Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 302 Information Gap

After careful consideration, Li Wei finally determined that there were roughly three possibilities.

The first option is for Chu Wushuang to remain at Scarface's camp, adapting to any eventuality.

Next month, Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi will settle accounts and leave, while Scarface Ge Lan can continue to replenish personnel. At that time, Chu Wushuang alone may not be able to take on Li Wei's entire camp, but she will definitely cause great damage to the camp's development and production.

The small town base might even be taken away.

This is highly likely, and in Li Wei's view, it is a mature and prudent approach.

Because if a master of Chu Wushuang's caliber is determined to be an assassin or a destroyer, and will occasionally fire a few sneak arrows, there really isn't a better way to deal with her.

Of course, that would hinder the development of Scarface Glen's camp. Without Chu Wushuang in charge, many things would be impossible to continue. After all, starting next year, there would be more and more raids between camps, which could eventually lead to the complete decline of his camp.

The second option is to send Chu Wushuang out at this very moment to ambush Li Wei on his inevitable route back at the end of the month. That would be a sure way for Li Wei to die.

Eliminating Li Wei would end everything, and we could even take over everything he owned. This was the most cost-effective, but also the most insane, choice.

However, considering that Scarface Glen already knows he is alone, there is still a possibility.

The third possibility is to send Chu Wushuang out at the same time, but temporarily put aside the matter of Li Wei, and seize the time to use Chu Wushuang's martial prowess to frantically kill monsters, farm silver and bronze tokens, and improve the combat strength of the remaining free people as much as possible.

The main strategy is to employ an elite force.

So what will Scarface Glenn choose?

Or perhaps choose two out of three, or three out of three?

Or perhaps he was gambling on whether Li Wei could breach the camp without Chu Wushuang's presence.

Li Wei pondered this, but then took Ah Dai and followed the planned route. If Chu Wushuang was also sweeping along this route, they might be able to run into her.

Of course, to be more precise, it was Ah Dai who ran into Chu Wushuang.

He wouldn't challenge Chu Wushuang until he understood her profession and overall strength. It's like a hunter can hunt a tiger, but no old hunter would willingly run up to a tiger to perform his ancestral sliding tackle...

Ah-Dai soared thousands of meters in the sky, maintaining a distance of about fifteen miles from Li Wei. This distance allowed them to share a view at any time, and it was also a reliable distance that allowed Ah-Dai to be brought back instantly.

Of course, this layer of insurance wasn't enough. Li Wei, cloaked in a scout's cloak, moved slowly, using his Night Ranger's professional talent to conceal his presence and remain as hidden as possible.

This was to prevent Chu Wushuang from discovering Ah Dai first and then deducing that Li Wei was nearby.

Of course, the probability of this is very small. The current Ah Dai has extremely strong reconnaissance capabilities, is very good at identifying ground movements, and can remember a lot of details.

Chu Wushuang is a grown woman, and she's not a wandering knight-errant, so she doesn't have many options if she wants to hide.

In short, Li Wei had made all the preparations and thought of every detail.

As a result, he wandered around for three days, and it was almost the twenty-fifth day of the month, but he still hadn't found anything.

"Therefore, Chu Wushuang is not here, so the third possibility can be ruled out!"

Li Wei was certain because, over the past three days, through Ah Dai, he had discovered four more level 5 out-of-control, irrational mutated creatures wandering the wilderness.

If Chu Wushuang were to come out and jungle, there's no way she would let them go.

"Then only the first and second possibilities remain! But I think the second possibility is more likely, because Scarface Glen is too tragic. As a human being, he can't avoid the impulse to gamble."

Li Wei pondered. The radiation level in his body had now dropped back to 50 points. Even without the Rat Exterminator title, he could endure for more than ten hours without any problem.

This indicates that the radiation storm has entered a low point again, with at most a small peak at the end of the month, or even none at all, and the catastrophe of this year will be over.

He can't stay out there forever; he has to go back. If the head of the household isn't home to oversee the end-of-month settlement, who knows what kind of problems might arise! It wouldn't be fun if some old incident from the Fortress Sect happened.

"Okay, let's give it a try!"

Li Wei headed straight for Scarface's camp. As soon as he stepped into the fifty-mile border, lines of information popped up instantly.

You have entered Scarface Glenn's territory; your actions constitute trespassing!

[Due to the rules, within a distance of no more than 50 miles, the Pioneer Card on your person will be locked by the Pioneer Card on Scarface Glenn, and you will also lock the Pioneer Card on the other person.]

[When you are killed, or when you kill Scarface Glen, his Expansion Card will merge with yours. When you finally complete the three-star territory mission, you will gain an additional five square kilometers of land. Note that this is the maximum land limit that each three-star Expansion Card can acquire after successfully completing the mission.]

-

As Li Wei observed this information, he simultaneously sensed a very clear life force signal within the fortress fifty miles away. It was Scarface Glenn, without a doubt, because the Pioneer Card could not be removed unless the position of the head of the family was lost.

Li Wei did not turn around and leave. Instead, he slowly approached. Meanwhile, Ah Dai had already arrived above Scarface's camp and was keeping a close watch. He would return to notify them immediately if there were any suspicious signs, especially after Chu Wushuang appeared.

Of course, Li Wei wasn't afraid of Chu Wushuang, but rather that Chu Wushuang, along with Scarface Ge Lan, would gang up on him...

