Bask's one sentence, Lily's one sentence, Lu Ling felt like he was about to explode.
Damn it, since I can't tell who is truly problematic, then I'll just give up, alright?
Lu Ling gritted his teeth and said yes to both of them, but after ending the conversation, he immediately contacted the Intelligence Bureau, asking them to take charge of the situation.
He chose to give up, but the players wouldn't.
Between Bask and Lily, the players unconditionally trusted Lily. Lily was not only beautiful but also helped them level up. Who was Bask?
Convert to My Lily was the first to step forward: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, I need to confirm it."
With him leading, the other players also took action, some wanting to rush out of the base, others hoping Lu Ling would blast open the corridor.
The corridor was currently piled with too many concrete blocks; Ordinary grenades couldn't blow them open, so Lu Ling would have to use more powerful explosives.
Lu Ling fired a shot at the ceiling.
"Everyone quiet down! Before the two section chiefs from the Intelligence Bureau arrive, everyone stay here obediently. No one is allowed to move, otherwise, don't blame the gun in my hand for being impolite!"
These words directly infuriated the players.
"Are you going to blow up the corridor or not?"
Lu Ling just pretended not to hear.
Convert to My Lily was furious: "Damn it, if Lily gets into any trouble, I'll kill you even if you run to the ends of the earth."
Lu Ling raised his gun and aimed at Convert to My Lily: "Try saying that again?"
"Say it then, count me in too! If the boss gets into trouble, I'll fight you all to the death!" Anya, in her power armor, was so angry she was stomping her feet.
Patrick Star, seeing the situation was bad, quickly stepped forward to block Anya.
Anya was an important plot NPC; although far from Lily, she couldn't be allowed to die easily here.
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, Shino stepped forward.
"Everyone stop!"
Although Lily's origins were mysterious, she still believed that Lily was not a Truth Society spy.
This was not only because Lily had saved her, but also because Lily was extremely ruthless when facing the Truth Society, killing without hesitation, which was not how a spy should act.
After taking a deep breath, Shino finally made up her mind; she absolutely could not stand by and watch Lily die here for no reason.
"Blow up the wall and let Lily out! My father is Xia Shude of the Technology Bureau. If anything really happens, I'll take full responsibility!"
This was the first time she had used her father's identity to pressure someone else.
The name Xia Shude was quite influential in the Gene Primordial. Lu Ling's expression changed repeatedly, but in the end, he held his ground.
"Director Lu will arrive soon. Whether or not to blast the wall, I will only listen to him."
"You..."
Shino was helpless; she could only quickly contact Director Madeleine, but the message sent from her terminal vanished without a trace, receiving no reply.
Bask was not to be trifled with either; after his command to Lu Ling proved fruitless, he immediately contacted his confidant, instructing them to shield the signals around Bagaros Base to buy him time.
"Lily, you can't escape!"
The furious roar echoed through the corridor.
Lily was unconcerned; through the players' live streams, she knew that Excavation Princess and the others had already spread the word about what was happening here, and the players who had respawned at the resurrection point were rapidly approaching.
It was only about ten miles; for these players with an average level of 10, ten minutes at most would be enough.
Lily moved swiftly through the corridor, and before long, someone discovered her whereabouts.
"Found her!"
A group of people chased after her, firing their guns, but her speed was simply too fast, and because she had a map, she didn't have to worry about running into a dead end, so she ran almost without stopping, and the soldiers desperately chasing behind her gradually dispersed into several groups.
"Where is she?"
"I think I saw her enter that room."
Intense footsteps echoed down the corridor as the group arrived at a room and kicked the door open.
The moment they rushed in, a figure like a tank burst out from the side, and the person running at the very front, unable to dodge, was directly slammed into the wall.
The sharp pain from the back of his head blurred his consciousness; he had just let out a scream when he found his neck being squeezed, and the next second, a cold gun barrel was pressed against his stomach.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three shots took his life.
Lily used the corpse as a shield and continued to charge forward.
The startled Gene Primordial soldiers quickly pulled their triggers, firing dozens of bullets that riddled the corpse, which Lily had been choking, into a bloody mess.
"Here, take them back."
Lily threw the corpse forward and turned to run towards another door in the room.
"Don't let her escape!"
A Gene Primordial soldier, unable to dodge in time, was hit hard by a corpse. He angrily pushed the corpse away, and as he lowered his head, he suddenly saw something incredible.
"Holy crap, it's a grenade! Quick—"
Boom!
The shockwave tore apart the closest few people.
Lily was knocked to the ground by the shockwave. After a moment, she climbed up, dusted herself off, and continued running.
She had only lost a dozen health points, which was nothing to worry about.
During her charge, she had conveniently snatched a grenade from the person she had killed. It had to be said that in such a confined space, grenades were truly harvesting tools; one round of explosions had brought her over 2000 experience points.
Bask, who had received the news, was about to explode with rage.
"What, five more died?"
"What, it didn't hit Lily but hit themselves instead?"
He finally understood now why Lily could collapse the Bagaros Base, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters. Sending Lily on her way was the priority.
Fortunately, although Lily was agile, the Bagaros Base was only so big. After repeated pulling and pushing, her usable area became smaller and smaller.
