Chapter 67: Rich Woman Proves Her Strength with 50 Bucks [4k]

On the path leading to Bagalos Shelter, the army of the Gene Progenitor was still entangled with the ambush set up by the Truth Society.

When they were first ambushed, the Gene Progenitor’s forces suffered heavy losses; several vehicles at the front had been destroyed.

However, the military representative, Basque, was no ordinary person. He did not disappoint the high command’s expectations and quickly calmed down from his rage, starting to command the troops and the intelligence bureau to counterattack.

In terms of individual combat skills, there wasn’t much difference between the Gene Progenitor and the Truth Society, but in terms of battlefield coordination, the Gene Progenitor, who had fought many major battles before, was stronger.

Therefore, despite the Truth Society having the upper hand initially, as time passed, the situation gradually evened out.

“Boom Boom Boom—”

The sounds of artillery explosions and gunfire mixed together, composing a deathly symphony on the battlefield.

From the command vehicle, Basque, Lu Yulin, and the Third Department Head watched their personnel engaging the ambushers along the roadside, all wearing grim expressions.

This was not the situation they wanted to see.

For Lu Yulin and the Third Department Head, every moment that passed increased the danger for the agents sent to Bagalos Shelter.

For Basque, his mission here was to destroy the Truth Society’s base. Before coming, he had boasted that he would handle the matter beautifully, but now, even if he succeeded, he would gain nothing.

He needed to find a way to break this deadlock.

Basque’s gaze fell on the two big shots of the intelligence bureau.

To achieve his accomplishments, he had to risk involving the intelligence bureau, but since they belonged to different institutions, he couldn’t directly command Lu Yulin or the Third Department Head. It seemed he would have to offer some benefits.

As Basque was pondering, the front suddenly erupted in chaos.

“What’s going on?” he frowned.

Immediately, an astonished voice came through the walkie-talkie: “Commander Basque, the Truth Society thugs in my main attack direction have suddenly withdrawn!”

“What?”

Basque was shocked.

First, he suspected it might be another trap, but upon closer reflection, it didn’t make sense. Why would the Truth Society leave such a large opening? They wouldn’t have enough manpower to cover a new ambush.

Soon, more exclamation marks began to ring out over the walkie-talkie.

“Where are they?”

“Our forces have broken through the defenses and are advancing towards Bagalos Shelter!”

“The enemy is retreating, should we pursue them?”

Everyone around looked at Basque, and only he could make the decision.

Basque hesitated.

This was too unusual. He completely failed to understand the Truth Society’s move. This was not a retreat, nor could it be a trap because that would be too foolish.

Just as he was struggling, someone nearby suddenly shouted.

“The Truth Society’s base has been breached by FuFu! They are returning to support it; we can’t let them escape!”

What?

Everyone on the vehicle turned their heads in horror, realizing that one of the odd people brought by Bai Fu was shouting this.

FuFu isn’t Bai Fu, right? Although they knew through Xu Hong that Bai Fu had found the true location of the Bagalos Base, it was too absurd to say that Bai Fu had breached the Truth Society’s base so soon after.

“Where did you get this information?” Basque asked urgently.

“It was told to me by the person attacking the base with FuFu.” The player pointed out hurriedly, “Forget it, arguing about this now is useless. Send reinforcements to pursue them immediately. This is the perfect opportunity to eliminate the Bagalos Base. If we delay, they might escape!”

Basque clenched his right fist.

He didn’t want to believe it, but Bai Fu breaching the base did explain the Truth Society thugs’ strange behavior.

“Pursue them!”

He gave the order immediately.

Receiving the order, the Gene Progenitor’s soldiers split into two groups, rapidly advancing in coordination with various vehicles. They quickly crossed the trenches dug by the Truth Society. One group entered Bagalos Shelter, rescuing the besieged intelligence agents, while the other headed towards the position previously announced by Xu Hong.

It was too smooth.

Less than ten minutes ago, the Gene Progenitor soldiers were locked in a fierce battle with the Truth Society. They never imagined the situation would turn like this, almost feeling like they weren’t fighting but sightseeing.

“I heard Bai Fu from Si Chu broke the Truth Society’s base.”

“Really?”

“What kind of superhuman is this?”

