The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 144 The Last Carnival Before the Apocalypse

Such a massive creature has never been seen in either the lower or upper city.

They had never seen anything like it before.

This directly demonstrates that Li Can is no ordinary person.

The vultures' origin and the crystal cores that can revive the dying all came from him. How could Feng Tian and the others not be impressed?

On the surface, Feng Tian was praising the bird, appearing as if she had never seen anything like it before and found it very novel. In reality, while stroking the vulture's feathers, she secretly plucked a few feathers from the bird and held them in her hand when no one was looking.

"Wow, that's amazing! I never imagined there would be such a strange beast. We've only ever seen them in the Classic of Mountains and Seas before." She exclaimed, silently stuffing the feather into A-Zhu's hand.

Then he winked at him, signaling him to secretly check it out.

Even though they might not be able to find anything during the tests, they were still very curious.

Li Can: "..."

He didn't show it on his face, but he had actually noticed Feng Tian's little tricks long ago.

He could fully sense the vulture's senses from the few times she plucked its feathers. In normal life, he usually didn't turn off his senses; he only chose to block them during battle.

Otherwise, the pain emanating from the vultures all around him would converge on him alone, potentially killing him.

"Come in, come in, let's talk inside. It's so good to see you back," Feng Tian greeted from the doorway.

Seeing that the vulture's influence had spread far enough, Li Can put it back into the puppet egg.

The enormous body vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.

Everyone was incredibly surprised.

"This is shocking! The world is really about to change..." Someone in the crowd muttered this remark.

Currently, on this suburban street near the Baijie Hotel, most of those who can claim territory are mechs from the rebel organization, while the remaining spaces are occupied by the original inhabitants of the lower city who used to work and relax here.

As for those from the upper city, they were all driven to even more remote and desolate places. Now they are far away from the mecha organizations that have a voice, and they can't even make a phone call to convey their opinions.

They could only huddle together and fight amongst themselves.

This is why they harbor such resentment.

They, who were once high and mighty, now have their treatment reduced. When they see Yang Mo in his mecha suit, they are like wolves seeing rabbits.

Instantly, the floodgates opened, and complaints and rants poured in like hairs on a cow.

At Feng Tian's direction, the group walked into the lobby of the Baijie Hotel.

They have completely taken over this place.

Li Can looked around the restaurant's interior furnishings; among the unfamiliar faces, there wasn't a single one of his own.

Through the closed glass door, his eyesight was excellent, and he finally saw Wang Defa and the others, whom he had not seen for a long time, among the layers of people from the lower city outside.

Huang Xiaoqi stood alone in the crowd, her eyes glazed over, Xing Tiantian nowhere to be seen.

The moment Li Can saw them, he realized that Xing Tiantian was dead. Now that the passage between the upper and lower city was closed, the illusion of the eerie lair would no longer be operated by anyone.

Then the spirits will naturally disappear.

Now, those guests who were originally wearing strange suits have all materialized and come here in their own human form, carrying their belongings from the famine and in the same human form as the original inhabitants of the lower city.

For the indigenous people, this was nothing short of a huge psychological blow.

No one could accept that.

Their worldview, rules, and principles were shattered overnight and then reshaped, forcing them to accept change.

Even with repeated interference from mental pollution, it is now difficult to control their minds.

After all, those uninvited guests who suddenly "visit" live openly and unreservedly on the same land.

It's hard to ignore.

Not to mention they weren't really stupid. After they came to their senses and understood what had happened, they were forced to accept that the outside world was in complete chaos.

Whether it's them or the strange guests from the past.

We are all inevitably facing one thing together: the invasion of dark particles.

If this problem cannot be solved, no one will survive.

The lower city is the last line of defense.

If we can't hold on, then this moment is the last hurrah before the end of the world.

Many people had already given up hope, but just at this moment, Li Can and his group emerged from the [Mirror of Past Lives] like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

With an overwhelming, sky-covering aura, riding a giant vulture, it announced to everyone without warning:

There's someone here who's "cheating," so don't panic, the situation is still uncertain.

The reason why Li Can chose to stop hiding his strength now and "appropriately" show some of it to them is not only to serve as a stepping stone for Feng Tian and Yang Mo, but also to stabilize public sentiment and prevent chaos from the beginning.

The problem has now escalated significantly. In the [Mirror of the Past], Li Can planned to directly use the "Five Elements Mutual Restraint" device to "leave the city" from the upper city through the external barrier and ultimately complete the dungeon mission.

Even though the goal was clear, he was still unsure and only guessing before conducting any experiments.

If the upper city remains undamaged, he will have multiple opportunities to try and fail, just like before.

Based on the current situation, and his own later reflections and experience, Li Can believes that the "leaving the city" mission in this instance is still not as simple as it seems on the surface.

There are definitely some "pitfalls" waiting for all dungeon players to fall into.

He knows slightly more information than others, but that doesn't guarantee success.

They might even die quickly or pass away early due to information asymmetry.

This is what makes SSS-level dungeons so terrifying and abnormal.

Li Can withdrew his fleeting gaze and followed the crowd toward the backyard of the Baijie Hotel.

This old suburban street, which has not yet been demolished, has already been transformed into the new meeting place of the city lord's mansion, with very comprehensive security measures in place around it.

To prevent trouble from the native inhabitants of the lower city and the people of the upper city, all the mechs in the rebel organization are now on high alert.

It was even more serious and detail-oriented than the day of the official uprising.

"We've officially escaped from the old city lord's mirror this time and have gathered a lot of information. Originally, we planned to explore the world step by step and release these key points, but now, after discussion, let's start the plan directly." Li Can said, gesturing to Yang Mo and the others.

In the backyard of Baijie Restaurant, which was originally used for cutting ingredients, Yang Mo placed a piece of white paper that could cover the entire tabletop at a specific angle on a large wooden table covered with bloodstains.

They had taken this from the old city lord's study when they fled from the upper city.

Then, Li Lan took out a black marker and began to write and draw on it, making the ideas that the four of them originally communicated in the third act more concrete and realistic.

Feng Tian, ​​A Zhu, and the others looked at the somewhat familiar diagram of the device on the table with solemn expressions.

"This is……?"
