Don't follow the rules

Chapter 508: Haojiu Home Furnishing City (Eighty-four)
"It's nothing, just a guess, but it may not be correct and needs more verification." An Han said.

"What do you mean by nothing? What is your guess? How do you need to verify it? When can I find the fish?" Number One raised his hands, tapped his left wrist lightly with his right fingertips, and urged in a businesslike manner, "Please explain it more clearly. I'm in a hurry."

An Han was impatient: "If you think it's too slow, you can do it yourself."

Number One's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice became deflated with grievance: "You never spoke to me like this before..."

An Han covered his chest with his hands, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt.

"No way, no way? Are you always such a cross-species saint?" Yingying chirped beside his ear, scaring Anhan.

"I didn't." An Han retorted loudly with a guilty conscience.

"Tsk, who would believe that?" Yingying rolled her eyes. "Your eyes were so soft just now that they almost made me cry."

An Han's face instantly turned red from the top of his head to the base of his neck: "What are you talking about! I'm a male! And I'm not a mammal!"

Yingying patted him in amusement and said, "It's okay. This maglev kid is no longer old enough to be breastfed."

Number One: "Sister Yingying, I will write every word of this paragraph into Ning Yao's report and keep it in the association's database permanently as public reference material."

Yingying shook her skin tumor: "So? What does this have to do with me?"

Number One smiled: "You'll know when you wake up."

Anhan covered his face with his wings and ran away, swearing not to say another word until the red on his head faded.

"That's good," Little White Boat spread out his oars, "The only useful brain among you carbon-based creatures has been completely frozen."

"Frozen? That's not happening." Yingying pulled Anhan back with her claws and slapped him twice. "Did it restart?"

The old red on An Han's face faded, and a new red quickly appeared. He recovered and subconsciously replied: "Restarted..."

"Start working after restarting." Yingying threw him back in front of the dotted box rudely.

"Eh? The small piece of iron passed over." An Han's attention was quickly attracted.

Just as he said, the small piece of iron that was embedded in the air before has now completely crossed the boundary of the dotted line and completely entered the dotted frame.

After it completely crossed the dotted line, the resistance that had originally embedded it in the air seemed to disappear instantly, and its parabolic movement became smooth and fast, without any lag, and fell to the ground like a very ordinary piece of iron.

"Hurry, hurry, take a look at what's written on the iron sheet?" An Han moved quickly, trying to see the words on the iron sheet clearly.

Unfortunately, things don't always go so smoothly. After the small piece of iron crossed the dotted line, it flipped half a circle due to the force of the throw and fell to the ground with the reverse side facing up.

"What a great show." Number One stood up and applauded.

An Han was discouraged for a second, but soon cheered up again: "It's okay, it's not thrown far, we can use branches to straighten it."

He picked up the twig that was half 4K and half smooth again, chose a position close to the iron sheet, and carefully reached in from outside the dotted frame.

Unlike the great resistance felt before, the front half of the twig, which had been clearly marked by the dotted line, passed through the boundary of the dotted line smoothly and easily without encountering any hindrance, until it got stuck in the blurred half again.

"It's stuck again," he reported truthfully.

"I'm not blind." Yingying said with disgust.

Fortunately, he had experience this time. An Han held the branch in his mouth and moved forward steadily. When he saw that the distance was almost right, he slowly retreated a little to leave enough safe space for his body.

Except for the part caught by the chicken's beak, most of the branch has been refreshed, with extremely high clarity, and it can move freely in and out of the dotted frame. An Han gently turned the iron sheet over.

"It is indeed a student name badge, and the characters are no longer garbled. They have been refreshed to be recognizable and readable." he said.

Yingying and No.1 came over.

An Han narrowed his eyes slightly and read the small words on the badge: "Kushiang No. 3 Middle School, Grade 17, Class 3, Gao Yang... Break, the breaker?"

He looked back at Yingying and No.1 blankly: "What do you mean?"
-
Gao Yang has gradually become desensitized from his initial panic and now starts to watch the game leisurely.

He was lifted high into the air by Ning Yao's tentacles, and as he was swung back and forth, he silently sighed in his heart: Humans are indeed creatures with great mental resilience.

Staring at the pair of severed hands connected to his own by a string, Gao Yang said with a bit of amusement, "I can even get used to this... I'm really unique."

He even had the leisure to observe Ning Yao's combat progress and give some unconstructive suggestions from time to time.

Belike:

"Why do we have to fight them? We can just walk away, right?"

"Why would they suddenly attack us? Just because of the bolt?"

"If you say you apologize, will they accept it?"

"Honestly, I don't mind kowtowing."

Ning Yao threw away a body that almost broke through successfully: "Fuck you, can't you see I'm busy? You, the fountain commander, put a beep on me, right?"

Gao Yang lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I just want to help as much as I can."

Ning Yao did not stop waving his tentacles: "Put away your useless concern, hold your skin tight, and don't let the body grab your ankles. I am only responsible for protecting you roughly, but I can't guarantee that you will be safe and sound."

Gao Yang shrank his foot timidly, but then seemed to think of something and stretched out his foot again calmly.

"Do you want to die?" Ning Yao asked when he had time.

"No, I just have a new idea," Gao Yang said. "You've been killing for so long, but the number of dead people has hardly decreased significantly, which shows that your current method of killing enemies is actually very inefficient."

Ning Yao silently used a few meat grinder-like moves, which indeed could quickly clear out a space in a small area, but soon, this small space would be filled back by new bodies, and it seemed that the effect was indeed very limited.

I don’t know how many corpses are in stock in the cold storage, this tide of corpses seems endless.

Even though Ning Yao still has plenty of physical strength at the moment, he also knows very well in his heart that this style of fighting is definitely not the best tactic to deal with a war of attrition.

"What do you think?" Ning Yao asked, looking up.

Gao Yang cleared his throat and began to speak in a pretentious tone: "Ahem, big brother, have you ever heard of the thirty-six strategies and seventy-two tactics of Sun Tzu's Art of War..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ning Yao roared.

"Uh, okay, okay." Gao Yang spoke quickly as if he had been whipped. "What I mean is that this kind of attritional style of play is very dangerous for a side like us who don't have the advantage in numbers. In fact, we can learn from the most classic guerrilla warfare tactics - when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."

Ning Yao: "Are you kidding me? How the hell can I fight a guerrilla war when I'm surrounded like this?"

Gao Yang: "I'm not asking you to fight guerrilla warfare, I'm asking you to learn from their tactical ideas. We don't have the capital to consume the enemy right now, so maybe we should avoid their sharp edge first and guide them to consume some things that are not important to us and can be discarded. Waiting for them to tire themselves out is the correct way to fight a war of attrition."

Ning Yao paused and smiled maliciously: "Well said, the only thing that is not important to me right now is you."
