Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Familiar Faces Reunited?
"Are we going to pick up MDR and RFB now? Their mission shouldn't be completed so quickly, right?" SPAS-12 asked, glancing at the direction indicated by Renault.
"It's almost done; MDR has been sending me messages non-stop."
Couldn't they just post it anonymously? Why bombard me with messages and photos like this?
Rolling his eyes, Renault couldn't figure out what was going on in MDR's head.
"By the way, according to the messages from MDR, M16 from AR Team seems to be nearby."
"That guy!?"
As soon as Renault mentioned M16 from AR Team, HK416 frowned. If G11 wasn't lying on her lap, HK416 would probably have stood up from her seat immediately.
"What? Are you going to seek revenge on her? I'm actually looking forward to seeing you beat her up." Seeing HK416's displeased expression, UMP45 couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you have a grudge against 416 and that M16? I recall seeing them together in a photo album?" UMP40 looked curiously at HK416, but didn't notice HK416's sudden change in expression after hearing her words.
Her and M16 together? Impossible!
She didn't share any memories with MDR, and the only time she was photographed with M16 was when they fell into the sea at that port and couldn't move!
She hadn't forgotten!
She remembered how embarrassed she felt when Renault brought her and M16 back. That bastard, MDR! She would definitely give her a good beating when she had the chance!
UMP45, upon hearing UMP40's question, shrugged. "Who knows the specifics? Every time she sees a photo of M16, she grits her teeth. It's strange if there's no grudge."
UMP45 hadn't planned on exposing HK416's secrets in front of everyone. Otherwise, that guy would probably have tried to kill her!
However, to UMP45's surprise, after the initial excitement, HK416 calmly sat back down as if nothing had happened. Her calm demeanor seemed genuine.
"Huh?"
"Revenge is completely unnecessary. She simply kicked me out of the task force and almost caused my Neural Core to be melted down. There's nothing to retaliate against." HK416 said calmly. With G11 who had just woken up, it really showed on the face how angry HK416 really was.
The aircraft arrived at the location where MDR had sent the message in no time. Near the landing site, four T-Dolls were waiting.
It was none other than AK12 and MDR's team, who had set off earlier to find the Sangvis Ferri's next move.
It seemed they had already completed their mission and were waiting for Renault's agreed extraction.
"Hello again, Commander Renault." AK12 greeted Renault with a smile as soon as she saw him.
"Mm." Renault nodded in acknowledgment and glanced around, but didn't see any trace of M16.
"Have you seen M16 from AR Team?"
"Hey, Commander, we've perfectly completed the mission, and you're asking about someone else's whereabouts without even giving us any praise or reward?" MDR complained when she saw Renault's gaze not on them.
"Perfect? Weren't you busy taking selfies the whole time? When did you have time to help others?"
"Cough, I was documenting the mission process along the way."
MDR dared to say, even though it was clear she was flattering herself. Didn't she ever look at herself in the mirror?
"Before entering the safe house, we found M16's whereabouts, but we didn't pay much attention since we weren't there to find her. Now M16 could be anywhere within a few kilometers."
AK12 spoke as she boarded Renault's aircraft, grateful they didn't have to rely solely on their legs to get back.
After giving them their tasks, Ange had left the area by plane, so they had walked all the way here.
Although there might be a helicopter shuttle on the way back, they had jogged all the way here, and now they had the chance to ride Renault's aircraft back to the assembly point. AK12 and AN94 couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
After AK12 finished speaking, Renault looked at MDR. He had already instructed her to keep an eye on M16's whereabouts; he didn't believe she would never pay attention to it.
And MDR had indeed been paying attention to M16's movements as instructed by Renault.
Now that he had learned of M16's whereabouts from MDR, Renault wasted no time and headed straight for M16's hiding place with a group of T-Dolls.
Renault wondered what M16 was up to. If she was only buying time for M4A1 to escape, her actions now seemed excessive; M4A1 had already returned to Griffin's base.
But when Renault saw her, M16 had just finished off several Sangvis Ferri-made droids and was now sitting on a pile of wreckage while regaining her strength.
Bang!
As soon as HK416 saw M16, she opened the hatch and jumped out of the aircraft, then walked straight toward M16.
Seeing this scene, the people on the aircraft couldn't help but stand by the door and watch the excitement.
To be honest, UMP45 didn't think HK416 would lose to M16. After all, she was a prototype made by Renault, far surpassing normal T-Dolls in performance.
Of course, if HK416 became stupid, she might lose to M16.
But HK416 was no longer the same as before; she had faced many battles in the training simulator during this time!
Her training had definitely yielded results!
"Huh? I guess you're not here to help, are you?" M16 sensed HK416's movements and spoke without turning around.
Bang!
Facing M16's sarcasm and perhaps learning from Renault, HK416 didn't say a word.
She simply took out her grenade launcher from her bag and fired a grenade directly at M16!
"Ah!? Hey!"
Although M16 had already sensed who the intruder was, she didn't expect HK416 to be so ruthless.
Was that necessary? Using grenades as soon as you come up? And are your grenades inexhaustible? Will you ever stop!?
Watching HK416 launch grenade after grenade, M16 felt bitter.
She had been out here in the wilderness for so long, carefully conserving her ammunition, while HK416 seemed to be throwing grenades around as if they were free...
