Chapter 236: A Game Within a Game (Subscription Requested)

The nodes of the game are not on the borderline.

Therefore, Tang Ling did not hesitate to choose the middle corner interception point as the breakthrough point.

Because what is the essence of the hunt? For the pursuer, it is a process of pressing layer by layer, playing the prey, and waiting until the prey is physically and mentally exhausted, and then taking it in one fell swoop.

For the pursued, there are only two words - get rid of. How to get rid of it is the key to victory.

Combining these two essences, the strategic idea of the game from the beginning was never limited to the round-up.

If this is the case, then the strategic intention of the chasing party is too low-level, and it is a must-lose ending, because once the opponent breaks through, they lose the opportunity to play again.

On the contrary, the strategic intention of the pursued party from the beginning is positioned to break through, which is also very low-level, because the opponent has a long-term arrangement, and if he is not prepared, the outcome will inevitably be captured.

Tang Ling and Tang Long are undoubtedly very good standard-bearers.

They all understand that this is a game that has no time and space.

Just like Tang Long, his first strategic goal is very clear, which is to force Tang Ling to expose his whereabouts.

This is the meaning of the existence of the interception point of the border line.

Regardless of whether Tang Ling can be caught on the border line or not, as long as Tang Ling's whereabouts are exposed, it will be his strategic victory.

Because according to this whereabouts, Tang Ling was hunted for a long time until he was exhausted, manic, and finally hunted.

And what's the difficulty with that? That is to comprehensively calculate the opponent's situation, his speed, his time urgency, his purpose, and finally find out where the opponent will break through, and make arrangements in advance.

Obviously, Tang Long also succeeded in doing this.

What about Tang Ling?

He was at a disadvantage from the beginning, because his situation and time determined that it was impossible for him to go around in circles on the grassland, choose a safe place, and then break through.

This will inevitably require a certain amount of time to observe and analyze.

After all, Tang Ling is not a god, it is impossible to judge which place Tang Long must not have a point without any clues.

Then the result of this is terrible, every minute of delay means that the opponent's increase in troops will increase rapidly.

Eventually, there was no gap in any of the border points, and the entire steppe was full of troops chasing him.

What's even more unfavorable is that if time drags on, even if he escapes from the grassland successfully, the pursuit he will face will be layered and endless, and there is no possibility of getting rid of it.

His strategic goals from the beginning were also very clear.

Snake eyes.

First, rush for time.

Second, choose a route that is most conducive to your escape after breaking through.

Since revealing your whereabouts is an inevitable result!

Therefore, Tang Ling chose the middle corner interception point as the breakthrough point, and also made full use of his only advantage - the black map book.

He will know better than the dragon less troops about the next terrain distribution, even....

As for how to break through? In many cases, it is not necessary to have a plan, to plan.

Now that there is a general direction, what is needed is to grab time, then a violent breakthrough is enough, and Tang Ling's hole cards only have two cards - precision instinct, and transformation.

Undoubtedly, these two abilities have been used by him to the extreme.

The precision instinct uses firearms to the extreme, suppressing firepower.

Unexpected transformation, after approaching the breakout point, break through directly! In this way, the first is naturally unexpected, and the second is to save time, because the transformation can only last for five minutes, and this precious five minutes need to be distanced, and something needs to be arranged! Every second counts!

As a result of the collision between the two, Tang Long forced Tang Ling to reveal his whereabouts, while Tang Ling successfully escaped from the grassland and successfully took advantage of his advantages.

Tang Ling won slightly.

Because, Tang Long can't be clear now, Tang Ling will choose the middle corner point as the reason for the breakthrough.

He couldn't calculate the purpose of Tang Ling's actions after that, and let the subsequent pursuit fall into a kind of crisis of being contained.

**

"Viper scales, your coordinates?" Tang Long was holding the communicator, and he needed to confirm the location of the Viper Squad members again.

"Santos Junction, coordinate point 121.77." On the other side of the communicator, there was a thin and gloomy voice of viper scales.

And with his voice, Tang Long's fingers quickly swept over the map, and finally froze in a canyon.

The topography of this canyon is very special, the widest point is only nine meters, and the width of the rest of the place is no more than 5 meters on average, which is what the former civilization called the 'first line of heaven'.

