The moment the bullet hit her forehead, Lily felt like she had been flicked on the head.
Did it hurt?
It hurt.
Was the damage significant?
She lost a grand total of 0 health points.
However, this was just the beginning; although the soldiers who came in with Bask were a bit confused, they had, after all, been led by Bask, so seeing Bask himself open fire, they didn't care if Lily was a comrade or not, and immediately drew their guns and unleashed a barrage of furious shooting.
Lily reacted extremely quickly, flying into the nearby corridor the instant she was shot.
Bullets, as dense as a rain curtain, chased her footsteps, leaving a series of bullet marks on the ground and walls.
"Hiding is useless, Lily, the entire base is surrounded, unless you can teleport, you won't be able to escape today!"
Bask was startled that one shot failed to kill Lily, but he quickly calmed down.
It was not surprising for a Spiritual Energy Prayer Master to have means to block bullets; although the sneak attack failed, the situation was still under his control.
Most of the Truth Society members and those Lily brought were casualties, almost completely wiped out, and the Intelligence Bureau Four Directions members who had a good relationship with Lily were currently clearing out Truth Society remnants in Bajalos Shelter, which meant no one could come to save Lily now.
He only needed to kill Lily before the Intelligence Bureau Four Directions arrived; at that point, whether he blamed Lily's death on the Truth Society, or accused Lily of colluding with the Truth Society, everyone else would just have to accept it.
Bask was very excited.
Before his departure, he had been secretly instructed by his superiors to eliminate Lily; he had been worrying about how to find an opportunity, but he didn't expect Lily to deliver herself to him.
This was a tremendous achievement; as long as he could complete this mission, he would truly enter the core of the Gene Primordial!
He led the soldiers in a carpet search, step by step compressing Lily's hiding space.
"Have you experienced the pain of having your fingernails peeled off one by one, and your eyelids cut off?"
"Lily, if you come out now, I can make you suffer less."
Listening to Bask's lines, which sounded like a horror movie killer, Lily curled her lip.
She had known for a long time that this guy had ill intentions; after all, the two had never met before, yet Bask's favorability towards her was -31. Who would believe there wasn't a problem with that?
For this reason, she specifically sent a few players to keep an eye on Bask, but unfortunately, Bask hid too deeply, not making any superfluous moves until he showed his fangs.
"Bask's strength is even worse than Gedo's, not to mention compared to Yulia. Although I lost a lot of stamina in the battle with Yulia, I have Combat Etiquette, a divine skill that can catch people off guard, so defeating Bask is not difficult."
The only problem was that Bask brought too many people.
With Lily's current physique, she had no need to fear Ordinary bullets, but the elite soldiers Bask brought all carried special weapons like grenades and strong acid bombs.
When she used Combat Etiquette to control Bask, if these elite soldiers threw grenades and strong acid bombs at her all at once, even if she still had a Psionic Shield card, she might not be able to withstand it.
But it was not a big problem.
Bagaros Base was full of twists and turns; even internal personnel could easily get lost if they weren't careful, let alone Bask and his men. But she was different; she had a game map. Unless Bask directly blew up the entire base, she had plenty of time to play guerrilla warfare with Bask.
The Gene Primordial brought some heavy weapons for this operation, but it would not be a quick task to destroy Bagaros Base with those heavy weapons.
"The advantage is with me!"
To make herself more secure, Lily decided to add another layer of insurance.
Bask had many people, but she wasn't alone either.
Those more than a hundred players were not just for show; as long as she spread the word, those players would quickly come over, and as for spreading the word, it was simple for her.
After making up her mind, Lily immediately ran to the place where she had just engaged in close combat with Yulia.
She shouted through the wall: "Something has happened, Bask is colluding with the Truth Society, and he is now frantically trying to kill all those who know. I will try my best to hold him off, you all hurry and escape, tell the people outside this news, lest everyone be harmed by him later."
Lily knew that Bask would definitely spread rumors to discredit her, so she spread a rumor first before Bask did.
This one sentence directly confused everyone standing next door.
They were very happy that Lily had not died in the battle with Yulia, but what was this about Bask colluding with the Truth Society?
"No... it can't be that bad, can it?"
Si's mouth was slightly open, and he looked around blankly.
The Gene Primordial soldiers who had just broken through the tightly closed door and rushed in were also completely baffled.
They strongly suspected that the person standing on the other side was not Lily at all, but a Truth Society thug disguised as Lily, whose purpose was to cause them to fall into internal strife.
"I'll contact Commander Bask immediately to ask about the situation."
A captain named Lu Ling frantically pulled out his walkie-talkie; before he could even initiate contact, Bask had already called him.
"Urgent notice, Lily is a spy sent by the Truth Society. All units immediately seal off Bagaros Base. Not even a mosquito is allowed to get out. Lu Ling, you immediately lead your team to attack from the back door and cooperate with me to encircle Lily!"
Huh?
Lu Ling was full of questions.
What kind of development was this? How did Lily become a Truth Society spy again?
Just now, he suspected that Lily on the other side of the wall was fake; now he began to suspect that Bask on the other end of the walkie-talkie was also fake.
Just as he didn't know whether to carry out the order, he suddenly heard Lily shout again: "He's slandering me! How could I be a Truth Society spy? I not only captured Inoue but also destroyed Bagaros Base. What kind of spy targets their own people like this? Bask is the real spy! He sent you into the Truth Society's ambush, but because of my actions, the Truth Society's ambushers had to return to reinforce, causing their plan to annihilate you all to fail. That's why he hates me so much now!"
Bask was stunned for a moment; he never expected to hear Lily's words through the walkie-talkie, nor did he expect Lily to throw such accusations at him.
His heart sank slightly.
"Lily, do you know what you're saying?"
Lily sneered: "See? He's getting anxious, he's even starting to threaten me! Bask, do you think I was scared into growing up? Your good days are over. Even if you kill everyone here today, your secret won't be kept, I promise you!"
Bask's blood rushed up, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Spreading rumors to my face, Lily, you're a spy with extraordinary guts! Lu Ling, I command you as your commander to act immediately, otherwise, you will face military discipline!"
Lu Ling: "This..."
Lily laughed even louder: "Military discipline? Bask, you traitor are the one who should be court-martialed! You say I'm a Truth Society spy, then show me the evidence! I captured Inoue and destroyed Bagaros Base. What have you done? Don't worry, once I get out of here, I'll expose your collusion with the Truth Society to the public!"
Bask squeezed the walkie-talkie, making a creaking sound.
Since the matter had been exposed, he had nothing more to argue about with Lily; the only thing he needed to do was to kill Lily quickly.
Once Lily was dead, even if the Intelligence Bureau had strong opinions of him, his superiors would protect him.
"Lu Ling!"
"Lu Ling!"
