"2x2? What could 2x2 be from the [Employee Dormitory] free insurance package? It's so hard to guess~"

The Special Operations Division is investigating the area within the "Clifftop Plague Hospital - Top Secret".

It was pitch black outside, with the occasional sharp and terrifying roar of a zombie and the boss's voice coming from the direction of the [Beast Research Laboratory].

however.

Chu Hong, however, was acting as if he had entered an ordinary-level secret realm.

Not only were they not afraid at all, but they were also completely unrestrained.

At that moment, the item in the black frame search bar in front of him appeared in his hand amidst a burst of red light.

【Masked Worm】!

"Simon! Simon somomi~"

Chu Hong was overjoyed. The "Masked Worm," which used to make him lose sanity at first glance, was now becoming more and more beautiful to him.

"Haha, beautiful! Another [Masked Worm] acquired! The collection showcase can be upgraded to level 1 immediately!"

Chu Hong was delighted. With a thought, an invisible radar wave swept around him, instantly revealing the entire [employee dormitory] and the distribution of zombies in the surrounding area.

It appeared in his mind as a 3D image.

[Collectible]: Cobweb Brain-Computer Interface

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Instantly reveals the perception of life forms within a radius of no more than 1000 meters and whose energy reaction does not exceed the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 500W Energy Points, [Brain Domain Reading Device] *3

For three days, Chu Hong ate whatever he could find in the Special Operations Division, while the floor of his home outside was covered in dust, and the clone was still fast asleep.

Three days!

He lost count of how many rounds of knife fighting he played in the top-secret [Clifftop Plague Hospital].

But it must have been at least a hundred games.

Following yesterday's good fortune, despite being surrounded and intercepted by the [Project No. "Dominator" clone], I managed to escape with the large red [Cobweb Brain Machine] and activated its level 1 display case effect in the [Large Red Collection Room].

Chu Hong became quite adept at entering the [Clifftop Plague Hospital - Top Secret] .

Activating the display case in the "Big Red Collection Room" is so satisfying.

Chu Hong, who was already extremely familiar with the [Clifftop Plague Hospital] map, now had his level 1 effect activated after the [Cobweb Brain Machine] display case was activated.

Entering the [Clifftop Plague Hospital] is no different from going home.

No matter where it is, or even in the eternal darkness where even the source energy cannot detect it, any factor that could potentially cause a surprise attack on the pioneers and thus trigger a zombie riot across the entire map.

Before him, nothing could hide.

Just as Chu Hong was happily thinking about heading to the [Underground Dissection Center] to take advantage of its resources,

The sudden alarm from the Secret Service left him frozen in place.

[Ding! External clone has died!]

[The host will be forcibly teleported ten kilometers away from the entry point if they leave the Special Operations Division.]

[To generate a fake clone again, please pay 2000 million Source Points]

Chu Hong: "???"

He seemed completely dumbfounded, and after a long while, he suddenly gasped for breath.

"Holy crap! Bro, you mean... I'm dead?"

【Ding! 】

To be precise, the one who died was your clone, who was in a dormant state outside the real world. Someone just entered your home and cut off the clone's head.

Chu Hong took a breath and couldn't help but touch his neck.

He looked completely bewildered.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out who he had offended in the base city, someone who would dare to kill him right there in the base city...

"Damn! 2000 million Energy Points! That's almost all the funds in my account right now?!"

Chu Hong's eyes instantly turned red!

If it weren't for the fact that he's been working like a madman these past few days, running the knife non-stop.

After deducting the 2000 million source energy points, he didn't even have the money to pay the remaining balance for the [Biological Weapon Cultivation Room]!

Even so, he has now been reduced to nothing overnight because of this accident!

Without the slightest hesitation.

Chu Hong immediately rushed towards the evacuation point of the [Eastern Cliff Cableway].

Meanwhile, Huangshan Base City!

When Jiang Long arrived quickly at the meeting place he had arranged with Sha Lie, Sha Lie was already waiting there.

"Are you sure it's been dealt with?"

Sha Lie was filled with anticipation.

Then he saw Jiang Long hand a silver-white cube-shaped briefcase directly to him.

I opened it and took a look.

A faint chill emanated from the box, and inside lay the head of a young boy.

With his eyes closed, it seemed he was still asleep until he died.

Sha Lie's smile grew even wider.

"Hehe, as expected of a dragon crossing the river! Good! It's this brat who ruined the president's important plans and greatly displeased him. With a brain like that, you and I would definitely be praised by the president!"

Jiang Long had no interest in listening to this roundabout nonsense.

"This kid signed up for the Dragon Roar Sacred Academy's assessment and has also made great contributions to Huangshan Base City. If this is exposed, neither of us will survive. Arrange for me to leave Huangshan Base City immediately!"

"I'm going to the Night Raven Society headquarters!"

Sha Lie nodded, looking at Chu Hong's head in his hand, his heart filled with excitement.

This is a great achievement.

He will definitely be remembered by that president, and may even... officially join the Black Hole Council!

......

"Glug glug"

At Chu Hong's home.

K's blue tentacles swelled and expanded, covering the entire blood-soaked bed, accompanied by a sticky sensation and the sound of bones cracking.

The headless clone, whose "skillful swordsmanship" even impressed Chu Hong, soon disappeared from the world.

To be honest, the feeling of lying on the bed with my headless corpse was quite unique.

This was Chu Hong's first reaction upon seeing this scene after leaving the Special Operations Division and rushing home.

Chu Hong retrieved the data captured by the [Flying Bird Drone] hidden in the shadows of his home. He looked at the nimble figure on the screen in front of him, which had just as skillfully vaulted through the window as he had when he went to Xu Daili's house.

His expression faltered slightly.

Jiang Long, the leader of the Crossing-the-River Dragon Squad?!

Watching Jiang Long cleanly and decisively sever the clone's head with a single stroke and then quickly pack up and leave, Chu Hong was filled with deep confusion.

He considered all the possibilities.

He thought of burglary, of black market thieves sneaking into his home, of someone his past self might have offended, and even of the Night Raven Society of the Black Hole Council...

But I never expected this.

The person who killed him was none other than Jiang Long, a star pioneer of Huangshan Base City whom he had never even met!

"So... he's taking my head with him as a bribe?"

Chu Hong stroked his chin, a strange smile gradually forming at the corners of his mouth.
