Chapter 63: Hundreds of Riders Raid the "Wei" Camp, Their Achievements Shock the World
Half an hour later.
In a dense forest over ten miles from the Bagaros Refuge, Xu Hong spread out the Map on the ground and began the pre-battle meeting.
“This time, our objective isn’t to kill, but to locate the entrance to the Bagaros Base. Once we find the entrance, you can deal with those Truth Society scum however you like. But until then, unless your identity is exposed and you’re in a desperate situation, do not make a move, understand?”
Bai Fu suddenly said, “If you’re willing to trust me, it’s best not to go to the Bagaros Refuge today.”
“What’s going on?” Xu Hong looked puzzled.
The others were also confused. “If we don’t go to the Bagaros Refuge, how are we supposed to complete the mission?”
Bai Fu replied, “I can say with full responsibility that the Bagaros Refuge is just a decoy. The real entrance to the Bagaros Base isn’t there. If you go, at best you’ll find a fake entrance, and at worst, you’re walking into death.”
“Where did you learn this from?”
“Don’t underestimate my intelligence network,” Bai Fu said confidently.
Xu Hong frowned tightly. His instinct told him not to believe her, but then he remembered how Bai Fu had known Li Cheng was a spy even before Li Cheng exposed himself.
That gave him pause.
What Bai Fu said wasn’t impossible.
Even before the operation, the Gene Primordials already suspected that the Bagaros Base might be a trap.
Otherwise, the military wouldn’t have insisted on sending in the Intelligence Bureau first—they clearly wanted them to step into the pit.
But what if Bai Fu’s intel was wrong?
Xu Hong pressed, “What’s your plan?”
Bai Fu said, “Wait. As long as we can stay patient, the Truth Society will grow more anxious than us.”
Before Xu Hong could respond, another Special Agent from Division Four jumped in.
“Bai Fu, I acknowledge your strength, but when it comes to intel, we’re the professionals. Unless you can provide proof, it’s hard to believe your words. We don’t have time to delay. Every minute wasted gives Division Three a chance to find the entrance to the Bagaros Base before us.”
His words gained several nods of agreement.
Because of the Li Cheng incident, the members of Division Four were determined to redeem themselves with an impressive turnaround.
Bai Fu looked around and smiled. “I’m merely offering a suggestion. Whether or not you choose to listen is entirely up to you.”
Truth be told, she was more than happy to have more people distract the Truth Society.
That way, she could break into the Bagaros Base more easily later.
With over a hundred Players paving the way, she wouldn’t have to rely on the Gene Primordials at all.
But considering how many good things she had gotten from Division Four, she felt somewhat indebted to them, so she offered a warning out of courtesy.
Division Four was still split.
Xu Hong, Xia Shi, and others who had worked with Bai Fu before decided after much deliberation to trust her this time.
The rest formed a new team and rushed toward the Bagaros Refuge.
Only after they were out of sight did Bai Fu stand up.
“Where are you going?”
“To wait for the Truth Society to jump out and give us a chance to capture them.”
Bai Fu called for Anya-jie and Excavation‑Princess, then headed toward the red X marked on the Map.
Xu Hong and the others hesitated for a moment before hurrying to follow.
Since they had chosen to believe Bai Fu, they had no choice but to stick with it to the end.
Not long after, they arrived at a new ambush point—a small camp typical of those found all around the area.
“Would the Truth Society really hide their base in a place like this?”
“Won’t we know soon enough?”
Bai Fu sat down with a smile.
Seeing her so relaxed, the others had no choice but to settle in and wait.
But inside, they were far from calm.
Except for Xia Shi, the others were deeply conflicted, teetering between regret and trust in Bai Fu, unwilling to be the first to back out.
This tense state lasted for quite a while until, suddenly, an explosion sounded in the distance.
Xu Hong shot to his feet—the explosion came from the direction of the Bagaros Refuge.
He looked at Bai Fu, then at Xia Shi and the others, unsure if he should go check it out.
