188: Chapter 188 Level Sprint

Finally, the meeting ended.

Jiang Xingdong directly arranged the plan for the next few days for Chu Hong and the others.

Remember the domain name of this site, massive Taiwan novels are waiting for you to explore.

He would lead the team in person.

Lan Yujing, the captain of the Rose Squad, would serve as the deputy captain.

Bringing Chu Hong, Song Jiaojiao, and Wang Suming, they would enter the top-secret secret realm Cliffside Epidemic Hospital, to quickly boost their source energy!

Which was the so-called...

"Holy shit... The City Lord himself is escorting us. Brother Hong, if my parents found out about this, they'd probably faint from excitement!"

Wang Suming was no less excited at this moment.

Although the old City Lord Jiang Xingdong's strength had dropped from the Core Condensation Realm back to the ninth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm due to the shattering of his source core item...

But... what was lost from the drop were the methods brought by the source core item.

The level of source energy within his own body was still that of the Core Condensation Realm.

Coupled with his seasoned and rich experience in secret realms, such an escort was something others wouldn't even dare to imagine.

Huangshan Base City, Pioneers Guild Headquarters.

Right now, on the square in front of the originally magnificent and huge Pioneers Guild castle, a group of people were busily erecting a teleportation tower whose style was not much different from the teleportation tower of the Black Iron Castle in Qianchongzhai Base City back then.

In a few days, Chu Hong and the others would be able to pass through this teleportation tower.

and head directly to Xialong Base City.

"Tch, that woman Xu Daili will probably have to say again that I, this younger brother captain, am foolish and have too much money..."

Chu Hong muttered inwardly.

But he had already stepped onto the helicopter heading to the secret realm camp.

At this moment, on the helicopter.

Jiang Xingdong was dressed in an ancient Chinese-style chain mail with a layer of cloth shirt inside.

He held a long saber styled after the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

As for Lan Yujing, she was still dressed in full golden armor, holding a one-handed shield and a long sword, looking like the Goddess of Dawn.

The helicopter took off.

After flying for dozens of miles, it soon landed in front of the secret realm camp of the Cliffside Epidemic Hospital.

At this moment, the secret realm camp was obviously much livelier than it was in his impression.

"Some of these people are teams rushing over from Qianchongzhai Base City, and some are personnel sent from the central district to gather intelligence and investigate what red-quality specialty collectibles are inside,"

Jiang Xingdong explained.

Chu Hong nodded gently, watching as three or four full squads walked into the secret realm entrance in just a short while.

The Night Crow Society shouldn't be brainless enough to cause trouble at this time.

But Chu Hong dared to be certain.

Someone must have secretly targeted him!

Entering the familiar Cliffside Epidemic Hospital once again.

In the pitch-black, hand-in-front-of-face invisible environment, coupled with the dead and foul air, Chu Hong inexplicably felt a sense of relief as if he had returned home.

Especially when the effect of the cobweb brain-computer interface display cabinet was activated.

The figures of zombies in the darkness, as well as the figures of the three bosses in the Exotic Beast Research Laboratory appearing, made the corners of Chu Hong's mouth involuntarily curl up slightly.

"This is position number one of the Exotic Beast Research Laboratory, and also the area closest to the boss..."

Jiang Xingdong explained with a solemn expression to Chu Hong and the others.

Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming were both entering this secret realm for the first time.

Coupled with this pitch-black and terrifying environment, tension was inevitably written on both of their faces.

On the way here, while on the helicopter, the two of them had already obtained the map information of the Cliffside Epidemic Hospital secret realm.

What they, and even Jiang Xingdong, didn't know was that this map itself was brought out by Chu Hong...

Arriving at this location, Jiang Xingdong did not let them take action immediately, but patiently gave Chu Hong and the others time to adapt to the surrounding environment.

While staying on guard, Lan Yujing couldn't help but cast strange glances at Chu Hong from time to time.

Unlike the tension and unease of Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming.

This guy Chu Hong actually closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking absurdly like he had entered the deep mountains to embrace nature and breathe fresh air.

There was not the slightest trace of tension to be seen.

"Boom!!!"

A huge explosion instantly shattered the silence of the secret realm.

It suddenly came from the direction of the southern parking lot.

