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

A red-quality figurine?!

Chu Hong's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

At that moment, on his shoulder, the two little ones, Ba Xiaoying and Ba Xiaohua, were also peeking out curiously at the [Ke Xiaoken] in Chu Hong's hand.

The moment Chu Hong injected the source energy.

The latter immediately shone with a bluish-green light, followed by a refreshing coolness.

Amidst the gurgling and wriggling sounds, Chu Hong stared at the Q-version Kraken before him. It stroked its tentacles as if deep in thought, then glanced at Chu Hong's left and right shoulders.

The wriggling creature nimbly climbed onto Chu Hong's head.

The suction cups adhered firmly to Chu Hong's helmet.

Chu Hong: "......."

So, what abilities do you have?

Chu Hong rolled his eyes speechlessly, looking up at the edge of the mask where he could still vaguely see a few small, bluish-green tentacles. Before, they were on the left and right, but now, there was one on the head too...

Seemingly sensing Chu Hong's question, Ke Xiaoken's whiskers twitched.

There was a whooshing sound.

In the blink of an eye, the two tentacles suddenly lashed out towards Chu Hong's side, and instantly expanded into thick tentacles several meters long.

The dense mouthparts and suckers swallowed a small, scarlet mutant rat whole.

The tentacles retracted, and she returned to her petite form.

Chu Hong: "..."

So, does this mean they have a 360-degree bodyguard on their head?

It is indeed very useful, but... Chu Hong doesn't think that red-quality figurines have only this much use. That's ridiculous.

However, now is not the time to study this.

Continue searching and add the quest item [High Energy Kraken Tentacle (Gold)] to your inventory.

Chu Hong then began to examine the containers in the key room [underground cold storage].

Something that looked like a gas cylinder was painted on the ground.

[Liquid Nitrogen Cooling Tank (Gold)]

A 2x2 four-square golden collectible.

Search for "tool cabinet": ...

Two small gold bars, one by two, [Alloy Wrench (Gold)] *1.

One x one blue trash can, [Pipeline Interface (Blue)] *1

Search for "freezer": ...

A 1x3 [sealed experimental tissue (blue)], and a 1x2 [frozen beef chunks (green)]

Chu Hong's expression grew increasingly grim.

After he had touched all the containers in the key room, the most expensive item he got from the red card, which was worth 120 million in the Special Operations Division, was the [Liquid Nitrogen Cooling Tank (Gold)] that was swiped on the ground.

"Damn it! Isn't this a complete scam?!"

Previously, the "Core Laboratory Access Card," also a red card, was readily available, but this "Underground Cold Storage Key," also a red card, is just as disappointing.

"So this thing is just a slaughterhouse specifically built to kill the Kraken?"

No wonder there wasn't even a high-value container; the so-called high-value container was just that Kraken corpse, frozen to death like an ice sculpture...

Guided by Ba Xiaoying and Ba Xiaohua, Chu Hong quickly found the large box of the [Underground Dissection Center], which was a huge metal box suspended in mid-air by a crane.

Search for "Advanced Toolbox": ...

A 3x4 item slot made Chu Hong's anticipation rise again.

however.

This time, the search icon displayed the item information after spinning a few times.

The purple light disappointed Chu Hong.

However, Chu Hong's eyes lit up again after seeing the item's information.

[Item Name]: Hunting Locket Gun

[Item Level]: Purple

Value: 310,280

[Type]: Weapons and Tools

【Weight】: 16kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 3×4

[Item Description]: A heavy tactical lock-lock pistol designed for maneuvering, rapid assaults, and desperate evacuations in complex wilderness terrain. The gun features a built-in high-strength alloy cable and a high-pressure ejection power module, launching an ultra-hardened carbonized grappling hook with a maximum range of 28 meters. The firing cooldown time is 30 seconds.

Almost instantly, Chu Hong figured out who would be the most suitable person to give this item to.

"Tsk tsk tsk, now he's really going to become a godfather..."

Returning to the [Beast Research Laboratory] with a full harvest, Chu Hong wondered if it was because the "plot had ended," but after returning to Dr. Hoffman, the latter did not have any further interaction with Chu Hong.

Even the other people in the research institute have become like NPCs in a game.

"Damn, I wanted to touch the Doctor again to see if I could get another red-quality pistol..." Chu Hong finished touching the container in the [Core Laboratory] key room that he had gotten for free, looking quite annoyed.

Having acquired two sets of gold bullets, there was nothing else worth taking with him.

Upon reaching the third underground level, we completed the regional survey task.

When we finally arrived at the evacuation point, it was almost at the last minute.

It's black in front of you.

[Investigation Area: Clifftop Plague Hospital (Confidential)]

Evacuation successful

[Evacuation Location: East Zone Cliffside Cableway]

[Operation Time: 59:58:17]

[The value of this operation: 1980 million energy points]

"Welcome home..."

The Special Operations Division's harvest of nearly 20 million energy points instantly excited Chu Hong.

Reward: +1 [Source Energy Space] slot.

Seeing the successive mission completion notifications, Chu Hong felt satisfied, but his gaze also turned to a newly opened roller shutter door on the side of the Special Operations Division.

A huge space opened up, complete with a stove, refrigerator, and other kitchen utensils.

He looked at them curiously for a while before noticing the two menus posted on the wall.

【Kraken Stew (Gold)】: Requires the core ingredient "High Energy Kraken Tentacle (Gold)". Consuming it will raise your energy level by one major level. It is ineffective for those in the Core Condensation Realm. The effect lasts for 8 hours.

【Braised Wolf Ribs (Gold)】: The required core ingredient is "Fenrir Whole Ribs (Gold)". Consuming it can instantly restore a fatal injury or continuously restore five times the life energy of the user for 8 hours.

Chu Hong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Holy crap! Bro, are you trying to make me go mad?! What's the difference between this and actually going berserk?!"

His eyes welled up with tears of emotion.

however.

Just then, the Secret Service suddenly spoke again.
