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

The 1×3 item search begins.

Purple item.

[Item Name]: Exquisite Belt

[Item Level]: Purple

Value: 91,000

[Type]: Home Furnishings

【Weight】: 0.6kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×3

[Item Description]: This belt is made of high-quality genuine leather, which is extremely durable and tough. Its cool and hard color is loved by many men.

Nothing special.

Chu Hong's full attention finally fell on the last item within the black frame.

That thing that takes up the largest space!

To this end, he even casually grabbed a backpack from the corpse of a nearby soldier named Palino.

The search icon rotates.

"A 4x5 truck, could it be some kind of super bright red one?"

Chu Hong felt a mixture of anticipation and unease. If he was careful when shipping the goods now, he should be able to get them out of the country.

but.

Soon, golden light burst forth before Chu Hong's eyes, amidst a hint of disappointment.

It's not the kind of big red collectible you might imagine.

A black trench coat-style combat uniform appeared before Chu Hong's eyes.

[Item Name]: Palino Police Unit No. 008 Combat Suit

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 710,662

[Type]: Weapons and Equipment

【Weight】: 2.6kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 4×5

[Item Description]: Its cut is as elegant as a bespoke suit, yet it conceals a secret capable of rewriting the course of battle. The outer layer is a high-grade matte wool blend, discreetly blending into any environment; the inner layer is a composite of sixteen layers of silicon carbide and Kevlar fibers, providing ballistic protection comparable to level four armor while maintaining ultimate flexibility. Precise three-dimensional tailoring and concealed tactical pockets ensure that every tactical movement is crisp, clean, and undetectable.

A gold-quality bulletproof windbreaker?

Chu Hong's eyes lit up slightly. In order to save money, he handed over all his gold-quality armor, and even the equipment that would be dropped upon death, such as the Lost Knight's Relic Longsword, to his teammates Wang Suming and the others to help carry it out.

Besides the weapons [Bio-Suppression 93R] and [Successor SV-98] that won't drop, he currently only has two sets of matching bullets.

He even handed over the [Ω potent stimulant injection] to Wang Suming and the others, who then took it out.

Without hesitation, he put the combat uniform on.

Despite losing the jet propulsion capability of the [Force Field Mining Armor 1.0], Chu Hong clearly felt that his movements were more agile and unrestricted.

"roar--!"

A furious roar suddenly came from the Palino Valley Base on the mountain.

Chu Hong sensed it and was surprised to find that, at some point, the boss and that bitch Smith Molly had already left from [Huaxi Wharf].

It looks like they went to the [Parino Valley Base] at the top of the mountain.

The grand sound, which resounded throughout the entire secret realm, entered Chu Hong's ears like a broadcast.

"Damn Palino! Damn fat pig!"

That's Molly's voice.

"Even on the verge of death, he dares to take away the [Eternal Essence]! Damn capitalist! Greedy and shameless bastard!"

After this benchmark mission ended, there were still other plot developments?

Upon hearing the shout, Chu Hong swiftly summoned [Ke Xiaoken] underwater, and like a fast-moving fish, it silently rushed towards the regular evacuation point.

"Looks like that bitch's target is the stuff in Research Lab Two. No wonder the benchmark mission didn't mention the key room as a reward..."

Chu Hong suddenly recalled the mind-blowing images he had seen on the computer in the Vincent's Secret Safe House, and felt a wave of nausea and disgust.

Meanwhile, inside the main building of the [Parino Valley Base].

Just as Wu Gang's team finished their excited search of the top floor and came downstairs, they saw Smith Molly, who was leading a team of mutated monkeys and gorillas, standing angrily at the entrance of the [Research Lab No. 2].

Wu Gang and the others were still wondering.

Why is this different from the previous times?

The first few times, this NPC would enter the laboratory, and then the outside would be guarded by mutated monkeys, preventing even those who had accepted the mission from entering.

This time... why is the door open?

While Wu Gang and Liu Yanyan were still wondering, Smith Molly, whose body and face were still covered in disgusting slime and blood, suddenly turned her head and glared at them like a madwoman.

"Damn bastards! Did you guys open this place while the chaos was at it?!"

"Hand over the items!"

The mutated monkeys around them instantly pointed their dark gun barrels densely at Wu Gang and his companions.

The latter group's expressions changed drastically.

"Boss Wu, what's going on here?"

"Holy crap! Is this woman crazy? This is the benchmark mission we accepted!"

"What should we do, Brother Gang..."

Everyone immediately tensed up and tightened their formation, with Liu Yanyan being protected by several people in the middle at the very first moment.

Seeing this, Bitch Molly seemed to instantly understand something.

"The thing is on this bitch! Kill them!"

The change was too sudden!

One second they were the benchmark NPCs who were "workers" and "mercenaries" to them, and the next second they were all "red names" and intense gunfire rang out from all directions.

"Da da da!"

An energy barrier was erected by the two people at the very front of the group.

"Hurry, sister-in-law! Take the things out with you, the company president will definitely reward us!"

They didn't understand the situation, but it was clear that the other side wouldn't give them a chance to explain. Wu Gang's team members all wished they could tear this bitch NPC to pieces on the spot.

But the most important task now is to escort Da Hong out of the secret realm!

That's right!

This time, after they reached the top floor, just as Wu Gang had said at the beginning, they encountered a newly refreshed big red!

Wu Gang roared.

The moment his comrade set up the defense, he removed the rocket launcher from behind.

With a loud "boom".

In an instant, the mutated monkeys at the main entrance were blasted into scattered positions.

"Walk!"

With Wu Gang providing cover, Liu Yanyan instantly unleashed her energy and rushed towards the outside of the base.

Two team members were holding off the hysterical NPC Molly from behind.

The remaining team member, along with Wu Gang, was armed with a sniper rifle and a machine gun, respectively.

They opened fire wildly.

"Da da da!"

The loud gunfire and explosions made Chu Hong pause just as he was about to reach the designated evacuation point.

They lurked in the river water in front of the evacuation point.

Peek out slightly.

Upon seeing the direction of the base, several disheveled figures rushed out. The two who were covering the rear were instantly smashed into mincemeat by the boss giant ape with a single slap the moment he looked over.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Why is this boss attacking the person who accepted the benchmark quest?"

The same question had just arisen in Chu Hong's mind.

His keen eyesight allowed him to suddenly spot the two figures running at the very front.

Liu Yanyan... and Wu Gang?!

Chu Hong couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two men fleeing in his direction in a disheveled state.

What is this?

What a small world!

Or is it... a deep bond between classmates?

"Running so fast, and someone even volunteered to cover the rear... Yan Yan, aren't you testing our friendship? How can I withstand such a test?"

Chu Hong wore a mocking yet cold smile.

Its body moved silently and stealthily towards the bottom of the river.

The source energy and physical qualities of the seventh stage of the Origin Realm.

This also allowed him to hold his breath underwater for a much longer time than others.

With the help of [Ke Xiaoken] underwater.

Chu Hong was like a sunken reef, hidden among the dim water plants.

Two figures swimming rapidly underwater soon appeared before him, clearly perceived by him.

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry up! The evacuation point is just ahead once we reach the shore!"

Liu Yanyan held her breath.

On the one hand, he was mentally preparing himself for the future.

Her body moved swiftly, and she seemed to see herself and Wu Gang together, being praised, rewarded, and given strength by the club president...

suddenly!

Her expression suddenly changed drastically.

The president didn't see it.

From the dim water plants beneath them, a pitch-black "water ghost" suddenly burst forth...

"Ugh!!!"
