"Hmm?"
Jackie turned back in confusion and saw the Monstrous Figure disembarking from the vehicle, an armored person approximately two meters tall.
"Relax, this might be the reinforcements Berry mentioned."
Jackie waved his hand, telling the Mercenaries, who had become nervous upon seeing the mysterious figure holding a gun, to relax.
"You are…"
However, looking at the armored soldier walking towards him, Jackie maintained basic vigilance. When the other party reached a certain distance, Jackie extended his hand, signaling her to stop.
"Hey, Jackie."
It wasn't until the voice came from inside the fully enclosed helmet that Jackie reacted.
"V?"
Jackie exclaimed in surprise.
Although the voice sounded a bit muffled due to being transmitted from inside the helmet, the voice itself was very clear.
It was undoubtedly the voice of Jackie's good sister, V.
"Holy cow, what kind of getup is that? You look pretty formidable."
Seeing it was an acquaintance, Jackie let his curiosity show in his eyes.
"A big toy made by Berry, she sent me to test its power."
V stated truthfully.
"This armor is definitely powerful, practically a human-shaped tank."
V's evaluation of the armor was undoubtedly high, which caught Jackie's attention.
And hearing that Berry had made this thing, Jackie nodded with a sense of relief.
So it was Berry.
It wasn't surprising that guy could create such a thing.
Jackie trusted Berry's abilities.
"Then you've come at just the right time."
Jackie was originally going to rack his brains a bit more, but now that V had arrived, his mind suddenly sparked, and he thought of a good solution.
"We really need a breakthrough here."
Jackie briefly explained the situation.
The facts were pretty much as V had guessed: under the unprepared ambush, the Scavengers suffered heavy losses. They were routed, leaving bodies everywhere, and fled into the maintenance pipes of the underground passage, stubbornly resisting in the dark pipes.
However, things got troublesome after that.
Because this group of Scavengers had rare heavy weapons, several heavy machine guns, and in the narrow pipes, the power of these things was unimaginable.
Jackie organized several assaults, but they were easily repelled; they couldn't even break through the entrance.
He had originally planned to use cluster bombs to clear the way and charge in forcefully, but now that V had arrived, it gave him another opportunity.
"V, how are your armor's capabilities? Can it withstand heavy machine guns? If it's good enough, let's charge in together and kick some ass."
"No problem, I'll take care of it."
V nodded, indicating it was fine.
This armor could even withstand direct mortar fire, let alone a few heavy machine guns.
"Good, then let's give it a try! Let's kick some ass!"
Jackie waved his gun and shouted to the people behind him.
"A few of you, come with me! Let's charge again!"
V took a deep breath and gripped the gun in her hand.
Come on, she was ready.
