinary tactical dolls, such as Nagant Revolver and the others.

Advanced dolls, such as G36, do not have any duplicates, and most of them are unique. But low-level dolls are different. They are ordinary and inconspicuous, but they make up a large part of Griffin's tactical doll team.

Why do so many tactical dolls with the same model code and sometimes even the same appearance appear? Every commander of Griffin and even the boss of Griffin knows it well.

And the neural cloud map technology, after all, is just a system that exists to preserve the valuable combat experience in the minds of tactical dolls. Its purpose is not to ensure that dolls can be resurrected at any time.

The memories of dolls are just...

Forget it, don't think about these things.

"Has Task Force DEFY been sent off?"

It seems that AK-12 and others need to cooperate with the AR Team's actions this time. Angelia also revealed the name of her team to Gentiane for the first time.

The name of this team just sounds like they are purposely for Spec-Ops, especially since the other party even blocked the cognitive system of her dolls for them.

"They have already set off. Commander Angelia also complained about Griffin's transport plane problem, but the specific records... seem to have been deleted. If I hadn't watched them set off, I would have really doubted whether I remembered something wrong."

"Tsk, can't we use this convenient technology? If we can block the perception of Sangvis Ferri on our side, wouldn't we be able to swagger into Sangvis Ferri's Factory 0 and capture the opponent's mainframe."

"Of course not, this is illegal."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. I guess in a while, maybe the security contractor will become an illegal organization."

In addition to handling various affairs in the base every day, Gentiane is not oblivious to what is happening outside.

Recently, the Bureau of State Security is gradually cleaning up those large and small security contractors. She is not unaware of it.

Griffin has not been liquidated yet, probably only because Griffin is still somewhat useful. Otherwise, it would have been swept into the garbage dump long ago.

However, she estimated that it would be soon.

The recent change in the military's attitude towards Griffin was the best proof. Originally, whether it was the mobilization of transport planes or armored vehicles, the military would not ask about these matters.

But recently, the various accountability and action reports that needed to be submitted to the military and Statesec increased suddenly.

Even to mobilize an all-terrain vehicle equipped with a heavy machine gun, she now had to write an extra report!

There were not so many reports to write before. At most, it was just some ammunition and equipment mobilization application reports.

"Well, it shouldn't be that bad. Our relationship with the military should be okay. The boss is not without any connections with the military."

You know, whether it is the construction of various bases or the heavy equipment they usually use, most of them are approved by the military.

Although IOP has provided a lot of financial support, the license certificate is mostly a convenient door opened by the military.

Therefore, what Griffin said is not wrong. After all, her boss is originally from the military.

Isn't it normal to have a good relationship?

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. The AR Team is about to reach the designated location." Shaking her head, she threw away these twists and turns that probably had nothing to do with her.

Gentiane looked at the combat command system, and after confirming the current position of the AR Team, her expression became serious and she stood up straight.

...

Cathouse.

"Meow~" Nyto, who had always had little presence, was squatting in front of the cat's nest, holding a cat teaser in his hand, swinging it in the expectant eyes of Jaeger, trying to attract the attention of a super-large orange cat this way.

"Alas, big orange is getting lazier now." Looking at the big orange cat that didn't pay any attention to people at all, Jaeger sighed helplessly and stretched out her hand to lift the big orange cat up.

Even when lifted in the air, the super-large orange cat just rubbed lazily on Jaeger's arm and didn't even intend to open his eyes.

"It seems to sleep very comfortably?" Nyto put down the cat teaser, plucked up her courage, stretched out her hand, and stroked big orange, saying with some envy.

"Hmm? By the way, the commander didn't seem to assign you a dormitory, did he? I see you've been hanging around on the ship for a while. Come to my place, there's an empty dormitory next to mine!"

Maybe she heard something, or maybe she just thought about it, Jaeger threw the big orange cat down, pulled up Nyto, and ran out, leaving big orange who fell down on the spot looking at the cat house door in a daze and aggrieved.

"Well, I didn't expect that even Nyto from Paradeus looks no different." SpectreM4 said, while reaching out and pushing M14 beside her.

"Huh? When did you come?" M14, who was frowning, was suddenly pushed by someone and suddenly found that there was someone beside her.

"I stood here from the beginning, okay? I came here five minutes earlier than you!"

"Five minutes? Are you standing here just to stare at Nyto?"

"What else? What are you doing here, sneaking around?" SpectreM4 asked, picking up the snacks at hand and eating them.

"I just came here to help UMP40 see if her two troublemakers are in the cattery. It is said that these days, except for eating at the restaurant at mealtime, they don't even come back to the cattery at other times. Didn't you see the two little guys?"

"No, you can see them here too. There's only the lazy guy orange. For this kind of thing, why don't you just go find wz.29? The monitoring equipment on the bridge can see it at a glance."

"I know."

"Then you still..."

"Can't I just come here to slack off?"

"Uh..."

Chapter 113: Too Big!

Unlike a certain Griffin commander who was concentrating on the personnel transfer, Renault didn't have so many things to do.

Everything that needed to be done had been done, and the next step was just to wait for a while.

Now that he had some free time, he could think about how to expand the spaceship.

The primary problem of the spaceship now was the lack of space in the living area, and there was no place to put the two modified Jupiter cannons.

If he wanted to modify the spaceship on the original basis, he would have to compress the space inside the spaceship, but this was obviously not what Renault wanted. Originally, the space for activities on the ship was very limited. Compressing the space in other parts in order to install weapons would only make the spaceship more crowded.

Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse? He just wanted to live more comfortably, and there were only two modified Jupiter cannons, which were just temporary substitutes for the weapon system. It was not worth it for him to wrong himself for this.

"What are you drawing?" Architect, who chased Renault to the workshop and tried to urge him to replace her body to no avail, stretched his neck to look at the design in Renault's hand.

"A new spaceship, or a spaceship expansion plan."

"Eh——"

Listening to Architect's drawn-out tone, Renault rolled his eyes at the guy. "As for the body, I'll make it for you when RPK16 grows up. If you are so anxious, instead of looking for me, you might as well go to G36 and think about how to configure nutritious meals for RPK16."

"Well, that kind of thing should be left to professionals, but where did you learn this technology from? The current RPK16 looks exactly like a human, right? If other humans knew..."

Turning a doll into a human, this kind of horrifying thing is simply news that can detonate the world for other people.

The doll technology was originally developed just to deal with the situation of insufficient human population and the inability to clean up and develop polluted areas.

Who would have thought that the polluted areas has not been developed much, but the dolls are shining in the civilian field?

No matter where you go, you can see the figures of civilian dolls everywhere.

If so many dolls want to become humans... it will be a devastating blow to the current situation of the whole world.

"If you know it, you know it. There is nothing to worry about."

Besides, Renault has no intention of spreading this technology casually.

And this is not a technology that can be spread casually. Once there is really a lunatic with no bottom line who uses the genes of the alien swarm, then the first thing humans will face is not the crisis of relic technology, but the crisis of the Zerg.

That's why Renault let RPK16's body grow slowly. The main reason is that he removed a large part of the genes of the Zerg.

Otherwise, relying on the spread of Zerg Creep alone, RPK16 can form a Zerg Creep with just a few drops of her blood.

Although there are some exaggerated elements in it, the genes he carries are so difficult to control. He is fine because he can control it freely.

"You are really carefree. Do we have any other business besides selling vegetables? We are just wandering around doing nothing now, right?"

In the past few days on the spaceship, Architect has memorized all the cruise routes of the spaceship. After all, she can go around these places one by one in a day. After several days, she can remember them.

"It's okay if you can find a reliable business." Renault shrugged his shoulders. The problem of the company now is that there is no business coming to the door, especially the business that suits Renault's taste.

It's not impossible to entrust the company with the escort of goods, but most of the merchants who cooperated with them at the time left the city because of the influence of Sangvis Ferri, and some were investigated by Statesec or the military.

Although most of them were released intact, no one is willing to find Renault now. After all, Renault's initial cost for transport is really not low. What they are transporting were just some ordinary goods. The price they have to pay is a bit too high.

"Okay! That's what you said! Don't forget to give me a raise when the time comes!" Upon hearing what Renault said, Architect immediately got excited and slid out on the wheels under her feet. The speed was as fast as a racecar.

This guy, those wheels really let her play with them.

"Hey! Architect!?" Seeing Architect rushing out, Gager hurriedly chased after her, fearing that this guy would suddenly slip and fall somewhere.

"Let Architect find a commission... Commander, aren't you worried that she will get into trouble?"

"What kind of trouble can there be? Anyway, there is nothing to do now. Besides, if nothing unexpected happens next, we will need a large number of materials and equipment here. The equipment on the ship is not enough."

Whether it is to expand the spacecraft or rebuild a new one, the size of the hull must be much larger than the current one. The amount of various materials that need to be handled at that time is definitely not something that the equipment on the ship can handle.

Hearing what Renault said, Scarecrow No. 1's eyes twitched, and she immediately remembered the days when she was busy with a group of Rippers. However, this time, with the help of No. 2, the Sangvis Dolls' team has expanded a lot. She shouldn't be as busy as it was back then, right?

Although she likes to work hard, Scarecrow is not a workaholic who only knows how to work. She works hard just because she doesn't want to mess things up because of herself.

Drawing the design did not take Renault too much time. Soon, the two scarecrows saw the spaceship transformation plan that Renault put in front of them.

Instead of building a new spaceship, they chose to transform the original spaceship as part of the new spaceship.

But having said that, the two scarecrows saw the huge size of the new spaceship.

