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

"Enter the secret realm!"

Amidst the rustling sound of leaves in the wind, a cool breeze brushed against the necks of Chu Hong and his companions, causing the hairs on everyone's heads to stand on end.

Through the earpiece, the voices of Donald, Wang Suming, and Luo Xin came from the other end.

"Captain, we have landed at the landing point at the southwest entrance of the village."

Before everyone, a complete satellite map of Ghost Town suddenly appeared as soon as they had a thought.

This is a typical southern village with architectural style from the Republican era in Daxia's history, featuring white walls and black tiles, small bridges and flowing water, and densely packed courtyards, with a long street running through the middle that connects the entire village.

"There are seven landing points and five evacuation points, but only one of them, the [North Village River Estuary] regular evacuation point and the [River Islet] paid evacuation point, is guaranteed to allow direct evacuation. The remaining three are two conditional evacuation points and one is a random evacuation point."

Chu Hong muttered to himself, while Song Jiao'er and the others were once again speechless with shock at the extraordinary intelligence provided by the Special Operations Division.

Through the headset, Donald's wry smile, tinged with helplessness, came through.

"Such a detailed intelligence map... it seems my old man's experience is no longer of any use..."

When he was the captain of the Falcon Squad, he led his team into the real-world Ghost Town secret realm, hoping to make a difference as a senior member.

Please provide at least the routes to the following dungeons and the locations of high-value loot points.

Unexpectedly... this first-time entry into a secret realm map, just like maps such as [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] and [Clifftop Plague Hospital], gives you the entire map right at the start.

Chu Hong observed for a moment.

They immediately confirmed the landing point location of the three people on their side.

"We arrived at the [Nanhekou intersection], and heading north leads to the [riverside woodshed]."

Donald's voice came through the headset.

"As long as you don't get close to the [Ancient Shrine Stage], your area is considered an outer supply point, so there's not much danger. Oh, by the way, be careful by the river..."

Donald's words were not yet finished.

At that moment, Chu Hong's gaze suddenly fell on a wet, dark shadow that was slowly floating on the water.

His hair was disheveled, and it looked like he had a clump of seaweed on his head.

Under the cold moonlight, if accompanied by the sound effects of a horror movie, it would definitely send shivers down your spine.

Information about this monster appeared in Chu Hong's eyes.

[A collection of vengeful spirits - Water Ghost].

Before Chu Hong could even get a clear look at the other person's lower body, Song Jiao'er beside him gave a cold, low shout.

A sudden, deafening roar of thunder erupted.

"Lightning Magic: Lightning Rod!"

"Boom—!"

Chu Hong looked at the water column that shot into the sky, reaching a height of three or four meters, and the large number of corpses floating upside down, and immediately leaned back tactically.

Looking back, Song Jiao'er could still faintly see the lightning crackling on her wand.

A hint of excitement played at the corners of the latter's mouth.

At this moment, Chu Hong suddenly felt that Song Jiao'er, after merging with the [Eternal Essence], seemed to have undergone some remarkable change.

On the other side, Donald, who was leading Wang Suming into a house on one side of the landing point, immediately guessed what had happened when he heard the thunderous explosion coming from the east.

He gave a helpless, bitter laugh.

"Captain, in this supernatural secret realm, the monsters are mainly divided into two categories: ghosts and mutated corpses. Unfortunately, neither of these two types of monsters has much resistance to lightning."

The meaning is self-evident.

Now that her strength has greatly increased and she has mastered several lightning magic spells, Miss Song can completely dominate this ordinary-level secret realm...

Upon hearing this, Chu Hong simply went all out.

"I choose you! Thunderhorn Dragon!"

With a loud "roar", a roar was heard.

Hagiron descended upon the cold, dark mountain village amidst a crackling clap of thunder.

In the river, Song Jiao'er's lightning magic had successfully drawn out all the water ghosts hiding at the bottom of the river.

Looking at those figures with disheveled hair and deathly pale skin.

Without Chu Hong's prompting, the Hagi Dragon, which had just appeared and was frolicking around, immediately unleashed a terrifying burst of lightning from its thick horns.

"roar--!"

A dense barrage of lightning, like a carpet bombing, instantly enveloped the entire river surface.

"Snap! Snap! Snap..."

A pale white lightning bolt struck the moonlight reflected on the river's surface, creating ripples, accompanied by a series of piercing screams.

Those newly emerged [Resentful Spirit Aggregate - Water Ghost], whose average source energy aura was only at the fourth or fifth level of the Origin Realm, all turned into a sticky mass, like a mixture of seaweed and hair.

It was swept to the riverbank by the current.

Chu Hong curiously reached out his hand.

Searching for 【Ghostly Avatar - Water Ghost】: ......

A black box appears for searching.

Three 1x1, one 1x2... there's quite a lot of stuff.

However, when the search icons appeared one after another in the blink of an eye, what came into view were several white and green collectibles.

Two white candles, a piece of paper money, and a roll of floral fabric.

"Tsk..." Chu Hong didn't say anything.

To be honest, it's fortunate that our strength is no longer what it was when we first came into contact with source energy, otherwise... given this strange atmosphere and the variety of supplies we found.

The psychological terror of the ordinary-level [Ghost Town] is many times greater than that of the ordinary-level [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe].

After touching several [Ghostly Amalgamation Entities - Female Ghosts] in succession, Chu Hong found mostly similar needle-like or thread-like objects.

Most of them are household goods.

Chu Hong immediately decided to head directly towards the [Ancient Shrine Stage] to see what kind of boss this secret realm boss was, and also to clear the level as soon as possible to unlock the confidential secret realm conditions.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In the oppressive, narrow alleyway with its white walls and black roofs, a dozen emaciated, stiff, and slow-moving humanoid monsters were moving unconsciously, taking one step at a time.

They stood blocking the gate of the local militia.

Donald pulled out something that looked like a hand grenade and threw it directly into the container.

"Snapped!"

A violent arc of electricity, accompanied by a slight explosion, instantly enveloped several [villainous corpses].

Behind Donald, Loxin held a pistol with a silencer.

Instantaneous and precise firing.

After a few shots of "biubiubiu", the bots were all eliminated.

The three entered the [Village Militia]. As soon as they entered, they saw a figure in the main hall, dressed in a blue military uniform and wearing a military overcoat, looking like an officer, holding a rifle with a bayonet.

He glared angrily and menacingly at the people who rushed in.

A line of information appeared before their eyes.

【Alienated Ghost Soldiers】.

"roar--!"

With a sharp whistle, the latter instantly charged towards the group like a sharp sword, wielding a spear and bayonet.

In that instant, a large number of corpses dressed in blue military uniforms rushed out from the houses all around.

Wang Suming's eyes widened, and the [Ghoul Iron Wall] in his hand emitted a terrifying and sharp ghostly howl in the next second.

One hand was already on the pocket at his waist containing incendiary bombs.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

As Chu Hong and his companions approached the woodshed by the river, they encountered yet another completely new type of monster...
