Chapter 278: The Abacus Couldn't Be Clicked

This time, don't even think about emptying my wallet. You'd better go think about, Gentiane's.

Watching Kalina lead a few people towards the entrance of the Griffin base with her head down and face flushed, Renault surveyed the camp.

The equipment in this rundown camp looked all scrapped and abandoned. It seemed to have been here for quite some time. One truck's cabin even had small saplings growing inside...

And there didn't seem to be anything valuable around. Plus, Kalina had stopped walking, indicating they had arrived. But the stopping point was right in front of the small shed where they had just landed.

Renault glanced at the dilapidated shed, caught sight of the obvious crack in the floor inside, and immediately realized Griffin had money.

They had placed the base of the jurisdiction underground and used this abandoned camp as a cover. There was no hint from above ground of what lay beneath.

Click! Click!

MDR eagerly took photos of the Griffin base as they walked, much to the discomfort of Kalina, who was leading the way.

Bringing Renault and the others in without orders from above was already questionable, and now if this T-Doll took the photos out... Would her pay get docked?

"Um... could you please refrain from spreading the photos of this place?" Kalina forced a smile, walking and asking MDR and Renault.

"Spread them? Oh, don't worry, I'll just post these photos anonymously on the Griffin board. No need to worry about outsiders knowing." Hearing Kalina's concern, MDR waved her hand nonchalantly.

But Kalina, after hearing MDR's response, clearly misunderstood something.

Her eyes sparkled with interest, looking at Gentiane.

In her understanding, Griffin wouldn't initially provide new commanders with high-level tactical dolls. Yet MDR, whom she hadn't seen much, was obviously an advanced elite doll.

And to bring such a doll along right after taking office meant one of two things: either the commander who brought her was rich and didn't care about spending money, or Griffin valued Gentiane greatly, providing her with the best treatment. In that case, her salary would obviously be high! Equally rich!

In any case, very rich!

Seeing Kalina's eyes practically turning into currency symbols, Gentiane stepped back, feeling embarrassed, and nervously asked, "What? What's wrong?"

"Nothing! Nothing at all! Commander Gentiane, I didn't expect you to have so many dolls just after taking office. You know, other commanders usually only have two or three tactical dolls when they start." As she spoke, Kalina glanced at MDR and SPAS-12. They were all advanced elite dolls, even including a shotgun-type doll, a category not found in large numbers even in Griffin headquarters.

"Uh, you misunderstood. I only have PPSH-41 II, FN-49, and MG3. The others... MDR and the rest belong to Commander Renault." Gentiane quickly explained, waving her hand.

Huh...

Hearing this, Kalina's expression froze.

Well, she had indeed jumped to conclusions. Griffin was Griffin after all, and they wouldn't give any commander a chance to exploit loopholes.

But... Commander Renault? This person was called Renault? And he's a commander too? But Griffin's personnel information system didn't have any commander named Renault in it?

When they just entered the base, Kalina had confirmed that Renault was definitely not Griffin's tactical commander.

Instead, those dolls, all had identification signals from Griffin...

"Well, then, Commander Renault, what exactly do you need?" Speaking, Kalina had already brought everyone to the door of the Griffin base's command room. If she couldn't confirm Renault's background and intentions, she would have to ask Renault to leave.

After all, this was the jurisdiction base of Griffin, and the equipment and information in the command room were very important. They couldn't let outsiders just come in and see!

Hearing Kalina's words, Gentiane also felt a bit awkward. Although she had gone through orientation training, she wasn't sure if she had the authority to bring outsiders into the base command room.

"Um, of course, I just want to inquire about the resource situation in these nearby towns. Compared to the vague information held by Helian, the jurisdiction base here must have more detailed information."

"This... even if Griffin does have information, it can't just be... "

"Don't rush to refuse. This is what Helian promised. If you have any doubts, you can contact her. And there will be compensation. We have a helicopter, so if you need anything, we can bring it over on the way."

Hearing Renault's words, Kalina's eyes widened.

Can it be like this!?

Although the nearby towns and cities no longer have human residents, this is still Griffin's jurisdiction.

What Renault did here, isn't it just robbery which is no different from bandits!?

"Don't be surprised. I heard that the people in this area have long been evacuated. What I'm doing here is recycling resources. Anyway, when those guys dare to come back, those things lying around collecting dust probably won't be usable anymore." Renault waved his hand, but his eyes looked towards the other end of the corridor.

At the corner over there, a few heads were peeking out, gazing over here, or rather, gazing at the T-Dolls next to Renault.

"Are those dolls also from this base?" Following Renault's gaze, Gentiane was also surprised to see the dolls hiding in the distance. She had thought Kalina was the only one here, but unexpectedly, there were three more dolls.

"Oh, yes, after all, this is the base of the S09 jurisdiction. If it were just me, I wouldn't be able to handle it all. They are the dolls assigned here to help. Of course, from now on, they will be at your disposal, Commander!" As she spoke, Kalina waved at the three dolls.