If the original spaceship is a fortress, then the new spaceship can undoubtedly be called a whole town...

"Five hundred meters... Commander, is this a bit exaggerated? This is a bit too..."

Too big! How much material will it take!? The original spaceship has already used thousands of tons, nearly tens of thousands of tons of various materials. But even so, the length of the hull is only a few dozen meters, less than a hundred meters.

Not to mention, the new spaceship drawn by Renault is not only longer but also wider, and higher...

The amount of materials required has increased exponentially!

This is such a huge project, even with the power of an entire country, is a bit beyond its ability, right?

"It's okay, this should be the largest size of spaceship that can be built in the atmosphere. If it's bigger, it will be difficult to build."

Chapter 114: Prelude

"Are AK12 and the others not with us?" RO635 asked curiously as she watched the transport plane carrying the entire rebellious team fly in another direction.

"Well, we should move from another direction. After all, the more people, the better for this mission."

They could also be their backup in case they fail the mission. Of course, M16 didn't say this, lest M4 and RO waver when they are carrying out the mission.

"Huh, it would be nice if AR15 and SOP2 were here." Hearing M16's words, RO inexplicably missed the action of AR15 and the others taking them to the Sangvis Ferri Base not long ago.

If this action could be the same as the last time, just wandering around the Sangvis Ferri base like sightseeing, it would be too easy.

Unfortunately, they can't. AR15 and SOP2 are not here now. For this mission, they can only rely on the anti-jammer equipment that Persica asked them to bring and their own combat experience.

M16 understood RO635's words very well. After all, the skills of AR15 and SOP2 have completely exceeded her expectations. They can already wander around the Sangvis Ferri base casually, so why would they care about what kind of trouble Sangvis Ferri can make?

If Griffin and Renault were swapped, Renault might have already controlled Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing.

"Well, anyway, this is the current situation. Let's hurry to the nearest safe house. Before the operation officially starts, we still have some preparations to do."

Although they have arrived at the designated location, the operation has not yet started. Griffin's other dolls also need time to mobilize. In short, after they rush to the safe house and set up the anti-jammer equipment, there will be at least two days of standby time.

On the other side, RPK16, who had not yet gotten off the transport plane, was standing at the door of the cabin, looking at the distant sky vigilantly.

"I say, even if you are worried about an attack, there is no need to stand by the door and wait, right?" AK12 sighed helplessly.

"Yeah, I understand, I understand. This time we have chosen the most secret route, and it is still 50 kilometers away from the control area of Sangvis Ferri. At this distance, it is 100% impossible to be attacked by the Jupiter cannon." RPK16 nodded nonchalantly.

But even so, everyone understands the truth. They were told that there is 100% impossiblity of an attack, but didn't they said the same thing during the last mission?

"The Jupiter Cannon was not originally used for air defense. The last time it was attacked was completely a whim of Architect. It would be even easier if it was someone else. Others don't have the luck of that guy to hit the transport planes flying in the sky every time."

Although Architect did shoot down several Griffin transport planes at that time, it could only be said to be luck. Compared with her empty shells, the few hits seemed insignificant.

"Yes, yes, anyway, I definitely don't want to roll over again. I don't want to be put into a Dinergate..." RPK16, who was talking nonsense subconsciously, stopped talking quickly and tilted her head towards AK12 and AN94 with a silly expression.

"What Dinergate?" AK15 suddenly asked at this time. Although she had not spoken before, she had been listening carefully to the conversation between AK12 and RPK16.

"Um, ahem, anyway, it's not important..."

"I want to hear it." AK15 faced RPK16 with her face, which was unusual. Obviously, she hoped to get a definite answer from RPK16.

After all, although RPK16 was transferred to Task Force DEFY at the same time as her, RPK16's mental state was a little different from the others, especially recently, some meaningless words began to become more and more frequent in her mouth.

Looking at AK15's face, which was no different from the past, RPK16 could feel that the other party was not just talking nonsense this time.

"Okay, but there's nothing much to say. It's just that my predecessor was stuffed into a Dinergate by Renault. It's that simple."

After hearing this, AK15 didn't say anything, but AK12 frowned. "Predecessor? What does this mean?"

"Literally, the current me, the doll codenamed RPK16 in front of you, is the second one." RPK16 said, while raising two fingers in front of the three people.

"You gave your old neural core, a Statesec doll to Renault?" After a moment of silence, AK12 asked hesitantly.

"Well, what can I do about it? After all, my predecessor's neural core was disassembled and thrown into the trash can. I spent two hours searching in the trash to find her."

Hearing RPK16 say this in a calm tone, AK12 and the others couldn't help but fall silent. For a while, the only sound in the cabin was the noise of the transport plane's engine running.

"Whether you believe it or not, it's the truth anyway. Don't think too much about it. It has nothing to do with this mission. I don't want you guys to lose focus at the critical moment and cause another crash." RPK16 shrugged, breaking the silence in the cabin.

AK12 looked up at RPK16's face, as if trying to distinguish her from the RPK16 she first saw, but this was obviously impossible. RPK16's body had not been replaced, only the neural core had been replaced.

"I hope so." AK12 opened her eyes, took a good look at RPK16, and wanted to ask more questions, but now was obviously not the time to say these things.

The transport plane had arrived at the designated location, and they still had a long way to go.

...

"The AR team has entered the jammer area first, and the rebellious team also lost contact five minutes ago." Kalina reported to Gentiane through the communication.

"Well, I see. What about the personnel transfer? How long will it take for all the echelons to be in place?"

"Well, the situation is not optimistic. The efficiency of the transport planes is obviously not as high as expected. The continuous running has almost made these antiques unable to hold on. If we continue at this speed, I am afraid that our dolls will not be fully transported before these transport planes will be completely grounded."

"Uh... Where is all the support we agreed to..." Hearing this, Gentiane immediately covered her forehead with a headache. All the support was agreed upon, but the transport planes that could be used were all these old-fashioned ones.

That is, there are not many air defense facilities on the Sangvis Ferri side, otherwise, none of those transport planes would survive the Sangvis Ferri attack.

"Don't worry, Commander Gentiane, we still have armored vehicles. The doll echelons riding armored vehicles are now in place and are consolidating the local defense facilities. The plan can still proceed smoothly."

"Tsk, you could have said this at the beginning!"

Chapter 115: Within Easy Reach

"We agreed to go to the cattery, but the only one willing to stay there is Big Orange. He looks a little lonely," M14 said as she found a stool and sat down, snatching a bag of potato chips from SpectreM4.

"Well, after all, only in the cattery can you sleep as much as you like, and this fat guy is not as obedient as BM59's little princess."

"I remember when UMP40 and the others brought Big Orange back, this guy was quite slim," M14 vaguely recalled. When UMP40 and the others had just brought these cats back from the pet store, each of the little guys was very cute.

"Yeah, it was only a short period. Not long after, this guy turned into a fat orange. Jaeger fed him too much."

"Uh, speaking of Jaeger, didn't she take Nyto away? Don't you want to follow her and take a look?" M14 clearly remembered that SpectreM4 had said she came here to watch Nyto.

"You said Jaeger took her away. Why should I follow her? Do I look like someone who would bore myself?" SpectreM4 pouted.

She came here to watch Nyto out of interest. Since Nyto didn't run to a place where she was alone, there was no need for her to chase her and keep an eye on her.

"Well, I thought you received some mission from the commander."

"How is that possible? The commander usually doesn't issue any missions. Even if there is one, it's G36 and G3 who call people over to help peel potatoes or knead dough. I don't know when I can go to the battlefield again. It turns out that the battlefield is more suitable for me."

"I think it's pretty good now, and there aren't so many battlefields," M14 said, clapping her hands and standing up while holding the bag of potato chips. "Since you are watching here, if you see UMP40's two tabby cats later, call me. I'll go look for them elsewhere."

"Oh, I see."

SpectreM4 responded, got up, and walked to Big Orange to pet him. Only Big Orange would lie down obediently and let people pet him.

Alas, the world is going downhill, even with cats...

"M14! Found them!" Just as she was thinking, a loud shout suddenly exploded from the door of the cattery, scaring both SpectreM4 and Big Orange.

"Um, if you're looking for M14, she just..."

"Eh? Not here? Super-Shorty! Let's go find M14 somewhere else!"

"Wait! Wait! Slow down! Isn't it enough to just shout in the communication channel!?"

Before SpectreM4 could finish her words, M500 and Super-Shorty turned around and left the cattery, as if they hadn't seen her at all.

With a twitch at the corner of her eye, SpectreM4 sighed helplessly. She felt this wasn't a solution. Although she had changed her body and energy core, the problem of her indescribable lack of presence still wasn't solved.

It was time to ask her commander for help!

...

At the same time, UMP40 also determined where the two troublemakers from her family had gone through the doll communication network.

The maintenance channel of the spacecraft!

There was no surveillance installed there, but it was not open usually. She really didn't know how these two guys got there!

"Really! You two naughty ghosts! Why did you run to this place! It's very dangerous here!"

The maintenance channel is different from the corridor of the spacecraft. Many safety features are not installed in the channel. After all, this is only a place for emergency maintenance.

To save space and costs, only the minimum life support facilities are equipped here. Once the hatch of the maintenance channel is opened, it will increase the operating load of the life support facilities inside the spacecraft.

UMP40 was about to catch the two naughty cats but was stopped by UMP45.

"Wait, 40, look at the belly of the little tabby cat," she said, pointing to the unusual belly of one of the tabby cats with a smile.

"Huh? Ah! Isn't is this!?"

...

Because of this little surprise, six equally naughty little troublemakers appeared silently on the spacecraft.

