### Chapter 64: A Hundred Riders Raid the Wei Camp; Their Deeds Shake the World’s Heroes [5k]

Half an hour later.

In a dense forest about ten miles away from the Bagalos Shelter, Xu Hong spread out a map on the ground and began a pre-battle meeting.

“This time, our goal isn’t to kill anyone, but to find the entrance to the Bagalos Base. Once we find the entrance, you can deal with the Truth Society as you see fit. However, until we find the entrance, unless we are exposed or cornered, no one should make a move, okay?”

Bai Fu suddenly said, “If you trust me, it would be best not to go to the Bagalos Shelter today.”

“What’s going on?” Xu Hong looked puzzled.

The others also expressed confusion: “Without going to the Bagalos Shelter, how can we complete our mission?”

Bai Fu replied, “I can assure you that the Bagalos Shelter is just a facade. The real entrance to the Bagalos Base is not there. If you go, you might either find a fake entrance by luck, or die by misfortune.”

“Where did you get this information?”

“Don’t underestimate my intelligence network,” Bai Fu said confidently.

Xu Hong frowned. He instinctively didn’t believe her, but recalling how she had found out that Li Cheng was a spy before he himself did, he wavered.

What Bai Fu said wasn’t impossible. Before the operation, the Gene Progenitor had suspected that the Bagalos Base might be a trap. That’s why the Military insisted that the Intelligence Bureau go first, to test the waters.

But what if Bai Fu’s information was wrong?

Xu Hong asked, “What’s your plan?”

Bai Fu replied, “We wait. As long as we keep our cool, the Truth Society will be more anxious than us.”

Before Xu Hong could respond, another agent from Si Chu jumped up.

“Bai Fu, I acknowledge your strength, but when it comes to intelligence, we are the professionals. Unless you can provide evidence, it’s hard for me to believe you. We don’t have time to waste; every minute we delay, San Chu might find the entrance to the Bagalos Base before us.”

Several people agreed with him. Due to Li Cheng’s incident, everyone in Si Chu was determined to perform well and turn things around.

Bai Fu looked around and smiled, “I’m just giving you a suggestion. Whether you listen or not is up to you.”

She actually hoped more people would attract the Truth Society’s attention, so she could better infiltrate the Bagalos Base. With over a hundred players leading the way, she wouldn’t need to rely on the Gene Progenitor.

However, considering she had received many good items from Si Chu, she felt obliged to warn them.

Si Chu was still divided.

Xu Hong and Xia Shi, who had interacted with Bai Fu, decided to trust her after much consideration. Others formed new teams and rushed toward the Bagalos Shelter.

Only when they were far away did Bai Fu stand up.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to wait for the Truth Society to make the first move.”

Bai Fu called Anya and Jiujiao over and headed towards the red X marked on the map.

Xu Hong and the others quickly followed, deciding to stick with Bai Fu’s plan.

Soon, they arrived at a new ambush point, a small campsite nearby.

“Would the Truth Society really hide their base here?”

“We’ll know soon enough.”

Bai Fu sat down, looking relaxed. Seeing her calmness, others settled in to wait.

Their hearts were far less calm than they appeared. Except for Xia Shi, everyone else was wavering. They wanted to leave but didn’t want to be the first to speak up, so they oscillated between regret and belief in Bai Fu.

This continued until a distant explosion broke the silence.

Xu Hong stood up abruptly. The explosion came from the direction of the Bagalos Shelter.

He glanced at Bai Fu and Xia Shi, unsure whether to investigate. At that moment, Jiujiao suddenly shouted.

“Fu Fu, they’re out!”

“Who’s out?”

Xu Hong instinctively looked in the direction Jiujiao pointed. Then he saw over a dozen people rushing out of the camp.

“The real entrance to the Bagalos Base is in the backyard of a small tavern south of the camp,” Jiujiao pulled out the map and drew a new red X.

Bai Fu nodded excitedly, “Good job. This time, we’ll capture everyone in the base!”

Jiujiao asked, “Fu Fu, should we rush in now?”

“Not yet. Let’s catch one and interrogate them first,” Bai Fu waved her hand.

Jiujiao hurriedly said, “Alright, I’ll notify them immediately.”

She waited a minute, then several people suddenly appeared from the wilderness, pinning down someone who had just come out of the camp.

“Inside, there are over two hundred people, mostly logistics personnel. But their strength is extraordinary. Additionally, there are two managers inside, including Deputy Commander Qian, who has special abilities.”

“Anything else?”

“No.”

