บท 409: Chapter 409: While the Commander is Away

"Intruder, why aren't you going back now?" Executioner found Intruder in the hall who was holding a cup of wine and leisurely listening to the band play.

"Don't be hasty. Be elegant."

"Forget it, no one's watching. Aren't you going back to the ship tonight?"

"I am, of course. Let's go now."

Hearing Executioner's words, Intruder also set down her cup, picked up the handbag she had recently bought from the ship, stood up elegantly and walked towards the top deck of the cruise ship.

The helipad was on the top deck. If they wanted to return to the ship, they naturally had to wait there for Renault to pick them up.

These days, they had enjoyed the highest treatment in their lives. Renault personally acted as the driver, shuttling back and forth between their own ship and the cruise ship every day.

Originally, Renault was curious. None of these guys wanted to stay on the cruise ship. The rooms on the cruise ship should be quite nice, with all kinds of facilities available. Unexpectedly, none of his Dolls wanted to stay in the cabins on the cruise ship for overnight stay.

As for why... it was probably because those cabins didn't have charging equipment specifically for Dolls.

To be precise, it was charging equipment for Tactical Dolls.

The energy consumption of Tactical Dolls was much higher than that of ordinary Dolls. Apart from the energy required for the body's activities, various support modules of the Dolls also consumed energy.

So the charging equipment used by tactical Dolls had to provide more power than that used by ordinary Dolls.

Although ordinary charging equipment could be used, it was like connecting a small faucet to a large pipe—it wasn't very pleasant to use.

Moreover, not only that, because they all used the modified chassis by Renault, the energy demand was even higher. With dozens of dolls charging at the same time at night, it wouldn't just reverse the electric meter on the cruise ship, but at least it would cause a circuit breaker in the whole ship.

The group of dolls left on the cruise ship almost hesitated and chose to return to their own ship.

Although the cabins on their own ship were definitely not as luxurious and comfortable as those on the cruise ship, they didn't need to worry about anything when using charging equipment at home. They also didn't have to worry about the management of the cruise ship coming to them because of electricity bills, nor did they need to worry about too many dolls charging at the same time causing circuit damage.

"Ah, I've had enough of this place. There are only a few places on this cruise ship, and it's boring after walking around a few times. Instead of staying on the cruise ship, why not try the training equipment at home? I heard that the simulation training provided by Renault is very challenging?" Executioner said as she glanced at several other Dolls walking over from a distance.

Those few were not Renault's Dolls, and it was unclear what they were coming over for.

And the several security personnel guarding the helipad on the top deck also showed a somewhat indifferent expression when they saw so many Dolls gathering here.

Every night, these guys would take a helicopter to stay on the nearby ship, but it was unknown which aspect of the facilities on the cruise ship these guys were dissatisfied with...

"Yes, yes! The difficulty of those training levels is indeed very high! Absolutely to your taste! But..." Simonov, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately gave Executioner a thumbs-up when he heard her words.

"But what?"

"But you may not be able to use your current equipment. In the training device, what equipment can be used and what enemies may be encountered are all random... Who are these? Why are they standing here?"

Simonov was speaking when she saw the three dolls who looked as if they belonged here but appeared different from ordinary Dolls walking into the crowd where she and the others were.

At first glance, they looked like Dolls, but these guys didn't seem like simple Dolls.

"Don't you recognize them? I thought they were friends you invited?"

Executioner also looked at the three Dolls with some surprise.

It was obvious that these guys had some mechanical structure exposed under their skirts, showing part of their lower legs. It looked completely like a mechanical structure.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought that these guys might be humans using prosthetics, but there was no reason for three humans to use prosthetics almost simultaneously, right? The probability of this was very small.

However, just as everyone was puzzled, the sound of a helicopter suddenly rang out, and a helicopter approached the cruise ship from a distance, then directly stopped where Renault had previously parked his flying brick.

The three Dolls, who had made Simonov and the others curious, almost hesitated to walk over when they saw the helicopter arrive, and then boarded the helicopter from the open cabin door.

"They're gone."

"Yeah, they're gone. That was quick. Who are these guys? They don't look like normal Dolls."

Several Dolls whispered as they watched the helicopter quickly depart.

"They're probably dolls under some organization. Their clothing and appearance seem quite uniform."

"Oh, the Commander is coming."

As they spoke, Renault also drove the flying machine over.

He now felt like a shuttle bus driver, shuttling back and forth between his own spacecraft and the cruise ship all day.

However, it appears that the Dolls at home were also tired of it. After all, most of them were not interested in entertainment venues such as the cruise ship theater. Therefore, after accompanying others for two days, they just stayed on their own ship and didn't move.

And the number of Dolls going out every day was decreasing.

Until today, the fourth day, only Simonov and her drinking buddies, as well as Executioner and Intruder, were still wandering around.

The other dolls had already returned. Even RFB and M200 accompanying Mrs. Graven had returned to their cabins. The Dolls staying on the ship these days were arguing endlessly about how to name his ship.

Some Dolls planned to directly name the ship after its original form, the Valkyrie Escort Ship, but others planned to come up with a new name. After all, as Renault said, although this ship was only a replica, it had almost nothing in common with the original Valkyrie Escort Ship.

There was no connection at all between the appearance and the original ship. After all, it was just used as a baseline for the ship.

And just as Renault had just set off to pick someone up, the group of dolls left on the spacecraft also reached a consensus and decided to sneakily spray the name they had come up with on the top deck while Renault was away.

It was just picking someone up, a matter of three to five minutes, but when Renault arrived at the garage door driving the gunship, a string of large black letters on the top deck directly made him scratch his head in speechlessness.