Tang Long's fingers tapped lightly on this place, and then said, "You, now move towards the south, and finally stop at coordinate point 114.63." Now you are 17 kilometers away from this place, is it a problem to get there in less than 5 minutes? ”

"Three minutes is enough." Viper Scales smirked coldly, then hung up the communicator.

He didn't brag, his limit speed was close to 100 meters per second, and if he sprinted at the limit, he could run a kilometer in ten seconds.

Of course, he couldn't sprint to the limit all the time, and the terrain was complicated, so he gave a three-minute answer. If it was plain, he could even say two minutes.

After getting this answer, Tang Long didn't show any happy expression, and even his face was a little gloomy, he and Tang Ling had officially fought twice at this time.

The first time is to preempt the information blank time.

He lost!

His arrangement seemed a little hasty, and it took almost ten minutes before he began to search the village.

Regardless of the objective reason, a loss is a loss.

The second time is the battle of the border.

Looking at the map in front of him, Tang Long highlighted four points.

One of the dots in the southeast corner has the handwriting written by Tang Long himself - sixty-one percent.

The remaining three points are 22 percent, 14 percent, and 3 percent.

This indicates the probability that Tang Ling will choose these points.

However, who would have thought that the point chosen by Tang Ling would be the middle corner point, a point that does not even have a zero chance!

That's just the point where the routine has to be laid out.

It is full of difficulty to break through at this point, after all, this point is deep in the Lazier grassland, and after breaking through, it is very easy to attract the outflanking of the other two points, and the worst thing is to track.

Why did he choose this point?

Even if his ability after transformation was unknown to him, for example, Tang Long didn't expect Tang Ling to have such speed after transformation.

But, that's not a reason at all! It is absolutely taboo for those who are being pursued to be followed by a large group of pursuers... Did he deliberately need a large group of pursuers?

This is the strategic gap that will arise after information asymmetry, because there is no way to predict the strategic purpose of the other party, which will make the pursuit blind.

Even if he exposes himself, but because of this, exposing this disadvantage is... Maybe it will turn out to be his advantage.

Tang Long clenched his fists.

The game only starts when he enters the Santos branch, and he has already set a trap to chase and kill in the Santos branch.

The members of the Viper team guarding a dozen strategic points behind the border point are the key.

After that, there will be layers of arrangement.

Just like just now, with a single phone call, he could make one of the members of the Viper team intercept Tang Ling on the way he had to go.

It was indeed the way to go, and if you wanted to go deep into the Santos Junction after running out of the mid-corner, you would have to pass through that canyon.

If you don't pass through that canyon, with the direction of breakthrough that Tang Ling has chosen now, you won't be able to enter the Santos branch at all, and you can only spin around on the edge.

If he weren't stupid, he wouldn't be spinning around the edges, and the chances of being hunted would be more than ninety-five percent.

He was bound to venture into the Santos Mountains.

So, the question arises again? Or the old question, why did he choose to break through the middle corner? Because the Midpoint is the only way to get into the Santos Mountains... Dangerous, a glimmer of terrain! How could you get yourself into this terrain?

Unless, he simply doesn't know what kind of terrain is behind the mid-corner?

Is he that stupid?

Tang Long felt that he was very aggrieved when he lost half of the chess, and every move after that had to rely on guesswork, rather than reliable inference.

He had a feeling of being restrained by Tang Ling, which hurt his pride a little.

It has been well cared for from beginning to end, and no one has ever defeated the pride.

**

Before Tang Ling's transformation, his ultimate speed was about 2.5 seconds per 100 meters.

And after the transformation?

It's 110 meters per second! No quadruple speed boost! This is especially the result of longer legs!

Tang Ling complained a little, in fact, he was not running with his legs at all now, but on all fours, choosing to imitate the running posture of a cheetah.

It's really faster, but if it weren't for the strong waist and abdominal strength after the transformation, it wouldn't be able to support such a running posture at all.

Well, even with such a running posture, Tang Ling's speed limit is 110 meters per second.

Is it enough?

That's enough!

The central point is 8.7 kilometers deep into the Lazier grassland, which means that he still has 8.7 kilometers to reach the foot of the Santos branch.

This 8.7 km can be understood as the transition zone between the Lazier grassland and the Santos vein.

