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

"Ta-da... ta-da... ta-da..."

【Fishing Secret Realm 1.0】

Abandoned transport station!

Suddenly, a clear and sharp gunshot rang out. Although it came from the ground, it still reached the small team that was searching for containers near the evacuation point.

"Hey? What happened over there?"

A captain of an elite pioneer, dressed in armor in the style of a shogunate samurai and exuding an aura of the eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm, frowned slightly.

"Hanada-kun, use your Ninja Butterfly to investigate. Judging from the power of that gunshot, the battle that broke out was probably quite intense..." As he spoke, a member of the team wearing a straw hat immediately formed hand seals.

Countless butterflies, as if appearing out of thin air, surged out from under the veil of the other person's hat.

Fluttering its wings, it flew towards the abandoned underground autopsy center not far away.

however.

Before these ninja butterflies could even fly inside...

Several disheveled and terrified figures were the first to scramble out of the room; there were four of them in total.

The last one had barely stepped out of the underground entrance when a ferocious and terrifying zombie figure suddenly pounced out from behind, knocking him down and biting his shoulder.

"Aaaaaah! Tassket! Tassket..."

"roar--!"

The team at the abandoned station was all taken aback.

however.

When they then saw hundreds of zombies at the fifth or sixth level of the Energy Gathering Realm surging out from the underground entrance like a tidal wave, everyone felt a sudden tightness in their backs.

"Damn it! Those bastards! What kind of quest did we trigger underground? Quick, stop searching! Retreat!"

"Tetta! Tetta Ichiteng Hey Isoge! (Retreat! Retreat towards the evacuation point)"

"You bastard! Get out of here! Don't come this way!"

The captain of the shogunate samurai was so angry when he saw the group charging towards them that he cursed loudly and drew his katana, ready to cut them down.

But then they saw the leader holding up a metal ingot that shone with a brilliant blue-green luster in the sunlight.

"I have the big red one! I found the big red one!"

"Help me! I'll give you everything I have!"

"It's a [Phantom Alloy Ingot]! It's a [Phantom Alloy Ingot] worth 1180 million! Help me!"

"I don't want to die..."

The samurai's pupils contracted slightly.

These pioneers, like hyenas in the wilderness, were unaware of the value of the [Phantom Alloy Ingot], but he, who came from the guards of the Abashiri Base Castle Lord's Mansion, had heard of it.

That's a super-sized red gem that can only be produced in world-class top-secret secret realms.

The Super Red is a tool and material that synthesizers desperately hope to obtain, capable of forging "divine artifacts"!

"team leader....."

The team members around him were taken aback when they saw their captain suddenly stop.

But then the latter gritted his teeth.

"Everyone, follow me! Rescue them! If we can get that big red thing, the city lord will reward us handsomely! Hayako! Charge!"

"Don't linger in the fight!"

The person holding the [Phantom Alloy Ingot] was getting closer and closer to them.

The team members behind him immediately increased the output of their ranged skills to buy as much time as possible for their retreat.

however.

"Bang!"

Despite the man's various movements, seemingly deliberately avoiding the possibility of being shot in the head.

But then that gunshot rang out.

A golden 7.62×54R bullet pierced precisely through the back of the opponent's head.

The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it! Pick that up! Pick that up right now!"

The samurai captain was furious, but fortunately, the ninja team member behind that guy rolled over, picked up the [Phantom Alloy Ingot] from the ground, and then ran towards him for his life.

"There's a boss behind us. That guy's a sharpshooter. Watch out..." the ninja shouted.

It was as if it was confirming what he had said.

boom--!

Chu Hong pulled the trigger again, and the last remaining team member following the ninja was also sent flying.

For those of us only at the Energy Gathering Realm, to die here would mean true death...

"Ta-da... ta-da... ta-da..."

"Trying to run now? Isn't it a bit too late?" Chu Hong's cold, deep voice, filled with murderous intent and mockery, rang eerily in the ears of everyone present.

The hairs on everyone's heads stood on end in that instant.

And the next second.

"Hana-lai!"

Amidst a surge of immense energy, the warrior squad was horrified to see a chilling figure, possessing an aura of terrifying power equivalent to the fourth stage of the Core Condensation Realm, suddenly burst forth from the horde of corpses.

They were so fast that they couldn't even touch them when they attacked.

They saw a spherical energy, resembling a black hole, flying towards them.

"Watch out! Get out of the way!"

The samurai roared.

Chu Hong sneered.

[Hate Scroll] Level 1 Display Case Effect, activated!

Attack locked!

The superpower [Weightless Field] exploded with a bang between the two people in the team.

There was no harm done.

But it made the two of them feel weightless and dizzy, and they floated into the air.

"Da da da! Da da da!"

[Biochemical Suppression 93R] A tearing gunshot rang out, accompanied by the burst of several bullets.

The two men's heads exploded instantly, like smashed watermelons, and their bodies crashed to the ground with a thud.

"Quick! Give me the thing right now!" The samurai roared, his liver and gallbladder pounding, as he reached out to the ninja who had run up to him.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

Brain matter mixed with shattered skull fragments splattered all over the samurai's face. Looking at the horde of zombies that had already rushed in front of him, he finally dared not have any more greed.

In a panic, he unleashed his source energy and rushed into the evacuation point.

The oppressive rhythmic "thump thump thump" in my ears seemed even more terrifying as the evacuation countdown began to jump in front of my eyes.

"Bang!"

"Da da da..."

The group hid behind various covers, but the boss seemed to know their precise locations.

Gunshots, explosions, and approaching footsteps...

at last.

The countdown has reached ten seconds.

A flash of white light.

Several people successfully evacuated...

Inside the secret realm, Chu Hong picked up the [Phantom Spirit Alloy Ingot] from the ground, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

The bait used for groundbaiting, such as "expensive gold watches" and "golden apples," was eaten by the little cabinet.

We can't let them take this out...
