NOVEL NEXT Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Couldn't Remember?
"Couldn't remember?"
"It seems that the previous batch of Sangvis Ferri was already the majority of the forces in the hands of that Sangvis Ferri Mastermind," Gentiane pondered after examining the information obtained by the Griffin dolls during their recent reconnaissance.
"But that doll hasn't continued shelling Griffin's base during this time. Could it be that they ran out of shells?"
"Impossible, it's just that shelling Griffin's base no longer holds any strategic significance. Continuously shelling is merely a meaningless waste of ammunition."
And continuing to shell could also expose their artillery positions.
Listening to the discussion of several Griffin commanders and reviewing the calculated data provided by Helian, Kryuger rubbed his temples with some headache.
Before Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing collapsed, there was no such weapon capable of long-range shelling. Although it couldn't be ruled out that the technology had been reserved by Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing in previous operations, given the current situation, it was more likely that the Mastermind on the Sangvis Ferri side had actively created this previously unseen weapon.
Autonomous evolution of tactical dolls... it truly is a chilling concept.
Besides those shelling weapons, there's also an unidentified presence that has been tirelessly shooting down our Griffin reconnaissance drones.
This situation is something we've never encountered even when facing large numbers of SF Scout units before.
But what's even more troubling now is that huge ship parked at the base's exit...
"Why hasn't Renault left yet!?"
"Hmm? Mr. Kryuger, the materials promised to Renault from IOP haven't been delivered yet."
"Uh..." Hearing Helian's words, Kryuger finally remembered.
He had indeed agreed to Renault's deal before. The upfront payment had already been made, just waiting for the materials to be delivered.
Slapping his forehead, Kryuger sighed, "How long until the goods from IOP and our supplies arrive?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, they should arrive tomorrow morning."
"Well, let's hope Renault will leave quietly after he gets the goods."
The military has already started calling about Renault's ship. If this drags on, the military investigators might just come knocking on their door.
...
"Phew, it's really dangerous. I didn't expect the Sangvis Ferri here to have upgraded so much. I really didn't expect that the Sangvis Ferri side would actually start equipping these military-grade tactical dolls,"
AK12 whispered behind some bushes, watching several Sangvis patrolling nearby, and spoke to AN94 through their communication link.
"AK12, are you really okay over there?"
"For now, I'm fine, but I don't want to be surrounded by these impenetrable guys."
"That's good. I've already confirmed the location of the jammer. Should we head to the rendezvous point now?"
"Let's go. This mission is really troublesome. I really regret it now. If we had MDR and RFB with us, we might have already walked confidently to the location of the jammer."
Hearing AK12's words, AN94 also couldn't help but smirk.
Who would have thought that MDR and RFB who were so lackadaisical at first, would quietly disperse a large number of Sangvis Ferri units without saying a word to them?
If it weren't for the sudden increase in difficulty of this operation, coupled with Ange's reminder, they might have been kept in the dark for a while.
...
Swoosh!
Lying on the sofa in the lounge, AR15 suddenly jumped up!
Her hand was already gripping her imprint weapon.
"What did you talk about with her?"
Just as AR15 was feeling somewhat uncertain, Renault's voice suddenly came from the other sofa not far away.
"How come you're here!?"
Looking at Renault sitting not far away, AR15 was startled.
She clearly snuck out of the dormitory quietly; no one should have seen her coming to this lounge!
"This is my ship. Of course, I know where you went. Come on, tell me, how was the discussion with that little Sangvis Ferri doll?" Renault flicked off the cigarette ash and said.
"You! You even monitor the tactical dolls on your own ship!?" But upon hearing Renault's words, AR15's heart skipped a beat.
She immediately remembered the situation when she went to the waste disposal room because she ate too much!
Rolling his eyes at AR15, Renault was truly speechless.
What's going on in her head? Is she just filled with just childish thoughts?
"Your behavior coming out of the dormitory was seen by three Rippers, two Vespids, six Prowlers, and seventeen Strikers. Do you think I wouldn't know? And the previous contact with the Sangvis Ferri mainframe was also sent by me. Otherwise, how do you think her signal ended up in your head?"
Seeing is secondary; the main thing is that Sangvis Ferri Mainframe, which has been trying to forcibly connect to AR15's current communication protocol since she finished eating.
Renault didn't pay much attention at the time and just let that little devil's signals enter the ships' shields...
"I..." AR15 who originally wanted to conceal it looked at Renault's extremely calm expression, and then slowly said, "She just said she wants me to bring M4A1 to her..."
"M4A1?" Raising an eyebrow, Renault stubbed out the cigarette butt and waved his hand, "Okay, rest now. It's the first time I've seen a tactical doll who doesn't stay in the dormitory and comes to sleep on the sofa in the lounge."
"Wait! Do you know what's going on? Why does she want to find M4A1!?"
Concerned about M4A1's safety, AR15 also became anxious and immediately stood up to ask Renault.
"I'm not sure. You guys should go ask that Persica. If Lycoris is still alive, he might know why, but unfortunately, that guy is already cold."
As he spoke, Renault walked directly out of the lounge.
Seeing this, AR15 also picked up her bag and imprint weapon and followed behind Renault.
"Lycoris? Who is that? This name... sounds familiar..."
"Don't know? I thought Lycoris was pretty famous. I didn't expect even the Griffin tactical dolls wouldn't know his name."
Since they were fighting against Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing, they should at least understand the origins of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing, right?
And as the chief designer of Sangvis Ferri manufacturing, Lycoris was not an unknown figure.
He was comparable to Persica, but AR15 actually didn't even know Lycoris.
"Lycoris? Who is that?"
"It's the former chief designer of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing, the little guy you met in your dream just now was the current AI Mainframe of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing. It's Lycoris who personally created her."
"What! What!? Could it be that everything that's happening in Sangvis Ferri right now is caused by him!?"
"Uh... you could say that, more or less."
"More or less? What do you mean by more or less? Does it mean that once Lycoris is eliminated, everything can stop... wait! But didn't L... Lycoris die!?"
As she spoke, AR15 finally remembered who Lycoris was.
Isn't he the owner of the data collected by the third safehouse that Persica asked them to go to!?
