168: Chapter 168 Another Red Card Appears! [Access Card for Research Lab No. 2]!

"Brother Hong, other teams are claiming benchmark tasks, and we're taking their rewards—won't that hurt them a bit too much?" Wang Suming said with his mouth.

However.

When the golden light flashed in his hand and a big golden head was fished out from the [Collection Safe (High-Value Container)], the smile on his face rippled unscrupulously.

"Mua ~ Brother Hong, can you give me this big golden head? I want to take it back and give it to my dad, to display right beside that golden dog head in my house..."

Chu Hong rolled his eyes and waved his hand: "Take it if you like. What's so good about displaying stuff like this..."

"Hehe"

Song Jiaojiao on the side had a solemn expression.

"Since the station evacuation point can't be used, then there's a high probability the paid evacuation point is out of the question too. We can only take the regular evac—"

Before Song Jiaojiao could finish, Chu Hong cut her off in one breath.

"The team that took the benchmark task will definitely find out the number of people doesn't match in the end, and someone will definitely block the evacuation points!"

"Therefore, we must take advantage of the chaos still happening outside to finish up here, and then quickly evacuate before they have time to block!"

A solemn look flashed through Chu Hong's eyes.

"Don't forget, the boss we defeated after completing the benchmark previously can accept combat commands!"

Thinking of that terrifying boss, the Lord of the Ape Clan, whose terrifying power felt like a single axe swing could split mountains and cut rivers, Song Jiaojiao immediately felt a chill run through her heart.

A boss like this was simply impossible for them to kill!

Even... the Core Condensation Realm would struggle!

Scanned by the effect of Chu Hong's [cobweb brain-computer interface] display cabinet, the core area [Parino Valley Base] was completely devoid of any humans or machines.

Walking into the main building.

Opening the door with the key to [Research Laboratory No. 1], he had Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming search the [Emergency Security Department] and [Research Laboratory No. 1] respectively.

Chu Hong walked quickly to the front desk.

Just glancing at it casually, ready to swipe the card and go straight to the top floor.

His feet suddenly came to a screeching halt.

Holy crap!

It dropped a card!

[Item Name]: Research Laboratory No. 2 Access Card

[Item Tier]: Red

[Value]: 3,184,000

[Type]: Privilege Item

[Weight]: 0.01 kg

[Inventory Slot Capacity]: 1 × 1

[Item Description]: Access card used to open Research Laboratory No. 2 in the main building of Parino Valley Base.

[Durability]: 20 / 20

[Usage Location]: Primitive Valley No. 1 - Parino Valley Base

Research Laboratory No. 2?

Chu Hong's pupils shrank slightly, and when he saw that this card turned out to be a red card, a flash of astonishment couldn't help but cross his eyes.

He remembered clearly!

The [Research Laboratory No. 1 Access Card] was worth only over 400,000 source energy points.

And it was only a gold card!

With the areas being symmetrical on the map and the names only differing by a number, the [Research Laboratory No. 2 Access Card] actually turned out to be a red card worth over 3.1 million source energy points!

"Holy crap! Could it be that this Research Laboratory No. 2 actually drops big loot?"

Immediately, Chu Hong didn't hesitate at all and walked towards [Research Laboratory No. 2] first.

Turning right into the east side of the main building, passing through the [Project Public Exhibition Hall], the heavy doors of [Research Laboratory No. 2] quickly appeared before his eyes.

This key room, which he could only ignore previously because he didn't have the key card,

could finally be entered and inspected today.

Chu Hong felt a bit nervous inwardly.

With a "beep" sound.

As the durability of the [Research Laboratory No. 2 Access Card] decreased by 2 points.

The laboratory door in front of him opened before Chu Hong amidst a burst of spray painting and disinfection sounds.

The disinfection nozzles sprayed Chu Hong all over with "hisss, hisss, hisss" sounds. Chu Hong had already stepped into the interior of the laboratory amidst this pungent odor.

Upon entering this, Chu Hong instantly felt his scalp tingle all over.

It didn't look like the clean and bright modern laboratory of [Research Laboratory No. 1] that he had imagined. Walking in at this moment, he didn't even see a single human or machine.

