When Zhang Xiao yawned in the company stairwell at two o'clock in the morning, he didn't know that he was falling into mankind's oldest nightmare-the back room. In this infinite space stuck in the cracks of reality, six hundred million square miles of never-ending yellow wallpaper, the buzz of fluorescent lights eats away at sanity, and the damp carpet hides secrets more terrifying than death.
Level 0 is just the beginning. In the musty maze, Zhang Xiao learned the first lesson: don't believe your own eyes. When the first "Laughing Nightmare" pressed towards him with its face without facial features, it was M. E. G. Scout Lin Qiu who saved him. The woman with the rusty compass told him the truth - there were 999 known levels in the back room, each an elaborate death trap. There are hounds with exposed muscles wandering in the warehouse at Level 1, humanoid "pipe crawlers" lurking in the steam pipes at Level 2, and there is something in the darkness at Level 3 that collects human screams.
At Alpha Base, Zhang Xiao saw the survival wisdom of the survivors: using almond water to fight mental corrosion, using a homemade power grid to block entities, and using materials traded from B. N. T. G. To survive. But when he was forced to join the Level 6 supply mission, he discovered that all the experience was invalid. In the darkness beyond the reach of flashlights, a new type of entity is evolving. They no longer follow the behavioral patterns in the M. E. G. Database, but instead learn, set up ambush, and think like humans.
