Chapter 143: 69 Those years, we chased Bai Fu together【4k】
Three days later, Bai Fu parked her car at Refuge No. 7, close to the Goli Desert.
Refuge No. 7 was a melting pot of all sorts.
After years of development, this refuge, established after the World War, had evolved into a supply station for entering the Goli Desert. Every day, many people from other places or leaving the Goli Desert would stop here.
Food, water, fuel, weapons, crafting materials, a night of pleasure, or even a life—everything could be bought here as long as you had the money.
Bai Fu decided to stop here, replenishing supplies was secondary; she mainly wanted to inquire about the recent changes in the external situation.
The information from the Community was still too one-sided; not that she could blame the Players. Although Players had gradually moved out of Newbie Village, they were still a long way from being taken seriously and getting involved in major game events by the various power factions.
Without the attention of the major power factions and unfamiliar with this world, it was naturally difficult for Players to get hold of valuable intelligence.
Bai Fu only knew that after she left, the Genetic Primordials had been attacked by the Truth Society, and she was also listed as a fugitive by the Genetic Primordials, but she had no idea how much damage the Genetic Primordials had suffered or how intense their pursuit of her was.
What surprised her was that as soon as she got out of the car, she overheard a few people nearby talking about her.
"Have you heard about the hot topic on the Dark Web recently?"
"Bai Fu?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's her. She's managed to offend both the Truth Society and the Genetic Primordials. Not only that, but she also severely slapped both factions in the face and then just walked away. It's freaking incredible. If I had half her guts, I'd die laughing in my dreams!"
"What's there to envy? Being wanted by those two major forces, it probably won't be long before she's exposed dead in the wilderness."
"True, I heard the Truth Society has placed an 800,000 Credit Coin bounty on her, and the Genetic Primordials have gone even higher, offering 1 million. By now, there must already be lots of people looking for her."
"If only I could earn that 1 million."
"Forget about it, and stop dreaming. With our abilities, we're better off praying not to run into that monster."
"Indeed."
The few people shook their heads and sighed.
Is it possible that the monster they were talking about is standing right in front of you now?
Bai Fu, who had dyed her hair back to black and put on a black mask while on the run, rolled her eyes.
The conversation of these people revealed an interesting piece of information.
The Truth Society had raised her bounty to 800,000 Credit Coins after she pulled Li Cheng out. She had blown up a Truth Society base this time, but her bounty had not changed at all. This did not seem like the Truth Society's style. What was the Truth Society plotting in secret?
Pretending to be nonchalant, Bai Fu found the Dark Web outpost at Refuge No. 7.
"That will be 1,000 Credit Coins in total."
Looking at the data disk with the information handed to her by the staff member, the corner of Bai Fu's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The price of this intelligence was indeed steep. It was a good thing she was minorly wealthy now, otherwise, she'd have had to figure out a way to make some money.
She transferred the data from the disk to her personal terminal.
This time, she had purchased three pieces of intelligence.
The first was a detailed report on the Genetic Primordial's attack by the Truth Society, which mentioned that the Truth Society's target was a research institute in the Songshan Settlement. As the Genetic Primordials had conducted a very strict news blockade after the fact, even the omnipotent Makarov Family was not clear about what exactly the Truth Society had stolen.
The second was a detailed description of Refuge No. 11, which, unlike the thriving Refuge No. 7 located deep within the Goli Desert, was now in a state of decline, with lots of Desert Raiders and Mutated Sand Worms lurking around.
The third piece of intelligence was an introduction to Julia.
Bai Fu just tried her luck and asked the Dark Web to investigate Julia, not even knowing Julia's full name, providing only a somewhat abstract portrait. She didn't expect the Dark Web to find the information so quickly.
[Name]: Julia Viviani (female)
[Age]: 22 (deceased)
[Place of Birth]: Red Sand Worm Camp under the jurisdiction of Refuge No. 11
There followed a long list of introductions.
Julia was born into an Ordinary poor family, but she exhibited a Spiritual Energy Talent beyond normal people at a very young age. The leader of a wanderer group called the Watchers took a liking to her Ability and lured her into joining the Watchers with a basket of bread.
With Julia's inclusion, the Wanderers became the strongest wanderer group around Refuge No. 11 in three years.
During these three years, Julia gained the moniker "Black Crow."
[When the Black Crow appears, it is the moment of Descent to death!]
Some wanderers, unwilling to be expelled, spent all their fortune on the Dark Web to place a bounty, hoping to kill Julia through hired Assassins.
However, after three waves of Assassins, they all died mysteriously the instant they saw Julia. Since then, no Assassins had taken the task to kill her.
Of course, this was not because all Assassins feared Julia. The bounty for that task was 20,000 Credit Coins, not too low but definitely not high, causing the stronger Assassins to look down on such a small amount, while those who were tempted by such an amount were not strong enough.
Either way, Julia became famous in the Goli Desert because of the assassination incident.
She actually didn't care much for killing. Instead of helping the Watchers fight, she was more interested in medicine and systematically learned the basics of medical science with the support of the Wanderers' leader.
