When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

Half an hour later.

A dozen miles away from the Bagalos Sanctuary, in a dense forest, Xu Hong spread out the Map on the ground and started the pre-battle meeting.

"Our goal this time isn't to kill, but to figure out the entrance to the Bagaros Base. Once we find the entrance, you can deal with the scum of the Truth Society however you want. But until we find the entrance, unless your cover is blown and you're cornered, absolutely no initiating combat, got it?"

Suddenly, Bai Fu spoke out, "If you're willing to trust me, it would be best not to go to the Bagalos Sanctuary today."

"What's going on?" Xu Hong asked, perplexed.

The others were also confused, "Without going to the Bagalos Sanctuary, how can we complete the Task?"

Bai Fu said, "I can tell you with certainty that the Bagalos Sanctuary is just a front. The real entrance to the Bagaros Base isn't there. If you go, at best, you'll find a fake entrance; at worst, you're walking into your graves."

"Where did you get this information?"

"Don't underestimate my spy network." Bai Fu was confident.

Xu Hong's brows were deeply furrowed. He instinctively didn't believe her, but then he remembered that Bai Fu had known Li Cheng was a spy long before Li Cheng himself was exposed, which made him waver again.

What Bai Fu said was not impossible.

Before the operation, the Genetic Primordial side suspected that the Bagaros Base might be a decoy. If not for that, the military wouldn't insist on sending the Intelligence Bureau first; they want the Intelligence Bureau to test the waters.

But what if Bai Fu's information is wrong?

Xu Hong pressed, "What's your plan?"

Bai Fu replied, "Wait. As long as we can keep our composure, the Truth Society will become more anxious than us."

Before Xu Hong could respond, another Special Agent from their group jumped out.

"Bai Fu, I recognize your power, but when it comes to intelligence, we are the professionals. Unless you can provide proof, it's difficult for me to believe your words. We don't have time to delay. Every minute we waste, Section Three could potentially find the entrance to the Bagaros Base before us."

His words were echoed by several people.

Because of the incident with Li Cheng, the people from their section were eager to make a strong showing, to turn the tide and redeem themselves.

Bai Fu looked around, smiled, and said, "I'm just offering you a suggestion. Whether or not you listen is up to you."

In fact, she would prefer more people to draw the attention of the Truth Society. That way, she could better infiltrate the Bagaros Base later. With over a hundred Players leading the charge, she wouldn't have to rely on the Genetic Primordial.

But considering she had taken many good things from their section, she felt somewhat indebted, which is why she bothered to warn them.

The group ended up being divided.

After much consideration, Xu Hong and a few others who had interacted with Bai Fu decided to trust her. The rest quickly formed a new team and dashed toward the Bagalos Sanctuary.

Only after they were well out of sight did Bai Fu stand up.

"Where are you going?"

"To wait for the people from the Truth Society to come out so we can catch them."

Bai Fu called out to An Ya and Digging Girl, and they headed towards the red cross marked on the Map.

After a moment of indecision, Xu Hong and the others hurried to follow. Having chosen to trust Bai Fu, they had to follow through with a stiff upper lip.

Before long, they arrived at a new ambush point – a small campsite that was common in the area.

"Could the base of the Truth Society really be hidden in a place like this?"

"Why don't we wait and see?"

Bai Fu sat down with a smile. Seeing her so relaxed, the others had no choice but to calm down and wait.

Internally, they were nowhere near as composed as they appeared. Except for Xia Shi, everyone was severely wavering; they were tempted to leave but didn't want to be the first to stand up and walk away, constantly jumping between regret and trusting Bai Fu.

This continued for a while until there was suddenly an explosion from a distance.

Xu Hong abruptly stood up, the explosion coming from the direction of the Bagalos Sanctuary.

He looked at Bai Fu and then at Xia Shi and the others, uncertain about whether to go and check out the situation. Just then, Digging Girl, who had been on the sidelines like an accessory, suddenly shouted.

"Fufu, they're coming out!"

What's coming out?

Xu Hong instinctively looked in the direction Digging Girl was pointing, and then he saw about a dozen people rushing out of the campsite.

"The real entrance to the Bagaros Base has been confirmed. It's in the backyard of a small tavern to the south of the campsite." Digging Girl pulled out the Map and marked a new red cross at a certain location.

Bai Fu excitedly nodded, "Well done, this time we can definitely catch everyone in this base!"

Digging Girl asked, "Fufu, shall we rush in now?"

"No rush, let's capture someone first and ask about the situation inside," Bai Fu gestured with her hand.

"Okay, I'll notify them right away," Digging Girl said.

She stood still, and after a minute, several figures suddenly appeared from the wilderness, quickly overpowering a person who had just come out of the campsite.

Then, while nodding, she reported, "There are over two hundred people inside the base now, most of them logistics staff. But even these logistics staff have exceptional strength. Besides them, there are two Managers in the base, one of them being Deputy Officer Qian, a Superpower User."

"Is there nothing else?"

"Nothing."

Bai Fu had been waiting for this moment. She crumpled the Map in her hand, her eyes burning with a fighting spirit.

This was the "Bai Fu propaganda piece" she prepared for all the Players. Before this, she had already shown them her appearance, her care for the Players, her mysterious background, and other highlights. Today, she was going to showcase her combat readiness.
