12: Chapter 12: Aggressive Running Knife Attack!

"Plasma Bag * 200"

"Time Bomb * 100"

"Compound Bow * 200"

"Tactical chest rig, gas mask, tactical stab-resistant suit..."

Glancing at the list provided by Chu Hong, the woman was deeply shocked by the purchasing quantities listed.

Two hundred plasma bags right off the bat... How large is his team to require such massive consumption?

"What? Do you not have a source for them?"

Chu Hong frowned.

The purpose of his transactions today was precisely to get these items on the list.

If the other party could not provide them, his sales would be completely meaningless.

So-called wealth had absolutely no comparability when measured against the improvement of his own strength.

Seeing that Chu Hong seemed somewhat dissatisfied, the woman hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, no, no, sir, there is no problem. I—I just didn't expect that the quantity you need, sir, is simply too large..." Her gaze sized up Chu Hong with curiosity.

After chatting for a short while, even though Chu Hong's face remained concealed,

the woman had already determined that Chu Hong must be quite young.

And anyone able to enter this place must surely be a Pioneer.

Could he be the young master of some major faction?

Or perhaps the descendant of a top Pioneer?

As she pondered in her heart, she quickly calculated a quotation for Chu Hong.

"Aside from the items you requested on the list, I will pay you another 50k Source Energy Points, or 300k Universal Coins. What do you think..."

Too lazy to haggle, Chu Hong nodded directly.

"Fine, but I need to get the items today!"

"Hehe, of course. Rest assured, I'll have someone arrange the goods for you right away..."

Chu Hong gave the other party an address.

It was an empty Warehouse requested from that fat man Wang Suming, which could be used precisely to avoid prying eyes.

When Chu Hong left the black market, his backpack had already been emptied.

However, his pocket now held a remittance slip for 300k Universal Coins.

Finding a place to eat a midnight snack, he then waited for a while at the agreed Warehouse location.

Soon, a truck from the Beetle Squad arrived to deliver the goods.

Watching the workers skillfully move the cargo boxes into the Warehouse, Chu Hong shook hands with the woman in satisfaction.

"Sir, this is my business card. If you have any further needs in the future, you can contact me directly by telecommunication, and we can prepare the goods for you in advance."

Chu Hong took the business card.

Xiao Hong, deputy leader and business manager of the Beetle Pioneer Squad.

Xiao Hong smiled faintly without asking Chu Hong's name. Since Chu Hong had not introduced himself up to this point, he was naturally unwilling to reveal it.

After Xiao Hong and the others left, Chu Hong entered the Warehouse.

He swiftly moved these boxes of supplies entirely into the Special Service Department Warehouse.

Returning home once more.

The sky outside was already fully bright, but that did not affect Chu Hong as he lay back down on the bed.

"Enter the Special Service Department!"

Special Service Department.

The Action Department had a new mission.

[Action Department · Purge]: Head to the Investigation area "Cliffside Epidemic Hospital", completely clear all enemy units in the [Staff Dormitory] area, and obtain the item "Confidential Meeting Minutes" from Room 322.

[Mission Rewards]: Action Department clearance points, workbench recipe "omega virus blocker", 1500 Source Energy Points.

Confirming the details of the mission once more.

Chu Hong was not obsessed with completing the mission quickly.

He put on his 24-slot mountaineering backpack and equipped a 12-slot chest rig.

Five time bombs and twenty plasma bags.

Finally, he equipped the "Black Wolf" compound bow and shouldered his quiver.

He took a deep breath.

"Enter "Cliffside Epidemic Hospital"!"

...

"Step!"

As both feet stepped onto the ground, Chu Hong's vision instantly recovered.

A look of joy crossed his face.

Gotta secure the early loot right upon landing!

Crouching swiftly, holding the bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, he walked to the edge of the parking lot.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow accurately pierced through a zombie's head, followed by another arrow...

"..."

In less than two minutes, Chu Hong had completely wiped out these few zombies in the parking lot.

He retrieved the arrows.

