"The Woods seem even further away, I'll need transport" Steve complained as he descended to the ground.
[Geo-sense]
A subtle light burst out from under his feet and spread out as several locations around him shone green and Information flooded his mind.
"Stand back" Steve commanded before reaching for the ground as several liquid metal-like substances began flowing out of the ground.
They gathered together before they began taking shape, Steve immediately threw in three of the mana stones he had harvested from the Boss room.
At the same time too, he also added in a control chip he modified. Soon a huge vehicle was standing before him.
Its tires glowed blue suggesting that they were made of mana, due to the large tires and the suspension, it was at least five (5) inches off the ground.
It was a massive truck, black, mighty and seemed to be for military use. It was designed with only three things in mind, space, safety and speed.
The Orbs that floated above his head quickly flew out as they attached themselves to several groves on top of the vehicle. From which they can protect the vehicle
"Everyone get in, let's go" Steve ordered as the Automata quickly began to get in.
Steve went in last before a soft hum was heard from the vehicle before it began moving. It was fast but not astonishingly so.
Steve on the other hand was within the truck, sitting on the driver's seat or what would have been the driver's seat. He sat there simply resting as he watched the vehicle drive.
The vehicle was an Automata so there was no need for a driver, he just needed to tell it where to go and it would drive there. The interior of the truck didn't have much to it.
It wasn't designed for comfort even if its available features were very comfortable to use.
As the journey continued, they would at times hear the sound of explosions but Steve chose to ignore it all. Each one was the demise of either a golem or a random creature that tried attacking them.
An hour later, they finally entered the Icy biome. It was exactly as Steve expected and it was freezing cold. Thankfully the truck had [Thermoregulation IV] which allowed it to continue on without any problems.
"Okay, we're here, all combat types, outside, we strike hard and fast, I need to leave this place by next tomorrow" Steve commanded as they all nodded before getting down from the truck.
None felt the cold, Steve had his suit which helped him regulate the cold he felt while the Automata were stones. They couldn't feel it at all.
As soon as they came down, the Automata immediately vanished before his eyes as they spread out to quickly conquer the place.
Steve himself returned to the truck as it continued moving forward towards the boss room.
He felt everything in the hands of the Automata. It wasn't like he was leveling up with each kill, he didn't need to do it himself.
[Mr Grant, are you there?] The Inspector's voice came again after so long
"I am"
