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

【Mythical Beast Research Laboratory】, second basement level.

Chu Hong placed one hand on the large shield.

Search results for "[Confidential Biomass Preservation Cabinet (High-Value Container)]": ...

Three things.

Two 1×2 squares, one 1×1 square.

As the search icon rotated, the first item quickly bloomed in purple light and appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

[Item Name]: Beast Elixir

[Item Level]: Purple

Value: 87,726

[Type]: Energy Source Material

【Weight】: 0.22kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×2

[Item Description]: This item is a liquid essence formed from the sparse source energy scattered within the body of a strange beast. It can gently nourish the body and slightly improve physical strength without strong side effects. It is a commonly used low-level source energy consumable in the early stages of cultivation.

Chu Hong's eyes lit up slightly.

Despite it being only a purple-quality item, it immediately brought a hint of joy to his face.

【Beast Elixir】is something that can rapidly enhance a user's source energy.

Wang Suming used two of them, and they did improve by two levels at the time.

However, it stopped working later.

"Perfect, Little Glutton hasn't used it yet..." Chu Hong murmured happily.

"Ding!"

A golden light shone.

Two small gold bars, [Dominator Black Thorn].

On the last item in the last slot, the search icon starts to rotate.

Chu Hong had actually given up hope and was preparing to unlock the card and enter the [Core Research Laboratory] after he finished exploring this large free insurance. However, the longer the search icon kept spinning, the more anticipation he felt.

"Wow, the drop rate is pretty good this round..."

Experience had taught him that the time of this search must be for red collectibles.

Including the [Fenrir's Flame Sac] he just got from the boss, Chu Hong now has two red items.

[Item Name]: Cobweb Brain-Computer Interface

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 478,116

[Type]: Electronic items

【Weight】: 1kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×1

[Item Description]: This is a neural interaction device developed by the Clifftop Epidemic Research Team to control experimental subjects and better synchronize the detection and extraction of experimental data. It can maximize the efficiency of the wearer's brain area while connecting to the project team's experimental units.

"Oh? It's a brain-computer interface!"

Chu Hong looked at the familiar collectible in his hand, which resembled a neckband-style headset, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

The [Cobweb Brain Machine] is absolutely the collectible that has provided him with the greatest assistance so far when he entered the secret realm, without exception.

The "perspective" and "God's-eye view" effect of the display case alone is enough to make Chu Hong's movements, whether running with his sword or fighting, clear.

It provided a huge intelligence advantage.

Now, in its place of origin, the Clifftop Plague Hospital, the physical Cobweb brain-computer interface possesses a function that has shocked everyone.

Wear the Cobweb brain-computer interface around your neck.

As a slight electric shock emanated from his neck, Chu Hong's mind immediately conjured up images of the other two remaining bosses in the arena.

The "Project No. Kraken" mother is located in the pool on the third basement level of the "Beast Research Laboratory," and the "Project No. Overlord" clone is still rampaging near the parking lot.

"come over....."

A seemingly innocuous signal, like a gentle whimper to a dog on the roadside, was sent to the [Project No. "Dominator" clone] with a thought from Chu Hong.

The boss, Sovereign, was originally in the parking lot, constantly searching for human presence.

His body jolted instantly, and then he roared and turned to rush towards the [Beast Research Laboratory].

This scene was witnessed by the team that had arrived at the north gate of the hospital at the start of the game and were searching the main hospital building.

"What the heck is wrong with this boss? Why did he suddenly run back?"

"Someone's gone into the [Beast Research Lab]! Quick, let's go check it out, maybe someone's shipping out their loot!"

Meanwhile, Luo Xin's team, which was near the [Underground Dissection Center], was also startled by this sudden change. The team members quickly scattered and formed a battle formation.

Just as the Boss was about to pass by them, it clearly lowered its head slightly, making a gesture as if it wanted to attack on the spot, but for some reason, it glided in mid-air.

It waved its dense, scarlet tentacles.

They rushed towards the [Beast Research Laboratory].

"Sister Xin, did the boss glance at us just now?"

"Now that it has seen us, why doesn't it attack?"

Everyone wore expressions of confusion.

However, even stronger than the doubt was the excitement and greed in their eyes when they looked at each other.

Generally speaking, if a boss in a secret realm suddenly rushes towards its original lair, it's either because it has discovered that someone has entered the core area and disturbed something very important to the boss.

Either... someone shipped out their goods over there!

Luo Xin immediately saw through their plan, and her face darkened.

"Stop with your little schemes. We're just a regular search team. The fact that an entire squad managed to clear the entire [Underground Anatomy Center] without any disturbance is already quite lucky. Let's retreat and start the next round!"

One person in the group couldn't help but curl his lip upon seeing this.

"Sister Xin, there are five of us, and we can't even gather five gold-quality collectibles. We're all stuck with a bunch of low-quality blue and low-quality purple ones. It's such a huge risk..."

Luo Xin frowned slightly, her eyes flashing with dissatisfaction.

"Risk? With me here, where do you get any risk? I think you are the biggest risk!"

"Don't forget, although I'm not a formal member of your team, your Captain He has given me the authority to be the captain of your squad. All actions within the secret realm must be under my command!"

Loxin warned.

However, the atmosphere within the group had clearly become somewhat delicate at this moment.

The group exchanged glances and then suddenly let out a sneer.

"Hey Luo Xin, we call you Sister Xin, you don't actually think you're our leader, do you? We were originally an assault team, and if our previous captain hadn't died in battle, do you think you'd have had the chance to team up with us?"

A man with black markings on his cheek below one eye crossed his arms and sneered.

"You stinky rat, you like to scavenge for trash, fine, but do you really think we're all stinky rats like you?"

Luo Xin's face darkened: "What are you doing? That person was extremely dangerous. Even all of you combined wouldn't be a match for him!"

"Tch..." Someone scoffed, but had already passed by Luo Xin and headed towards the [Beast Research Laboratory].

"You think you can just say you can't win? Besides..."

The man paused, turned slightly, and looked at Luo Xin, whose face was anxious and pale.

"You're only in this game to raise money for your good-for-nothing brother to pay off his debts. We're not like you; we're not going to just sit and watch when there's a big reward."

Just then.

A violent roar suddenly came from the direction of the [Beast Research Laboratory].

"roar--!"

The group was startled, but then the man in the lead, whose face was covered in patterns, was overjoyed.

"Quick! That kid's fighting the boss! Let's get there now, everything's ours!"

Luo Xin was extremely anxious.

"Wait! That person is extremely dangerous! You, you all, I'm the captain! If you don't follow my orders and die in the secret realm, even if it's your Captain He, it won't be my fault!"

However, no one paid any attention to her.

When the four members of the Black Mantis team arrived at the [Beast Research Laboratory] and silently crept down to the second basement level, they saw a colossal creature lying on the ground, seemingly dead.

The surrounding area was filled with scattered cages and crimson bone spikes from the boss.

The four exchanged a glance, then silently dispersed, slowly forming an encirclement around the boss.

Suddenly, the sound of sand and gravel falling to the ground came.

The group was startled and immediately looked warily in the direction from which the sound came. They saw the figure who had previously defeated the boss Fenrir standing up somewhat disheveled from the ruins beside a pile of load-bearing pillars.

The pupils of the group contracted slightly, but only for a moment.

"Go! Kill him!"