“At least she was brought this time. Otherwise, if this standoff continued, God knows how many people would die.”

The Gene Progenitor soldiers felt incredibly fortunate.

In contrast, the Truth Society members were on the verge of despair.

Pursued by the Gene Progenitor, they frantically fled towards the base, hoping to reach it where they would have a chance to escape, even if they couldn’t fight back.

But they never expected that when they finally reached the base entrance, they saw a tightly shut door!

“All those who don’t surrender will be killed!”

Basque roared loudly.

…

At the same time, inside the base separated by just a wall, Bai Fu took advantage of Youlia’s unwillingness to harm her and successfully deceived Youlia, starting to attack her.

Despite Youlia’s skills, once she was locked in the throat by Bai Fu’s arm, she lost control and fell to the ground.

“It’s getting better!”

“Just hold on a little longer. Once the Gene Progenitor eliminates the Truth Society’s troops outside, this battle will end!”

“FuFu, keep going! Reinforcements are on the way!”

“Fu Master, strike her midsection!”

Seeing this, the Si Chu agents and surviving players were overjoyed.

Most of the players in the live stream were also excited, though a few who disliked Bai Fu were furious, but no one cared about them now. Everyone was discussing what rewards the players involved in the action would receive after the mission.

No one thought Youlia could turn the tide at this point.

Could a frail mage resist a tank-like FuFu?

Even if Youlia had the ability to turn the tide, there were still a group of Gene Progenitor soldiers waiting for her outside.

Damn, I’m so jealous. Following Bai Fu is really great. Luckily, I’ve already bought a ticket to Lin En. Next time, I’ll join too.

Indeed, even if no monsters were killed, the basic reward for eliminating the Bagalos Base would still be shared during the task settlement. This is so satisfying.

You can envy and be jealous all you want!

The remaining players laughed.

They stopped focusing on the live stream chat and concentrated on Bai Fu and Youlia.

Watching women fight is enjoyable, watching beautiful girls fight is even more enjoyable!

But soon, they stopped laughing. Youlia was only locked in the throat, not her internal spiritual energy source.

To break free from Bai Fu’s restraint, she started using skills recklessly.

Boom Boom Boom—

Transparent white veils fell from the sky, some hitting Bai Fu’s back, most hitting the surrounding players.

Youlia hoped to distract Bai Fu by killing players, which caused those players to suffer. Just moments ago, they were proud, but now they were crushed into corpses, losing a lot of experience.

Under the continuous bombardment of the white veils, the corridor walls and ceiling collapsed.

If Digging Maiden hadn’t dodged quickly, she would have been hit in the head.

“Shit!”

Looking at the pile of cement rubble in front of her, Digging Maiden was frustrated. She had no choice but to interrupt the live broadcast.

Those who followed Convert to Me Fu and others were helpless too. They wanted to help Bai Fu, but their strength wasn’t enough to blast through the rubble.

They could only wait.

Given Bai Fu’s previous performance, she shouldn’t lose to Youlia.

Bai Fu was in a difficult situation.

To prevent Youlia from escaping, she not only used her arm to choke her neck but also tightly clamped her waist with her thighs.

Ordinarily, someone in this position wouldn’t last ten seconds before passing out, but Youlia’s abilities were too extreme. Her spiritual energy field kept her limbs from being fully restrained.

She had to use [Frenzy] and [Surge of Power (inferior)] to temporarily boost her power to 21 points.

“I don’t believe your spiritual energy is infinite!”

Bai Fu was taking a gamble, betting that Youlia’s spiritual energy would deplete faster than her stamina.

Youlia struggled desperately, but due to her reluctance to kill Bai Fu, she had limited options left.

She tried to hit Bai Fu’s arm with white veils, but Bai Fu remained unaffected. She also tried floating in the air and falling heavily, but Bai Fu was still unaffected.

Continuing like this, her avatar would eventually be drained by Bai Fu and killed.

Too outrageous.

How could there be such a “healthy” woman in the world?

When Youlia received the order from the Truth Society’s president, she thought her fate might change. She wanted to eat Bai Fu’s photo, but meeting Bai Fu made her feel even more humiliated.

If she died here, finding another opportunity to contact Bai Fu would take forever.

