Tellie was subsequently able to complete her objective and she did not waste any time firing her 'magical' beam across the entire forest once more, destroying roughly 10-15% of the forest trolls that were residing in the area. At the same time, Lynn was the only one protecting the rear while the rest had gone to get the escape vehicle starting. To their delight, the vehicle was untouched by the Forest Trolls and they were able to get it alive without much trouble.
Lynn, on the other hand, was going over her maximum power capacity once more by overexerting herself against the limit time and time again. Her fists imbued by Page's elemental nanobots along with her own heated fists and legs were proving to be the best offence against the Forest Trolls. Not to mention, if it was not for the artillery support, there was no way she would be able to keep up with the pace against the overwhelming numbers.
Click was initially a little hesitant to leave Lynn behind for her to take care of the defences but Lynn insisted for Click to aid Page in the event that the escape vehicle had problems starting up. However, her motive was not entirely pure as she figured that if she was placed in an extremely difficult situation, there was a possibility for her to break the limit of her current 'shell' and increase her artificial cultivation grade.
And she did.
With all the experiences levelling up her cultivation grade prior to her arrival to this virtual simulation, it had enabled her to break the limits and get her fusion cores to pump out even more chi, increasing her grade to the Third. (Well, technically the lower grades were easy to achieve mainly because it needed more usage for the cores to get up and working. )
Thus, with this renewed strength, she was able to explosively move through the opening and defeat the Forest Trolls with not just heated fists and legs but now energised short blades that were emitting from her hands which she could also swing out and slices of heated energy were used to cut the Forest Trolls' head if they were fast and accurate enough to hit the target. (Otherwise, it would just be a severe burn that injures the Forest Trolls) Because of her cultivation was the Penguins in the Kitchen Hell (PLEASE CHECK THE PROPER NAMEZ), the usage of fire and high temperature was easily her strong suit and she was undoubtedly the natural enemy of the Forest Trolls.
However, before she could fully utilise her new strength, Lynn managed to see that Diaz and Yinn had managed to reach the opening. Diaz was still firing like a mad person but Lynn realised it was not the guns that had been brought with her. Instead, it was plucked out from the Mechanical Hound and she had been using it as her own. (If Click knows about it, she will definitely kill Diaz for mistreating her hound.) And yet, the Hound was still running at full speed towards the opening if not for the attack that Tellie had made to clear the area for them.
"How's Tellie?" Yinn said as Lynn finally stopped and returned to the centre of the opening where Tellie was.
"She is still cooling down. We can move her but it would be hot." Lynn replied as she took her pistol out and threw it to Diaz as she saw her ditching the Mechanical Hound's machine gun to the floor.
"Thanks, Lynn. I still have a surplus of bullets but all the guns had melted from the extreme firing." Diaz said as she took the pistol and continued to fire towards the Forest Trolls.
"I can carry her as I can manipulate heat with my current state. Diaz, take Tellie's assault rifle. She had not used it yet." Lynn said as she carried Tellie behind her back while Yinn searched Tellie's combat vest for more ammunition not just for herself but for Diaz too. Unlike Diaz, her rifle had not yet been compromised but she required ammunition as well.
"Do you want to use Tellie's sniper rifle as well?" Lynn asked and Diaz shook her head violently.
"No way. That is her baby. I am not using her baby unless she gives explicit permission." Diaz said and Yinn nodded her head too, citing that it was a well known fact of Tellie that Lynn was not aware of.
If that's the case, then let's hurry back to the escape vehicle." Lynn replied as they could see the Trolls were even more rowdy as they saw a bunch of their own had been swiftly annihilated by that magical beam Tellie had caused.
"And here I guess it right! We are on the dot!" Click said through her intercom as headlights shone in their direction and out came the combat jeep that Page was driving. The System had stopped the artillery bombardment at certain predicted areas to allow the entire Grey Bear groups to meet before commencing back the artillery attacks. Even though it was not controlled by the System, the Mechanoids that were operating them were on point with their instructions with a slight tolerance in a short lag time. Overall, it was almost exactly similar to how the System would have controlled it.
So, with the artillery bombardment as cover, Tellie was loaded into the combat jeep while the rest entered with Diaz being the last to go in.
"Let's go, Page! I think the System had bombarded quite a fair amount of the place to give us a small clearing as a path to follow." Click said as she checked her holographic console to see the current live view of the terrain."
"Roger that," Page said as she stepped on the accelerator and released her clutch to move all speed ahead. It was a short breather for the group as they moved away from the opening but it was to reload. Yinn now knew how Diaz operated with her new Gunzerker class and thus started feeding boxes of ammunition right into her via her back where a hole had been designated as the 'refill' point. The moment she inserted the belt of ammunition into her, it quickly gobbled it up like some hungry hippo. The phrase second stomach might be relevant for Diaz as they had no idea how she was keeping all that ammunition within her.
In the meantime, the rest stocked up their items as Page also sent her nanobots to repair the group within the combat jeep. Those nanobots had already been on standby and she created even Nanobots that were specialised in cooling so that they would assist Tellie with her release of heat. Thus, while they were being repaired, everyone was refilling their ammunition before they allowed Diaz to have everything else.
So despite the feeding of ammunition to the Gunzerker, Diaz figured it was enough and took the chance to open the top latch so as to be able to get up at the hood of the combat jeep to use the heavy calibre machine gun that was mounted on it. Unlike previously where she would have spammed it like crazy, Diaz was actually trying to aim with her targeting module as she knew the trip back could be impossible if they wastefully used their ammunition within the jeep.
All they could do was to complete their objective of returning back Daimon City alive.
