Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

The drone's resolution was not sharp, at least not sharp enough to clearly make out each person's face when it couldn't take close-up shots.

Moreover, the orcs weren't entirely unaware of flying units in the air, and a drone that got too close could easily be shot down. Returning for repairs or replacements would have to come out of one's own pocket.

Bai E had no intention of using the drone for close-up photography.

Just a few hundred orcs, Bai E didn't mind testing his current skills.

Over the past few days, he had confirmed that the primary benefit of his newly acquired "Virtual World" was rapid mana recovery, but he didn't know if there was a limit.

Ordinarily without warfare, it was rare for him to have the opportunity to continuously deplete his Spiritual Energy multiple times. If possible, he wanted to test it out on this group of orcs.

"Hiss~" The car slowly came to a stop behind a small boulder, quite a distance away from the band of orcs.

The sliding door opened, and Bai E stepped down lithely. The car window rolled down, and Rose's face peeked out from inside, "Captain, are you sure you don't need our help?"

Bai E was rotating his arms to loosen his muscles. Hearing this, he turned his face slightly and gave a cool smile, "What help do you need to offer? Just wait here, I'll call you if there's anything."

As he spoke, he tapped the small black headset on his right ear and then strode towards the distance.

The metallic combat boots crunched over the gravel, his black combat suit stark against the reddish-brown Gobi desert.

He had left to accomplish a mission... of course, that was the way to put it for those back at the military camp.

After investigating and eradicating a suspicious insect activity site, the rest of his itinerary was entirely up to him, and naturally, after completing his mission, he expected to head towards Grey Iron City to see if he could rendezvous with the returning players.

Now, he hadn't encountered the players, but rather stumbled first upon a group of orcs that had taken human prisoners.

What could these orcs possibly want with human captives? Could it be they were after human teeth again?

The orcs he encountered last time had said the same thing—teeth were like the Blackwater coins of Blackwater City for them, a tradable currency.

Teeth were precious to humans in this era. Without a good set of teeth, a person's health would completely collapse within a few months.

Although orcs weren't archenemies to humans like insects and demons were, such vile behavior was still hard to forgive...

Bai E walked on, drawing his handgun from his waist and chambering a round with a "click."

Watching Bai E's lone figure departing, the four teammates muttered among themselves.

"That's hundreds of orcs there... Has the captain become this powerful after visiting the server ruins?" Stone mused, his face filled with wonder.

The captain was fierce alright, but even a few sandworms would leave him gasping for breath.

The threat of hundreds of orcs was far greater than a few sandworms. Could the captain really handle them alone?

"He seldom does anything without certainty," You said, her eyes slightly unfocused but reflecting a sliver of concern within those glassy pupils.

"I believe in the captain," Zero said, intently watching the drone's monitoring screen with calm, dogmatic faith.

Only Rose watched Bai E's receding silhouette, her eyes filled with fervent aspiration.

Getting stronger and stronger!

She often sparred with top fighters in the military camp, and not all her records were wins. Though not everyone in the camp was strong enough to overpower her, there certainly were some.

Yet over time, she had surpassed each one.

When it came to the pace of improvement, her progress astounded every fighter and even the officers she had crossed hands with.

However... as she kept on making mad progress, she couldn't even catch sight of Bai E's shadow anymore.

She couldn't imagine how she would combat hundreds of orcs with the abilities she had now.

But to Bai E, it seemed like a trivial matter, as casual as any other.

Just where was this guy's limit?

Not until Bai E's figure vanished from view did Rose turn her attention to the drone's monitoring screen.

The slightly blurry footage trembled, but thanks to the abundant daylight, the events unfolding were mostly visible—

The orc leader, nearly twice the height of an average human and the largest among them, was "interrogating" a few black dots that were humans.

Observing his continuous talking, it seemed like negotiations between the two parties had not been settled.

In the midst of this deadlock, a dark figure abruptly entered from outside the edge of the surveillance area.

"Bang!"

The sound of a gunshot exploded, echoing long and far over the empty land.

As the solitary figure approached, almost every person and orc jerked their heads towards the sound in unison.

'Who is this guy?'

'Where did this person come from?'

"What are you discussing? Mind if I join in?" The not-so-loud voice, amplified by Spiritual Energy, carried equally to everyone's ears.

Hearing this voice, Gong Yan, Kuang Xin, and the others were taken aback, then their faces swiftly brightened with surprise and joy.

The big guy!

Scimitar-faced Lao scratched his thick green forehead unconcernedly, not bothering to figure out where this newcomer had appeared from, vaguely gesturing with his hand behind him and not even uttering a sound.
