New Dungeon: [Domain of Delirium]
The sky was overcast, with dark clouds looming overhead.
The entire wilderness stretched out before us, with hardly a single tree in sight.
Everywhere you looked, there was only muddy ground where you could sink halfway into your shoe if you stepped on it, and wild grass with an ominous black color on its surface.
If it were a system-issued Mandatory Quest, a solo mission would be somewhat understandable. However, this is Large-scale Campaign Quest where the Player's primary objective is to Walkthrough the Dungeon.
Under these circumstances, it's impossible to let just one person run around to Walkthrough the Dungeon, so Bai Zhi easily came to a conclusion related to this place.
"Is the reason for spreading out the Player is for safety reasons? There are unknown risks in this wilderness, and too many people gathering could trigger..."
While pondering these thoughts, Bai Zhi opened the System Interface.

"The Dungeon difficulty ranges from B to S... Is the difficulty a periodic, jump-like change, or does it mean that the difficulty reaches S in certain locations?"
Bai Zhi reached out and gently pressed his forehead, then looked up at the Tian Kong.
Above the open Tian Kong, clouds surged rapidly, like a harbinger of an impending great storm. (And pictures)
"Rescue, exploration, and resource gathering—three optional missions in total. As for survivors... does that refer to the original survivors of this world? Large-scale Campaign Quest... involve Player from Otherworld..."
Looking down at his feet, which were almost completely soaked by the black mud seeping from the muddy ground, Bai Zhi squatted down and, with a hint of interest, plucked a few wild grasses and examined them in his hand.
The once green weeds had turned completely black, with a faint, rotten smell emanating from them, though the smell was so faint that it easily dissipated in the sound of the wilderness wind.
"Otherworld Player? There should be some in this Dungeon too... to save the survivors still here?"
For those Otherworld Player who had united to launch this Large-scale Campaign Quest, Bai Zhi had a few vague guesses in his mind.
Although he obtained some relevant information from Qingyi, based on his experience in various Dungeon and his interactions with Otherworld Player, Bai Zhi felt that these Otherworld Player could be broadly divided into three categories.
The first Otherworld Player he encountered was probably the man in Black Military Uniform with Golden Eyes who appeared below the Residential Building at the beginning. Although he saw him once later at the Station, he didn't meet him in the Dungeon, so he didn't know much about him.
The real encounter with those Otherworld Player comes from the brother and sister you meet in the Rose Manor Dungeon.
[The March-shi], and [Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas], and after that came [Fuzi].
"The essence of Large-scale Campaign Quest should be Player from several worlds joining forces to solve Anomaly. The goodwill shown by the March-shi does have that flavor... Oh well, I'll ask them next time we meet."
Bai Zhi tossed aside the weeds in his hand, clapped his hands, stood up, chose a direction, and walked forward. As he walked, he opened his Personal Map Interface and began to draw a map.
The map interface is quite simple to use, requiring little intervention from him to create Personal Map.
The place where he first appeared was a low-lying area with lots of mud. Often, every step you took would lead to a Black Water, and if you weren't careful, half your leg would sink in. The Black Water was densely packed with the corpses of unknown black insects, which looked a bit like mayfly or mosquitoes.
Although the area is currently a wasteland, visibility is actually quite poor due to the darkness.
Even with the support of [Pluto], Bai Zhi couldn't see too far ahead, but fortunately, his Survival Ability was amazing, so he wasn't afraid of anything.
However, due to the puddles under his feet, his trouser legs and shoes were completely soaked, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
In addition, the temperature here is low, and the cold wind seems to blow endlessly across the wilderness. If Bai Zhi's Constitution attributes weren't high enough, he would probably be freezing by now.
After walking for about half an hour, his body covered in mud that had dried, Bai Zhi finally made a new discovery in this wilderness.
--It was a dilapidated Off-road Vehicle with all its tires stuck in the mud, standing alone on the wasteland, and you could vaguely see a blurry figure in the driver's seat.
The [Magic Type] silently slid into his palm. Bai Zhi slowed his pace and walked slowly towards the Off-road Vehicle. However, he put the gun away when he was only halfway there.
There was indeed someone in the driver's seat, but it was just a Dry Bones, its skull drooping over its chest, its hands claws still gripping the steering wheel.
"... Survivors who escaped but ended up trapped here and died? Native residents?"
Frowning slightly, Bai Zhi walked to the car window and peered inside through the broken glass.
The car interior looked like it had been ransacked, covered with countless signs of damage; the leather seats and the small decorative items inside were riddled with holes.
Besides the driver, who had turned into a skeleton in the front seat, there were three other Dry Bones in the back seat. The larger Dry Bones was tightly embracing the other two Dry Bones.
The father was driving in front, and the mother and her two children were behind.
--This is Family of Four perished while fleeing the disaster.
