Bai Fu didn't rush to the Holy Spirit Church's camp.
Her goal for this trip was to complete the fourth branch of the hidden main quest and collect all the Obsidian Shards.
Over the past few years, Pratt had thoroughly studied the Obsidian Shard held by the Holy Spirit Church. He'd also pored over countless news reports, old newspapers, and all kinds of documents.

[Gene Primordial Haidu First Industrial Zone (coordinates xx, xx, xx)]
Since these two coordinates had been directly included in the hidden main quest, Bai Fu figured that the third Obsidian Shard was most likely at one of these locations. Even if it wasn't, she was sure she'd find relevant information there.

Bai Fu planned to head to the Gene Primordial's capital, Haidu, if she found nothing in the Marsk Wilderness. While
