Perhaps she should consider leaving the Abandoned Cooling Plant.
With her current strength and financial resources, leaving the Abandoned Cooling Plant would not be difficult at all. After going to a large settlement, she could not only receive higher-level quests but also find professional advancement knowledge books. The only problem was that players wouldn't be able to go there anytime soon.
Lily pondered for a moment. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a familiar face.
In the alley across the street, Nine was staring intently at the woman named Xia Shi. After more than ten seconds, he turned and left.
Although she didn't know what Nine was doing, from his gaze just now, Lily felt that he had ill intentions.
"It's better to send him to reunite with Seven sooner."
Lily turned back and informed the players of Nine's whereabouts.
The players, who were already sharpening their blades, immediately grabbed their weapons and chased after receiving the news without a word.
With their previous experience dealing with Seven, the players were full of fighting spirit, determined to use their newly conceived tactics to get a big bite in this battle.
This time, they had nothing to worry about. Lily had already said that Wildfire Gang Leader wanted to use their hands to get rid of Nine, so Wildfire Gang would definitely not interfere. They only needed to deal with Nine alone. The hidden quest triggered after Lily finished speaking seemed to confirm this.
In fact, even if Wildfire Gang Leader had plotted against them behind their backs, they weren't afraid.
As long as they killed Number Nine, they could earn a large amount of experience to level up. Once their level was high enough, hehe, you think you can scheme, but do you understand what it means to break all methods with a single force!
Lily followed closely behind the players.
They advanced all the way, stealthily approaching the Wildfire Gang.
Just as the players were debating whether to charge in directly or ambush from outside, Number Nine had already returned to the underground laboratory.
"I saw Gene Primordial's people outside, they're from Four Directions.
Those Outsiders must be connected to them, and Number Seven's disappearance must also be related to them.
Our movements have been discovered by them."
A cold glint flickered in Number Nine's eyes.
"Today, not only did they kill Number Seven, but they also showed themselves, it seems they don't plan to keep hiding.
I estimate they will launch a full assault on the Wildfire Gang very soon."
Yulia's face was ashen: "It will take me at least two more days to complete the basic verification here."
"Two days?" Number Nine's breath hitched, "That's too long, but the experiment absolutely cannot stop.
Since there isn't enough time, I will buy it!"
Yulia asked: "What are you going to do?"
Number Nine took out a translucent green cylinder from a box on the ground: "Use this."
"Induction Bait? Do you know what consequences using this will cause?" Yulia's expression changed drastically.
Number Nine smiled: "Mutants will surge over like sharks smelling blood.
During this process, they will attack all living things they see along the way, until these living things die or turn into their kind."
"You know all that and you still want to use it?"
"If I use it, those people outside will be busy dealing with Mutants and won't have time to disturb your experiment.
Don't worry, even if Four Directions's people ask Linn for help in time, it will take more than two days for reinforcements to arrive, which is enough time for you to complete the verification."
Number Nine picked up the Induction Bait and walked straight towards the door.
He had no psychological burden whatsoever, because he had already planned to use the Induction Bait to destroy the entire Abandoned Cooling Plant after the experiment to erase traces of their existence; now it was just a little earlier.
"You're crazy!" Yulia shouted.
Number Nine stopped: "Crazy? Yulia, you must know, we are the Truth Society!
Don't think about making small moves, think about yourself, think about the people in your hometown, think about the Chairman's kindness to you.
What you need to do is to use these abandoned cooling facilities to complete the verification as quickly as possible, otherwise once the Chairman gets angry, you… hehe…"
Cruel laughter echoed in the laboratory until the laboratory door closed, and everything returned to peace.
Yulia silently went to the cooling chamber and continued the previous verification; now was not the time to think about other things.
…
After leaving the laboratory, Number Nine headed straight for the outskirts of the Abandoned Cooling Plant with the Induction Bait.
His main goal was not to kill everyone in the Abandoned Cooling Plant, but to kill the two agents from Four Directions and all the Outsiders, to buy time for Yulia's verification.
Therefore, he planned to secretly pour the Induction Bait near where the Outsiders were hiding.
