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

"drop!"

He took out his access card for Research Lab No. 1 and swiped it, and the lab door in front of him opened immediately.

The moment Chu Hong stepped inside, the second isolation door opened automatically.

What comes into view is a huge weapons research laboratory full of metallic technology.

The surrounding area consisted of various workbenches equipped with robotic arms, and in the very center of the laboratory was a huge hoisting platform, on which hung a humanoid armor that was half-finished.

"Ah! Who are you?! Intruder!"

A panicked shout interrupted Chu Hong's observation. Turning his gaze, he saw several people in white coats looking at him with alarmed expressions. The armed personnel sitting against the wall in the laboratory immediately picked up their weapons, ready to attack Chu Hong.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

Chu Hong propelled himself forward with jet propulsion, easily deflecting enemy bullets that struck his armor.

The weapons and ammunition used by the armed personnel in this laboratory were actually rubber bullets...

They easily took down these non-threatening "lab security guards" in a few moves.

Chu Hong then raised his hand and dealt with the scattered white-coated robots as well.

His eyes searched around.

Soon, among the various containers, they found the high-value container they had been longing for.

It was a dark gold safe bearing the logo of the Palino Bio Group.

Search results for "Parino Advanced Supplies Transport Container (High-Value Container)": ...

A three-square item (1 x 3) appeared in the search box.

As the search icon spun for longer and longer, Chu Hong's previously indifferent expression suddenly turned excited.

"Holy crap, three red bars? That's just enough to fill up my insurance coverage!"

Chu Hong chuckled, and then, amidst a burst of red light...

A familiar [Duke's Cane], one he had previously received from Squad Leader Wu, appeared in his hand.

The Duke's Cane display case can be upgraded!

"Feeling great..."

After touring the rest of the [Research Lab No. 1] to make sure no cards were swiped, no open-air red containers were used, or any other high-value containers, Chu Hong hummed a little tune as he approached Song Jiao'er and the others.

"Boss, the key room has been opened for you, and I've cleared out all the people and machines inside. You can go and eat now."

Upon hearing this...

Wang Xinghe's smile was so wide it almost disappeared from his eyes.

"Hahaha, great, great, Brother Hong is awesome! I, Wang Xinghe, am definitely going to be your friend! I'll definitely come back to you guys for any more jobs like this!"

Although the name of this squad, "Big Dog Chews ...

After giving his instructions, Chu Hong headed straight for the east side of the main building.

Let's just give them a "Research Lab No. 1" as a token gesture, and let them use a big red card to go to the top floor?

Chu Hong wasn't that magnanimous.

This young master Wang's current compensation is still just a promise...

Song Jiao'er and Wang Suming arrived at the [Research Laboratory No. 1]. The Wang siblings looked at the human and machine corpses scattered on the ground and immediately cheered with joy.

Without Song Jiao'er and the others even saying anything, they quickly began searching one by one.

Song Jiao'er smiled and shook her head, then began searching for the large-scale immune system in the laboratory.

When she saw the [Parino Advanced Supplies Transport Box] that Chu Hong had opened and taken away its contents, she was first stunned, then immediately understood what had happened.

If it were just ordinary small gold, Chu Hong would definitely not bother to take it.

Then there's only one possibility...

She glanced at the Wang siblings, who were engrossed in touching the container not far away, and silently took out a few small gold and small purple items from her backpack and put them into the container.

"Miss Wang, there are two small gold coins in this high-value container, remember to take them."

"Okay! Thank you, Sister Song. You and Brother Chu Hong are the best!" Wang Xingling thanked them in a soft and sweet voice, completely unaware that these two brothers and sisters she called the best had a total of eight hundred ulterior motives.

When all the supplies in the base were consumed.

Wang Xinghe, Wang Xingling, and that random passerby whose name Chu Hong hadn't even asked, all carried supplies worth two million energy points.

"Hahaha, this is great! The resources here in the core area are much better than what we eat in the wild, which is like scavenging garbage..." Wang Xinghe laughed heartily.

Taking these things out will earn you two hundred points in supplies!

If we can gather a thousand supplies to distribute before the assessment ends, my old man will look a little better.

"Sigh, it's a pity. The matchmaking for this assessment dungeon is completely random. I don't know if I'll have another chance to be matched with Brother Hong and you guys in the same game."

Wang Xinghe sighed.

Wang Xingling, the younger sister who had been jumping around happily, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Her cute and lively eyes would occasionally dart around and glance at Chu Hong behind her.

