This game is so weird!

When Ye Yu turned off the power at Mu Yu's call, Black Duck had become charred black, just like the female orc. In fact, according to the players who rushed to its aid, Black Duck was much crispier than the female orc.

With heavy hearts, Ye Yu and Mu Yu packed up Hei Ya's still relatively intact backpack, lifted him and the female beastman together and placed them on the elevator platform, preparing to take them back together later.

During this process, Marcus and Bud went up to them and offered a few words of comfort.

It's all too common for new recruits to die unexpectedly on the battlefield. In their view, after more than two days of continuous fighting, the survival rate of these five teams was already quite surprising.

They truly lived up to their reputation as extraterrestrial reinforcements; their combat awareness and fighting spirit far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Under Marcus's guidance, the players, still somewhat bewildered, followed him through a simple farewell ceremony for the deceased Black Duck before embarking on their journey once more.

Passing through the blood-stained passage, one can still see the mutilated corpses of laborers and orc soldiers from time to time. These are probably the corpses of their kind that the berserk female orcs did not have time to avoid when they rushed into the cave where the elevator was located.

With the female orcs clearing the area, the players smoothly passed through the passage and entered the next, more spacious underground area.

The rest area is marked as a natural cave that served as a temporary storage warehouse.

Upon reaching the cave, the group discovered that it was no longer what the map depicted.

Upon entering the cave, one is immediately struck by the translucent insect eggs covering the floor and the enormous egg pods hanging from the walls. A few eggs have already hatched into larvae, and slimy insects are crawling around them. Many more eggs are still rising and falling slowly with each breath. Several orc soldiers are moving through the gaps between the eggs, carrying buckets to replenish the raw materials for the machines scattered throughout the cave.

Clearly, this was no ordinary orc lair, but an incubation factory with terrifying industrial characteristics.

Seeing the cave teeming with basketball-sized larvae and various insect eggs, Ye Yu's face turned green.

"We...we're not going to go down there, are we?"

Marcus's face was stiff and expressionless, but his eyes twitched slightly, clearly indicating that he also found the cave troublesome.

"There are too many insects, it's too risky to go down." Bard crouched behind the rock and peered out to count the number of orcs and insects inside the cave for a while before turning back to Marcus and saying.

"It's best to find another way to get there."

Marcus remained silent, his sharp gaze sweeping across the cavern. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he pointed to a protruding rock fault on the cave wall not far away, stretching all the way to the end of the cavern at about half its height.

The path formed by the fault is about one person wide, with only a few egg pods hanging on it.

"We'll sneak past here."

"As long as we don't alert the beastmen below, there shouldn't be a big problem."

Upon hearing Marcus's proposal to risk infiltrating, Bard and Night Rain exchanged glances. It was clearly not a good idea, but it was still much better than going through the insect egg factory.

At this moment, Muyu, who was checking the Black Duck's backpack from behind, crouched down and quickly walked up.

"We can skip class in this dungeon. If we blow up the cave, they'll all be wiped out."

"what?"

"No, how will we get over if it's blown up?"

Seeing that Marcus and Night Rain did not understand what he meant, Muyu squatted down beside them and pointed to the thick stalactite columns on the top of the cave.

The densely packed stone cones resemble a large mouth full of fangs, pointing straight at the cave floor.

"After we climbed up the path, we blew up these stalactites, and then rushed over in the chaos."

"I just checked my and Black Duck's backpacks and found some power batteries and oxygen cylinders inside. The power batteries have a lot of explosive power. We tied the batteries and oxygen cylinders together and used an impact cannon to fire them into the middle of the rock cone to detonate them, causing the cave ceiling to collapse and bury this hatchery."

"Will we run out of explosives?" Ye Yu was a little worried. She hadn't expected that the power batteries and oxygen tanks would have this function on this trip. Many players hadn't brought these things.

At this moment, Little Black slowly moved up and pointed to several stone pillars on the top of the cave, saying, "We don't need too many explosives. Based on the power of the battery explosion just now, as long as we detonate them around these stone pillars, a chain reaction will cause a whole bunch of stone cones around them to fall down."

"I used to work on directional blasting at construction sites. I just used a headset terminal to assist with the calculations, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"That's settled then." Marcus nodded. As long as the blast radius was calculated, they could cover the orcs' passage while eliminating them, and even reduce a lot of trouble when returning after completing the mission.

Otherwise, with so many orcs left here, they might be attacked from both sides when they detonate the resonator and return. If the path is also blocked, they will truly be trapped with nowhere to go.

With the plan finalized, Marcus and White Cat led the warriors of the Gears squad and other players along the path ahead. Night Rain, Wooden Fish, Little Black, and two other players collected four impact cannons and oxygen tanks from the team, preparing to carry out the demolition plan after they left.

Muyu put down four power batteries, helped weld the batteries and oxygen cylinders together in pairs, and then climbed up the trail to leave with the group ahead.

Since the demolition team needed to run away quickly after detonating the explosives to catch up with the team ahead, several players wearing heavy armor were not suitable for this mission. Fortunately, there were no contribution points for killing enemies in the scene, and there were quite a few players with shock cannons, so they were able to gather four people to carry out the mission.

After the main force had left the path, the four members of Night Rain, carrying the power battery bomb, lowered their pace and slowly made their way to the highest point in the center of the path, where they lined up and squatted down.

"Are you all aimed?"

Little Black lowered his voice and said, "Have you found all the targets we assigned before?"

"Aimed."

"Okay." "Found it."

Three equally deep voices quietly replied.

"OK, then 3, 2, 1, fire!"

Four battery-powered bombs were launched under the control of the impact cannon, hitting the base of four stone pillars respectively. The oxygen tank exploded first, detonating the bullets welded to the battery. The bullets then detonated and pierced the battery, causing it to explode.

Thick smoke and sparks appeared simultaneously, and the massive explosion instantly shattered the stone pillar. As the surrounding rock strata collapsed, countless stalactite cones broke in the middle and plunged into the ground.

The orc soldiers, insects, and insect eggs on the ground were pierced by the stone spikes before they could react, and one by one they were driven into the ground.

Those orcs who did not die immediately let out miserable howls, and the hatched larvae crawled around like headless flies, eventually being buried by the collapsing rocks.

"Run! Run!"

After the explosives were fired, Xiao Xiao Hei, who had been running wildly towards the end of the path, finally had a chance to slow down and take a look at the situation. Just as he had predicted, the collapse of the cave caused by the explosion buried most of the ground at the bottom. The ground was covered with messy rocks, and disgusting green slime was flowing out from the cracks in the rocks. From a distance, it looked like grass growing between the rocks.