Just then, Excavation‑Princess, who had been a silent accessory until now, suddenly shouted.
“Fu‑fu, they’re out!”
Out? What was out?
Xu Hong instinctively looked in the direction Excavation‑Princess pointed. Then he saw over a dozen people rushing out from the camp.
“We’ve confirmed it. The real entrance to the Bagaros Base is in the backyard of a small tavern south of the camp.” Excavation‑Princess pulled out the Map and marked a new red X at a specific location.
Bai Fu nodded excitedly. “Well done. This time we will definitely wipe out everyone in this base in one sweep!”
Excavation‑Princess asked, “Fu‑fu, are we rushing in now?”
“No rush. Let’s catch someone first and ask about the situation inside.” Bai Fu waved her hand.
Excavation‑Princess quickly said, “Okay, I’ll notify them right away.”
She stood still.
A minute later, several people suddenly sprang out of the open field. Without a word, they pinned down someone who had just come out of the camp.
Then, while nodding, she said, “There are currently more than two hundred people in the base. More than half are Logistics Department personnel, but even those logistics people are not ordinary. Besides them, there are two managers in the base. One of them, Lieutenant Qian, is a Special Agent.”
“No one else?”
“No.”
Bai Fu had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
She crumpled the Map in her hand, her eyes burning with battle intent.
This was the “Bai Fu Promotional Video” she had prepared for all Players. Previously, she had already shown off her looks, her concern for the Players, and her mysterious background—today, what she wanted to showcase was her combat power.
She hoped the Players’ praise would urge the Developer to buff her strength. But if she didn’t display her abilities in front of them, even if the Players wanted to hype her in that aspect, they wouldn’t have the imagination to do so.
“Let’s go!”
Bai Fu walked toward the camp across from them.
By now, even if Xu Hong and the others were slow, they understood what was going on.
Bai Fu had found the real entrance to the Bagaros Base!
They were all shocked—could it be that Bai Fu had planted a spy inside the Truth Society?
Seeing Bai Fu, Anya-jie, and Excavation‑Princess walking farther away, they quickly followed.
Ten minutes later.
At the tavern marked on the Map, over a hundred Players lying in ambush nearby, under Bai Fu’s arrangement, swarmed out.
Before anyone in the tavern could react, they had already taken control.
“Nice, not a single one escaped!”
“Hehe, this Old Deng just tried to secretly contact the base. I caught him red-handed.”
“Fu‑fu, lead us in one charge!”
The most excited were the Players who had arrived in the second batch with Lynn.
It was their first time joining Bai Fu on a mission, and what a grand mission it was. Their joy was beyond words.
Bai Fu didn’t delay and immediately issued the command for a full assault.
“Move out!”
Upon receiving the order, Black Tiger Afu was the first to open the tavern’s backyard entrance and jump in.
The other Players followed one after another, with Excavation‑Princess being the calmest.
She knew her combat power was weak. She was here to livestream up close.
【This is reporter Excavation‑Princess reporting. We are now standing right above the Truth Society’s Bagaros Base. Not long ago, Iron Rain Guild president Sword Qi Soaring went deep into the base as bait and sent back its coordinates. Now, under Fu‑fu’s lead, we’re about to launch a full assault!】
Excavation‑Princess said enthusiastically to the viewers in the Live‑stream Room.
【Alright, now let’s turn the camera to Fu‑fu!】
She turned around and saw Xu Hong questioning Bai Fu.
“Who exactly are you?”
Xu Hong’s eyes were wide open, fixed on Bai Fu.
“I used to suspect you were a Special Agent from the Old Republic or the Railway Guild, but now I think that’s absolutely impossible. If those two factions had an intelligence network like yours, they would’ve sent troops long ago. They wouldn’t have left this opportunity to strike the Truth Society to us.”
Bai Fu smiled. “I indeed have nothing to do with the Old Republic or the Railway Guild. To be precise, I have nothing to do with any faction you know of. I am who I am—I am Bai Fu. Regardless of the past or the future, at least right now, my goal is the same as yours.”
