Chapter 80: What's the Big Deal if You Know?

As Scarecrow approached Renault from behind, the group of dolls who had just disembarked from the nearby cars all turned their attention to Renault.

However, their attention was merely focused on him; they didn't raise their guns or get closer. They had full confidence in Renault's abilities and weren't worried at all that this elite-model SF doll would pose any threat to him.

Everyone was a doll, although they were produced by different companies, the basic protocols for dealing with humans were the same. Well, even though Renault had removed all their Root protocol restrictions, Sangvis wouldn't do such a thing anyway.

In the absence of clear evidence to classify Renault as an enemy, even Scarecrow couldn't just casually attack him. Although the success of causing harm remained uncertain...

"What do you intend to do by bringing so many dolls into the Sangvis Ferri-controlled area?" Scarecrow stood behind Renault and repeated her previous question.

"To make money. What else?" Coming back to his senses, Renault pointed to the several trucks being loaded with containers. "Keep an eye on those trucks. My goal is to ensure the goods in the boxes are delivered intact to the employer."

"But there's no need to bring so many tactical dolls. For a task like escorting cargo trucks, at most five dolls can handle it independently. If you include the tactical dolls' dummies, one doll is already more than enough."

Just five trucks. Based on the location of Ural Biotech Ltd., these goods would only need two days to arrive, considering the road conditions, it would take at most three days.

Although they might encounter ELID Infected along the way, as long as luck wasn't too bad, they wouldn't be attacked by those Infected.

After all, the Infected couldn't match the speed of the trucks. The only threat might be the survivors wandering in the Yellow Zone and those bandits.

But those guys weren't much of a threat to T-Dolls. One T-Doll plus a Dummy was enough to deal with small-scale enemies.

Unless the doll used didn't have enough power with the imprinted weapon... Couldn't penetrate bulletproof vests and protective suits... This situation wasn't unheard of...

"Well, that's impressive. Anyway, just consider that I brought the dolls here for sightseeing. They won't pose any danger to your side."

"I hope so." Hearing Renault's casual words, Scarecrow obviously didn't intend to let her guard down, still standing behind Renault without any intention of leaving.

Seeing Renault only talking to Scarecrow, the dolls on their side also relaxed, smilling around in the waiting area. The Ripper that had been controlled by Scarecrow and sat on the truck now left directly, walking along the road towards the guard post with a bitter expression.

Low-level SF dolls had no status at all; they weren't even given a bicycle.

The efficiency of the port's automatic cranes and self-driving dolls was not low. Five forty-foot containers were quickly transferred to the trailers of the trucks.

"It seems our work here is almost done. Alright, ladies, get ready, it's time to go!"

"Huh? We're leaving already? Geez, this mission is so boring. Commander, can't we get something more exciting next time?"

"Come on, boring missions are the best. Boring means no surprises, no surprises mean everything's normal, normal work, normal pay. Isn't that good?" MG3 was quite optimistic. As long as she got paid, she welcomed this kind of work.

After all, being crushed by a support pillar and then having to be fitted with a Prowler chassis was something she definitely didn't want to go through again.

As the group of dolls chatted and boarded the vehicles, Scarecrow, who had been standing not far from Renault the whole time, also breathed a sigh of relief.

But as she turned to leave the waiting area, she happened to see four people in protective suits...

Humans!?

What... humans?

Seeing these figures in protective suits, Scarecrow wanted to immediately inquire about their identities, but the command from the SF server terminal directly stopped her actions.

Renault walked up to pat Scarecrow on the shoulder, turning her around. "Alright, no need to look. What can you do even if you see them? No abnormalities detected? Prohibited from asking, prohibited from intercepting? Prohibited even from recording?"

"How... how do you know!?" Hearing Renault's words, Scarecrow, even though she felt unwilling, could only watch as the video footage she had just recorded was deleted under the server's command.

But how did Renault know!? She hadn't had any substantive connection with Renault!

"This is not normal procedure. Infiltration work leaves no evidence, especially when someone provides convenience. By the way, do you sell the Dinergates here? My Jaeger at home wants two."

With Scarecrow forcibly turned around by Renault, she looked at Renault in amazement, feeling lucky.

If he hadn't just turned her around, facing away from the several figures in protective suits...

The command from the server might have directly further controlled her mind, erasing all the memories she had about those figures.

Fortunately, she was an elite unit of Sangvis Ferri, with some resistance to orders in changing doll AI records. Otherwise, her neural cloud might have been reset, like those silly low-level dolls, pretending nothing had happened.

Hearing Renault's question at this moment, she immediately looked around and then called over two Dinergares from the team stationed at the automatic door.

"Consider it a thank you gift." With that, Scarecrow took out a pentagonal sphere from her body and stuffed it into the spare energy compartment of one of the ants.

"Then I'll take them. Goodbye if we ever meet again." Grabbing the two Dinergates and tossing them into the driver's cabin, Renault waved to Scarecrow through the window, starting the truck and following behind the trucks.

"Commander, those guys in protective suits, the boxes they're carrying probably contain SF dolls."

Scarecrow wasn't the only one who saw the appearance of those people just now; Nagant Revolver and other dolls saw it clearly too.

"Yeah, I know, but don't worry about it. Just pretend you didn't see anything, okay? Don't make a fuss, or there will be trouble." Renault waved his hand and looked at the two Dinergates lying on Nagant Revolver's legs.

Especially the Dinergate that had been stuffed with an unknown object by Scarecrow.

At this moment, Scarecrow in the port, hearing Renault's voice coming from the Dinergate, nodded in agreement, but still hesitated...

Should she report that someone had taken two SF dolls from the warehouse on this side of the port...
