When the Chief of the logistics Department used the gun to shoot players, she had been observing the damage values. After comparing the players' attributes with hers, she felt that this gun could not pose a threat to her unless it hit her weak spots.
And that was precisely the case; that shot just now only dealt 2 points of damage to her. For her, with a total health of 270, this amount of damage was practically negligible.
In fact, even if her estimation was wrong and the bullet got embedded in her palm, Lily wasn't afraid.
She was different from Ordinary NPCs; her digitized body possessed an ability that all NPCs envied: the great art of breathing to restore health!
As long as she was out of combat and didn't have disabilities or high-damage continuous bleeding debuffs, her injuries would always heal as her health recovered over time.
If it weren't for this ability, she wouldn't dare to take on quests with such high intensity.
"Now, it's time to send you on your way."
Lily raised the gun.
By this time, Mark had already climbed up from the ground and was running like mad towards the Wildfire Gang's location.
Lily pulled the trigger.
The bullet flew out of the barrel and hit Mark in the butt, causing him to scream and fall to the ground.
"Missed?"
Lily rolled her eyes.
She had clearly aimed for Mark's back.
Never mind, it's not a big deal. If you're bad, just practice more!
Lily put away the gun and quickly rushed to Mark. Just as Mark propped himself up, she kicked him in the chest again.
"Ah!" Mark's throat let out a beast-like roar, "Bai... Ah ah ah ah..."
He had originally intended to shout Lily's name loudly, but the sudden hardening of his mouth only allowed him to make indistinct sounds.
Before he could figure out what was happening, Lily had already kicked him in the chin.
"-27"
This kick not only dealt high damage but also inflicted a 10-second [Dizzy] debuff on Mark.
Lily pressed the gun against Mark's neck: "I originally didn't intend to kill you so quickly, but you insisted on seeking death, so there's nothing I can do."
Bang!
The bullet entered Mark's throat. After struggling for a while, Mark's health bar was completely emptied.
[You have killed Mark, 100% contribution, gained 1750 experience points after level difference correction]
Just like when she killed Martin, no quest was triggered this time. This was normal; after all, she and Mark were in the same faction. It would be truly absurd if killing someone from her own faction could trigger quest rewards.
Lily dragged Mark's body to a distant spot, made some easily discoverable disguises, and then returned home.
The next day, she didn't receive news from the Wildfire Gang until noon.
"Minister Cao is dead!"
"I heard he was killed by those Outsiders in retaliation for the attack the night before. Minister Cao died a truly miserable death; his chin and throat were completely smashed. The Leader rushed over as soon as he received the news."
"Damn it, those Outsiders are too lawless!"
When Lily arrived at the scene with the main group, she found the Wildfire Gang Leader squatting on the ground, examining Mark's corpse.
Standing beside the Wildfire Gang Leader was a woman she had never seen before. The woman clearly had a Western face, and her hair was an ice-blue color that couldn't naturally grow in reality. She stood expressionlessly, emanating an aura that warned others to keep their distance.
"Who's that?"
The person next to her explained: "She's an Outsiders guest. The Leader has been entertaining her recently, otherwise, those Outsiders wouldn't be so arrogant."
Lily instinctively threw a [Spiritual Vision] at her.
[Skill check failed]
"?"
Lily was startled. It was her first time encountering a failed Spiritual Vision check. Not even the Wildfire Gang Leader was that absurd; at most, the data returned would all be question marks.
She felt that she might have encountered some hidden quest or the main quest of this Abandoned Cooling Plant Novice Village.
While she was thinking, the Wildfire Gang Leader stood up: "It seems I must personally make time to meet those Outsiders."
"Wait."
Suddenly, the ice-like woman spoke.
The Wildfire Gang Leader turned around in confusion.
"It shouldn't be those Outsiders who killed him."
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about your people's encounters with those Outsiders these past few days. They only use despicable methods. If they did it, there would be human excrement on his body, and around here, more or less."
Holy crap, blind man, you found the key point!
Almost instantly, everyone's gaze in the vicinity focused on the ice-like woman.
Lily was no exception.
You must have come from a Detective Conan movie, to have discovered this!
The onlookers whispered among themselves.
These past few days, when they went out to fight with those Outsiders, they always encountered a few big bastards who smeared their weapons with feces. The Chief of the logistics Department's surprise attack the day before yesterday was the same. There was no reason for the Outsiders Mark encountered to suddenly become benevolent.
The Wildfire Gang Leader's expression changed slightly: "If it wasn't the Outsiders, then..."
The ice-like woman said: "I'm not sure, there's no evidence."
The Wildfire Gang Leader said nothing more, his face showing unconcealed anxiety.
Regardless of whether Mark's death was caused by the Outsiders, its occurrence meant that the entire Wildfire Gang's survival was threatened, and he had to take it more seriously.
He thought of Lily.
He had finally found a successor who seemed very promising; he couldn't let this successor follow in the footsteps of that idiot Mark.
After instructing someone to drag Mark's body back, he shouted to the attendant standing guard at the door:
"Go call Lily over, I have a new task for her."