In response, the Rippers responsible for cleaning the spacecraft protested strongly.

Those little guys were like devils, leaving traces of their visits in the corridors and various corners, which gave them a headache.

However, this state did not last long. In just one or two days, those little troublemakers figured out what to do correctly. After being driven out of the workshop by Renault once, they were really scared.

Of course, in addition to Renault's workshop, there is another forbidden area for them: the direction of the breeding farm.

To be precise, it is the newly opened livestock processing room next to the breeding farm.

There can be a strong smell of blood all day long, and from time to time, you can see MG3 or the alchemist covered in blood entering and leaving those rooms.

For their young minds, there is probably no place more terrifying than these two places.

The small matter of having a few more cats did not affect Renault's work progress. After drawing the plans, he had been calculating the cost of the spacecraft transformation with the two Scarecrows.

The result of the calculation was very clear. They definitely could not afford those materials with their savings. Even if they had just made a lot of money to buy vegetables, it was just a drop in the bucket for the spacecraft transformation plan customized by Renault.

The huge spacecraft of 500 meters required too many materials. Not to mention those rare metal materials, the amount of basic steel alone was far beyond the imagination of the two scarecrows.

"So much... I'm afraid it's not enough even if we count the losses of the entire Sangvis Ferri over the past ten years."

Military enterprises such as Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing are, of course, large consumers of metal materials, but even Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing isn't capable of churning out resources in the list compiled by Renault.

"Commander, the chances of this plan being realized are really too small. If we use formal channels, we may not be able to do this for decades."

"Then don't use the formal channels," Renault nodded. He knew about this kind of thing, but he didn't plan to complete it all at his own expense from the beginning.

There are still many polluted areas in the world. The ownerless things in those areas are completely easy resources for him. For others, it may be a resource that they may not be able to obtain even if they spend a lot of money. For him, it is actually no different from picking it up.

Chapter 116: Where Are the People?

"But Commander, if it's just the red zone, Svarog Heavy Industries has already started to develop it. Several conspicuous heavy industrial areas have all been taken over by them. The materials in the less prominent places seem to be a bit insufficient," said Scarecrow.

Scarecrow naturally knew what the informal channels mentioned by Renault were.

Wasn't their spaceship built this way?

However, in the entire spaceship, the usable materials collected and recycled from the city actually only accounted for a small part, and most of the materials were brought back from those factories. The material processing equipment is also a bit tight. Although some of the equipment on the spaceship is not the old equipment from before the Third World War, those pieces have been in the contaminated area for a long time. Even with Renault's maintenance, they are now seriously aged.

It's not that they can't be used, but the work efficiency is greatly reduced. Additionally, with the huge amount of materials needed for the new plan, she was worried that the equipment might suddenly explode when it was fully operational.

"Uh... how did you know?" Hearing what Scarecrow No. 2 said, Renault scratched his head. He really didn't pay attention to what these big companies were doing, but he didn't expect that Svarog Heavy Industries had the same idea as him.

"Of course it's recent news. Svarog Heavy Industries held a press conference a month ago, and now they may have already sent people to those places," Scarecrow No. 1 said, shaking her head helplessly.

Renault could only pull the corner of his mouth. Although he used to read newspapers, that was a long time ago. After all, there was no place to buy newspapers when the spacecraft was flying in the sky. Besides, there wasn't much serious news in those newspapers. After all, that newspaper industry seemed to be in a half-dead state.

"Okay, there are very few targets to choose from. If you two have nothing else to do, take the time to sort out a list of targets. I'll go lie down for a while," Renault said, suddenly feeling a bit tired. He stretched and planned to take a nap in the captain's room, which he had hardly been to.

Watching Renault yawn and leave the workshop, the two Scarecrows looked at each other with some surprise in their eyes.

After all, Renault's good health was known to all the dolls on the ship, and Renault often worked for several days without sleep. They had never seen Renault tired before. Unexpectedly, this time they actually saw Renault take the initiative to leave the workshop and plan to take a nap.

"This is really strange..."

"Okay, it seems that there is something to do next, but regarding intelligence, I think Huntee should have some news. After all, she likes to collect some useless intelligence the most."

"That's right, go find her... let's ask the two of them," Scarecrow No. 1 said, suddenly remembering that there were now two Hunters.

However, although the number of people had increased, the two Hunters were essentially the same except for slightly different memories, so the intelligence collected was likely to be repeated.

"Oh?"

As two Scarecrows were thinking, just as they walked out of the workshop, several soft little things bumped into them.

Reaching out to pick up these little cubs who didn't look where they were going, Scarecrow No. 1 sighed helplessly, "How come these little guys grow so fast? I remember when the commander drove them out of the workshop a few days ago, they were only the size of two fists."

Now their size had doubled, and only two days had passed. Their growth rate was a bit too fast!

If it continues at this rate, these little guys will be able to grow to adulthood in less than a week and then continue to give birth. By then, the dolls on the spacecraft will not be just overcrowded; they will be completely occupied by these naughty little guys.

"Well, it's probably the same reason as the animals on the farm, but there's no need to worry about the farm... these little guys however..." Scarecrow No. 2 also thought the same as No. 1.

There's no need to worry about the farm because the extra animals have all been canned or turned into other meat products.

But these cats are a bit tricky...

We can't treat them as reserve food, right? I'm afraid no one would want to eat them.

"Let's talk to the commander after he wakes up. If we let these little guys continue to reproduce, it won't be a good thing for us."

At least, it's definitely not a good thing for the ordinary Sangvis Ferri dolls who are responsible for cleaning the spacecraft.

After letting go of a few little guys who were meowing and trying to challenge the dolls with their tender claws, the two Scarecrows went straight to the two Hunters who were watching TV with several dolls in the lounge.

After explaining their purpose, not only the two Hunters but also other dolls came over curiously and began to give them advice. In this regard, the two Scarecrows did not refuse.

After all, there is strength in numbers, and Renault did not set a time limit for completion, so the length of time was not within their consideration.

Because the target location that the Scarecrows were sorting out seemed to be related to Renault's next action plan, after the news spread, most of the dolls at home came over and tried to get some "gossip" from the scarecrows.

"These are only related to the commander's plan to expand the spacecraft in the future. There is no gossip," Scarecrow No. 1 said, spreading her hands. Renault's plan has never concealed anything, so she naturally did not hesitate to tell the truth.

"Eh? Spacecraft expansion? When did it happen? Why don't I know about it?" MDR tilted her head. She seemed to have never heard Renault mention this.

"Just now, in the workshop," Scarecrow No. 2 added, spreading her hands like No. 1.

Seeing the two's actions with a synchronization rate close to 100%, MDR scratched her head in confusion and immediately thought of the other "her" in Griffin.

However, MDR was only thinking about it. She had no interest in the expansion plan of the spacecraft because the plan was not fun at all. Of course, if RFB was caught by Renault for slacking off again, she would still be willing to go over and make a documentary for RFB.

After leaving the meeting in the lounge, MDR suddenly remembered that she had not had fun with Griffin's MDR for a long time. Although it was only one or two days, it felt like a long time to her.

MDR was just holding her mobile phone and trying to post on the anonymous board to attract some attention. At this time, she found that there were no new posts on the anonymous board. It seemed like that the anonymous board had shut down.

"Huh? What's going on? Where are the people?"

Chapter 117: The Action Begins

"Hmm... This tastes terrible..."

"Okay, FNC, you might have been spoiled by the food you used to get. You were still eating this half a month ago," FN49 sighed, peeking out from the bunker with some fear to look into the distance.

No trace of the Sangvis troops was found; it seems they are still safe here.

"Hmm, we could eat desserts and chocolates at the base before, but now we have to eat these MREs that are about to expire. The chocolates in them have all been replaced with cheap ones made of cocoa butter substitutes!" FNC shouted in dissatisfaction, causing FN49, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, to nervously control the puppet figure to poke its head out and look at the Sangvis control area.

"Shh! Keep your voice down! What if the Sangvis hears us?"

"How is that possible? We are behind the defense line, and there are other troops in front of us. Even if the Sangvis really appears, the fight will definitely start in the front!" FNC complained while tearing open the MRE packaging and stuffing the contents into her mouth.

Although FN49 knew that FNC was right, she still couldn't help but feel a little scared, even after following Gentiane through many large-scale battles. After all, what they were facing this time was likely to be the organized armored units of the Sangvis.

Although the imprint weapon in her hand had been modified and the bullets replaced with high-performance armor-piercing rounds, she still didn't think that this weapon alone could deal with those heavily armored and powerful Sangvis units.

"That being said, what if..."

"Hey, don't overthink it. The commander hasn't issued an order yet, so there must be no unexpected situation, and the anti-jammer equipment is still working well." FNC chewed the unappetizing food and turned her head to look at the equipment set up in the bunker pit behind them.

Although they were in the rear, they were not without tasks. Their main job was to protect the anti-jammer equipment so it could operate normally. This equipment was the cornerstone for the next series of actions to proceed smoothly.

Like them, the three members of the AR team, who also carried a similar device, had already set up the anti-jammer equipment in the safe house.

"The scheduled time is coming soon," RO635 noted. As soon as the time came, they would immediately start the anti-jammer device, and their blocked communication would be restored.

Whether the anti-jammer equipment would be discovered by the Sangvis, they didn't know yet because Persica hadn't had time to test the equipment's performance.

So before setting off, Gentiane had already made preparations. Once this device was discovered, the mobile phone from Renault in their hands would be their means of communication.

As for the anti-jammer device? Of course, it would stay wherever it was. Gentiane would not bet on a device that had not been tested in actual combat.

