This game is so weird!

The team headed north and soon circled around the small hill, then, led by Bard, circled around to another entrance of the small energy plant.

"hidden!"

Using his headset to signal the player to take cover, Bard scratched his ear uncomfortably and leaned against the steps behind cover, saying to Leon, "The Lycia Im Energy Plant is huge; most of the area was occupied by the Orcs after the war."

"What we're seeing now is just a small energy processing plant on the outskirts, still some distance from the core. We'd better not venture too far in."

Looking at the endless factories and chimneys emitting yellow smoke on the plains at the end of his field of vision, Li Ang nodded.

With such a large area, the less than three hundred players behind them wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the orcs' teeth.

"The source of the interference is right below this energy plant. We need to act quickly and decisively, without triggering a reaction from the Orcs in the core area of ​​the energy plant."

Pointing to the interference source information on the radar map, Li Ang shared the location with Bard and the other two, and then guided them to switch their voice to the mission channel.

"This is it, Alpha Squra, charge!"

After confirming that the voice channel was working, Bard shouted in the mission channel and led the charge, taking down the Orc sentry with a burst of bullets.

Seeing this, Li Ang called out to the players who hadn't reacted yet, and they rushed forward.

"Explorers, follow me!"

"Holy crap! This NPC is running way too fast, how am I supposed to protect him?"

"Hurry, hurry! Each orc soldier costs at least 500, don't let the NPCs wipe them all out!"

"Charge!"

Players who were still waiting for the storyline to unfold suddenly swarmed forward, turning into a torrent and rushing in through all the passages, instantly leaving Team A and Li Ang, who were carefully maneuvering between various covers, behind.

"Well……"

Li Ang was at a loss for words. He had finally gotten to experience the joy of annihilating the beastmen, but...

Bard was at a loss for words. As an elite soldier, he had always been at the forefront of the battlefield, and this was the first time he had been left behind by the army.

With a helpless shrug, Li Ang stood up and led the way into the energy plant through the passage. The three members of Team A put away their guns and followed. However, unlike the relaxed Li Ang, the three of them were constantly on guard, keeping an eye out for any possible ambushes along the way.

As you continue down the passage, you can occasionally see players dragging orc corpses back or scattered limbs on the ground, splattered with blood.

Bard's eyes twitched; it was clear that the pile of limbs had been sawed apart by the chainsaws of the cavalry assault rifles. He could even imagine the despair of that orc infantryman being cut in half by four or five chainsaws at the same time.

Soon the four of them arrived at the bottom of the energy plant and saw that the players were blocked by a huge monster and were in a fierce battle.

"A burrowing beast!"

Bard instinctively shouted, preparing to call for his teammates to take cover, but quickly realized that there were hundreds of friendly soldiers crammed into the cave, making it impossible to escape.

The players had the same thought, though their thoughts were much simpler. Apart from a few players wondering if such a large shield claw would taste good, the other players all had one thought—they've encountered a BOSS, let's fight!

The intense firepower pinned the burrowing beast down in the center of the cave, rendering it unable to move. Every time it moved its shield claws that were in front of it, a barrage of bullets would hit its face, causing it to roar in anger.

The orc soldiers and laborers who were supposed to provide fire support and cover were already lying on the ground, and those who were close by were crushed into mincemeat by the burrowing beasts.

"this......"

"Holy crap! How many bullets are we going to waste?!"

Not noticing Bard's speechless state, Li Ang's only thought as he watched the scene in Infinite Fire was to feel sorry for his materials.

Such a waste! We'll run out of bullets in no time.

Sure enough, the firepower below paused as soon as Li Ang finished speaking.

A dozen or so arrogant players who were standing in front, firing sideways, pulled the trigger, but not a single bullet was fired.

"Oh no, this is going to be bad..."

Before the Black Duck at the front could finish speaking, the burrowing beast, sensing an opportunity, lunged forward. Its claws, shattered by bullets, slammed into the center of the cave, smashing several players into pieces.

"Damn it!" Bard muttered under his breath, skillfully raising his gun and firing.

The burrowing beast, terrified of being beaten, held its scarred shield feet in front of it to shield its vulnerable body.

Just when Bard thought the players in the center would escape under cover of fire, an unexpected scene unfolded. Five players pulled the chainsaws of their cavalry assault rifles, circled around the shield's feet, and slashed hard at the belly of the burrowing beast.

"Gahh ...

The burrowing beast let out an unprecedented scream, ignoring the bullet defense, and swung its smaller shield feet inward to shove the players around it. Before the players could get up, it used its longer, more aggressive shield claws to stab them to death one by one.

As the claws swung, blood could be seen flowing freely from the burrowing beast's abdomen, with even a few internal organs spilling out of the wound.

Under the astonished gazes of Bard and his companions, the players scattered around the cave suddenly brightened up and rushed forward like madmen.

"The boss is losing health, it's about to die!!"

Ye Yu shouted and charged forward from the side, firing his chainsaw. He deliberately circled halfway around the battlefield before attacking the burrowing beast from behind. While the beast was engaged in a fierce battle with the players in front, he leaped onto its back and slashed down hard with his chainsaw.

"Gah—" As if a nerve had been injured, the burrowing beast paused, and several players squeezed through the gaps in its claws and then used chainsaws to cut its body.

By the time the burrowing beast realized what was happening, it was already surrounded by excited players, who were using chainsaws to carve arcs across its body.

The burrowing beast struggled backward, stabbing a few more unlucky players to death before finally collapsing to the ground, unable to get up.

[Defeat the Burrowing Beast, Contribution Points +10000]

[Participate in defeating the Burrowing Beast, contribution points +1000]

[Assist in defeating the Burrowing Beast, Contribution Points +100]

"Yay!!!! We've made our money back!!!" The player who successfully participated in the kill with the chainsaw gun shouted happily. The players who participated in the shooting with bullets in the early stage also shouted that it was worth it. They had made back the cost of the ammunition. Even the dead players received the kill assistance reward, which can be considered as making back the resurrection fee.

After picking up their dead friend's gun from the ground, many players happily rushed to a small hole at the far end, quickly killing the immobile Pregnant One hiding inside and disabling the communication interference.

Looking at the excited players below the cave, Bard remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter, "What kind of monsters are you? Aren't you all running away...?"

"Haha," Li Ang, standing to the side, laughed happily, "We are pioneers from the planet Scars!"

The base dispatched fully armed cyborg guards to take over the Im Energy Plant. Li Ang led the excited players back to the base. The player corpses and orc corpses that were relatively well-preserved after their sacrifice were all packed into body bags sponsored by veteran players and carried away by the players' friends or the killers.

Back at the base, amidst cheers from the other players who hadn't participated in the battle, the team slowly walked through the gate.

In a corner not far away, groups of homeless people gathered, watching the excited procession with surprise, a strange sense of security welling up inside them. A short figure stared blankly at the gate, holding the hand of an even shorter companion, standing at the back of the crowd, a glimmer of hope appearing in their tired eyes beneath their hood.
