"Lord Gedo, I don't know what happened. My hand suddenly pressed the button uncontrollably at that time. By the time I reacted, it was too late. I really didn't do it on purpose, Ji…"
Slap.
Gedo slapped the person in front of him, sending him flying.
His face was incredibly grim. Thanks to Yulia for seeing through Lily's trick, otherwise if he had really run away, the President would surely hold him accountable afterwards, and he would be in big trouble.
"Stop, all of you stop! I'll kill anyone who dares to run around!"
Gedo roared furiously.
Under his command, the chaotic Bagaros Base finally restored a certain degree of order.
"We're in the base, we have plenty of ammunition, we have traps, and we're familiar with the terrain. What is there to be afraid of? You go take care of those rampaging scumbags, I'll deal with Lily!"
Yulia said: "I will provide you with protection, and those from Gene Primordial will also be handled by me."
Gedo nodded. With Yulia's words, he felt relieved.
He turned and rushed to the monitoring room to confirm Lily's current location. What he saw startled him: almost every screen with people on it was repeating the same thing—the people he had just called scumbags were slaughtering their side!
Although those scumbags were disorganized and undisciplined, their bravery was rarely seen in the world.
Don't talk to me about CQB, CQC, tactical maneuvers, team cooperation… In our players' eyes, it's all just hocus pocus. As long as we shout "FBI open the door," "Banzai," "Kill them," "Truth is dead, Lily stands," fill our courage meter, then kick every door, shoot anyone we encounter, and tough it out through traps, if we can't kill you scaredy-cat NPCs, then we players lose!
Indeed, few people could withstand the players' mad-dog style of fighting.
When the players first rushed in, they only had one or two small handguns, which were relatively easy to deal with. But once they picked up the weapons dropped by the Truth Society from the ground, their terrifying level increased once again.
"Die, all of you die with me!"
A player grabbed a flying grenade, roared, and lunged towards the cover in front. With a loud bang, he and Four Directions Truth Society members flew into the air together.
The next second, the other players didn't mourn his death for even a moment. They excitedly picked up the equipment he dropped upon his death and continued to advance.
"Haha, I've been craving that assault rifle he just picked up."
"You scumbag, that was clearly the gun I had my eyes on."
"Don't you understand what 'first come, first served' means?"
Gedo's forehead veins bulged as he watched.
He noticed that the morale of the people he had called back was starting to collapse again. Fortunately, the President had sent Yulia this time, otherwise this decline would have turned into a rout.
Gedo quickly located Lily, who was sweeping through rooms one by one. Then, he locked the monitoring room door and swiftly charged towards Lily's location.
Lily, just you wait for me!
At this moment, on the other side, the Four Directions agents following behind Lily were already a bit numb.
They wanted to do something, but after seeing Lily's and the players' fighting styles, they realized they couldn't do anything.
Charge forward recklessly like the players?
They didn't have the guts.
Provide cover for the players from behind?
Many times, they had just set up their guns when the players had already reached the next objective.
Help Lily?
Lily was even more ruthless. She was like a God of War. Players at least had to dodge a bit, but Lily didn't dodge at all. Her combat routine was to kick open doors to attract fire, then let Anya spray from behind.
What was going on that they, as elite agents, suddenly became a hindrance in an assault battle?
Shock and deep frustration intertwined, and Si suddenly felt that he might be getting old.
+1000, +1000, +1000…
Lily continuously reaped lives, and the experience gain notifications almost never stopped.
This situation continued until the group of players charging at the very front suddenly stopped.
"Stop, stop, stop! Quickly stop!"
"Stop what?"
The players behind, unable to brake in time, crashed into the group of players at the very front, sending them sprawling.
When they looked up, they were surprised to find an old acquaintance standing before them.
Ice-blue hair, ice-blue eyebrows, long legs, peaks gathered like mountains, waves raging like a storm...
Isn't this the big BOSS who wreaked havoc in the Abandoned Cooling Plant and controlled Lily for a while?
In fact, apart from Patrick Star, Convert to My Lily, and a few other players, most of the players here had not seen Yulia with their own eyes. However, due to Lily's extremely high popularity, related videos were everywhere in the community, so they recognized Yulia, who had caused Lily great trouble, at a glance.
Upon recognizing Yulia, they immediately thought of Yulia's abilities.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
It was too late to retreat.
A flash of light appeared in Yulia's eyes, and the several players standing in front of her immediately gained a [Royal Envoy] status. Then, they uncontrollably turned around and attacked other players.
"It's over, it's over, it's completely over now!"
As more and more players discovered Yulia, panic began to spread.
They were well aware of how broken Yulia's ability to strong-control players was. If things continued to develop like this, the situation would quickly escalate into Lily and the Four Directions agents fighting two hundred people.
Although Lily's identity was special and not comparable to ordinary people, it was probably impossible to defeat so many people.
Would this combat mission end in failure?
Thinking about the worst-case scenario, Lily might even die here.
"Those behind us, don't worry about us, quickly cover Lily's retreat!"
"The wind is tight, let's go!"
Convert to My Lily was the first to run back, preparing to warn Lily, but when he got closer, he found that Lily had already been stopped by Gedo.
Gedo held a gleaming long blade, and his eyes glowed red, as if flames were burning within them.
As soon as he appeared, he swung a strike without any hesitation. Lily dodged in time and was not hit, but the wall behind where she had just stood took the full force of the strike. The surging high temperature directly scorched the cut section of the wall black.
"You dodged quickly!"
Killing intent surged in Gedo's eyes.
Lily's expression darkened slightly. She sensed danger from Gedo and decisively cast a Psionic Vision. The data feedback returned.
