I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Chapter 112 The Burning Team's Journey to the Safe Zone (3K)

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire nightmare area.

Some of the powerful members who had fled far away only turned around in a daze at this moment.

They saw nothing, only a faint glimpse of the fading crimson rainbow light remaining in mid-air.

"What is that?"

Chen Baichuan murmured as he returned to the river.

He only glimpsed a rainbow of blood-red light, and the next moment a roar descended.

"Is it... Lord Blood?"

The Xuanjian whispered.

He had witnessed the Blood Handprint's attack; it was this strange creature that had suppressed and killed countless other ghostly figures, allowing him to break through the core of the Contaminated Spring.

But as expected, the blood-red clay sculpture was far from unleashing its true power at that time.

Perhaps it's to make them feel more involved in tackling the nightmare?

"Is this the true power of the Crimson Clay Sculpture?"

'

In another place, Xi Xue suddenly realized.

She used her extraordinary wisdom to deduce the answer.

"I understand, I understand!"

"We previously thought the shopkeeper was a master of the Yugui style, but that's not actually the case. The shopkeeper only made a move during the Ancient Village Nightmare incident."

"The true powerhouse of the Demon-Slaying School within the safe zone is Zhuo Miao! The Blood-Red Clay Sculpture is Zhuo Miao's true trump card; at this moment, this is where Miss Zhuo Miao's true strength is revealed!"

"Do you think there's any other basis for my reasoning? Of course there is! Just now, didn't Zhuo Miao summon several strange entities? But clearly, those were only secondary strange entities; the blood-red clay sculpture was the main force!"

The surrounding members stared in disbelief.

This reasoning sounds absurd at first, but upon closer examination—

"Indeed, that's well-reasoned and supported by evidence!"

"Indeed, Master Xue is too inexperienced. It's unreasonable for him to be the manager's master, but he's just right as Miss Zhuo Mio's master."

"Miss Zhuoling truly lives up to her reputation as a top-tier member of the safe zone. This power is even stronger than that of our Baijiang Headquarters' captain-level experts, isn't it?"

"Can we remove 'that'?!" Suppressing the black-armored leader with a single blow—what divine power!

"Is it too late for me to switch to the Ghostly Flow style?"

In the distance, the bloody handprint continued to bombard, its palms striking left and right.

It had been waiting for the other dreamers to marvel at its invincible prowess, but upon hearing this—

What? I'm a ghost?

Is it the turbid water that is the master?

This is an absurd reversal of the Heavenly Gang!

I am the veteran of the safe zone, and I am the top employee under the store manager!

But the bloody handprint can't speak; it can't very well refute that it and Zhuo Ling are both supernatural beings.

It got angry and lashed out.

He could only vent all his anger on the black-armored leader in front of him.

"Bloody Hand Bombardment!"

"Bloody Hand Bombardment!"

"Bloody Hand Bombardment!"

The tremors lasted for several minutes.

The Black Armor Leader lacked wisdom, and once Little Blood occupied the high position, the outcome was already predetermined.

Under the constant erosion and bombardment of the blood mist, the black-armored leader's armor was finally corroded and its protection was breached.

Until, "Boom!"

The eerie figure vanished completely, leaving behind only a tattered black armor that emitted a faint glow.

"Cursed Item: Twilight Armor (Rare)"

After the black-armored BOSS was defeated, the surrounding environment began to change, and the gray mist dissipated.

This is a characteristic of nightmares being conquered.

Seeing this, the members dispersed.

The injured men, including the man in the baseball cap and the man with the beard, quickly returned to the safe zone to treat their injuries.

-

Some people ventured deep into the ruins in search of treasure.

According to the rules, this nightmare was entirely conquered by Ms. Tsurumi, and the spoils naturally belonged to her. But the members felt that it would be good to just watch and enjoy the spectacle, and maybe they could even get a share of the spoils.

Zhuo Mio also came to the ruins to oversee the harvest.

At that moment, Chen Baichuan, the deputy captain of the 12th Detachment, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Team Leader Fen! What are you doing here?"

The members were also surprised when the group from the Countermeasures Bureau emerged from the depths of the ruins.

After the initial surprise, everyone went back to their own business.

Some people didn't even bother searching the ruins; instead, they went straight back to the safe zone. They feared that once the nightmare was cleared, they wouldn't have much time left to stay in the nightmare world.

Now, what they cherish most is the time spent in their nightmares!

This is outrageous.

While the members were only slightly surprised, the Burning Team and its members were truly shocked.

"That girl was definitely a master of the Third Refinement stage, or even a half-step into the Transcendent realm! Even the Third and Second Captains might not be her match!"

"Not just her, this strategy team has more than ten Refinement stage experts!"

What does this mean?

His fifth squad did not have ten experts at the Refinement stage.

He could also tell that these Refinement Stage cultivators seemed to come from different forces. There were martial arts schools, research institutes, wizarding families, and some who might even be powerful figures from the common people.

That's even stranger.

How do so many powerful individuals from different factions manage to cooperate so seamlessly?

Chen Baichuan said, "Because it's a safe zone camp, right? Haven't any of you in the Burning Team ever heard of a safe zone?"

Ding Ran, the squad leader of the fifth detachment and also the adjutant of Lu Yao's camp, said, "I've heard a little about it; intelligence from the real world mentioned this camp before."

The fire also explained why they were here.

"This place is the main crossroads connecting the deep layer to the shallow layer. And our strategy bureau's Lu Yao camp is located in the 'Whispering Forest,' which isn't too far from here."

