Although she was beaten by those mercenaries to the point of no longer looking human, Tania did not lose consciousness. On the contrary, the continuous beating had made Tania as alert as a bird of prey.
Thus, when Renault held out his coat towards her, Tania looked at him warily. If he was like those mercenaries who wanted to learn about her aunt's heritage from her, she would rather die than reveal anything.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw the hesitant and disgusted expression on Renault's face. Then, when Renault folded the coat and stuffed it into Super-Shorty's hands, it was enough to make Tania want to spit blood in his face!
What do you mean? I haven't even passed out yet! You asshole! It's just a little blood! Do you dislike your client that much?
Ugh cough!
A breath was stuck in her chest. Tania was so angry that she coughed, then rolled her eyes and fainted from anger.
"Eh... this..." M500 was startled when she suddenly fainted. But then she associated it with Renault's actions.
Should she say something now? Or should she pretend not to see anything...?
While M500 hesitated, Renault, who had given his coat to Super-Shorty, picked up two assault rifles from the fallen mercenaries and slung them over his shoulders. He even took one mercenary's tactical sling and put it on without hesitation.
"Eh, Commander, if you're afraid of getting your coat dirty, aren't you afraid of getting your shirt dirty? This white shirt doesn't look nearly as resistant to dirt as the coat." Super-Shorty looked at the coat in her hands and then at the white shirt Renault was wearing. It clearly was less resistant to dirt than the brown coat.
"Oh, this does not matter. P90 sent over a large box. The cotton planted a while ago has been processed and a machine made a large pile of shirts. She said I should try them on, and if they're good, we could sell them later."
Uh... who's going to buy this...? This kind of shirt isn't sold anywhere...
Although it looked good on Renault, it was still just a plain shirt. At a glance, it was like cheap goods. Even if it was sold on the street for twenty, no one would buy it, right?
Hearing this, Super-Shorty nodded.
Although they weren't afraid of getting dirty, there was no need to carry so many weapons and ammunition, right?
They only brought Tania as their client. After going out, would they have to continue to fight...?
Super-Shorty's thoughts froze.
Just before they came in, Renault not only opened fire but also threw a grenade at those people outside...
It was a big commotion, if those mercenaries really had backup, they might have already arrived at the entrance of the cemetery by now.
So, how did Commander Renault know that enemies were already rushing over?
The life detection module on her body had not responded until now. Although the signal was slightly blocked when underground, within a radius of forty meters, apart from Renault and Tania, there was no sign of any living thing at all.
Was it possible that their Commander's perception range or hearing range far exceeded the detection distance of the Life Detection Module?
"You guys walk slowly at the back. I'll go to the front to check out the situation first." Renault said, taking a step towards the exit.
In fact, underneath this cemetery, there wasn't just the crypt of Tania's aunt; there was also a large space.
Reynolds had already noticed when he entered this area that the entrance was at the entrance of a few other burial chambers.
Those mercenaries had walked out of the burial chambers. 80% of them were heading that way.
There was no doubt that this was the stronghold of these mercenaries and Paradeus.
Otherwise, why would there be a smell of rice in this graveyard? It couldn't be for cooking for the dead, could it? The quantity would be too much.
Renault's guess wasn't far off. As he walked out from the entrance of the crypt with his weapon, a group of people had already surrounded the entire cemetery.
The mercenaries among them numbered six or seven, about the same as those who had just walked out from the crypt. But the other group was more numerous.
Roughly estimated, there were thirty or forty of them, and most of them used black robes to cover themselves, making it impossible to see what they looked like underneath.
However, this concealment was useless for Renault. He could clearly perceive that these people under the robes had all been transformed into a half-human, half-machine state.
The mechanical part was even more significant. Some people's throats could still make slight hissing sounds, and the rest had no body temperature at all.
"What's going on here? Where's the captain and the others? Who's that guy?"
"Don't ask! It's obvious! Look at that gun in that guy's hand! Varyosha wouldn't let anyone touch his baby!"
"Fuck! The captain got taken out! Go! Take revenge on that guy!"
"Wait! What's the rush! Don't you see those guys coming out? Let's not rush; let's just stand here and watch. What if there's an ambush behind that guy?"
The bodies of the few mercenaries killed before were all in pieces. This indicated that the person responsible was not an amateur. This time, they shouldn't charge in rashly but wait for the monsters around them to take the lead.
These humans, transformed by Paradeus, had obviously undergone some kind of process. Most of them were previously near death but were now completely revitalized by Paradeus' surgery.
Not only did they obey orders, but their combat skills had also reached the level of ordinary mercenaries. Considering their excellent marksmanship...
It had to be said that if Paradeus could mass-produce these guys, mercenaries like them might all be out of work in the future.
"Huh? What are you afraid of? There's only one guy on the other side! Outside of some sporadic gunshots, there was no other movement at all! Moreover, the captain might still be alive now. Hurry and rush over to give him a shot of adrenaline; we might still be able to save him!"
But among the mercenaries, some couldn't stay calm.
Seeing only Renault at the entrance, two of them couldn't help but attack. After all, those from Paradeus wouldn't help rescue their captain.
