Chapter 120: Heading Back to Drive

"Zzz—!"

"Commander!... Interference!"

Jaeger, still monitoring the cargo ship next to the building, suddenly experienced strong interference.

Although communication didn't immediately cut off, the voice became intermittent.

"M1911, Go to Jaeger and tell her to withdraw. Meet up at the shipyard and inform those guys at the gas station. If they don't want to die, they better steer clear of the docks and head to the shipyard!"

"Got it! Zzz—Crackle—!" M1911 also experienced interference, but probably due to some obstacles between her and the dock, communication remained relatively clear, albeit with some static.

Upon hearing Renault's command, M1911 immediately stood on the rooftop and gestured towards Jaeger's direction.

Seeing M1911's gesture, Jaeger immediately understood, jumped down from the building's top, and moved towards the shipyard following the direction where the armored vehicle had just evacuated.

Seeing Jaeger started to withdraw, M1911 and P38 exchanged glances, then jumped down from the rooftop and rushed towards the gas station.

Originally, they intended to use communicators to notify the people at the gas station, but unfortunately, plans had changed. The speed of radiation interference was far beyond their expectations.

Most likely, the communicators of those people at the gas station were already burnt out.

"Are you still there? Commander said to evacuate towards the shipyard!" Ignoring the horrified gazes of the people at the gas station, M1911 directly opened the fragile door and shouted at the few people inside using the megaphone attached to her powered exoskeleton.

Apart from Angelia and Anthony, three other members from Statesec's Sixth Division were present. Altogether, there were five people.

Upon hearing M1911's voice, they breathed a sigh of relief.

When they saw M1911 opening the door, they thought these two were here to eliminate them!

"We understand, we'll evacuate immediately!" Upon hearing this, Anthony nodded immediately. With the sudden increase in radiation levels and the communicators burnt out, not evacuating meant waiting here just to die!

"Wait! What exactly happened!?" Seeing M1911 and the others leaving immediately, Angelia hurriedly stopped them and asked.

"What happened? We're not entirely sure, but listen to the commander and evacuate. With the current radiation level, staying here for another fifteen minutes will be fatal..." Before P38 could finish her sentence, one of the Security Bureau's men collapsed. Luckily, he knelt down, so his helmet wasn't damaged. Otherwise, he would die even faster.

"That's right, if you don't evacuate now, it's certain death. Let's... wait a minute, M1911, I remember these guys seem to be from Statesec too, right? Aren't they also considered our clients?" Just as P38 was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that Anthony and his team were probably from Statesec as well.

"Oh, it seems so. They probably can't escape. Let's give them a hand and move them out. We can't let the clients die here, or our firm's reputation will suffer." M1911 said so and directly grabbed Anthony and another Security Bureau member who was standing in front of her.

Following her lead, P38 also grabbed the other two Security Bureau members, "Um, Commander Angelia, do you want to hitch a ride? If so, it'll be a bit uncomfortable, but you can lie on my back."

Upon hearing this, Angelia glanced reluctantly at the direction of the cargo ship, stepped on the windowsill, and jumped onto P38's back.

With everyone accounted for, M1911 and P38 didn't hesitate anymore and immediately set off, accelerating towards the shipyard.

With the assistance of powered exoskeletons and even carrying a few humans in heavy protective suits, a distance of a few hundred meters was covered in just a few dozen seconds.

After setting down the Statesec guys, they collapsed and vomited on the ground.

Only Angelia seemed to be in better condition, but she still held her helmet, feeling a bit unsteady on her feet.

"Ugh! Cough!"

"Hey hey! Anthony! Don't vomit inside your protective suit! If you get choked to death by vomit, no one will want to retrieve your body!" Seeing Anthony and his team's miserable state, Stephan, standing on the armored vehicle, gloated.

He was really grateful now that Nicholas knew this guy Renault. If it weren't for Renault and his Tactical Dolls, their team would probably have been wiped out here today.

Even if one or two lucky ones survived and returned, they wouldn't escape the consequences of excessive radiation exposure.

"Don't rejoice here, quickly get them into the car and leave. Just now, Jaeger said something seems to be about to rush out from that ship. Most likely, it's a Heavy ELID infected, or worse, a mutated one." Renault walked over and threw Anthony and his team onto the car roof.

Mutated ELID infected, although Renault hadn't heard of such a thing while playing games before transmigrating over, he had been in this world for over a year now and knew some common knowledge.

Behind Renault, MG3 and RFB, who had been waiting at the shipyard, had already run onto the cargo ship.

SPAS-12 was currently driving the cargo ship. All she needed to do was to drive the cargo ship north along the river.

M1911, P38, and Simonov stayed behind to protect the armored vehicle.

Later, Simonov would return to where they parked their vehicle and drive their truck away.

As for himself?

The Kamaz parked near the dock seemed pretty good. If he could drive it back, it would be much better than the second-hand trailer he assembled at home.

Of course, he wouldn't abandon the trailer.

Who doesn't like a freebie?

"Hurry up! Move! Move! If we don't leave now, are we going to stay here and die!?" Renault clapped his hands and shouted, then turned around and walked out of the shipyard gate, heading towards the dock.

Without any doubt, everyone followed Renault's command.

Those who needed to get on the ship did so, those who needed to follow the car did, and a group of people rushed out of the shipyard gate, heading straight to the predetermined meeting point.

"Why did Renault go there? Why do I see him turning towards the dock?" Sitting in the armored vehicle, Stephan asked Nicholas with some confusion.

"His Doll said he's going to drive that Kamaz, the one the mercenaries used to transport the Collapse liquid." Nicholas sighed. Although he didn't know where Renault got the confidence to bring that car back intact, he couldn't stop him.

"Uh, that car... well, it's indeed more expensive than the commission you mentioned before. But is it necessary... Cars can always be bought, but life is precious..."

In the car, Nicholas and Stephan didn't notice that there seemed to be one fewer person in the armored vehicle than planned.
