Chapter 213: Minor Tasks

"Open fire at will. Take out any threats you encounter. It's up to you to decide. Just ensure that the mech we need for the mission isn't destroyed before we retrieve what we came for,"

Renault instructed as he watched the city drawing closer, turning to the T-Dolls in the cockpit.

The task commissioned by Angelia suited Renault's preferences. As long as they obtained the item, whether by force or stealth, it didn't matter.

However, it was unbelievable that these ordinary gang members could get their hands on a mech. There was no trace of such a thing in the black market, let alone a complete one. Not even a single finger could be bought.

The location of this mission happened to be the city where Scarecrow had originally told them they could purchase supplies. Renault never imagined that Scarecrow would deceive them, and it was likely that the gang mentioned by Angelia just happened to be in this location.

However, there were no barricades surrounding this city, and there were no anti-aircraft weapons within the city.

Angelia's intelligence this time was accurate.

Even if the gang members had individual anti-air missiles, who would be free to stare at the sky in the middle of the night? And what would hearing a helicopter sound signify?

Helicopters were often used by wealthy individuals for transportation, so hearing one in this city didn't mean much for the citizens in it.

Therefore, when Simonov flew the helicopter directly towards the warehouse of the gang's headquarters, none of the idle gang members realized what was happening.

"Commander, I'll be back in ten minutes," Simonov said, opening the rear cabin door of the helicopter and giving Renault a thumbs-up.

"Alright, I'll contact you in case of any unexpected situations. Take care," Renault replied, waving to the Dolls in the cockpit, indicating for them to jump down directly.

The T-Dolls who received Renault's instructions immediately jumped out of the rear cabin door without hesitation!

Renault also gestured to UMP40 beside him.

"Um, Commander, don't we have parachutes or something?" UMP40, not far below on the warehouse roof, asked with concern.

"No, why would we need parachutes for just over twenty meters high? Hurry up and jump. Don't cause trouble for Simonov."

The helicopter wasn't completely in a hover at the moment.

Seeing that he and a few Dolls were about to be separated from the warehouse beneath their feet, Renault grabbed UMP40 and smashed through the roof of the warehouse!

It was too dangerous for the helicopter to stay above the gang's headquarters, a still target is a still target after all, so Renault naturally wouldn't let Simonov wait in the air.

As soon as they jumped down, Simonov would immediately leave this airspace. At the very least, she needed to ensure that they wouldn't be hit by something like an RPG, even though the chance rate was extremely low, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Without the helicopter, was he supposed to repair a car on the spot and then spend several hours driving back home?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The six T-Dolls who had jumped down earlier landed in pairs, crashing onto the ground in three waves.

The loud impact sounds and the sudden appearance of these black powered exoskeleton units under their noses startled the nearby gang members, immediately alerting them!

Each of them grabbed their weapons, rushing towards the six powered exoskeletons as if they were fearless of death.

Although the appearance of the powered exoskeletons was somewhat strange, it was not uncommon for oddly shaped powered armor units to appear among various underground gangs. It was normal for one or two models to be different from the standard types.

But these things weren't anything to be afraid of!

They could be pierced through with armor-piercing rounds! Or just blow them up with RPGs! They had dealt with these tin cans before!

Rat-a-tat-tat!

The sound of gunfire rang out from the weapons in the hands of the gang members.

At first, the dolls in powered exoskeletons hesitated, but after the gang members attacked first, they showed no mercy and immediately pulled the triggers on the weapons mounted on their powered exoskeletons.

Renault and UMP40, at this moment, successfully smashed through the roof of the warehouse! They crashed into a black and white mech inside the warehouse!

Boom!

Because UMP40 was carrying electronic warfare equipment, Renault didn't let her free fall. Instead, he lifted her up, and after landing, Renault shook his arms and jumped down holding her... with a little burden.

Seeing Renault tossing UMP40, she rolled her eyes, but the tension from just now immediately dissipated. Turning around and looking at the huge figure in the warehouse, standing at over four meters tall, she said, "Commander, this should be the mission target."

"Yes, these guys really managed to get their hands on something extraordinary. Fortunately, this thing didn't start up just now."

The black and white mech was clearly in the process of being repainted. These gang members seemed to want to completely cover up the mech's original white body, but what could just repainting achieve?

Even the most deceitful deception wouldn't be this self-deceiving. Just the 12-tube missile launcher on its shoulder was not something ordinary, let alone the weapon mounted on the mech's right arm, which was clearly not an old-fashioned cannon but a full-fledged particle weapon.

However, Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing did not produce such large mechs, and particle weapons were only installed on autonomous units for technical verification.

As for large-scale particle weapons, they certainly existed, but those things were mostly directly supplied to the military, and under normal circumstances, it was impossible to buy them, not even in the so-called black market where everything could supposedly be bought.

It could be seen how tightly those military folks were guarding those things. However, these gang members in front of them, who seemed to be nothing more than a bunch of misfits, actually managed to get their hands on a mech from somewhere.

Moreover, it was intact, with no signs of disassembly on any external weapons and equipment.

As Renault spoke, he pointed to a figure that had run out of a nearby room and had immediately started climbing towards the cockpit of the mech.

Whether he was confident or simply oblivious to Renault and UMP40, the guy completely ignored their presence and focused on climbing into the cockpit.

Unfortunately, his weight was a bit too much, and after struggling for a few dozen seconds, he only managed to climb from the mech's feet to its waist. It would take some arm strength to get into the cockpit completely.

However, those few seconds were enough for people like Renault, who stepped forward and grabbed the guy's waist belt from his protective suit, pulling him down from the climbing ladder and causing him to fall heavily to the ground!

"Ah!? Who are you people!?"

"Are the communications on other channels blocked here?" Renault ignored the guy and instead looked at UMP40.

He had brought her along this time and had even removed the electronic warfare equipment from UMP45 for her to wear. Wasn't it for situations like this now?