This time, it was also a test of this equipment. If the device developed by Persica, based on the technology used by Renault's mobile phones, was useful, then the Sangvis jammer would not be a threat to them at all.

The AR team only had three mobile phones, and Gentiane only had one. Although the few dolls who were with her initially also had mobile phones, Gentiane did not intend to requisition the private property of these poor dolls. She could not rely on the equipment given by Renault to fight all the time; otherwise, once these mobile phones were lost, she would likely be at a disadvantage.

Renault obviously had no intention of selling this kind of equipment. It could be seen from his behavior that he built a spaceship for himself but did not sell the technology to anyone. He obviously did not intend to let the technology at his disposal be casually disseminated.

Therefore, there was no need to think about buying various advanced equipment from Renault. Otherwise, why would she need to dawdle here? Griffin boss would have asked Renault to buy those things long ago.

But more of the reason should be that Renault's things are all contraband. The only security contractor who dares to fly around in the sky with a spaceship and is not worried about being troubled by other forces is Renault.

"Everything is ready. When the time comes, just leave a few dummies here for protection. If this thing doesn't work, leaving more dummies is useless." M16 opened the door of the safe house, looked out, and nodded to M4 and RO.

M4 heard the words and watched the pointer on the watch jump to the last tick. "Start the device! Let's go!"

"Understood."

After M4 finished speaking, RO635 directly started the seemingly inconspicuous anti-jammer device, and then followed behind M16. The three of them, together with several dummies behind them, rushed out of the safe house.

It must be said that Persica is quite capable. Just after the anti-jammer device was started, M4 clearly felt that the jammer from Sangvis Iron seemed to be countered by something of unknown principle. There was no noise in their internal communication channel now.

"Ahem! Test! Test! This is Persica, can you hear my voice?"

"Yes, I can hear it clearly, Persica," M4 responded, a little surprised to hear his voice, but then nodded and confirmed.

Of course, she didn't say it out loud, but just responded in the communication channel. They were now in the middle of an infiltration operation, and speaking aloud could allow Sangvis Iron to record their voiceprint information.

"Wuhu! Look, my anti-jammer equipment is indeed working correctly. Renault's technology is not that difficult to understand."

"So, Persica, do you want to show off your intelligence to us at this important time when the mission has just begun?" M16 said helplessly. Persica was still so out of tune.

"Of course not, just sharing some small feelings. Now Gentiane has begun to launch a feint attack on the Sangvis. You'd better rush to the vicinity of Sangvis's Factory 0 as soon as possible and take advantage of the chaos over there to blend into the factory."

"Persica, I don't think Sangvis will relax its guard on Factory 0 because of the feint attack from Commander Gentiane," M4 said hesitantly about Persica's plan.

Not to mention whether the dolls under Commander Gentiane can shake the Sangvis's armored troops, the battlefield opened up by Gentiane alone is at least 50 kilometers away from here. At such a long distance, those Sangvis can't go out in full force and even ignore their base.

"Yeah, of course. That's why I also prepared some special surprises for Sangvis."

Chapter 118: Mistakes

"Then the security contractor named Renault will be handed over to your third team."

In the somewhat smoky room, a rigid-sounding voice said this.

"Hmm, Ahh!" Nicholas, who was daydreaming with his feet on the chair grille, suddenly came to his senses after hearing the word "Renault." He tilted his body and narrowly avoided falling to the ground.

"Wait! Sir, what did you just say!? Is Renault, the security contractor, also included?" Alina, Nicholas' partner, threw away the cigarette butt in her hand, stood up with wide eyes, and looked at the holographic image displayed on the table.

"Yes, do you have any objections?"

"Objections? Of course! Excuse me! That guy named Renault is definitely not someone our team can handle!"

Did this idiot who sits in the office all day read the report carefully?

That security contractor named Renault is definitely not a target our team can deal with! If you want to revoke the legal procedures of those PMCs, you should at least pick a softer target!

You ask us to deal with Renault right away! Are you really going to let us die!?

Looking at the aggressive Alina, Stuart, who had just taken office not long ago, frowned with some displeasure, "According to the intelligence you submitted, Renault Security Contracting Firm is just a small-scale security contractor with only about 20 people. Except for Renault, all the people are tactical dolls."

If most of the people in this security contractor team were humans, he might have to look at them more closely. After all, humans are different from dolls; they will not obey orders. If they are directly attacked, it could cause fierce resistance from the other side.

But this Renault Security Contracting Firm is different. Most of them are dolls.

Even if there are only two supervisors, Nicholas and Alina, in Group 3, they can easily deal with a guy who relies on tactical dolls to do business. It is impossible for a doll to violate the orders in the underlying protocol. To some extent, dolls are even more law-abiding than humans.

"About 20 people?" Hearing Stuart's words, Alina held her forehead with a headache and turned to look at Nicholas, "How long have you not updated the intelligence on Renault?"

"Well, a week? No, no, I remember I received some news about Renault from Griffin a few days ago." Nicholas sat up straight and scratched his head in some surprise. After all, he personally handled the procedures for Renault's security contracting company, so he has been following up on the situation.

Although Stuart is new, that is only relatively speaking. He has been in this position for several months anyway, and it is impossible for him not to know about...

Thinking of this, Nicholas was stunned. He seemed to remember that he had deliberately encrypted the document when he filed Renault's intelligence.

After all, Renault's strength is expanding too fast. In order to avoid some young people in the bureau causing trouble for him, he...

Stuart and Alina saw the expression on Nicholas's face. Stuart, who knew there was definitely something wrong, turned and said, "The tasks of other groups remain unchanged. Group 3, you two stay for a while."

After cutting off communication with the other groups, Stuart frowned and switched the communication to the encrypted channel, "Okay, now tell me, what's the matter with that encrypted document? What is the password?"

While speaking, Stuart directly called out the encrypted document whose password he had never guessed correctly and asked Nicholas.

"The password for the first layer is 'air-dried,' and the second layer is 'sausage.'"

Nicholas said it without hesitation. After all, the other party was his immediate superior and had the authority to access this document.

But Alina, standing next to him, twitched her face after hearing the two passwords set by Nicholas.

The guy who was killed by Renault was actually Stuart's predecessor. It was just because the cause of his death was too bizarre that the bureau sealed it up as a scandal. The only ones who had the right to know were Stuart's superiors and the operatives who were on the mission at that time.

But those operatives would definitely not tell this matter to others because even if they did, no one would believe it. Instead, they would be made a laughingstock. After all, their boss was stabbed to death with sausages in front of them. They would have to be crazy to believe that this was the truth.

Although Stuart was surprised that the password set by Nicholas was a bit strange, he did not doubt it. After all, the stranger the password, the harder it is to be deciphered.

But when he opened the encrypted document, the first thing that popped up was not anything else, but the autopsy report of his predecessor at that time... and the accompanying picture...

With a twitch in the corner of his eye, Stuart glanced at Nicholas.

No wonder this guy used this password... But Stuart was not interested in how his predecessor died.

The information about Renault Security Contracting Firm made his face black as the bottom of a pot.

Just the power armors dressed as exoskeletons equipped with machine guns were enough to make him sweat. At the least, it was poor supervision. At the most, it was dereliction of duty.

Looking at the pictures and texts about power armor in the document, although Stuart wanted to hold Nicholas accountable, as he continued to flip through the document, the things at the back made him feel frightened. Not only the power armor, this security contractor also had helicopters and tanks. Although they were not seen using these things later, Nicholas's report revealed that they had an aerial gunship...

That's not all. Not long ago, these guys were actually driving a spaceship...

"Is the spaceship that the military wanted to investigate theirs?!"

"Yes, that spaceship has appeared several times, and once it even helped Griffin transport the Jupiter cannon made by Sangvis. And with the huge size of that spaceship, I think it must have weapons and equipment of the same level as the Jupiter cannon."

"Hiss, what's going on? How did he get the flight permit for such a big ship?"

How could such a conspicuous thing land at the airport in the city without a flight permit? When the spaceship suddenly appeared before, it caused a lot of noise.

"Their permission was provided by Universal Anything."

"Tsk! Those damn guys!"

Chapter 119 I am Bored

"Why didn't you notify me directly about this kind of an important matter?!" Stuart slapped the table angrily.

It meant that the military had not responded against this guy yet. Otherwise, if the other party caught him, not only he but even the Bureau might suffer a loss.

"I wanted to do that too! But I have been stuck in this remote place and have never been back!

He wanted to go back and report directly to Stuart, but he had to go back too? What does it mean to send him back every time he mentioned returning to the headquarters?

"You still have the nerve to say that! You report to the headquarters every now and then, either asking for leave or applying to be transferred back to the headquarters! Who knows what you are thinking!"

Hearing this, Nicholas immediately pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. "Anyway, this matter is no longer something we can handle. I will report it immediately. Has Renault behaved in any unusual way recently?"

"Well, it shouldn't be. After all, their most recent action was just to sell some vegetables to Griffin..."

"Sell... sell vegetables...? Are you kidding!?

A dangerous person like that would go to sell vegetables!?"

Stuart roared hysterically, but as soon as he said it, he remembered the other party's use of sausages to kill people...

Indeed, this security contracting company is indeed likely to do such a thing...

...

After hanging up the phone, Carter sighed, but when he thought of what Berezovich had just said, his eyes narrowed, "I hope there won't be any problems this time."

"That depends on your ability. Time is running out. Seize this last chance."

The voice from the communication was disconnected, and Carter frowned, "The last chance, hah!"

Dongdong.

