Chapter 1564 Counterattack against Diamondz -Part 9

"Warning, the System has detected a change in algorithm sequence within the database. The security locks have been severed and we do not have control of them." The tactical System said which made Click stop in her tracks for a moment, apparently stunned that it was not working.
"Wait a minute, I thought I managed to hack through them?!" Click said as she checked her backlogs the moment she returned her composure.
"The System believed the backdoor was a trap used to lure hackers to take the easy way out. It was hidden sufficiently so that it was not that obvious but it was still a trap nonetheless." The System reported as they could see that the room they were stuck in started to make noises.
Locks were engaged and shutters were being brought down ensuring that no one would be allowed to leave this room alive until the threats had been eliminated. Even the series of Mechanoids that were sleeping within their pods started to warm up.
There was no way to stop the activation and the only solution was to destroy the pods before they opened up. That was the deduction Tellie and Jin had even though Click was still rummaging through the codes, hoping to find the light that was at the end of the tunnel despite it being filled with Mechanoids at the moment.
However even as Jin and Tellie tried their best by inserting grenades near the piles of wires, hoping to break them through their explosives so no power could be routed into them, they were a tad too late. Almost every Mechanoid who had received the signal to eliminate their targets had been accompanied by a surge of energy at the start. That was all it needed to kickstart their reactors and shift into combat mode.
The pods were merely charging them further so that they could have more than sufficient energy to hunt down the rest of the terrorists that the CEO had dictated. If their pods were not working, their batteries were sufficiently charged to wake themselves up and eliminate the threat that was plaguing the company headquarters.
And if that was not enough to deter Jin and Tellie, the Mechanoids that had been deployed were no mere runts. As each Mechanoid awake from their pods, the subsequent one that had been activated seemed to be stronger than the other. And if that was not enough of a threat to Team Armoury, they realised that those Mechanoids were not shaped as humans at all.
The first iteration that emerged looked like spiders and they were later accompanied by scorpion shaped Mechanoids. Each of them was designed to not capture or subdue their enemies to submission. They were meant to tear, viscerate and vanquish their objectives and it was apparent that Team Armoury was not well equipped for such a fight.
After all, their purpose was to hijack the armoury depot and acquire gear to wreak havoc. If they knew that they could not control the Mechanoids in the first place, there was no need for them to come to this rotten place.
But what's done was already done.
With Click still adamant that the Mechanoids that were on alert can be reverted or even converted, she continued to find a way through the console control. She do not believe that she was that inferior compared to Page who had the ability to use her nanobots to control the enemies with just a snap of her finger. There must be something that Click could do as a combat engineer to win these Mechanoids.
"Do not give up, we will provide as much cover as possible," Jin said as he could see that Click was struggling to make things right.
"Though it will be better if you could give us some real cover." Tellie smiled as she conveyed her message via the tactical System now that both of them were firing their guns ablaze and shouting at the top of their lungs would not make things any easier for them.
"Ah you are so noisy!" Click said as she dropped her huge backpack down and patted the side pockets of the backpack to retrieve a metal box. She then threw it towards their direction and the metal box subsequently expanded in size horizontally. Layers of makeshift plates gave them the cover they sorely needed from bullets that the enemy Mechanoids were shooting them with.
However, even as they were protected by this makeshift cover, the enemy Mechanoids were having the very same advantage as well. As they were not humanoid in nature, their metal carapace design enabled them to protect themselves from the attacks Team Armoury was dishing out.
It was an impasse at the moment but since Jin and Tellie had only interrupted the pods nearest to them, they were the first to be awakened. With the suppression fire those spider and scorpion Mechanoids were providing, the rest of the pods were able to keep charging and prepped until they were ready to be fully activated. It was only a matter of time Jin and Tellie would be overwhelmed or until this makeshift plate cover gave way from the extensive abuse the Mechanoids were throwing them with.
"Guess there is no running away from just using the standard way of battle eh?" Jin sighed to himself as he started to charge his P90 machine gun with wind and fire Maqi and simultaneously overload the rest of the bullets with electrical Maqi.
With this combination, the bullets would be elementally equipped to disrupt the Mechanoids and damage them while the wind and fire Maqi powered up the P90 assault rifle so that it could blast the bullets at a higher velocity.
This precise control of his Maqi enabled him to fire a string of bullets that took down the Scorpion Mechanoid who had approached way too close for comfort, which Tellie and Jin eventually used as their new cover.
Tellie on the other hand used the upgrade cards that the tactical System offered her and she was able to output the very same kind of firepower towards the insect type Mechanoids.
And as usual, this was practically just the start as they could see the pods further in the room started to open.
