The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 166 Eating and Taking

Although they have the means to fly, they currently lack a fuel supply.

The conditions in the lower city were already harsh, with only a few essential supplies left there by the old city lord.

And a batch of materials they took with them when they hastily moved to the city.

Due to the limited time available, many things could not be delivered to the lower town in time. It took a long time just to move the residents of the upper town in.

The best way to get around downtown now, besides walking, is by those few increasingly rare gasoline-powered cars.

Core supplies such as gasoline were firmly in the hands of Feng Tian and her team, which they used to transport and relocate large quantities of equipment.

Even if we use it sparingly, the supply is gradually running out, and the situation is not optimistic.

Right now, they are in a very passive position.

Unbeknownst to them, Happy Playground had become their new stronghold.

Shen Yuan and Li Lan didn't think much of Feng Tian's questioning.

Li Lan remained silent, only grabbing the miniature vulture that had shrunk in size on her shoulder, placing it in her palm, and showing it to her.

Shen Yuan explained from the side, "Oh dear, this was sent out by Brother Xing to help us later. He was interrogating that mole in the lab, and after he went in, he sent Vulture out so as not to affect the process outside."

"We're flying in the sky to get there, while you're running on the ground—no, you're crawling along at the snail's pace. If you slow down any further, we'll both arrive earlier than you."

"Haha, if that were the case, we might have put the city lord's body in the ice coffin and turned back the way we came."

"It's just that we've already started moving with their equipment, so we're not going to bother anymore. Anyway, the original research institute's space is indeed not enough. Now that we've cleared out Happy Amusement Park, it will be much, much bigger."

"I see a lot of discarded equipment here. After melting it down, we should be able to make quite a few weapons and devices..." Shen Yuan rattled off a bunch of things, and everyone suddenly realized what she meant.

Li Lan nodded in agreement. There were still traces of blood splattered on her body from when she killed someone earlier. Now, the smell wafted through the tent and mixed with the stench of the old city lord's corpse, making it impossible to tell which smelled which.

"That's right, that's how it is," she added.

This was the first time Feng Tian and the others had ever seen a vulture shrink to such a small size. Previously, they had only seen some surveillance footage through the perspective of Li Can's puppet.

There was never a clear concept of just how tiny vultures can shrink to, but now I've finally seen it for myself.

Feng Tian: "If it's there, then it's not surprising."

"...So, whatever we're saying or doing here, Xing Dazhuang can see it all directly."

"Except for not being able to have real-time conversations or exchange information with us, everything else is live-streamed?"

Li Lan placed the baby vulture back onto the special viewing seat on his shoulder and positioned it correctly. "Yes, when we encountered it outside, we simply explained our situation, and the vulture instantly grew larger and flew away with us."

Everything was done in silence, the meaning of which was self-evident.

In the eyes of the indigenous people, Li Can's superpower was simply the greatest black technology in history, far exceeding all limits.

Feng Tian sighed, "It is indeed very good. It would be even more convenient if we could communicate directly with each other. Right now, there are still some constraints."

Yang Mo stood beside the ice coffin, only glancing at their situation at the tent entrance before focusing most of his attention on the changes in the city lord's corpse. He then added "The Apocalypse Begins with a Dungeon Game" to his collection, ready to continue reading anytime, anywhere.

Seeing that the corpse's condition finally began to stabilize and stopped its bizarrely accelerated decomposition, they were relieved.

"How many vehicles do we have now that can carry people for experiments?" he asked, looking up.

Ah Zhu quickly stepped back and checked the data on her arm. "Given the current scarcity of materials and the losses incurred by labor, we can keep about fifteen that can be used directly."

With A-Zhu around, their construction speed is truly amazing, they're on the fast track in no time.

"Yes, that's enough. Let's proceed with the first batch of dark particle cleanup experiments now. We can't delay any longer."

Everyone knew that the bodies couldn't wait, so there were no objections, and the resolution was passed unanimously.

The indigenous people shifted their battlefield and began to occupy Happy Amusement Park, where they officially dismembered the city lord into pieces.

Each component shares common characteristics as either an energy conversion device for an aircraft or a device that operates on the ground.

Everyone is now eager to get started and prepare to make a big splash by opening the passageways between the upper and lower cities and letting the relevant drivers go out to test things out for themselves.

Despite the high level of danger, this still cannot stop everyone from wanting to change their current situation of being forced to wander around by the dark particles.

……

Li Can was still in the laboratory where Wang Defa was being interrogated.

He kept a close eye on the messages relayed back by the vultures outside, afraid of missing any crucial clues.

After discovering the unusual decomposition of the city lord's corpse, he pondered for a moment and concluded that it was probably caused by something deep underground.

To avoid being discovered, Wang Defa buried the corpse extremely deep when he stole it.

If we're talking about what exactly affects the corpse underground, Li Can think the most likely explanation is that semi-circular barrier.

This is exactly what he's considering now.

Li Can knew that his empty capsule toy could contain everything, and so far he hadn't encountered anything he couldn't put inside.

He planned to try to move the remaining intact underground portion away, given the damaged barrier.

Previously, the barrier was completely intact, so he had no chance. Now that the situation has changed, he can give it a try.

"What? You mean the two of us are carrying everyone away to this upper city, not only to completely blast open the already cracked barrier, but also to go underground and take the underground barrier with us?"

Wang Defa couldn't believe it. He looked at Li Can as if he were looking at a monster. What kind of brain circuit could come up with such an extreme plan?

"I say, Peach Blossom, is it really worth taking such a big risk? Besides, the way to open the city gate is known to their leader, and we can't go to the upper city anyway."

Li Can shook his head. "We don't need to rely on others. I have a faster way to take you and me between the two cities."

Wang Defa was still hesitant, somewhat unsure of the situation.

"So, go to the upper city and destroy the barrier you can, and try to take what's good. What use is this for our dungeon game? You mentioned before that our goals might eventually differ from the NPCs'. Is that related to doing this?"

"Not only the upper city, but also the lower city's barrier must be broken. What we ultimately need is not just a middle gate connecting the two cities, but a vast territory that is completely open."
