"Here comes another one, Commander. With so many of these, our warehouse will soon be overflowing. And it seems like we don't need this many helicopters," G36 said somewhat helplessly as she looked at the tiltrotor helicopter in front of her.
These helicopters were rarely used in their daily lives at home, but even if they weren't used, they still needed manpower to maintain them every day to ensure they could take off from the hangar smoothly.
Just maintaining the three helicopters they had before had already required additional help, and now there was another one, which seemed more complex and harder to maintain than the previous three.
While G36 was complaining to Renault, on the other side, Gentiane, who had just come down from the helicopter, was being roped in by MDR to help with carrying things.
"Welcome, Commander Gentiane! Come on, come on! Let's smile!"
MDR said, ignoring Gentiane's sweaty and breathless state in her protective suit, and hugged her shoulders, taking a selfie with her.
"Nice! Thanks, UMP40! Where are the cats?" Ignoring Gentiane's forced smile in the photo, MDR immediately turned and ran towards where the tactical dolls were gathered.
Meanwhile, Jaeger had already arrived, holding her hands up and watching the box being held by G3, which contained the orange cat she had bought.
Seeing how careful G3 was, Jaeger was afraid of damaging the box, as if she could already envision what the orange cat would look like.
BM59, on the other hand, was not as cautious as Jaeger.
After seeing the carrier containing the ragdoll cat, she happily picked it up and walked towards the direction of the dormitory with the others, planning to put the little one back in the dormitory first and then come back to help with the luggage.
With everyone laughing and talking, NZ75 noticed Gentiane, who was exhausted from wearing the protective suit, and quickly took her to the decontamination chamber to disinfect her before helping her out of the heavy protective suit.
Once out of the suit, Gentiane took a deep breath.
Although there was no odor in the suit, it felt stuffy to breathe in, and it was much heavier than the suits she had used during training.
Even though she had just been sitting in the helicopter cabin wearing the suit, it had given her a taste of what it was like to operate in the red zone.
"Phew, finally out..."
Gentiane ran a five-tooth comb through her hair, which was already damp with sweat, and looked strangely at NZ75 and the tactical dolls outside who were moving supplies.
"Have you been living here for a long time?"
Looking at the door of the decontamination chamber and the furnishings in the corridor, although they looked new at first glance, Gentiane could tell that it was just because they were cleaned regularly.
"Not long, less than half a year, Commander Gentiane. Let me take you to change your clothes first," NZ75 said, looking at Gentiane's disheveled appearance, and led her to the dormitory to change clothes.
Gentiane was about the same size as her, so she could wear her clothes temporarily.
Besides, UMP45 had told her that Gentiane seemed to be staying here for a week, and for such a long time, how could she not change clothes?
While Gentiane was being taken away by NZ75, leaving only the Papasha trio standing awkwardly beside the helicopter, helping to move some of the lighter items.
What else could they do?
They couldn't lift the heavy ones, and Renault's tactical dolls were all monsters, able to lift boxes weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand.
In no time, all the cargo from the two helicopters was moved into the dormitory building, and they only helped carry a few bags of cat food.
After moving the items, AK47 quickly pulled the Papasha trio inside, almost forgetting about them for a moment.
They were Griffin's tactical tactical dolls, still in their basic state, completely different from the ones they were used to.
This was the Red Zone, and although tactical dolls could function normally here, prolonged exposure would also damage their frames. To prevent these few from needing major repairs prematurely, it was better to keep them indoors.
The Papasha trio didn't refuse. After all, there was nothing for them to do here. HK416, who had come back with them, had already gone back, and M1 Garand and the others who were storing the helicopters were just the tactical dolls who hadn't gone on missions.
Storing and maintaining the helicopters didn't take much time for M1 Garand and the others. They did this every day, checking the helicopters in no time and returning to the dormitory building.
By now, UMP40 and the others had already changed clothes and released the cats from their carriers.
The cats, who had been cooped up in the cages for a long time, immediately rushed out joyfully!
Especially UMP40's two calico cats, they were like mischievous spirits, darting out and heading straight for the kitchen door, probably smelling the delicious aroma of food from the kitchen.
BM59's ragdoll cat on the other hand was more elegant. After coming out of the carrier, it looked around at the tactical dolls surrounding it, gently meowed a few times, and walked to BM59's feet to rub against them.
But the most docile one was probably Jaeger's orange cat. After walking a few steps, it lay down directly on the ground, flicked its tail, and looked as if it were saying, "I'm hungry, where's my servant to feed me?"
Jaeger couldn't resist this orange cat, so she reached out and picked it up, cuddling it against her cheek, while her two Dinergates, seeing their mistress with a new favorite, circled around her with some irritation.
Meanwhile, Gentiane had come out with NZ75, wearing her clothes. Clothes that were too oversized for her stature which made her look like a child.
Originally, she thought she would be laughed at when she came out, but seeing everyone busy playing with the cats, she realized that no one had noticed her appearance, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Plus, the relaxed and happy atmosphere among the tactical dolls at this moment made Gentiane involuntarily smile.
Click!
Just as she had barely managed to crack a smile, Gentiane heard the sound of a camera shutter.
MDR had somehow appeared in front of her, squatting in front of her, holding her phone up to take a picture of her, while giving her a thumbs up!
Nice expression!
