Resourceful Bai Fu [4k]

Under the influence of that player who joined the Truth Society, players who liked to browse communities quickly learned about Bai Fu’s death.

When they started spreading the news, some NPCs who overheard their conversations or screams in the game also learned about Bai Fu’s death.

“Is this real?”

Some people didn’t believe it.

Others believed it.

Still others questioned it and used various means to inquire from the Truth Society.

Thus, before Graham’s people even reached the Yilinas Settlement, the President of the Truth Society had already received messages passed up through the ranks.

He quickly called Chief of Operations Department Bernardo over.

“What’s going on? Rumors are spreading everywhere that Bai Fu has died, and you’re currently sending people to confirm the situation?”

Bernardo was confused.

He had strictly ordered his subordinates not to leak any information, so how did the President know?

“It happened like this…”

He hurriedly explained the situation.

The President frowned deeply.

Could it be that there really was an insider leaking information? Otherwise, how could the news of Bai Fu’s death have leaked?

Now, the Gene Progenitor was already on a mission to find trouble with the Truth Society due to the previous attack incident. To avoid being betrayed at a critical moment by an insider, he needed to conduct another internal cleanup!

However, considering that he accidentally killed a high-ranking member last time, this cleanup must be done more carefully.

Putting aside these complex thoughts for now, the President asked Bernardo to contact Graham immediately to confirm the situation.

Half an hour later, accurate information came back.

“The Darknet has verified it, and our own people have confirmed it too. The body sent by Rattlesnake is indeed Bai Fu.”

“Good, good, hahaha!”

The President was overjoyed, pounding the table beside him.

He once wanted to recruit Bai Fu into the Truth Society, but now, killing this overambitious insect was a great joy.

“Bernardo, spread this news. I want those who dare to disrespect the Truth Society to see this!”

This is the Truth Society!

Anyone who dares to oppose the Truth Society, whether a commoner, an extraordinary individual, or a powerful faction, will ultimately face annihilation!

After sending Bernardo away, the President called together the members of the headquarters who were researching spiritual energy.

Bai Fu’s strength had increased too rapidly, whether she was hiding her true power or growing quickly. It was certain that Bai Fu was a spiritual energy genius.

“I’ll have someone bring Bai Fu’s body back as soon as possible. Prepare yourselves, and find out what makes her different from ordinary people. This is crucial for my future and the entire Truth Society!”

Each researcher was excited by this news.

In this day and age, finding a person with extremely high spiritual energy talent for research was difficult.

The Truth Society successfully captured Youlia, but her abilities were too complex for them to effectively study. They could only keep her locked up. Now, if Bai Fu’s body could be brought back intact, it would greatly boost their research!

…

Under Bernardo’s direction, news of Bai Fu’s confirmed death spread.

To make his words more credible, he had the Truth Society members escorting Bai Fu take photos of her corpse and Darknet identity card side by side.

This became the most compelling evidence. Even those who were unwilling to admit it had to believe Bai Fu was truly dead.

“Life is unpredictable.”

As intelligence personnel, the members of the Gene Progenitor’s Bureau received the news first.

After Bai Fu and the Gene Progenitor fell out, those who were close to Bai Fu, like Xu Hong, secretly prayed for her to escape the Gene Progenitor’s pursuit.

Who would have thought that Bai Fu would survive the Gene Progenitor’s assassination attempt only to end up in the hands of the Truth Society.

On the other side, Xia Shi received the news at the same time.

Looking at the photo of Bai Fu lying peacefully in the freezing device, she was momentarily stunned.

She clearly remembered Bai Fu telling one of her followers to comfort her, saying, “At any time, at any place, if you encounter trouble, you can come to me.”

Now, Bai Fu was dead, where could she go?

Finally meeting someone she could confide in, only to lose everything, all because of the Truth Society!

Although she was no longer in the intelligence bureau, she still wanted to burn herself completely to destroy the Truth Society!

Except for the members of Si Chu, most others were more impressed by the Truth Society’s dominance.

Bai Fu could embarrass the Truth Society many times, but no matter how many times she embarrassed them, it wouldn’t hurt the Truth Society’s core. But whenever the Truth Society caught a chance, it could lead to Bai Fu’s downfall.

“It turns out Rattlesnake really got lucky. So many people couldn’t find Bai Fu, and he managed to do it. That’s eight hundred thousand yuan! But the most important thing isn’t the money; it’s the fame and status he’ll gain after this.”

“If wealth can kill, we should consider giving him difficult tasks next time.”

“Why did he give the body to the Truth Society instead of the Gene Progenitor? He could have made twenty thousand more!”

“Who knows?”

The Gene Progenitor was also puzzled. They strongly suspected that the Truth Society had secretly promised Rattlesnake more benefits to undermine the Gene Progenitor.

Recently, the Gene Progenitor and the Truth Society had been in a fierce conflict, and both sides were offering bounties for Bai Fu’s head. The Truth Society was capable of doing such things.

“Damn Rattlesnake, notify the intelligence bureau to beat him to death if you ever encounter him!”

The Gene Progenitor members were furious, while Bernardo was very happy, though he wasn’t carried away by joy.

Now was not the time to relax. If Bai Fu’s body was intercepted on the way, they would lose face.

He contacted Graham immediately, asking him to send more people to assist.

…

In the afternoon, a warm breeze blew.

The vehicle carrying Bai Fu’s body raced across the wilderness.

Suddenly, the driver noticed something unusual: “There’s someone following us!”

From the rearview mirror, he saw the dust raised by other vehicles.

The psychic sitting in the passenger seat sneered, “Graham’s concerns were justified. Someone really wants to ambush us on the way.”

The driver laughed, “They can try to ambush us, but to chase us from behind, that’s ridiculous!”