Bai Fu had been waiting for this moment. She crumpled the map in her hands, her eyes burning with determination.

This was her “Bai Fu promotional video” for all the players. She had already shown them her appearance, concern for them, and mysterious background. Today, she would showcase her combat prowess.

She hoped the players’ praise would prompt the Planner to strengthen her abilities. But without demonstrating her capabilities in front of the players, they couldn’t fully imagine her potential.

“Let’s go!”

Bai Fu walked towards the camp opposite her.

By now, Xu Hong and the others understood what was happening.

Bai Fu had found the true entrance to the Bagalos Base!

They were shocked. Did Bai Fu have a spy within the Truth Society?

Seeing Bai Fu, Anya, and Jiujiao moving further away, they hurriedly followed.

A few minutes later.

Under Bai Fu’s arrangement, over a hundred players who had been lying in wait near the marked tavern charged forward. Before anyone in the tavern could react, they successfully seized control.

“Nice! No one escaped!”

“Heh, that old guy was trying to contact the base, but I caught him right away.”

“Fu Fu, let’s charge in together!”

The most excited were the second batch of players who joined Lin En. It was their first mission with Bai Fu, and they were thrilled.

Bai Fu didn’t waste any time and issued the final attack order.

“Move out!”

Black Tiger Afu opened the back door of the tavern and jumped in first. Other players followed, except for Jiujiao, who remained calm.

She knew her combat skills were lacking, so she came to broadcast live.

[This reporter, Jiujiao, is reporting live from above the Truth Society’s Bagalos Base. Recently, Guild Leader Sword Aura Sky Piercing of the Iron Rain Guild used himself as bait to enter the base and transmit its coordinates. Under Fu Fu’s leadership, we are about to launch a full-scale attack!]

Jiujiao enthusiastically addressed the audience in the livestream.

[Okay, let’s focus on Fu Fu!]

She turned around and saw Xu Hong asking Bai Fu, “Who exactly are you?”

Xu Hong stared intently at Bai Fu.

“I suspected you were a spy from the Former Republic or the Railway Guild, but now I realize that’s impossible. If those organizations had such a network, they would have acted long ago and not left this opportunity to us.”

Bai Fu smiled, “I have nothing to do with the Former Republic or the Railway Guild. To be precise, I have no affiliation with any known faction. I am simply myself, Bai Fu. Regardless of the past or future, my current goal aligns with yours.”

That goal was—

To hell with the Truth Society!

After hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening. I want to see where the Truth Society will run now!

As Xu Hong and Xia Shi watched in disbelief, Bai Fu jumped into the entrance.

[Ha ha, these people have no idea how powerful Fu Fu is. Now, let’s follow the first-person view and admire her prowess!]

Only after Jiujiao happily entered the tunnel did Xu Hong hurriedly pull out his personal terminal and contact Lu Yulin.

“Lu Chu.”

Lu Yulin’s urgent voice came through, “Xu Hong, how’s it going? The Truth Society has set traps. Zhao Yan and his group fell into an ambush and can’t be reached. The Military is rushing over, but they too are under attack!”

Xu Hong’s heart sank.

Zhao Yan was one of those who insisted on leaving earlier. Losing contact likely meant bad news. If he hadn’t trusted Bai Fu, would he have met the same fate in the shelter?

“Lu Chu, here’s what happened…”

He quickly told Lu Yulin what had transpired.

Lu Yulin’s face changed, “What, she went in herself? Stop her!”

Xu Hong grimaced. He wanted to stop her, but he couldn’t fight Bai Fu.

On the other side, after hearing Xu Hong’s words, Representative Basque from the Military brightened up, then coldly snorted.

“I thought she was a genius, but she’s just an impulsive fool. Her death isn’t a big deal, but if she alerts the Truth Society, letting those scoundrels escape, she truly deserves to die!”

Lu Yulin wanted to say something, but given the ambushes suffered by both the Intelligence Bureau and the Military, he could only hope Bai Fu would survive.

These old-timers were expendable, but young people were the hope of the world. If all the promising young ones died, what hope was there for the already fragile world?

…

“Deputy Commander Qian, we’ve received word that the Gene Progenitor’s people have taken the bait!”

An excited communications officer ran to Qian, who calmly nodded.

This wasn’t anything to celebrate. Their goal was to attract the Gene Progenitor’s attention. With time on their side, they could afford to wait.

“Initiate the second plan. Give the Gene Progenitor’s rats some surprises and notify Guido and Youlia. It’s time for them to act.”

