Chapter 129

A few minutes ago.

In the main base of the Truth Society’s Area B, in the equipment development department.

The Chief of Operations Department, Bernardo, who had been left in charge of the main base, was touring the newly developed exoskeleton equipment with several engineers.

Suddenly, his personal terminal rang.

“What’s the matter?”

From the terminal came a frantic shout, “Minister, something big has happened! The secret laboratory in Area C was attacked, and the intruder is incredibly strong, they broke down the laboratory door with their bare hands!”

“What?!”

Bernardo was shocked. After the Chairman led the main forces out to battle, he moved his office to Area C, but being an active person, he didn’t stay put for long. He started patrolling the base after sitting in his office for a while. He never imagined that the base would be invaded within just one hour of his departure.

Was it someone from the Gene Progenitors, another force, or perhaps both working together in a home invasion tactic?

Bernardo shook himself back to focus. He forced himself to remain calm, “How many intruders are there?”

The voice on the other end replied, “One, just one, no, not just one, there’s also an Undead, the Undeads in our base led them here.”

One?

Bernardo suspected he might have misheard, asking multiple times before finally believing it.

“The base is relatively empty now. If it’s just one person, there is indeed a chance they could sneak into Area C past all the guards.”

He let out a sigh of relief. It wasn’t another force attacking; otherwise, the Truth Society might suffer greatly this time.

“Minister, should we contact the Chairman?”

Bernardo shook his head, “No, the Chairman is currently engaged in battle. We can handle this minor issue ourselves without disturbing him.”

Just one intruder, how much of a threat could they pose if already exposed?

Unless that intruder’s strength matched the Chairman’s, he didn’t need to worry too much.

Clearly, that intruder couldn’t match the Chairman’s strength. The Chairman’s power was beyond anyone’s imagination. All the assassins listed on the Darknet and the high-level superhumans he knew of from various factions couldn’t compare to the Chairman.

If these people were to gang up on the Chairman, they wouldn’t stand a chance, but if they faced him one by one, they’d be like walking into death.

“Want to save Youlia? Be prepared to stay here forever!”

Bernardo smirked, his eyes turning icy cold as he headed toward Area C, issuing orders along the way.

“Seal off all exits leading from Area C to other regions. The entire base enters Level One Alert status. No one is allowed to leave their designated areas without receiving orders!”

“All superhumans stationed in Area C immediately assemble at the secret laboratory. Superhumans from other areas gather at the entrance to the main surveillance room. I’ll be there shortly!”

“That Undead who conspired with the outsider…”

Bernardo paused.

This puzzled him. They had undergone numerous body and mind modifications on the Undeads. Why did they still betray?

“Have the other Undeads in Area C deal with him. Watch closely to see if there are any more traitors.”

The voice on the other end asked, “Minister, what if the intruder threatens Youlia’s life?”

Bernardo pondered, “In necessary circumstances, shoot to kill.”

“Understood!”

As alarms blared, the base that was just silent suddenly sprang to life. Superhumans led a large number of elite soldiers towards Area C.

“Entering the base alone, truly overestimating oneself. I’ve almost gone stir-crazy here. Today, I’ll practice on him.”

“Minister Bernardo is overreacting a bit. Just an intruder, yet he mobilized so many of us.”

“Stop complaining. Finish early, go home early. By the way, when will you pay me back the money you owe?”

Superhumans raced down the corridors, laughing and joking, looking completely relaxed.

Just as they passed by a storeroom filled with cleaning tools, a massive explosion accompanied by a ferocious spiritual energy storm erupted from inside the storeroom.

It all happened too suddenly, leaving them no time to dodge. They could only watch helplessly as the spiritual energy storm engulfed them, its immense force tearing their bodies apart and throwing them away.

Three fragile individuals died instantly, while the others were severely injured and unable to continue fighting.

Within an instant, this squad of superhumans was wiped out.

“What’s going on?”

The survivors were terrified, the ease on their faces gone.

The same incident occurred elsewhere. Xiao Xiao Bai Fu simultaneously exploded, even if no one was hit, the corridor collapsed, making it temporarily impassable.

This violent shaking drew the attention of the players trapped in Area C.

“Damn, what kind of person did Tai Ergen bring in, so powerful?”

“Powerful? I’m fed up with this guy. He’s enjoying being a spy, but what about us? Now we’re suspected by the NPCs. Our hard-earned affinity might be lost.”

They received a new quest, 【Capture Tai Ergen】. Upon learning what Tai Ergen did, they felt numb.

Now, they had no other thoughts except wanting to PK Tai Ergen and teach him a lesson.

Trapped in Area C, Tai Ergen, having successfully guided them, had no hope of escaping. Thus, he was quickly found and surrounded by other players.

A guild player named 【Silverwing Killer】 stepped forward, locking eyes with Tai Ergen, “Tai Ergen, confess! Are you a spy from another faction?”

He selected a skill, and the nearby players looked menacing.

