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

monster!

The monsters were so densely packed that they were crammed into the underground space of the [Monster Research Laboratory] like crowded sardines.

These monsters were no longer the zombies that Chu Hong had encountered before.

Although they retained some human outlines, their overall shape and appearance were already those of twisted and ferocious monsters.

Chu Hong frowned.

"Looking" at those half-humanoid monsters, some with octopus tentacles extending from their hands and backs, and others covered in beast-like fur.

These guys were all crammed into the underground space, without making a sound.

However, the fact that these monsters are marked as highlighted in the [cobweb brain-computer interface] display case indicates that they are all in some kind of standby state.

The slightest provocation could trigger them to swarm out immediately.

however.

Chu Hong stopped in his tracks, standing in front of the dilapidated building, the [Beast Research Laboratory], whose staircases seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

His face gradually became serious.

"Where's the boss?"

His face was grim, and everything unfamiliar before him made him feel that this [Hell-level Clifftop Plague Hospital] seemed particularly troublesome today.

Just like the "Top Secret: Clifftop Plague Hospital," it is even classified as a near-hell level in reality.

At this moment, after comparing them, Chu Hong felt that the [Hell-level Clifftop Plague Hospital] and the [Hell-level Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] were not even on the same level...

"You seem to be looking for something..."

A slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from behind Chu Hong.

Chu Hong was so shocked that the hairs on his body stood on end instantly.

Without even thinking, he chose without hesitation... to cheat!

[Gold Pocket Watch] Display case effect, activated!

Time stops for three seconds!

Chu Hong turned around abruptly and saw a familiar face, but one that had clearly changed.

Dr. Hoffman!

The NPC who issues the benchmark quest "Operation Domination" in the secret realm!

However, his appearance has changed drastically.

Although he was still wearing that stained and tattered white lab coat, his stubble-covered face had a bluish-green hue that Chu Hong found very familiar... It was similar to the color of the boss's body [Project No. "Kraken" Matrix]!

The other person's eyes were a deep, crimson vertical pupil.

Like a ferocious beast, the image, reflected in the glasses, features a wolf's paw reaching forward as if to "rip out one's heart and lungs."

Chu Hong felt like he understood where the original three bosses on the map had gone.

The red name above the person's head immediately confirmed Chu Hong's guess.

Boss: Spyru Kylimont Hoffman

Spyru?

The [Inheritor·SV-98] instantly appeared in Chu Hong's hand, and the muzzle was physically pressed against Dr. Hoffman's head.

"boom!"

The bullet, carrying Chu Hong's source energy, instantly pierced through the latter's head without any suspense.

Time stop ends.

However, there was not a trace of joy on Chu Hong's face.

"So... this is a fusion with the regenerative abilities of the Kraken?"

Dr. Hoffman's head had been blown apart by the bullet, but his eyes were still moving, and his facial muscles maintained a hunter's smile.

"Splash!"

The ferocious wolf claws instantly grabbed the spot where Chu Hong had been standing before he stopped time.

I missed my chance.

"A strange technique, like some kind of superpower. I didn't sense the trajectory of your movement just now..."

Dr. Hoffman, who had failed to land a blow and had his head blown off by Chu Hong, was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he stretched out his other right hand, which still looked like a human hand, and adjusted his glasses.

The grotesque brain, which still seemed to be faintly pulsating, began to wriggle and recover under Chu Hong's disgusted gaze...

Finally, even the skull was repaired in a short period of two or three seconds.

"Indeed, when our people discovered the Spyru, I already realized... this world is far more vast and mysterious than we know, and it possesses many wondrous powers."

I heard the name "Spyru" mentioned again.

Chu Hong took a deep breath; he had already thought of it.

There was a mission that required us to enter the [Clifftop Plague Hospital], go to the abandoned armored vehicle on the west side of the [Main Hospital Building], and investigate the "corpse of the Plague Beast Spyru".

It seems they even harvested one of the other person's hearts.

The Dr. Hoffman standing before Chu Hong now lacked the composure and decisiveness he remembered when accepting the benchmark assignment. In fact, it seemed that the dignity of his aristocratic background had been completely discarded.

The way he looked at Chu Hong was like a wild beast eyeing a piece of fresh meat...

"You are one of my kind, and devouring you will make me stronger, strong enough to escape this wretched place... and that wretched fool!"

Dr. Hoffman grinned menacingly, his sharp teeth making him appear even more like a humanoid beast when he opened his mouth.

The moment he finished speaking, Chu Hong saw the other person's vertical pupils suddenly flash with a crimson light.

"Pfft!"

A sharp, intense pain suddenly shot through his shoulder blade, blood splattering as flesh was torn apart, causing Chu Hong's pupils to constrict sharply.

Hoffman, who had been standing in front of him, suddenly appeared beside him as if by teleportation, his mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth grinning as he bit down on his shoulder.

A flash of red light, and Chu Hong's [Biochemical Suppression 93R] instantly appeared, just as he was about to raise his gun to fire.

【Ding! 】

[Paranormal Observer's Relics] lv1 Display Case Effect, activated!

[Exempted from the superpower "Reality Domination," which causes hallucinations]

As the voice echoed in his mind, the excruciating pain vanished, and Hoffman, who had been biting his shoulder, also disappeared.

Instead, a figure rushed towards them.

"roar!"

"Holy crap!" Chu Hong didn't even have time to activate the display case effect of the [Golden Pocket Watch].

He suddenly pulled the trigger.

[Biochemical Inhibition 93R] The smoke of gunpowder filled the air as three bright yellow bullets were fired in quick succession toward Hoffman's head as he lunged forward.

The latter's scarlet vertical pupils contracted, and its other human hand suddenly transformed into a wolf claw, about to block the bullet, but for some reason, the hand suddenly retracted.

In those milliseconds, Chu Hong keenly noticed the fleeting struggle and anger on the other person's face.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bullet shattered the latter's head again, this time even breaking everything above the nose, including the eyes.

Golden Apple!

The three Golden Apples unleashed a scorching surge of energy in the instant Chu Hong dodged.

It detonated instantly.

"Boom—"
