"Early on, when this sewer system was being established, the engineers who designed it were actually from our Apocalypse Society. The engineers included many designs in the blueprints that others simply couldn't understand.

At the same time, they retained the complete design blueprints.

You could say that the sewer map in the hands of the Tasting Commerce Association is only sixty percent of what we have!

They know nothing about the remaining forty percent of the area.

To safeguard the secret, most of the workers who built the sewer back then have been secretly executed by our church. They should feel honored for this, as they defended the secrets of the Master of Revelation with their lives and thus earned His forgiveness!"

"The Tasting Commerce Association should also feel honored—they used their money to help us build an underground fortress!"

Zhang Quan's face was filled with pride and satisfaction, while a flicker of disgust passed through Luo Fei's eyes.

At this moment, he felt as though the entire Apocalypse Society was like a rat.

Like a rat that stealthily nibbles away at the grain reserves, constantly feeding and feeling proud of it.

Zhang Quan continued to prattle on: "Later, the church made some repairs to this place, constructing it like an underground labyrinth.

They also deployed the 'Guardians.' You probably don't know what the Guardians are, but once you become a Scripture Reader, you'll understand these secrets.

The Guardians are humans granted mutations. After becoming a Scripture Reader, we all receive special tokens from the church. With these tokens in hand in the underground, the Guardians won't attack us.

But if anyone dares to continue smuggling in this sewer, the Guardians will tear them to pieces without mercy!"

Luo Fei was suddenly enlightened, frantically gathering information.

"With all these measures in place, you can boldly and confidently walk in this sewer. Later, you'll also receive a map. Memorize this map, and you'll be able to find the headquarters through the city's various sewer outlets."

The two continued conversing as they walked, until they arrived at an unremarkable stone wall. Luo Fei couldn't see anything unusual about it.

Until Zhang Quan took a token from his bosom, pressed it against the wall, and muttered words.

The ground trembled slightly, a crack appeared in the stone wall, and a stone door gradually opened, revealing a passageway leading to an unknown destination.

Luo Fei's face showed astonishment as he followed Zhang Quan into the passage, continuing to move forward until the view opened up.

In this underground space, Luo Fei saw two deformed creatures, over three meters tall, with massive muscles all over their bodies, knotted together like the roots of an old tree sprawling across the ground.

Their faces were entirely distorted, impossible to recognize as human, and the oppressive force made Luo Fei's heart tremble.

Zhang Quan placed a hand on Luo Fei's shoulder, signaling him not to panic, and said lightly, "They are also Guardians."

Zhang Quan showed his token, and only then did the two Guardians retract their surging aggression, their eyes slowly turning toward Luo Fei.

Zhang Quan quickly added, "He doesn't have a token yet, but he is here for the Scripture Reading ceremony, and I am his guide."

Upon hearing this, the two Guardians slowly averted their gaze, allowing Zhang Quan to lead Luo Fei deeper in.

Before Luo Fei appeared an underground palace, with totems of the Apocalypse Society Church visible all around.

Luo Fei's eyes continuously gathered information, taking in everything around him, his face showing deep shock.

He couldn't understand how the Apocalypse Society had managed to construct such a building underground.

Didn't the government of the Ninth Special Zone have any inkling?

Zhang Quan seemed to notice Luo Fei's thoughts and smiled as he explained, "Remember how I told you the engineers were also our people?

While supervising, the engineers commissioned this underground space to be excavated.

The workers would only follow orders and not ask many questions.

If a supervisor from the Tasting Commerce Association inquired, the engineers would fabricate a reason to brush them off and later erase this place from the project plan.

They would then concoct other reasons, muddling any inquisitive supervisor. If that didn't work, our church would step in to silence them.

So this place would never appear on the blueprints—silent and unnoticed.

We sent church believers down here to construct the buildings.

It's equivalent to the Tasting Commerce Association building seventy percent for us!"

Luo Fei heard the rumbling of machinery and snapped back from his shock, asking, "What's this intense mechanical noise?"

"Because nearby is the city's entire underground sewage extraction system, where a massive turbocharger is always running, creating such loud noise.

This turbocharger has also been modified by us. It contains a large amount of explosives so, in case anything happens at the headquarters, we can detonate the explosives, causing the whole ground above to collapse!

Concealing everything of our Apocalypse Society!

When they investigate afterward, they will only think it's an issue with the turbocharger that caused the explosion, further distancing our Apocalypse Society from any trace!"

Luo Fei was startled and instinctively uttered, "Above here is the residential area, right? Such a large-scale explosion would cause the ground to collapse, bringing down an entire residential building. How many would die?"

Zhang Quan immediately looked at Luo Fei with displeasure, reprimanding, "Why care about a bunch of sinners? Living in this world, their blood flows with sin. They're lost lambs unworthy of the Master's protection!"
