NOVEL NEXT Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Growing Timidity
"All command authority of the SF units now belongs to the Mainframe created by Lycoris. You Griffin took out Lycoris, so naturally, there are no restrictions on that AI Mainframe. Of course, she's going to do whatever she wants."
"We? How could Lycoris be killed by Griffin..." Renault's words sounded like thunder to AR15, but she instinctively wanted to refute.
But as soon as the words came out, she immediately stopped herself.
After all, the direction of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing's attacks had always been aimed at the area where Griffin was located, and there had been no Sangvis Ferri intrusion in other directions.
"Whether it was Griffin, Statesec, or the Military that actually took action, it's impossible to know now. Anyway, when Lycoris died, all three were involved. Go ask M16 about this matter. Oh, wait, she already had her memories of that time erased."
As someone who participated throughout the Operation Butterfly, M16 would definitely be informed about the entire process.
Unfortunately, she was knocked out afterward, or else Griffin and 16lab's Persica wouldn't be desperately searching for the reason behind Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing's rampage like fools.
As for UMP40 and UMP45 on Renault's side, they also knew the whole process of the operation.
Like M16, however, knowing the process didn't serve much purpose.
Even if they spoke out, no one would believe them. Moreover, as the commanding officers with higher-level permissions over UMP40, they had been completely invisible until now.
Investigating this kind of thing should be left to the tireless Angelia.
Hearing this, AR15 suddenly felt a sense of doubting about life.
The truth behind the matter that Persica had been tirelessly investigating was now revealed by Renault in just a few words.
Did they go astray in their previous direction of investigation?
...
"These are the materials you ordered. You can check them." Helian handed the tablet to Renault while speaking, gesturing for him to have someone inspect them.
"Well, there's no need to check. As long as these boxes aren't filled with rocks, the quantity should be roughly correct."
As long as the goods in these boxes weren't replaced with stones, the quantity shouldn't be too far off. Renault glanced at them and got a rough idea.
With that, Renault waved towards the cargo hold door, signaling the Dolls waiting there to come out and move the goods.
Seeing Renault's gesture, a group of Rippers and Vespids who had been waiting at the door rushed out from the cargo hold.
However, before they could approach the goods, several Griffin tactical doll who came out with Helian nervously aimed their guns at the Rippers and Vespids, staring at them in disbelief.
They had already raised their guns and were ready to shoot, but the identification signals emitted by the Rippers and Vespids made them stop their movements.
However, the actions of these Griffin tactical doll scared the Rippers and Vespids who now had no weapons and weren't allowed to retaliate according to Renault's instructions.
The frightened bunch immediately turned and ran, disappearing into the cargo hold and hiding in the depths.
Seeing this, Renault's hand which was reaching for a cigarette froze.
He hadn't expected... when did these Rippers at home become so timid?
"There's... quite a few Sangvis Ferri here..." Seeing these Rippers, Helian also froze.
She hadn't expected Renault not only to shelter several Sangvis Ferri Ringleaders but also to collect so many ordinary Sangvis Ferri dolls.
Did this man have a collection fetish?
"It's not that many. I just brought all the Rippers from the previous Sangvis Ferri factory over my factory. It's a waste to leave these guys there. It's better to let them come with me and help out over here." Renault said, looking at the Griffin tactical doll beside Helian.
"Alright, let your tactical doll step back a bit. I don't know what rumors these guys must've heard, they're too scared now." Renault sighed helplessly and said to Helian.
Aren't you afraid these Sangvis Ferri will suddenly go berserk and attack you?
Helian thought to herself.
"It's okay, nothing will happen."
Since Renault could stand here and smoke confidently, he could definitely ensure that these Sangvis Ferri doll wouldn't have any problems. Helian still had great confidence in Renault.
Seeing the Griffin doll step back, Renault waved again at the Rippers. But these dolls just stood there, holding their hands, shaking their heads, afraid of being sniped by the Griffin doll from afar.
Seeing this, Renault rolled his eyes directly.
Whose annoying habit was this? He had to give her a good beating when he got back!
"Go on, if you're scared, go find M1 Garand and get a set of protective clothing. Can they still harm you?"
Hearing this, the Rippers looked at each other and nodded, feeling that this was good news. They immediately walked briskly to find M1 Garand.
When they came out again, these Sangvis Ferri Dolls were each wearing a set of heavy protective clothing. It appears that all the inventory at home had been taken out and worn by these guys.
With this protection, these Rippers cautiously walked out of the cargo hold and began to move the goods toward the cargo hold.
Seeing these Rippers wearing heavy protective clothing, the Griffin dolls were not as sensitive as before.
After all, wearing heavy protective clothing, Sangvis Ferri's appearance recognition was not triggered at all, and with the identification codes, at least they wouldn't instinctively raise their weapons.
However, relying on these Rippers' manual handling speed was still a bit too slow. Scarecrow in casual clothes directly drove a forklift out of the warehouse and helped with the handling over here.
Seeing this diligent Scarecrow, Renault nodded with satisfaction.
It appears that there were still diligent people at home. Bringing this Scarecrow back then was really a profit.
Of course, the other doll at home were not idle.
For example, M1 Garand and others hadn't stopped working. They were now receiving and counting the goods brought over by the Rippers.
And next, they would also be responsible for the production of ammunition, certainly not idling.
Seeing these busy Rippers and Scarecrow that Renault had taken back, Helian pursed her lips and asked Renault, "About AR15 who escaped on her own before... Have you seen her whereabouts?"
