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

"Boom—!"

[Beast Research Laboratory] There's such a big commotion here.

When Jiang Xingdong and Lan Yujing arrived with Song Jiao'er and Wang Suming, who were worried about Chu Hong, they were shocked to see that Chu Hong was strolling around leisurely.

Holding a tactical hand axe.

Facing the tentacles swung by the boss Kraken, the creature moved with the fluidity of an eel, slashing and slashing amidst the dense attacks...

Boss Kraken has a large number of tentacles, and once severed, they can quickly regenerate and grow back in a short period of time.

however.

This technique, which would be quite troublesome for others, was completely outmatched by the speed at which Chu Hong swung his battle axe.

Chu Hong's right eye glowed faintly red as he moved about, his propulsion device on his back occasionally blasting air.

Octopus tentacles, each thicker than a human waist, were severed and smashed to the ground.

A scarlet arc of light was already flashing on the axe in Chu Hong's hand.

The group of people stared in disbelief.

Suddenly, a golden apple appeared in Chu Hong's hand, and just as the boss Kraken was about to escape back to the nutrient pool, he shoved it into the boss's mouth.

Boss Kraken showed obvious panic, but with only one or two tentacles left, it was too late to pull the thing out of his body.

"Boom—!"

Thus, all three legendary bosses of the top-secret secret realm [Clifftop Plague Hospital] died at the hands of Chu Hong alone.

"As expected, what do you mean by immortality? It's just that their strength isn't enough. Cut off all the tentacles, and their growth genes won't get the energy supply. They'll still die from this explosion..."

Looking at the boss, Sovereign, and Kraken, their enormous bodies floating in the nutrient pool, Chu Hong was quite satisfied with the current methods and preparations.

He is now.

Killing the boss Kraken no longer requires accepting the benchmark mission "Operation Overlord" or using the gas chamber for a "scripted kill" or farming the "Underground Cryogenics Key" for a paid kill.

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Chu Hong smiled and waved.

"Lord City Lord, what brings you here? Have you finished eating at the [Rehabilitation and Recovery Center]?"

Jiang Xingdong didn't speak, he just stared at Chu Hong in shock, speechless.

This strength and combat power... it seems that even if you become his student, he doesn't have much to teach you, right?

Jiang Xingdong was somewhat disappointed.

To encounter such a perfect piece of raw jade and not be able to carve it out would be the greatest loss in life.

Lan Yujing was even more shocked.

When they came down from the second basement level to the third floor, they saw the four gruesome corpses, but they didn't criticize Chu Hong for his brutal killings.

"You actually wiped out a team and killed three bosses in such a short time?!"

"You...you're really at the ninth level of the Origin Realm?"

Lan Yujing, who could be considered a favored daughter of heaven, felt a deep sense of defeat in Chu Hong at this moment.

On the other hand, it was Song Jiao'er and Wang Suming standing to the side.

It's actually easier to feel that way.

Although Chu Hong's combat strength was much stronger than when he was in the assessment secret realm.

But... they've become numb.

However, some of them are under immense pressure, and sooner or later Chu Hong will leave them behind, or even... Chu Hong could have left them behind long ago.

Chu Hong didn't care about their reactions; he had seen far too many people with such shocked expressions.

He waved to Song Jiao'er.

Chu Hong pointed to the two boss corpses floating in the nutrient pool.

"Jiao'er, come here, touch these two bosses."

"Huh? Me, shall I touch it?"

Song Jiao'er was stunned for a moment, but seeing Chu Hong's confident expression, which even made her feel quite pressured by his expectation, she pursed her lips and walked to the side of the boss's corpse.

Jiang Xingdong then approached Chu Hong.

"You can act on your own from now on, but please be careful to stay safe."

He didn't press Chu Hong about how he managed to become so strong.

Everyone has their own secrets.

"Also... after you go back today, stay at the City Lord's Mansion for the night. You should prepare to advance to the Energy Gathering Realm."

Jiang Xingdong sighed inwardly; this was perhaps the only way he could help Chu Hong at the moment.

however.

Just then, Song Jiao'er let out a gasp.

This startled the group of people.

Turning my head, I saw the latter excitedly holding a silver-white box with a futuristic feel. Inside the box, a deep blue spherical crystal that seemed to contain an entire universe was being sealed.