Next, he continued to advance slowly, and neither Ah Dai came to report the news nor Scarface Ge Lan moved his position. So why was Chu Wu Shuang so calm?

Or is it that Chu Wushuang is outside the circle, and as soon as she sees the camp lighting smoke, she will rush in and cut off his retreat, thus attacking from both sides and surrounding him, giving him the advantage? Li Wei's heart stirred; it seemed to be pretty much the case.

Scarface Glen might really have become a gambling addict.

And so, he slowly walked to a place 10 miles from the castle, where he was able to make contact with Ah-Dai.

At the same time, Ah-Dai could quickly survey the surroundings, but the surroundings were quiet. Not to mention Chu Wushuang, there wasn't even a trace of the mutated creature.

A few rays of sunlight could still be faintly seen shining down, indicating that the radiation storm was finally passing.

At this moment, through Ah Dai's perspective, Li Wei could see a middle-aged man with a terrible scar on his face standing with his hands behind his back on the top of the bastion. It was Scarface.

He seems very confident?

Okay, he can certainly be very confident.

Because Scarface Glen only needs to guard the collapsed area on the third floor with another player, it's impossible for ordinary people not to break through.

Haha! Every detail of that bastion flashed through Li Wei's mind, as if it were a beloved object, even the rough texture on each firing port was so familiar.

That's right, it's his habit. Although the outside of the bastion is like a smooth mirror, he feels that if he is given some time to try, he might be able to scale the walls on it.

Furthermore, at this point, things seem to have come to a head and become basically clear.

That means Chu Wushuang really isn't here; she must have been sent out to intercept and kill Li Wei on his way back.

Scarface Glenn did indeed choose the second path, staying behind at the main base and relying on the invincible bastions, believing that no one could do anything to him.

Hehe, that's the advantage of information asymmetry!

Li Wei was somewhat moved and sincerely thanked Adai.

Yes.

Even if Scarface Ge Lan and Chu Wu Shuang were incredibly muddle-headed, they wouldn't be likely to take such a risk. So the only answer is that the intelligence given to them by headquarters was seriously distorted!
Just like Zhao Guozhu and Liang Yuying, they thought Li Wei was a traitor, a general with a wheel!

The reason I dared to be so audacious as to raid their base this time was because I was lucky!
They must have carefully studied Li Wei's combat style in the previous battle.

They would definitely admit, highly acknowledge, that Li Wei, that little brat, does indeed have extraordinary abilities. His archery skills are truly superb, especially considering he also has a five-star hunting pet that can unleash ice magic.

Then the hunting pet happened to run into boom, which was in chaos due to loss of control!

It can be said that in the previous battle, Ah Dai was the MVP of this battle and the best Frost Archer!

Yes, that's all!
In particular, Li Wei didn't dare to stay at all; otherwise, half an hour would have been enough to wipe out the entire Bastion.

So, this is the truth!
Li Wei finally laughed, feeling a sense of guilt as he watched others make foolish mistakes. Information and intelligence—he couldn't afford to stumble on this matter in the future.

Thinking this, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if someone was pressing a cold blade against his forehead.

Sniper?
interesting!
Are there also anti-tank guns?

He suddenly grinned and began to gradually accelerate. Hmm, he still needed to test the waters one more time.

At that moment, Scarface Glen, atop the opposite bastion, was also laughing; now everyone's cards were out in the air.

Yes, Chu Wushuang was sent by him to intercept and kill Li Wei outside Li Wei's camp.

This is absolutely foolproof.

Li Wei will definitely have to go back at the end of the month, and no matter how his crow tries to send a message, it won't change his death date. Neither the widow nor the scorpion can save him!
Because Chu Wushuang's strength is absolutely at the peak of the five-star level, and she had just returned victorious from a cross-border mission six months ago.

What right do those crippled scorpions and widows have to try and extort money from Chu Wushuang?
Especially since these two old bitches joined the pioneering mission as soon as they returned from their previous mission, their understanding of Chu Wushuang is still based on what it was a year ago.

That alone is enough for them to die again.

What remained was for him, along with another player and 54 free civilians—the elderly, women, and children—to defend the fortress.

As long as Li Weiyi dies, everything on his side will belong to him. What an enticing gain that is!
If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for daring to wander around outside as the head of the family. Don't blame me for blocking your spawn point.

He didn't even need to kill Li Wei; as long as he held the third level of the fortress, Li Wei would have to accept his tragic fate.

Of course, Chu Wushuang did not actually agree with his plan. It didn't matter that the free people suffered heavy losses. As long as they were careful with their money and relied on the bastion and the Ministry of Commerce for follow-up support, there were still two years left, and there was still a chance.

Or, as a compromise, we could wait until next month.

But he knew very well that he couldn't wait any longer. There would be more changes next month. He was Scarface Glen, a top-tier four-star player in the Ministry of Commerce!
If the Ministry of Commerce were to suddenly drop to the teens or below when the month-end settlement was made, it would be a huge humiliation for the Ministry itself!
Especially when the battle report came out, the mere harassment by Li Wei alone was enough to scare them into hiding.

Seriously, he can't afford to lose face like that!

So you have to get up wherever you fall!
His blade is sharp!
He is a player ranked ninth among four-star players in the 108th branch venue of the Arena of the Heavens, with the close cooperation of a fellow four-star ally and this sturdy fortress.

If Li Wei hadn't come, that would have been fine. Otherwise, he would have wanted to ask that kid on the other side, "How do you plan to die?"
