Chapter 87: The Silent Courtyard – Superhuman Bai Fu Has Joined the Battlefield [48k]
Before setting out officially, Bai Fu had made a large number of spirit energy shield cards in the 50-specification and placed them for sale in the shop. She also had Gao Yuan transport a batch of submachine guns, grenade launchers, RPGs, and grenades to sell to players.
This time, they were going to attack a base that was far more important to the Truth Society than the Bagalos Base. To ensure the mission’s success, she needed to make ample preparations.
After two days of effort, she successfully upgraded the level of the apprentice soul painter to Lv13.
Now, her stats were as follows:
【Health Points】: 1730/1730
【Spirit Energy】: 700/700
【Attributes】: Strength 20, Agility 21, Constitution 75, Intelligence 18, Spirit 24, Inspiration 67
Bai Fu estimated that if she could complete Youlia’s commission and destroy the Black Eagle Base, she would at least gain two levels. If she was lucky enough to obtain some special rewards, her strength could increase significantly.
At that time, on the entire Source Star, except for NPCs who had unlocked advanced professions and some high-level monsters, she would basically be at the peak of individual combat power.
Just thinking about it energized Bai Fu.
“Take me with you.”
Suddenly, the small Youlia on the table spoke up.
Bai Fu decisively refused. Of course, she understood how the small Youlia felt, but the small Youlia was just a doll and couldn’t help in any way.
“Don’t mess around. I’m afraid you’ll fall off if I put you in the car or in my pocket. I can’t exactly stuff you down my chest or in my pants, can I?”
The small Youlia said, “I don’t mind.”
Climbing, have you ever thought about the fact that while you may not mind, I do? Who would casually stuff a doll in such places?
Bai Fu frowned, “Miss Youlia, you don’t want to lose all your friends and family forever, do you? If you don’t want that, then listen to me and stay quietly in the Goli Desert. Don’t make any unnecessary moves.”
The small Youlia couldn’t argue back.
She was unable to move and could only let Bai Fu handle her.
Bai Fu entrusted the small Youlia to Elder Nissen and then instructed Gao Yuan before leading over 500 players on the expedition to the Black Eagle Base.
The current number of players in the Silent Courtyard far exceeded this number, but she chose only 500 because she didn’t have enough vehicles to transport all the players.
She had already worked very hard. When she first arrived in the Goli Desert, she only had one vehicle. By robbing everywhere, she managed to assemble a fleet of nearly 30 vehicles.
From an extreme perspective, 30 vehicles could carry 900 players, but this would mean the players wouldn’t be able to bring weapons. Therefore, Bai Fu ultimately chose 500 players who could afford weapons to accompany her in the charge.
…
In the Former Republic, at the Dusk Canyon, many military green tents stood by a river flowing through the canyon.
These tents were temporary structures, and outside them, one could see armored vehicles and power armors. Although these weapons weren’t particularly advanced, in this wasteland era, they were considered formidable firepower.
At this moment, in the largest tent, Commander Damian of the Former Republic was discussing battle plans with reinforcements from the Railway Guild and the Gene Progenitor.
A few days ago, the three factions simultaneously received news indicating the specific locations of four Truth Society bases.
Frankly, this news was astonishing and hard to believe, but considering the location marked on the email was within their territory, the Former Republic and the Railway Guild sent people to investigate.
Upon investigation, they discovered that the content of the anonymous email was indeed true!
Although the relationships among the three factions weren’t particularly good and there were occasional conflicts, they decided to temporarily set aside past grievances and work together to eliminate the Truth Society due to its greater threat.
“According to the scouts’ reports, the Truth Society has clearly sensed the danger and has withdrawn all hidden guards from outside the base in preparation for retreat.”
“But judging from the direction of their retreat toward the Dusk Canyon, they haven’t realized our presence. This is our opportunity. We must completely annihilate this force and teach the Truth Society a lesson so they dare not act recklessly again!”
Damian gave a passionate speech.
However, the gene progenitors and agents from the Four Directions were more concerned with the sender of the email they received four days ago.
[Xu Hong, do you think the email was really sent by Bai Fu?]
A message popped up on their personal terminals.
Xu Hong glanced at the smiling Yago beside him.
[You kid, this is the thirteenth time you’ve asked in four days. How am I supposed to know?]
[I’m just curious. Speaking of which, we haven’t seen Bai Fu in over a month. During this time, I visited the Wildfire Gang leader in prison several times. That old man kept boasting about how he recognized Bai Fu’s extraordinary qualities early on.]
—Have you heard of Bai Fu? She’s the rogue who fought the Truth Society with her fists and kicked the Gene Progenitor with her feet, still evading capture despite being hunted by two major forces! She used to be under my command!
Thinking of the Wildfire Gang leader’s words, Yago found it amusing.
[A few days ago, Xia Shi contacted me too, asking if I had any new news about Bai Fu. All I could do was spread my hands in frustration.]
