The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 176 The Chrysalis

The moment the city gates swung open, the dense, dark particles, like locusts swarming across the area, suddenly invaded the barrier.

Fortunately, they were prepared.

To be precise, the former city lord was prepared.

The city gate barrier is not just one layer. In order to prevent riots by the people in the lower city and to deal with security crises, the barrier here is not only more solid, but also has an additional layer on the outside.

Soldiers equipped with various types of device converters were safely embedded within them.

The main force moved forward quickly without delay, streaks of yellowish-brown light flashing through the air.

After passing straight through two layers of barriers, it completely disappeared at the city gate of the lower city.

Li Can manipulated the joystick, and the aircraft whooshed along with the group.

"Phew... This feels completely different from when I entered here before." Li Can slowly exhaled as he sat in the single-person cabin.

It must be admitted that A-Zhu is quite capable with his hands.

What was originally just a rudimentary sketch has now been completely built up and transformed into a real machine, which looks somewhat unreal.

Li Can sensed the accumulation of dark particles in the outer city from his line of sight.

He deliberately did not use his night vision ability, but only used the exploration and detection functions of his own aircraft.

Through the technological glasses on his face, all he could see was a hazy, dim gray, within which the location of his teammates using other driving converters could be detected by scanners.

It's even more advanced than thermal imaging; it can show the general posture of the human body.

Even the overall outline of other flight converters can be clearly distinguished.

"Beep beep beep..." The communicator on Li Can's arm beeped again.

"Test, test, report the numbers from each point." It was A-Zhu's voice coming from inside, sounding a little nervous.

This is a collective communication channel; if one person speaks, everyone can hear them.

"Unit 1 is safe. The conversion function test is normal. It has been officially put into operation. Report complete."

"Unit 2..."

"..."

"Unit 47 is operating normally." The unit piloted by Li Can was the last in its sequence, and its completion signified the complete success of the operation.

The communicator was filled with the sounds of human breathing and panting; it was clear that everyone was excited and had mixed feelings.

Those who stayed behind in the lower city, in particular, clenched their fists tightly, their palms drenched in sweat.

"Thank you all for your cooperation. The rest of the time depends on you. The city gate barrier will reopen in two hours. I hope everyone can return safely." Azhu's voice choked slightly.

"Beep beep beep..."

The communication device completely shut down the group chat channel, and the cockpit returned to silence.

Li Can piloted the aircraft, "cocooning" in an ocean filled with dark particles. That's right, you could say the word "flying" was completely unnecessary.

The other members were in similar situations.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. With the outer armor coating, which combined golden energy and soil, as protection, they were completely safe.

The main power core in the cabin is actually the fragments of the old city lord's body.

Through these tiny fragments, combined with the device's transformation, a large number of dark particles were successfully dissolved, eventually turning into streams of golden energy, which were then loaded into a huge storage tank.

The total number of conversion aircraft devices dispatched for this first attempt was limited to forty-seven.

Although the number doesn't seem very large,

However, the changes it brought to the upper town were still considerable.

The dark particles in the area at the entrance to the lower city barrier were dissolving and decreasing at a visible rate.

Gradually, a corner of the ground that was originally in the upper city was revealed again.

Sitting in the cockpit performing energy conversion work can actually be a bit tedious once everything is on track.

It mainly relies on the instrument itself to operate, and the driver only has the role of controlling the direction and adapting to changing circumstances.

Li Can watched the various types of flying machines coming and going around him, feeling as if he were watching little bees diligently collecting nectar in a garden.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Dazhuang, how's it going on your end?" Yang Mo opened his private communication and connected to Li Can's channel.

Li Can didn't directly open the response link to communicate with him in real time, but instead calmly yawned.

He's busy right now.

The native NPCs come out to clean up particulate matter and convert it into golden energy, mainly to protect their homeland.

But he was different; he mainly came out to buy goods.

Last time, he managed to get some golden energy from the monsters through the [Mirror of Past Lives].

After activating the [All Things Containment and Replacement Technique] once, not only were all the zombie crystal cores used up, but the golden energy was also depleted.

Now that he's finally got a chance, he's determined to go all out and buy a lot of goods.

Others have a low conversion rate; they're lucky if they can fill half the storage bin in half a day.

However, when it comes to Li Can, it's like he's turned on five times the speed. The ultimate secret lies in the fact that he can continuously multiply and grow the old city lord's corpse fragments, increasing the prerequisites for conversion.

Li Can shifted to a more comfortable position, leaning back in the cockpit chair, fiddling with the gashapon shell that had just been used.

[Supply Egg: Breeding Culture Medium]

[By adding this solution to the experimental subjects in a certain proportion, an explosive increase in volume can be achieved. Of course, the culture media will also continuously culture each other. Be careful not to leak it all.]

With this final warning in mind, Li Can certainly wouldn't dare to pour out and use all the culture medium at once.

As long as they remain in the accompanying gashapon capsules, they are safe and will retain their original size.

If you pour it all out, it will become like the warning described, with the culture media culturing each other, and then the situation will be terrible.

However, using just one or two drops is fine.

Now, through his experiments, a single drop is enough to change the size of a mouse-sized piece of corpse five times.

This is why, even though they all came out to clear away the dark energy at the same time, Li Can's flight conversion device suffered more mechanical wear and tear than everyone else's.

He found a remote area and enjoyed the "experience" all by himself, constantly absorbing particulate matter and transferring the golden energy from the storage container to his empty capsules, storing them one by one.

He has to keep a close watch on it all the time, constantly transferring things from one hand to the other, otherwise the storage container is at risk of bursting at any moment.

In other words, with so many people around, everyone could tell each other's situation. Even if Li Can hid his aircraft "in a cocoon" in a very far place, he still couldn't avoid being discovered.

While he was still pondering how to get things done quickly and efficiently, Yang Mo's communication interrupted his thoughts.

Li Can stretched her body, changed her posture, and sent a voice message:

"Everything's fine. How about you?"

Yang Mo replied quickly, but it seemed that his focus was not on this, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Dazhuang, have you noticed? The upper city... seems to be completely gone..."