Now, Tang Ling's time is very short, because if he breaks through from the middle corner, he will inevitably be outflanked by the Star Council troops who are closer to the Santos branch and the two interception points on the left and right.

Instinctively calculated with precision, such as the time they received the message, their distance from the nearest outflanking point.

Tang Ling faced two time nodes.

The first time node is 29 seconds, and he must run at least 2.8 kilometers in 29 seconds to not be outflanked by the troops at the left interception point.

The second time node is 61 seconds, and he must cover a distance of at least 6.1 kilometers in this time to avoid being outflanked by the troops at the right interception point.

Although theoretically, time is enough!

But if you factor in the terrain, or unexpected encounters that no one can predict, it's extremely urgent.

So what is running on all fours? If he can buy time, even if he lets Tang Ling run all the way, he doesn't care.

The huge body, such speed, and the wind resistance brought by it are also terrifying.

The fierce wind blew on Tang Ling's face, and it felt almost the same as the knife, but fortunately, the skin after the transformation was also tough enough, otherwise it would be possible for Tang Ling to run and become a 'blood man'.

And this wind resistance also brought a huge whistling sound, and where he passed, it was like the sound of a supercar of a former civilization skimming the road....

"It's a pity, if you put yourself with an eight-cylinder self-aspirating engine, will you pretend to be a sports car and blow up the street?" In such a predicament, Tang Ling did not forget to entertain himself.

Of course he can't let himself be oppressed by the tense atmosphere, he has to be relaxed.

He remembered the car of the former civilization, which was a means of transportation that almost all men liked, and Tang Ling was no exception.

It's a pity that in the Purple Moon Era, there is no longer the capacity to produce cars, and all the cars that can run are the remnants of the previous civilization, and the legacy is very limited.

In order to hunt down and kill themselves, the Star Council dispatched so many military off-road vehicles to one base, which is really a luxury.

In such an unobtrusive thought.

29 seconds passed.

Tang Ling successfully ran past the first outflanking point.

6 seconds have passed.

Behind him, the sound of a chase came from the outflanking point.

61 seconds later.

Tang Ling successfully ran past the second outflanking point.

3 seconds have passed.

There was noticeably more chasing behind him.

Looking down from above, it was a spectacular scene, because Tang Ling was running ahead, and there were at least two hundred or more people chasing him behind him, including nine Purple Moon warriors.

Fortunately, Tang Ling won the time and had already distanced himself from these pursuers.

Even if the Purple Moon Warrior used the Instant Step, it would be impossible to catch up with Tang Ling in a few steps, after all, the Instant Step also needed energy support, and it was impossible for the Purple Moon Warrior to use it for a long time.

And now the most correct strategy should be to keep chasing Tang Ling, don't lose the target, as long as you have a little common sense, you know that Tang Ling's state will not last long.

From this moment in the situation, Tang Ling's choice to break through the middle corner is simply the stupidest choice, but is this really the case?

Looking up, the Santos branch is already in front of you.

And the most important moment is now.

Tang Ling had already heard a large number of hooves, which made Tang Ling show a smile on his face, but a trace of inexplicable emotion rose in his heart.

"Boy, do you really want to see the night of the wolf plague? If you are lucky enough to encounter a wolf plague during the time of crossing the Lazier grassland, I advise you to stay away, I am afraid that you will be scared to pee your pants. ”

"Actually, these steppe wolves are not very powerful, I know why they attack human villages once a year, but I won't tell you."

"Are you feeling bad? Tempted to hit me? Well, to make up for you, I can tell you one more interesting thing. Every year on the night of the wolf plague, a large number of Razi bulls gather at the foot of the Santos branch. ”

"It's not surprising, though, because they also have to avoid wolf plagues. For one night alone, they will gather together like this, and don't underestimate a herd of wild bulls, it is a very terrible thing for them to go crazy. ”

"So, I'm reminding you never to approach the foot of the Santos branch on the night of the Wolf Plague, and if you do, be sure to avoid the point marked on the map."

"Because, here..."

Because here, Tang Ling raised his head and saw a large group of Raging Bulls, and the inexplicable emotion in his heart became even heavier.

That Tang Feng, he expected everything again? Just wrote down all this verbose nonsense?

Tang Ling didn't really want to accept such an inexplicable kindness.
