Life Dungeon Game

As he came out, he saw He Ao pull the short sword from his teammate's corpse.

Without any hesitation, he immediately took a worker who was also using the toilet hostage and tried to threaten He Ao.

He glanced at him and switched the Butcher Pistol to pistol mode.

Pena's mercenaries all share the same characteristics: bloodthirstiness, cruelty, and an unusual disregard for life.

Raise your hand and fire.

boom--

The mercenary fell to the ground, his bright red blood splattering all over the face of the worker he had taken hostage.

"what!"

Sensing the person behind him falling, the worker gently touched his wet cheek and then glanced at the blood that covered his entire palm.

In a panic, he ran away into the distance, stumbling several times and nearly falling.

He Ao did not chase after him, but continued into the depths of the night.

The dark red patterns on the butcher's pistol shimmered with an eerie glow; if this gun were a greedy diner, it must have had a very good meal today.

As a result, He Ao felt an increasing affinity for the gun.

He just took care of the last remaining squad scattered outside.

Pena had clearly discovered that Heo was attacking Luo's isolated squad, so he ordered all the mercenaries to regroup in front of the administration building.

He Ao walked silently along the path between the factories.

At this time of day, all the factories are running at full speed, and the roaring sounds echo in every corner. It's rare to see workers walking on the road.

Compared to the noise from the massive machinery in the factory, the gunfire between Heo and the mercenaries was like the explosion of small firecrackers.

But this road won't always be deserted.

As night deepens, the time for the night shift change is approaching, and the entire factory will be filled with workers arriving for work or just finishing their shifts.

With too many workers, there is a risk of accidental injury, which could lead to riots and disrupt the rhythm of the battle.

This is not a good thing for either Heo or Pena.

Pena's refusal to order a shutdown, leaving workers as leverage against Heo, may be one reason, but a more important reason is probably that he simply didn't have the right to shut down the factory, nor did he dare to.

Many machines in the factory cannot be stopped.

Once these machines are shut down, restarting them requires far more resources than when they were running, and all of these resources cost money.

In addition, as long as the factory is operating, it means there is output. Stopping production means that there is no output, and costs such as labor and land rent still need to be paid, which are losses.

For conglomerates, losses are more terrifying than death. They can't target Heo, who has already lost everything, but they can target Pena, who works for the conglomerate.

Therefore, Pena dared not let the factory stop production, or even let a riot break out in the factory that would cause the workers to stop working.

Therefore, He Ao is now almost certain that Pena is even more anxious than he is at this moment.

After all, Pena didn't know if Joey, who had nothing, would care about the lives of the workers, but he absolutely couldn't let the factory shut down because of the riots caused by the fight with Heo.

Heo had already arrived at the place where Pena's mercenaries were gathered.

He counted them; excluding Pena, there were still twenty-seven mercenaries left.

Of the twenty-seven, five surrounded Pena, four occupied high points on the administration building, and the remaining eighteen were distributed in groups of three in various corners, vigilantly watching their surroundings, almost filling all blind spots.

He Ao stealthily moved over, tied the last three laser grenades together, and threw them into the crowd.

'Stealth' is not true invisibility, but rather a distortion of human perception.

During intense interactions, such as battles, this distortion weakens, making it more noticeable to those with stronger mental abilities, thus revealing its form.

For example, when Heo killed the man in the office who was firing a heavy machine gun at him, he exposed himself and was thus 'discovered' by Pena.

Similarly, the distortion effect weakens when an inanimate object leaves Heo's body, making it more detectable.

For example, once the grenade is released from the hand, it will be spotted by the mercenaries.

Therefore, the moment He Ao threw the grenade, he immediately ran towards a distant corner.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries who saw the grenade quickly lay down or rushed into cover.

A violent explosion suddenly rang out, followed by a barrage of gunfire in all directions.

Heo hid behind a factory building, calmly waiting for the bullets to sweep past him.

The core principle of small forces fighting large forces is 'guerrilla warfare'.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

Make the other party restless and exhausted, and then gradually wear down their strength.

Pena was clearly aware that Heo was trying to gradually erode him, but he was in a much more urgent situation and had no time to continue confronting Heo.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupted, sweeping across the surroundings.

He Ao poked his head out and looked outside.

From the perspective of hypermemory, the person with the strongest soul standing in the crowd emitted a light orange glow that quickly spread outwards.

