Retrieving [Private Safe (High-Value Container)]...

"2×2? What could a 2×2 pulled from the [Staff Dormitory] big safe be? It's so hard to guess~"

Within the [Special Service Department] Investigation area [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital · Top Secret].

Outside was pitch black, and every now and then, one could hear a couple of sharp, terrifying zombie roars, as well as the boss's voice coming from the direction of the [Exotic Beast Research Laboratory].

However.

At this moment, Chu Hong felt as if he had entered an ordinary-grade secret realm.

Not only was he not scared at all, but he was also completely uninhibited.

Just then, as the item retrieved by the black box in front of him appeared in his hands amidst a flash of red light.

[Masked Worm]!

"Simon! Simon so do mi~"

Chu Hong was ecstatic. The [Masked Worm], which used to make his sanity plummet just by looking at it, looked prettier and prettier to him today.

"Hahaha, gorgeous, another [Masked Worm] get! The Collection Room display case can directly upgrade to lv1!"

Chu Hong was immensely pleased. With a thought, an invisible radar wave seemed to sweep across his surroundings, instantly scanning the entire [Staff Dormitory] and the distribution of zombies around it.

It was presented in his mind in the form of a 3D image.

[Collectible]: cobweb brain-computer interface

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Can instantly reveal the perception of life forms within a surrounding range of no more than 1,000 meters and with an energy reaction not exceeding the ninth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.

[Upgrade Requirement]: 5 million Source Energy points, [brain domain reading device] * 3.

For three days, Chu Hong casually settled his meals right inside the [Special Service Department]. A layer of dust had already settled on the floor of his home in the outside world, while his clone was still sleeping soundly.

Three days!

How many runs had he done running knife in the top-secret [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital]? He couldn't even remember.

But it was at least a hundred runs.

Following yesterday's good luck, when he narrowly escaped under the pursuit and interception of the [Project Dominator Clone] while successfully evacuating with the red-tier [cobweb brain-computer interface], he activated the lv1 display case effect of the [cobweb brain-computer interface] in the [Big Red Collection Room].

Chu Hong had become completely adept at entering [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital · Top Secret].

Activating the display cases in the [Big Red Collection Room] was simply too awesome.

Chu Hong, who was already extremely familiar with the [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital] map, now after activating the lv1 effect of the [cobweb brain-computer interface] display case...

entering [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital] was truly no different from returning home.

No matter what nook and cranny it was, or even in the eternal darkness that even source energy perception could not probe, all factors that could cause sneak-attack damage to Pioneers and thereby trigger a zombie riot across the entire map...

were completely unable to hide in front of him.

Just as Chu Hong was thinking happily and preparing to head to the [Underground Anatomy Center] to scavenge the resources there...

the abrupt alarm of the [Special Service Department] left him frozen in place.

[Ding! External clone has died!]

[The host will be forcibly teleported ten kilometers away from the entry point upon leaving the Special Service Department.]

[To regenerate a camouflage clone, please pay 20 million Source Energy points.]

Chu Hong: "???"

He stood there as if completely dumbfounded, stunned for a long time before suddenly drawing in a sharp breath.

"Holy shit! Brother Tong, are you saying that I... I'm dead?"

[Ding!]

[To be precise, what died is the camouflage clone of the host that was in a sleeping state in the outside world. Someone just entered your real home and cut off the clone's head.]

Chu Hong took a breath and couldn't help touching his own neck.

He wore a look of utter confusion.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out who he had offended in the base city who would dare to kill him directly inside it...

"Damn it! 20 million Source Energy points! That's almost all the funds in my current account?!"

Chu Hong's eyes instantly turned red!

If he hadn't been going crazy these past few days, running knife without sleep or rest...

after deducting these 20 million Source Energy points, he wouldn't even have the money to pay the final balance for the [Biological Weapon Cultivation Chamber]!

But even so, because of this accident, he was once again thrown back to square one overnight!

Without the slightest hesitation,

Chu Hong quickly dashed toward the evacuation point at the [East District Cliff Cableway].

Meanwhile, in [Huangshan Base City]!

When Jiang Long quickly arrived all the way at the meeting place he had arranged in advance with President Sha Lie, President Sha Lie had already been waiting there for a long time.

"Are you sure it's taken care of?"

President Sha Lie was full of anticipation.

Then he saw Jiang Long directly hand over a silver-white cubic briefcase in front of him.

Opening it to take a look—

A faint chill surged out from the case, and a young head was shockingly placed inside.

Its eyes were closed, and it seemed to still be sleeping even at the moment of death.

The smile on President Sha Lie's face grew increasingly rich.

"Hehe, as expected of the Crossing River Dragon Team, good! It is this brat who ruined the Society Leader's big plan and greatly displeased the Society Leader. With this head, both you and I will definitely be praised by the Society Leader!"

Jiang Long had no interest in listening to this winding, pointless nonsense.

"This brat signed up for the assessment of [Longming Sacred Academy], and he also made great contributions to [Huangshan Base City]. Once this matter is exposed, neither you nor I can survive. Immediately arrange for me to leave [Huangshan Base City] now!"

"I'm going to the headquarters of the [Night Crow Society]!"

President Sha Lie nodded, looking at the head of Chu Hong in his hands with a heart full of burning fervor.

With this great contribution,

he would definitely be remembered by that Society Leader, and even... officially join the [Black Hole Council]!

...

"Glug glug"

In Chu Hong's home.

[Ke Xiaoken]'s cyan-blue tentacles expanded and enlarged, covering the entire blood-stained bed. Accompanied by a sticky feeling and the sound of shattering bones,

the headless clone—which even Chu Hong couldn't help praising for its "neat sword technique"—quickly vanished from this world.

To be honest, looking at his own headless corpse lying on the bed felt quite special.

This was Chu Hong's first reaction when he came out of the [Special Service Department] and rushed back home at the first moment to see this scene.

Retrieving the footage captured by the [flying bird drone] hidden in the dark corners of his home, Chu Hong looked at the agile figure in the light curtain before him climbing into the window just like he had gone to [Xu Daili]'s home.

His expression couldn't help freezing slightly.

The captain of the [Crossing River Dragon Team], Jiang Long?!

Watching Jiang Long in the footage cleanly and decisively slash off the clone's head and quickly pack up to evacuate, Chu Hong fell into deep confusion.

He had thought of all kinds of possibilities.

He thought of burglary, he thought of the smelly rats from the black market sneaking into his home, he thought it might be some figure offended by his predecessor, and even, he thought of the [Night Crow Society] of the [Black Hole Council]...

But he never expected that...

the person who killed him would actually be [Huangshan Base City]'s star Pioneer whom he hadn't even had contact with, Jiang Long!

"So... is he taking my head to report completion of the task?"

Chu Hong rubbed his chin, a weird arc gradually curving up the corners of his mouth.