Qian walked to the tea machine, about to pour a cup, when he heard a loud boom outside.

“What’s happening?”

He rushed out of the room.

A logistics personnel hurried over, “Deputy Commander Qian, bad news! The Gene Progenitor’s people have broken in through the back door!”

“What?”

Qian’s face paled.

Didn’t they surround the Gene Progenitor’s people? How did they appear at the back door?

He grabbed a gun from the wall and walked out. Soon, he saw that the main commander, Carlos, was also standing there, pale-faced.

They rushed to the parking lot near the back door and saw a group of people in various outfits causing chaos.

“Hahaha, kill, kill, tornado destroying the parking lot, crows flying planes!”

“Damn, Gil got hit!”

Qian was stunned.

He had dealt with the Gene Progenitor for years and could tell these weren’t their people.

“Who are these lunatics, daring to cause trouble here!”

He angrily approached the players.

One player noticed him and raised a pistol, but something strange happened—the player found he couldn’t pull the trigger.

“This…”

Bang!

Qian shot the player dead through the forehead.

“Waste!”

He impatiently cursed. As a telekinetic, he could easily handle a few pistols.

“Kill, kill! Just leave two or three alive!”

Qian fired wildly, killing four or five players in seconds.

But the bloody scene didn’t scare the players; instead, it excited them even more.

The more you resisted, the more…

Wait, that’s not right.

“Damn, such a strong elite monster!”

“Is this guy the head of the Bagalos Base? Killing him would net a lot of experience!”

Qian didn’t understand the players’ words, but he knew they wanted to kill him. He couldn’t help laughing.

“With you trash?”

He locked onto a player’s gun and raised his own, pressing down heavily with his index finger.

No gunfire sounded, replaced by a cold shout.

“Anya!”

Qian saw a silver-haired girl standing to the left of the player he had targeted, and next to her was a slightly shorter and bulkier power armor.

Fire!

Qian realized something was wrong, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t move. These were the restrictions he usually imposed on others, and today they backfired.

When he saw the heavy machine gun on the power armor’s right arm start spitting flames, and felt bullets striking his body, he finally regained movement, but the impact twisted him violently.

“Aaaaah—”

The scream echoed in the parking lot.

Bai Fu lifted her shotgun and fired.

Boom!

Qian fell like a rag doll, his chest and face peppered with bullets, dead beyond recognition.

[You killed the Bagalos Base Deputy Commander, contributing 36.2% to the mission. After adjusting for level differences, you gained 4525 experience points.]

[You killed a Truth Society member, earning an additional 1000 experience points.]

Standing at the parking lot entrance, Commander Carlos of the base suddenly widened his eyes, a chill creeping up his spine.

Contrastingly, the players were stunned. Seeing Bai Fu kill the Deputy Commander, who had easily taken down several players, with just three seconds of effort, they were dumbfounded.

“Is she that powerful?”

“Does Fu Fu have a cheat code?”

Those who witnessed this in Jiujiao’s livestream were even more excited.

[F*ck, even with limited power, Bai Fu is this strong. If she’s fully recovered, she could take down the entire Truth Society, right?]

[Take down the Truth Society? You underestimate Fu Fu’s potential. I think her original strength might even explode a star!]

[F*ck, what are you waiting for? The person at the entrance is running away, chase after them!]

Amidst the urgent calls, the players finally realized the situation. Carlos was fleeing, running as fast as he could, while shouting for the corridor people to lower the heavy iron door to block the players and Bai Fu.

When Xu Hong, Xia Shi, and the others jumped out of the hole, they saw the descending iron door, Anya’s continuously firing machine gun, and the frustrated faces of the players.

“Damn, this is a boss running away in a dungeon! What the f*ck!”

“It’s over, that iron door must weigh at least a ton. Our weapons can’t possibly break it.”

As the iron door descended, gradually concealing Bai Fu, Carlos behind the door sighed in relief.

He had no choice but to run. He was a non-combatant, though not weak, he was far inferior to Deputy Commander Qian. Seeing Qian killed by the silver-haired girl, he knew his presence was useless.

“What’s happening?”

A voice came from behind.

Carlos turned and saw Guido approaching. He quickly explained, “Suddenly, a bunch of lunatics showed up. Those…”

He stopped, noticing Guido’s extremely odd expression and a chill from behind.

Carlos suddenly turned around.

At that moment, he was terrified to see the iron door that should have fallen completely was slowly rising. First, a pair of feet appeared, followed by the dark barrel of a gun.

He recognized them—they belonged to the silver-haired girl who had just killed Qian!
