This game is so weird!

The giant dragon that had climbed onto the plaza steadied itself, took a deep breath, and roared towards the library entrance. The foul, murky air swept through the entire plaza and reached the second-floor terrace of the library, almost making Ye Yu vomit.

"Command center, this is Team D. A giant dragon has appeared at Dongzha Military Academy..."

Seeing that the orcs' attack had stopped, Dom, who had just walked from the stairwell to the terrace, looked at the giant dragon beast in the square and shouted in panic toward the communicator.

Before the center could reply, Marcus followed up with an even more direct and louder command: "Shoot its legs!"

At Marcus's command, the players, already accustomed to the rhythm of the Orc battlefield, quickly took cover and aimed their guns at the dragon beast's two thighs, which were as rough and hard as dry rhinoceros hide, covered with scars, festering pits, and even oozing mucus from some parts.

Under the barrage of assault rifle fire, the giant dragon only felt a slight itch on its legs. The bullets bounced off its tough skin, and only a few that hit old scars and ulcers caused a slight pain.

Annoyed by the beating, the giant dragon raised its foot and stomped down heavily.

The ground shook violently, and the shockwave kicked up a huge cloud of dust. Even the library trembled, and several round tables on the terrace toppled over.

As the dust settled, a crater-like footprint, more than half a meter deep, appeared beneath the giant dragon's feet, its edges marked by cracked floor tiles.

Under the control of the orc operator on its back, the enraged dragon suppressed its fury, crouched down on all fours, pressed its two front paws to its sides to stabilize itself, and exposed the cannon on its back.

The thickened and reinforced cannon barrel pointed directly at the library terrace.

"Danger! Retreat to the first floor."

After Marcus finished speaking and connected the communication, before he could even say anything, Anya's urgent voice came through the earpiece: "Marcus, the file download is complete, we can retreat now."

"Drive the troop carriers along Jianshe Road out of the city; reinforcements are already on their way!"

"receive."

After saying that, Marcus threw a fragmentation grenade, turned around and retreated. After catching up with the players and Dom ahead, he shouted, "Mission complete, let's go. Pick up Jack and retreat directly from the rear."

The fragmentation grenade exploded in mid-air, and the intense flames obscured the vision of the operator behind the giant dragon. By the time the smoke cleared and visibility returned, everyone on the terrace had long since disappeared.

An enraged operator pulled the launch lever, and with a deafening "Bang!!!!", a massive shell, 200 millimeters in diameter, shot out from the muzzle and struck the library's main building in the blink of an eye.

With a low, rumbling roar as it was launched, the shell traced a parabola through the air, wiping the tower containing the library's second-floor terrace from the ground with the devastation of a small meteorite impact.

Ye Yu, who had just run down the stairs, looked back at the clearly visible sky and the scattered wood chips, and swallowed hard.

That's incredibly powerful!

At this moment, the building began to shake rhythmically, accompanied by terrifying sounds of bones shattering and mud mixing, coming from the direction of the square. The shaking became more and more obvious.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

Rushing out the back door, blocked by the library building, the air felt fresher without the influence of the giant dragon's breath.

The two silver-gray Armadillo troop carriers, as their name suggests, lay on the ground like two armored armadillos. The six huge bulletproof tires were arranged in a four-in-the-front and two-in-the-rear configuration, and the armor on the surface of the vehicle was rounded and smooth, without any sharp edges.

Bard stood in front of two armadillo armored personnel carriers, suppressing the few Orcs that were sneaking over from both sides of the house. When he saw Marcus and the others coming out out of the corner of his eye, he quickly shouted.

Even though the library blocked his view, he could hear the dragon's roar clearly, which instantly brought back memories of the few times he had fought against the dragon on the battlefield over the years.

Every time, it took heavy firepower or support from the Dawn Hammer to kill this monster, and at great cost.

Without any support now, even if they all sacrificed themselves here, they wouldn't be able to seriously damage the tough-skinned giant dragon beasts, let alone with the massive orcish reinforcements.

One by one, the players were divided into two teams and entered the crew compartment from the front of the two armored personnel carriers. Bard looked at Marcus and Dom, who were the last to come out.

"Get in the car! We're heading out of the city."

Marcus nodded and replied, "Take Construction Avenue and leave Efila City directly."

"OK, I'll lead the way!"

After Bard finished speaking, he turned and entered the nearest Armadillo armored personnel carrier. Cole fired a shot to repel a wave of Orcs, then waved and climbed up to the machine gun position.

Marcus quickly climbed into the driver's seat of the other car and started the engine.

Robot Jack spewed flames as it accelerated into the robot protection bay at the stern of the Armadillo, where Marcus was located. Once it came to a stop, two thick armor plates that had opened to the left and right quickly closed, protecting Jack inside.

By this time, the giant dragon had already destroyed the library's main hall, rampaging and demolishing everything from the main entrance, and its head had already squeezed through a hole in the back wall of the library.

Dom raised his gun and fired a bullet at the helmet on the dragon's head. He quickly entered the crew compartment, closed the hatch, and then went to the Armadillo's machine gun position from the inside.

Seeing that everyone was in position, Bard took the lead in starting the Armadillo, smashing open the back door of the library and rushing out. Marcus followed closely behind, dodging the bullets fired by the dragon beast's machine gun with a beautiful tail drift, and rushed out of the library's courtyard gate, grazing the bullet trajectory.

"Ouch."

Inside the crew compartment, veteran Bin raised his hand to touch his head, which had slammed into the vehicle wall for the third time, and gripped the handrail tightly with his other hand. "I dare say the person who designed this thing never considered the word 'comfort'."

"Forget about comfort, I felt like I was sitting in a moving iron coffin."

Ye Yu, sitting next to me, also gripped the handrail tightly, not daring to move an inch.

Marcus's drifting motion almost threw him out, and after searching for a while without finding his seatbelt, he had to use his hands to hold himself in place.

"Or rather, a metal turtle with wheels."

"Haha," upon hearing Ye Yu and the others' words, Dom, in the machine gun position, fired some bullets at the giant dragon beast that was hot on their heels, then leaned into the cabin and laughed, saying, "But I must admit, its six wheels are more reliable than anything else when they're turning."

Ye Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

Indeed, compared to the cramped, stuffy, oily, and sweaty interior of the Armadillo, with its hard seats that could rub your buttocks raw, its layers of steel plates covered with rivets and heavy armor looked better than anything else in a world of ruins.

Looking out through that narrow bulletproof observation window, all the Orc bullets hitting it only produced annoying clanging noises. It might even give you the illusion that as long as you don't get out of the vehicle, nothing can hurt you.

The only problem is the giant dragon beast that is also incredibly fast on the wide road, keeping up with them.

No matter how sturdy the Armadillo is, it can't withstand a single kick from it. Once the Armadillo is caught up, it will truly become a mobile coffin.

Looking through the bulletproof window at the approaching giant dragon beast behind them, Zhan Di Lao Bin and Ye Yu exchanged a glance and swallowed hard.

Inside the Armadillo, which was running ahead, Little Black and Little White had already started taking out explosives such as power batteries and Im energy bottles from their backpacks, preparing to let the NPCs run away if all else failed, while they and the giant dragon beast exploded.
