This game is so weird!

The swarming orc laborers quickly appeared on the rock wall above the elevator and jumped down onto the platform where the elevator was located.

Every now and then, a conscript who had fallen and failed to jump onto the platform would let out a mournful howl, which would last for several seconds before disappearing.

Upon seeing this, Marcus, White Cat, and the others who were crouching at the cave entrance immediately opened fire downwards, striking the rock walls and the conscripts in mid-air. They did not aim to kill them with a single blow; any hit could potentially send them tumbling off the cliff.

As the battle intensified, players kept taking out ammunition from their backpacks and distributing it to the COG soldiers around them, barely managing to maintain the effect of fire support.

As the elevator continued to descend, the firepower from the top of the mine could no longer cover the rock walls at the bottom. The trajectory of bullets flying to the bottom of the mine was difficult to predict with aim. In order not to accidentally hit their teammates, the soldiers at the top had stopped firing.

The pressure on the players on the elevator platform is also increasing. Originally, they only needed to attack the raiders and defend against a small number of laborers who hadn't been killed and jumped onto the platform, but now they have to deal with attacks from both at the same time.

Fortunately, with the passage of time, the raiding beasts have been almost completely wiped out, with only a few escaping and still swimming in the distance.

Seeing the humans on the elevator platform struggling to cope with the conscripts, a predator opened its tentacles and sprayed a stream of gas backward through the air, heading straight for the wooden fish that was fighting with a conscript.

Just then, a pale blue streak pierced the darkness, running from the top of the mine shaft through the entire passage, striking the predator that had extended its tentacles in preparation for an attack.

"Bang!!!"

The belated gunshots finally rang out, mingling with the explosions of the raiding beasts.

Blood and scum splattered across the elevator platform, staining the white armor of several players crimson. Before the orcs could catch their breath, two more pale blue beams of light flashed, and the remaining two raiding beasts followed suit, turning into bloody fireworks and disappearing without a trace.

Only then did Ye Yu, who was lying on the top of the mine shaft, breathe a sigh of relief, pull the sniper rifle that was hanging in the mine shaft back, and breathe rapidly.

Only then did the sniper rifle he had seized from the orc sniper demonstrate its power for the first time.

After a while, Ye Yu, having recovered, took out sniper rifle bullets from her spatial backpack, filled the magazine, and then fell into deep thought as she looked at the few remaining sniper bullets.

I wonder how much the guild will sell this thing for, it's so useful!

After the raiders were wiped out, the battlefield quickly became a stalemate. The remaining beastmen laborers roared after realizing that their attack had failed. Those laborers who had already climbed onto the elevator began a frantic counterattack, while those still on the cliff face hopped and leaped down to escape. Soon after, they slipped away through the underground passage and disappeared from sight.

Once the elevator reached the bottom of the mine, Muyu took a deep breath, calmed his heartbeat, and said:

"Give first aid to the injured. Those who are in better condition, come with me to check this area, and then send the elevator back so that Ye Yu and the others can come down."

The group split into twos and searched the small cavities at the bottom of the mine. The orcs had retreated thoroughly. Apart from a few laborers who fell later and were not killed on the spot because of the corpses of their own kind, they did not find any other orcs.

They gathered the several crippled conscripts together and ended their suffering with an alloy plate. Wooden Fish glanced at the deep underground passage and told the players still near the elevator to raise their platforms and report the news.

A short while later, the elevator came down again.

Before the platform could even come to rest and stabilize itself, Marcus jumped down, kicked a beastman corpse blocking his way, and walked toward the wooden fish standing at the entrance of the passage.

The players who came down from behind hurriedly inspected the orc corpses on the ground one by one, lifting the ones that were still relatively intact and placing them on the elevator, preparing to transport them up first and take them with them when they evacuated.

"Well done, Octopus Man."

Marcus walked over to the wooden fish, patted the armor that was stained red with beast blood and was somewhat deformed, and said seriously, "You guys are indeed useful."

"Hehe, that's for sure!"

Muyu said happily, and after trying several times, he finally took off his helmet. The metal plate attached to the diving helmet was a bit deformed and stuck on his chin, making him very uncomfortable.

As Muyu put the deformed helmet back into his backpack, he was about to speak when a huge roar came from inside the passage, accompanied by a foul-smelling gust of air that almost made him vomit.

"Holy crap! What is this thing?!"

"This is……"

After the roar, heavy footsteps became increasingly clear in the passage. Marcus frowned, then suddenly realized what was happening and shouted.

"It's a Berserker!!! Hide!"

"It's blind, so if it doesn't make a sound, it won't be noticed!!"

The heavy, rapid footsteps grew closer and closer. Soon, a red giant, more than two meters tall, rushed out and only stopped when it crashed into the rock wall, kicking up a pile of rubble and dust.

Ye Yu held her breath, huddled in a corner next to the giant, cursing inwardly, and dared not move.

What luck! I deliberately hid in the back, how come this thing still rushed straight to the very end? In a normal game, shouldn't it stop in the middle of the mine and roar to announce the arrival of the BOSS?

The berserk female orc who had crashed into the wall shook her head, spun around in place, opened her crimson maw, and let out a huge roar towards the center of the cave.

"roar----"

Ye Yu slowly raised her head, and the first thing she saw was a shocking red.

The female orc's muscles were taut, her abdomen glowed slightly, and her body was covered with red muscles and thick white tendons. Her skinless body was covered with viscous secretions, making it difficult to discern any female characteristics. If Marcus hadn't mentioned its name earlier, Night Rain would have thought it was a genderless bio-giant.

Several thick chains were wrapped around the female orc's body, and a severed arm was stuck in one of the chains. The severed arm was still dripping blood, and several fingers were stuck tightly in the gaps of the chain's buckles. One could imagine the despair of this conscript when his arm was torn off.

A huge metal collar was worn around her neck, and above that was a blind face.

The berserk female orc had no eyes; all Ye Yu could see was a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, and several breathing holes that replaced its nose, probably the key to its ability to track prey.

Looking at the skinned, muscular, berserk female orc in front of him, Ye Yu swallowed hard.

Hearing what seemed like sounds around her, the female orc opened her breathing holes, took a deep breath, and suddenly turned towards the direction of Night Rain, letting out a silent, gaping laugh.

Just as Ye Yu reached into her side bag with her right hand, preparing to pull out a spiked grenade for a desperate fight, Black Duck, not far away, suddenly stood up and fired a burst of bullets at the female orc.

At the same time, they excitedly shouted, "Let's raid the boss! Tank, move forward and hold it!"

Muyu covered his face with his hands, speechless, and stood up as well. "Never mind."

"Armored player, follow me! Let's split up and kite it!"

Marcus, who was hiding behind the elevator, was scouting the terrain and trying to find a way to deal with the female orc when he suddenly saw the players standing up excitedly. He was completely dumbfounded.

Why did the fight suddenly start?

How did these friendly forces, who were just so intelligent and brave, suddenly become so reckless?
