Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

John stepped into the sewers again. he ade his way to the spot where he previously left off and was pleased to see most of the newly uncovered tunnels were still standing. He wondered what there might be to find at this depth. He might even find the lost city of the molemen. Briefly chuckling at his own quip, John almost caught himself wandering into one of the myriad tunnels that were in sight.
He wondered how he got there. He hadn't decided on any particular direction to go towards, but it was like he was mindlessly drawn towards random directions. As his higher brain functions wee quickly disabled, he noticed a sign next to a broken pipe warning for hallucogenic gas. Though after that, he mostly just wandered around in a drugged out stupor.
He was pretty sure that at least one of the apperitions in his current mental state might just be the real deal, so he carefully reached for his weapon. All the while making sure he grabbed the armament in the right orientation as to not shoot himself like an idiot.

Oh come on! A tank? Seriously?! How did a vehicle of that size even get down here without making the entire place collapse. Whatever contrivance had caused it to end up down here, there was little time for John to give it much thought. Not that he was currently capable of such mental exercises.
John haphazardly fired his shotgun somewhere in the general directio of what he though to be the armored vehicle. It appeared his hallucinating mind, befuddled as it currently was, was quite incapable of differentiating between imaginary threats and Actual physical threats. Whatever John though he had been firing upon quickly faded from his clouded memory.
The panzer seemed to have been quite bewildered by John's bizarre behaviour. Whatever it must have thought at the time must have led it to the conclusion that apparant insanity was no excuse for mercy upon an intruder. It shot a fireball at John, who was still aimlessly stumbing about. His scuttled mind interpreted the encroaching wall fo fire as a vibrant fireworks display. It left John petrified like a rabbit being shone on by headlights. His faulty interpretation of the attack soon became apparant as the fire singed his more exposed body parts and created scorch marks on his armor.
The whimsical disposition John had displayed up until that point was gone now. Replaced with anger at the source of the painful fireworks display. "Hey, You have any idea how hard it is to get scorch marks out of your clothes. You probably don't, because you're some supernatural monster, but let me assure you it's very hard to do." John fired upon what seemed like the right target again, but instead hit a pillar somewhere to the left of the tank. The shadow itself seemed quite unimpressed by the human's nonsensical leaps of logic and general lack of coherence.
The shadow decided to fire again to see what kind of batshit reaction a different attack would elicit from John. It fired a beam of purifying light whihc pierced right through John. He flinched for a moment, glaring at where he believed his attacker to be."What a great day it's been so far! It's like only the second worst day in my life. Not the worst! Just the second worst!" The shadiw almost seeed to be entertained at this nonsensical blabbering, There was little other reason why it would have dropped its gaurd when it did. This was its fatal and final istake, though not for the reasons that would be expected.
the pillar John had hit earlier had slowly continued to break, the ceiling slowly starting to fall down alongside it. When the panzer realized the corridor was collapsing, It was already to late. The local avalanche battered and trashed it to death, completely burying the remains as well. The collapse had also stirred up a tidal wave in the sewage water which effortlessly picked John up and ejected him out of the lower tunnels and back into the second stratum.

Despite just being hit with a tidal wave of raw sewage, John's hallucinations had not yet abated. As he stumbled through the levels he was quite sure he smelt something lovely, like a fresh spring morning. He decided to end on a high note and retreatdd back to the inner circle. As he made his wa back up to the surface, he noticed what shadows he encountered seemed to be repulsed by him for some reason. they had long since stopped attacking him unless provoked due to differences in power.
It was only when he woke up the next morning that he realized the 'fresh spring perfume' was a now hardened layer of various undesirable substances found in sewage. John did not want to think too much about t and hurriedly got into a shower, cursing both the hallucogenic gas and the endless cavalcade of other occurences that kept covering him in filth like this.
