This is an ancient-style chariot. Its bronze body is covered with rust from the passage of time, and many parts are incomplete. However, a few dark red bloodstains tell visitors that it is still as powerful as ever.
After adjusting the turret in front of the vehicle several times, the cannon barrel was aimed at the team members.
A purple light flashed inside the cannon barrel. The leader knew something was wrong and shouted for everyone to get out of the way: "Watch out for artillery fire!"
Upon hearing this, everyone scattered and stepped aside to avoid the position of the cannon. A few seconds later, a purple energy beam shot out from the cannon muzzle and landed where everyone had just been standing.
That spot was instantly ripped open by the energy pillar, creating an irregular crater.
The pristine floor was blasted into countless stone fragments, which stung everyone's faces as they were struck.
Seeing what happened to the floor sent chills down everyone's spines.
If I hadn't dodged in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Some people took advantage of the lulls in the tank attacks to gather information.

Looking at all this unknown information, the conclusion he reached made his scalp tingle, and he could only report it truthfully to the leader.
How do we fight this?
The leader remained silent for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly made a decision.
There's no way out; someone has already tried.
He countered each move with the self-tapping screws and told everyone the truth.
The team members are all around level 11 or 12, making it a pretty good team of 30.
The team's overall quality is higher than the average level, which is their advantage.
Let's do it!
The Paladin class can apply the Blessing of Might to melee classes, increasing their strength.
Other professions also unleashed their special skills, and colorful buffs bloomed above everyone's heads in an instant.
After the preparations were completed, the leader gave the shield guards a wink.
The shield guard immediately stepped forward and activated his taunt.
Unfortunately, the mechanical units seemed unaffected by the taunts, and the tanks continued to aim their cannons at the large number of people.
Fortunately, the energy pillars are not emitted indefinitely, and there are still skill intervals.
Some people calculated the interval between the two attacks, and nearly a minute had passed since the last energy beam was emitted.
After his taunts failed, the shield guard had no choice but to slash at the chariot with his sword, trying to draw aggro first.
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the force of the recoil made the shield guard's arm go numb.
Wow, it feels like it's made of pure metal.
This iron turtle is completely impossible to attack.
Some people risked their lives to climb onto the tank, trying to find an opening to pull the enemy out of the driver's compartment.
It was discovered that there were no hatches that could be opened on the vehicle body; the entire vehicle was a completely integrated unit.
In addition to artillery fire, it can also charge and attack.
The crew members on the roof were caught off guard and were thrown off the vehicle by the suddenly accelerating tank.
The tank retreated several meters, turned around, and charged directly at him.
The crew member was shocked. The tank turned too fast, leaving him no time to react. He barely managed to roll to the side and narrowly avoid being run over by the tank.
Before he could even catch his breath, amidst the gasps of the crowd, he saw the chariot grow infinitely larger in their eyes.
The rest of the team members watched helplessly as he was run over and crushed to death.
Everyone watched with trepidation; the sudden loss of personnel made them even more cautious.
Just when things were at a stalemate, things suddenly took a new turn.
After another energy pillar attack, a hatch suddenly opened at the rear of the vehicle, and dozens of infected crawled out.
The infected person attacked the crowd as soon as they landed on the ground.
Some people who were close to the tank noticed that the interior of the tank's open rear compartment was very soft, as if something was wriggling inside.
He risked being attacked by the infected and slashed towards the interior of the rear compartment of the tank.
Just as expected, a piece of the tank's inner wall was chopped off, spraying out a purplish-black liquid, and the entire tank let out a piercing scream.
The man was overjoyed and was thinking of continuing his efforts.
Unexpectedly, several purplish-black tentacles suddenly extended from inside the rear cabin, tightly binding the man. Caught off guard, he was instantly dragged into the rear cabin.
Everyone rushed to the rescue, but by the time they arrived, the rear hatch had already been closed.
Then everyone noticed that the light indicating that person was still alive had gone out on the team channel.
His death also led everyone to think of a way to defeat it: wait for it to open its rear compartment again and then attack its soft spots.
However, one thing to note is that these extra infected individuals must be eliminated before it reopens the hatch, and the energy impact and crushing force of the tank must be prepared in time.
But it's easier said than done.
The tanks didn't care about the lives of the infected. While the infected were entangled with the group members, they fired a cannon directly, bombarding the infected along with them.
While its energy bombardment isn't an instant-kill skill, players' health isn't high enough to withstand it, and they'll be instantly killed by the energy impact.
The same applies to overwhelming attacks; after one round, the team lost seven more members.
This also leads to a vicious cycle.
Even if there are fewer living people, so many infected people will still emerge. If the people don't clear the infected people in time, it will waste the time that the tanks can use to attack them when they open the hatch.
The result is that the number of infected people increases until everyone is tied down by them. They are either killed by the infected, or hit or crushed to death by the energy cannons of the tanks.
Moreover, this is a one-life mode; once you start exploring, it's over. You either defeat the boss or the whole party is wiped out; there's no chance to start over.
This team figured this out at the cost of their lives.
Unfortunately, the purple light shield isolated everything inside, so even if there were other teams outside, they couldn't see what was happening inside.
There was no way to convey this information to future generations for reference.
Without any members left, even with the best equipment, the leader could not escape annihilation and was beaten to death by the energy pillar of the tank.
At this point, none of the thirty-person team survived.
After all the infected were retrieved, the tank emitted a golden light and upgraded.
The upgraded vehicle did not disappear on the spot; it crashed headlong into the protective shield, seemingly trying to escape.
Unfortunately, the protective shield was so powerful that its forceful impact bounced back as if it had hit a spring.
It roared in frustration, repeatedly ramming against the protective shield, but to no avail.
Finally, a magic circle was formed beneath its feet, and it disappeared into the magic circle with resentment.
After it disappeared, the protective shield on the square was also removed in an instant.
The square returned to its usual tranquility, except for the bloodstains on the ground that proved someone had been there.
Everything was as if nothing had happened, peaceful and serene.
If you look down from high above, you can see Liu Nian walking towards this place. I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when they meet.