In an instant, amidst the horrified gazes of Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming, the entire secret realm was like a black hell awakened from a deep sleep, with ferocious and harsh roaring sounds.

Accompanied by dense crashing and footsteps, the doors and windows of the Sanatorium and Rehabilitation Center and the Exotic Beast Research Laboratory in front of them were instantly smashed open.

Large swarms of pitch-black corpses surged out like floodwaters.

Crimson eyes were densely packed in the dark night, enough to make trypophobia patients faint on the spot.

When the Project Dominator Clone rushed out like a hellish demon breaking through its cage, smashing the outer wall of the Exotic Beast Research Laboratory...

Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming were both so scared that they held their breath.

Chu Hong reached out and patted the two on their shoulders.

"Rest assured, with me here..."

A calm sentence made Jiang Xingdong and Lan Yujing aside look at him in surprise.

Jiang Xingdong seemed to have some thoughts and didn't say anything.

However, Lan Yujing couldn't help asking: "Chu Hong, have you ever entered this secret realm?"

"No, my perception is just relatively strong," Chu Hong said indifferently.

However, at this moment, it didn't look convincing no matter how one looked at it.

Chu Hong didn't care about this. He hadn't expected that the strategy of using explosions to draw monsters that he came up with earlier would be used by other Pioneers teams so soon.

That explosion just now was made by the team that landed at the southern hospital entrance.

The team at position number one of the hospital main building entered the hospital.

The team at position number one of the southern gate that made the explosion just now bypassed the Staff Dormitory closest to the corpse tide and entered the Underground Anatomy Center.

Jiang Xingdong led everyone into the Sanatorium and Rehabilitation Center in front of them.

"After Pioneers successfully evacuate from a secret realm, the source energy in their bodies will receive a certain boost. The amount of boost here is actually linked to the source energy they consumed in the secret realm..."

On the first floor of the Sanatorium and Rehabilitation Center.

Jiang Xingdong pointed at a few zombies in the reception room and said quietly.

"The higher-level the secret realm, the denser the internal source energy, and the faster the natural recovery speed of source energy. Natural recovery of source energy usually gives a slightly higher increase in the upper limit of source energy compared to forcibly using items to recover source energy."

"So... release your source energy as much as possible, and then wait for natural recovery."

Jiang Xingdong was indeed a good teacher.

At this moment, while patiently teaching Chu Hong and the others about the relationship between secret realms, Pioneers, and source energy, he directed them, especially Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming who urgently needed to level up, to step forward and fight.

Song Jiaojiao waved her magic wand.

Icy qi condensed, instantly freezing several zombies in the room, especially their mouths and throats, making it impossible for them to make any sound at all.

Wang Suming stepped forward with a flurry of elbow strikes and shield bashes.

Watching this scene, Chu Hong no longer continued to follow within the team.

"City Lord, I'd like to act on my own..."

Everyone was slightly stunned.

It was Lan Yujing who said: "I knew it, you must have been to this secret realm before! You've got some nerve! You even dare to casually enter a top-secret secret realm!"

She had been observing Chu Hong just now.

This guy followed around the team the entire way, acting as if he were strolling on the street.

While Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming were tense and on guard, he was leaning casually against the wall, as if certain there were no zombies over there, following the team with a casual look.

But whenever Song Jiaojiao and the others were about to approach a zombie area, he would immediately cast his gaze over.

As if ready to strike at any moment.

Jiang Xingdong gave Chu Hong a deep look and nodded.

"Don't go too far..."

Chu Hong nodded in acknowledgment. After nodding to Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming, he walked straight out of the Sanatorium and Rehabilitation Center and headed towards the Exotic Beast Research Laboratory.

Song Jiaojiao watched Chu Hong's departing back.

An urge of anxiety and loss inevitably rose in her heart.

The gap in strength between the two of them was too big—so big that Chu Hong even teaming up with her and waiting for her to level up was a waste of time...

Understanding this, Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming immediately cast aside their concerns and tension, and under the command and leadership of Jiang Xingdong and the other, began clearing the zombies and elite zombies in the map.

Meanwhile, Chu Hong.

His gaze had already penetrated the ground and floor buildings.

Looking at the other two bosses in the Exotic Beast Research Laboratory at this moment.