Every mercenary touched by this radiance felt their soul flicker, as if in response to the light.

Soon, the radiance swept over He Ao, and He Ao felt a strange power invading his soul, trying to distort his perception and make him submit to the will of the radiance spreader.

Of course, this force was expelled by Hypermemory almost instantly.

But this also means that He Ao's figure has been exposed.

Without any hesitation, he darted out and ran towards the factory gate.

"Chase!"

"Pena said coldly, gently rubbing his forehead, as if the explosion of power had taken a toll on him as well," he said.

This time, instead of having the people disperse, he had everyone gather together.

He also realized that to kill Heo, he would have to gather all his men and finish the job in one fell swoop. If they were scattered, Heo would find them and devour them.

He quickly rushed out of the factory, followed closely by the mercenaries.

They chased each other through several streets, and then He Ao's figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

By this time, they had caught up with them to a small circular square.

Several rusty iron seats were placed in the square, and a few old streetlights were evenly distributed along the edge of the square, only one of which was still flickering with a dim yellow light.

In the middle of the square, there was a small flower bed. It seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time. Most of the flowers in the flower bed had withered, and only a white chrysanthemum was swaying gently in the evening breeze.

The moment Pena saw the many white chrysanthemums, her expression changed, and she quickly dodged to the side.

At the same time, a bullet whizzed through the air, passing through the space where he had just stood, and struck a mercenary standing behind him. A violent explosion suddenly rang out, turning several mercenaries standing around into mangled limbs.

At this moment, on the rooftop of a small building not far from the square, He Ao gripped the already assembled Gauss sniper rifle, moved the muzzle, and aimed at Pena, who had already dodged to the side.

They fired again.

The explosive flames reignited, shattering the bodies of several mercenaries.

This was the location that He Ao had chosen for Pena before he even entered the factory.

Pena's mindset, including his urgency when chasing after the factory at the end, was all within his grasp.

He Ao pulled a vial of corpse flower solution from his waist, put it in his mouth, tilted his head back, and poured the solution into his mouth. While holding the vial in his mouth, he took out two high-explosive bullets from the side and inserted them into the sniper rifle's magazine.

Although this Gauss sniper rifle has a long range and good effect, it can only hold two high-explosive bullets at a time, so its magazine capacity is not high.

He quickly put the test tube back into his waistband and activated his hyper-memory.

Because of the unlimited use of Hypermemory and Stealth, Heo has already consumed eight of his twenty doses of Corpse Flower Solution.

That being said, he had never fought such a rich battle before.

It feels so great to be able to use Super Memory continuously.

Pena's intuition was exceptionally sharp; his body movements were almost nonstop, and within a few seconds he had changed positions three times.

At the same time, He's third bullet followed.

Pena dodged the bullet again, killing several mercenaries beside him.

He was running towards a side alley, preparing to hide in the alley where there was no visibility. In fact, all the mercenaries were also heading into the alley, but none of them were as fast as him.

At this moment, countless pieces of information were also gathering in He'ao's mind, and Super Memory was building a combat model for Pena and the other mercenaries.

boom--

The fourth shot.

The flying bullet grazed Pena's side and exploded suddenly, blasting him away.

Even as strong as

Even a C-class body couldn't withstand this powerful high-explosive bomb; at this moment, Pena's side was a bloody mess.

If that shot had hit, he might have actually died on the spot.

There was a slight deviation.

He quickly adjusted the combat model in his mind and replaced the bullets.

Taking advantage of this moment, Pena rolled into the alley that was not far from him.

The entire square fell into a brief silence.

Pena leaned against the wall, and a mercenary came up, took out a hemostatic and analgesic agent and injected it into his body. Then he used a suture needle to stitch up all the parts of his blasted flesh that could be stitched up.

He slowly reached out his hand, and another soldier handed him a megaphone.

This alley is not long, and at the other end is a square with a wide view, making it almost the best sniping spot in the vicinity.

Pena dared not cross the alley, knowing that if he showed his face, he would be blown to pieces by a high-explosive bomb.

He picked up the megaphone, took a deep breath, and chuckled softly.

“Joey, do you know why I chose your parents to be I-27 operators?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he rolled forward, and a loud explosion rang out behind him, blasting the wall behind him to collapse.

That's the power of a high-explosive bomb.
