Number One Dungeon Supplier-Chapter 1911 Click Is Happy Modifying

When dawn came, the activities of the zombies were no doubt being lessened to a certain degree. Half Ghoul Lord Derek could only deduce that why the zombies were more active in the night based on his experience and his fellow zombies under his command is that they were somewhat affected by the solar energy of the sun.

"It might have something to do with the celestial's powers. Perhaps, under the power of the sun, we become more indolent so that it would be easier for the Celestials to control us if they want to?" Derek was not able to give a concrete answer to Yinn and her team when the squad asked him such a question.

"Have you ever been controlled by a celestial before?" Yinn questioned and Derek shook his head. Firstly, Jin did not have any celestials under him nor did he capture any. Even the bellators under his command like Milk and Peppers who no doubt were able to go into the Celestial plane due to their links to the heavens and universal mana pool, did not have the actual powers of a celestial.

"The minion closest to being a Celestial might probably be Zhi Nu due to her supposed folklore background." That was when the System came in and corrected him, stating that she did not have any celestial powers at all.

"Then what about that Empress...lady that you had used for the Dungeon as well?" Derek asked since they were on the topic at hand. "As Half Ghoul Lord Derek had suspected, the Heavenly Empress is a mimic of a celestial and not an actual celestial at all. It was only through the User's interference and consistent use of Zhi Nu that she obtained her powers. It was not because she had celestial abilities manifesting within her." The System stated and it answered all of Derek's queries.

As for the Grey Bear Squad, they had finally started to move out the moment they caught a speck of light emerging over the mountains and forested areas. They quickly got out of the pit stop with a working car after they had satisfied its needs for gasoline. And while they were able to squeeze all five of the Grey Bears into the car, they had decided to rotate and have one sitting on the rooftop of the car by utilising its roof carrier as a base.

Needless to say, it would be dangerous for normal humans to perform such a feat but they were Mechanoids and there's equipment that enabled them to stay on the roof carriers. In fact, Click made some amendments to the roof carrier so that it not only could accommodate the Mechanoid sitting on it, it also ensured that it was sturdy enough to withstand their abrupt movements whenever necessary. Additionally, there were also ammunition clip slots on the roof carrier as well. To be able to get their ammunition clips easily was a neat feature but there is only so many the slots could hold. Still, it proved to be useful since the Mechanoids, unlike humans, based their actions on computed processes instead of muscle memory. But the coolest thing was that the roof had a quick 'pass me something' slot between the roof carrier and the cabin.

However, what amazed the squad was that Click was able to make the changes as they were refuelling the car. Diaz thought it was a waste of resources but Tellie and Yinn thought otherwise, thinking that even though it could just be using the vehicle for just a short duration, the improvements to the vehicle allowed them to be more versatile and responsive towards the threats. Page volunteered to be the lookout and in return, all she asked was to 'steal' a black cap and sunglasses from the grocery store within the refuelling station. Of course, Yinn had no qualms with that and even told her to grab some snacks while she was at it since a bit of munching would be useful in not just regaining energy but also helping pass the time. Of course, Page believed that they would be too busy trying to avoid the zombies that they would not have the time to do so. And it turned out to be true as the Grey Bear Squad had not only equipped themselves with their standard set of equipment but also added to their repertoire some silent weapons as well. Modern repeating crossbows and longbows were bought from the System's store and they had stocked up a load of arrows into the boot of the car as well. So even though they had Page as their look out, the other Mechanoids excluding the one that was not driving had been placed on sentry duties as well. It's not like they would shoot any zombie on sight but they would target those who were too close for comfort. But what was more amazing was that Click had added something at the front of the car. a lightweight but sturdy ramming head. It was designed similarly to a train's cow catcher just that it was designed just for the car. This was done so that whenever they crashed into a zombie, it would act as the car's bumper to divert the monster away from the car and not allow it to crash into their windscreen.

As to why Click made these many modifications despite the risk of losing it all when they encounter a special class zombie was mainly due to the fact that she did not want to stop half way just because their car had rolled over that many zombies. She rather take the chance of losing the modified car to a special class zombie along the way than keep switching cars because she did not make any modifications to the vehicle at all.

Not to mention, she had decided to take the wheel mainly due to the fact that she wanted to be in control of the said vehicle and modify the vehicle if needed as long as she was in possession of it due to the powers of the Necromechanoid living within her body. (Although, she could also do that while not driving at all so Click was merely creating an excuse in order to take the reins of the car. Maybe she merely wanted to crash and kill zombies whenever she could.)

So, with the newly modified vehicle and their 'next' level of preparedness, they were driven to the closest town that the highway had offered only to be welcomed by more zombies. From the occasional crossbow bolt into the zombie heads on the highway had turned into a battle of not being overwhelmed by the hordes of zombies. When they were a few minutes into the city, zombies were not just running after them not only due to the sounds they made but also their new activity to the mindless rotting flesh. (Though it was pretty obvious it was mainly due to the fact that their vehicle and gun shots were making too much noise for them to not ignore.)

Now the Grey Bear Squad understood why Jin wanted to create some sort of raids to clear the zombies out, especially in urban areas. Even in these slightly underdeveloped towns, the population of zombies was immense. Granted it might be due to the fact that they were in one of the more populated regions but it was still a harrowing experience to see that many attention hungry zombies trying to bite them despite the fact that they were not humans at all.

And that was when Click had decided to modify the car on the go as well, allowing it to spur fire utilising the gasoline that the car runs on. Obviously, when Yinn caught on, she quickly smacked her from the passenger seat and told her not to waste fuel so haphazardly. (However, she did inherently enjoy that initial burst of flames blowing it out from the sides of the car.)

It was only until midday the car finally gave way and they decided to run to the highest building in the town to get a good look at the situation they were in. After temporarily abandoning their vehicle, they quickly moved to clear a residential housing condominium. They were thankful not to encounter any special class zombies and the residential housing condominium had multiple gates that barred the regular class zombies from overwhelming them with their presence. That way, they were able to get to the highest floor without too much trouble and got an overview of the situation. "Enough scouting for now?" Click asked as she took pains to reinforce the gates they passed so that the zombies had difficulty overcoming them. Page and Diaz were firing at the Zombies, ensuring that they were defeated before anymore arrives to haunt them.

"Seems like a good place to stop and a decent place for the 24 men raid to start as well," Yinn commented as she found this particular penthouse for the Pandarens to commence their raid if Jin wished to use this town they were in. "But if you want to rest a while in this place, be my guest," Yinn added to her sentence when she saw that Tellie already had her sights locked and believed that she wanted to do some target practice from this height and comfort.

In the meantime, Diaz and Page had decided to hone their sniping skills with Tellie, their resident squad Sniper to make sure their skills were not 'rusty'. But Yinn and Click took the time to review the squad's stock of spare parts and ammunition wasted coming here though subsequently had printed an entire antenna tower so that the System could create a surveillance network of the entire area.
