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

[Riverside woodshed].

Several low wooden houses, with doors either closed or half-open.

The light was dim, and the moonlight from outside couldn't penetrate the interior at all.

Song Jiao'er was about to go in to see if there were any containers she could search for when Chu Hong reached out and stopped her.

Chu Hong didn't speak, but Hajilong behind him understood instantly.

With a roar.

With a powerful swing of its nearly ten-meter-long body, its terrifyingly thick tail, wrapped in a bluish-green color and occasionally flashing with a faint arc of electricity, resembled a demolition sledgehammer.

With a loud "BOOM!"

The wooden house in front of them, with its door tightly shut, suddenly exploded and collapsed, causing strong dissatisfaction among the "residents" inside.

"roar!"

The roof of the wooden house was smashed, and moonlight shone down, revealing two coffins without lids.

One of them contained the stiff, bluish-purple corpse of a woman.

The other coffin, however, was completely empty.

"Oh~ he's quite the romantic~"

Chu Hong smiled faintly, his right eye flashing red light [Cliff Young's Scarlet Eye], preventing the hideous zombie in front of him, dressed in a burial shroud and with a long whip wrapped around its neck, from getting any closer.

In the instant the latter was like a wild beast, leaping through the air.

[Biochemical Inhibition 93R] had already appeared in Chu Hong's hands.

"Da da da!"

Three gunshots rang out.

The monster with the "Vampire Zombie" information above its head was instantly struck as if by lightning and crashed heavily to the ground.

Under Chu Hong's deliberate control of the energy input.

The moment the vampire appeared, Chu Hong broke both its legs and opened a large hole in its chest.

But he did not die on the spot after falling to the ground.

"It's an elite monster. If it were just an ordinary bot, no matter where I hit it with one bullet, the energy would be enough to blow it up on the spot..." Chu Hong said calmly.

And the next second.

From the other two intact woodsheds, several more ferocious male and female figures with fangs rushed out instantly.

[Ordinary Zombie]

Unlike the Vampire Zombies, whose limbs can still bend slightly and who can even pounce, these zombies, having just smashed through the wooden door and rushed out, had stiff bodies and reaction speeds that were even slower than those of ordinary Clifftop Plague Hospital zombies.

Chu Hong shook his head slightly.

Xu Daili had already made her move, wielding two women's pistols and firing simultaneously.

After observing the struggling elite monster [Vampire Zombie] on the ground for a moment, Song Jiao'er waved her magic wand, and a flame instantly engulfed the latter.

Search for "vampire zombie": ...

Chu Hong looked at the black box in front of him for searching.

Even in a normal-level secret realm, elite monsters won't drop ordinary white and green collectibles like the ordinary human monsters before, right?

As he thought this, the outlines of three items appeared in the search box in front of him.

A 1x2 grid of two squares.

A 1x3 three-square grid.

Then there's another 1x2 two-square grid.

The search icon starts spinning.

A blue light shone, and something resembling a book appeared.

The first two items left Chu Hong slightly disappointed.

however.

As the search icon for the third item spun for longer and longer, Chu Hong's eyes gradually became serious.

"Ding!"

Golden light burst forth!

The first little gold item has appeared in Ghost Town!

[Item Name]: Yellow Springs Reagent Type I

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 107,120

[Type]: Energy Source Material

【Weight】: 0.2kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×2

[Item Description]: Father Fisher's initial research achievement, created by blending "devil reagent" brought from the West with a special extraction solution from the local Yin Spring in the back mountains. It did indeed grant Fisher's long-cherished wish for immortality, but it undeniably turned humans into monsters.

Chu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly. The black reagent in his hand, sealed in a glass tube, was sticky and resembled kerosene. It seemed to be one of the important items in the background story of the origin of this secret realm, Ghost Town.

"It's all for immortality again..." Chu Hong pursed his lips.

Previously, the Palino Bio Group of [Primitive Valley No. 1] was also researching immortality.

However, Palino Bio Group focuses on biological and genetic research on the technological side, while Father Fisher, the instigator of the ghost town's rampant ghosts, is engaged in research on the paranormal side.

"Captain, come quick! There's something in this corpse's mouth..."

Xu Daili's voice came through.

Chu Hong walked into the woodshed, whose roof had been blown off by Hagi Dragon's tail.

At this moment, Xu Daili was standing next to a coffin, inside which lay a stiff, bluish-purple female corpse, presumably the wife of the elite monster [Vampire Zombie] from earlier.

Chu Hong's gaze, however, was fixed on the other person's mouth, deep in their throat.

There really seems to be something there.

He glanced at Xu Daili with a strange look. Such a tricky angle, let alone Chu Hong, probably no one in the real secret realm outside would have noticed that the mouth of this "image" female corpse was actually an "open-air resource refresh point".

He took a deep breath.

Ask him to reach in and grab it? He can't do that.

[Savage] A hand axe suddenly appeared, with a snap.

Chu Hong then cleaved the female corpse's head open at the jawbone.

The horrifying scene caused Xu Daili to back away in disgust, while Chu Hong reached out and grabbed the deep purple gemstone bead in his hand.

The gemstone is a deep purple color and looks quite ordinary.

however.

When Chu Hong picked it up and held it up to the moonlight, the originally deep purple gem strangely revealed a sinister vertical pupil, just like... the eye of a demon?

A flash of red light, and Chu Hong's pupils contracted slightly.

Information about the gemstone immediately appeared before Chu Hong's eyes.

"Holy crap! This is worth tens of millions of energy points?!"