With the alarms ringing, even trying to hide was futile. Tai Ergen admitted everything straightforwardly.

“Yes, I’m actually a spy from Silent Courtyard. I was given a task by Bai Fu to gather information about the Truth Society.”

Tai Ergen felt quite proud saying this.

He was the first player to find the location of the Truth Society’s main base. Since his faction was the Truth Society, he received no reward, but the subsequent tasks from Bai Fu elevated him three levels, and his affinity with her rose to 78.

However, this wasn’t all he gained. Once this incident was exposed, he would become a superstar.

【Spy King · Nemesis of the Truth Society · Tai Ergen】

Such a bold nickname.

“What, Bai Fu from Silent Courtyard?”

Silverwing Killer and his group were stunned.

“Who is the NPC you summoned?”

“Bai Fu.”

“Damn!”

Silverwing Killer and his group instinctively took a step forward, cornering Tai Ergen. Their expressions were extremely strange.

“What do you want?”

Tai Ergen felt uneasy, as if he could be subdued at any moment.

Suddenly, Silverwing Killer’s right hand slammed onto his shoulder, speaking in the player channel.

“Tai Ergen, why didn’t you tell us earlier that you were Bai Fu’s spy? I can’t believe you, if you had told us earlier, would we not have cooperated with you?”

“Exactly, I’ve wanted to join Silent Courtyard for a long time, but couldn’t change factions. Knowing you had this connection, would I really want to switch accounts?”

“Damn, Tai Ergen, you’re really lacking in loyalty, revealing this now.”

These players stepped forward, each giving Tai Ergen a punch.

They were expressing envy and jealousy, but since the observing NPCs couldn’t hear their words, they thought the players were collectively bullying Tai Ergen.

“Looks like the other Undeads are fine?”

“Can’t say, maybe some are disguised.”

“At least for now, looks fine. Scared me, thought our modification technology had major flaws.”

The Truth Society members were temporarily relieved, as were Silverwing Killer and his group.

If they could cooperate with Bai Fu to destroy the Truth Society, they would become factionless, allowing them to easily join Silent Courtyard.

“I have an idea.”

Silverwing Killer began sharing his plan in the player channel.

While they discussed their next actions, the Silent Courtyard players outside launched their ambush.

Bai Fu’s command triggered two quests simultaneously.

The first was 【White Fox’s Call to Arms】, requiring cooperation with Bai Fu, with generous rewards.

The second was the planetary main quest 【Extinction of the Truth Society】, which had dozens of objectives, each with rewards that could make current players drool.

【Hey hey hey, is this really a task we can undertake now?]

【For example, killing Bernardo, he’s the Chief of Operations of the Truth Society, let alone now, even unlocking advanced professions might not guarantee a win against him.]

【Why bother, just get it done!]

With Black Tiger Afu leading the charge, the fanatics immediately launched their attack on the Truth Society’s main base according to their prearranged plans.

Attacking from both inside and outside, they displayed terrifying power.

Despite the Truth Society holding the advantage in terms of location and numbers, they were caught off guard by Bai Fu’s first wave of attacks, suffering significant losses.

…

【Extinction of the Truth Society】

【Task Introduction: Hidden for a century, it all vanished in a day. Standing in the Truth Society’s main base, will you lead its downfall, or become its victim?]

【Task Objectives:

• Killing Spree – Each Truth Society member killed awards 1000 XP;


• Destroyer I – Destroy the secret laboratory in the main base, rewards depend on contribution;


• Destroyer II – Destroy the underground production line in the main base, rewards depend on contribution;


• …


• Beheading I – Kill the Chief of Operations, Bernardo, rewards depend on contribution;


• Beheading II – Kill the advanced superhuman, Xu Zhihao, rewards depend on contribution;


• …

【Rewards: Completion of any branch can be settled separately]

In the secret laboratory, Bai Fu turned off the quest panel.

She thought she wouldn’t receive any more quests related to eliminating the Truth Society after taking on the revenge mission 【Truth Unveiled】, but the game had one last surprise for her.

“Good, good, this is a good game!”

Bai Fu scanned the laboratory. The secret laboratory mentioned in the quest objectives was clearly this one. What else could she say?

She raised her hand and detonated two Spirit Explosions, shattering every instrument and device in sight.

The massive explosions terrified Ed, causing his face to turn pale and his lips to tremble.

This was his laboratory where he had worked for ten years. He never imagined it would end up like this. Even if Bernardo killed Bai Fu, rebuilding the laboratory would take a long time.

If Bernardo failed to kill Bai Fu, or if the entire Truth Society couldn’t kill her…

Ed didn’t dare think further. When he looked up, he saw Bai Fu smiling satisfactorily, a demonic smile.

Blowing up a laboratory earned her 400,000 XP. How could she not be happy?

Bai Fu walked slowly to Ed, “How did she become like this? Is there any way to restore her quickly?”

