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

Huangshan Base City, City Lord's Mansion!

In a tightly guarded conference room.

When Song Ming rushed over, there were already quite a few people sitting in the conference room, which made Song Ming's heart skip a beat.

What a big deal!

His pupils contracted slightly. Today, those who came to the conference room included not only the senior officers of the Armed Forces Department and the chairman of the Pioneers Guild, but also Lan Yujing, the captain of the Rose Flower Team, as well as local bullies like himself from Huangshan Base City.

In Huangshan Base City, the presidents of several large collectibles guilds were all summoned.

The Shazhou Chamber of Commerce, the Thunder Beast Chamber of Commerce, and the newly emerged Crossing-the-River Dragon Chamber of Commerce, which recently suffered a significant blow.

Including the Rubik's Cube Chamber of Commerce he represents.

It can be said that this entire conference room is now filled with all the top elites and dignitaries of the entire Huangshan Base City.

"President Song's business has been booming lately. He's so calm and collected, even with the city lord summoning him for such a momentous occasion..."

A voice that sounded like a half-smile came from Sha Lie, the president of the Shazhou Chamber of Commerce, who was standing nearby.

Song Ming's expression remained unchanged as he gave him a cold glance.

But he didn't respond.

Soon, the moment City Lord Jiang Xingdong entered the conference room, all the dozens of people present stood up and bowed.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. The old man has summoned all of you here in such a hurry because there's only one thing..." Jiang Xingdong took a deep breath. Today, he wasn't wearing the ordinary training clothes he wore when he met Chu Hong.

Beneath the uniform of a Great Xia City Lord, a surge of primal energy flowed through his aged body.

"Following multiple investigations by the Crossing Dragon Squad and the Rose Flower Squad, the secret realm [Clifftop Plague Hospital], which appeared forty miles northwest of the base city a month ago, has been classified as Top Secret!"

Everyone's expression was solemn, but almost everyone present had their own sources of information and was not surprised by this.

however.

Jiang Xingdong's next sentence caused everyone present to change their expressions instantly.

"Special note: Considering its current mechanics, environmental factors, and unknown monster levels, after review by the Upper City base, the [Clifftop Plague Hospital] archive record has been upgraded to Quasi-Hell level!"

"What!? Hell level!!!"

"It's near-hell level..."

"It's already at Hell level, what's the point of being so inaccurate? Lord City Lord, is it really Hell level? Then our Huangshan Base City's pioneer defense force is simply insufficient to control such a secret realm!"

"Yes, even if it's not truly hell-level, a near-hell-level being will still die if they go in. Once this information is released, which pioneer team would dare to explore the [Clifftop Plague Hospital]?"

"If this continues unchecked, and the secret realm remains unchecked, then what awaits our Huangshan base city is the annihilation of the secret realm right before our eyes!"

The scene erupted in chaos.

Even Song Ming, who is usually calm and rational, couldn't help but clench his fists tightly at this moment.

His face was gloomy and unpleasant.

His gaze fell on Jiang Xingdong, who was sitting at the head of the table.

"Lord City Lord, now that the Upper City has assessed the danger level of the secret realm, will you send us reinforcements to stop its destruction?"

"The several secret realms surrounding our Huangshan base city have always been peaceful and stable. However, if the [Clifftop Plague Hospital] secret realm goes out of control and shatters, the entire wilderness will become a paradise for monsters, and all the secret realm camps we have established outside will also fall. If that goes on for too long, the other low-level secret realms will also shatter one after another..."

Upon hearing Song Ming's remarks.

The crowd, already pale with fright, gasped in horror.

It's been so long since the last monster horde triggered by the shattering of the secret realm that Huangshan Base City has lost count of when it last happened.

But the kind of disaster that Song Ming described—a domino-like collapse of the secret realm—was enough to send chills down one's spine just by hearing about it.

All eyes were on the city lord, Jiang Xingdong.

We await his reply.

Jiang Xingdong's face was gloomy: "Support will be available... but the Upper City Base City cannot send any for the time being. Recently, those lunatics from the Black Hole Council have planned several sabotage operations against the Upper City Base City. Nearly a hundred pioneer teams have been wiped out in the secret realm."

"We need to prepare for the worst!"

Upon hearing the name "Black Hole Council" mentioned by Jiang Xingdong, everyone's already grim expressions turned even more dismayed, as if the sky had collapsed at that moment.

Sha Lie, the president of the Shazhou Chamber of Commerce, asked with a flicker in his eyes, "Lord City Lord, if the Upper City Base City is unable to deal with those madmen for a long time, will our Huangshan Base City have to rely on itself to deal with that near-hell-level secret realm indefinitely?"

Jiang Xingdong took a deep breath.

"This is another reason I called you all here... Starting today, Huangshan Base City will be under a red evacuation alert!"

"The evacuation of ordinary residents within the city has begun. Once the secret realm [Clifftop Plague Hospital] is breached, we must minimize casualties as much as possible... As for those of you here, from the day you became pioneers of our Great Xia, you should have been prepared to sacrifice yourselves to defend humanity!"

"I will personally oversee the operation, organizing an elite pioneer team to enter the [Clifftop Plague Hospital]!"

"Gather as much important intelligence as possible for us!"

Chu Hong returned to the Special Operations Division.

Looking at the long list of prompts on the panel in front of me, who would have thought that I could accomplish so much in just one hour?

After dealing with the three Phantom Gods, completing the benchmark mission [Operation Domination], finishing the department mission for [Main Hospital Building], and finally, timing it perfectly, looting all the high-value containers in [Main Hospital Building] and [Staff Dormitory].

Chu Hong was taking stock of the good stuff he had brought with him this time.

suddenly.

A notification suddenly came from the Special Operations Division control panel in front of me.

【Ding! 】

[Host detected to have completed the investigation of the "Clifftop Plague Hospital" area, a benchmark mission]

Unlock "Clifftop Plague Hospital - Secret"

"The classified map has been unlocked?!"

Chu Hong was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy. If the drop rate on the regular map was this good, what would the drop rate on the secret maps be like?

PS: No, I used to struggle to even reach 400 requests for updates, but this one posted at noon has already reached 500, so why is this book getting no traffic? o(╥﹏╥)o, Dog Tomato, give me some traffic!
