101: Chapter 101 People from the Upper City Base Have Arrived!

Huangshan Base City, City Lord's Mansion!

Awakening from his coma, Jiang Xingdong dropped directly from the Core Condensation Realm back to the ninth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm due to the shattering of his source core item, the statue of lord guansheng.

Even though he was still the strongest combat force in Huangshan Base City.

However... Jiang Xingdong looked at the latest report on the barrier energy of the secret realm sent from the Cliffside Epidemic Hospital secret realm camp.

His already pale complexion was now overcast with dark clouds.

"Lord City Lord, judging by the current speed, in at most seven days, the barrier energy of the Cliffside Epidemic Hospital secret realm will reach the limit value of 1000... Moreover, this is on the premise that those guys from the Night Crow Society do not continue to make a move."

Geng Lei, the head of the Armed Forces Department of the base city, also wore an anxious look on his face.

"The base city has already begun organizing personnel for evacuation..."

Jiang Xingdong nodded and powerlessly placed the document in his hand onto the table.

He sighed.

Thinking of the sense of powerlessness he felt when he encountered Mo Mio in the secret realm, even now, he still felt a chill and disbelief.

A collectible above the red quality could actually allow a person to possess such a terrifying, god-like power.

"It was me who underestimated the strength of Night Crow Mo Mio..."

He nodded, and just as he was about to say something, a flurry of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside.

With a bang!

The door of the conference room was pushed open directly.

Lan Yujing's face carried a faint flush that welled up from excitement.

"City, City Lord! People from Shangcheng Base City have arrived! It's the Leikai Team!"

...

"I thought you were just toying with an old man like me."

At the gate of Huangshan Base City.

Donald looked at Chu Hong, who appeared before him with a smile, a kid who seemed even more dashing and handsome than he was in his youth, with a complicated expression.

He took a deep breath: "I've thought about it over the past two days; it must be my old brain acting up. There's no reason to drag someone down with me into this kind of suicide mission... You don't need to go, our agreement is voided."

Having returned to a calm state, he finally realized the inappropriateness of the agreement he made with Chu Hong a few days ago.

How could this young man, in the prime of his youth, follow an old thing like him to die in a secret realm?

However.

Chu Hong just smiled faintly and pointed at the team emblem of the "Thunder Hajimi Team" on the purple-quality body armor on his chest.

"I say, isn't it a bit too late to rush off the boat now? After joining my team, you still want to run?"

He stepped forward directly and threw an arm around Donald, whose expression was still somewhat stunned.

As he prepared to walk outside the base.

Suddenly, several armed helicopters swept past overhead. On the surface of those armed helicopters, there was also a shield pattern with a lightning symbol.

Donald's pupils shrank slightly: "It's the Leikai Team! People from Shangcheng Base City have been sent!"

The Leikai Team?

Chu Hong was puzzled. He had been too busy running scavenging operations recently and hadn't paid much attention to these things.

Seeing this, Donald took a deep breath and began to explain.

"The Leikai Team is a newly-promoted Gold-grade Pioneers team from the guild in Qianchongzhai Base City, the upper city of our Huangshan Base City. Its five subordinate squads consist of elites among elites, with even the weakest having a source energy level at the seventh or eighth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm."

"And Lei Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the Leikai Team, is even a Core Condensation Realm powerhouse just like our Lord City Lord!"

As Donald was speaking.

The others around who also saw this scene began to point in the direction of the helicopter, bursting into a wave of excited shouts.

"Look quickly! It's Lei Xiao! It turns out Commander Lei came in person!"

"Oh my god, our base city is saved this time. The Leikai Team has an evacuation rate of over 80% in secret realms above the guild's confidential level. The Thunder Dragon Squad led by Commander Lei has a 100% evacuation rate for confidential ones, and over 90% for top-secret ones..."

Chu Hong turned his head, but couldn't see where the figure who had just given this introduction had run off to.

"Tsk... Saved is saved. Let's go, we still have to rush into the secret realm!"

He grabbed Donald, whose face was full of emotion.

Chu Hong set off directly.