With a command to sit tight, the car sped up at an astonishing speed across the contaminated wilderness.

The driver skillfully maneuvered, shaking off the pursuing car.

“Think my driving skills and familiarity with this area are just for show?”

He drank some water, but before he finished, he noticed the pursuing car again in the rearview mirror.

Pfft!

“How is this possible? I clearly…”

Wait!

The driver’s pupils contracted. He realized that when he avoided contamination sources by turning left and right, the pursuing car went straight through them.

So, it was normal for the car to catch up, but its actions were abnormal.

Who would drive like that? Were they really not afraid of infection? If they caught up and took Bai Fu’s body, they might die anyway.

Unless…

“They are zealots!”

The psychic’s face changed drastically.

Only a powerful faction could mobilize zealots. They began to be thankful for Graham sending people to pick them up earlier, or they might not make it back today.

After a chase, the Truth Society’s vehicle was forced to stop. Bullets from the rear shattered the tires, forcing the car to halt.

“Quick, reinforcements are coming. We must prevent Bai Fu’s body from being taken!”

Two vehicles blocked the path. Both sides jumped out and started shooting at each other from a distance.

One side was trained Truth Society agents, the other was players following Bai Fu. The fight was intense.

This was exactly what the players wanted.

Bai Fu had instructed them to find out about the Truth Society’s base near Yilinas, not to kill anyone. Therefore, they couldn’t eliminate the Truth Society agents nor let themselves be eliminated. This standoff was the best scenario.

Drag it out.

A few minutes later, cheers erupted from the opposing side.

“They’re here, reinforcements are here, ha, let’s finish them!”

The distant dust indicated that the Truth Society wasn’t bluffing. Players looked at each other.

An opportunity arose!

Sword Aura Sky Piercing immediately gave orders:

“We’ll handle the vehicles, and you guys infiltrate the Truth Society base!”

Before coming, they had planned two strategies.

A plan: Let the Truth Society capture them and bring them to the base.

B plan: If A failed, continue tracking the Truth Society and find their base.

As reinforcements approached, Sword Aura Sky Piercing called Old Dog and others to the car.

“Trying to escape?”

“Hmph, stop them!”

With reinforcements, the Truth Society agents’ morale soared. They formed a formation and rushed out quickly.

Facing their attack, the remaining players fought and retreated, putting on their best performances.

Finally, after five minutes of continuous pursuit, three players were dead, and the other three were surrounded due to empty ammunition.

“Run, why aren’t you running?”

An agent shot one player in the leg and waved his hand.

“Take them all.”

The three players were subdued and thrown into the Truth Society’s vehicle.

Though they would surely die this time, it didn’t matter as long as they could find the location of the Truth Society base. The experience gained from exploration would compensate for the loss, and new missions could be triggered.

“Captain Graham, we’ve met up with the team retrieving Bai Fu’s body. Yes, we were attacked, but we repelled the attackers and caught three alive. They are zealots. Rest assured, we’ll bring them back soon.”

After repelling the players, the Truth Society convoy returned without further incidents, but for safety, they took a longer route to reach the base.

This base differed from the Bagalos Base. It wasn’t a military base but an agent’s station, with fewer people but each formidable.

Upon confirming that the freezing device contained Bai Fu, Graham immediately had the body sent to headquarters and personally interrogated the three players.

These players had prepared countermeasures beforehand.

“You won’t get anything from us. This is just a warning. The Gene Progenitor will eventually sweep the Truth Society into the trash, long live the Gene Progenitor!”

Graham’s face darkened.

“Are these the useless people sent by the Gene Progenitor? Their ambitions never die!”

He called over the agents responsible for interrogation and asked them to extract information from the players, but they got nothing even after beating them.

Graham felt regret, but thinking about Bai Fu’s death, his mood improved.

Calculating the time, Bai Fu should have been airlifted to headquarters by now.

He tried contacting Bernardo: “How’s it going?”

Bernardo laughed on the other end: “Just arrived five minutes ago. The transport team is bringing Bai Fu’s body to the laboratory. Graham, you did well. The President will certainly commend you.”

Graham modestly replied: “Just doing my job.”

Bernardo smiled silently, following the transport team as the freezing device containing Bai Fu’s body was pushed into the headquarters’ Lab 1.

In the lab, seven spiritual energy researchers stood on either side.

“Be careful.”

“Open the freezing device. I need to check her spiritual energy compatibility now.”

Under the operation of a lab assistant, the freezing device was opened, and Bai Fu’s body was moved to a detection device.

Everyone watched intently as numbers on the device flickered.

What would it be?

As they watched, something strange happened.

Bai Fu’s body vanished like a phantom in front of everyone.

What?

The people standing in front of the device initially thought they were hallucinating, but when they hurriedly checked the device, Bai Fu’s body was indeed gone.

Vanishing into thin air—how could this be possible unless it was a trick from the start!

Bernardo was sweating profusely. He urgently contacted Rattlesnake, but all his private messages went unanswered.

“What did you say?”

The Truth Society President was stunned upon receiving the message.

He was fooled, fooled! Gradually, he understood everything. Yes, Bai Fu, Rattlesnake, and the Gene Progenitor must have colluded to trick him. Why else would Rattlesnake choose the Truth Society over the Gene Progenitor’s million yuan offer?

He was truly foolish. He should have known that the sudden fallout between the Gene Progenitor and Bai Fu was all a show, designed to humiliate him.

Zealots!

The Gene Progenitor was full of zealots, and Bai Fu was one too!

The Truth Society President erupted in anger.

At this moment, Bernardo came back.

“President, bad news, Bai Fu uploaded proof that she’s still alive on the Darknet.”

“Bai Fu! Gene Progenitor!”

Screams echoed from the President’s office.

That day, all members of the Truth Society headquarters were silent as cicadas.