Her little face was still flushed.

Chu Hong, however, paid no attention to these things.

He was currently focused on the situation within the bureau.

The team blocking the evacuation point should still be at the [Ecological Observation Tower]. We haven't heard any fighting sounds coming from the evacuation point, so no one has gone to the regular evacuation point yet.

The squads at positions one and one at the Palino Valley Base were both taken out by them.

The Wang siblings were the second to arrive at the [Parino Valley Base].

"In other words, excluding us, there should be five other teams in the league right now..."

Chu Hong had already quickly planned the battle route in his mind.

"Jiao'er, Wang Suming, protect the boss..."

......

Huaxi Wharf

"Firepower him! Suppress him! Don't let him show himself!"

"Da da da!"

A torrent of bullets spewed from the machine gun muzzle, riddling the containers surrounding the [Huaxi Wharf] with holes. However, at this moment, the squad that had descended upon [Huaxi Wharf] was...

They dared not relax even for a moment.

A faint buzzing sound, like something flying close to the ground, suddenly came from the other side.

Holding a massive sword taller than a man, the captain, clad in heavy armor, suddenly tensed up.

"Drink! Unyielding Barrier!"

As he activated his defensive skill, a surge of energy instantly created an invisible energy shield around him.

[Flying Bird Drone] suddenly rises.

A golden apple suddenly exploded amidst a burst of intense red light.

"Hana-lai!"

"Da da da!"

The machine gun spat out bullets, relentlessly chasing and firing at Chu Hong from behind.

However, the speed at which the gun barrel turned could not keep up with Chu Hong's ghostly figure.

"Watch out, Ah Liang!"

"Ahhh!" Machine gunner A-Liang roared, but could only watch helplessly as Chu Hong turned around and came to his side.

One of the magic-side members of the team slapped his hands on the ground.

An earthen wall was about to rise up around Ah Liang.

however.

Faster than the earthen wall was a magnificent Western-style longsword.

"Pfft!"

"Ah Liang!!!"

The captain roared, so enraged that he no longer cared about protecting his teammate who had been seriously injured by Chu Hong's initial sniper shot. With a howl, he instantly raised his greatsword and charged towards Chu Hong like a fierce tiger.

Fifth stage of the Origin Realm!

With this level of skill, he would definitely not be an unknown figure among newcomers.

Wang Xinghe, who was hiding on the periphery and watching the whole scene, gasped in shock.

"This guy is Dou Jian from the Pinghu Sword Pavilion in Dongjiang Base City. His father is the owner of the Pinghu Sword Pavilion, a Core Condensation Realm expert who has a collection of red-quality swords as his source core! I never expected to run into him!"

Wang Suming had never heard of this person: "Is this guy named Dou Jian very strong?"

"Strong..." Wang Xinghe was about to nod solemnly when he suddenly saw the scene at [Huaxi Wharf] and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Holy crap!

With a loud "boom".

The speed at which Dou Jian, whom he called "very strong," rushed towards Chu Hong was matched by the speed at which he was kicked in the chest and sent flying backward.

A gunshot rang out.

The magic-side team members who were preparing to restrain Chu Hong in the distance suddenly had a burst of inspiration.

No one even saw clearly when he fired the shot, or even when he took out the gun.

In a flash of red light, the [Successor·SV-98] in his hand vanished in the blink of an eye.

Wang Xinghe couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

He opened his mouth wide, wanting to ask something, but looking at Chu Hong who was dominating the arena, he couldn't utter a word.

That was... a red-quality weapon?

And how come he can wield a red-quality weapon like someone in the Core Formation Realm when he's only at the Origin Realm?!

He was kicked hard to the ground once again.

Dou Jian, whose sword-wielding hand had been broken by Chu Hong, had his face covered in blood and sweat.

This is their first defeat since the start of the assessment!

But the first time, it ended in such a crushing defeat...

A full squad of five was wiped out by this one person in just a few minutes.

He was panting, staring at the dark muzzle of the pistol Chu Hong had raised in front of him.

"I'm Dou Jian from Dongjiang Base City. What's your name?"

"Huangshan Base City, Chu Hong!"

Upon hearing Chu Hong announce his home address, Dou Jian's lips curled into a slight smile, and he let out a long breath.

"Phew... With your strength, you must have applied to the Dragon Roar Holy Academy. It's not unjust that I lost to you this time, but it won't be like this next time."

Dou Jian calmly closed his eyes.

"Bang!"
