"Refusing to help with transportation? And also demanding a transfer fee?" Upon hearing this, Renault looked at Helianthus on the holographic image with a wise expression.
What kind of appearance would large industrial equipment have? Without even thinking about it, just the words 'large-scale' in front were enough to indicate its massive size, which was normal. Some equipment was even directly installed in the factory buildings.
If one wanted to move it, they would either have to dismantle all the supporting equipment in the factory and move it, or they would have to spend money to purchase various supporting facilities again.
Renault had previously felt that the space in the current factory was insufficient for this reason. When he first arrived here, the factory felt very spacious, but now, not only it housed the dormitories of the dolls, but it also had space for parking trucks and trailers, as well as power exoskeletons placed along the walls.
And those CNC machine tools and metallurgical equipment that he had been using for a whole year, in addition to his workbench and a few sofas, left very limited space in the entire factory. There was simply no room for any extra equipment.
But regarding the large industrial equipment mentioned by Helian, Renault really didn't expect that even now, there were still people who thought they owned the rights to the materials in the Red Zone.
Although it sounded a bit outrageous, the fact was that those materials left in the Red Zone, even if someone really retrieved them, no one would say much about it.
Unless, like Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing, a military company. They can directly deploye various factories in the Red Zone and had a large number of SF Dolls and combat units to guard them.
Otherwise, no one would care about who owned those things abandoned in the Red Zone. At worst, it would only be that when the people who moved the goods back to the Green Zone or Yellow Zone, someone would come looking for trouble and try to steal the goods.
If anyone could easily establish a factory in a high-risk area like Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing did, then the reputation of the Red Zone would have been long gone, and it would have been renamed the Heavy Industrial Zone. After all, it was already heavily contaminated by radiation, so a little more heavy industry pollution wouldn't matter.
Unfortunately, up to now, the only company that could place most of its main production lines in high-risk areas was Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing. Other companies either didn't have as many autonomous Dolls or didn't have the technology to ensure that their dolls could move freely in high-risk areas.
"Sorry, Renault, actually, the owners of those equipment didn't find us, but the other way around. Because he heard that G&K was inquiring about these devices, so he..."
"Oh, I see. So he thinks Griffin is a soft target, or that Griffin operates within certain rules and dares not do anything too outrageous, intending to let you do the work of transporting the goods out, and then he'll send someone to rob you halfway. That way, he'll get the goods and get some money, killing two birds with one stone, right?" Upon hearing Helianthus's hesitant expression, Renault also understood and tapped his forehead knowingly.
It made sense, but this guy was really bold. Why was he always thinking about profiting from Griffin?
Perhaps because Griffin had paid too much compensation before, so now the impression they gave was that of a soft target that anyone could take advantage of?
Because of the numerous attacks on their bases and the loss of many contracted areas before, Griffin naturally suffered heavy losses and was criticized by those clients and employers. Therefore, Griffin's impression during this time was that of an insecure security contractor.
It was reasonable for people to target them.
But this was just an outsider's view of Griffin.
In fact, Griffin still controlled a large area and held many security protection contracts in the safe zones.
Anyone who underestimated Griffin could only show that they didn't really understand Griffin. Otherwise, how could a "plain and ordinary" security contractor like them continue to bear the responsibility of protecting many safe zones after suffering heavy losses?
"Well, that's roughly the situation. So whether you go or not, it's up to you..."
"Go, why not? It's just a case of robbing a thief. Just tell me the location, what transfer fee? Let him go play in the mud by himself." Hearing this, Renault raised an eyebrow. As long as he knew the location, it was fine. Anyway, the other party was stingy and wanted to rob him. There was no need to think about the intelligence fee. The goods were just there. Since he was going to bring people to take them, what was different?
"Well, but you'd better be prepared. That place is actually within Sangvis actual control zone. It might be very troublesome to move things out from SF's controlled area."
As Helianthus spoke, he directly sent the location of the factory to Renault's communicator.
"SF's control zone? That shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, thanks for this, I'll treat you to a meal when I come back!" Seeing the location on the map, Renault nodded and waved his hand to thank Helianthus.
"Eh?" Hearing Renault's words, Helian's face lit up. "Then how about..."
Click.
Before the sentence was finished, Renault on the other side had already cut off the communication.
Looking at the empty holographic image, Helian was immediately infuriated and roared in frustration, slamming the table. "Renault! You bastard!"
Standing guard outside the door, another Nagant Revolver was startled when she heard the roar from inside the room. But she immediately remembered what Poposha and the others had said before...
"Helianthus's mood swings are unpredictable, especially when it comes to a guy named Renault. It's best not to get involved with Helianthus's in such situations!"
After Renault hung up the communication, he directly called over the Dinergate with Scarecrow communication device beside Jaeger.
After connecting the communication, Scarecrow on the other end seemed to be eating something. When he saw Renault suddenly appear, she hurriedly put on her mask. It was unclear what the point of that thing was, why she had to be so nervous.
"What's up?" Quickly reverting to her usual silent persona, Scarecrow asked Renault seriously.
"Ah, there's something. Take a look at this map. Is this place your Sangvis' control zone?" Placing the map sent by Helianthus on the holographic image, Renault pointed to one of the locations and asked the scarecrow.
"Hmm? Yes, it's indeed our SF's control zone, but why are you asking this?"
Was it related to a mission about SF? Did he want to steal something from SF? Scarecrow frowned and immediately became vigilant.
"There's a steel plant over there with some smelting and rolling equipment inside. I want to go over and move those things back. Of course, I also want to take away the CNC milling machines and industrial motherboards from the processing plant next to it. I want to ask if your side's railway can give me a ride?"

Kek, I was busy for the whole week, that's why all posts are delayed including the ones in P.
Also kek, this volume is named because of the journey and the end of the VOL is about that.
