Chapter 1570 Counterattack against Diamondz -Part 15
As if luck was finally at her side for once, the pilot ordered via helicopter sound system to halt all activities and that included the gorilla Mechanoid which the police had considered it a menace as well.
"Go, you are out of the helicopter's line of sight." Tellie who was observing the situation told Click that she had the opportunity to move to better cover. Perhaps, the police were halting the gorilla Mechanoid because it was not within their IFF database. That would have been a given considering there was no information leaked from all the commanders and Mechanoids they had captured previously.
All the more the police would not have such beast Mechanoids within their database and were considered as a threat to them. And as if to make matters worse for the gorilla Mechanoid, another gorilla came jumping out of the hole as well and slammed its chest, prompting the police to act on it. Their gatling gun rolled without mercy pointing towards the gorilla Mechanoid who had just come out from the 35th floor.
"Fire Fire Fire! The pilot said to the Mechanoid who was handling the gatling gun as it tried to move sidewards so that there would be more distance away from the gorilla Mechanoid.
Even though the police were considered friendly to the database of the gorilla Mechanoids, their reaction prompted them as a threat as well which allowed the two gorillas to take turns yelling at it despite the gatling gun rotating to the maximum effect.
The pilot and Mechanoids were in disbelief as they saw those trusted fast velocity bullets who managed to shred any rampant Mechanoids into pieces in their years of service that it had bounced off as if the bullets hit some reactive jelly cushion.
"It was a good decision not to release the assault rifle drones back to firing mode..." Click said to herself as she tried to take a peek and analyse the gorillas as they were being distracted by the police helicopter. With the aid of the System, they managed to get some quick data from the peek and the tactical system started to show some possible flaws that the robot had.
Usually, it would be the joints but there were armour plates covering the side of its knees and elbows, making it hard to have a good shot at it. Thus, the only weak point was at the back of those joints where there were no metal plates covering it. "Hahaha, as I shall reiterate, it would be better for the other team to be here right now."
"I could not agree any further." Tellie also sighed as the both of them saw how one of the gorilla Mechanoids jumped through the thick glass of the Diamondz Headquarters to grab the helicopter and threw it back to the other gorilla as if they were playing a game of catch. The other gorilla took it by the tail and smashed it to the floor, effectively killing the pilot and the Mechanoids within it. After which, it continued to pound its chest as if to assert dominance that they were the king of Mechanoids (as of right now.)
"There is no way planting explosives will work." Click said to herself as her second glance at the schematics that the tactical System generated was finalised. "It might not look like it but there's another thin layer of malleable armour plating that protects the joints from penetrating attacks. An explosive or even a rocket shot would not work. I will need at least RPG shots at it!" She commented internally.
Her other alternative for that plan was Tellie but considering how she was currently immobile at the moment, there was no way she could do it without getting noticed. Thus, her thinking shifted towards the broken helicopter that miraculously did not explode even after the gorilla smashes it to the ground.
"This meant that the core and engine were not particularly damaged, right? It could still be working!" She thought to herself as the combat engineer requested the tactical System to analyse it as well.
"The reactor core is still functioning and the engine appeared to still be in working condition albeit slightly battered."
"Then we got to try out that upgrade card that Jin talked about previously." Click said to the tactical System, feeling that this could possibly be their ticket way out of this mess, or at the very least until Jin was relieved from his pain. And speaking of Jin, she took a quick look and noticed he was not moving at all though the tactical System informed her that his vitals were still normal and there was nothing to worry about.
"Buy more time for him." The tactical System stated as it took the supposed upgrade card that Click was thinking about and started to enhance its stats by combining other upgrade cards onto it. Even the tactical System who was only able to support from the sideline felt that this was marginally more aid with the enhanced upgrade card which could have the potential to turn the tables for this current situation.
But the reality was that there is no way they could win without 'cheating' even though this situation was already a case for lawsuit considering how Page had said that the Mechanoids had been limited to certain height dimensions to prevent people from having odd looking Mechanoids. "You can build them, but that does not mean you can use them." Page would say that in this situation although none of that matters as survival was the only thing that Click had been trying to do.
"I would need a speed boost if I wish to use the upgrade card on the helicopter." Click said as she placed her creation backpack down and checked the amount of ammunition, she had on her, including the limited number of flashbangs she was carrying. Her backpack could create more of these but it will make too much noise at the moment so she had to leave it for now as she 'pick up her courage' waiting for the most favourable time to run.
"Do you require some distraction?" Tellie asked as she could see from the side that Click was getting ready to do something.
"It will put you in a very bad spot though." Click replied but she could hear Tellie smile through the voice comms. "Okay. but remember Commander's order. Survive at all cost."
"Do not worry. I will comply with that order." Tellie said as she requested the tactical System to give her a boost in accuracy.
"Accuracy Upgrade card applied." The tactical System stated, and Tellie sprang into action by throwing a claymore upwards in a hyperbola angle causing the gorilla Mechanoids to take notice of its appearance before she shot it down with her sidearm pistol.
The claymore lit up nicely that its blast went downwards, hitting the gorilla Mechanoids who were observing the situation. Obviously, it was not doing much damage to them since it was not even close. But that was all that was needed as a distraction for Click to dash.
"It's all yours," Tellie said as she rolled on her belly and out of cover to start shooting those electrically charged bullets towards the two gorilla mechanoids.