Kill her… no, she can’t be killed.

Youlia continued her threat: “Bai Fu, this is just my avatar. Even if you kill this avatar, I’ll come back!”

Bai Fu laughed.

Sure, next time I’ll treat you to a neck lock combo.

“Are you afraid of something happening to the people you care about?”

“Afraid? Not just you, I’ll eventually exterminate the Truth Society!” Bai Fu sneered.

She sensed that the force field around Youlia was weakening. Could she finally tighten her grip?

Youlia took a deep breath and changed her strategy: “Do you hate the Truth Society?”

Bai Fu replied: “The Truth Society wants to kill me, so I must stop them.”

“In fact, I hate the Truth Society too,” Youlia suddenly said.

Trying to fool me?

Bai Fu rolled her eyes.

Youlia continued: “I need you because studying you can help me escape the Truth Society’s control. Then I can seek revenge. The Truth Society is powerful beyond your imagination. If you truly want to eliminate them, you should cooperate with me.”

“Is the Truth Society really that powerful? I haven’t felt it,” Bai Fu remained unmoved.

Youlia said: “You haven’t met the Truth Society’s president. You don’t know how strong he is. After you meet him, you won’t think so.”

“Stop talking nonsense. No matter how strong he is, he’ll die when he meets me. As for you, I hope I never find your real body.”

“Do you rely on the Gene Progenitor? I advise you to give up on that idea. The Gene Progenitor harbors deeper secrets than the Truth Society. Getting too close to the Gene Progenitor won’t end well.”

Hmm?

This caught Bai Fu’s attention. Li Cheng had also mentioned something similar when he was captured.

“To be honest, I don’t have much spiritual energy left. How about a deal?” Youlia changed the subject, “If you agree to let me study you, I can give you anything I own, including my life, after we succeed.”

Before Bai Fu could respond, she added: “I know you won’t agree now, but it’s okay. After you interact with the Truth Society and the Gene Progenitor for a while, you’ll believe what I said.”

Bai Fu’s eyes flickered.

She suddenly realized this was an opportunity. Youlia was an expert in spiritual energy, and she lacked knowledge in that area.

“Anything you promise?”

“Yes.”

Bai Fu said: “I don’t believe you unless you give me some spiritual energy knowledge first.”

Rich woman, prove your strength with 50 bucks!

Youlia fell silent for a while: “Go to Shelter No. 11 in the Goli Desert. I’ll find a way to contact you.”

“Alright, looking forward to our next meeting.”

Bai Fu tightened her grip further. Finally, Youlia’s spiritual energy ran out, and she fainted from suffocation in just a few seconds.

She slowly released her sore limbs, glanced at Youlia’s avatar a few times, picked up the fallen gun, and shot the avatar away.

[You killed Youlia (Avatar), 96.3% contribution, after level correction, you gained 43,817 experience points]

Seeing the substantial experience reward, Bai Fu was delighted. It was worth rolling on the ground with Youlia for several minutes.

“Shelter No. 11?”

Bai Fu wasn’t worried it was a trap set by Youlia. After all, she could send players to clear the way for her.

Of course, she didn’t intend to actually cooperate with Youlia. She simply wanted to trick some spiritual energy knowledge out of her.

No problem.

Didn’t Youlia say she wanted to study her to seek revenge on the Truth Society? When she destroys the Truth Society, what reason will Youlia have to blame her?

Bai Fu looked around.

The trouble was resolved. It was time to figure out how to leave the base.

She walked deeper into the base and soon found another exit. The exit was sealed, but she could hear voices on the other side through the door.

“Bombs are set! Retreat quickly!”

Bai Fu quickly moved aside. With a loud explosion, the door crashed down.

In the thick smoke, she saw Basque leading a squad of soldiers rushing in.

“Bai Fu?!”

Basque stopped. He never expected to encounter Bai Fu here. He was stunned at first, then his face lit up with joy.

“Why are you alone? Where are the others?”

Bai Fu answered honestly: “The corridor collapsed, separating them on the other side.”

Basque nodded. Just as Bai Fu thought he was going to rescue the others, he suddenly raised his pistol.

“Kill her!”

Bang!

A bullet shot straight into Bai Fu’s forehead.