Just as Carter sat in the room with a stern face and in silence, someone knocked on the door. It was obvious that only Yegor would knock in this way.

"Come in."

"Sir, they have been notified. They will make sure to stay put during Operation Griffin." Yegor stood up and reported to Carter. "Well, that's good."

"Sir, I don't quite understand. Since we need that file, why don't we..."

"Yegor, you have to understand that the file can only play its true value if it falls into the right hands. At least, we don't have any close cooperation with Griffin on the surface."

Carter paused and spoke again with a heavy tone, "Although I don't want to admit it, the focus now is not on Griffin at all. Did you see the spaceship that appeared in the city before?"

"I saw it. That ship should be that..."

"Well, Renault, not long ago he was still taking ordinary security work for a little reward. I didn't expect that after a long time, that guy has become a troublemaker."

Renault was more or less involved in the previous actions between Griffin and Iron Blood, and it was because of Renault's appearance that Persica was able to wake up M4 without File No. 7. Even they couldn't tell what the situation of the doll was now. If... no,

there was no if now. No matter what the result was, as that guy said, now was indeed their last chance.

Thinking of getting the key to the Ruins technology, this might be their only chance...

"Sorry, sir, our equipment is currently unable to lock the specific location of the spaceship, and according to the intelligence we got before, the sturdiness of the spaceship is so strong that we are afraid that we can't do anything with the equipment we have."

Hearing Yegor's words, Carter sighed. This was exactly what he was worried about. If Renault suddenly intervened during Griffin's action, they would probably be in vain.

But now they couldn't care so much. The arrow had to be shot, and there was no time to hesitate whether those "unexpected" situations would happen.

...

"Another action? Or most of Griffin's dolls?" From the few words of the previous posts on the anonymous board, MDR also figured out what was going on with Griffin.

Scratching her head, MDR gave up fishing and started to wander around the spaceship with her phone.

As for her apprentice Vera, of course, that's what MDR called her, she was helping G36 at the moment.

Normally there was no news to be covered in the spaceship, although sometimes some black history could be photographed, but after all, these things were fresh if they happened once or twice, but if they happened every day, it wouldn't be considered news.

At the bar in the restaurant, WA2000 sat on a high stool, stirring the coffee in her cup boredly.

"Commander Renault is too idle here, there's nothing to do at all." WA2000 complained to Springfield in a low voice, she had thought about going to the kitchen to help G36 and the others.

But G3 and Buzzsaw, who had already mentioned her, refused without hesitation, and told G36 her name as the kitchen killer.

The result is that now, let alone helping, she will be pushed out if she walks to the kitchen door, which is even more exaggerated than the treatment of M1 Garand.

In addition, G36 has two dolls of the same model to help in the kitchen, plus the other dolls, the kitchen is not short of manpower now.

Other departments are in a similar state, especially after the Sangvis dolls have taken on most of the simple and repetitive tasks, the dolls have nothing to do every day. They either sit in the restaurant waiting for food, or watch TV series in the dormitory, or go to the training room to play for a while on a whim.

"Just treat it as a holiday. By the way, I heard that Scarecrow and several others are discussing where to go for the next mission. Don't you want to go and see?"

This matter has been broadcasted in the doll communication channel. Except for RFB and Ouroboros, two guys who are addicted to games, most of the other dolls have already known about it.

"Well, I don't want to go. Compared to deciding the location, I want to do something serious. I'm always idle every day, and I always feel a little sorry for the pocket money Renault gave me."

There is also a new body. This body alone is not something she can pay back with a few missions.

"Then, how about learning from Scarecrow and then helping the commander's workshop?"

"No, no, no, forget it. I'm afraid that I will break something again, and I really can't afford it."

"Then I have no choice. By the way, how about you go to G11 and ask her to take you to the training room to play for a while? I heard from G11 that the training subjects that the commander has modified are also very interesting, and you can also learn to drive a spaceship."

"Not impossible." Hearing this, WA2000 nodded, thinking that she occasionally went back to the bridge to deliver meals to wz.29.

Now there is only one full-time driver on the ship, which is indeed a bit too few, but driving a spaceship... can she do it?

Chapter 120 Too Ugly

WA2000, who fantasized about becoming a spaceship pilot in the future, taking shifts with wz.29 every now and then, and no longer having to sleep in the open air on the battlefield, had just prepared herself mentally when she received a piece of news from wz.29 that was not good news.

"Well, WA2000, actually, Commander Renault mentioned that the doll who came to the ship with RPK16 before was a pilot, so..."

"Ah, this..." Her expectations were shattered. Although this idea had only come up for half an hour, she never expected it to be suppressed so quickly.

Looking at the disappointed expression on WA2000's face, wz.29 couldn't help but feel a little sorry. She was just telling the truth, and she didn't expect it to cause such a big blow to WA2000.

"Well, actually... if you have learned the driving skills, it's no problem to come and help occasionally, and if there is one more person to take over the shift, it will be easier for us." Wz.29 said so, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.

Although Renault said that the doll that has not yet come out of the mental space will take over some of the driving work later, it will probably take until RPK16's body is fully grown before the doll has a body.

Although Wz.29 did not participate in the research and development of the new body, she had a good relationship with Scarecrow, so she chatted with the scarecrow when he was free and got a little understanding of the new body.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the expression on WA2000's face was like a roller coaster. Wz.29 was stunned.

WA2000 looked like a mature doll, but how could her mental state be similar to those little guys...

"Well, of course, but for driving training, you have to go to the training room to choose a special training program to learn. G11 is there most of the time. If you don't understand something, you can ask her."

"Okay! I'll go now!" WA2000 ran out of the bridge excitedly.

It was really good for her to find something to do instead of being idle in the cabin every day!

Looking at the doll running out in a hurry, wz.29 sighed and raised her hand to pick up the book next to her.

When the spaceship was in cruising state, she didn't need to do anything. Everything was automatic. She only needed to respond in time when the control system of the spaceship gave an alarm.

However, just as her fingers touched the page, wz.29 suddenly remembered that G11 seemed to have participated in a plan with Nagant Revolver and some other dolls on the ship... um, Goliath or Thor development plan, so G11 is probably not in the training room...

"Well, I hope that G11's plan has ended, otherwise if G11 is not found, it will be a problem to randomly select simulated missions in the training device..." Wz.29 covered her forehead with an ugly face, trying to forget the strange scenes she saw in the training device.

It was just as wz.29 did not want to see, WA2000 quickly ran to the training room, but at this time, there was no one in the training room, and it was dark in the training room.

Obviously, no one had been here for a while.

"No? Where are the people?" WA2000 scratched her head, turned on the lighting in the training room, and looked at the training devices.

Compared with the training equipment in Griffin Base, the training equipment on Renault's side looked a little worn out. The leather of one of the seats was even cracked.

Obviously, Renault's dolls often used these training equipment.

But it shouldn't be recently, maybe a while ago?

With some doubts, WA2000 directly activated a training device. She had used this thing when she was in Griffin Base, so she was not completely in the dark.

As for wz.29's reminder to ask G11 for help, she threw it out of her mind. It's just a training device. Can it cost lives?

With this idea in mind, WA2000 directly started to search for the category of spaceship driving in the training project, and randomly activated one of the training scenes that looked like basic teaching.

'Viking fighter real-life mentoring.'

...

"Uh, that's about it. All the parts this time are made according to the standard process. There is absolutely no mistake!"

G11 put down the wrench, wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, and said loudly to Nagant Revolver and others who were watching the show next to her.

"Ah, but G11, this is Goliath, isn't it a little different from what we thought at the beginning?"

 The disappointment in the eyes of Nagant Revolver and others was about to burst out.

After all, the robot named Goliath in front of them was very different from the robot with hands and feet they imagined at the beginning!

It's okay to have no hands, but the main body of this robot is a huge cockpit, without even a head!

The lower part is still the kind of anti-jointed foot gear that is completely different from humans!

It looks nothing like a doll robot, but a bit like a clumsy steel ostrich!

"And the power system has not been installed yet..." NZ75 pointed to the empty space on Goliath, where the powertrain is located. G11, who does not have an engine, can only empty this part at present.

Fortunately, Goliath also uses modular technology. After that, as long as Renault helps to assemble the engine, this Goliath robot can be successfully moved.

"The most important thing is that this Goliath has no weapons, and the weapons of Sangvis do not match this robot." C96 also sighed helplessly.

Originally, Goliath was equipped with weapons, but the design drawings plagiarized by G11 from the training device did not include the weapons... This is a bit embarrassing...

And if you want to install the Sangvis Ferri weapon system on this Goliath robot, it obviously requires a deeper level of transformation.

This is obviously not a project that G11, a half-baked man, can easily handle.

At this point, a group of little guys, including G11, sat down and sighed in frustration. They had thought they could make a handsome big guy, but now... this thing doesn't look as impressive as the SCV that Commander Renault had put together before!

"How about... we go to the commander for help?"

"Then... I'll go ask?" Nagant Revolver looked at G11 hesitantly.

"Go! You must go! The commander must have better blueprints!" Hearing this, G11 jumped off Goliath without caring about the oil on her face, opened the door, and went to find her commander.

"Hey! Wait! Let's go together!"

A group of dolls suddenly rushed out of the warehouse and headed straight for the workshop.

Chapter 121 Bait

Boom!

Artillery bombardment from Sangvis Ferri.

As expected, Sangvis also deployed several Jupiter cannons in the direction where Griffin's dolls launched a feint attack on Sangvis Ferri.

Although Griffin's attack was just a feint, Sangvis didn't know that!

