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

The Hand of Heresy is priced at 300 million, and such a thing has never even appeared in reality. It is a large red collectible that only appears in the Underground Material Storage Room.

Putting aside everyone else, Chu Hong was also very much looking forward to seeing how this thing would look in its display case.

Accompanied by the [Hand of Heresy] in his hand, it transformed into a stream of light and merged into the display case.

[Collectible]: The Hand of Heresy and Evil Thoughts

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Summons an undetectable "Hand of Evil Thoughts" within a 15-meter radius around the user.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 500 million Source Energy Points, [Hand of Heresy] *3

Chu Hong: "..."

Everyone: "......."

"Why are you all staring at me like that? Is this what I want?! Didn't you hear the clattering of keyboards and that weird laughing? It's not me! This isn't what I want!"

Chu Hong's face flushed red as he tried his best to explain himself.

however.

At that moment, no one present could understand what this guy was saying.

All anyone could see was CS, whose face was flushed with excitement because he had opened up a "new world"...

Luo Yi subtly pulled his younger sister, Luo Xin, aside, choosing to keep her distance from the captain.

On the other hand, Fatty Wang Suming stood in front of the display case, his face full of envy and emotion.

He even smacked his lips.

It's such a shame... how come there were such amazing collectibles and you didn't tell me sooner?!

"Hey! Captain, what are you doing?!"

A scream startled everyone, including Chu Hong.

Xu Daili's pretty face flushed red, she covered her hands behind her back, and glared at Chu Hong with a mixture of shyness and anger, her eyes even glistening with tears.

"Captain, how could you do this? You have a girlfriend!"

Chu Hong: "!!!???"

When Chu Hong saw Song Jiao'er turn her head and gave him a dangerous look, he truly panicked.

"Damn it! Xu Daili, don't you dare slander people like that! Doesn't a boy's innocence count as innocence?!"

"Jiao'er, don't believe her. This woman is mentally ill. She's deliberately trying to mess with me. She..."

"Ugh~" Xu Daili's legs suddenly trembled, and under Chu Hong's dumbfounded gaze, as if the sky had collapsed, her body went limp and she knelt on the ground.

(Crackling sounds...Give it to me...)

Song Jiao'er frowned slightly. She knew that Chu Hong was audacious, and his wicked ideas in that area were almost on par with hers, but... weren't those just their private play?

Now even Xu Daili has been included.

This doesn't seem like an act...

Meanwhile, the rest of the group quickly walked out of the [Crimson Collection Room], with Luo Yi even covering his younger sister Luo Xin's eyes.

This combination of two yaoi fans and a beast can't be allowed to taint his adorable sister...

Seeing Xu Daili's pretty face flushed red, but her eyes were full of mockery, and she winked at him from an angle that Song Jiao'er couldn't see, Chu Hong gasped.

(King Gigi's Grand Military Review)

Chu Hong, his hand trembling with excitement, pointed at the other woman: "Jiao'er, look! She's faking it! She's faking it! She even winked at me, she winked!"

Song Jiao'er turned around and saw Xu Daili, whose expression made even herself blush.

Chu Hong: "..."

A few minutes later.

Looking at the deserted Special Operations Division, Chu Hong stood in front of the operations department with a heart full of despair.

"Brother Tongzi, why didn't you help me just now?" Chu Hong was almost in tears. He never thought that he, a hooligan, would be so helpless.

[Ding! Host intelligence is being reassessed... Paramecium level!]

Chu Hong: "..."

[Hint! There were two people of the opposite sex in front of you, but your "Hand of Heresy" display case can only summon one hand at a time.]

[True Paramecium Chu Hong]: "......"

Chu Hong, who had originally planned to explore other secret realms in the [Limited-Time Challenge Mode] with the others, stood expressionless in front of the light screen.

He secretly vowed to make Xu Daili pay the price... a price that would cut to the bone!

[Hell-level - Clifftop Plague Hospital]

The 200W power source points have been crossed out.

"Entering the [Hell-Level Clifftop Plague Hospital]!"

The dark, putrid stench completely enveloped Chu Hong the moment he gave the order.

The surrounding air seemed to have turned into a sticky, gelatinous substance.

The moment Chu Hong entered the secret realm, he immediately sensed the extreme and hostile atmosphere emanating from the hellish [Clifftop Plague Hospital]...

The eyes seemed to have lost their function at this moment.

[Cobweb Brain-Computer Interface] Showcase Effect, Activated!

An invisible force, like radar waves, instantly unfolded centered on Chu Hong.

The scene within a kilometer radius finally appeared in his mind in a strange way.

Landing point! Near the parking lot.

[South Gate of the Hospital]!

However, to Chu Hong's astonishment, there were not a single zombie in sight, even though he had imagined there would be hordes of them. The entire parking lot and even the West Helipad area were devoid of any trace of monsters!

Before Chu Hong could figure out what was going on...

A red light suddenly appeared in front of me as a notification.

"Beep beep beep!"

"Ω virus invasion! Please inject the [Ω virus blocker] immediately! Time remaining until mutation: 4:59"

"Warning! Anyone who undergoes this mutation will be automatically declared dead!"

Chu Hong's pupils suddenly contracted!

Is this even possible?!

His gaze fell on an icon with a biohazard virus symbol on the light screen in front of him.

[Ω Virus Infection]: A brand new Ω virus that has undergone hundreds of mutations and evolutions. It can be transmitted through respiration, skin, and energy sources. [Ω Virus Blocker] can be used to reduce this negative effect.

"One [Omega Virus Blocker]... slows down the mutation by 30 seconds?! Are you drinking a needle like it's a beverage?!"

Chu Hong's face instantly darkened.

Although the so-called "Ω virus blocker" is just a blue-quality medicine.

However, a single injection can only alleviate the negative effects for 30 seconds, a condition that is absolutely fatal in combat.

However, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

Looking at the information in the information panel that the Ω virus could spread through source energy, I suddenly felt a pang in my heart.

[Ghost Peach] lv2 display case effect activated!

It felt like I had swallowed something icy cold in my stomach in an instant, almost instantly.

The previously bright red negative status bar in front of me was instantly cleared away.

"As expected! This new Omega virus in the [Hell-level Clifftop Plague Hospital] is also an energy-type invasive disease. But this is a bit troublesome. Does this mean that from now on, only I can enter this Hell-level Clifftop Plague Hospital?"

Chu Hong sighed inwardly.

Since it can spread through source energy, it's highly likely that using skills within this secret realm, which consume source energy, will also increase the time it takes to become infected and mutated...

He stepped into the secret realm map.

The [Source Energy Space] is still disabled, which saves Chu Hong the trouble of trying to find the parking lot.

As he walked, the deathly silence around him gave Chu Hong a vague sense of unease.

We walked past the parking lot.

The further Chu Hong walked, the stronger this ominous feeling became in his heart.

[Employee Dormitory]..... There are no zombies.

It's completely empty!

There are still no zombies in the main hospital building.

suddenly.

Chu Hong suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Just as he stepped into the plaza between the main hospital building and the underground anatomy center, the scanning and perception effects of the Cobweb brain-computer interface display case began.

Finally, signs of monster activity appeared.

In the massive biological research laboratory space below, within a core data monitoring room, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils, filled with ferocity and excitement, stared at a sudden figure on the monitoring screen.

"What a fine test subject we've found..."
