The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 199 DuangDuang, so bouncy!

As expected, Ah Yun still has the same scrambled code personality; the difference between Ah Yun's true nature and his state after being poisoned is not that great.

These are words that only he could say.

"So, the people you captured here are basically all from the last ten years or so, right?"

"That's right. The kid is quite good at applying what he's learned to other situations. Of course, I would choose the approach that would cause me the least harm under extreme circumstances."

Li Can then asked, "So, after you recover from your injuries, do you plan to take me back to the past? Is it ten years ago, when the zombie virus had just broken out, or even earlier?"

Ayun just stared at Li Can with admiration in her eyes, completely forgetting that he had deliberately provoked her earlier.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid's not simple. Looks like I'm both lucky and unlucky. All the other destined people before me failed. It seems fate sent you here. Hiss..."

"You guessed right."

"The timeline jump that would take us the least damage would be ten years, but if we want to go back and deal with those things, it would be better to do it earlier."

Li Can: "Those things you're talking about are probably alien imposters, right? Do you know what they're trying to do?"

"Oh, you've already found this out? Looks like you weren't idle during those two dungeon missions, working this hard? Terrifying, terrifying..."

Ayun's lack of denial was a direct way of telling Li Can the answer.

As Li Can listened to his increasingly unrestrained way of speaking, a row of black lines appeared on her forehead.

"I'm saying, how come you learn both the best and the worst in human slang?"

"So why don't we find those alien imposters and take revenge right now? Is it because they're already dead... or because we're hiding and they can't find us?"

After hearing Li Can's question, A Yun noticed that his expression was becoming increasingly complex, no longer the pure joy he had shown before, but rather utter admiration.

"Those idiots aren't idiots at all, they..." Ayun paused, pondered for a long time, seemingly hesitating about how to explain this to Li Can.

The truth is actually quite simple.

Li Can knew that unless A Yun wanted to go back and change the regrets to save humanity, time travel would be necessary.

If it's just about revenge, there's no problem with him taking revenge now once he's detoxified and recovered.

Given the deathly silence that has lasted for so long, it's impossible that those alien pseudo-humans haven't made any moves.

The answer is simply one of the more obvious cases.

First, in a timeline unknown to him, Ah Yun or the collective of humanity did something that resulted in the elimination of those alien pseudo-humans, while their own people suffered heavy losses.

Secondly, what tricks did A-Yun pull to hide Blue Star while she was still clinging to life?

This is the worst possible outcome.

This indicates that alien spies have been active overseas all these years, and have even been searching for them.

Their strength is certainly not to be underestimated.

If Blue Star's location is exposed before Ayun fully recovers, they will face an unprecedented situation of isolation and helplessness.

However, so much time has passed, and Li Can roughly estimates that the overall environment of Blue Star is still within a safe range.

Surely he won't be so unlucky as to suddenly give in and expose himself right after realizing this?

In any case, many years ago, in that timeline where he didn't exist, A-Yun and the human survivors must have tried their best to resist and struggle.

That's what led to today's seemingly hopeless scene.

If they hadn't resisted, humanity and Earth might have faced a fate ten thousand times worse.

"They're not dead." After hesitating for a long time, A-Yun finally said the answer he least wanted to hear in front of Li Can.

"You guessed right. Initially, Earth was hit by an impact, the virus leaked, and I was poisoned and forced into a long period of slumber."

"Everything that happened to me was out of control. During those years when my memory was blank, it was entirely up to humanity to save itself."

"I don't know exactly what happened during that time, I only know that when I woke up again, there were almost no survivors left among humanity."

"Everything on Earth, including its ecosystem, has been almost completely destroyed by those things."

"I urgently used all my cultivation to eliminate the parasites still lingering on Earth."

"Taking advantage of the fact that their headquarters hadn't reacted, they began their stealthy escape."

"After doing all this, I fell into a deep coma again."

"When you awaken again, you will know everything."

"At that time, you were the last person I summoned who was destined to be with me. If I couldn't even rely on you and failed, I think we wouldn't have a future together."

When Ayun spoke of those tragic and dark years, his eyes reddened and tears welled up, but he managed to hold them back.

He looked like an innocent young man, who, despite his age, seemed immature.

Perhaps it was due to a serious illness, or perhaps it was because he had lived such a long and peaceful life without any major upheavals, and was still able to retain a childlike heart... Li Can couldn't really assess it.

There are even darker speculations, such as that A-Yun is pretending...

Regardless of what it is, Li Can is currently only concerned with the cause and effect, and can put everything else aside for now.

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he saw that Ayun could no longer hold back and let her tears flow freely down her face.

Then the human figure dispersed, leaving only a bouncy, white cloud.

The lower half of the cloud was gathering an increasingly thick gray-black, like a dark cloud with a gradient.

The rain poured down, covering the ground.

The dry cement ground was suddenly soaked, and the weak little grasses trapped in the cement cracks absorbed the rainwater and began to grow happily.

It's as if this rainwater contains rare energy that can provide nutrients to plants.

"Don't cry..." Li Can watched as A Yun trembled and turned into a dark cloud, starting to rain, and felt somewhat helpless.

Since the cloud obeyed his command and shrank to the size of a pillow, it hasn't changed. Now it's just a tiny blob trembling and shedding tears.

"It's all in the past. Look, you're fully conscious now. Once you've recovered, we'll go back in time and change everything!"

Li Can wasn't good at comforting clouds, so he could only tentatively reach out a hand and pat the top of his cloud.

After he patted the entire cloud a few times, it drooped heavily, making the ground even darker.

Li Can had no idea that Yun, who seemed so serious and proper in his eyes, actually had such a personality.

He scratched the back of his head somewhat helplessly.

"The most urgent task now is to accelerate your cultivation recovery process before the alien imposters discover us, and I will also work hard to improve my own strength and make preparations as soon as possible."

"You agree, right?" Li Can leaned down and stared at the dark clouds, offering a soft word of comfort.