Fortunately, before the action, Gentiane had the dolls build fairly solid fortifications, so the bombardment of the Jupiter cannons, in addition to causing the dolls to lose a lot of dummy dolls, did not cause any serious damage to Griffin's troop.

But this is obviously not okay...

They hadn't even started the operations yet but they were ruthlessly bombarded by Sangvis, and the expected situation that Sangvis Ferri will mobilize combat dolls in this direction did not occur at all.

It seemed that Sangvis Ferri's Mastermind was determined to use the Jupiter cannons to bomb all of Griffin's doll troops into slag this time.

"Papasha! This way! It's about to collapse! Help reinforce it!" The doll in the anti-gun hole spat out sand and waved to Papasha, who was driving a maintenance robot not far away.

"Here we go!"

Thanks to this engineering equipment, the protective fortifications on Griffin's side were dug very solidly. In addition, the armor-piercing ability of the Jupiter cannon was extremely poor. The dolls in Griffin now have the energy to think about what flavor of MRE to eat for lunch, although most of the time they don't have a choice.

In the combat command room not far from the front line, Gentiane, who was already wearing an exoskeleton and protective clothing, looked at the command system with an ugly face.

The anti-jamming device took effect, which was indeed good news, but she also did not expect that Sangvis would become so lacking in initiative now.

They have already pressed forward with their troops, but Sangvis Ferri has not responded at all. In addition to bombarding their defense line with the Jupiter cannon, there is no intention to deploy troops at all.

The unexpected and strange reaction of Sangvis Ferri almost ruined the battle plan that Gentiane had set before, but fortunately, Persica had prepared a special "bait" for this.

...

"Gift? What gift?"

"Well, just some dummies." Persica smiled and waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Dummies..." M16 frowned, and then suddenly realized, "You brought the AR team, that is, our dummies, to the frontline?"

"Well, that's right, in this way, Sangvis Ferri will definitely be very interested. When those guys leave, you can smoothly enter Factory 0 to help me get the document."

Dummies? Can dummies fight independently without our command?

Although M4 was a little confused, it was obviously not a good time to ask questions. If there were any questions, she would ask Persica in person after returning.

Not long after Persica's contact, the AR team, which had been waiting for the next order, received instructions from Gentiane that the Sangvis Ferri had already begun to move and they could start to move now.

Compared to human combat personnel, Sangvis Ferri units were obviously very fast in mobilization. As soon as the Mastermind's order was issued, all the Sangvis Ferri droids began to rush towards the battlefield with Griffin.

Let's not talk about the speed, but these Sangvis Ferri droids did not hesitate at all.

In fact, it was impossible to hesitate. After all, most of the Sangvis Ferri combat units obeyed the mastermind's orders unconditionally.

Only some elite dolls would make some concessions when executing orders.

"Why am I the one who stayed behind again? Dreamer, didn't the Mastermind order you to go to support together? Why are you still here?"

Looking at Dreamer who was still wandering around the base under her jurisdiction, Destroyer couldn't help but complain dissatisfiedly.

"Of course, it's because your little head can't handle so many complicated instructions, and I did go with the mainframe, I'm currently just a dummy here" Dreamer spread her hands.

In fact, the one who is now controlling the Jupiter Cannon to fire at Griffin is Dreamer's own dummy, and the one who was transferred by the mainframe is also her dummy.

Although it is a dummy, its combat capability is not bad. As long as she can always ensure the control of the dummy, there is actually no substantial difference between the dummy and herself.

Who let the Sangvis Ferri Elite doll, even the materials and technology used by the dummy, are exactly the same as the Elite doll.

This approach, although the dummy's ability to move independently is greater, can also ensure that after the mainframe of the Elite doll is destroyed, the ordinary Sangvis Ferri droids will not lose its command unit, causing chaos on the battlefield.

"This is unfair! Why do you have so many dummies? I don't even have one!" the Destroyer shouted unwillingly.

Since Dreamer was created, her status as Destroyer has plummeted, and now she is almost a marginal figure in the Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing.

Even the three guys with Scarecrow have appeared many more times than her!

"No? That's not necessarily true." Hearing the Destroyer's words, Dreamer said with a smile, and while speaking, she looked up and down at Destroyer in front of her.

Dreamer naturally knew about the current situation of the Destroyer. A few years ago, the Destroyer had actually been destroyed once, and her default data stored in the Sangvis Ferri Headquarters was still used.

The original Destroyer had long been kidnapped by Renault, and Destroyer in front of her was just another brand new Destroyer.

"What do you mean by not sure? Why? You are smiling so mysteriously. Anyway, if I stay at home, when will I get a mission? I will soon be rusty if I continue like this!"

Roaming around the Sangvis Ferri headquarters and protecting the Sangvis Ferri main factory, Destroyer always felt that she has done this before.

But now the main factory is calm, and most of the ordinary Sangvis Ferri droids who rushed to the battlefield for support have disappeared. In this case, the probability of her meeting any Griffin doll is infinitely close to zero.

How could she possibly meet Griffin's tactical dolls?

Those guys can't have a brain twitch, so they suddenly want to come to the Sangvis Ferri main factory to find something, right?

It can't be said that Destroyer's idea is right, it can only be said that it is too right!

Now there is indeed Griffin dolls who ran to the area near the main factory as if their brain was burnt out.

And it's not just one team, but two teams!

"I didn't expect that Sangvis Ferri didn't transfer all its combat forces away at once." AK12 opened her eyes and looked at the base near the Sangvis Ferri main factory from afar.

Chapter 122: Cautious Action

"Really, although I knew this mission would be very chaotic, I didn't expect it to go this far."

Four people, a team, directly attacked the main factory built by Sangvis Ferri.

What's the difference between this and suicide?

"It's not a mess. At least the main factory defense map I got last time can be used." AK12 closed her eyes and jumped down from a high place. "Although Sangvis has left a lot of combat units, in fact, all the tricky armored units have been transferred away, and only ordinary Sangvis Ferri are left."

As long as it wasn't an armored unit, it will be easy for them to solve it. Whether it is electronic warfare or using strong attacks to attract the attention of those Sangvis Ferris, they can achieve their goals.

"Okay, the captain has the final say." RPK16 shrugged her shoulders, looked around, and tried to find a communication node that she could access. It is not necessary to control a large number of Sangvis Ferri droids by electronic warfare means. It is enough to control some combat units such as Dinergates or Scouts and Prowlers to cause chaos in the factory.

If the AR team still cannot enter the factory to find the access point, then they can only say sorry.

…

"There is no way. It seems that we have to force our way in." M16 looked at the large number of Sangvis Ferri droids with a serious face and narrowed her eyes.

"M16, don't mess around. Didn't Persica say that there would be another team before..."

M4 tried to dissuade M16 and let her calm down a little and think of other ways. Both Commander Gentia and Persica have done diversion. All the armored units near the main factory have been attracted away.

Still, there must be a better way...

"It's too late now. Although the dummy dolls have attracted the armored units of Sangvis Ferri, but..."

But Sangvis Ferri also has transport planes.

Even if the armored units can't come back, the elite dolls of Sangvis Ferri will definitely be able to come back in time!

Their action time, from the moment Persica threw out the bait, was only half an hour at most. If they continued to hesitate, their plan would be officially declared a failure.

Although M16 hadn't finished speaking, M4 and RO knew it well. It was indeed okay to think of a solution slowly. Maybe they could really come up with a safer solution.

But they couldn't afford to delay now, and Gentiane couldn't afford to delay even more. With only the combat power of the dolls under Gentiane, they would definitely not be able to delay the armored units made by Sangvis Ferri.

When a large number of Sangvis Ferri armored units arrived at the battlefield, Gentiane would definitely retreat.

The armored units that were temporarily diverted near the main factory would definitely return to the main factory...

Their mission this time was to find File No. 7. It would take a certain amount of time to break into the main factory, and it would also take time to search for the server where File No. 7 was located, plus the time required for data transmission...

Time was tight!

Da da da da!

"What!?" M16, who was planning to find a weakly defended area and force her way in, was startled by the sudden gunshot.

Weapons made by Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing don't make this kind of sound. This sound is obviously a machine gun, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be the RPK16 from DEFY.

Sure enough, is it the team under Ange who came to support them this time?

Thinking of this, M16 looked up at the main factory of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing. As soon as she saw the factory, she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if she had been here before, and there was a sense of déjà vu everywhere.

But in her neural cloud, her knowledge of this factory was limited to the data that Persica showed them.

"A large part of Sangvis Ferri was attracted by the movement over there." M4 looked at the direction where the gunshots came from, turned back, and nodded to RO and M16. No matter what, since someone has created an opportunity for them, they must act now, otherwise the risk of Task Force DEFY to divert Sangvis will be meaningless.

After confirming, the three of them rushed out of the bunker where they were hiding.

As soon as they rushed out, they inevitably bumped into several Sangvis Ferri droids.

Without M16 and RO saying anything, M4 had already raised her gun and accurately shot down the Sangvis Ferri droids who turned around.

With the help of the silencer, M4's imprint weapon only made a few crisp and short sounds.

However, this little movement was directly covered by the unobstructed gunshots in the distance and the noise in the factory. Several Sangvis Ferri droids not far away did not notice the movement here at all.

Although DEFY made a lot of noise on the other side, there were still many Sangvis Ferri droids who stayed in their positions and did not move. Most of those who rushed over were those Sangvis Ferri droids responsible for patrolling nearby.

However, the remaining Sangvis Ferri droids did not pose any threat to M4. The only thing they needed to guard against now was the Sangvis Ferri elite dolls that might jump out at any time.

