Life Dungeon Game

Of course, this plan has essentially failed due to He Ao's vigilance.

And the third point, which is also the most important one.

Yang De was lured away.

This time, the opponent's tactics were very subtle and varied, but in essence, it was still a 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' strategy.

The last time they used the "luring the tiger away from the mountain" tactic, they lured He Ao and his men to the looted cruise ship. Their goal was to eliminate He Ao and his elite troops while also taking control of the cruise ship. They wanted both the tiger and the mountain.

This time, a series of maneuvers were used to lure Yang De away, and after drawing away the tiger, the attack on the 'mountain' was launched.

The same tactic was used twice in a short period of time.

It's really about exploiting a psychological bias. Everyone's smart enough to know that if the same tactic is used once, using it a second time will be met with suspicion, so they won't use it a second time.

Conversely, if you grasp this psychology, using the same tactic twice can produce unexpected results.

Of course, the most crucial point about this matter is the risk involved: launching an attack in the most 'safe' area, the area that is considered least likely to be attacked.

This is the core of the opponent's strategy.

The risks are high, but the rewards are also high.

The roaring helicopter, whipping up a fierce wind, had already taken off from the deck.

Flying a helicopter in strong winds is very dangerous, but taking the risk to take off can achieve results that speedboat attacks cannot.

Helicopters don't need to board the ship's side; they can drop people directly onto the deck. Although the risk of death is high, it greatly reduces the time spent attacking the ship.

He looked at the helicopters with a calm expression.

The other party's entire plan actually has another basis.

That means that after Yang De leaves, the person who succeeds him will be very weak.

Only if the replacement 'C-level' is weak and can be easily eliminated can any subsequent progress be possible.

It seems that the other party firmly believes that He Ao is 'weak'.

He released the speedboat's rudder and rubbed his temples.

I've been underestimated.

A helicopter in the sky was heading towards him, and a machine gun protruded from the helicopter.

The dazzling flashes of light and the piercing sound of gunfire echoed throughout the night.

He Ao pressed the button on the suitcase.

The silver mecha armor quickly spread upwards, covering his entire body.

He actually came alone in the speedboat, not to hold back most of the enemy.

His purpose was very simple.

Here, we'll resolve this 'surprise attack' directly.

He raised his hand, and a dazzling light streaked across the sky. In an instant, the blazing laser cannon pierced through the machine guns spitting fire, pierced through the massive helicopter, and ignited the fuel tanks floating in the rain.

boom--

A violent explosion suddenly rang out.

The raging fire burned in the rain.

The dazzling lightning illuminated the sky once again.

The enemy seriously misjudged his strength, but he had already roughly figured out the opponent's strength.

Once the fish are in the net, it's time to haul them in.

Human thinking can be habitual.

People often follow the paths they have successfully taken and repeatedly implement certain solutions.

This risky move—directing pirates to launch a surprise attack on the research institute's cruise ship in safe waters—is essentially the same as when Balan was young, breaking into his warlord's home and killing him in what the warlord considered the safest place.

So after hearing the storyteller recount Balan's past, and after hearing Yang De's preparations to rescue people, He Ao already anticipated that Balan would launch a surprise attack.

Ultimately, however, this action was too risky. In such a short time, if the research institute had held out even a little longer, the raid would have failed, and Balan would likely have lost his life.

Therefore, from any perspective, the probability of a raid on Balan should be extremely small.

In fact, Yang De and the research institute had also considered the possibility of unexpected events. Therefore, when Yang De entrusted He Ao to be the acting captain, he emphasized to He Ao that there were risks involved and asked him to think it over carefully.

However, from another perspective, it was precisely because everyone felt that the probability of Balan launching a surprise attack was very small that the attack was able to achieve its unexpected effect.

Only then can it be considered a 'surprise force'.

From a tactical perspective, Balan's approach was actually reasonable, and even somewhat brilliant.

If he succeeds in his raid, he will most likely become famous overnight.

However, the success of this raid was predicated on Balan's absolute advantage over the forces on the research cruise ship, which allowed him to seize the ship in a very short time.

Those fierce and reckless elite pirates could easily overwhelm the injured researchers on the cruise ship by sheer numbers.