Chen Baichuan: "Lu Yao's camp?"

Fenhuo said, "This is one of the three main camps of our Baijiang Countermeasures Bureau. The role of Luyao's camp is to receive guests from outside the city."

"You may not know this, but if dreamers from other places want to enter our Baijiang City, they need to return to reality in the shallow nightmare zone surrounding Baijiang City. Otherwise, no matter how far they are from their own city, as long as they are in the deep nightmare zone, they will return to their original city when they return to reality."

"Our Luyao Camp is here to provide a resting place for these strong individuals who have traveled a long way, and to guide them."

"Of course, our own people from the Bureau can rest and resupply here for free. If you are a Dream Faller who is not from the Bureau, you are also welcome, but you will need to pay a fee."

This is also one of the sources of funding for camp maintenance.

Although it mainly relies on funding from the bureau.

Burning Fire smiled and said, "Since your Dreamfall area is nearby, next time, I'll take you to visit the camp."

Chen Baichuan was somewhat interested, but not much.

He wanted to accumulate more contributions in the safe zone, and everyone was very eager to contribute.

He said, "By the way, you've arrived at just the right time, Burn Team. Let me show you around the safe zone."

On the way, Fenhuo learned about the general layout of the safety zone from Chen Baichuan and his adjutant Ding Ran.

"A newly built camp, but it's impressive, and it seems to have the makings of a wonder."

"The shopkeeper in the safe zone is even more mysterious and powerful, having carved out a camp in the void."

"It is precisely because of the existence of the safe zone that many dream sufferers have risen up and have the opportunity to cooperate. In a single day, the number of nightmares conquered in the safe zone is quite considerable."

"Amazing, amazing!"

The burning fire is truly admirable.

The safe zone established by the store manager has provided a lot of convenience for those who have fallen into nightmares, and has helped many people avoid the most dangerous early stages of nightmares, allowing each of them to grow.

This alone commanded the respect of Fenhuo and several other powerful members of the Fifth Detachment.

"However, don't always brag about outsiders' camps. Our Bureau's camps are just as good." Fenhu patted Chen Baichuan on the shoulder. "You haven't really seen our Bureau's three major camps yet. You'll understand once you do."

"Is that so?"

Chen Baichuan also began to doubt himself.

He had visited two campsites, far fewer than the safe zone. However, due to his relatively low experience and previous involvement in shallower areas, he had indeed not visited the three main campsites.

But upon closer examination, their Strategy Bureau was, after all, the largest organization in Baijiang City, and Baijiang City had received assistance from the Capital Bureau before its collapse.

With such a rich heritage, the campsite they built should indeed be of high quality.

Soon, Fenhuo followed Chen Baichuan to the gate of the safe zone.

The main gate was open, and several members were going in and out.

From the outside, it doesn't look lively at all.

But as the fire crossed the threshold, a cacophony rushed towards him, as if he had entered a completely different world.

Before me were bright lights, brand-new tables, and a large number of dreamers.

They raised their glasses and talked, relaxed and happy.

Is this still a nightmare world?

:

A team member murmured.

Fenhu glared at him. "It's just that more people make it more lively. If our Luyao camp had this many visitors, it would be just as lively."

"Yes, of course. Connecting multiple Nightmare Sanctuaries to shelter Dreamers is a unique advantage of the Safe Zone, something our Luyao Camp can't match."

The group found a table and sat down.

At this moment, Fenhuo found the advantage of his own camp: "Our Luyao camp has private rooms, but this camp does not. This is a victory."

Lu Yao's camp was originally responsible for hosting powerful figures from outside the city.

Among the three camps of the Countermeasures Bureau, Lu Yao's camp is only average in terms of defense and scale, but its environment and comfort are definitely the best.

Even the food and drink in the camp were—

"Hmm, it's only slightly worse than the safe zone."

"But at least the food at our Luyao camp is plentiful and filling. The food here in the safe zone is exquisite, but what we Dreamers need more is supplies to replenish our energy and strength."

Fenhuo felt that their Luyao camp could barely be considered second-rate in this respect.

Three minutes later, at the safe zone cafeteria.

He stared at the steaming soup noodles and rice bowl in front of him, lost in thought.

Chef Rune walked over and said, "Gentlemen, if you want anything that isn't on the menu, you can tell me. I'm a professional chef specially hired by the manager."

Burning fire: "————"

Why is there a chef in a Gomeng camp?

Is this reasonable?

Fenhuo, Dingran, and the others were all regulars in the Nightmare World, and as they ate the taste of their hometown, they couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

Chen Baichuan said, "Team Leader Fen, I've also booked a few rooms for you. You can rest here tonight."

rest?

How can we, the warriors of the Countermeasures Bureau, rest!

"But then again..."

Fenhuo said, "Our Luyao camp is mainly for hospitality. This safe zone is similar in style to ours. We're not here to rest, but to see if there's anything we can learn from it."

Ding Ran and the others: "Captain, you're absolutely right!"

The group entered the hotel.

As far as the eye could see, there were artificial hills, pine trees, bamboo, and peonies adding color to the scene. They even saw a few koi swimming around in the pond.

The burning team remained silent.

From silence to gradual numbness.

They slept soundly through the night, more comfortably than ever before.

Until the early morning of the following day.

When Chen Baichuan saw him, he couldn't help but ask, "Captain Fen, how does this safe zone compare to our Luyao camp? It's just as good, isn't it?"