Seeing M4 calmly and quickly knock down those Sangvis Ferri droids, M16 couldn't help but curl her lips with satisfaction. M4 now seemed to be much more reliable than before. She didn't know what Persica had done to M4's neural cloud this time, but this change was at least good in her opinion.

RO635 didn't think so much, just holding the gun and looking at the corner not far away vigilantly.

Thanks to the timely action of the three people, RPK16 stopped attacking immediately after hearing AK12 say that the AR team had entered the factory, and rushed out with the weapon.

Although there were many Dinergates and scouts chasing behind them, these combat units alone could not stop AN94 and AK15, who had been prepared for a long time. A few precise bursts knocked down the Sangvis Ferri units that rushed to the front, and the electronic jammer of AK12 was also effective.

At once, the Sangvis Ferri dolls near their location began to get into chaos. Some crashed on the spot, and some picked up weapons and attacked randomly.

"Don't we need to contact the AR team?" After defeating the Sangvis Ferris that were chasing them, AN94 also moved with RPK16, but AN94 turned her head to look in the direction of the factory and asked AK12.

"No, and we can't contact them at all. Recently, Sangvis Ferri has upgraded their jammer facilities. The AR team has anti-jammer equipment support, but we don't. If we contact them rashly, it is very likely to expose their position."

AK12 ran while opening her eyes and looking back vigilantly.

In this operation, Griffin's T-doll troops were tens of kilometers away. In the vicinity of this factory, there were only three T-dolls from the AR team besides them. It can be said that they were fighting alone.

Once the AR team was exposed, they would definitely not be able to wait for any support.

She really doesn't know why Griffin and Persica sent the AR team out to perform such dangerous mission.

However, she heard that AR team had carried out a similar mission before, which was also to find the documents left by Lycoris, and they were also alone in the deep.

However, this time the AR team was missing a member.

Chapter 123: I'm Prepared!

"What's wrong? What's wrong!?" Hearing the alarm ringing in her ears, Destroyer shuddered and sat up from the hard camp bed, looking around in a daze, trying to find the source of the abnormality.

"Don't be stupid. Even if you shake your head at it, you can't see what's wrong. This is the factory alarm. Someone attacked the patrol team in the southeast, but those guys have run away." Dreamer looked at the silly look of Destroyer through the monitoring and didn't know whether to laugh or sigh.

"Oh." Hearing this, Destroyer scratched her head, walked to the control console next to her, and turned off the alarm that was still whistling.

"Uh, you just turned it off?" Seeing Destroyer's actions, Dreamer asked angrily and amusedly.

Shouldn't she go out immediately to find the movements of those invaders? What did you mean by turning off the alarm?

In fact, whether the alarm is turned off or not has no effect on Sangvis dolls. The key point is that the way Destroyer just turned off the alarm is to directly turn off the Sangvis Ferri doll's early warning system together with the alarm.

If it weren't for the fact that Destroyer would never have the idea of "betrayal" in her head, Dreamer would have suspected that Destroyer had surrendered to the enemy.

Can you use your brain? The alarm has been triggered. Although the guys who caused the riot were not caught, their sudden retreat obviously means something else.

Is there any other possibility except that someone else tried to sneaked into the factory?

"It's just too noisy, and didn't those guys run away? I want to sleep for a while." Lying on the hard bed again, Destroyer said gloomily.

Now there are at least more than 2,000 Sangvis Ferri droids stationed at the main factory, and at least more than half of them are patrol teams. After turning off the alarm, these patrols will return to their original patrol routes. In addition to the garrisons and reserve combat units in the factory, Destroyer does not think that the invaders can succeed.

She has thought about it carefully!

"It's up to you. If someone steals something important, don't say I didn't remind you." Dreamer shrugged her shoulders and did not intend to find the invading tactical dolls herself.

Griffin is fighting fiercely now, and with her command against them, she has to slice a portion of her thought process to take a look at her dummy dolls. Although she doesn't have to control the dummies herself, she is still very interested in what those Griffin dolls want to do.

"I know, I know, what's the big deal? Those guys can't sneak in. I have already laid a net in the factory!" Destroyer said confidently and directly buckled a worn-out earphone on her ear.

"This guy..."

...

"What's going on? Did Sangvis intend to use Dinergates as surveillance probes?" RO635 was really shocked when she saw the Dinergates running all over the ground. Even on Renault's spaceship, she had never seen so many Dinergates running around.

And there were so many Dinergates in the corridor that there was no place to walk through!

M4 frowned with a headache. If they wanted to move forward, they had to walk into the detection range of these Dinergates. Even if they wanted to go around, it was impossible. The activities of these Dinergates were completely random. It was impossible to predict what they would do next and which direction they would go!

It must be said that the Sangvis Ferri doll who was in charge of guarding the factory this time seemed to be really capable...

"Puff!"

Looking at the solemn expressions of M4 and RO, M16 couldn't help but laugh softly.

When M16 laughed, M4 and RO were so scared that their souls flew away!

Why are you make a loud sound at such a close distance!? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those Dinergates!?

Well, M16 is really not afraid of being discovered by those Dinergates because there is no sound in the factory. The slight noise from the factory's internal operation can completely suppress her laughter.

And the Dinergates, just as she expected, did not react to her voice.

Seeing this scene, M4 and RO, who were still a little doubtful, immediately looked at M16 with curious eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. Sangvis' idea is indeed very good, but these Sangvis Dinergates, you all know that they were previously just electronic pets, right?"

The Dinergates, which were supposed to be electronic pets, were equipped with high-definition monitoring equipment and some basic weapons and equipment by Sangvis Ferri, and were used as reconnaissance units.

But in fact, the reconnaissance effect of the Dinergates is limited to shooting some video images and recording some sounds.

The Dinergates themselves do not have any early warning function, especially when there is no one to control and command. Just like these Dinergates in front of them, each of them is swaying back and forth in the way that the original electronic pets act.

In this state, Dinergates will only send warning information to their superiors unless they detect obvious signals from hostile units.

Before they set out to perform this mission, Persica had already provided a simulation program for the Sangvis Ferri droid signal.

Different from the technology used by M1887 at the beginning, her Sangvis Ferri identity came from some parts of Sangvis Ferri, and this time Persica provided them with a technology similar to that of Renault, which can temporarily disguise their signals as Sangvis Ferri units.

However, because there is no native Sangvis Ferri parts support, this simulation signal can only last for a few hours.

During these few hours, as long as the command authority is not too high, like these Dinergates in front of them, there is no way to detect the abnormality of their signals.

As M16 said, she directly started the simulation program, then waved to M4 and RO who were still a little unresponsive, and walked out with a gun in hand.

Seeing M16's "reckless" behavior, the two held their breath and stared at M16 and the Dinergates beside her without blinking, fearing that the little guys would rush to M16 one by one and use the weapons they carried to attack M16 at close range.

To be fair, the weapons and equipment carried by the Dinergates are not very strong, whether in terms of power or anything else.

But it's not a question whether they can withstand the attack of these Dinergates, they will rush to their faces before launching an attack!

Even if the caliber is small, they can't withstand the continuous attack of these guys at zero distance!

What surprised M4 and RO was that these Dinergates did not attack M16, and they had no intention of passing on the information here. They just sat on the ground stupidly, staring blankly at M16 with the camera.

M16 even had the mind to bend down and reach out to touch one of the little guys.

Chapter 124: Gathering Money for an escape route

"The Dinergates are moving around casually, proving that they have not received any orders except being transferred here. Their behavior patterns are exactly the same as when they were electronic pets, so there is no need to worry that these little guys will suddenly attack."

"But... can't they identify non-Sangvis units? Through image comparison or something?"

When they were fighting with Sangvis Ferri, these endless streams of Dinergates caused them a lot of trouble.

M4 and RO found it hard to believe that these Dinergates would be so... so close to people without receiving orders.

"Indeed, they can identify them. Don't forget the signal simulation equipment on us. As for appearance comparison, Dinergates have this function, but it's a bit... they don't possess sufficient memory banks to let Dinergates use this function in combat, you know." M16 said, waving at the two of them and pointing to a seemingly inconspicuous door.

"This is a maintenance passage? M16, how do you know there is a maintenance passage here?"

Neither Persica nor Gentiane had obtained the internal structure diagram of the Sangvis Ferri Factory. If they had, they might not have needed to risk rushing in before.

"Well, I don't know. Although I don't have any memory of this place, the sense of déjà vu is quite strong. I always feel like I have walked these roads before."

Opening the maintenance passage with ease, M16 walked and looked at the scene in the passage.

It could be seen that this maintenance passage had not been used for a long time. There was a thick layer of dust in the passage. Only in the dim light of the emergency lamp could a series of footprints left here be vaguely seen.

"M16, look at these footprints... and yours..."

Hearing RO's words, M16 lowered her head and looked at the footprints that were no longer obvious with some suspicion.

Although the footprints on the ground had been covered by a layer of dust, they were still very clear to the doll. Therefore, after seeing the series of footprints, M16 was shocked and immediately compared her own footprints with them.

M16 did not have the habit of changing shoes frequently, and the ones on her feet had been worn for a long time.

Who said that shoes were not produced by IOP?

The two sets of footprints couldn't be said to be very similar; because they were exactly the same...

After discovering this fact, M16's brows furrowed, and she unconsciously raised her fingers and placed them on her scar, covered by the eye mask.

"M16? M16!" Seeing that M16 seemed to be lost in memories and her expression was a little off, M4 hurriedly shouted.

