The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 104 A Big Event, Watching the Outcome

Li Lan is very prudent in his work. By simply handling the entrance like this, the other indigenous people won't pay too much attention to it.

She was fully prepared to go to the upper city with her brother Li Can, and she didn't know how long this trip would take.

Everything there is unknown, and it might even be more dangerous than staying in the lower town.

It was hot and humid.

After passing through the gate, the three of them seemed to have passed through a tunnel where they couldn't see their surroundings, with light and shadow fluttering past like butterfly wings.

They seemed to have stood still for a long time, or perhaps they were wandering through nothingness.

Time loses its meaning here.

Only when that feeling of emptiness was replaced by a sense of groundedness did they finally cross from the first coordinate point to the second corresponding coordinate point.

Stepping out of the suddenly opened gate, Li Can's first impression was that the temperature here was much higher than in the lower city.

"Where is this?" Shen Yuan was the last one to be carried in by Li Lan, so she was not clear about their previous analysis and was slightly confused at the moment.

However, they quickly became familiar with the environment.

"Is this inside the City Lord's Mansion?" Although she had expected it, as commoners in the upper city, they would never have the chance to enter this place in their lives; they had only seen a little bit of it on television programs.

That one point alone is enough to make it memorable.

"It should be that we've arrived in the upper town."

Li Can surveyed her surroundings.

This is a private study filled with all sorts of books and documents, as well as construction plans for the Upper City.

The room was very spacious, empty and clean.

If you speak even slightly loudly, you can hear your own echo.

The most striking feature is the uniform style of the city lord's mansion's interior design. The house uses a mortise and tenon structure, and every pillar and beam is carved with totems.

Although the exterior decoration of the window is made of wood, the main body is still glass, and it is not completely replicated with oil paper or similar materials.

The wide-open portal only existed for a few seconds before closing completely, reverting to the red coordinates they had seen in the lower city.

Li Can sensed the location of the other coordinate point that he had already collected; it was still there, quite far away.

He can take it back immediately and summon it back to his side whenever he wants.

However, it seems better to stay in the lower city for now. He plans to go back later, so he can't just change his location casually.

As for the new coordinate point in front of them, after regaining their freedom, the presence of Shen Yuan and Li Lan, strangers, instantly reignited their flames.

It repeatedly charged around the study like a small fireball, driving the two away.

They ignored Li Can completely, as if he didn't exist.

"Help! Brother Xing, these red dots are even scarier than the ones on the ground!" Shen Yuan couldn't run anymore, so Li Lan carried her on his back.

Li Can knew that the thing wasn't attacking him because of its item sensing ability, so he acted quickly, taking out a new empty capsule toy and aiming it at the thing.

This time, he didn't need the three-dimensional space pollution cannon to subdue it; he easily subdued it.

In this way, Li Can will be able to officially control this thing to enter and exit the upper and lower cities, and will no longer have to be passive and ask others for help.

To be fair, the old city lord did have quite a few good things around him; this was just the tip of the iceberg, enough to make Li Can happy for half a day.

I wonder if he'll faint from anger when he sees his coordinates being forcibly transferred.

"Great, put me down now." Shen Yuan watched as Li Can subdued the creature and then released it again. She thanked Li Lan, who was carrying her, "Thanks to you just now, you really worked hard."

Now that the coordinates are consciously controlled by the owner, they will not attack others randomly.

Indiscriminate attacks will only occur when Li Can is not present and no friendly targets are set.

Compared to before, it's incredibly docile, like a well-behaved baby.

"Brother Xing, you're amazing!"

Shen Yuan exclaimed sincerely, "You two are really too strong. Now I'm starting to question my existence. By the way, this coordinate point looks like a technological product created unique to the City Lord's Mansion."

"There are no such high-tech products on the market right now, it's amazing." She curiously reached out to touch the coordinate point, which was now lukewarm and not hot at all.

"It seems so." Li Lan took her hand down and wiped it with a white tissue he found on the table. "It's best not to touch it, in case it's poisonous."

"Oh, I didn't realize that... I'll never touch things like that again."

"It's alright, just be careful."

Li Can released the shrunken vulture puppet, which passed through the study door and patrolled the entire city lord's mansion.

Outside the study was a huge garden, with artificial hills and flowing water, looking very vibrant.

There was no one guarding the area; it was as quiet as a deserted palace.

He frowned and manipulated the puppet to continue exploring further.

Finally, voices could be heard from the houses behind the series of outdoor building corridors.

The grand hall, resembling a magnificent palace, had doors that opened outwards.

The smell of blood was very strong.

The corpses were piled up into small mountains, and the flowing blood kept seeping into the ground, completely submerged in the stench of decay.

The fallen corpses were broken into irregular pieces, mostly security personnel from the city lord's mansion wearing uniforms.

Among them were a very few rare corpses of young people in white mechs. Judging from their appearance and attire, it was clear that two groups had fought each other, with the mechs ultimately gaining the upper hand.

The vultures passed by their mangled limbs and entered the main hall. If one were not careful about the season, they might mistake it for an ancient world.

But all the people standing inside were dressed in modern style.

"Now that things have come to this, I really didn't expect you to show up at this time. Weren't you hiding well? Were you afraid that I would kill everyone? Is that why you stepped forward?" The young man in the lead patted the old city lord's face with the unsharpened back of his sword.

His tone was somewhat playful.

At this point, the forces of the City Lord's Mansion were no match for Yang Mo's side.

Their mechs were far too advanced; in combat, they crushed their way in with overwhelming force.

The people of Uptown, who live in a time of peace, have never seen such methods before.

Yang Mo led everyone on their way, killing everyone in their path and leaving no survivors.

As a result, there are very few forces left to help, and the city lord stands alone amidst layers of encirclement, with no one left to rely on.

Li Can switched the puppet's perspective to his own and said to Li Lan and Shen Yuan beside him, "Let's go, I think I've found Yang Mo."

They hadn't expected that after working so hard for most of the day, they would end up getting into the city on their own, without ever using Yang Mo's connections.

"Yang Mo? He broke in?" Shen Yuan hurriedly searched around the study for a suitable weapon to defend himself.

Li Lan's wrist joints clicked as he moved them. "How's the situation? Is it looking optimistic?"

"Hmm, this looks like something big is about to happen." Li Can walked ahead, opened the study door, and led the way. "It's time for us to witness the final outcome."