Walking quickly to the window of the stretch limousine, he took out the high-value item briefcase.

Searching [Briefcase (High-Value Container)]: Solid gold lighter (Golden), luxury fountain pen (Purple).

He put all of them into his backpack.

Next was clearing the [Southwest Helipad]. Under the ease of precise arrow shots, several zombies collapsed to the ground in response.

Crouching down, Chu Hong followed the wall path and once again arrived at the [Weapon Box] supply point he had just visited in the previous round.

Searching [Weapon Box]: Military smoke grenade (Green), military smoke grenade (Green), military smoke grenade (Green).

"Good grief, two-star smoke grenades!"

Chu Hong could not help muttering in disappointment.

He placed his hand on the "Corpse of Plague Beast Spiru" once again.

Searching [Corpse of Plague Beast Spiru]: omega virus scale armor (Purple).

Chu Hong did not know what this was, but given its purple quality, he still chose to put it into his backpack without hesitation.

Leaving this place in disappointment.

Chu Hong returned the way he came, quickly passing through the [Southwest Helipad] and then past the parking lot.

After that, he arrived at an area he had never been to before: the [Staff Dormitory].

...

"In such a narrow place, if I encounter zombies, wouldn't I be totally doomed?"

Chu Hong cautiously cleared and shot the wandering zombies around the dormitory building.

At the same time, looking at the bulletin board erected right in front of the dormitory building, which clearly marked the internal structure of the dormitory, his expression turned somewhat ugly.

This was a standard three-story dormitory building without an elevator.

On both sides of the narrow corridor were doors behind which he had no idea if there were zombies, or how many.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Hong directly took off the backpack on his back and dropped it on the ground to the side.

Carrying his quiver, holding the compound bow in hand, with a source blade hanging at his waist, he stepped softly into the first floor.

"Whoosh!"

The dull sound of an arrow piercing flesh rang faintly at the dead-silent hallway entrance.

Chu Hong pulled the arrow out from between the eyebrows of the lobby security guard zombie, nocked it back onto the compound bow, and cautiously turned into the first-floor hallway.

Devoid of lights, the first floor was dim and foul-smelling, and the air seemed to carry a strange odor, but fortunately Chu Hong was wearing the gas mask he had bought.

He moved his footsteps cautiously.

His gaze focused heavily on checking the doors on both sides—whether they were closed, and if closed, whether they were ajar...

A slight footstep suddenly came from the room on the left. Chu Hong's eyes turned cold, and he poked his head out to take a careful glance.

The door was open.

A female zombie wearing pajamas covered in dirty yellow stains had her back turned to the door.

Listening for a moment and confirming that there was only this single zombie inside, Chu Hong drew his bow and fired directly.

"Thwack!"

An arrow pierced right through the back of its head, and the zombie collapsed straight onto the bed.

It did not make the slightest noise.

He retrieved the arrow.

Continuing to advance cautiously.

Groping cautiously along the way like this and clearing out all the zombies in the open rooms on the first floor without searching them, Chu Hong stepped forward toward the second floor.

It was still the same routine.

However, having adapted to the rhythm and understood the structural layout inside the dormitory, Chu Hong was noticeably more adept and smooth when clearing out the zombies.

Where zombies might be hiding.

Where the blind spots of the bow and arrow were, requiring a switch to the source blade to handle...

Half an hour later.

"Hoo... Now only the third floor is left!"

On the map, the mission icon for Room 322 was still there. Chu Hong adjusted his state and sneaked toward the third floor once again.

However.

Just as he walked to the corner of the stairs, before even stepping out one foot, Chu Hong immediately held his breath after seeing the scene in the hallway within his line of sight.

At the same time, the step he had just lifted immediately pulled back.

Zombies!

Dense packs of zombies!

Just a glance made Chu Hong's heart instantly leap into his throat.

There were surprisingly at least twenty or thirty of them!

At this moment, they were all gathered near the doorway of Room 322 where the mission icon was located, each looking ferocious and terrifying, swaying in place with either lowered heads or drooping shoulders and hunched backs.
