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

"Is this the Energy Gathering Realm...?"

Chu Hong murmured to himself, clearly feeling that his previously depleted source energy was now naturally recovering at a speed he had never experienced before.

Despite being at the second stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, his maximum source energy limit is two to three times higher than when he was still at the Origin Awakening Realm.

However, the speed at which the source energy is now recovering is several times faster than when it was at the ninth stage of the Origin Realm.

"I'm not sure about the outside world, but it seems that in the secret realm, it only takes about five or six minutes for the source energy to be fully restored naturally." Chu Hong sensed it.

I already have a rough estimate in mind.

Naturally regenerated energy is not as fast as directly using items or activating the special ability [Slaughter Overlord].

However, it also lacks the stinging sensation all over the body that occurs during the radical recovery of source energy.

Chu Hong placed one hand on the boss Fenrir's head.

Searching for the parent entity of project number "Fenrir": ...

一个1×2的两格，两个1×1的单格，一个2×3的六格。

Having achieved his main objective of entering the map, Chu Hong was no longer tense. He had cleared out nearly 90% of the zombies in the entire secret realm.

Next, you can safely loot the land and then leave.

The search icon rotates.

With a ding, a purple light burst forth.

The familiar item is [Beast Elixir (Purple)], but unfortunately it's no longer of any use.

Whether it was him, or Wang Suming and Song Jiao'er, they had all already used it.

Using it again had absolutely no effect.

"Perhaps it can be left to the newcomers in the team in the future..." Chu Hong murmured, but now that the [Clifftop Plague Hospital] has been connected to the central area teleportation system, the number of people entering the secret realm for development will only increase in the future.

This kind of thing should be available on the market soon.

Ding!

Golden light shone forth.

[Item Name]: Fenrir's Fang

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 71,999

[Type]: Energy Source Material

【Weight】: 0.4kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×1

[Item Description]: A wolf tooth of the beast Fenrir. Due to Fenrir's ability to breathe high-temperature flames, its wolf tooth has extremely high research and modification value.

Chu Hong raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the extra wolf tooth in his hand, complete with black flame patterns, and then looked at Fenrir beneath him, whose mouthful of wolf teeth had been chopped off by his [Savage] hand axe, leaving him bloodied and with his eyes wide open in death.

This is a secret place!

The second item was also quickly generated.

A burst of golden light revealed yet another [Fenrir's Wolf Fang].

The tooth extraction surgery appears to have been very successful...

When it came to the last item, a 2x3 shape, Chu Hong couldn't help but start guessing as soon as the icon began to spin.

In my memory, it seems that a six-square grid of two by three appeared on Fenrir.

It looks like a large gold bar of Fenrir ingredients.

In the Special Operations Division's kitchen, Chu Hong has yet to encounter an opponent for whom he would be willing to eat the previously unlocked recipes, Kraken Stew and Braised Wolf Ribs.

Ding!

Golden light shone forth.

Just as Chu Hong had guessed, a whole dark red steak, full of lean meat, appeared in front of him.

[Item Name]: Fenrir Row

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 361,851

[Type]: Energy Source Material

【Weight】: 20kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 2×3

[Item Description]: A high-grade ingredient with extremely high nutritional and energy value, cut from the body of the beast Fenrir, requiring very high cooking skills.

Chu Hong took a deep breath.

In just a short while, the body's previously depleted energy source had recovered about 30%.

But the persistent stinging sensation caused by the intense fighting still inevitably surged throughout his body the moment he stood up.

"Hiss... Damn it! Can't I use Purple Gauze? After using Purple Gauze, I can use the [Mother of the Forest] display case effect, which should be able to end this negative debuff, right?"

Chu Hong gasped, but ultimately decided not to use his precious chance of rebirth on something like "purifying negative states."

It's not worth it.

This is, after all, a real-world secret realm.

He staggered, stepping over the corpses of zombies, until he reached another boss, the clone of Project No. "Overlord".

The latter's situation is even worse than Fenrir's.

Not only was she "scaled" and "opened up" by Chu Hong, but she was also brutally subjected to a complete "dental surgery".

Search for the clone with the item number "Overlord": ...

A 1x1 cell... gone!

"Damn it! I didn't teach you a lesson enough!" Chu Hong cursed.

This huge boss only has one thing on him, and it's a single, damn-damn item!

Are you kidding me?!

As the search icon began to spin, Chu Hong's gaze shifted with the icon's movement, from initial dissatisfaction to growing seriousness, and finally, his eyes shining.

Ding!

A crimson light burst forth!

A familiar object, resembling a neckband headset, suddenly appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

【Cobweb Brain-Computer Interaction】!

Cool!

Chu Hong was overjoyed!

Over the past few days, while accompanying Song Jiao'er and the others on their missions, Chu Hong has already collected two extra [Cobweb Brain Machines] in the secret realm. He only needs one more to upgrade this big red display case to level 2.

"Haha, not bad, not bad. I'll go easy on you next time."

Chu Hong then began searching through the pile of corpses below for the bodies of several mutated zombies.

The battle just now was very volatile.

The mutated zombies that might not have been able to be drawn up from underground in the past were all thrown into this strangulation of him.

Mutant Zombie [Shadow Barbie], Mutant Zombie [Bio-Barbie], Mutant Zombie [Bloodthirsty Butcher].

[Shadow Barbie]'s head was blown apart at close range by [Inheritor·SV-98], but fortunately, Chu Hong still remembered the latter's sexy legs very clearly.

Soon, amidst a pile of zombies, they spotted a straight, stiff thigh in stockings, standing there like a flagpole.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that pose... Thank you [Clifftop Plague Hospital]."

Search for 【Shadow Barbie】: ......

一个1×1的单格，一个1×2的两格，换一个1×1的单格。

There are three items in total, arranged in a very stylish manner.

The first item is transferred out.

[Item Name]: Sharp Surgical Knife

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 62,000

[Type]: Medical Device

【Weight】: 0.19kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×1

[Item Description]: A medical-grade scalpel made of high-precision synthetic metal, extremely sharp and with excellent corrosion resistance.

The search icon on the second item starts spinning.

1 second, 3 seconds, 5 seconds...

Chu Hong straightened his body slightly and widened his eyes.

"It seems like [Shadow Barbie] hasn't had any red-quality collectibles appear on her yet..."

In Chu Hong's memory, the only high-value collectible in the two slots is the figurine [Ba Xiaoying].

But the time it takes to spin clearly indicates it's a red-quality collectible...

Just as Chu Hong was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a red light burst forth...
