"Commander, most of the supplies at home have already been moved to the uncontaminated area. The vertical farm and the breeding farm haven't been damaged," NZ75 reported as M1 Garand and the others mowed down the enemies wearing protective suits like cutting vegetables.
NZ75 had already run over to Renault from home and explained the general situation. Afterward, she glanced ahead, hesitating whether to go up and support.
After all... those things in the distance, even if M1 Garand and the others were all wearing powered exoskeletons, NZ75 felt it was a bit unrealistic...
"Are those... proper tanks in the distance?" Scarecrow returning with a hammer frowned at the gradually approaching silhouettes in the darkness.
If that were true, it would be a bit too much. Since even before she joined Renault's side, she hadn't encountered the military a few times. Even if she had fought with the military once or twice, the most she had seen were some Cyclops and Aeigis, and rarely any Coeus.
Could it be that right after she arrived at Renault's side, she had to face off against the military's Typhon tanks?
"It's close, but it's not the current Typhon the military is using. It's the T90 from decades ago," Renault frowned slightly, lighting a cigarette and observing the tanks and armored vehicles charging out of the darkness.
For powered exoskeletons, armored vehicles weren't much of a threat since their armor thickness wasn't thick enough to withstand machine gun fire.
However, the four T90 tanks troubled Renault. Except for the aluminum thermite carried by Vector, none of the weapons equipped on the powered exoskeletons were capable of harming these behemoths.
Even the RPG-29 launcher carried by M1911 made Renault uncertain.
Who knew if those guys had modified the T90s in some way?
And the most important thing was, that launcher only had two rounds of ammunition.
Even if M1911 had amazing luck and hit weak points in the armor every time taking out one tank each time, there were still two tanks left.
But it wasn't a big problem. If necessary, he still had a few EMP bombs on hand. Originally intended for use against dolls, using them in emergencies to destroy the electronic devices inside those tanks was also feasible.
"Commander, besides those supplies at home, UMP40's cats..." NZ75 hesitated to bring up the topic to Renault, seeing he wasn't overly concerned about M1 Garand and the others.
Before NZ75 could finish her sentence, Renault raised an eyebrow.
He almost forgot about it!
They were just sitting in the dining room having a meal!
The cats at home were all in the dining room!
Breaking glass posed no problem to dolls! But it wasn't necessarily the case for the cats!
The level of pollution like this not only made it difficult for humans to survive but also made it impossible for plants, animals, moss on the ground, and even bacteria in the air to survive in these irradiated areas.
If they did survive... they were likely to have undergone some kind of mutation...
Just like the cats at Renault's place now. Out of the four cats, three were already showing symptoms of ELID. However, the big orange cat kept by Jaeger was completely unaffected. It even lied on the ground with a round body, happily munching on a piece of dried fish in its mouth.
"Could it be that Jaeger's big orange cat is actually immune to collapse radiation?" Seeing the big orange cat still having a good appetite, UMP40 couldn't help but feel a bit shocked, but she still anxiously looked at the other three cats that had been put into quarantine boxes.
BM59's ragdoll was still in decent condition because it was next to BM59 when the glass broke. She protected the ragdoll immediately, so it only looked a bit sickly now.
But the conditions of the other two calico cats were not optimistic. The two troublemakers, like little monkeys, were not far from the window when the glass broke. Plus, they were startled by the sudden breakage of the glass. They darted away at the first opportunity, delaying the time it took for UMP40 to put them into quarantine boxes.
Compared to the seemingly sickly appearance of the ragdoll and the completely unaffected big orange cat, the conditions of the two calico cats were not optimistic.
One of them had even started to shed fur, and if this continued, it would probably lead to skin necrosis and then directly transform into ELID-infected organisms.
Of course, the possibility was very low, because the bodies of cats were not strong enough to support their continued survival after becoming infected, and even if they did transform, they probably wouldn't survive for long before naturally dying.
If animals could transform into ELID-infected individuals and survive for a long time like human infected individuals, the city they were in would probably have become a paradise for animal infected individuals long ago.
When Renault heard the news, he threw away the cigarette in his hand.
"Prepare the helicopter. After dealing with these guys, we'll immediately go to the city to see if there's a veterinarian. Scarecrow, you and them, get your hands treated first."
After saying that, Renault directly walked toward M1 Garand and the others.
"Hey! Wait! You..." Seeing Renault running out without hesitation, Scarecrow was about to say that Renault was just a human and didn't even have a weapon in his hand, so he shouldn't meddle in the fight against these tanks.
However, when he thought of Renault falling from the sky before, Scarecrow swallowed his words, better not to say anything. This guy might be even tougher than those tanks.
Just as Renault rushed out, a group of dolls with powered suits had already begun exchanging fire with the armored vehicles on the opposite side.
M1 Garand saw these intruders, and the drivers in the opposite vehicles had already seen the powered armor glowing with red eyes.
The machine guns on top of the tanks and the autocannons on top of the armored vehicles sprayed out bullets toward the dolls.
However, even though the autocannons on the armored vehicles and the heavy machine guns on top of the tanks were all equipped with modified automatic aiming devices, the locking speed of these turrets was unable to keep up with the fully opened powered exoskeletons' movements.
The actions of these powered exoskeletons didn't seem particularly fast normally, but M1911 and the others obviously had no intention of conserving energy. They immediately maxed out the output of the powered exoskeletons as soon as they started.
A dozen or so towering powered exoskeletons which were agile like a group of rabbit made it impossible for these armored vehicles and tanks to catch them!
The rotating speed of the machine guns and autocannons was unable to keep up with the movements of the dolls, let alone the main cannons of the tanks, which should have been able to easily penetrate the powered suits, were now acting like fools, being circled around by a group of dolls, unable to find an opportunity to fire.
