Chapter 192 The word "death"
Chapter 192 The word "death"
Wei Shanfeng's masterpiece, "The Apocalypse Begins with a Dungeon Game," is available to read now!
Li Can shook his head, knowing he couldn't let his imagination run wild, or he'd risk being censored.
"It's not even warmed up yet, sigh." He thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and held the crystal-clear, fiery red sphere in his other hand, taking photos of himself and it from various angles.
Even standing on the edge of the vortex, the person and the sphere become one.
"Click."
After taking the last photo, Li Can showed no reluctance. He put away his phone and then took the measuring ball and threw it at the entrance of the dungeon vortex.
"Truly, it is taken from the people and used for the people..."
He watched as the fiery red sphere was gradually absorbed by the vortex, or rather, the sphere gradually dissolved the vortex, restoring the space to its normal state.
At the same time, the heavens and earth began to fluctuate, a tremor invisible to the naked eye.
In an instant, the entire globe was swept by some unknown light wave.
It's like having a full medical check-up.
Air currents from all directions converged here, then dissipated, until the vortex next to Li Can grew smaller and smaller, spinning slower and slower.
Until it completely disappeared, only the most normal air was left flowing in the place.
No matter how others look at it, they will not notice anything unusual about this place.
The morning sunlight was already insufficient, and since the apocalypse, almost every day had been gloomy.
At this moment, a huge, warm and gentle beam of light shone down from the fading sky.
This thing was like it had activated a lock-on mode, heading straight for Li Can and steadily shining its light into him, without exposing any of his body joints.
"It looks much larger than the last pillar of light, at least three or four times larger." Li Can did not dodge. After going through the process twice in a row, he had fully understood the function of this pillar of light.
The energy sphere cannot be absorbed by the user for the time being; it is for the user's own use. This beam of light is the only remaining benefit after the energy sphere has burned out, so it cannot be wasted.
He felt warm all over, as if he had just taken a nice hot bath and had a full-body massage on a soft bed, before finally falling into a deep sleep, immersed in a dream full of sweet dreams.
This is an extremely comfortable boost of energy throughout the body.
"If even this little bit of the afterglow from the sphere is this powerful, then what kind of upgrade would a person have to undergo after absorbing a whole sphere...?"
Li Can was unaware that he had only ever won two balls so far.
He estimated that the beam of light left by the SS-level sphere last time could last for at least several tens of minutes.
This time it's SSS level, so it should at least double the duration, lasting about an hour.
He thought to himself, and directly picked out an old wooden recliner that he had seized from the First Base from the assembled gashapon shells in his consciousness space.
He placed the chair in the beam of light, then lay down comfortably with his blanket and pillow, photosynthesizing and enjoying the most comfortable sunbathing experience in history.
While it was described as sunbathing, that wasn't entirely accurate, as he brought his own luggage.
Fortunately, the beam of light ignores physics and reaches every tissue, joint, and muscle texture of the human body.
It only benefits humans.
"You tricked me the first time, forcing me to use the sphere right on the street. As a result, the zombie horde came before I could absorb the light for long. Looking back, it's really a pity."
"We can't waste this opportunity. Come on, come over and soak up some sun with me, so you can get back to normal and serious as soon as possible and work together on this great cause."
Li Can looked at the random cloud that was still floating idly to the side, and pulled it down to his side with a large hand.
After the garbled cloud entered the range of the light beam, it initially tried to struggle a bit, but after feeling the boost, it simply stayed by Li Can's side and wouldn't leave.
And so, the two of them leaned back in the solid wood recliner and fell into a deep sleep.
It's safe around here.
The first base has been completely purged by Li Can, and then he sent out a large number of puppets to be stationed in various locations.
It's so bad that not even a fly could get in.
Furthermore, all of humanity here has been wiped out, leaving only him as the last human with cheat-like abilities to have transmigrated here.
Sleeping outdoors in the open air, without any worries.
Li Can slept exceptionally soundly that night.
Since he transmigrated to the wasteland ten years in the future, he has never been able to relax for a single moment.
Although he didn't need to sleep, as he had zombie crystal cores and golden energy to absorb and improve his mental state, the relaxing experience was completely different from the feeling of actually getting a good night's sleep.
At first, he could still stare blankly at the sky with his eyes open, remaining stunned for a few moments.
But as I lay there, I lost consciousness. It was just too easy to sleep... Forget about all the other dungeon rewards, the countdown to destruction, the alien pseudo-human invasion, the plan to save humanity... Forget about all that for now.
Nothing is more important than him getting a good night's sleep.
His body was constantly recharging, and the injuries that had been sustained in his limbs and bones were being repaired to a perfect state.
All past physical and mental exhaustion has been cleared away.
The scores for vision, hearing, smell, strength, agility, mental strength, etc., steadily increase.
If he were currently lying in the superhuman detection equipment at the base, he would clearly see that the upward trend in these human values was terrifyingly severe.
The garbled data and bar-shaped objects on the garbled cloud gradually became transparent. After those anomalies disappeared from its body, it looked exactly like a pure white, realistic cloud-shaped pillow.
The random cloud also started snoring away along with Li Can at some point.
The two, one human and one cloud, were undergoing physical changes without realizing it; neither of them noticed the changes while they were asleep.
"Help me...help me...gurgling...cough cough, cough cough, help me!"
Li Can's brows furrowed involuntarily in his sleep.
He dreamed again of the scene when he fell into the river and drowned as a child.
The water in the stream shimmered with golden light in the afternoon sun, fine and warm.
It is perfect for humans to bathe, catch fish, or play in the river.
That afternoon, he and his childhood friends, carrying plastic basins, glass jars, and small fishing nets, each wearing a vest, shorts, and slippers, went to the river to play.
A group of children were having a great time and had caught quite a few small fish, which they put in basins and glass jars. They were now getting ready to go home.
He was still standing in the river dealing with the net when his foot slipped and he inexplicably fell to the bottom of the river. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't get up.
Li Can watched as his friends, who had come with him, carried bottles and jars, their eyes and attention all focused on the small fish in the basin, and no one noticed his predicament.
His increasingly faint cries for help sounded so insignificant in the atmosphere of their noisy departure.
"Help me, help me... glug glug... help..."
Is he going to die...? Li Can choked on the water countless times in the river, his mouth and nose filled with the stench of blood, and he simply didn't have the strength to struggle.
Until the tall grass completely concealed his playmates, no one noticed that he had drowned.
Everything went black before his eyes, and he completely gave up his will to live.
This was the first time Li Can experienced the word "death" as a child.
