Safehouse and the Middle Layer

grey.

They crawled for nearly a kilometer through the damp tunnel.

The first thing that catches the eye is a gray light.

We've arrived!

The clown retracted the Grasshopper Legs that had grown from his body and left the passage.

Han Dong jumped down, his 'hidden eyes' constantly observing the surroundings...

It's not like the Underground Sewer you'd imagine.

Rather than a Underground Sewer, it's more like a complex, abandoned Underground Station area with multiple passageways.

The underground passage, paved with white tiles, stretches endlessly to both sides.

A gray chandelier hangs every five meters from the top of the semi-cylindrical passageway.

Drip, drip, clear water continuously overflows from between the wall tiles.

The illegible bus stop signs and directional signs are pasted on the passageway.

Finally, there were also small, reddish-brown particles resembling fire cores floating in the air.

"An abandoned Underground Station?"

Activate the crow icon on the back of your hand to protect your entire body with the "Plague Doctor Attire" and avoid contact with this strange fire core.

At the same time, a system voice came:

A major (abnormal) side quest has been activated: [Twisted Underground Sewer].

"Special Intelligence":

You have entered a special space area inhabited by a large number of mutated life forms, vengeful evil spirits, and cursed objects... The overall difficulty surpasses the Main Plot It (the first part). Please ensure that you or your team are strong enough.

"Event Requirements":

①. Please go to the [Main Control Room] and find the "Sewerage Map (Twisted Version)".

After the first step is completed, subsequent requirements will be given in turn.

Event Rewards (Individual):

①. Major Clue (The Derry Town's Terrifying History)

②. Destiny Treasure Chest (Guaranteed to contain Fine-grade Equipment, random)

③. The "Sewerage Map (Twisted Version)" item is converted into a physical reward that can be taken out of the Destiny Space.

④. One Destiny Points (This abnormal side quest requires a completion rate of 90% or higher)

"This..."

Han Dong was stunned by the generous reward.

First of all, the Destiny Treasure Chest can actually yield equipment of a higher tier.

Han Dong was quite interested in this highly valuable and sophisticated equipment.

When I went to the Trading Center before, I happened to look through the blue equipment catalog and found that the price started at least at 3,000, and the weapons were worth five figures!

Han Dong estimated that this kind of Destiny Gear would only be fully effective at the [Knight] level... Moreover, such a price was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary Knight-Errant.

Han Dong is a special case; if he can obtain high-quality equipment with the corresponding attributes, he might be able to unleash its full potential.

In addition, what Han Dong values most is nothing more than Destiny Points.

If Han Dong can gain an extra point, and if he manages to leave this incident alive, he can "skip a grade" again and become a four-star Mysticism Apprentice.

At that time, we will be just one step away from ' Seed Germination '.

Destiny Points are probably the most valuable 'item' in the apocalypse.

However, such a large (abnormal) side quest is not so simple... After all, even the Joker, the final boss of this Destiny Event, dares not set foot here casually.

Come here!

In the few seconds that Han Dong was receiving the information and was slightly stunned,

The clown was already standing fifty meters away in the workers' break room.

"It's not safe to stay in one place for too long~ Come on in."

"Um."

Han Dong lowered his voice as much as possible and jogged over.

However, his eyes seemed to notice something... prompting Han Dong to turn around abruptly.

Behind him, in the distance of the gray passage, a large number of twisted alien creatures seemed to be writhing and moving forward at the top of the passage, with countless eyes watching him.

This gave Han Dong goosebumps all over his body, and he quickly rejoined the clown.

"Wait a minute... I need to build some Safehouse."

If we attract too many monsters down here and can't eliminate them all at once, it will create a snowball effect and gradually evolve into an unstoppable horde of zombies!

Some save points must be created.

Next, the clown's magic tricks left Han Dong completely bewildered.

The clown kept pulling Red Balloon out of his pockets, his pants pockets... and later into his mouth, nostrils, and ears!

The balloon has only one function.

That's just stuffing!

Countless balloons were thrown into this workers' break room, until the room was completely filled with balloons!

The clown slammed the door shut, seemingly waiting for something.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Ding!... Safehouse completed!"

The clown excitedly Door Opening again.

The dilapidated lounge has been transformed into a Safehouse filled with seven colors!

Even the original single-layer iron gate has been replaced with a Hydraulic Valve gate similar to a bank vault, which has an extremely high security level.

Staying in this colorful Safehouse really gave Han Dong a sense of 'security'.

"Phew! Thanks to you, we entered the [Underground Sewer] during the safest time, and the construction of the first Safehouse went very smoothly... The survival rate has increased considerably."

From now on, whenever I pass by such individual cubicles, I'll take some time to convert them into Safehouse.

"Um."

Safehouse are like save points in a sense, and they are very useful for exploring these highly dangerous and unknown areas.

The clown approached Han Dong excitedly, "You should have received the so-called incident information, right? Tell me quickly, what are you going to do?"

Now that they had formed a team, Han Dong shared the requirements for the Side Event.

Of course, Han Dong wouldn't mention anything about the reward.

"Should we look for a map first? Hmm... that makes sense! This place is incredibly complicated, and the routes are constantly changing."

The floor of the Safehouse is made of a colorful sponge.

The clown sat down on the spot and gestured for Han Dong to sit down facing him.

"I told you before, I would tell you all the 'secrets' here!"

In your mission description, this place is referred to as the "Twisted Underground Sewer"... However, I have a simpler name to describe it.

The Middle Layer!

"The Middle Layer..." Han Dong seemed to have guessed something beforehand.

"That's right, this involves the dark history of Derry Town!"

As for myself, I am nothing more than a pitiful victim in a dark history. I only escaped because I was lucky enough to do so.

By the way... do you think I'm crazy?

The clown suddenly pointed to its red nose and asked Han Dong seriously.

"Yes."

"Haha! That's right! During the dark period of history, all the residents of Derry Town went mad!"

Some are even crazier than me... Oops! The topic has suddenly gone off track.

Let's talk about the [Middle Layer] first.

The so-called "Middle Layer" is actually the only mezzanine connecting New Derry Town and Old Derry Town!

"The exterior and the interior?! Just as I suspected!"
