LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Travel Plans?
"What are you... Commander Renault, what are you up to?"
After opening her eyes and assessing her surroundings, M16 immediately recognized Renault sitting nearby doodling away.
The situation at Nikolayev Harbor was still fresh in her memory.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask about Intruder's location, but it seems HK416 holds quite a grudge against you," Renault replied, gazing at M16.
"That's right, getting beaten up is purely HK416's personal vendetta; it has nothing to do with us. We've just been sitting here on the aircraft the whole time,"
MDR added with a smile, but M16 couldn't shake the feeling that her smile looked rather sinister.
And... what's the point of just sitting here and watching!
Why don't you do something to restrain that reckless HK416!?
Feeling like she was about to fall apart... could it be that Renault is her nemesis?
From their first encounter to now, M16 had only seen Renault twice. The first time, she was immobilized in seawater, and now, the second time, she ended up in this sorry state...
Leaning back in her seat, M16 didn't want to move at all. She could only roll her eyes with her lone eye and try to transmit Intruder's location information to MDR through communication protocols.
"Ah, M16, you're just sending location information, why are you sending some extra stuff to me?" MDR raised an eyebrow upon receiving Intruder's location information, as well as receiving some unexpected data during the transmission.
This looked like some sort of computer virus, perhaps even Intruder's doing. As soon as it arrived, it seemed to be trying to extract a large amount of computational resources from her Neural Core.
However, Renault's firewall swiftly blocked all actions of this unknown program.
Before MDR could take any action, the program that came along with Intruder's coordinates was completely wiped clean.
"Extra stuff? What are you talking about?"
M16 clearly didn't understand what MDR was saying. She just assumed MDR was teasing her. She then relaxed and slouched in her seat, not wanting to move.
In reality, she couldn't move anyway. The last blow from HK416 had really injured her badly.
If she forced herself to move, it could potentially cause secondary damage to her fractured bones and various internal modules, even her neural core.
Seeing M16's clueless expression, MDR shrugged.
Since that program existed in the outer space of her mind for less than two seconds before being deleted by the firewall, it was a trivial matter. She didn't feel like bothering with M16 anymore.
Hmm, that's right, new material obtained!
With the filming done, no wonder HK416 was in such a good mood saying she settled the score.
Just as HK416 brought M16 back like carrying a sack, she and MDR immediately posed M16 in various positions, even pinching M16's face to make her pull different expressions.
Although HK416 knew that M16 wouldn't waver because of these mere photos, but... but she felt great!
Seeing M16 in such a miserable state, it was as refreshing as drinking ice water on a scorching summer day!
"Commander, by the way, have all those things been delivered?" While MDR was sending the coordinates to SPAS-12, RFB suddenly looked up and asked Renault.
"Of course, the old lady is quite pleased. But if you two went along, she might be even happier."
"Well, let's talk about it next time. There should be another opportunity in the future, right?" RFB scratched her cheek awkwardly, feeling a bit anxious as she asked Renault, afraid he might say there won't be a next time.
"In a few days, during the test flight of the ship, we'll find a way to take a look over there." Renault said without looking back.
Hearing this, RFB visibly brightened up, but she didn't say anything, just lowered her head to continue fiddling with her fish, although she seemed absent-minded. Even G11 beside her couldn't help but furrow her brows.
Intruder's base wasn't too far from where M16 was captured, just a dozen or so minutes away.
By the time SPAS-12 detected the position of the Sangvis Ferri's command node, the Griffin squadrons below had already begun their attack.
"Tsk, this girl really likes this kind of thing. She even chose a theater for the base?"
Feeling the Sangvis Ferri command signals spreading out from the command node, Executioner couldn't help but frown in annoyance.
Hunter also glanced worriedly at Renault, who was sitting still over there.
Although she didn't know what this commander named Renault was going to do with her and Executioner, she was starting to worry...
She was worried that Renault might hand them over to Griffin. If they fell into Griffin's hands, she could imagine what their fate would be dismantled in the factory, their neural cores taken out separately and placed on the experiment table for repeated research.
Even though she had seen how Executioner was treated now, knew that this person had been given a new body, and her neural core had been upgraded to a more advanced model, but... but she still worried!
There were so many Griffin squadrons below! She couldn't even move now! Can't she be afraid for a moment!?
The Griffin squadrons below appeared to be well-prepared, surrounding the Sangvis Ferri autonomous units that were originally planning to encircle a few Griffin squadrons. Then they directly seized the opportunity and completely wiped them out.
With only Intruder directing the Sangvis Ferri's droid army, under the flexible tactics of the Griffin side, they were like dumbfounded wooden blocks.
As the Sangvis Ferri's signal suddenly decreased below, both Executioner and Hunter felt a sense of dread.
For them, as Sangvis Ferris, it wasn't difficult to guess this situation.
When the elite doll body suffered severe damage, the signals sent out naturally decreased significantly.
Obviously, Intruder in the theater below had been taken down, and the actions of those Griffin squadrons were smoothly conducted under the command of the Griffin commanders, almost flawlessly.
As part of Sangvis Ferri, apart from thinking about enhancing their own body bodies, they really couldn't think of any other way to break the current dire situation.
"Nine, go down now and bring Intruder back." UMP45 poked UMP9's rib and instructed her.
"Huh? But the Commander hasn't said..."
"You idiot, if you don't go down now, that man will jump down by himself!"
UMP45 tapped UMP9's forehead and then stood up, opening the rear hatch. SPAS-12 also cooperated by lowering the altitude of the aircraft.
"Got it! I'll go now!" Hearing UMP45's words, UMP9 didn't doubt her, and she directly leaped out of the cabin from the aircraft!
