Life Dungeon Game

However, there are actually factions within Dawn.

According to the research institute's data that He Ao consulted, Li Ming had two B-level qualifications.

One is the leader of Dawn, that is, the founder of Dawn.

The founder, representing the idealistic faction within Dawn and the elders, was dedicated to building a perfectly ordered and extraordinary nation.

One of them is an international fugitive named Geno who joined Dawn later in the series. He agrees with Dawn's ideals, but he is more interested in creating violence and seizing profits than in realizing his ideals.

Later, international criminals or bandits like Hu Wen joined Dawn's ranks and were all under his command.

Leon Lai's infamy was mostly created by his own people.

In comparison, the leader of Dawn would be more inclined to achieve his goals while ensuring order and minimizing casualties.

The two have very different personalities. It is impossible to verify why the leader of Dawn took in Jeno in the first place, but according to the research institute's data, the two had almost no contact before that.

If we had to pinpoint what they had in common, it would be that they are both upright and straightforward people. Once they've done something, good or bad, they'll admit it directly without going through the motions.

Given the current state of the Dawn organization in Alano, with so many resources gathered and the attack on the research institute, it's impossible for them to be backed by no B-level experts.

Of course, what's interesting is that the Dawn organization in Alano currently operates in a style that is both the idealistic style of the Dawn leader and the ruthless style of Geno.

In fact, these two people never seem to work together.

Heo raised his head and smiled at Nordin in front of him.

They seemed to be waiting for his response.

Under Heo's gaze, Nordin felt immense pressure. He clenched his fist and took a deep breath. "We have the leader behind us. Everything Dawn has arranged in Alano is done by the leader. Do you want to defy the leader?"

"Oh."

He Ao responded, then glanced at the time and slowly stood up. "It's almost eleven o'clock. Are you hungry? Let's get something to eat."

Nordin looked at Heo with some suspicion, unable to guess what Heo was up to.

However, he dared not disobey He Ao's words and could only follow behind He Ao.

Time passed by, and Nordin sat down at the dining table with Heo.

The staple food of the local people of Alano is cassava, a simple and easy-to-grow plant that has fed most of the Alano people living in chaos.

Lunch was prepared by a local chef: a meat soup, two servings of roasted cassava, and two ham sandwiches.

The flour in Alano is mostly imported from the Tia Empire, making it scarce and expensive. Similarly, butter and ham are not cheap either, so sandwiches are usually served on the table by wealthy families.

It's just that this town is wealthy. If He Ao had chosen a poorer, more remote town, he might have only had cassava for lunch.

Arano roasted cassava is prepared by roasting the snow-white cassava flesh until it is soft and translucent, then pouring broth over it. The roasted cassava absorbs the broth, and then it is sprinkled with salt and minced garlic, and topped with a little lemon juice.

The taste wasn't too bad, but it wasn't particularly good either. Compared to most Alano people, this kind of meal was something only wealthy families could afford.

The meal wasn't much, and by the time He Ao finished eating slowly, it was already 11:30.

He Ao straightened up, glanced at the opposite side, and at this moment

There was still a lot of sandwich and cassava left in Notting's bowl.

It seems he really doesn't have much of an appetite.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the window and door.

Nordin seemed drawn by the sound and looked towards the door.

At that moment, He Ao was already walking towards the door. "A guest has arrived."

Nordin glanced at the food in his bowl, slowly got up, and followed Heo's footsteps.

It was nearly noon when He Ao walked out of the door, and all the pirates guarding the door had already fallen down.

A burly, robust man with brown curly hair, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and carrying a giant axe that was more than a meter wide, stood at the door. He looked to weigh at least 200 pounds.

When the man saw He Ao and Nordin come out, his gaze swept over the two of them before finally settling on He Ao. He grinned maliciously, "You're Hu Wen?"

"Yes."

He Ao nodded calmly.

"Be careful, that's a berserker from 'Moonlight'," Nordin quickly warned. After all, 'Huwen' was now indeed a member of Dawn.

"Moonlight's headquarters in Alano is nearby. This 'Berserker' is responsible for protecting the interests of the Tia Empire in Alano and eliminating those extraordinary individuals who stand in the way of the Tia Empire."

Balan had sparred with him before and was injured in three moves. From then on, he never dared to defy the Tia Empire again. This man has no mercy; none of his targets have survived… The fact that he's actively seeking you out probably means he sees you as his target.”

At this point, Notting paused, looking at Heo, "How did you offend the Tia Empire?"

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to persuade He Ao, but ultimately gave up.

He was the weakest among them, and if he angered He Ao, he would be the first to die.

He thought about it and didn't dwell on the issue. In any case, he was now on the same side as He Ao. If He Ao was really killed by the berserker, given the berserker's ruthlessness, he might very well kill him as well.

He then quickly added, "The Berserker's ability is to enter a berserk state, instantly increasing his combat power fivefold. Moreover, in the berserk state, his combat power will gradually increase over time, reaching up to more than ten times his original strength."

