The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 173 I Have a Good Candidate

But when it comes to "cultivating immortality," he actually has some ideas.

Although she is not currently in this field and has not yet found her way, Li Can is willing to try if the opportunity arises in the future.

Human lifespan is finite, and the existence of Earth is also increasingly threatened. He wanted to use more eternal time to explore the unknown.

As Li Can becomes increasingly involved in these apocalyptic-related causal loop dungeon games...

His goal from the beginning was simply to complete more game levels, earn more energy balls, and repair Blue Star as soon as possible so that the garbled cloud could fulfill its promise to send him back to the past.

The task then shifted to finding the weaknesses of the alien imposters and clues about the traitors and lackeys.

Ultimately, he was able to save everything while protecting his family.

If he were an unarmed ordinary person, or just an ordinary superhuman, perhaps he wouldn't think that way.

However, ever since he won a gacha machine lottery and gained a huge amount of goodies at the brink of death, he discovered the true way to play the game, and his ambitions began to grow.

Those thoughts that were buried deep in my heart and that I didn't believe in resurfaced once again.

Li Can knew the saying "With great power comes great responsibility," although he used to scoff at the idea of ​​sacrificing oneself for others.

The same attitude applies now.

...He just wanted to give it a try, in case things succeeded, someone had to be the first to initiate it.

He didn't believe that fate had brought him to this point; he thought it was all a coincidence and that there was a plan in the universe.

"Dora, I'm all ready!" Wang Defa's voice came from above the barrier in the distance.

The two of them had already unknowingly reached the edge of the lower city's barrier.

"Alright, countdown, get ready, three, two, one!" Li Can forcefully shoved the same flag into the barrier.

This time, instead of replacing the flags with light green ones, they are all new colors.

The flag is covered in bright red, with a black circular totem logo in the lower right corner.

If you look closely, you can find the ancient character "爆" in the totem.

As Li Can reminded them, after the countdown ended, explosions occurred at the barriers marked with "Explosion" flags.

This was a real explosion, shaking the entire barrier. Fine, lightning-shaped cracks suddenly appeared on the clouds in the inner sky.

"Success!" Li Can admired his masterpiece with satisfaction.

【Special Ability Egg: Explosion】

[By connecting the flags on all four sides to form a line, the explosive formation is activated. Each use of this formation consumes one-third of the user's physical strength.]

Li Can had used it before and knew that the energy mentioned in the "Explosive Formation" was actually similar to the body's energy level.

After consuming a third of my energy at once, I felt completely drained.

Startled, Li Can quickly retrieved the last remaining golden energy from his consciousness space and replenished it.

Having used two superpowers in succession, he now looked completely drained.

"Why, I still feel like something's off..." Even though Li Can had regained some strength, he still didn't feel as strong as before.

Wang Defa rushed over, still somewhat unsatisfied. This exploding flag made him feel that it was even more straightforward than the previous combo.

He smacked his lips. "Is that all? Seriously, we don't need a few more big explosions?"

"No need."

"These small cracks look like the dark matter has accumulated too much, and it's not only going to destroy the upper city, but also humanity's last remaining lower city habitat," Li Can explained.

"Feng Tian and Yang Mo aren't stupid. The protective shield in the lower city is clearly thicker than that in the upper city. How could it suddenly break down without following the facts?"

"The damage we've caused is already putting us on the verge of being exposed, so we should be careful. It's not time to completely break ties with the dungeon NPCs yet."

Wang Defa touched his chin, which was also covered by the transparent protective suit, with his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

"You've thought things through very well, but I don't think it matters even if they know it was done by someone."

"Natural disasters and man-made calamities... it's only human nature. Even if they wanted to suspect us, they wouldn't suspect us. Which of us looks like we could have such abilities?"

"On the contrary, it will only add to their troubles. Isn't this exactly what you wanted? Ah, a sense of crisis and urgency?"

Li Can gently patted his shoulder, "Ah, right, right, Lao Wang, but we still have to live in the lower city for a while."

"If you're still not satisfied and want to keep blasting, you'll have to go back and bring a group of workers to start digging and building underground barriers."

"We can only take it away when there is enough space to accommodate all of us and a complete supply of living materials."

Wang Defa: "Hey, I was just joking."

Li Can nodded, selected a blank spot without any dark particles, and materialized it as a [coordinate point].

A portal connecting the two sides opened in the void, and Li Can is now quite adept at using this item inherited from the monster.

The smooth operation was just like his own gashapon prop.

However, it is indeed his now, since it was received as an empty gashapon capsule and has already been claimed by its owner.

Li Can and Wang Defa didn't waste any more words this time. After a lot of work, they were both quite tired.

As the two stepped through the portal, their other foot appeared in the laboratory in the lower city a second later.

This is the room where the two interrogated the two men when they left.

"Phew... It really feels like a dream, are we back again?" At Li Can's instruction, Wang Defa hurriedly began to take off his protective suit.

The two of them swiftly stripped themselves completely naked, making it seem as if they had never left the house before.

Li Can took the clothes away, leaving no suspicious traces at the scene.

With the help of various props, Li Can truly succeeded in doing so without anyone noticing.

"Beep beep beep... beep beep beep..." An urgent message suddenly came from the communication device on the arm of Li Can's white mecha suit.

He quickly put on the mech suit and then made the call.

"Hello, it's me." Yang Mo's voice came from the other end, sounding slightly hoarse.

Li Can feigned ignorance: "What's wrong? Is everything going smoothly on your end?"

This time, Shen Yuan interjected, "Brother Xing, something bad has happened! The spatial barrier in our lower city is starting to crack!"

"I suddenly heard a few cracking sounds in the sky, and when I looked up, there were cracks all over the sky, like spider webs. It was terrifying. You should come and join us quickly."

Yang Mo: "Yes, it seems we need to readjust our battle plan now. If something happens in the lower city as well, we can only prepare to resist particulate matter."

Things took a turn for the better as Li Can had predicted. He smiled and said, "Ah, I see. If that's the case, I do have a good candidate in mind."