In the dim laboratory, the only sounds in his ears were the faint hum of current and two rows of huge nutrient solution tanks lined up on the left and right in front of him. Directly facing the door,

in a huge container emitting a bright azure glow from within, a huge flower, somewhat like the [flower of eternity] but different, served as the only light source in [Research Laboratory No. 2].

Or... a heart.

The blue light flickered on and off.

Virtually, it seemed to have some kind of connection with the nutrient solution tanks on both sides.

Faint green fluorescence lit up from the tanks on both sides.

Chu Hong walked among them.

A glance across.

Almost no obvious searchable containers like boxes or cabinets could be seen.

Instead, on the ground right in front of the huge nutrient solution tank in the center, there was abruptly placed an item that looked like a smart phone, but with a signal receiver extending from it.

[Item Name]: Satellite Phone

[Item Tier]: Red

[Value]: 523,080

[Type]: Electronic Device

[Weight]: 1.9 kg

[Inventory Slot Capacity]: 1 × 2

[Item Description]: A highly confidential military satellite phone capable of stably transmitting communication signals to the outside world even in complex energy field areas.

Chu Hong's eyes lit up slightly—a new two-slot red item!

He directly stored the item into his [source energy space].

After looking around once more, he didn't see any other open-air refreshed supplies.

"No way, inside this room card worth over 3.1 million, there's only this single supply refresh point on the ground?"

Chu Hong's expression turned somewhat ugly as he glanced at the twelve glowing green nutrient solution tanks lined up on both sides.

He reached his hand out.

Search [Gene Extraction and Concentration Device]: ...

The black search box appeared.

Chu Hong's eyes couldn't help but light up.

There were two items in total, both small one-slot items.

However, the container within a 3-million-plus room card still made Chu Hong couldn't help but look forward to it.

The search icon spun.

Ding! Golden light bloomed.

[Item Name]: High-Molecular Petri Dish

[Item Tier]: Gold

[Value]: 81,000

[Type]: Tool Material

[Weight]: 0.07 kg

[Inventory Slot Capacity]: 1 × 1

[Item Description]: A petri dish capable of resisting the corrosive fluctuations of the alienated energy ore in Primitive Valley No. 1, specially used by Palino Bio-Group for the animal and plant genetic research of Primitive Valley No. 1.

Ding! [Low-Density Dissolution Solution (Green)]

A small gold!

Chu Hong's eyes lit up. There were a full twelve such tanks here!

If every tank dropped a small gold, then this card would be a guaranteed profit without any loss!

Thinking of this,

Chu Hong hurriedly began to search the remaining containers.

Search [Gene Extraction and Concentration Device]: ... [Codename "Mutated Banana" Extraction Solution (Blue)] [Disinfection Gloves (White)]

Loot the next one!

Search [Gene Extraction and Concentration Device]: ... [Nitrogen Tank (Blue)]

Chu Hong's expression looked somewhat unpleasant.

Search [Gene Extraction and Concentration Device]: ...

When the last [Gene Extraction and Concentration Device] was searched by Chu Hong, an extra finger-thick [Codename "Mutated Banana" Extraction Solution (Blue)] containing a light green viscous liquid appeared in his hand.

Chu Hong's expression was already quite ugly.

"Damn it! Twelve containers, and it fished out a single gold?! With this drop rate, how have you the nerve to call it a red card?!"

If it weren't for the open-air refreshed [Satellite Phone] in the [source energy space], Chu Hong would really have invited this laboratory to eat a [golden apple] right on the spot.

With a gloomy face, holding onto a last shred of illusion, Chu Hong walked over to the nutrient tank in the center that held something similar to the [flower of eternity].

He reached his hand out.

Search ["Parino" Biological Reaction Core (High-Value Container)]: ...

The black search box appeared.

A 1 × 2 two-slot item began searching and spinning.

Only this single item!

It made Chu Hong's brow furrow involuntarily.

Just as he was silently sneering in his heart that this high-value container looked awesome, but actually turned out to be a piece of trash that couldn't deliver any goods,

the search icon's spinning duration grew longer and longer.

One second, three seconds, five seconds...

"Holy crap, holy crap... Is it going to drop loot? Is it going to drop red?!"