It is said that in his fully berserk state, he can even withstand attacks from B-rank beings, making him the strongest person below B-rank in the entire Tia Empire. Furthermore, he is the person with the most recorded kills among C-rank superhumans, with five C-rank beings having already fallen at his hands.

Extraordinary beings are extremely rare in the main world; there are only a dozen or so C-level beings in the entire Dawn. A C-level being is basically enough to hold down a position in a region. Killing five C-level beings is indeed something to boast about.

From the moment Nordin began describing the Berserker's strength, the Berserker has remained unchanged.

He stood with his hands in his pockets not far in front of Heo, not moving forward, just listening to Nordin speak with a smile on his face and his eyes narrowed.

After Nordin finished speaking, he laughed loudly and waved his hand, "Hey kid over there, I really like people like you who talk a good game. Stay away from me later, lest I accidentally kill you when I'm about to strike."

"When he goes completely berserk, his eyes will turn pure yellow. Anyway, be careful."

The best time to defeat him is when he first goes berserk and his strength isn't yet at its peak. Be careful.

"Nodding said again."

"Thank you."

He Ao nodded slightly.

This is all I can do to help you.

Nordin said something softly, then turned and ran away without looking back.

Once he was completely out of sight, the berserker turned his gaze to He Ao, "Kid, I heard you're pretty arrogant? Daring to threaten the Empire?"

He took the giant axe off his back and held it in his hand.

The giant axe, combined with his imposing body, resembled a small hill, appearing savage and dangerous under the sunlight.

He Ao's gaze fell on his giant axe.

That giant axe didn't seem to have originally been an axe.

Like fragments separated from some giant blade, they were bound together with hinges and steel cables to a rusty iron rod, forming a hastily assembled giant axe.

It looks like something taken from ruins.

"Kid, call me grandpa, and I might spare your dog's life."

The berserker laughed loudly, and wisps of yellow light spread from the center of his pupils, beginning to color his brown pupils.

His aura instantly multiplied several times, and the oppressive feeling increased dramatically, transforming from a small hill into a mountain range that blots out the sky.

Some residents who had been peeking out from the surrounding streets were now so frightened that they pulled their heads back in and locked their doors and windows.

"Kid, take this!"

The massive, broad axe cleaved down, its power overwhelming the sky.

He Ao's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, landing on another part of the street.

The giant axe swept across the gate like a scalpel cutting into tofu, utterly destroying the metal gate and the cement and red brick wall, sending countless fragments of stone flying.

The axe is a good axe.

Judging from the way this berserker is swinging the axe and the sound of the axe cutting through the air, the axe must weigh at least a thousand kilograms.

"Hahaha, weren't you so arrogant, kid?"

The berserker laughed loudly as He Ao dodged.

Although this guy looks reckless, he's not really reckless. He hid his body behind the axe during that last swing, minimizing the chance of being ambushed by He Ao.

Hearing his words, Heo did not speak, but returned to the wall that had been smashed by the axe.

The abilities of a ruthless bandit require a period of accumulation; the more people they kill, the stronger they become. At this moment, He Ao has no enemies around him, nor does he have the environment to kill and accumulate power.

In comparison, one gains while the other loses.

Hu Wen's combat power was originally inferior to that of the Berserker, while the Berserker's strength would continue to increase as his berserk state deepened.

Nordin retreated to a distance, watching as Heo ignored the berserker's attacks. As time passed and the berserker grew stronger, he sighed and took out his satellite phone.

"Looks like this guy's going to die here."

The chase between the berserker and Heo continued, with Heo never making a single move, but instead constantly dodging the berserker's attacks.

At this moment, most of the original mayor's office had been demolished into ruins by the berserker. As the berserker's madness intensified, his speed also increased further, and He Ao's agility, which seemed to have a significant advantage, was gradually leveled off.

The berserker was getting closer and closer to Heo.

"Grandpa, is that uncle going to lose?"

In a distant street corner, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old crouched behind a wall, carefully watching the battle unfold in the distance.

She was the first girl to give He Ao flowers last night.

Her eyes couldn't keep up with How and the berserker's speed, but to her it seemed that How was constantly being hit.

"Sigh, he's probably going to get beaten to death. They're all bad people. If he dies, he dies."

Behind her, an elderly man with a white beard sighed.

"But I think that uncle is a good person."

The little girl shrank back and whispered.

"Sigh..." The old man looked at He Ao's figure, seemingly remembering what He Ao had done. He was one of the people who brought He Ao breakfast this morning. "Even if he is a good person, he will still be beaten to death. Good people don't live long in this world."

He leaned on his cane with one hand and took his granddaughter's hand with the other. "Girl, let's go. Otherwise, if they go berserk, we won't be able to escape."

He reached out to take her hand, only to find that he couldn't actually hold his granddaughter's hand.