If Youlia could return to normal, she would be more confident in causing chaos in the Truth Society’s main base.

Ed hurriedly said, “She became like this because the Truth Society kept extracting her spiritual energy for experiments. Under the long-term effects of the spiritual energy limiter, her mental state was damaged, and it won’t recover in a short time.”

Unfortunately.

Bai Fu frowned, “What experiments did you conduct using her spiritual energy?”

Ed took a deep breath, “The Chairman wants to understand the source of her abilities. Currently, we’ve created temporary enhancement potions and potential activation potions based on the spiritual energy extracted from her.”

“Nothing else?”

Ed quickly shook his head, indicating no.

Bai Fu didn’t press further. The Truth Society members were coming from all directions, and the top priority was to get Youlia to safety. Afterwards, they would naturally engage in a full-scale conflict.

Compared to destroying the Truth Society, and the rampant killing here, she valued the knowledge collected by the Truth Society more.

If there were spiritual energy-related knowledge chains, that would be great. Otherwise, obtaining some other knowledge here and selling it to players would be beneficial.

“Lead the way, take me to the main server room and the power distribution room,” Bai Fu threatened.

Ed dared not refuse and walked nervously out of the destroyed laboratory.

As they walked, Bai Fu destroyed all the surveillance devices along the way.

“I saw a photo on a wall in an office, with four people…”

“You’re talking about Bernardo’s temporary office, right?”

Ed’s understanding saved Bai Fu some explanation, “Do you recognize the people in the photo?”

The answer was disappointing.

“No, it’s Bernardo’s personal photo. Besides him, no one else knows who those people are.”

Enough.

Bai Fu continued moving forward, dragging Ed. At the corner, she heard urgent footsteps and shouts.

“Don’t let the intruder escape!”

An elite soldier led a team of elite soldiers rushing out.

Bai Fu didn’t move. A dazzling white light suddenly shot out, piercing through the soldier.

Black Fu acted.

With a spear, she opened the way, then flashed into the crowd with Flowing Light. In the aftermath of the explosions, the superhumans and elite soldiers were torn apart and fell to the ground screaming.

Very good.

Bai Fu handed Youlia to Black Fu and took control of all the Xiao Xiao He Fus from her.

“What are you waiting for? Continue leading the way to the main server room and the power distribution room.”

Bai Fu glared at Ed, planning to stay behind as bait to buy time for Black Fu and Youlia.

Ed looked at Black Fu, then at Bai Fu, feeling a chill run down his spine.

What’s going on? Why are there two Bai Fus here?

He suddenly had a bad feeling. Except for him, no one else knew there were two intruders. This was a disaster waiting to happen.

He dared not shout, silently praying that the Chairman would receive the news soon.

Black Fu followed Ed, leaving Bai Fu free to act.

“Where should I start?”

She looked at the wall ahead, feeling obstructed. Since that’s the case, she would use Xiao Xiao Bai Fus and explosions to carve out a new path!

Boom! Boom!

The intense explosions echoed from the underground Area C to the main surveillance room, where Bernardo’s face turned extremely grim upon arrival.

These were the fruits of the Truth Society’s years of effort, now destroyed by the intruders. Unforgivable!

“Bernardo, I’m in Area C.”

At this moment, Bernardo’s earpiece crackled with the voice of the Truth Society’s advanced superhuman, Xu Zhihao.

He was delighted.

Xu Zhihao was undoubtedly a master among the advanced superhumans.

“Hold him off, I’ll bring reinforcements!”

Xu Zhihao sneered, “No need for trouble. I’ll handle him soon. Should we take him alive?”

Bernardo slightly frowned, “If possible, keep him. If not, don’t force it.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Xu Zhihao was about to hang up when he noticed the wall in front of him had been blown apart, revealing a familiar face.

He had never seen this face in person before, but due to the Chairman’s relationship, he had seen this face countless times in photos.

“Bai Fu?!”

Xu Zhihao was shocked. He never expected the intruder to be Bai Fu.

Recently, a high-level superhuman attempted to assassinate Bai Fu in Bai Fu Town but was killed swiftly by Bai Fu. This showed Bai Fu was far from an ordinary high-level superhuman.

His exclamation reached Bernardo’s ears through the terminal.

What, Bai Fu?

Bernardo’s expression changed instantly.

Most of the intelligence related to Bai Fu had been reported by him to the Chairman. He knew how formidable Bai Fu’s track record was and that Bai Fu maintained contact with the Railway Guild. Additionally, Bai Fu had an extraordinary succubus constitution that attracted Undeads.

Since Bai Fu was here, the Railway Guild and the Undeads…

“Minister, someone is attacking the base!”

Bernardo froze. He immediately shouted into the terminal.

“Xu Zhihao, evacuate temporarily!”

But he received only silence. The terminal was destroyed.

Bernardo smashed his terminal to pieces and instructed those around him.

“Watch over this place. I’m going to the underground production line.”

There was no longer any room for hesitation!
