Trouble is, it may be both a supply run and the Battle of Twilight Gap. Or, perhaps, the first Nexus Road War. Furiosa is all too aware that breaking through the line doesn't mean they won't be pursued, that conquering pursuit doesn't mean they won't meet a whole new line of resistance closer to the Plaza, and that when they hit the safety of the torches--assuming their magic holds--they won't continue to be under siege afterwards.

She switches the flare gun for the Glock again, and while she's focusing on the drive, she's not too shy to fire off potshots at anything in her way. She'll blithely plow over the dregs.
"Keep on the ones on our tail," she tells Kinner as they break free. Her shoulder's bleeding but it's nothing as far as she's concerned, storm-green eyes bright and feverish with adrenaline as she surveys the landscape ahead and pushes the vehicle for all it's worth. "Watch for anything coming up from the side."
She's choosing her path, taking steep open ground rather than risking going past anywhere that might provide shelter for an ambush. But even without Blaze and Ghost's orders, she's dead-set on her job now. She stopped for Kinner once, but she can't let herself worry about anyone else, certainly not anyone out of her reach. All she can do is fang it and let the snowmobile fly across the icy ground.
Dimly she's aware of Josh catching up behind them, but the fact that he threw them a gun tells her he's in no shape to fire on their behalf. Still, he's a pair of eyes.
"Kinner, tell the escort bike there to watch our 3 and 9 if he can," she says. She can't take the time to turn up and back and shout.