And that is—
Screw the Truth Society!
To hear the “Dao” at dawn and die by dusk—I want to see where you Truth Society run to now!
As Xu Hong and Xia Shi stared blankly, Bai Fu jumped into the entrance.
【Haha, they have no idea how powerful Fu‑fu really is. Now everyone, follow my first-person view to admire Fu‑fu’s heroics!】
Only after Excavation‑Princess cheerfully followed into the tunnel did Xu Hong quickly pull out his Personal Terminal and contacted Lu Yuelin.
“Director Lu.”
Lu Yuelin’s anxious voice came through. “Xu Hong, what’s the situation over there? That Truth Society scum really laid a trap. Zhao Yan’s group got ambushed and we’ve lost contact. The Military is rushing over, but they were ambushed too on the way!”
Xu Hong’s heart skipped a beat.
Zhao Yan was one of the group who had insisted on leaving earlier. Now that they couldn’t be contacted, chances were grim. If he hadn’t trusted Bai Fu earlier, would he have died at the Refuge too?
“Director Lu, here’s what happened…” He quickly reported the situation to Lu Yuelin.
Lu Yuelin’s expression changed. “What? She charged in herself? Stop her now!”
Xu Hong twitched his mouth. He’d like to stop her, but he wasn’t strong enough to beat Bai Fu.
On the other end, upon hearing Xu Hong’s words, Military Representative Bask’s eyes lit up. Then he deliberately let out a cold snort.
“I thought she was a prodigy. Turns out she’s just a reckless fool. Her death isn’t the problem—if she alerts the Truth Society and those bastards escape early, then her death would truly be meaningless! Relay my order: break through the Truth Society’s blockade as quickly as possible and turn toward the real entrance!”
Lu Yuelin wanted to say something more, but both the Intelligence Bureau and the Military had been ambushed. There was nothing more to be done—he could only pray Bai Fu would survive.
Old Dengs like him were expendable. The young were the hope of this world. If all the promising youths died, what hope was left for a world already on the brink?
...
“Lieutenant Qian, news from the front—the Gene Primordials have taken the bait!”
Inside the Bagaros Base, a Communications soldier excitedly reported to Lieutenant Qian.
Lieutenant Qian nodded calmly.
This wasn’t anything to get excited over. Their goal was to draw the Gene Primordials’ attention for as long as possible. It was only the first day. There was still plenty of time to grind them down.
“Activate the second plan. Send those Gene Primordial rats another surprise. Also notify Guido and Yulia. It’s their turn to act now.”
Lieutenant Qian walked over to the tea dispenser, just about to pour tea, when a loud boom sounded from outside.
“What’s going on?”
He immediately rushed out of the room.
A Logistics Department staffer ran over in a panic. “Lieutenant Qian, bad news—the Gene Primordials broke in through the back door!”
“What?”
Lieutenant Qian’s expression changed drastically.
Weren’t the Gene Primordials surrounded by their ambush troops? How did they suddenly show up at the back door?
He grabbed a gun from the wall and walked out. He didn’t get far before he saw the main person in charge of the base, Carlos, also walking out from another corridor with a grim face.
The two of them hurried to the parking lot near the back door of the base, and at a glance, they saw a group of people in various outfits causing chaos in the lot.
“Hahaha, kill kill kill, tornado destroys the parking lot, crow flies the plane!”
"Dip the beans! This feels amazing! So damn good! This is the most fun I’ve ever had in a fight!"
“Damn, my Jill got shot!”
Lieutenant Qian was stunned.
He had dealt with the Gene Primordials for many years and could tell at a glance that these people definitely weren’t sent by the Gene Primordials.
“Where did these lunatics come from, daring to cause trouble here?!”
He stormed angrily toward the Players.
One Player noticed him and raised his pistol to shoot, but then something strange happened—the Player was shocked to find he couldn’t pull the trigger no matter what.
“This...”
Bang!
Lieutenant Qian raised his hand and shot the Player right between the eyebrows.
“Trash!”
