The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 164 How about we secretly kill those NPC leaders?

Wang Defa jumped up from the ground with a "whoosh".

He walked up to Li Can, many words stuck in his throat, and after holding them in for a long time, he finally blurted them out:

"Peach Blossom, I used to have prejudices against you, but now I truly understand you."

"Thank you for being willing to put aside past grievances and give me another chance to be a decent human being."

"I, Wang Defa, have decided you're my brother!"

Li Can's eye twitched slightly, and he gave an awkward laugh. "What chance to start over... it's not that serious. It all depends on your choice."

"At least we humans are allies on the same side. Although there may be twists and turns in the process, we are ultimately not on the same path as the pseudo-humans."

Destroying Earth would do them no good; even as traitors and lackeys incubated by the false man, their ultimate fate would be death.

Li Can didn't believe that the fake people would be so kind as to rescue and take away the tools they had been used after everything was over, and send them to another place where people could settle down and make a living.

It will most likely become a useless piece and be tossed aside.

Fortunately, under his leadership and through a thorough investigation, Wang Defa gradually realized the seriousness of the situation.

This dialogue was not merely Li Can's one-sided interrogation and extraction of information from Wang Defa; it was also the beginning of Wang Defa's "ideological enlightenment."

Li Can knew that the road ahead would become increasingly difficult; he would not only have to survive in different instances, but also make sure to obtain the quantity orbs.

At the same time, they also have to fight against the traps set up in advance by the fakes and the henchmen they have planted.

Ten years ago, you couldn't completely trust what the officials on Earth said; everyone could be a spy or a fake alien in disguise.

"Well, I've decided you're my brother. When I get back to Earth, I'll tell my other brothers that you're our big brother." Wang Defa said smugly.

Although he looked much older than Li Can, he had spent many years struggling in the city's underworld and always carried a natural sense of chivalry and loyalty.

This is more like a youthful spirit.

It's truly remarkable that you can still retain this quality at this stage of life.

Li Can looked at the fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, the dried and mottled white hair gel on his hair, and the silver streaks at his temples, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

That's why Wang Defa has so many loyal followers...

His expression was vivid; he seemed to have regained his vitality, and his eyes were bright as he looked at himself.

"It's too early to think about this now. After leaving the lab, we still need to figure out how to get past the dungeon NPCs. After all, they really want to kill you, the traitor who stole the corpse." Li Can poured cold water on him at the right time to calm him down.

Wang Defa immediately shut down, his two sparse, messy eyebrows drooping downwards.

"Ah... I almost forgot about that. Right now, it's just the two of us good brothers who have reached an agreement, but those guys outside don't think so..."

"Yes." Li Can nodded.

Without his real-time, vulture-like perspective, no one else in the lab could see what was happening inside.

When this place was first built, it was thanks to A-Zhu and his group transporting a large amount of high-grade building materials from before the collapse of the upper city that it was able to be successfully constructed.

It is a genuine, impenetrable, sealed chamber.

This is why, after Feng Tian and the others handed over the task of interrogating Wang Defa to Li Can, they all felt at ease and went off to develop a way to combat the dark particles of Shangcheng.

They weren't worried at all about what could possibly happen here.

Fortunately, everyone's attention is now focused on the reunion of the old city lord's body and the device, and no one is distracted here.

Wang Defa was somewhat worried. "What should we do then...? How about we secretly kill those NPCs who are leading the group? That way, no one will object."

Before Li Can could even speak, he immediately dismissed his own thoughts, "No, no, what if one of them is the key to helping us finish the dungeon? If one of them dies, we're doomed."

"How about you secretly open the door in a bit, and I'll take the opportunity to run away? Anyway, I have earth-type abilities, so I can burrow underground. I won't die even if I live underground all year round. Just prepare some food for me."

"That way, you can go back and explain to them that I ran away."

Anyway, they can't catch me, and they probably won't have time to look for me again...

"Then, once you successfully complete the dungeon and the game mission is accomplished, I can use the [Pass Card] in my hand to exit the game directly."

"How about it? This is absolutely perfect."

Wang Defa was impressed by his own thinking, his face full of pride. He looked at Li Can like a child waiting for praise.

Countless thoughts flashed through Li Can's mind as he searched for and captured them.

"It is possible, but..."

He spoke while thinking.

Since Wang Defa was able to burrow underground and live freely within it.

Furthermore, the biggest challenge in this dungeon, "Dark Particles," is weak against "Earth."

Ordinary people certainly cannot travel underground; to leave the upper city and walk through the dark particles, one must use a complex device.

Wang Defa now has an obvious advantage that remains to be explored.

"Perhaps we can stage a surrender ceremony," Li Can said slowly.

"To be granted amnesty?"

"Yes, with your abilities, you're definitely not just good at stealing corpses. Your potential is very high," Li Can explained.

"You were able to burrow underground with a corpse before, so what if you were carrying a living person? Could you remain unharmed?"

Wang Defa looked somewhat embarrassed. "When I was fighting zombies before, I used to lead my underlings to burrow underground to save our lives. If we couldn't win, we would just run away."

"It means that outside of the radiation range of about 50 centimeters around me, I am protected by the same energy, but outside of that range, things are a bit terrible."

"So, it's possible, but it might be quite ineffective... After I led my men ashore, many of them were rubbed raw and bloody from the particles in the ground."

"It takes a long time just to treat superficial injuries, and severe cases can even lead to disfigurement."

"Later, when I wanted to help them escape, they all waved their hands and said no."

"But I think that if we had full-body armor, with protective masks and stuff like the white mechs I saw you guys wearing, we could probably avoid that."

Li Can listened quietly. "Hmm, that does seem feasible. What's the maximum number of people you can take underground at once?"

"I haven't tried the maximum limit. The most I've ever seen is the one time I mentioned, when there were sixteen people besides me."

"Hmm, have you ever tried to pass directly through the underground of the lower city to reach another space?" Li Can knew that both the upper and lower cities had knots.

The reason for asking this question is that he has only conducted on-site surveys of the height above the sky and cannot cross the barrier. The protection is very deep, but he cannot measure the depths below the ground. More experimental cases are needed.