Xu Hong squinted his eyes: [Why are you talking about this? Young people shouldn’t reminisce like old folks.]
Yago shrugged: [Xu Hong, actually, I think the person who sent the email is most likely Bai Fu. Only a few people know your personal terminal number, and none of the others sent emails. So, it must be Bai Fu, right?]
Xu Hong remained silent. He and the Chief Lu also held this view.
[Xu Hong, from every angle, Bai Fu has nothing to do with the Truth Society. But why does the military want to kill Bai Fu? Why is Bai Fu wanted? I joined the Four Directions because I agreed with the idea of rebuilding order on the ruins. But now, the higher-ups want to kill someone who sacrifices herself for ordinary people. I truly don’t understand.]
Yago recalled the scene he saw when he and Xia Shi visited the abandoned cooling plant. He couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Seeing Yago’s latest message, Xu Hong’s expression changed immediately. He quickly replied.
[Be cautious!]
He felt something was amiss too, but such matters couldn’t be openly discussed.
He felt Bai Fu might know something. It would be great if he could meet her again.
…
When the convoy reached the vicinity of the Dusk Canyon, they stopped. Moving so many vehicles together would attract too much attention, and Bai Fu didn’t want to become the primary target of the Black Eagle Base. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have secretly contacted the Gene Progenitor and other forces.
She was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the Black Eagle Base and the Gene Progenitor to clash, and then she would lead the players into the battlefield.
Unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t fight without assurance. She had plenty of ways to level up and didn’t need to risk her life for some experience points.
Bai Fu assigned reconnaissance tasks to the players after getting off the vehicles.
Generally, scouts require exceptional military skills, physical fitness, and psychological resilience. Carefree players clearly did not meet these requirements.
However, compared to regular scouts, players had advantages in transmitting messages conveniently and sharing real-time video feeds, allowing for immediate monitoring of the battlefield.
After sending off the players who accepted the reconnaissance task, Bai Fu began warning the remaining players.
“I know you players enjoy chatting, but today’s situation is different. If we are discovered by the enemy, we will face bombardment. To avoid unnecessary casualties, please try not to speak until I give the order. Even if you have something to say to me, raise your hand first.”
This warning was very necessary.
Experienced players were fine, but the new players who were excitedly jumping around in the vehicles were still quite nervous.
Bai Fu understood their feelings, considering this time they had taken on two large missions.
The first mission was a faction quest issued by the Silent Courtyard. The reward model was similar to the last assault on Graham, but with richer rewards.
The player with the highest contribution would receive 50,000 experience points, 30 faction reputation points, and 2 Battle Etiquette Cards.
Currently, for any player, this reward was enough to drive them crazy.
The second mission was automatically triggered when the convoy reached the vicinity of the Dusk Canyon.
[Multinational Joint Operation]
[Task Description: The joint strike against the Truth Society is about to begin. Show your prowess on the battlefield!]
[Task Objectives:
1. Merciless Slaughter – Each kill of a Truth Society member awards 1000 experience points;
2. Decapitation Action I – Kill Pedro, the head of the Black Eagle Base, with rewards based on contribution;
3. Decapitation Action II – Kill the mechanic Qiyuan, with rewards based on contribution;
4. Eliminate the Black Eagle Base – Rewards based on contribution.]
[Task Rewards: Rewards based on contribution]
This mission was similar to the one triggered when Bai Fu attacked the Bagalos Base. Bai Fu also received the task.
Considering the higher specifications of the Black Eagle Base compared to the Bagalos Base, the rewards for this mission would undoubtedly be much richer.
Bai Fu found a clean rock to sit on and waited quietly for the players to return with reconnaissance information.
…
Meanwhile, outside the Black Eagle Base, Pedro, the head of the Black Eagle Base, looked back at the base.
“Pity.”
Before the president could formally initiate the counterattack plan, the location of the Black Eagle Base became exposed due to Graham’s sudden betrayal. The president immediately ordered them to withdraw, forcing them to abandon the Black Eagle Base.
It took nearly ten years of effort to build this base.
“Graham!”
Pedro’s heart bled. He swore he would bring Graham back and torture him with every cruel method he could think of.
Suppressing his murderous intent, Pedro turned to Qi Yuan, who was sitting in the car, and said, “There might be dangers on the retreat route. We’ll rely on your strength then.”
Qi Yuan nodded with a smile, “Piece of cake.”
He had absolute confidence in his abilities.
Who could kill him?
Unless he faced a massive encirclement by a large army or if the enemy used their ultimate missiles to bombard him, he had absolute confidence in tearing apart the enemy’s defenses with his mechanical battalion.
He wasn’t an ordinary mechanic. He not only possessed mechanical manufacturing technology that left most people in awe but also had electromagnetic abilities that all mechanics envied. With the aid of his abilities, his manufacturing speed far surpassed that of ordinary mechanics, and his mechanical dogs and mechanical bees could unleash powers far beyond the norm.
