To prevent Lily from being summoned by Yulia, both the players, Yago, and Shino used all their abilities.
They cast aside all their concerns, treating the last dozen meters as the battlefield for the decisive battle.
One group of players advanced one after another, doing their best to stop Lily from moving forward.
Another group of players were equally fearless, trying every possible way to attack Yulia.
Now was the critical moment; if Yulia's control could be loosened even a tiny bit, Lily might be able to break free.
Under the players' cover, Yago was not to be outdone; he directly loaded the special bullet, originally intended to find an opportunity to end Yulia's life, into the magazine.
Now, there was no time to worry about anything else. No matter what, Yulia absolutely could not be allowed to take Lily into that underground laboratory; otherwise, all their previous sacrifices would be in vain, and the Abandoned Cooling Plant would not escape destruction by the insect tide.
For the Abandoned Cooling Plant, for Lily who was still burning herself out even while controlled, for all love and justice, charge, damn it!
Yago pulled the trigger, and the bullet spun out of the barrel at high speed, passing through the gaps between players and heading straight for Yulia's head.
Friendship, bonds, and courage merged perfectly at this moment.
Strength, speed, and reaction were also unleashed to their fullest at this moment.
Yago had high hopes for this shot, but he still underestimated Yulia's vigilance.
While controlling the players and Lily, Yulia still kept nearly half her attention on him. The moment she saw him raise his gun, Yulia had already manipulated Aberrant Nine to lunge in front of her.
Boom!
The slight explosion was not Yulia's head, but Aberrant Nine's right leg.
Aberrant Nine screamed and fell to the ground, a large pool of dark red blood flowing beneath it.
Damn it, is it still not enough?
Yago slammed his fist on the ground.
The situation was already so chaotic, why could that woman still manage the battle so clearly?
As a sniper, it was his first time encountering an enemy who restrained him so much. More than anger, what he felt now was more frustration.
"Damn!"
This time, it might truly be over.
Despite being only a dozen meters away, no matter how brave the players were, it was impossible to truly stop Lily.
If the opponent was only Lily, they could rely on their numbers to drag her back, but Yulia also controlled many players. Under the harassment of those players, they could only watch helplessly as Lily, step by step, after crossing a dozen meters, finally arrived beside Yulia.
Won!
Yulia smiled.
The moment Lily walked beside her, the players who had been so aggressive just moments before all stopped, and Shino, who had been continuously shooting, also dared not act rashly.
The noisy Wildfire Gang fell silent in an instant.
It was as if the volume of a horror movie on a TV had suddenly been turned to 0, filled with unease and strangeness.
At this moment, the only lively place was the live streams opened by the players present, especially Excavation Princess's live stream.
[Lily is hopeless now]
[What a pity, I thought Lily had a lot of plotlines, but I didn't expect her to go offline so quickly. This BOSS seems to be the real heavyweight.]
[It can't be said that there's no plot, but Lily's words subtly revealed that her background is extraordinary. I estimate she's just a trigger, and later there will be a revenge mission to reveal the forces behind her.]
[Damn you, plot planner! How could you arrange such an ending for Lily? I'm going to blow up with you!]
[I cannot accept this!]
[Excavation Princess, say something! You haven't been so shocked that you fainted, have you?]
Excavation Princess was indeed shocked.
Recently, seeing that the official side hadn't released any new promotional videos, she was preparing to edit a video of Lily herself to promote Lily. Doing so would not only attract more popularity for herself but also indirectly refute those who had previously questioned her conjectures.
But who would have thought things would suddenly turn out like this?
Now it was over. Even if it was proven later that Lily's background was extraordinary, since Lily died in the novice village, her previous conjectures had a major flaw and would be severely scrutinized by some people.
Excavation Princess almost fainted from anger.