He cursed impatiently.
As a Special Agent who could control objects remotely, he scoffed at the idea that a couple of pistols could pose any threat to him.
“Kill them all! Just leave two or three alive!”
While shouting, Lieutenant Qian raised his gun and fired, killing four or five Players in just a few seconds.
But this bloody scene didn’t scare the Players at all.
Instead, it made them even more excited.
The more you resist, the more we...
Wait, wrong script.
“Damn, what a strong Elite Mob!”
“Could this guy be the person in charge of the Bagaros Base? Killing him must give a ton of XP!”
Lieutenant Qian couldn’t understand what the Players were saying, but he knew one thing—they really wanted to kill him. He couldn’t help but laugh.
“Just with you bunch of trash?”
He once again locked onto the gun in a Player’s hand in the front left. Then, he raised his own gun, and his right index finger pressed down heavily.
But instead of gunfire, a clear and cold shout rang out.
“Anya!”
Lieutenant Qian saw her.
Standing to the left of the Player he had targeted was a silver-haired girl, and to her left was a slightly shorter and bulkier Power Armor compared to her.
Fire!
Lieutenant Qian realized something was wrong, but this time, no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t move.
This was the same restraint he normally inflicted on others, now turned against him.
As he saw the Power Armor’s right-hand heavy machine gun begin to blaze and bullets slammed into his body, he finally regained his ability to move—only to twitch violently under the impact of the bullets.
“Ah——”
The scream echoed through the parking lot.
Bai Fu raised the shotgun in her hand and fired.
Boom!
Lieutenant Qian fell to the ground like a piece of rag. His chest, abdomen, and face were riddled with pellets, his flesh torn open—he was dead beyond dead.
【You killed the Bagaros Base Lieutenant. Contribution: 36.2%. After level adjustment, you gained 4525 XP.】
【You killed a Truth Society member. Bonus: 1000 XP.】
Carlos, the base commander standing at the parking lot entrance, narrowed his pupils.
A chill shot from his soles up to his crown.
In contrast, the Players were all dumbfounded—seeing Bai Fu kill Lieutenant Qian, who had easily slain several Players, in just three seconds.
“That’s insane!”
“Did Fu‑fu turn on an insta-kill cheat?”
The Players watching this through Excavation‑Princess’s Live‑stream Room were even more hyped.
【Damn, Bai Fu just recovered a bit and she’s already this strong. If she fully recovers, she could probably solo the Truth Society!】
【Solo the Truth Society? You underestimate Fu‑fu’s profile. I think her original strength could destroy stars!】
【Crap, what are you all staring for? That guy at the door is running! Go after him!】
With the frantic calls, the Players on site finally noticed—Carlos was fleeing. He ran fast, and while running, shouted at the people in the corridor to quickly lower the heavy iron door to block the rampaging Players and Bai Fu.
When Xu Hong, Xia Shi, and the others jumped down from the tunnel entrance, what they saw was the descending iron door, Anya-jie’s machine gun spewing rounds, and Players’ frustrated faces.
“Damn it, be human! The instance boss actually ran away during the raid. What the hell!”
“We’re screwed. That iron door looks at least 1 ton heavy. There’s no way our weapons can bust through it.”
As the door lowered and gradually obscured Bai Fu’s figure, Carlos behind it let out a long sigh of relief.
How could he not run? He was more administrative, and while not weak, he was far inferior to Lieutenant Qian. And Lieutenant Qian got insta-killed by that silver-haired girl—what could he possibly do?
“What happened?”
A shout came from behind.
Carlos turned around and saw Guido walking over. He quickly explained, “A bunch of lunatics just showed up outside, those...”
He stopped mid-sentence, realizing Guido’s expression had turned very strange. And then, a chill ran up his spine from behind.
Carlos whipped around.
In that moment, he was horrified to see the iron door—which should have fully lowered—rising again.
First to appear were a pair of feet, then the dark barrel of a gun.
He recognized her.
It was the silver-haired girl who had just insta-killed Lieutenant Qian!
