Chapter 202: Lack of Appetite, Eight out of Ten Times...

"What's this? Returning to basics? Surprisingly, these Dinergates are quite agile."

Except for places too high to reach, the Dinergates had better mobility than the prowler guards.

With their lightweight bodies and decent jumping power in their hind legs, they could propel themselves over a meter, not onto the wardrobe, but at least onto the table.

"Finally free! I've been going crazy confined to the mental space these days!"

Maria, now in the body of a Dinergate, immediately began frolicking in the room. It seemed merely moving freely in the mental space wasn't enough to satisfy her.

Joining her was UMP9, paralyzed along the way.

Perhaps it was having a companion, or maybe these two were naturally suited to the Dinergate body, but after being fitted into the Dinergate's shell, they immediately adapted.

One was an elite doll of Sangvis Ferri, and the other a tactical modified doll.

Now, their behavior patterns were almost indistinguishable from real Dinergates.

If it weren't for Renault installing voice modules in these Dinergates, ordinary people wouldn't be able to distinguish UMP9 and Maria from normal Dinergates.

As the repair pod emitted a light sound, HK416 was the first to walk out.

However, she was startled by the Dinergates on the ground.

"These are Sangvis Dinergates! Where did they come from? Why are there so many?"

As she exclaimed, HK416 picked up the semi-scrap weapon she had just placed on the workbench.

Unfortunately, the gun had no bullets, and the magazine was damaged. Besides using it as a comfort or as a stick for burning fires, it had no other use.

"Alright, put that thing down. Among these Dinergates are UMP45 and her companions. Over there, the ones running around crazily are Maria and UMP9, while these two over here are UMP40 and 45."

Renault picked up HK416's cap from the workbench and put it on her head.

The cleaned cap looked much cleaner than before, but the holes on it seemed even more obvious.

"What if my original body is damaged, will you also stuff me into there?"

Adjusting her cap, HK416 suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It depends. If there are no Dinergates, prowlers and Rippers are also possible. Anyway, they are all bodies. It doesn't matter which one is used. I also have other dolls who have used the shell of Dinergates, as well as others who have used the chassis or quadrupeds of prowlers."

"Eh..."

Upon hearing Renault's words, HK416 looked at her intact original body and couldn't help but feel fortunate that she didn't lose any limbs during her escape.

Otherwise, she might have been one of those Dinergates on the ground now.

While they were talking, the repair pod behind them opened again, and another silver-haired autonomous doll timidly walked out.

"What's your name?"

Seeing this autonomous doll coming out, Renault directly asked, figuring it wouldn't be right to keep calling her that, without even a nickname.

However, probably because Renault looked a bit fierce, the silver-haired autonomous doll just came out and directly hid behind HK416, cautiously showing half of her face to look at Renault.

"Do I look scary?"

Seeing the little one's frightened look, Renault frowned, subconsciously raised his hand to touch his chin.

He hadn't had time to shave in the past few days, and stubble had grown out.

"Not only scary can describe it, I have never seen anyone suddenly use a hand axe on the street without care in the world..."

HK416 rolled her eyes. Just as she was speaking, she felt the small hand holding onto her coat tighten, and the head also leaned towards her.

Obviously, Renault's behavior on the street had left this little one with a rather unpleasant psychological shadow.

"What did Commander Renault do on the street?"

UMP40, who was next to them, also listened to the conversation, and when HK416 stopped speaking, she whispered to UMP45 beside her.

"Ah, it's just... on the street..." UMP45 also lowered her voice and recounted what Renault had done in that city.

Hearing the cause and effect as told by UMP45, UMP40 instinctively wanted to nod, but found that she didn't have a neck now.

She could only control the camera of the Dinergate to blink a few times, indicating that she had understood.

"Hmm, it doesn't sound strange at all. Actually, just the day before yesterday..." UMP40 also, like UMP45, recounted the deeds of Renault in wiping out dozens of mercenaries in that city.

As the two of them whispered, Renault could only turn back to check the inventory of the neural core, which was quite abundant. After all, there was more than enough to replace the neural cores for HK416 and her group of four.

"Commander, it's almost time for dinner. Do you need me to bring it over?"

The knocking sound from G36 interrupted the actions of the group of Dinergates in the workshop.

Upon hearing the word "dinner," all the dolls involuntarily looked at Renault.

"No need, I'll go over now."

With that, Renault walked straight to the door. However, seeing Renault heading to the door, the only one who actively followed was Maria, a Dinergate.

The others, whether it was UMP45 and her group or HK416, who still retained their doll forms, all stood in place and watched him.

"Are we going? Why is everyone looking at me?"

It was truly strange. Not being enthusiastic about eating, perhaps there was a problem with their neural core.

"Yay! Let's go eat!"

UMP9 was the first to react and ran out with G36, who left first, followed by Maria.

"But Commander Renault... it seems like we can't eat right now..."

UMP40 looked at UMP45 beside her, not sure if she should stand up and follow.

"Just find someone to share the taste with you. What about you? Why aren't you moving?" Waving his hand, Renault looked at HK416, who still hadn't lifted her foot.

"I just need to recharge."

Seeing Renault's gaze on her, HK416 paused for a moment, then turned her head.

Renault immediately gave her a glare and pointed to the small autonomous doll who had been hiding behind her the whole time.

Reminded, HK416 remembered the little one locked behind her, her face suddenly flushing.

"Go! I'll go!"

HK416 stomped her foot angrily and dragged the little one behind her to follow UMP45's group.

When the group of people and Dinergates arrived at the dining hall, Jaeger and Vector, who had been prowlerling outside, had already returned.

Jaeger, who already had two Dinergates with her, lit up when she saw the group of Dinergates behind G36 and hurriedly ran over.

With a hug, she directly took all four Dinergates into her arms, and even used her cheeks to rub against them.

"Waa! Let me go!"

UMP9 and Maria struggled in vain, while UMP40 and 45 looked somewhat bewildered at Jaeger, not realizing what was happening.
