91: Chapter 91: Ten Minutes a Round! [Clifftop Plague Hospital - Confidential] Run the Knife!

[Investigation Area: Cliffside Epidemic Hospital (Confidential)]

[Evacuation Successful]

[Evacuation Point: East District Cliff Cableway]

[Action Time: 00:10:17]

[Value of This Operation's Haul: 1.76 Million Source Energy Points]

"Welcome back..."

[Remember this site's domain w ̆ ̈ ̆ ̈ k ̆ ̈ ̆ ̈ ̆ ̈ ă ̆ ̈ ̆ ̈ n ̆ ̈ ̆ ̈ . c ̆ ̈ ̆ ̈ ŏ ̈ ̆ ̈ m ̆ ̈ ̆ ̈ waiting for you to seek]

Hearing this familiar voice from the Special Service Department, Chu Hong's expression instantly became excited.

"Hahahahaha! Cleared! Now the prison spawn area of the original Exotic Beast Research Laboratory can directly turn into a rat's dream tier-one loot spot!"

An ice-blue crystal card suddenly appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

When seeing that the price given by the Special Service Department was 1.2 million source energy points, Chu Hong was slightly disappointed at first, but immediately swept that disappointment away.

"It doesn't matter. Although it looks less valuable than the four-million keycard for the Core Laboratory, it's definitely a top-tier red item in terms of grid value..."

Chu Hong happily put away the card.

He began to quickly sort out the details of this map run and looting in his mind.

"After attracting the monsters to the parking lot in the first place, going into the Sanatorium and Rehabilitation Center first should be more comfortable. From the first floor, head to the Administrative Office Area, check the spots where small gold items and the precious gold watch spawn, and after clearing them, go straight upstairs to swipe the card."

"After looting the third-floor card room, the Advanced Care Area, use the jetpack from the window to jump directly to the second floor of the Exotic Beast Research Laboratory. Check the conference room card swipe point, finish the office area, go downstairs to the second basement level to kill Biochemical Barbie, and loot the guaranteed-safe [Confidential Biomass Storage Cabinet]..."

"After clearing the Exotic Beast Research Laboratory, decide whether to swipe the card to loot the Core Laboratory or leave directly, loot the Underground Dissection Center, and then evacuate..."

An extremely fast and smooth loot run route was already clearly outlined in Chu Hong's mind.

Even so.

When this route gradually took shape.

The southern hospital entrance parking lot area, which Chu Hong regarded as a rat's feeding spot during normal difficulty, directly became a prison zone on the confidential map.

"If I spawn in the southern parking lot, I must find a way to relocate immediately. After leaving that area, I'll release the drone to attract monsters... Back and forth like that would take at least five or six minutes, and in five or six minutes, I would have already looted an entire building."

While Chu Hong was muttering to himself.

Suddenly, the cold mechanical prompt sound of the Special Service Department came.

[Ding!]

[Time remaining for the "Biological Weapon Culture Room" to finish incubating the thunder horn dragon egg: 2 days!]

[Please prepare the remaining balance of 9 million source energy points as soon as possible.]

[If payment is overdue, incubation may fail.]

"Damn it! Are you urging me to my grave?!"

Chu Hong, who had just been happy for not long, immediately let his face fall upon hearing this voice.

Although for now,

9 million source energy points

were not that much anymore, but... nobody likes having a creditor waving a whip behind them constantly urging them on.

"What the heck! Urging, urging, urging! I work part-time in the secret realm by day, and part-time for the Special Service Department by night. Even after time-traveling, I'm still a workhorse..."

...

Chu Hong stayed at the Song Family Manor today.

However, on this very night, two figures arrived late at night at the doorway opposite Chu Hong's house.

One of them, if Chu Hong were present, would definitely exclaim in shock.

Jiang Long!

"Knock knock knock! Cousin, it's me, open the door!"

Jiang Long's numb, bloodshot eyes looked around this aged residential area. Who would have thought that this ordinary-looking place would be a stronghold of the Black Hole Council in Huangshan Base City?

The door was opened.

The Black Hole Council intelligence personnel who led Jiang Long here walked in first.

When Jiang Long saw the person sitting on the sofa inside, smilingly looking at him, his pupils involuntarily contracted violently.

"P-President Sha... ?!"

The notoriously famous president of the Shazhou Chamber of Commerce in Huangshan Base City, President Sha Lie!

He actually appeared here as well.

Jiang Long's heart beat wildly. While he was standing rigidly in place, President Sha Lie had already stood up with a smile, walked up to him proactively, and extended his hand.

"Hehe, Captain Jiang, long time no see. It looks like you've also made a smart decision!"

"Joining the Black Hole Council, joining the Night Crow Society, and serving Lord President will be the most correct thing you have ever done in your life!"

Jiang Long's expression was complicated.

He didn't reach out his hand, but his gaze looked at the person who had proactively visited and recruited him more than once in the past two days.

However.

After dropping him off here, this person turned around and left directly.

Leaving him, President Sha Lie, and the homeowner "Cousin".

Jiang Long looked at the two of them, but his mind was filled with the mocking images of Mo Mio completely trampling on him like an ant in the secret realm. His expression was gloomy.

"As long as I join the Night Crow Society, will I definitely be able to possess powerful strength?"

President Sha Lie chuckled: "Captain Jiang, get rid of the 'will I', you must have already witnessed the strength of my lord in the secret realm [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital], right?"

"Even strong figures at the Core Condensation Realm like City Lord Jiang Xingdong are no different from ants in front of the Lord Society Head. I can say very responsibly... If it weren't for the Lord Society Head's mercy—"

"Jiang Xingdong would never have been able to walk out of the secret realm alive!"

Jiang Long was silent.

Regarding this matter, he didn't even need President Sha Lie to explain with such an arrogant face.

As someone who had experienced it firsthand, he knew it best.

To think that he, a dignified Eighth-Stage Energy Gathering Realm, was the youngest and most talented Pioneer in Huangshan Base City.

Even Lan Yujing of the Rose Squad had to be inferior to him.

However.

Even so, that long spear of his, which had killed countless monsters and bosses in the secret realms around Huangshan Base City, was as fragile as a toothpick in front of Mo Mio.

Lying in bed to this day, he still couldn't forget.

the scene where Mo Mio casually waved a raven's black feather like swatting a fly with a feather, easily blocking every single one of his full-strength attacks.

He couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

The fear in his heart, along with his yearning for even greater power, ultimately overcame the last trace of guilt he felt toward his teammates in his heart.

"What do you need me to do?"

President Sha Lie smiled, his smile ugly and ferocious.

He fished out a photo from his bosom and pushed it in front of Jiang Long.

"Kill a person..."
