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

Search for "suitcase (high-value container)": .....

Yamashita Hayao: "!!! What?! This tattered briefcase is actually a high-value container?!"

Yamashita Yoru's face turned bright red.

My whole body tensed up.

As the search bar spun, the contents appeared in his hand.

It was a bottle of potion, a purple-quality potion called [Mythical Beast Elixir].

"What?! It's an enhancement-type consumable! Amazing! Amazing! Thank you, Amaterasu! Hahaha, thank you, Amaterasu!"

Looking at Yamashita Hajime, who was ecstatic as if he had won the lottery.

At this moment, Chu Hong and the others had an eerily calm gaze.

Chu Hong did not intend to leave Shan Xia Ye behind. In fact, he wanted the other party to take all the spoils and leave the secret realm safely.

Another burst of purple light erupted.

A high-tech-looking "Flying Bird Drone" appeared in Yamashita Ye's hands.

With his backpack completely full and two small red Yamashita Leaf shirts on his body, he dared not linger any longer and hurriedly got off the bus.

suddenly.

Another instinctive thought made him turn his head as if possessed.

Turning around, he suddenly saw a long, matte gray container under a bus; it looked like a weapon case.

arms?

Just as Yamashita Yoru took a step toward the evacuation point, he hurriedly turned back, making sure that the mutated zombies that had just left had not returned.

He rushed up and climbed under the bus.

He reached out and placed his hand on the weapon box.

Search for [Weapon Crate]: ...

A 1×3 black search box appears.

As the search icon spun in circles, Yamashita Yo's breathing became rapid.

Finally, the purple light that made his heart almost leap out of his chest burst forth within the black frame, under his excited gaze.

A cold weapon, resembling a machete, appeared in his hand.

[Item Name]: Manganese Steel Machete

[Item Level]: Purple

Value: 42,000

[Type]: Weapons and Tools

【Weight】: 2.1kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×3

[Item Description]: A heavy-duty machete forged from high-hardness manganese steel. The blade is a wide-backed, straight blade with a slightly curved shape, covered with a matte dark gray oxide layer. The back of the blade retains a section of unpolished original forging marks, while the edge is polished to a mirror-like finish sharp enough to shave. The handle is made of multi-layered pressed rubber with a non-slip texture, and has a lanyard hole at the end.

This is a purple-quality weapon that even Wang Suming wouldn't pick up when running around in secret realms these days.

At this moment, in Yamashita Ye's eyes, it was no different from a divine artifact bestowed by heaven.

The moment the cold longsword landed in his hand, Yamashita Ye only paused for a second before unleashing a speed that even made Chu Hong raise an eyebrow slightly.

They scrambled out from under the bus.

They ran wildly toward the evacuation point on the helipad.

As I entered the evacuation zone, a 10-second countdown began to play in my mind.

......

"tread!"

The familiar chill, mixed with icy snowflakes, clung to my cheeks.

Finally, Yamashita Yo was able to slowly come back to his senses, even though he was still somewhat dazed.

He looked down at the manganese steel machete in his hand, then looked back at the backpack that had changed its appearance.

Finally, I realized what was happening.

"It's not a dream...none of this is a dream..."

Two streams of tears welled up in her eyes and spilled out with emotion.

Looking back at the still-glowing, white-lit secret realm, he saw in it a glimmer of hope for himself and his sister—a hope for a turnaround...

Without any hesitation, he hurriedly took his spoils and rushed back to the base city.

Throughout the journey, I tried not to appear strange.

This reveals the gains made this time.

He not only put away the manganese steel machete, but also covered his backpack with an otter fur coat.

We made it back to our somewhat dilapidated home without any major incidents.

As soon as he stepped into the entrance hall, he saw a girl dressed in a shrine maiden's robe with long, shiny black hair, turning around and looking at him with a surprised expression.

"Onii-chan! You're back!"

"No one got injured today, right?"

Seeing his sister's concerned gaze, Yamashita Yoh's tense expression eased slightly, and he smiled and patted her head.

"Haha, Hanako, you'll never guess what I encountered today..."

He walked into the room, placed the 45-compartment backpack he had just acquired on the table, and then, under the shocked gaze of his sister Hanako Yamashita, proudly took out a luxurious and ornate watch [a fine gold watch].

Hanako Yamashita's clear black and white eyes widened in shock.

A small hand covered the mouth in astonishment.

"Koh, koh, so tired..."

"That's right, it's a red-quality collectible! While I was hunting Icefish, I encountered a new secret realm that suddenly appeared... It's a blessed place, Hanako, can you believe it? This is just an open-air red that spawned right in front of the landing point when I first entered the secret realm."

Yamashita Ye excitedly recounted what had happened in the secret realm.

The moment he took out the second red [golden apple].

Yamashita Hanako's pretty face was now filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Yamashita Yo smiled and said, "Hanako, I've seen that secret realm. The monsters are powerful, but as long as we don't provoke them, there won't be any problems... The secret realm will probably be discovered by others soon, and if I want to gain something like that again, it will be difficult."

"Don't worry about your studies at the Shingu Dojo. I'll make sure you reach the Energy Gathering Realm before you graduate. Then I'll take you into the secret realm to activate your source energy..."

Yamashita only rested briefly at home before hiding his spoils.

He immediately went out the door again.

Outside the Abashiri base at night, although it wasn't dark thanks to the moonlight, Yamashita Yo didn't dare to relax at all.

The wilderness at night is extremely dangerous.

Not only because there are many wild monsters, but also because... as night falls, it is the time when some pioneer teams are returning to their base city, and ambushes and double-crosses are commonplace.

Even Yamashita Yoh's father died one night in the wilderness.

After a series of close calls, we arrived at the secret realm we had visited during the day.

There were no signs of other settlers around, which made Yamashita Yoshino breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hurry, we must hurry... Hanako will graduate soon. The cost of fusing with the [Forbidden Item] will require a lot of Source Points. As long as we're careful, there shouldn't be any problems..."

"Enter the secret realm!"