The pupils of all of them contracted sharply.

Jiang Xingdong, in particular, stared wide-eyed.

"This, this is, super bright red!?"

Chu Hong recognized it at first glance: the Heart of the Ruler!

This is Chu Hong's third [Heart of Domination]!

The first one was used in the [Martial Arts Training Room] and became the first generation of superpower [Slaughter Overlord]. The second one is still in the [Big Red Collection Room].

Chu Hong gasped slightly.

He was just trying his luck with metaphysics, after all, he had the experience of Song Jiao'er getting the [Eternal Flower] before.

But he really didn't expect that the other party would be unable to find the big red one!

Another nine squares...

"Now both Fenrir's Flame Sac and the level 1 showcase effect of Dominator's Heart can be activated..." Chu Hong murmured to himself, full of anticipation.

When Song Jiao'er excitedly brought the things to him...

He didn't stand on ceremony at all and simply reached out and put the items into his backpack.

Lan Yujing opened her mouth as if to say something, but was stopped by a look from Jiang Xingdong.

According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, all newly produced red-quality collectibles in the secret realm must be handed over to the Upper City Base City, which will provide additional compensation.

However, Jiang Xingdong still chose to respect Chu Hong's idea.

In any case, his position as city lord will soon be gone, and Huangshan Base City is no longer the original [Qianchongzhai Base City], but is now directly under the jurisdiction of [Xialong Base City].

The interesting thing is that the portal hasn't been built yet.

Therefore... Huangshan base city currently does not have an upper city base city.

Jiang Xingdong gave Chu Hong a reassuring look, which warmed Chu Hong's heart. This feeling of being deliberately protected was definitely beyond what a city lord would do to promote a rising star.

Song Jiao'er then reached out with anticipation to touch the corpse of another boss, Kraken.

however.

This time, it didn't become the huge hit I had imagined.

There were only a few scattered purple spots and a small gold one.

[Item Name]: Kraken Mouthparts and Teeth

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 80,925

[Type]: Energy Source Material

【Weight】: 1.3kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×1

[Item Description]: On one of the Kraken's tentacles, there are at least a hundred mouthparts for gnawing at prey. Each mouthpart contains seven to eight sharp teeth, which are an indispensable means for it to hunt.

Song Jiao'er was somewhat disappointed.

After a brief search of the [Beast Research Laboratory], the group headed towards the [Main Hospital Building] and the [Parking Lot] area in the south district.

Their main objective was to help Song Jiao'er and Wang Suming improve their source energy level through battles in the secret realm.

With Chu Hong having defeated the three bosses and Jiang Xingdong and the others providing protection, the situation became clear.

The number of zombies in the secret realm is still enormous.

However, it won't cause too much trouble for Song Jiao'er and the others.

Staff Dormitory

Because it was too close to the zombie horde, this place had never been set foot in by the settlers from the beginning. As a result, even though the zombies in the corridors of the [staff dormitory] had been attracted out.

But at this moment, none of the supplies and containers in the building have been searched.

This is perfect for Chu Hong.

Start searching from the first floor; actually, there's not much worth paying attention to on the first floor.

However, there's a chance to refresh the room card on the table in room 108.

A card came into view.

[Item Name]: Employee ID Card

[Item Level]: Blue

Value: 69,555

[Type]: Identity credential

【Weight】: 0.05kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×1

[Item Description]: Access control for opening rooms 102, 107, and 209 of the staff dormitory.

【Durability】：20/20

[Location of Use]: Clifftop Epidemic Hospital - Staff Dormitory

A look of disappointment flashed in Chu Hong's eyes; it was actually this blue card.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this thing can open three rooms, but... in rooms 102 and 107, supplies only spawn on the ground and tables, and Chu Hong has yet to see any red-level collectibles.

Room 209, however, will have a small exemption from security.

However... Chu Hong never actually sold any items from it. Therefore, even when running a running game, Chu Hong would only open or not open this card depending on the situation.

Go straight upstairs.

The large free room in the [Employee Dormitory] is in Room 210. Chu Hong remembers this very clearly, because the first time he touched it, he found the [Masked Worm], a disguise artifact, inside.

Entering room 210, I crouched down and reached under the bed to turn the combination on the safe.
