"Ah! HK416! The commander rushed out by himself! Does it really not matter?"
Watching Renault walk out of the chamber door without any fear, Super-Shorty couldn't help but call out nervously.
At this time, her life detection module had also responded, but the reading was still very low. The distance should be around forty meters, and the number was not much, only six or seven.
Super-Shorty couldn't help but complain about the lack of detection distance of her life detection module, but unfortunately, it was meant to be an auxiliary module for confirming the movements of people inside buildings at close range. It simply doesn't have as vast a detection range as the military model. So when will this thing be replaced?
In fact, this thing was already a military device for ordinary dolls, and it was only because of Griffin's cooperation with Statesec that a small number of castrated versions were made in the first place. The ones Renault had installed on his own doll were mostly traded in from the black market. Most of them were new of course, and most of them trickled out of the hands of IOP insiders.
This is also a tacitly recognized behavior. If someone dares to remove the life detection module on the doll body and put it on the black market to buy second-hand, then I'm afraid they don't need to wait for the buyer to come to their door; just the military finding them will be enough to take their lives.
Really strange, they are selling these things, but also forbid others to buy second-hand products...
"Ugh, anyway, just be patient and wait here. It's just six or seven mercenaries; it's nothing to Renault. If you have time to worry about the Commander, the guy who's strong as hell, you might as well keep an eye on that doll and don't let her run around."
HK416 nudged towards the smaller doll walking beside Tania, signaling Super-Shorty to keep an eye on her.
After all, it was a smaller doll. The smaller dolls in the family had personalities closer to that of a child, and usually, one wouldn't be without a headache when they got rowdy.
If this doll of the client's Tania was also of this character, then they naturally had to keep an eye on her, lest she wander around and end up being inadvertently taken out as an enemy by the mercenaries who rushed in.
"Ah! I'm not a little kid! I definitely won't wander around!"
Just like the other dolls in the house, the word 'little kid' seems to be a forbidden phrase for these little ones. Whenever someone brought it up, they dared to blow up on the spot.
"You'd better. That said, is there anything you guys haven't picked up yet? If not, we'll just get you guys on our ship when we get out to keep those orphanage kids company."
It had to be said that although HK416 did have a small amount of resentment towards this client who did not inform them of the detailed information of the mission, the money given by the other party was just too generous.
Unsurprisingly, this time when she went back, her wallet which was just about to go flat due to shopping all over the city previously would definitely be able to get a share of the large sum of money this time.
Renault was not at all withholding in terms of giving his own family members pocket money. Every time he went out on a mission, the money he gave them was far more than what they got from their missions in Griffin.
Tania lying on the door panel woke up when she heard this. She first shook her head, then endured the pain and opened her mouth towards HK416. She asked.
"Have all the children in that orphanage at the bottom of the valley been transferred away?"
"Already moved away. The child who led the way and followed us, I think her name is Misha, right?" HK416 said, sending another message to UMP40, asking for the names of those children and their numbers.
After confirming with the poorly speaking Tania was also relieved while lying on the door panel. "Yeah, that's right, the name and numbers are correct. Nothing wrong on their end?"
"Of course there isn't, but that valley you mentioned had a lot more mercenaries when we were there. Those mercenaries even escorted the children all the way before they boarded the ship, but unfortunately, as soon as they heard that we wouldn't let them board the ship, they went off nuts."
As HK416 was speaking, the smaller doll next to Tania realized that she had heard the word ship twice in HK416's words. She asked in confusion.
"By ship? But there shouldn't be any lakes or rivers nearby?"
There were creeks, but those with water that was just barely above the surface of their feet weren't enough to hold up a ship, right?
What's more, it's winter now, and although there isn't much of an ice age in this town between the peaks, those creeks have completely frozen over. Otherwise, the owner wouldn't have gone without a bath for most of the month and would only be able to frantically consume all that perfume every day to hide her embarrassment.
"Spaceship, so sure there's nothing left out? If it's too much of a hassle when you forgot something, watch out for our commander when he asks you for extra money when he gets back."
Though it's unlikely that he'll keep quiet about any cost increases.
After all, although money given by Tania this time was definitely enough, but in the past when Renault took on commissions, in those deveral times, didn't he also increase the price...
So this time, it's also not guaranteed...
Bang Bang Bang!
Just as she was thinking about it, the sound of gunshots outside the crypt had already sounded!
Super-Shorty, who was hiding sideways at the entrance of the crypt to watch, was also busy retreating back from that conspicuous position at the entrance. She had just merely dodged a hail of bullets aiming at her head, and was being aimed at by a large group of people with gunpoints!
Most importantly!
"HK416! Those enemies outside are mismatched in terms of numbers! It's not some six or seven at all! There are at least forty of them out there now!?"
Super-Shorty, who had shrunk back, shouted loudly at HK416 before she could allow herself to breathe a sigh of relief.
"No? The Life Detector clearly..."
Hearing this, HK416 also gingerly padded over to the entrance of the chamber and glanced out.
IIt didn't matter if she didn't look. After taking notice of the load shootout not faraway, even HK416 couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Because the number of enemies outside was simply too much!
"This can't be possible! The life detection module isn't even responding!"
HK416 shouted in disbelief. Upon hearing this, M500 also left from beside the door panel. At this point, Tania had already been placed on the ground. She didn't have to worry about rolling back to the ground at all, as she would have a hard time even lifting her hands right now, let alone rolling over.
Not poking her head out to check as the other two did, M500 stood next to the doorway of the chamber, her ears already perked up on the top of her head. It wasn't clear what exactly her designer had in mind with her ears for in the first place, but at the very least she was using them now.
Although the life detection module looked like it was out of order at the moment, M500's ears were, to a certain extent, a more sensitive existence than ordinary people and T-dolls.
Listening to the sounds of battle outside as well as the sounds of footsteps, M500's face also sank.
"This number..."
The six or seven mercenaries that HK416 had seen before were absolutely no problem.
The problem was that there was now a large number of extra guys outside clad in black robes with no human life signatures at all, as well as no electronic signals leaking out at the same time.
