The ability user in the passenger seat's expression changed drastically.
Those who could mobilize death-seekers were definitely not Ordinary forces. They began to feel fortunate that Graham had sent people to meet them not long ago, otherwise, they might not have made it back today.
After a chase, the Truth Society's car was still forced to stop. Bullets fired from behind shredded the tires, and the car had no choice but to halt.
"Quick, reinforcements will arrive soon! Before then, we absolutely cannot let them snatch Lily's body!"
Two cars were sprawled across the wilderness, and people from both sides jumped out of their vehicles, starting to shoot at each other from a distance.
One side consisted of well-trained Truth Society agents, the other was players following Lily. Both sides fought back and forth.
In fact, this was precisely the situation the players wanted to see.
Before this operation, Lily had instructed them that the goal was not to kill the Truth Society's people, but to find a way to locate the Truth Society's hidden base near Yilinas.
Therefore, they could neither eliminate these Truth Society members immediately nor be eliminated by them. A stalemate like the current one was the best possible outcome.
Stall, just keep stalling.
Ten minutes later, a joyous cheer suddenly came from the opposite side.
"They're here! Reinforcements are here, haha, let's kill them all!"
The dust kicked up in the distance meant that the Truth Society's people were not bluffing. The players who saw this scene exchanged glances.
The opportunity had arrived!
Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky immediately took command: "We'll drive later. The task of infiltrating the Truth Society's base is up to you!"
Before coming, they had devised two plans.
Plan A: Deliberately let the Truth Society's people capture them, then be taken to the base.
Plan B: If Plan A failed, then Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky and the others would continue to try and track the Truth Society's people to see if they could find the Truth Society's base.
The moment the Truth Society's reinforcements approached, Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky immediately called out to Old Dog and others to run towards the car.
"Trying to escape?"
"Hmph, quickly stop them!"
The Truth Society agents, bolstered by reinforcements, were greatly encouraged. They formed a formation and swiftly charged out.
Facing their attacks, the players who stayed to intercept fought and retreated, putting on the performance of their lives.
Finally, after five minutes of continuous encirclement and pursuit, three of the six players died, and the remaining three were surrounded because they ran out of bullets.
"Run! Why aren't you running now?"
An agent grinned maliciously and shot one of the players in the foot. Then, he waved his hand forcefully.
"Capture them all."
The three players resisted slightly but were quickly incapacitated and thrown into the Truth Society's car.
Although they were certainly going to die once this time, it wasn't a big problem. As long as they could find the location of the Truth Society's base, the experience gained from the exploration alone would compensate for the loss, not to mention the many new tasks that could be triggered later.
"Officer Graham, we have rendezvoused with the team sent to retrieve Lily's body. Yes, we were attacked, but we successfully repelled the attackers and captured three live ones. They are death-seekers. Don't worry, we'll bring them back immediately."
After repelling the players, the Truth Society's convoy encountered no further incidents on their return journey, but for safety reasons, they deliberately took a longer route before arriving at the base.
This base, unlike the Bagaros Base, was not a military base but an agent's station. The number of people was small, but the strength of each person was not to be underestimated.
After personally confirming that the freezing device contained Lily, Graham immediately had the body sent to headquarters, while he himself personally interrogated the three players.
For this, these players had already thought of a countermeasure before coming.
"It's useless for you to capture us. This is just a warning. Sooner or later, the Gene Primordial will sweep the Truth Society into the trash heap. Long live the Gene Primordial!"
Graham's face was extremely grim.
"As expected, it's those useless people from the Gene Primordial who sent them? Still harboring evil intentions!"
He called over the agents responsible for interrogation and told them to try their best to extract some information from these three players. The result, naturally, was that the players were all beaten to death, and they still got nothing.
Graham felt deeply regretful, but then he thought of Lily being dead, and his mood improved considerably.
Calculating the time, Lily should have already been sent to headquarters by helicopter now, right?
He tried to contact Bernardo: "How's the situation?"
Bernardo on the other end of the terminal laughed heartily: "She just arrived five minutes ago. Now the escort personnel are pushing Lily's body towards the laboratory. Graham, you did very well this time. The President will definitely reward you."
Graham humbly replied, "It's just my duty."
Bernardo smiled without speaking. He followed behind the escort personnel, watching as the freezing device containing Lily's body was pushed into Laboratory No. 1 at the headquarters.
At this moment, in the laboratory, seven psionic researchers stood in two rows.
"Be careful."
"Open the freezing device. I want to check her psionic compatibility right now."
Under the operation of a laboratory assistant, the freezing device was opened, and Lily's body was moved into a testing device.
Watching the numbers on the device fluctuate, everyone was nervous.
How much would it be?
As they watched, a strange thing happened.
Lily's body, like a phantom, disappeared into thin air right before everyone's eyes.
What?
The people standing in front of the device for a moment thought they were hallucinating, but when they frantically opened the device, they found that Lily's body was indeed gone.
Disappearing into thin air, how was that possible? Unless it was a trick from the very beginning!
Bernardo was drenched in sweat. He quickly contacted Rattlesnake, but all the private messages he sent went unanswered.
"What did you say?"
The President of the Truth Society, who received the news, was stunned.
Fooled, haha, fooled. He gradually understood everything. Yes, it must be Lily, Rattlesnake, and the Gene Primordial colluding to deliberately trick him. Otherwise, why would Rattlesnake forgo the Gene Primordial's one million and come to the Truth Society instead?
He was so foolish, truly. He had wondered why the Gene Primordial suddenly fell out with Lily. It turned out that it was all an act. The Gene Primordial was just waiting to humiliate him severely in this way.
Bastards.
The Gene Primordial is a bunch of bastards, and Lily is also a bastard!
The President of the Truth Society fell into a rage.
Just then, Bernardo came again.
"President, it's bad. Lily uploaded proof that she's still alive on the Dark Web."
"Lily! Gene Primordial!"
Roars emanated from the President's office.
On this day, all members of the Truth Society at the headquarters were silent as cicadas in winter.
