When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 59: After sunset on the 35th day, she resolutely headed toward death [Two-in-one plea for continued reading]_3
"Ah?"
Xia Shi, Yago, Digging Girl and the others all turned their heads.
Bai Fu explained, "Just waiting like this, how long will it take for us to have a chance to rush out with the Inductive Bait? We have to take the initiative to lure those bugs and expose their flaws."
The proposal was unanimously approved, but—
"Who will rush out with the Inductive Bait?"
Yago asked.
This task was extremely dangerous. Staying in the Abandoned Cooling Factory to defend against the Insect Tide still offered a glimmer of hope for survival, but the person who took this task was almost certainly sentenced to death.
Convert to Me Fu was the first to step forward: "Let me do it."
"No, this is not a task you can complete." Bai Fu immediately stopped him, "In order to lead the Insect Tide away, the Inductive Bait must be thrown far from the Abandoned Cooling Factory. With your power, it is very likely you'll die on the way, which would render all our efforts pointless."
These words were a bit hurtful, but they were very realistic. Players are not afraid of death, but their current power indeed didn't support them to complete the task.
So, among all the people present, the only one who could carry out this task was...
A bad premonition suddenly arose in the hearts of the players.
"I'll personally execute this task."
Bai Fu stood up.
"No!"
In that instant, the surrounding players shouted in unison.
A faint smile appeared on Bai Fu's face: "I know, I understand your sentiments, but right now, I am the only one here who can do this. Mr. Yago and Miss Xia Shi excel in firearms combat, unlike me. I excel in close combat. Don't worry, ordinary Amoebas won't be able to injure me."
She wasn't lying.
Her 26 Constitution points compared to the Amoebas were simply crushing. Unless a large group of Amoebas sprayed their venom at her at the same time, she didn't have to worry about injuries, and even if she was truly surrounded, she was not scared—she still had the Spiritual Ability Restrainer she got from Number 7.
But how would the players know this? All they knew was that Bai Fu wanted to sacrifice herself.
How could it be like this!
They had just crossed the huge hurdle of Julia, and what awaited them should have been happiness and fulfillment, not the sorrow of parting and death.
"There has to be another way!"
Bai Fu said sharply, "Don't be stubborn, we are out of time. The sun has set, and after dark, the Insect Tide will become even more dangerous. We have to lead the Insect Tide away as soon as possible."
"But..."

The scolded players did not back down.
Bai Fu and they glared at each other for a long time; finally, she sighed, walked away from the crowd, stood under a light, and gazed into the disorderly crowd of refugees.
In a very calm tone, she said, "This place where I once lived has many familiar faces I know, and you are here too, the so-called Heroes. Do you remember what I said when I came looking for you? I can't just watch this place become a Monster's paradise."
Digging Girl initially wanted to say something, but after seeing that lonely figure under the light, she suddenly felt as if there was something stuck in her throat.
That day, must have been the day Bai Fu had come despite the dangers to inform them about the Wildfire Gang's attack.
—I'm beginning to understand why you qualify as the legendary Heroes.
—You don't understand; you don't know anything!
Lines of dialogue began to echo in Digging Girl's mind. She had played many games, but such a unique experience was a first.
Here, she was herself; she wasn't anyone else. Here, she didn't have to peer at another world through a screen but was genuinely integrated into this world.
Digging Girl suddenly felt annoyed. Why was the immersion of this game so intense?
Not just Digging Girl, other players felt much the same. They wanted to do something, but what could they possibly do?
"I can't accept this!"
"But that's life. There will always be frustrations," Bai Fu said with a smile. She turned to look at Yago, "Mr. Yago, could you lend me your car?"
"Ah, the car, no problem, but... Are you sure you want to go?" Yago felt conflicted.
Bai Fu said, "Mr. Yago, I think you understand that this is the best course of action right now."
Yago didn't speak anymore.
Yes, rationally speaking, this was the best course of action, only sacrificing a very few.
But the person to be sacrificed was Bai Fu, an especially intriguing person in this wasteland, one that people unconsciously wanted to befriend.
He clenched his jaw for a long time, but ultimately, he threw the keys out.
"I'll wait for you to return."
Xia Shi immediately followed suit, giving Bai Fu all her weapons: "I'll wait for you to return."
"Thank you."
Bai Fu jumped into the car.
Just as she was about to start the car, Patrick suddenly rushed up.
"Take me with you. At a critical moment, I can jump out of the car and draw away some of the bugs."
"I can too!" Convert to Me Fu was the second to dash forward.
A group of players blocked the car like this; Bai Fu, with a helpless expression, eventually chose five players to bring along. She didn't bring more because the car could only fit that many.
The operation finally began.
Under Yago's command, some players purposefully provoked the Amoebas and then lured them to other places. Their actions were very successful, and they quickly made a small gap in the Insect Tide.
Bai Fu raised her right hand high, waving to the left and the right.
Goodbye, everyone!
After sunset, on the edge of the Abandoned Cooling Factory, Yago, Xia Shi, hundreds of players, and even more viewers in the live stream watched the not-so-tall silver-haired girl.
For love.
For the land they loved, for the people who lived on that land, and for the players they had high hopes for.
When the car started roaring, the silver-haired girl resolutely drove into the wilderness towards that wall known as death.
At that moment, the first comment to drift across the live broadcast was—
[My heart has been stolen by Bai Fu; perhaps there will be no more joy or sorrow in this lifetime.]
