"After half a day of traveling, this is where the client ended up? Didn't we pass by here several times during the journey?"
Looking at the graveyard in front of her, Super-Shorty felt a bit helpless and a cold chill ran down the back of her neck.
"Why would the client come to a place like this?"
"Renault, didn't UMP45 say that the orphanage was inherited by the client from a distant relative?" HK416 thought of something and turned her head towards Renault to ask.
"That's what she said, but she didn't specify what all was included in that inheritance. We're almost there; the smell is getting stronger." Renault nodded, ignoring the cowering fellow among the purposeful concierge, and led the three dolls straight through the gate.
"It looks like quite a few people have been here recently. Since when did graveyards become so popular?" M500 frowned at the incredibly cluttered graveyard and the freshly dug burial pits not too far away.
"Are there any underground chambers here?"
Looking at those buildings that resembled houses in the middle of the graveyard, HK416 felt that this scene was familiar. It was almost like a reproduction of those game scenes G11 had played.
"There, those guys over there just came out from inside." Renault pointed at the group not far away who had just walked out from one of the chambers.
However, these guys seems to have suffered a bit inside, as they looked grimy.
"Eh, it's possible the client is still inside and hasn't come out, right?"
Didn't UMP45 say earlier that the client had hired a group of mercenaries? It seems like it should be these guys. These mercenaries are really capable, managing to break through Paradeus's blockade and run to this isolated place.
Thinking of this, HK416 suddenly froze. She felt that the appearance of these mercenaries was a bit abnormal.
"Let's go, we've wasted enough time. Hurry up and find the client and ask that bastard what exactly he wants to do."
Hearing Renault's words, HK416 nodded, casting a serious glance towards the mercenaries.
What if these mercenaries weren't hired by the client at all?
Although HK416 considered this possibility, M500 obviously didn't think much about these issues. Seeing the mercenaries heading in another direction, she waved to greet them.
"Hey! Are you guys from Giant Snake?"
HK416 and Renault didn't stop M500 because there was no need to. These mercenaries were irrelevant as long as they didn't hinder their search for the client named Tania.
But Super-Shorty noticed the disdainful gazes of both HK416 and Renault towards the mercenaries. Her heart suddenly thumped. She felt that M500's shout might lead to trouble.
The mercenaries turned towards the sound.
Seeing the gun-wielding but scantily dressed M500, they quickly deduced she was a doll. After all, no sane person would dress like that in winter unless they were unaffected by the cold.
The mercenaries looked at each other and quickly thought of the security contractor responsible for transporting goods mentioned by their boss.
Simply ridiculous... a security contractor turning into a transportation company?
"You are Renault?"
The mercenaries ignored the two dolls beside Renault and focused on him. There were four of them: the one who shouted, another holding a gun, a woman in body armor, and a man in a coat. The woman and the man were likely human, as no one would put bulletproof vests on dolls.
Six mercenaries had walked out from the crypt and were heading towards another path in the cemetery. Upon seeing Renault and his group, they stopped and eyed Renault with curiosity.
Their captain had been worried about this unknown security contractor. Unexpectedly, Renault showed up with two seemingly soft dolls by his side. The woman in the bulletproof vest looked tough, but they had six people on their side.
However, Renault and HK416 just glanced at the mercenaries and continued towards the chamber they had just exited. M500 and Super-Shorty quickly followed Renault's lead, ignoring the mercenaries.
Seeing Renault pass by them indifferently, the mercenaries first froze, then grew angry.
"Go! Catch this guy!"
Their captain was looking for Renault, and capturing him now seemed perfect.
Who cared how many T-dolls Renault had? Could there be more than Griffin's?
The six mercenaries rushed towards Renault, raising their guns to strike the back of his head. The dolls and the silver-haired woman could be dealt with later.
However, before they could react, the mercenary at the forefront had his jaw dislocated by a brutal kick. His teeth, both real and fake, scattered into the air.
HK416 turned back violently, slamming the butt of her gun into another mercenary's nose and smashing it.
The remaining four mercenaries barely had time to process what happened before HK416 disarmed them in quick succession, using both the gun butt and her boots.
