When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 105 - 53 She has countless Players behind her! [Two-in-one]
"Director, the west side has already been breached, but Xu Hong and his team rushed into the camp without regard for the bigger picture," he worried they might run into trouble.
Li Cheng found Lu Yuelin and explained the current situation.
After receiving Lu Yuelin's nod, he immediately led a small four-person squad to the west to provide support.
Li Cheng was now very excited; he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Having failed twice to assassinate Bai Fu, he faced immense pressure. If he failed again this time, even if the Chairman didn't punish him, his status in the Truth Society would plummet.
He had joined the Truth Society to achieve great things, not to tolerate becoming a fringe member.
To deal with the nuisance Bai Fu, this time Li Cheng had prepared three strategies.
First a sneak attack; if that failed, then lure Bai Fu to an ambush site; and if all else failed, he would have to take a risk and let the operatives sent by the Truth Society launch a fierce assault from all directions, then personally seek an opportunity to finish Bai Fu.
No matter what, he could not allow Bai Fu to be taken to Sea Capital.
After storming into the Wanderer Camp, Li Cheng found Bai Fu and others taking cover and exchanging fire with the Wanderers.
He stalked over furiously, catching Xu Hong off guard with a barrage of criticism: "Idiot, do you even know what you're doing? Rushing in blindly, what if there's an ambush? Can you afford the consequences?"
Xu Hong was on the verge of retorting but held back—today's events left him without a good counterargument.
After scolding Xu Hong, Li Cheng looked around.
The battle was intense, with over a dozen Wanderers already riddled with bullets, but the madmen Bai Fu brought weren't faring much better; out of 12, half were already dead, and two were so severely injured they could only lie on the ground.
Just perfect!
Bai Fu was a Spiritual Ability Prayer Master, usually playing a support role. Now that all the big AD brothers who dealt damage were dead, a supporter with support equipment—no matter how good—couldn't turn the tide!
"Look at what this group you recommended has done. If you were one of my men, I would fire you on the spot!"
Li Cheng scoffed in rebuke.
Bai Fu appeared indifferent, but the Players who had been watching the battle in its entirety through Digging Girl's live stream were not pleased.
"[Dude, if it wasn't for Digging and Fufu, you'd still be out there catching a cold in the northwest wind.]
[Old Man, you're courting death!]"
After berating everyone nearby and perfectly showcasing his role, Li Cheng pulled out a gun and fired toward the opposite side.
One salute to freedom, another to death; immediately, a Wanderer attempting to survey the battlefield had his head blown off.
"What are you standing around for? Keep fighting."
Damn it, if you know we have to keep fighting, why the hell were you yelling just now?
Xu Hong's squad members rejoined the fight begrudgingly, and soon after, gunfire intensified again.
After firing two shots, Li Cheng made no further moves.
He was waiting.
In fact, those two shots were a signal.
At that moment, within the camp, an Assassin who had infiltrated the day before set up his gun.
Deep breath, aim, fire!
Bang, bang!
"Get out of the way!"
Another Special Agent standing next to Xia Shi spotted the danger in time. He threw Xia Shi out of the way; the bullet grazed her left arm. The Special Agent who saved her wasn't so lucky—the bullet bloomed like a rose from his chest, splattering Xia Shi's face with blood.
"Enemy attack!"
Xu Hong widened his eyes and yelled desperately.
The place was filled with experienced Special Agents who ducked and dodged upon detecting trouble, but even their quick reactions couldn't match the Assassin lurking in the shadows.
Witness singlehood of 30 years' speed in action!
At the moment Bai Fu placed herself in front of Xia Shi, two more shots rang out like screeching blades—one hit Xu Hong's Power Armor on the left arm; the other passed through the left leg of the Special Agent whose pectoral muscles had been touched by Black Tiger Afu.
Though quick, the damage of these shots was reduced since Xu Hong's squad was on high alert.
"Damn beasts!"
Xu Hong raised his machine gun and let loose a mad spray of bullets.
The bullets poured down frantically, shredding the large wooden shield the Assassin was hiding behind into scattered splinters. The Assassin, now out of chances to shoot, beat a clumsy retreat.
"Don't let him get away!"
Li Cheng roared, giving chase.
Bai Fu glanced at the bullet in her hand—the Assassin had actually fired twice during the first attack, with one bullet hitting her without causing any harm. But due to the chaos, it seemed no one had noticed.
Using her Spiritual Vision on the fleeing Assassin, she received feedback that the template was a Mutant, and found it hard not to link this Assassin with numbers seven and nine who had once shown up at the Abandoned Cooling Factory.
Was this the new round of assassination orchestrated for her by Li Cheng?
Weak as if he hadn't eaten, truly disappointing.
Alright, since you've made your move, now it's my play!
Since Li Cheng was openly associated with the Intelligence Bureau, Bai Fu couldn't just eliminate him in front of everyone. So she was looking for an opportunity when Li Cheng was alone.
Her opportunity came quickly.

While she was checking Xia Shi's body, the Assassin jumped into a car prepared earlier and began to retreat. After shooting at the car's wheels to no avail, Li Cheng quickly doubled back.
"Anyone who can still fight, get in a vehicle and chase with me; leave the others here to take care of the injured."
His gaze swept across the faces of Xia Shi and Bai Fu.
It was now up to Bai Fu whether she would follow. Knowing Xia Shi's character, seeing someone seriously injured while saving her would undoubtedly spur her to give chase.
