NOVEL NEXT Chapter 430: Chapter 430: The Clue is Broken
"This is different from the initial plan! Where did that guy who came from the sky come from? Two shots and the communication node was taken out! Damn it!"
Still within the Sangvis Ferri stronghold in Area S09, Destroyer stomped angrily.
She had planned to say a few words in front of the AR team to show off, but that unidentified airship from the sky directly disrupted her plan!
"Heh, you should be grateful that you had already evacuated from that stronghold at the time. Otherwise, instead of the communication node, it would have been your stupid little head pierced by that armor-piercing shell," Dreamer remarked, chin in hand, watching the frustrated Destroyer.
Initially finding it amusing, she couldn't help but feel uneasy when recalling the shot that pierced the communication node earlier.
The attack that destroyed the communication node actually occurred after the first armor-piercing shell pierced the wall of the building. After that, the communication node was already destroyed.
A precise attack like that indicated that the enemy had clearly obtained the exact location of the communication node. The subsequent explosion that directly demolished the building with a high-explosive shell was more of a cover-up to ensure the complete destruction of the communication node rather than for any other purpose.
As for how the enemy knew the specific location of the communication node?
There was AR15 there at the time, right?
That doll can now connect to Sangvis' Ferri communication nodes, so it's not strange for her to know the exact location.
"So what do we do now?"
"What do we do? Of course, we continue with the mission. Kryuger is still alive and well."
...
"Oh, it looks a bit creepy. It's a good thing I've already switched sides from Griffin. If I were in that situation now, I might just blow up and kill them all on the spot," M14 spoke, watching AR15 being escorted into the base by two Griffin human employees.
"Well, Commander Renault certainly wouldn't do something like that," M200 said with absolute certainty, then added in her mind...
He would just charge up and knock you down, then forcibly start examining your body, just like the unfortunate Executioner before.
Although what he does seems to have no substantial difference, why does it feel more comforting if Renault charges up and beats them up?
Strange. Is there something wrong with her neural cloud? How could she have such strange thoughts?
Thinking of this, M200 shuddered and shook her head to dispel these inexplicable thoughts.
And such a situation would never happen anyway. The firewall installed by Renault around their neural cores is not something that can be broken by mere dolls or electronic warfare equipment.
Even though M200 had studied that firewall for a long time and even consulted MDR and UMP45, who are specialized in electronic warfare, they couldn't do anything about it.
"Um, that's true, uh... I'm done eating. I wonder if there's anything left in the cafeteria now..." M14 nodded, about to speak, but then realized that her chopsticks were empty, and all the food in her bowl had been eaten without her noticing.
M14 then turned her head. She looked somewhat unsatisfied at the remaining food in M200's bowl.
"Huh? Ah! No way! This is mine! The Commander finally cooked once! If you're still hungry, go ask G36 to make you some!"
"Hey!?! I just want a bite! Just one bite! Give me a piece!"
"Absolutely not! Get your own!"
Dodging M14, M200 started stuffing the food from the bowl into her mouth!
While grumbling, she stepped forward and ran away on the top deck.
The sounds of their playful chase and escape reached Gentiane, who was sighing at AR15's back below.
Turning back to look at the two figures running and jumping on the top of the spacecraft, Gentiane couldn't help but envy them a little.
Damn it! Why can Renault sit comfortably in a spacecraft and have a meal while she has to work here!?
"Alright, the Sangvis Ferri's movements are unclear now. Whatever the next steps are, you should go back and prepare properly. And don't worry too much, AR15 will definitely be back soon."
"Yes."
Hearing Gentiane's words, the three members of the AR team responded somewhat listlessly. The suspicion of AR15 leaking information had made them feel uneasy.
But M16 wasn't overly worried. Whether it was because she didn't care much or because she already knew that AR15 would be fine.
"15 is only suspected for now, it's not confirmed that she did it. So relax for now, finish your work first." M16 looked at the somber M4A1 and comforted her softly.
Meanwhile, SOP2 was walking ahead with a gloomy expression. The expression on her face was evidently very bad, and all the busy Griffin employees avoided her when they saw her.
But perhaps because Renault had ordered Simonov and the others to directly destroy the communication node, Griffin didn't respond promptly. The Sangvis Ferri's movements were cut off immediately after the communication node was destroyed.
Although Griffin had dispatched follow-up teams to investigate, they still hadn't found the elite Sangvis Ferri dolls who had previously attacked the Griffin base.
However, they had a rough idea of the location of the weapons that attacked the base, even though it was far away, it was still a constant threat since those weapons could directly hit the Griffin base.
Although abandoning this base and moving elsewhere could avoid significant casualties for Griffin, this base buried deep underground had consumed a lot of manpower and resources to build.
If they were to abandon it now, the losses would almost equal Griffin's profits for the past two years.
Therefore, the urgent problem for Griffin now was to identify the elite doll operating in this area and then directly destroy the weapons that could bombard the base.
But now that the news of the elite Sangvis Ferri doll had been cut off, besides dispatching teams from the base to search, it appears that there was no other effective way to find the elite doll directly.
While Griffin was struggling with this headache, Renault's side was not so nervous.
Well, to be precise, only Renault himself was not nervous. Most of the other dolls were all eagerly eyeing the large pot in front of Renault.
Their chopsticks and spoons were all ready, waiting to grab a bit more food when it came out of the pot.
"Oops! Hey! What are you guys doing! We haven't eaten yet! Can't you guys who have already eaten wait a bit!?" Simonov squeezed forward somewhat dejectedly.
But since everyone had the same body structure, no one could push anyone else, and exerting too much force could damage the furnishings in the restaurant, so they didn't dare to push too hard.