Meanwhile, inside the city lord's mansion of Huangshan Base City, in front of a massive helipad, Jiang Xingdong, accompanied by several major core figures around him, went out to welcome them personally.

When a robust, muscular man nearly two and a half meters tall, looking like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex, stepped down from the helicopter.

Lan Yujing couldn't help stepping forward excitedly.

"Senior..."

On Lei Xiao's unsmiling square face, his expression remained unchanged. After a slight nod, his gaze turned toward Jiang Xingdong before him.

His demeanor was respectful.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, those madmen from the Black Hole Council kept holding us back so we couldn't come. It wasn't until we beat them back recently that we finally had time to rush over..."

A flash of guilt crossed Lei Xiao's eyes.

However.

Upon seeing him, Jiang Xingdong chuckled and waved his hand repeatedly.

"Alright, alright, this old man of mine has already got old bones. When I originally retired and came to Huangshan Base City to serve as the city lord, I just thought about spending my old age here. Who would have thought that an almost-hell-grade secret realm would be encountered by an old man like me..."

"As long as you guys have come, I won't need to rush the residents inside the base city to evacuate."

Lei Xiao nodded, and more than a dozen figures of varying heights and weights, yet each possessing a sharp and fierce aura, successively stepped down from the helicopter behind him.

Inside the conference room.

Jiang Xingdong, with a serious expression, personally explained the situation inside the secret realm to Lei Xiao and the others.

"The secret realm itself is not suitable for a large-scale, fierce attack. The suppression of source energy perception is very strong; even for me, the range of perception within the secret realm does not exceed one hundred meters."

"And the number of monsters inside is huge, all belonging to biochemical zombie types. Once a single zombie makes a commotion, virtually all the monsters in the entire secret realm will swarm over quickly..."

Lei Xiao listened intently.

Beside him, a petite girl with flaxen-colored braided hair was clacking away busily on a computer.

Combining some video materials of the secret realm provided by Huangshan Base City with the surveyed maps.

Under the girl's operation, a 3D projected light and shadow quickly took shape.

[Main Hospital Building] [Staff Dormitory] [Sanatorium and Rehabilitation Center] [Underground Anatomy Center] ...

There were also two already explored evacuation points.

"The [West District Helipad] evacuation point has a one-minute countdown. During this time, the sound of the helicopter propeller starting up will attract all the monsters over..."

"The [East District Cliff Cableway] evacuation point at the first-floor side door of the [Underground Dissection Center] has a ten-second countdown, but the environment is complex and easily triggers the boss of the [Exotic Beast Research Laboratory] as well as mutated zombies..."

Inside the conference room, a young man wearing glasses, dressed in a fiery-red suit and draped in a cloak, spoke indifferently.

"Since that's the case, captain... We'd better use the method of luring to gather all the monsters together, and then use area-of-effect strikes to clear out the vast majority of zombies first."

The young man speaking was the captain of the second squad of the Leikai Team.

Huang Pingzhi, a magic-side ninth-stage Energy Gathering Realm Pioneer with the codename "Fire Steed".

On the other side, a short-haired, cold-looking, beautiful woman with her arms crossed, wearing a black leather outfit and draped in a trench coat, also spoke indifferently.

"Based on the distribution of top-secret secret realms we've entered in the past, for this kind of modern building-style secret realm, high-value containers are basically distributed evenly. We should first clear out the vast majority of monsters, and then join forces to launch a targeted ambush against the boss."

"After solving all the monsters, we will search separately to record the locations of high-value containers."

Jiang Xingdong smiled and nodded repeatedly with full satisfaction.

Looking at Lei Xiao: "Back when you retired from the Secret Realm Guard, I was still worried that you wouldn't be able to pick yourself up. Very good... It's good that you were able to walk out of it."

Lei Xiao was just about to order the team members to get ready to set out.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came running over.

It was Geng Lei.

As soon as he came in, he immediately went to the side of City Lord Jiang Xingdong.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't dawdle!" Jiang Xingdong frowned with dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, the latter hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said.

"Lord City Lord, just moments ago, a team entered the [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital]. The guards at the secret realm camp failed to stop them. It's a two-person team, and one of them... is Donald, the former captain of the Falcon Squad!"
