Three days later, Lily parked her car at Shelter 7, which was close to the Goli Desert.
Shelter 7 was a place where good and bad were mixed.
After many years of development, this shelter, established after the World War, had now developed into a supply station for entering the Goli Desert, with many people from other places or leaving the Goli Desert stopping here every day.
Food, water, fuel, weapons, crafting materials, a night of pleasure, and even human lives could be bought here, as long as one had money.
Lily chose to stop here, not primarily for supplies, but mainly to inquire about the changes in the outside world's situation in the past few days.
The information seen on the community was too one-sided, but this was not the players' fault; although players were gradually moving out of the novice village at this stage, they still had a long way to go before participating in major game events and being highly regarded by various forces.
Without the attention of major forces and being unfamiliar with this world, it was naturally difficult for players to obtain valuable intelligence.
Lily only knew that after she left, the Gene Primordial was attacked by the Truth Society, and she was also listed as a wanted person by the Gene Primordial, but she had no idea how much damage the Gene Primordial suffered or how high the intensity of her wanted status was.
To her surprise, as soon as she got out of the car, she heard a few passersby discussing her.
"Have you heard about that popular person on the Dark Web recently?"
"Lily?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's her! She provoked both the Truth Society and the Gene Primordial at the same time, and not only that, she slapped the Truth Society and the Gene Primordial hard a few times, then walked away. She's just too awesome! If I were half as awesome as her, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams!"
"What's there to envy? Being offered bounties by these two major forces at the same time, she'll probably be exposed in the wilderness before long."
"Indeed, I heard the Truth Society offered her an 800,000 bounty, and the Gene Primordial's offer was even as high as 1,000,000. Many people must be looking for her now."
"If only I could earn that 1,000,000."
"Stop dreaming, with our strength, it's better to pray we don't run into that monster."
"You're right."
The people speaking shook their heads and sighed.
Is it possible that monster is standing right in front of you now?
Lily, who had re-dyed her hair black and wore a black mask while on the run, rolled her eyes.
An interesting piece of information was revealed in their conversation.
After she exposed Inoue, the Truth Society raised her bounty to 800,000. This time, she blew up a Truth Society base, but the bounty amount remained unchanged. This didn't seem like the Truth Society's style. What trick was the Truth Society playing in the dark?
Lily, pretending to be nonchalant, found the Dark Web's outpost in Shelter 7.
"That will be 1,000 credit points in total."
Looking at the data hard drive containing the information handed over by the staff, Lily's mouth twitched involuntarily.
The price of this intelligence was really expensive. Fortunately, she was a small rich woman now, otherwise, she would have to find a way to get some money.
She imported the data from the hard drive into her personal terminal.
This time, she purchased three pieces of intelligence.
The first piece of intelligence was a detailed report on the Gene Primordial's attack by the Truth Society. The report mentioned that the Truth Society's target was a research institute in the Songshan settlement. Due to the Gene Primordial's very strict news blockade afterward, even the powerful Makarov Family did not know what the Truth Society had stolen.
The second piece of intelligence was a detailed introduction to the 11th Shelter. Unlike the thriving Shelter 7, the 11th Shelter, located deep in the Goli Desert, was now desolate, with a large number of desert predators and mutated sand worms lurking nearby.
The third piece of intelligence was an introduction to Yulia.
Lily just tried her luck asking the Dark Web to investigate Yulia. She didn't even know Yulia's full name, only providing a slightly abstract portrait, but surprisingly, the Dark Web quickly found the information.
Name: Yulia Vivianni (Female)
Age: 22 (Deceased)
Place of Birth: Red Sand Worm Camp under the jurisdiction of the 11th Shelter
Following this was a long introduction.
Yulia was born into an Ordinary poor family, but she displayed extraordinary Spiritual Energy talent at a very young age. The leader of a group of Wanderer called the Watchers noticed her ability and tricked her into joining the Watchers with a basket of bread.
With Yulia's addition, the Watchers grew to become the most powerful group of Wanderer near the 11th Shelter in three years.
During these three years, Yulia earned the name 'Black Crow'.
"When the Black Crow appears, death descends!"
There were once members of a group of Wanderer who were unwilling to be expelled and spent all their family wealth to put a bounty on the Dark Web, wanting to use assassins to eliminate Yulia.
But three waves of assassins went, and all of them died inexplicably the moment they saw Yulia. Since then, no assassin has taken on the task of eliminating Yulia.
Of course, this was not because all assassins feared Yulia. The bounty for that mission was 20,000 credit points, which was not low but definitely not high. This led to strong assassins not caring about this bounty, and assassins who cared about this bounty were not strong enough.
In any case, Yulia's reputation soared in the Goli Desert due to the assassination attempts.
She herself wasn't particularly fond of killing; compared to fighting for the Watchers, she was more interested in medicine. With the Watchers' leader's funding, she systematically studied basic medical knowledge.
A scythe in one hand to reap lives, medicine in the other to save lives; black and white perfectly blended in Yulia.
If everything had gone smoothly, with Yulia's help, the Watchers had hoped to become the most powerful force in the Goli Desert, but unfortunately, Yulia was unexpectedly attacked by a giant sand worm and died as a result, her life ending at 22. After her death, the Watchers disintegrated and are now, like many other short-lived groups of Wanderer, buried under the yellow sand.
"This happened two years ago, which means Yulia would be 24 this year."
24 years old, and a member of the Truth Society!
Lily was thoughtful.
The intelligence said Yulia died, but in reality, Yulia did not die; instead, she joined the Truth Society. It seemed something extraordinary happened during this period.
"I feel like there's a quest here, but I don't know what the quest rewards are like."
Lily temporarily put this aside; she now had a grander plan.
Regardless of whether she could obtain the Spiritual Energy knowledge she wanted from Yulia this time, since she had completely offended the Truth Society and the Gene Primordial, for safety reasons, she would have to develop herself well from now on.
She had two ideas.
The first idea was naturally to continue collecting Spiritual Energy knowledge to lay a good foundation for unlocking advanced professions. The second idea was related to players.
Her opponents were not a single person or a single monster, but two huge forces. Even if she unlocked an advanced profession and her personal strength reached the peak on this planet, it would be difficult for her to eliminate the Truth Society and the Gene Primordial by herself.
No way, the novice planet doesn't allow such an awesome person to exist!
To achieve this goal, she needed other assistance, and the first thing she thought of was the players.