"Hmm? Sorry, I was distracted for a while, but I still can't remember anything. Don't think about this for now. Focus on the task first. Time waits for no one." With a sigh, M16 threw aside the messy thoughts and guesses in her neural cloud and took the lead to walk into the depths of the passage.

Seeing M16's worried look, M4 and RO looked at each other with some worry.

...

"It's really strange. I thought all those Sangvis Ferri would rush over us at all cost." RPK16 saw the Sangvis pursuers behind her turn around and return to the factory. She breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in a strange way.

When did the Sangvis become kind? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they keep chasing them until they completely eliminate the target or are eliminated themselves?

"The alarm just sounded in the Sangvis Ferri factory, but it stopped immediately. Those Sangvis Ferri dolls also turned around and returned when the alarm stopped." AN94 also turned around at this time and said to those Sangvis Ferri dolls who left without looking back.

"Although I don't know what happened, I can be sure that the AR team has not been exposed yet."

"What about us? Shall we continue the operation?" RPK16 raised her eyebrows.

Although they were not exposed, all the patrolling Sangvis Ferri had returned. In this way, even if the AR team really got the document, they would definitely face many obstacles when they came out.

It is even possible that they will be attacked from both sides by ordinary Sangvis Ferri dolls and elite Sangvis Ferri Ringleaders. In that case, it would not be a joke to annihilate the whole army.

"Don't move for now, wait 20 minutes before taking action." AK12 said this, opened her eyes, and looked in the direction of the Sangvis Ferri factory.

Their mission is to assist the AR team, so they naturally cannot watch the AR team trapped inside the Sangvis Ferri main factory and unable to get out.

Just hope that this time, they will not be surrounded by those Sangvis dolls. Of course, this possibility is still very small. The place where they took action this time is just opposite to the direction of the Sangvis Ferri' defense.

Besides, those Sangvis Ferri Armored Units that left did not have time to get behind them, so the retreat would be very smooth if there were no accidents.

"Well, I hope there will be no accidents. By the way, let me say in advance that if you ever need help from Boss Renault, you'd better prepare your wallets. Ange can't afford it, so we should be able to have enough to chip in money, right?"

As soon as she said this, RPK16 pinched her wallet in her bag. Working under Angelia, she only saw her salary once, which was left by the previous RPK16. She didn't spend a penny anyway.

Well, she just couldn't find a chance. She was either repairing or testing, and she hardly ever left the maintenance room. How could she have time to spend her little money?

"What... chip in?" Hearing RPK16's words, AK12 was moved and took out her wallet and flipped through it. "Uh, I seem to have a meager amount...."

AK12 scratched her cheek in embarrassment. She was not like RPK16, who clutched her wallet tightly and was stingy.

Before, in Griffin's base, she went to Kalina's store and then went to the dessert shop in Griffin's base.

She didn't expect that Kalina wouldn't empty her wallet, but she ended up spending it all on the desserts in the dessert shop.

At that time, she felt that the opportunity was rare, and she didn't think too much and just paid the bill...

What a mistake!

"If it's money, I still have some here." Seeing AK12's bitter face, AN94 was obviously more careful than AK12. The wallet her took out was bulging, and it was obvious that she had a lot of savings.

And when AN94 took out her wallet, AK15 also took out her wallet at the same time.

The three of them only had about 500,000.

Fortunately, the face value of these banknotes was relatively large, otherwise, their small wallets would not be able to hold so much money.

"Well, although it's not much, Boss Renault's ship has been hovering over this area. It shouldn't be a problem if we speak nicely and say more nice things... Well, probably."

Compared to the evacuation method arranged by Ange and Griffin, RPK16 still felt that Renault was safer. AK12 and others obviously felt the same way.

After all, the huge spaceship made people feel safe just by looking at it.

Chapter 125: I'm Not Going Because I Don't Need Money

"Nothing yet. Sangvis haven't discovered our actions yet, have they?" RO635 looked at the door of the computer room. They had been in there for a long time, but there was still no movement from Sangvis Ferri.

Isn't this too strange?

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, I probably know what's going on. Do you remember the Sangvis Ferri doll with a not-so-smart brain that we almost killed?" M16, who was standing on a high place, watching the area while looking at her mobile phone, said to RO635 through the doll communication network.

"Almost... Oh! That destroyer?"

"Yes, that guy. The message from Papasha is that the Sangvis Ferri' Mastermind, Agent, Judge, and Dreamed have all appeared on the battlefield of Griffin," M16 said, shrugging her shoulders helplessly.

It's not that she wanted to use her mobile phone, but the message from Papasha had already been sent, so why not read it?

It seems that the mobile phone made by Renault is very secretive in communication. Sangvis side did not respond to the signal of the mobile phone at all. It may also be because Destroyer did not care at all.

After hearing the information from M16, RO635 suddenly realized that Renault had abducted many of the Sangvis Ferri elite dolls a long time ago, and five Sangvis Ferri dolls were abducted not long ago. This also includes the Hunter-Executioner-Scarecrow trio who were remade.

How long has it been? It is too late to remake the elite dolls now.

Therefore, since so many Sangvis Ferri Ringleaders have appeared on the front battlefield, it seems that the only elite doll left is the destroyer herself. It is not that they have not thought that the Sangvis Ferri side may create new elite dolls, but even for elite dolls, combat experience and other factors need time to cultivate.

If it is a new, unfamiliar doll, they will be happy to deal with it, because new dolls are definitely easier to deceive than experienced ones!

M16 and RO were relaxed, but M4 was getting nervous. "But, since the Sangvis Ferri's Mastermind and Agent have all gone to the front battlefield, then Commander Gentiane is..."

Facing multiple Sangvis Ferri elite dolls at the same time, not to mention the unknown number of Sangvis Ferri armored units, Griffin's feint attack troops are in danger!

Maybe they have already fallen!

Not to mention how many Sangvis Ferri dolls and Sangvis Ferri armored units there are, just those elite dolls, plus the Sangvis Ferri's Mastermind itself, are enough to make Griffin's tactical dolls suffer. Now add to that countless ordinary Sangvis Ferri droids, and those armored units that may rush to the front battlefield at any time.

She is really worried now. After all, Gentiane, who is the tactical commander, must have rushed to the closest Griffin outpost closest nearby to command the feint attack. Once Griffin's tactical dolls retreat, Commander Gentiane is likely to be directly exposed to the offensive of the Sangvis Ferri dolls!

"Don't worry, Commander Gentiane is more thoughtful than you think; she must have been prepared." M16 waved her hand and said, and last time... when the Mastermind was there, Gentiane carried M4 and ran away.

She watched Gentiane run very fast; that speed was simply not like a human!

"Well, I hope so." M4 nodded, looking at the progress bar on the screen that was almost at the end. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; the data transfer would be completed soon, and then they could evacuate from the Sangvis Ferri Factory 0. As for the evacuation method...

...

"Hey, hey! Don't be so stingy! Can't you just help me?" Persica said this, but his eyes caught a glimpse of Renault's raised finger. "Wait! Wait! Don't hang up! I'll pay! I've got money!"

Like RPK16, Persica also thought of Renault's spaceship. If Renault could go out to pick up people, it would be safe. No anti-aircraft weapon known in the world could cause any damage to Renault's ship.

But when Persica opened her mouth, she kept talking about how good the relationship between the AR team was. If the remaining three people in the AR team couldn't escape, AR15 and SOP2 would be very sad, etc.

The meaning behind her words was nothing more than that, for the sake of AR15 and SOP2, Renault should charge less or no commission.

Of course, Renault would not agree.

He was doing business. Although the relationship was good, he should at least see some return, right? It's true that their relationship was good, so it's fine to count it as a friendly discount, but it's a bit uncivilized for you to want to get a free ride.

Looking at Renault, who was staring at her silently on the other side of the communication, Persica calculated her research funds and raised three fingers, "How about this number? One million for one doll. If they are unharmed, I will pay an additional two million!"

Hearing this, Renault's eyes lit up. This price has exceeded the price paid by Angelica before, and Renault will certainly not continue to refuse.

Just after Renault and Persica discussed the relevant matters of remuneration, RPK16's message was also sent to Renault's mobile phone. She commissioned to pick up the AR team that is performing the infiltration mission, and Task Force DEFY responsible for covering the AR team.

These guys are now all gathered inside and outside the Sangvis Ferri factory. It is not difficult to pick them up. Just let someone drive a gunship down, and it will take less than two minutes to complete.

Although the price of RPK16's dismissal is not high, since RPK16 has already sent her predecessor to Renault as a guinea pig, it is not impossible to give RPK16 a full discount price.

"There will be a job to earn extra money later. Who among you will go?" Renault didn't care about the money and let the dolls take it as pocket money.

After hearing this, Ouroboros wanted to raise her hand and sign up immediately, but seeing that Renault was looking at Simonov and SPAS-12 when he said this, it was obvious that this job must be related to driving a spaceship or a gunship.

With no skills, Ouroboros, who could do nothing except play games, could only put down her hand awkwardly and look at Simonov and the others unwillingly.

"No, no, I don't have anything I want to buy now." Simonov was the first to shake her head and refuse.

After all, she didn't lack money at all. She could stay at home and drink happily. Why did she have to go out and make trouble for herself?

SPAS-12 also had a similar expression, and obviously didn't intend to get involved in this mission.

"Hmph, there's really no other way. Then I can only play the role of a driver." UMP45 stood up at this time. Simonov and SPAS-12 were not interested in this extra income, but she was different.

Whether it was the cat UMP40 raised or their daily expenses, UMP45 and UMP40 did not have much money in their pockets now.

Now there was such a simple opportunity to make a fortune... so what was she waiting for?
