Half an hour later.
In a dense forest a dozen miles from Bajalos Shelter, Si spread out the map on the ground and began a pre-battle meeting.
"Our objective this time is not to kill people, but to figure out the entrance to Bagaros Base. Once we find the entrance, you can deal with those scumbags from the Truth Society however you want. But before finding the entrance, unless your identity is exposed and you're in a desperate situation, you absolutely cannot make a move, understand?"
Lily suddenly said, "If you're willing to trust me, it's best not to go to Bajalos Shelter today."
"What's going on?" Si looked puzzled.
The others also expressed confusion: "If we don't go to Bajalos Shelter, how can we complete the mission?"
Lily said, "I can tell you responsibly that Bajalos Shelter is just a front. The true entrance to Bagaros Base is not there. If you go, with good luck you'll find a false entrance. With bad luck, you'll be going to your death."
"How do you know all this?"
"Don't underestimate my intelligence network." Lily was very confident.
Si frowned tightly. He instinctively didn't believe her, but thinking about how Lily had known Inoue was a spy even before Inoue exposed himself, he wavered again.
What Lily said was not impossible.
Before the operation, Gene Primordial had suspected that Bagaros Base might be a decoy. Otherwise, the military wouldn't have insisted on letting the Intelligence Bureau go first; they just wanted the Intelligence Bureau to test the waters.
But what if Lily's intelligence was wrong?
Si pressed, "What's your plan?"
Lily said, "Wait. As long as we can remain calm, the Truth Society will be more anxious than us."
Before Si could speak, another Four Directions agent jumped out.
"Lily, I acknowledge your strength, but when it comes to intelligence, we are the professionals. Unless you can provide evidence, it's hard for me to believe what you say. We don't have time to delay now. Every minute we delay, Three might find the entrance to Bagaros Base before us."
His words were met with agreement from several people.
Because of Inoue's matter, the people from Four Directions were now brimming with desire to perform well and achieve a beautiful comeback.
Lily surveyed her surroundings and smiled: "I'm just giving you a suggestion. Whether you want to listen is up to you."
In fact, she wished more people would go to attract the Truth Society's attention. This way, she could better infiltrate Bagaros Base later. With over 100 players leading the way, she wouldn't have to rely on Gene Primordial at all.
However, considering she had taken many good things from Four Directions, she owed them a favor to some extent, which was why she specifically reminded them.
Four Directions was still divided.
Si, Shino, and others who had interacted with Lily decided to trust Lily after careful consideration, while the others formed a new team and quickly rushed towards Bajalos Shelter.
Lily stood up only after they had gone far.
"Where are you going?"
"To wait for the Truth Society's people to jump out and let us catch them."
Lily called out to Anya and Excavation Princess and walked towards the red cross mark on the map.
Si and the others hesitated for a moment and then quickly followed. Since they chose to trust Lily, they could only grit their teeth and go all the way.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the new ambush point, a small camp that was common in the vicinity.
"Will the Truth Society's base really be hidden in a place like this?"
"We'll know in a moment, won't we?"
Lily smiled and sat down. Seeing her so relaxed, the others could only calm down and wait.
Their hearts were far from as calm as they appeared on the surface. Except for Shino, everyone else was greatly wavering. They wanted to leave, but didn't want to be the first to stand out, so they could only repeatedly oscillate between regret and trusting Lily.
This situation lasted for quite a while, until an explosion suddenly came from afar.
Si stood up abruptly. The explosion came from the direction of Bajalos Shelter.
He looked at Lily, then at Shino and the others, wondering whether to go and check the situation. Just then, Excavation Princess, who had been acting as a hanger-on beside them, suddenly shouted.
"Lily, they're out!"
They're out, what's out?
Si subconsciously looked in the direction Excavation Princess pointed, and then he saw over a dozen people rushing out of the camp.
"The true entrance to Bagaros Base has been confirmed. It's in the backyard of a small tavern south of the camp." Excavation Princess pulled out a map and drew a new red cross at a certain location.
Lily nodded excitedly: "Well done! This time, we can definitely capture everyone in this base in one fell swoop!"
Excavation Princess asked, "Lily, should we rush in now?"
"No rush, let's first catch someone and ask about the situation inside." Lily waved her hand.
Excavation Princess quickly said, "Okay, I'll inform them immediately."
She stood there motionless. After a minute, several people suddenly darted out from the wilderness. Without a word, those people pressed one of the people who had just come out of the camp to the ground.
Then, she nodded and said, "There are currently over two hundred people in the base, most of whom are logistics personnel, but the strength of those logistics personnel is also extraordinary. In addition, there are two Administrators in the base, and Qian Assistant Officer is an ability user."
"Is there nothing else?"
"No."
Lily had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She crumpled the map in her hand into a ball, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.
This was her "Lily promotional video" prepared for all players. Before this, she had already shown players her appearance, her care for players, her mysterious background, and many other shining points. Today, she wanted to show her combat power.
She hoped that the players' praise could prompt the planners to strengthen her power, but if she didn't show off her abilities more in front of the players, even if the players wanted to praise her in this regard, it would be difficult to unleash their imagination.
"Let's go!"
