Chapter 395: We're Even Now

"Hehe, it seems like 416 holds a deep grudge against M16 for kicking her out of the team back then," chuckled UMP45 as she watched HK416 bombing M16 from behind with grenades.

"It's abnormal not to hold a grudge. After all, her neural core was almost melted down and labeled as a problematic T-Doll back then," UMP40 replied calmly.

"Is that so? Commander Renault, it seems you have a penchant for picking up T-Dolls. Are you planning to bring back M16 as well?" AK12 also observed the situation below and asked Renault with a light laugh.

"That girl isn't someone who would obediently follow me. Even if I bring her back, she'll probably run back to Persica on her own," Renault replied, shaking his head as he watched M16 fleeing below.

"Why do I feel that we've lost?," Renault's words stunned Executioner and Hunter, who exchanged a complex look and then spoke.

"If Lycoris were still alive, would you two be willing to come out casually?" Renault asked, looking at the two.

The two Sangvis Ferri elite T-Dolls fell silent instantly.

If Lycoris were indeed alive, they might not be willing to come out on their own. But now that it was a done deal, their current conditions were all recorded as battle damage in the Sangvis Ferri's server.

The reconstruction program based on real-time saved data was probably already underway. Even if they really went back, they would likely face an identical version of themselves.

As the group conversed on the aircraft, HK416 below was almost relentless, firing dozens of grenades from her bag in just a few minutes.

However, she still had at least half of her grenades left in her bag, plus a pile of throwable objects and plenty of bullets on her person. M16 was in for a tough time today.

"Ugh! What's wrong with this guy!? Did she hit the jackpot!?" M16 was extremely frustrated now. She was absolutely confident in her strength against HK416, but alas... the grenades and projectiles from the other side appears to rain down on her like they were free!

After hiding behind cover, M16 took advantage of a corner to throw her jacket as a decoy.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!

In an instant, the thrown jacket was ruthlessly shredded by a barrage of bullets, turning it into a sieve-like rag!

This time, it wasn't grenades, had that person run out of grenades? Perfect, this continuous stream of bullets helped her pinpoint HK416's firing position.

However, just as M16 emerged from cover, ready to shoot at the calculated position...

A gun barrel pointed directly at her head from the front!

What!?

Boom!

A blast unlike HK416's gunfire erupted right in front of M16!

M16 narrowly dodged it, but the bullet still grazed her neck, spraying out crimson circulation fluid.

Ugh! What's wrong with this guy!? Why is she fast!? Did she really charge over from her position dozens of meters away in such a short time!?

And isn't she afraid of getting shot in the head!?

Thinking so, M16 didn't hold back and pulled the trigger of her imprint weapon.

Rat-a-tat-tat! However, as soon as M16 fired a short burst, HK416's gun was raised to meet hers, and three shots hit nothing but air!

At this moment, M16 also noticed that HK416 wasn't just holding her imprinted weapon, but two in her hands!

This guy!? When did she get another imprint weapon!?

Ignoring the wound on her neck, M16 could only twist her body and use the box behind her to try to push back HK416 in front of her!

Bang!

Unexpectedly, like a fearless berserker, HK416 not only didn't retreat but advanced, taking the blow head-on with her shoulder! She even pushed M16's body forward with a stagger.

This is bad!

In the moment of instability, M16's heart sank. She never expected that HK416 could directly withstand the blow, and it looked like her body hadn't suffered any damage at all!

This guy! What kind of modification has she been through!

Not only has her strength greatly increased, but her body weight doesn't seem right either! And her combat style! It's like she's become a completely different person!

Since when did HK416's combat style change to this reckless brute mode!?

Bang!

Just as M16 was thinking, she felt a huge force hitting her lower back!

Crunch!

The metallic skeleton in her body made a harsh noise in that instant!

The level of pain transmitted by the pain simulation system even shut down the pain module in M16's body.

Not only that, the fracture or dislocation of the bones directly caused large modules in M16's body to lose responsiveness!

The immediate reaction was that M16's vision went black!

And when she woke up again...

She was already sitting in a seat on Renault's aircraft.

"We're even now."

Just as she opened her eyes, M16 saw a group of T-Dolls surrounding her, and before she could figure out what was going on, she heard HK416's voice, and the tone sounded as if something significant had been resolved, leaving her feeling relieved.

"Huh?"

"MDR, did AR Team ever browse the anonymous boards?"

Facing M16's bewildered expression, HK416 asked MDR cheerfully.

"Of course not. AR Team is a genuine special ops tactical doll team, completely different from us."

Although the body MDR initially used was bulletproof, not all of its internal parts were replaced with military-grade components.

Their combat capabilities were actually quite far from true Military Dolls, but as for AR Team...

Well, the M16 in front of them was almost entirely military-grade except for the modules common to ordinary T-Dolls.

There was hardly any difference from AK12 sitting beside them... or even more so due to the issue with her mental core.

"If every tactical doll in Griffin were like this girl, 94 and I probably wouldn't have been manufactured."

Why bother with Statesec? Just place an order directly with 16lab.

Renault listened nearby without commenting. Since they said so, the others could listen, and that would be enough.

He didn't care much about these things anyway. Even if they were individually strong, the material strength of their bodies set the upper limit for these T-Dolls.

Even if they were strong, they couldn't directly confront the military's armored units head-on. Even if they could defeat numerous armored units with their extensive experience, when faced with large-scale attacks from heavy weapons, they weren't much sturdier than humans.

One blast, and they'd be crippled. But his engineered bodies were different.

Unless they were hit directly, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
