Seeing yet another display cabinet effect activated, Chu Hong was in a great mood.

Although no matter how one looked at it, this function didn't seem very useful for combat, but... it could be useless, but it couldn't be missing!

Enter the secret realm again!

With a flash of white light, he landed at the No. 2 position of the Parino Valley Base.

"Brother Hong, if we do this, will we be warned by the Supervision Office..." Wang Suming asked somewhat nervously.

"Warning? Why a warning? Aren't we examinees?" Chu Hong smiled disdainfully.

Song Jiaojiao stood aside with her arms crossed.

Things having reached this point in the assessment, she no longer had any opinions about what Chu Hong wanted to do in the secret realm, and she was too lazy to stop him anymore.

Nowadays, the average supply score of their three-person team had already reached an astonishing seven to eight thousand.

That meant they had spent one day's time.

completing the evacuation of seventy to eighty million Source Energy Points in the secret realm.

"What do you plan to do? Go look for them one by one?"

Hearing this.

Chu Hong's lips suddenly curled into a strange arc.

Looking for clients one by one, how tacky would that be?

If they were going to look, of course they should shout in the public channel!

...

As soon as Yuwen Luo's entire team landed, they immediately saw the location where they and the others were currently at.

Right at the entrance of the Parino Valley Base! No. 1 position!

Having entered the secret realm so many times, coupled with the intelligence sharing among everyone in the examination room, Yuwen Luo and the others were already very familiar with the situation in the core area of the secret realm.

"Xiao Mo, set up magic traps at the main entrance."

"A-Bao, you and Iron Fist go straight to the East District [Parino Exhibition Hall] to eat high-value containers. The rest of the people, follow me to hide and ambush outside the base gate!"

Yuwen Luo immediately gave the order. To create the illusion that they had all entered the Parino Valley Base, he even had people kill the sniper overhead and several patrolling androids along the way leading to the main building.

The sound of gunfire, "da da da," suddenly came from the direction of the Transport Line Station.

Yuwen Luo and the others breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

That team at the station didn't choose to go up the mountain to blitz the valley base, so what they had to face was actually the team at the No. 2 position.

Within the team.

A-Bao and Iron Fist, who had taken the lead according to his instructions to enter the East District of the base, searched for supplies while intentionally creating some combat noises.

Iron Fist let out a roar, his fists swinging out fiercely like two burning flames.

The explosion sound of "Boom boom!" directly alerted the androids in the East District.

At the base entrance.

Yuwen Luo and the others ambushed in the dark with cold gazes, staring fixedly at the direction of the No. 2 position.

With such a big commotion, as long as this team wasn't cowardly to the extreme.

they would definitely rush over to blitz them at the first moment.

However.

After waiting for a long time, not only did they not see a single figure, but there was also no movement whatsoever from the No. 2 position.

Yuwen Luo furrowed his brows deeply.

"So cowardly? Could they have taken the rocky slope of the ridge line and gone somewhere else?"

Just as Yuwen Luo was thinking whether his next step should be to directly give up the ambush and have everyone enter the core area to search for supplies, or to wait a little longer.

A burst of intense, dynamic, and rhythmic music suddenly sounded in his ear as unreasonably as a bull warrior rushing into his bedroom in the middle of the night while he was asleep.

"Dang dang dang, dang dang dang..."

"Who! Whose movement is that?! Turn it off quickly!" Yuwen Luo roared in anger, his gaze instantly looking at the two team members beside him with obvious genuine fury.

Xiao Mo, the wood-attribute magic-side young girl, was startled greatly by Yuwen Luo's gaze.

She hurriedly shook her head repeatedly.

"No, it's not me, Captain. I heard it too, but I can't tell where the sound is coming from..."

Another team member who, like Yuwen Luo, served as a main attacker also knitted his brows tightly.

"Captain, something's not right. Why does this music... sound as if we're wearing earphones, ringing directly inside our ears?"

Yuwen Luo was still in shock processing the information he had just heard.

Suddenly, amidst the dynamic music in his ear, a somewhat familiar male singing voice came through.

Exactly where it was familiar, Yuwen Luo couldn't explain.

"Time passes quickly ~ Many memories turn pale ~"

"Often sighing with emotion ~ Too many gatherings or partings ~"

The gold-quality walkie-talkie at his chest transmitted the uncertain and astonished voices of A-Bao and Iron Fist from inside the base.

"Captain! Captain, can you hear us? Something... happened on our end! It's like, it's like someone is singing right in our ears, and damn it, there's even accompaniment!"

Iron Fist's voice coming from the walkie-talkie carried obvious shock and panic toward the unknown.

"Captain, I heard it too. It's just like it's ringing right inside our ears, and I can't tell what direction it's coming from..."

A-Bao was even more completely in disarray.

Yuwen Luo and the others looked at each other, all seeing shock and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

This was not within the intelligence they knew.

And almost at the same time.

Throughout the entire secret realm, whether it was the teams blocking the evacuation points rushing quickly to their "workstations," or the rat teams searching for supplies and exploring containers in Monkey Village or the river beach, all of them stopped their actions abruptly in shock.

Some people even instinctively entered a state of full alert as a whole team.

Back to back, they pointed their weapons at the surroundings with full uncertainty and suspicion.

"The hurried beat ~ The world is changing ~"

"In the deepest corner ~ You are always there ~"

"How I miss ~ the era when we went crazy together ~"

"C-Captain, you, you guys heard it too, right? Someone is singing! Holy shit! Someone is singing in my ear!"

"Holy cow, I heard it too. I thought I was wearing earphones..."

"What's the situation? Could it be that we ran into some special event in the secret realm!?"

All active teams in the entire secret realm had their tempo disrupted by this sudden turn of events.

The dynamic music in their ears, accompanied by Chu Hong's singing, spread across the entire map.

Just when everyone was at a loss.

and didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.

Amidst the singing and the music, a man's hawking voice, sounding like a clearance sale at a market, suddenly came through.

"Assessment secret realm guaranteed 5 million escort order! Assessment secret realm guaranteed 5 million escort order!"

"As you walk by, don't miss out!"

"All-elite 100% evacuation team! Current supply score 7000+ for everyone!"

"No prepayment required, everything is based on reputation, payment after the assessment ends!"

"Fair to old and young alike! Only need any single red-quality collectible!"

"Grand opening special discount for the first order!"

"The boss who is the first to punch in the secret code 113, our team will include a piece of hidden high-value intelligence with great exemption protection!"

"Assessment secret realm guaranteed 5 million escort order! Assessment secret realm guaranteed 5 million escort order..."

Map-wide teams: "!!!"

[South Bank Mudflat].

A lonely figure was walking alertly and full of worry in the jungle along the bank.

According to the direction in her memory, she wanted to grope for some wild material containers.

She was directly startled and froze in place by the sudden music and the high-spirited ad sound.

Boss Mu Xue's beautiful eyes flashed with intense shock.

Like being electrocuted, she vigilantly looked around with alertness, holding two revolvers in her hands.

"Who!"

However.

There was no ambush as imagined; instead, the singing and music in her ear still continued.

And that... escort team ad that left Boss Mu Xue utterly dumbfounded?

Meanwhile, on the other side.

[Parino Valley Base] No. 1 position!

All members of Yuwen Luo's team also looked at each other in shock and disbelief.

Xiao Mo nervously hugged her magic wand, her small head filled with a big question mark.

"C-Captain... I think I heard the escort team's ad..."
