This game is so weird!

Shortly after the four giant raven helicopters left, a massive explosion occurred in the canyon where the train crashed, and the shockwave from the explosion caused the helicopters, which had already flown some distance away, to shake violently.

Ye Yu gripped the handles inside the helicopter cabin tightly with one hand, and with the other hand grabbed a wounded member of the security government alliance lying on the ground, her heart filled with lingering fear.

Wow, I was really brave to stay behind and cover for a corpse!

If it were to fall in by accident, even the dust would be scattered.

The others on the helicopter were also terrified. They had just stopped at the broken bridge for a while to watch the final "scene" of the Taro Pillar maglev train.

If I hadn't gotten bored later on and moved on faster, I probably would have been blown to the ground by the shockwave.

The oppressive emotions were only relieved after crossing the desert and returning to the outskirts of the city.

Unfortunately, the relief was short-lived. A huge white halo swept across the ground, followed by a series of muffled thuds from underground. A hurricane carrying thick water mist blew the helicopter far away, nearly causing it to crash to the ground.

Two Meow and several other pilots struggled to pull up the Giant Raven helicopter, and thanks to the Giant Raven's powerful performance, they barely managed to control the situation.

The terrified players dared not linger and quickly headed towards the base after reconfirming its location.

On the contrary, a rare smile appeared on Marcus's face.

The four helicopters successfully flew over the suburbs and returned to the newly built town on the edge of the mining area, where they landed slowly on the mission navigation helipad.

"Welcome back, explorers."

"Welcome back, Team D."

"Jacinto is saved."

Li Ang and Anya, who had been waiting there, quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Marcus and the players one by one with smiles on their faces.

The already-positioned medical personnel from the Security Government Alliance and the cleaning players who had been assigned temporary tasks rushed forward, carrying the wounded onto stretchers and heading towards the newly established medical camp not far away.

After the injured passengers left the train, Anya looked at the crowd with a serious expression.

"Thanks to everyone's heroic efforts, we were able to successfully cripple the Orcs."

"but……"

Squad D and Anya arrived at the operations room of the office. A clear 3D image was already playing on the operations table. Looking at the familiar images of the city of Efila, Marcus subconsciously frowned.

His brows furrowed even more when he saw the humanoid female orc frozen on the screen, his eyebrows almost touching.

"Who is this female orc? Are there any orcs that look so human?"

Black Duck squeezed to the front row, peeking through the gap between Marcus and Dom at the female orc on the screen, and asked curiously, "Are there any furry female orcs who are just like humans except for their ears and tails?"

"I don't think so..."

Anya thought carefully for a moment before answering, "There are currently no relevant records."

"Eh—" (very loudly)

"Smack!" "Ouch!"

Er Miao, who was standing on the other side, moved over, took out a bundle of cloth from her pocket, and slapped it on the head of the rambling Black Duck.

"Anya, don't worry about him, let's continue."

"Hmm," Anya glanced gratefully at Er Miao. Even after so many days, she was still not used to the players' unconventional thinking, and out of respect, she didn't want to interrupt.

"This is a video that Queen Mira of the Orcs sent after the photon missiles exploded, which was hacked into the screens of the city of Efila."

"Queen!" "Hmm!?"

The black duck, which had been squealing excitedly, stopped making a sound when it was intimidated by Er Miao's glare, and made a zipping motion in front of its mouth.

At the same time, Li Ang walked in from outside the door, leaned against the wall by the door, crossed his arms and looked thoughtfully at the orc queen in the center of the projection.

Under his direction, a small drone flew to the center of the war room, broadcasting the scene live to all players simultaneously, while forcing the players present to mute and wait for the video to play.

Seeing that the players had quieted down, Anya clicked play.

The footage from the projected Efila city cameras suddenly flickered, and the figure of Queen Mira of the Orcs appeared, her voice icy: "You thought it was over? This is just the beginning. Your victory has only locked you in an even bigger cage."

After he finished speaking, the screen on the downtown commercial building flickered and then went back to black.

The COG warriors and players present frowned. Although they knew that it would be difficult to wipe out all the Orcs with just a few bombs, even hydrogen bombs, the fact that they couldn't even eliminate the Orc high command still disappointed them.

Not to mention, the enemy's big boss even jumped out and declared war in such a high-profile manner.

Marcus's expression turned cold again as he stared at the screen and said in a low voice, "We have to find her... and end all of this."

After the video finished playing, Li Ang's drone stopped and resumed broadcasting. The players regained their mobility, and Black Duck, who had been holding back for a while, was the first to chime in:

Where is the Orc Queen?

Li Ang glanced at Black Duck following the sound, and felt that there was something slightly off about the excitement on his face.

"Their location has not yet been found. It is certain that the Orcs suffered heavy casualties in this operation. Several core lairs and most of the enemy forces have been destroyed. Even the Orcs that invaded Efila have retreated."

Anya shook her head, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly. "The Orcs have already abandoned the Jacintu Plateau. According to the information Colonel Hoffman relayed from the front lines, even the underground fissures deep within the granite layer have been sealed off by the Orcs' burrowing beasts."

"So what do we do next?"

"We've won, at least for now."

Anya shook her head. "According to the arrangement of the chairman of the Security Government Alliance, our next step is to reclaim the area of ​​the Jaxintu Plateau that has been invaded by the beastmen and restore production as soon as possible."

"But the orcs have completely left the Jaxintu Plateau, and we don't know what will happen next. They may send a small number of elite teams to explore underground and find new orc lairs."

"But in any case, there won't be any more large-scale battles."

"Peace has been restored to the Jacinto Plateau."

After speaking, Anya looked at Marcus and the players, and bowed slightly. "Thank you for your contributions. The Security Government Alliance will remember you."

"Tonight, Colonel Hoffman will be here in person on behalf of the Security Government Alliance to celebrate this hard-won victory with you all and to present the Photon Operation Medal to all those who participated in the operation."

"Waaaaaah!!!!"

"Yay, it's a medal!!"

The twenty new players cheered happily; they had been envious of the medals awarded to the first batch of players for a long time.

It was just a souvenir in the game and a forum icon, which was fine at first, but last night I suddenly discovered that even the appearance of the game's friend list and chat box had changed, and everything looked different instantly.

This is a game skin! Even if it's just a UI skin, I have to get one for myself!

After the excitement subsided, Li Ang and the players said goodbye to Anya and Marcus and left the room, leaving the others behind for an internal discussion within the Security Government Alliance.
