All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

"He's here!"

With a loud shout, Chu Hong instantly rushed in front of his opponent and severed his neck with a single stroke.

Stopped abruptly.

however.

As the drone fell, hundreds of armed men emerged from all directions in an instant.

"You're surrounded! Drop your weapons and put your hands behind your head!"

Several infrared rays instantly focused on Chu Hong.

Seeing the increasing number of enemies, Chu Hong felt a surge of anger. He had been avoiding the AI ​​from beginning to end, without making a single sound.

Suddenly, Chu Hong thought of the figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the roof of the main building of the Palino Base.

It's him!

Chu Hong's heart skipped a beat.

Why did they have to arrest him right when he was just touching the baby? The alarm went off!

Such an unusual coincidence filled Chu Hong with an ominous premonition.

"Hana-lai!"

With a low shout, his body's source energy erupted instantly.

Superpower [Slaughter Overlord] activated!

Just as Chu Hong made his move, [Ke Xiaoken], who had been following him closely, suddenly extended its tentacles.

Three or four soldiers, who had raised their guns and aimed, were grabbed by the arms of Ke Xiaoken and their weapons were tightly bound and held together before they could even fire.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

The brutal, heavy thud of flesh striking flesh, like a sledgehammer being swung, was accompanied by several screams.

Instantly, all of them collapsed to the ground.

Chu Hong, on the other hand, was equally swift and decisive, easily dispatching several soldiers with a few quick maneuvers and dodges.

"withdraw!"

Without any hesitation!

With supplies still in his backpack and having brought no supplies with him, Chu Hong immediately retreated towards the gate without hesitation.

In this game, he landed at the first position in the [Parino Valley Base].

Not only have they thoroughly investigated the situation at the outer outpost, but they have also figured out the terrain of the eastern area of ​​the Palino Valley Base, as well as the location of Xiaomianbao.

Withdraw, start a new game, and continue accumulating intelligence.

There's no need to engage in a pointless argument here!

however.

Chu Hong wanted to leave, but at that moment, the heavy doors of the [Parino Valley Base] slowly closed.

With a loud bang, the two doors were slammed shut.

An armored vehicle, equipped with a heavy machine gun, appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by nearly a hundred armed personnel.

They stood in front of Chu Hong.

"Tsk...why is it still closed?"

Chu Hong sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, nothing particularly valuable came out in this round. The golden human head in my backpack was just a gold item, so losing it was no big deal.

Chu Hong was preparing to evacuate using C4 on the spot.

But at that moment, a calm voice suddenly came from very close behind.

"The ability you just used was not an ordinary method... You are very different from others, and you are definitely not an ordinary petty thief."

Chu Hong's pupils contracted.

Turning around abruptly, I was horrified to see a man with slicked-back hair standing behind me, dressed in a black leather coat over a close-combat suit, with eyes radiating a captivating red light.

A line of information appeared before Chu Hong's eyes.

Cliff Young, Head of Security at Palino Biogroup

Cliff Young's prosthetic eye glowed red, as if it could see through everything about Chu Hong, and a slight change appeared on his hard-edged, cold face.

"A remarkable energy response... You've come for the Flower of Eternity!"

It gave Chu Hong no chance to explain, and it was as if it was just reciting lines that should have been spoken by him.

Cliff Young said calmly.

"But you shouldn't come here as a thief. It's a desecration and insult to your abilities, and it diminishes humanity's standing before God."

Chu Hong didn't speak, or rather, he was somewhat confused about the strange situation at hand.

He had encountered bosses or NPCs before.

But whether it's the boss priest and leader of the Thunderhorn Lizardman tribe, or Dr. Hoffman of the [Clifftop Plaguehouse], they are more like low-level AIs with communication abilities.

This was the first time Chu Hong had ever encountered a boss who was actually analyzing him, the "player," and could only engage in ordinary communication or issue tasks.

Chu Hong did not choose to evacuate directly from the spot.

Instead, when faced with the guards who came forward and tied his hands behind his back, he didn't even resist. At worst, he would get lost, since he was less than thirty minutes away from getting lost anyway.

[Ke Xiaoken] transformed into a beam of red light and merged into Chu Hong's body.

This miraculous scene did not elicit the slightest reaction from the humans and machines present, but it did cause Cliff Young in front of him to smile and nod.

"A very novel ability, it seems to be some kind of summoning or driving force."

Under the personal escort of several riot shield soldiers and hammer soldiers, Chu Hong followed Cliff Young into the main building of the Palino base.

As soon as he entered the gate, Chu Hong saw the sign on the side of the reception desk.

The arrow pointing to the left: [Emergency Preparedness Department] [Research Laboratory No. 1]

The arrow pointing to the right: [Project Announcement and Exhibition Hall] [Research Laboratory No. 2]

With his hands tied behind his back, Chu Hong did not move left or right. Under Chu Hong's gaze, Cliff Young walked in front and arrived at an elevator door in the center.

He pulled out a black and gold card from his pocket that made Chu Hong's expression change.

"drop!"

The elevator doors opened.

As the elevator continued to ascend, it had to be said that compared to the previous [Clifftop Plague Hospital], the area and building size of the [Parino Valley Base] completely dwarfed the [Clifftop Plague Hospital].

Take this elevator for example, it has a full 12 floors!

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, and Chu Hong was roughly pushed out of the elevator by two shield soldiers. Looking at the luxurious living room with floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him, Chu Hong could see the lookout tower where he had killed the sniper earlier through the windows.

At this moment, besides him and Cliff Young, there was another figure in the living room.

A balding, pot-bellied, nouveau riche white man.

Chu Hong's gaze fell on the other person's hands, where almost every finger wore a gemstone ring.

[Chairman of Palino Biogroup: Palino Vincent]

Seeing him being brought in, he took a deep drag on his expensive cigar.

"Wow! Yang, even after all these years, and even though you've been left to me by my father, your efficiency is still astonishing."

Chu Hong was forced back into his seat.

Even with several guns pointed at his head, he showed no fear whatsoever.

This surprised both the boss Clive Young and Palino Vincent, who appeared to be an NPC.

The large gold [Palino Head] that Chu Hong had just taken out of the [Collection Safe] was found in his backpack and placed on the table in front of him.

Along with these items, purple collectibles such as the [Optical Invisibility Fabric] that Chu Hong had found were also brought out.

Chu Hong placed the two small gold [Hidden Self-Destruct Cores] into the [Source Energy Space], while the [Parino Blast Shield TPM Chip] had already been used by him.

Entry cost for this round: 9802 (one backpack)

The current yield is: 10

Vincent looked at Chu Hong's calm expression, took another deep drag on his cigar, and then exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"Your composure impresses me, but... I cannot agree with your pursuit. You went to so much trouble, only for this piece of broken, golden stone?"

Vincent, who controlled the entire Palino Bio Group, sneered.

In his eyes, the 15-kilogram pure gold statue was indeed no different from a broken stone.

"You killed my employees, and more than one, and you also destroyed several of our valuable armed robots. I should have killed you directly, and I believe Yang certainly has the ability to do so, but... Yang reported your capabilities to me."

"I'm willing to give you the opportunity to work for me, and I can offer you excellent compensation."

Suddenly, a screen of light appeared before Chu Hong's eyes.
