Bang! Bang! Crack!
Five roadblockers couldn't hold out for even five seconds against three tactical dolls. AK12, along with G11 and M1919A4, swiftly defeated them.
As for AN94?
She was perhaps the only one genuinely hindered by the smoke momentarily, pausing slightly after entering it.
Unfortunately, that momentary pause made her a mere bystander. Within just a few seconds, she couldn't even locate the roadblockers stumbling around in the smoke before AK12 and the others emerged, either carrying or dragging several individuals with them.
However, as AK12 carried two unconscious individuals out, she also noticed the "achievements" of G11 and M1919A4 beside her.
At that moment, she couldn't help but gasp in shock!
The two individuals in G11's hands seemed alright, with just a bit of blood on their foreheads, but at least they didn't look too gruesome.
As for the person in M1919A4's hands... oh boy, both arms were twisted in the opposite direction! And one leg was bent unnaturally forward. If it weren't for the protection of their clothing, this person's limbs might have been severed!
Slap!
Renault sighed inwardly and tapped his forehead.
He knew M1919A4 would reveal her strength as soon as she acted. While it might seem like she only broke their limbs, who knew what other damage she had caused.
Whether this person would even wake up was now a question.
As for G11's side, although it didn't look as gruesome as what happened with M1919A4, it wasn't any better... these were living people, not zombies! Can't you aim for something other than their heads?
The two individuals in her hands had blood splattered all over their faces, and who knew what G11 had used to hit these poor souls.
"Forget it, just bring over the two guys AK12 has. Let's leave the other three by the roadside; someone will take care of them."
G11 and M1919A4 glanced at each other, then simultaneously let go of the individuals in their hands, feeling somewhat embarrassed as they scratched their heads.
Their commander had already reminded them to be careful with their strength, but they still ended up being too forceful.
After discarding the three individuals who probably had no chance of survival, AK12 brought over the two she had knocked unconscious.
Seeing the two individuals, Renault directly lifted his foot and tapped one of them, saying, "Stop pretending. Do you know Larry? He seems to be quite famous around here."
Huh?! Awake already?! How could he wake up so quickly?!
Upon hearing Renault's words, AK12 immediately opened her eyes and looked at the individual lying on the ground.
But just as AK12 lowered her head...
Zzt!
A strong electromagnetic interference burst forth from the person on the ground, causing AK12's vision to be filled with snow-like interference.
"Hehe! Got careless, didn't you? Haha! Hiss! Spit! You rely on doll bodies!" The person lying on the ground struggled to speak, glancing back at the motionless dolls standing nearby.
These dolls didn't move, their eyes fixed on him, seemingly immobile.
However, G11 and M1919A4 looked puzzled; they didn't understand what was happening. How did this guy suddenly stand up with such confidence?
Meanwhile, AK12 and AN94 were contemplating how to subdue him, but they didn't act recklessly because the man not only had the electromagnetic interference device but also had a handgun aimed at Renault's head.
"Haha! Didn't expect this, did you? I installed an awakening device in my spine! As long as someone knocks me out, I'll immediately wake up!" The roadblocker who struggled to get up from the ground laughed and shouted at Renault.
Without even looking back at AK12 and the others to see their intentions, it seemed that in his eyes, once he activated the electromagnetic interference device, no doll could maintain consciousness in such high-intensity electromagnetic interference.
And indeed, it seemed to be the case. The service doll lying motionless on the street, unable to move, was already emitting smoke.
But this level of interference couldn't affect his own creation, and as for AK12 and AN94, they were specially designed by Statesec; how could they not withstand such childish attacks?
Although there was some interference, it wasn't enough to stop them from acting.
"Quick! Hand over all the money you have, and then redirect the permissions of these dolls to me!"
With a sway of his handgun, the man, who could be either a robber or a doll trafficker, shouted.
Slap!
Before he could finish his sentence, a slap landed on his face, and at the same time, the handgun in his hand somehow ended up in Renault's hand.
And that wasn't all; Renault, holding the handgun, reached out and snatched the interference device from the man's hand, crushing it into pieces and throwing it on the ground.
"Hurry up and tell me Larry's exact address, or else I'll send you to meet those three unlucky guys."
The robber, who had just been slapped and had his weapon and interference device taken away in an instant, covered his cheek and looked at Renault with confusion, not quite grasping what had just happened.
But with Renault's words, he also turned to look at the three accomplices who had just been knocked down by them.
Those three... were now breathing heavily, and they probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes before they breathed their last. Seeing this scene, the robber's legs went weak, and any impulse or bravado he had before vanished instantly.
The specific address of Larry was easily revealed by the robber; after all, he was a well-known broker in the area, so while it might not be his home address, his "office location" wouldn't be a problem.
"It's right here; it's not difficult at all. Your dumb commander is just overthinking things." Looking at the door within reach, Renault said as he kicked open the door.
Boom!
Under Renault's foot, the wooden door collapsed completely, and Renault stepped into the room, seeming unafraid of any potential attackers inside.
In reality, there was no one in the room; Renault had already sensed it. There were only some electronic devices inside; no living beings.
"Uh, it seems we've come up empty-handed." AK12 looked at the empty room and couldn't help but speak to Renault.
But Renault didn't reply; instead, he directly picked up the laptop on the table in the room. Although it was an outdated notebook, it had become an excellent choice for hiding various information because few people knew how to use these old computers anymore.
Watching Renault and the two doll accounts rummage through the room, AK12 couldn't help but think, 'Is this what they call thieves not leaving empty-handed?'
