The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 190, Day 3941

Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!

Li Can, the last to emerge from the instance, landed back in a familiar spot.

He looked around; this was still inside the first base of Upper Horizon City.

Although the location was different from where he was before entering the instance, it was still considered safe.

After all, before he set off this time, he had already used the puppets to renovate the ruins of the first base, and all the zombies and mutated species that roamed there had been eliminated.

"I hope everything goes smoothly for you when you get back," Li Can murmured to his allies in another time and space, gazing at the still gloomy sky.

The garbled cloud seemed to be able to automatically locate his position. Even from a great distance, Li Can could sense an object moving at high speed rushing towards him.

The moment the two met, the garbled cloud rushed excitedly toward Li Can. Although he couldn't read the expression on its face, judging from its overall reaction, it was overjoyed to see him emerge from the dungeon unharmed.

Your body's reactions don't lie.

Although the garbled cloud was poisoned after the attack on Blue Star and often lost control of itself, it still retained its primal impulses.

Li Can didn't dodge. He knew that the garbled cloud in this state wouldn't harm him, so he let it run wild.

His upper body was enveloped in a soft layer of clouds. The endless stream of random characters had no physical form; they were merely bars and scrambled numbers floating in the air, not real entities, so they couldn't scratch him.

The garbled cloud remained the same size as before Li Can left, like a fluffy and soft pillow, without ever growing larger on its own.

So no matter how enthusiastic it was, it couldn't completely envelop Li Can; it could only barely embrace his upper body.

Just as Li Can was about to speak, he pushed away the garbled cloud.

Two voices then reached my ears at the same time:

"Good morning, humans. Today is the 3,941st day since the apocalypse began. There is currently 1 player remaining in the world."

"What? You want me to write a 10,000-word report on my dungeon experience and upload it? Is this some kind of novel...?"

A mechanical voice, as usual, announced the time from the garbled cloud.

The other voice was a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice. He seemed to be talking to someone else, looking rather overwhelmed.

Luanmayun tried to get closer to Li Can, but he pushed her away.

Li Can completely ignored the time displayed by the garbled cloud. The time spent on this dungeon was both long and short, but fortunately, he managed to complete it in about six days.

He knew perfectly well that the flow of time on his planet, Blue Star, was the same as that in the dungeon game, so there was nothing to convert.

He didn't even use up the time he gained from the last dungeon's orbs, so this time he'll have more time to stay on Earth and search for clues.

This time, it's not just for myself.

His vision has become much longer-term.

When Li Can heard the "male voice" in her ear, she quickly confirmed that it was Zhou Ye's voice.

His eyes lit up.

"It seems that [Eavesdropping on Hairs] is effective. I was stuck in the instance for a long time, while Zhou Ye had already left and returned to Earth. Because there are huge time and space boundaries here, I didn't receive any feedback at the time."

"Now that I've left the instance, after a slight delay, the eavesdropping function has reconnected."

However... Li Can still had some questions in his heart, which he could not answer.

If the game space and the Blue Star are separated by a barrier, it prevents his gacha item [Eavesdropping Hair] from working.

So, is the Blue Star I'm currently in on another timeline completely unaffected by the Blue Star of ten years ago in a parallel universe?

From any angle or dimension, this doesn't make sense...

Li Can then connected the wiretapping incident to the survivor forum software on his phone.

Not only was the eavesdropping successful, but even the mobile phone's communication software operates according to this principle.

The software cannot be used in the game world; it only contains cached files and content.

Once they got to Earth, things returned to normal.

All of this seemed to be pointing out something to Li Can that he had overlooked...

"What is it?" He was completely baffled.

"Mobile phone software can enable real-time communication between two worlds; even eavesdropping on a hair can connect two worlds..."

Initially, Li Can thought that the key to the successful use of the mobile phone was not the phone itself, but the problem with the app "Survivor Forum" that Bai Zhuo had downloaded for him.

Furthermore, he explained that the software was developed by his organization, and he directly attributed this ingenuity to Bai Zhuo's supernatural ability.

Things may be different now.

"Ultimately, these two things have something in common: whether it's a cell phone or a hair used for eavesdropping, they're both gashapon items I got from a gashapon machine..."

"So, it seems that what's really awesome isn't the cloudy liquid, but the gashapon machine, huh..."

This was the first time Li Can had considered something at this level.

Now, experimental experience has confirmed that his props were extraordinary.

This gashapon machine has an added layer of mystery.

Li Can couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"This means that, in a certain sense, my gashapon machine is at a level that surpasses the timelines of all timelines on Earth."

"But it is also suppressed within the world of the dungeon game."

"As for those alien pseudo-humans, although they are the masterminds behind the dungeon game, for unknown reasons, they do not have the greater power to tamper with the game."

"It can be said that we are now treated on the same level as all other humans on Earth, and we are helpless in the face of the game's mechanics."

"Furthermore, they don't have the ability of a gashapon machine to reach into my space-time... This means their level is below my gashapon machine ability."

"No, not necessarily. Those three ill-intentioned access cards they sent out were just the first test."

"If I really manage to bring the pass out of the dungeon and here, the outcome is hard to say... So, the alien pseudo-human's strength might be on par with the gashapon machine's ability, and it shouldn't be underestimated."

Underestimating the enemy is a major taboo, but fortunately Li Can was cautious enough that even if those three cards were... But he gave up.

One wrong move and you could lose the whole game, and even bring disaster upon yourself.

He has to be extremely careful.

Furthermore, having become the winner of this [Mysterious City] dungeon, in addition to obtaining the Quantity Orb, I will also receive many items and superpower rewards, enough to offset the heartache of losing those three cards.

Secondly, this is an SSS-level dungeon, so the dungeon rewards will definitely include a pass card reward.

You're guaranteed a spot in the next new dungeon, so there's no need to hesitate too much.

Moreover, the final pass was not wasted, as it brought him three reliable allies.

"Aaaaaah... I should have never gone into the dungeon in the first place, even if you killed me. Is a good person going to write a 10,000-word review?" Zhou Ye's wailing rang out again.

Li Can could tell from Zhou Ye's surroundings that they were in a quiet indoor environment.

He had been talking to someone and giving instructions, but after they left, he began to wallow in his sorrow.

The resentment in her voice could no longer be concealed.
