Chapter 301: Chapter 20: Game Theory

Captain Ross was momentarily stunned, watching the tires grow distant.

Finally, he realized that the sound he had heard earlier was someone sneaking up and removing the tires from his vehicle.

Fuck!

God damn it, removing tires! Even if you had punched through the axle, I wouldn’t be surprised! First, the sneak attack and then the throwing, and all you did was come up and remove the tires?

Ross and his fellow soldiers quickly moved away from the overturned vehicle, carrying useful supplies and injured personnel. They couldn’t afford any more delays. The sound of the machine gun would likely attract that monster.

"Damn it, it wasn’t the other two forces!" Captain Ross suddenly tensed.

Whether it was the savages or those extraordinary heroes, or even the strange black-armored army, they would not have this kind of technology.

There was an incomprehensible disparity between the three forces. For example, M Country’s soldiers couldn’t understand how the Transcendent could perform Roof-Walking, while the opponents couldn’t understand how M Country soldiers’ firearms and ammunition could be deadly.

This was the difference in technological levels.

And at this moment, the opponent was able to unscrew the tire bolts in such a short period, leaving a few loose ones, causing the vehicle to suddenly lose its wheels while driving. This obviously wouldn’t be the style of those two forces; the attacker must be someone with a certain understanding of modern technology, or even...

"It might even be the same group that sent the information!" Lieutenant Ross looked at the smoking vehicle, which must have been damaged by the earlier collision. If the opponent had any further actions to initiate, causing a fire would be disastrous!

The thought in his mind became more and more certain: "Forget about the vehicle, leave immediately, drop the excess supplies, carry the wounded, and retreat! This is a trap!"

Yes, a trap! As Lieutenant Ross thought, he was already very distrustful of the group that had delivered the information. This encounter only made him more suspicious that it was a premeditated trap.

The opponents might be a new force on the island, using some unknown means to obtain knowledge of the secret codes of the operation, and planning to reap the benefits of others’ efforts!

Looking at the swaying trees in the darkness, some danger was approaching. He didn’t know if it was the savages or that monster.

Lieutenant Ross gritted his teeth and issued the order to retreat. He had to report all this to the commander! An unknown number of forces had appeared on the island, knowing the secret codes of the M Army’s operations! They had to be dealt with cautiously!

A few minutes later, Moon God looked at Li Changhe’s black face and muttered, "You [Great Wall] guys are really talented... I’m afraid your tire removal skills were honed at a race track, right?"

"No, just a lot of practice," Li Changhe replied with a big white smile on his dark face.

He Feng and Yun Ting naturally knew that this guy had removed many tires before.

Cangyue Ming frowned for a moment and asked, "Why let them go? Wasn’t the plan to snatch a carbine and shoot their spare fuel tank, attracting the monster of the dark night to deal with them?"

Moon God was also puzzled. They were all experienced [Players] and not foolish. From He Feng’s hint of the ’Dark Forest Law,’ they thought Li Changhe and He Feng were planning to use the alien creature to deal with the M Army.

However, after Li Changhe threw the spear and killed the machine gunner, he actually went to remove the tires.

In the end, he hid under the car without launching any further attacks.

"Boss, this doesn’t match your character," said Moon God. "I thought you would flip the car over, say ’Does anyone want to get out before I start?’ and then go on a killing spree."

"Well, that’s not an elevator," Li Changhe wiped the dust off his face.

If it had been like what Moon God said, the soldiers on the vehicle would not have opened fire immediately for fear of accidental injuries to their teammates.

With Li Changhe’s 11 points in Physique, 9 in Strength, and 9 in Agility, combined with his A-rank Octopole Fist Skill.

No one could be his opponent at close range.

The Transcendent died so unjustly. Wasn’t it that they were wronged for being unable to get close to the enemy even if they knew they could win once close?

Once Li Changhe boarded the vehicle, he wouldn’t have to worry about those firearms.

"So the purpose is..." Moon God pondered.

Li Changhe wiped the dirt off his face and said, "Because I think there’s a better way to weaken the opponent. For the story factions, we [Players] are actually a force."

"Remember... he said it’s a force," He Feng reminded with one finger, "They don’t know that our eight [Players] are divided into two groups to fight. From their perspective, [Players] are all on the same side."

"I don’t know what schemes or tactics the opponent has to win over the story forces, but we might not be able to win over those WWII soldiers anyway. We don’t know much about the enemy [Players]. To be on the safe side, let’s cause them some trouble," Li Changhe grinned. "Removing tires obviously wouldn’t be something the Transcendent could think of. So they would think the ones who attacked them are actually..."

"Actually, a new force that has a similar technological level to theirs, has some peculiar abilities, and does not belong to any other known faction," Cangyue Ming understood, "That is, the eight [Players] in this [Confrontation Task]!"

"Since the odds of winning over the WWII soldiers are too small, let’s simply offend them. Make them hostile to any new force that appears, and the enemy [Players] who are seen as being together will be treated the same. If the enemy [Players] recklessly approach the WWII soldiers, the result..." He Feng summarized, then shrugged, "Of course, this is the best idea. The enemy [Players] are not fools. They might want to unlock more abilities before trying to interact with the story forces. This kind of misdirection can only delay things for a while."

This was the idea Li Changhe and He Feng had discussed before they took action, and it was the exact opposite of Volga’s idea.

Volga wanted the WWII forces to weaken the other forces, cutting off the help Li Changhe and the others could possibly get. This would create distance between them before their battle with Li Changhe’s group.

Since they were going to offend the WWII force, they might as well do it thoroughly and make them suspicious of all [Players].

This kind of offensive stuff would severely damage the WWII force’s impression of [Players].

It would also make them extremely vigilant.

Then, if the enemy [Players] carelessly entered their base and sought help, things would get interesting!

In one fell swoop, they would weaken the help their opponents might get.

As for Li Changhe and his team, they simply cut off the help both sides could potentially receive.

The competition had already begun between the two sides before they had even met.
