The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 191 Red Star

Then, they heard rustling sounds coming from the other end of the line.

It seemed that Zhou Ye was rummaging through the drawer for something.

After a while, the sound of typing came from the phone. The dial tone only beeped for a few seconds before it was answered.

"Hey, Li Lan, did you receive any notification from above when you got back?"

"I just reported that we encountered Peach Blossom in the dungeon, and who would have thought that the leader would ask me to write a 10,000-word summary of the dungeon experience."

"They also had to describe every single detail without missing a single word... Who could do that? They even had me locked up in my dormitory and not allowed me to go out."

"It looks like they're guarding prisoners."

On the other end of the phone, a familiar female voice came from Li Lan.

Although the information transmitted back to Li Can through the whispers of his hair was very unclear, his hearing was excellent, and he still managed to make out the general idea.

"Yes, I'm in a similar situation to you, also with a 10,000-word writing assignment."

She had barely finished her first sentence when it sounded like someone had snatched her phone away, and the audio was somewhat noisy and chaotic.

"I'm sorry, Deputy Captain Li, but we've been instructed from above not to allow you to use communication tools to exchange information with each other."

"What does this mean?" Li Lan's voice was cold, suppressing his anger.

"We risked our lives on the front lines, and now we're going to come back and be interrogated like criminals? How interesting."

Another completely unfamiliar voice continued to answer, neither humble nor arrogant.

"This only happens during the period when you are writing your summary of the copy experience. It will return to normal after you submit it. You don't need to worry about that."

"Then I'll take your phone and keep it for you."

"I'm sorry."

"#……#**……"

After a period of static, the phone seemed to have been hung up on from the other end.

"Feed? Hello, feed..." Zhou Ye called the phone several times, but no one responded.

Then, Li Can heard him seem to take a deep breath and very quickly start dialing another phone number.

"Beep... Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

"Damn it!" he cursed.

"Squeak..." The door was opened from the outside.

A male voice, slightly more respectful than that of the guards on Li Lan's side, came over.

"Secretary Zhou, I'm so sorry, this is my first time on this kind of mission, and I forgot to collect your phone. I'll come and get it now."

"It was mainly arranged by our superiors, I..."

Zhou Ye: "Take it away, take it away. I know everything. You should also get out of here. You're getting on my nerves."

"Okay, I'm off now."

"...Bang." The door slammed shut again.

"Sigh... What a mess." Zhou Ye kept rubbing his hair in the now quiet room.

After overhearing this, Li Can stopped paying special attention to the sounds coming from Zhou Ye's side.

He completely treated the sound he transmitted as background noise for his next action.

The main problem is that Zhou Ye is currently being held under house arrest in his dormitory, and no one is communicating or talking to him.

Li Can's main goal was to eavesdrop on his direct communications with key figures in the base, such as Chen Ling.

Since he can't go out now, he can't rush things and should just put it off for now.

As for his younger sister, Li Lan, he wasn't particularly worried.

The base required them to submit written reports, which essentially put Li Lan's strengths to use.

She will definitely be able to give a satisfactory answer that no one can find fault with.

It's quite simple to smooth things over and avoid the important issues.

For die-hard fans of Wei Shanfeng, the latest chapter of "The Apocalypse Begins with a Dungeon Game" has been released!

Zhou Ye didn't need to worry at all, as he was basically detached from the overall situation.

Not many people know about it, and participation is generally low.

There are three others: Daishan, Shen Dachuan, and Zheng He. Aside from their own safety after leaving the instance, there's nothing to worry about.

They are not members of the base; they are scattered across various provinces and cities, making them extremely difficult to find in the midst of chaos.

The base is ignoring its own people, and it's impossible for them to find a needle in a haystack; it would be a waste of manpower and resources.

Since the apocalypse, resources have been scarce, and no one would do something so foolish as to take off their pants to fart.

The only person Li Can was truly worried about was Wang Defa.

He's not highly educated and is very straightforward in his dealings with people, so it's difficult for him to play word games.

Li Can knew that the last call Zhou Ye couldn't get through to must have been to him.

This shows that at that time, Lao Wang had already been quickly brought under control.

"Ten thousand words... Old Wang, you'd better write it well." Li Can was too far away to help him now, and could only silently worry for him.

[How far away is the destruction of Earth?]

【182:11:18】

【182:11:17】

……

After turning down the volume of Zhou Ye's eavesdropping voice and treating it as background noise, Li Can began to process the rewards from this instance.

This time he was smarter and didn't go to places that were too far away.

Within the safe zone of the first base, find the nearest entrance to the dungeon vortex and proceed with the victory settlement.

In this way, once the copy ball appears, he can immediately deploy it to prevent sudden disruptions from the scrambled cloud.

Although the poisoning symptoms had improved significantly after the last treatment with the sphere, Li Can was still not entirely at ease.

He was still shaken.

Every little bit of trouble we can avoid is a good thing.

He endured the burning sensation emanating from his palms, and after calming his mind and gathering his strength, one item after another began to emerge from his palms and float into the air.

[Dungeon Quantity Ball]

[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the Mysterious City dungeon and winning the grand prize, a Quantity Orb. Superpowered individuals can use it to absorb and upgrade their abilities, while ordinary people have a certain probability of awakening their own superpowers upon absorption.]

The description was the same as before; Li Can had already read it once and knew its function.

To be honest, he was also a little tempted. If it weren't necessary to extend the life of Blue Star, he would really like to absorb one for himself to try.

"Well, after this life-extending treatment, you should be able to hold on for a long time, right? At that time, I'll get myself another one."

Li Can looked at the scrambled cloud following beside him. This time, its emotions were quite stable. Even when it saw the sphere appear, it didn't charge forward like a bull seeing a red cloak.

A smooth, crystalline sphere rested between Li Can's palms, its interior a deep, fiery red, like a burning flame.

"So this is the quantity orb from the SSS-level dungeon. Indeed, the color is different from the one given in the SS-level mental hospital Tang Mystery dungeon."

Li Can couldn't help but find this world quite interesting.

In the darkness, all things follow this law to move forward and reproduce.

Zombie crystals are distinguished by three colors: green, blue, and red.

The quantity of orbs in the dungeon is even more similar.

Under the sunlight, the fiery red sphere revealed very clear surface patterns, still a miniature version of the entire blue planet.

Li Can thought to himself, "If Blue Star's outer shell weren't that blue from last time, but this color instead, it should be renamed Red Star, haha... um... Red Star..."

He fell into a moment of deep thought.
