Initially, She thought Renault wanted herself to betray Sangvis Ferri and come to their side. However, upon hearing latter Renault's words, she immediately tilted her head in confusion.
"Why does he always think differently from others?"
While others associate Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing with its armed Doll products and military equipment supplied to the military, Renault's request to hitch a ride seemed unconventional and unheard of.
"I need to inquire about this; after all, I can't make decisions on these matters," Scarecrow reflected. Although Renault's unexpected request required consultation with her superiors, Intruder, the Scarecrow couldn't make unilateral decisions about the railway.
"Of course, I'll wait for your good news," Renault expressed his hope for cooperation with Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing.
Renault believed it feasible for Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing to allow him to hitch a ride, given his relationship with their elite T-Dolls. Furthermore, transportation via SF's trains would facilitate recharging for Renault's T-Dolls, eliminating concerns about energy depletion during prolonged stays outside.
After waiting about five minutes, the communication from the Scarecrow arrived, accompanied by another person.
"Nice to meet you, Commander Renault. I am Intruder of Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing. I heard that you want to take our train to transport some equipment to the Heavy Industry Zone, is that correct?" Intruder inquired respectfully.
Renault, although puzzled by Intruder's deferential attitude, inquired directly, "Yes, is it possible?"
"It is indeed possible. Considering the assistance your T-Dolls have provided me in purchasing drama recordings, this matter poses no problem. However, due to pollution in the southern port city, the railway there has been blocked by abandoned trains. If possible, could you help us clear the railway?" Intruder requested politely.
"Help you clear that railway, correct?" Renault confirmed.
"You see through me indeed. Your agreement would be greatly appreciated. Without material transportation from there, Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing would face difficulties," Intruder acknowledged gracefully.
"Enough, you never intended to conceal anything. Since you put it so clearly, would I be foolish not to understand? Very well, since you agree, when will your train depart?" Renault inquired.
"It's already on the way, but there is only one locomotive and three carriages. If you need additional carriages, you may have to find them yourself in that port city," Intruder informed.
"Alright, I'll pack up and leave. Let your train wait for us at the station in the southern city," Renault concluded.
With that, the Scarecrow terminated the communication neatly, prompting Renault to summon the T-Doll group at home.
"Pack up and get ready to leave! Bring everything you can! This time we might be going on a long journey," Renault announced.
The journey, spanning hundreds of kilometers, would take most of the day even by train. Plus, clearing the abandoned trains on the railway for SF would further delay their return.
As everyone packed all supplies into the semi-trailer's containers, the vehicles were packed to the brim. RFB and others, lacking powered exoskeletons, lay atop the suitcases in the carriage.
In the factory, only old CNC machine tools and metallurgical equipment remained, while communication equipment and maintenance warehouses were packed into containers by Renault.
"Commander, are we really moving? If it's just a trip, there's no need to bring everything, right?" NZ75 questioned as she looked at C96 and MP40 squeezed beside her.
"We might, after all, this factory is a bit too small for us, and the equipment we're going to move next is the same. Finding a bigger place is necessary. If there's a suitable place en route, we'll settle there; if not, we'll return," Renault explained.
"Uh, okay then," NZ75 acquiesced. She had a feeling they might not return to this city for a long time.
Departing through the city gate, the vehicles headed towards the port city they had visited several times before.
Speaking of which, they seemed fated with that port; this was their third visit. Renault wondered if they would encounter any unexpected events again this time.
But Renault's concerns were unwarranted; the journey proceeded smoothly, and upon arriving at the train station on the port side, a freight train bearing the Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing's logo awaited them.
