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

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

The eerie music that suddenly started startled not only Yamamoto and Otowa's teams, who were currently in the abandoned underground autopsy center, but also...

Nomura Rokuro, who was hiding in the back of Yamamoto's group, almost had his legs go weak.

He seemed to sense a dark gun barrel pointed at him from a certain direction...

"Warning! Experimental subject reserves are depleted! Qualified external experimental units detected. Commander will personally direct biological weapons operations to capture experimental subjects. All personnel are requested to evacuate the combat zone immediately!"

"..."

"laugh!"

The heavy gate, which had remained motionless, slowly rose.

"Keep moving (be careful)!"

"Otoha-kun, take the supplies and retreat immediately. The rest of you, follow me and cover our retreat!" Yamamoto decisively ordered.

With a collective "Hi!" from all the little cabinets.

What greeted them, however, was several golden apples that suddenly flew out the moment the gate was raised.

Yamamoto and the others' pupils shrank sharply. Some members of the team reacted quickly, either setting up energy shields or using ninjutsu to lift a stone wall.

"Boom boom boom—"

A series of rapid explosions and the resulting energy shockwaves had not yet allowed Yamamoto to recover.

In the thick, chilling fog, a dark figure wearing a silver mask and with a crimson glow in its right eye suddenly appeared, without any warning to him.

It suddenly appeared in front of him.

A sinister smile played on Chu Hong's face beneath his mask.

Danger! !! !!

His biological instincts made him want to react immediately, but the latter's blue-purple axe had already slammed down on his head.

"How did this guy... even appear...?"

This question remains unanswered.

With a single swing of his hand axe, "Savage," Chu Hong cleaved the man's head in two.

fast!

too fast!

So fast that Yamamoto didn't even have time to use his trump cards before his body lay stiffly on the ground.

"Yamamoto-kun!"

Yamamoto's death happened so quickly that Otoha didn't even have a chance to escape with the [Phantom Alloy Ingot].

"roar--!"

The surging mutated zombies, with an average strength of the fifth or sixth level of the Energy Gathering Realm, roared ferociously as they pounced on the group of small cabinets at the Energy Gathering Realm level around them.

Chu Hong didn't even bother to look at these small fry.

With a deep, unsettling gaze, as if fixed on prey, she charged toward her opponent in an instant, much to the astonishment of Otoha Ishizumi.

"Baka yarou...." Otoha Ishizumi's face contorted with rage as she tossed the bright red backpack she was holding to her subordinate beside her.

"Hayakoo! Take your things and leave!"

Chu Hong did not rush to pursue. Instead, he looked at Otoha Ishizumi, who was wearing a pair of brass knuckles, a high-quality helmet, and striking a boxer's pose, with a half-smile on his face.

"Kid, as long as I'm here today, you're definitely not going to get past here. You..."

Before Otoha Ishizumi could finish speaking, she suddenly felt as if something had grabbed her neck.

It felt like a hand was gripping his neck.

[Hand of Heresy] Level 1 Display Case Effect, activated!

His expression changed drastically.

A cold glint flashed in Chu Hong's smile. Wasn't this a stationary target?

next second.

A sharp, cold light pierced through his head in an instant.

It's a single-molecule resonant blade!

No armor penetration!

Pure physical injury!

When Otoha Ishizumi fell to the ground, there was a bloody hole through her forehead.

"Nisuchi!"

In his despair, Nomura Rokuro, with a resolute air, swung his katana fiercely from behind towards Chu Hong's head, which appeared to be completely unarmored.

"Snap!"

[Monkey Demon Stone] Display case effect activated!

Invincible headshot in a single game!

The clang of metal against metal was accompanied by a tremendous recoil force that sent sparks flying.

The tiger's mouth of Nomura Rokuro's hands suddenly split open, and he looked at Chu Hong in disbelief, who didn't even have a single mark left on his head.

He opened his mouth, his face pale, as if he wanted to say something.

next second.

"Bang!"

If we let him, that little fish, go last round, we'll never have another chance this round...

Without even wasting bullets, just as the opponent had swung it at his head, Chu Hong immediately embedded the [Tactical Hand Axe - Savage] deep into the latter's head.

"Pfft..."

With the axe blade pulled out, Chu Hong felt it was a waste of time to even glance at this "low-value container" that didn't even have a source core or a piece of golden leather.

Outside the abandoned underground autopsy center.

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

The terrifying background music that stirred the nerves continued unabated.

The loss of hearing, coupled with the surging tide of mutated zombies pouring out of the passageway.

The Kuroki squad, who were originally waiting outside to provide support and guard, did not dare to hesitate for a moment after obtaining the backpack containing the [Phantom Alloy Ingot].

Without looking back, he ran at full speed towards the evacuation point.

however.

In this hunting ground meticulously prepared by Chu Hong, how could any prey escape without Chu Hong's permission?

"roar--!"

[Abandoned Transportation Station] In the ruins to the south, a dark underground passage leading to an unknown destination suddenly appeared just as the Blackwood Squad and the others were about to rush into the evacuation point.

It roared and charged out of it.

"What?! Why are there so many monsters?"

Kuroki's face turned deathly pale as he felt the intense pressure emanating from behind him, making even the backpack in his hands feel unusually heavy.

"Baka yarou... This secret realm isn't just classified as confidential, it's at least top secret... and this damn boss..."

Kuroki gritted his teeth. With no way to escape, he could only order his team to prepare for a desperate fight.

"Damn monster, even if I die, I'll kill you first today!"

His gaze was fixed on the line of scarlet text above his head.

"【Boss Biohazard Security Commander - Chu Hong】"

"Bang!"

The ground beneath his feet trembled violently, and in the next second, Kuroki's speed increased several times over, with lightning crackling on the katana in his hand.

With almost instantaneous speed, he rushed in front of Chu Hong in the blink of an eye.

However, what responded to him was Chu Hong's own faint murmur.

"Time stop..."

[Golden Pocket Watch] lv2, display case effect, activated!

To the astonishment of the Blackwood Squad, everything within a fifteen-meter radius of boss Chu Hong seemed to freeze instantly.

They watched helplessly as Captain Kuroki's face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

Boss Chu Hong had his sniper rifle pointed at his forehead, and then...

"Bang!"

Looking at the headless corpse of Kuroki lying on the ground, Chu Hong turned his gaze to the others and spoke calmly.

"Kill them all..."

"roar--!"