However, as long as the top-level combat forces can temporarily restrain him, his surprise attack will inevitably fail, which is why he wants to lure Yang De away.

Yang De could even kill him.

But simply luring Yang De away wasn't enough; he also needed a reliable source of information about the ship's combat strength.

That's when the other person came into play.

He Ao raised his hand, and another laser cannon shot pierced through two helicopters in the sky.

The raging flames were reignited in the rain.

The jet engines on his feet spewed out brilliant exhaust flames, lifting Heoto up and suspending him in the air.

The fact that Balan was here proves that he believes he has an absolute advantage over Heo.

He himself had no intelligence on the ship. Theoretically, after seeing the two C-class soldiers of Dawn board the ship and never return, even if Balan was a gambler, he would not dare to launch an attack rashly.

After all, he didn't know the true situation on the ship.

Unless someone brings him specific intelligence about the ship, and specifically about the top-level combat forces.

He looked up, and the ultra-high-definition camera in his field of vision captured the two figures standing on the edge of the coal ship.

A lean man, dressed in a faded military uniform, stood barefoot on the deck. This was Balan, whose photo Yang De had shown to He Ao before he left.

Another person was wearing loose, ill-fitting clothes, with bandages damp from the rain peeking out from underneath.

Hu Wen.

Hu Wen was injured and jumped into the sea. He needed immediate medical attention, but at that time, there was a large...

Most of them were cargo ships, and they were far from the pirate mothership, so there were simply not enough medical facilities. His probability of dying at sea was extremely high.

However, his decision to jump into the sea was resolute. Besides risking his life, there's another possibility: he knew there might be a boat nearby that could rescue him.

Those ships that can be found wandering around the area are most likely pirate ships.

If Hu Wen is rescued by Balan, then Balan will gain Heo's 'true' strength.

He Ao had fought Hu Wen before, though it was only for a short time, and He Ao did not show most of his strength.

However, judging from Hu Wen's subsequent actions of avoiding Yang De's initiative to attack He Ao, Hu Wen probably believed that he could defeat He Ao.

During the few minutes that Heo talked with Yang De, he also asked about Balan's strength.

Yang De replied that Hu Wen and Balan were evenly matched, with Balan possibly being slightly stronger.

If events continue in this direction, the probability of Balan launching an attack increases significantly.

In fact, contrary to the assessments of He Ao, Yang De, and even the research institute, he believed that an attack on Balan was a highly probable event.

Balan is the kind of person who starts from humble beginnings and climbs up step by step by risking his life.

Heo himself lived in poverty, and he also possessed the memories of Rigitte and Roy, having encountered all sorts of people.

He could understand Balan's mentality very well. For someone like him, it was normal to risk his life at the gambling table for profit.

In fact, those pirates who relied on taking illegal drugs and recklessly charged forward had similar ideas.

Therefore, Heo knew that if Balan really rescued Hu Wen and obtained information from him, there was a high probability that he would attack the cruise ship, and do so from the safest place.

Although He Ao anticipated this high probability, he still accepted the task of acting captain.

The scheme set up by Balan could serve as a stage for him to demonstrate some of his abilities.

He's current goal is to find the missing central processing unit in the tower, thereby finding information about the item related to hypermemory sealed beneath the tower, and to discover the relationship between the ruins and the dungeon world.

To find the missing central processing unit, we must find the person hiding in the dawn, the one who entered the tower in the main world ten years ago.

Finding that person is impossible by going it alone, so a vast intelligence network is needed.

This requires leveraging the research institute's intelligence network.

However, to cooperate and leverage the strength of others, one must first demonstrate one's own strength.

It's hard to be convincing to rely on the status of a specially appointed researcher.

So from the very beginning, He Ao has been demonstrating his strength.

And now, this battle is the final battle he has prepared for.

After he quells this pirate rebellion, the strength he accumulates will be enough to give him the status to negotiate with the research institute and be recruited by the institute at a high price. At that time, he will gain the greatest benefits.

The dazzling light exploded once again in the rain.

He Ao crossed the entire helicopter group directly.

One helicopter after another plummeted from the sky engulfed in flames, like fireworks that had lost their brilliance and fallen.

A flash of lightning illuminated the sky.