Thanks to this special ability, he had gained a notorious reputation on the Darknet and became an S-ranked killer by his twenties.
Later, the Truth Society noticed his abilities and offered him extremely favorable conditions, so he joined the Truth Society.
Although he wasn’t the head here, this was merely because he didn’t care to manage others. His status was far above what Pedro could match.
After briefing everyone, the Black Eagle Base forces began an orderly withdrawal.
When they approached the Dusk Canyon, the Allied Forces, who had been waiting, immediately detected their presence.
“Commander Damian, an unidentified convoy is heading towards our ambush zone!”
Damian perked up. They had blocked the nearby roads a few days ago. Now, seeing a convoy appear suddenly, it could only be the Truth Society.
“Let them enter the ambush zone. As soon as they come in, launch the attack!”
He shouted loudly, and everyone became excited.
Here it comes, the fruits of our labor!
A few minutes later, as the Black Eagle Base convoy entered the ambush zone, a power armor hiding at a high position raised its right arm.
Bam bam bam!
Machine guns started spewing flames. Following this, the machine cannons on the armored vehicles and the firearms held by the agents and soldiers also opened fire.
The first few unlucky ones in the convoy were instantly blown apart, blood and brains splattering everywhere.
“Enemy attack, enemy attack!”
Shouts rang out.
Pedro’s face was grim. “Are these people dogs? Their noses are so sharp; they really came to ambush us.”
He wasn’t particularly panicked since he had prepared well, but he was still frustrated because he had been praying for everything to go smoothly. Now, it seemed like his prayers had gone unanswered.
“Counterattack, damn it, do you think I’m a vegetarian?” Pedro looked at Qi Yuan beside him. “We can’t delay too long, or the number of enemies might increase.”
Qi Yuan shrugged with a smile, “I’ve already sent my mechanical bee swarm as soon as the enemy fired. Just wait and see.”
He jumped out of the car.
Watching Qi Yuan’s retreating figure, Pedro slightly relaxed.
Extraordinary individuals usually couldn’t bear the main offensive load in battle, but Qi Yuan was different. He was a true one-man army.
As long as Qi Yuan launched the attack, everything would turn around!
Pedro had witnessed the power of the mechanical bee swarm. Those toxic needles could kill a type II amoeba!
“What is this?”
“Mechanical bees, retreat quickly, toxins!”
The Allied Forces discovered something unusual, but it was too late. The toxic needles shot from the mechanical bee swarm hit multiple warriors’ necks, causing the poison to spread rapidly. Within seconds, those hit fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
“Save me, save me!”
“Damn thing.”
Damian gritted his teeth. He hadn’t expected the Truth Society to have such tactics. Just as he was commanding his men to extinguish the mechanical bee swarm, the Black Eagle Base forces attacked from another direction.
Infantry formations and the convoy feigned attacks, while Qi Yuan led the main assault.
Yes, one person leading the main assault.
Wearing a specially customized power armor, he drove hundreds of mechanical dogs, each equipped with firearms, to charge at the Allied Forces from the flank.
The mechanical dogs were small, fast, and agile, even faster than Bolt. Facing the Allied Forces’ barrage of gunfire, they easily broke through and could lock onto targets and shoot simultaneously.
“It’s Qi Yuan, damn it, the intelligence never mentioned he was in the Black Eagle Base. This is bad!”
Recognizing Qi Yuan, Damian’s eyes narrowed. He realized that it would be difficult to completely stop this Truth Society retreat force today.
“Haha.”
Qi Yuan laughed wildly.
He thoroughly enjoyed the scene of harvesting enemy lives with his mechanical army. In his view, a man’s romance should be guns (mechanics) and roses (blood)!
Pedro behind him nodded.
As expected, although the enemy was prepared, they had overlooked Qi Yuan and thus revealed their weaknesses.
“Wait for my orders.”
He immediately contacted all drivers via walkie-talkie, ready to rush out from the rain of bullets at any moment.
At this point, neither Pedro, nor Qi Yuan, nor Damian had any idea that Bai Fu, who had received reports from the players, was lurking in the shadows.
“This is the combat power of a fully developed mechanic?”
If this video went viral, Bai Fu believed many players would switch to becoming mechanics.
But it didn’t matter. She would use her actions to show all players that at this moment, in the Dusk Canyon, she, Bai Fu, was the strongest!
“Now it’s our turn!”
With Bai Fu’s order, over 500 players split into five hundred groups and charged at the Black Eagle Base convoy.
“Sir, it’s bad, we’re under attack from the flank!”
“What?”
Pedro’s eyelids twitched violently upon receiving the message.
He hastily turned his head, and from afar, he saw a young woman wearing a spotless white shirt, black mask, and black leather gloves walking steadily towards him.
“Quick, call Qi Yuan back!”
Pedro felt the threat of death.
PS: It’s the end of the month, so I’m putting out a bowl for some monthly votes.
