The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 215 The Illusion of a Perfect World

The latest chapter is now available! Book lovers, hurry back!

The snow fell heavier and heavier, gradually covering the already devastated Icefield City completely, leaving only the illusion of a perfect world.

No one could tell how many bloody events had taken place here.

Li Can found a villa on a hillside, a house with floor-to-ceiling windows, and officially settled down in Icefield City.

In a world devoid of human beings, with only Li Can remaining, he could go wherever he wanted and possess whatever he desired, as long as the world existed.

For example, this villa with its carved beams and painted rafters.

Looking out through the large glass window, one is greeted by a landscape of snow-covered mountains and forests, with white snow piled up on the bare branches and twigs, resembling flower petals.

The uneven ground has a thick, creamy texture.

A cold wind blew by, bringing a biting chill and stirring up the snowflakes, which danced and swirled in the not-so-bright sunlight.

Large white snowflakes were still falling softly from the sky, and when people stood inside the house and looked out, it felt as if they were standing in front of a crystal ball.

"Preparations are almost complete."

Li Can manipulated the puppet to relight the fireplace in the villa's living room. The empty hall was now filled only with his voice and the crackling of the burning firewood.

The other puppets were scattered throughout the house, taking Li Can's place to clean up the dust. Only after a simple cleaning was it truly habitable.

Seeing that everything was ready, Li Can walked to a door, pulled the handle, and revealed the bedroom inside.

He stood at the door and activated the [Coordinates Point], instantly creating a new, shimmering vortex door in the room. He walked in without hesitation.

Before long, he was seen carrying a white-robed scholar who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, returning from inside.

"Now your wish has finally come true."

Li Can clapped his hands, placed A Yun on the new big bed, and moved him in just a few seconds.

Ayun seemed to trust Li Can completely. Even though someone had moved his body from the outside, it didn't wake him from his meditation. He remained immersed in it with his eyes closed.

Seeing that it was still a long time before A-Yun released a clone cloud every seven days, Li Can simply closed his door and went out.

He found himself a recliner and a blanket, and nestled up near the fireplace to warm himself. The heat made him feel cozy and warm.

Li Can's gaze lingered on the scenery outside the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, and she gradually began to feel sleepy.

This place was originally located in a remote area halfway up the mountain, with a very low occupancy rate. It was basically a villa where wealthy people would drive over to stay for a day or two during their leisure time.

Since the zombie apocalypse began, there are very few zombies roaming around here.

Most of the zombies followed their nature and wandered around to more populated areas in the city.

Occasionally, a few lone zombies would be left behind, but Li Can would move them over and release them to be incorporated into the puppets or cleaned up.

Li Can now has a habit: whenever he goes to a new place, he collects a local zombie as a new specimen and adds it to his empty capsule toy.

This is more like a collecting obsession.

It is also a form of evidence collection that requires leaving a record of one's actions.

"Hmm? Is the investigation period over...?" Li Can kept an eye on Zhou Ye's movements through the [Eavesdropping Hair] device next to his ear and turned up the volume of the listening device.

He had been listening in constantly, but Zhou Ye was locked in his bedroom writing his dungeon experiences, so apart from the sound of turning pages, he didn't provide Li Can with any useful information.

Only now did a slightly different movement begin to occur.

"A full ten thousand words! Ten thousand words! Are you even human? What do you mean? I can't move around freely even after I've finished writing? That's not what you said in the first place."

On the other hand, Zhou Ye's tone changed from relaxed after recounting her experience to devastated and angry in just two seconds.

"It's like this, Secretary Zhou. Please don't make things difficult for us. We're all just working for our superiors."

"Phew... Okay, then you can give me back my phone now, right?" Zhou Ye took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"This...this isn't in accordance with the regulations, is it? Although it's not mentioned above, I think it would be better if you stayed in your room."

"Not saying anything means you're free to do whatever you want." Zhou Ye seemed to be patting someone's shoulder, making a thumping sound.

"How can you be so rigid at such a young age? If I don't say anything, if you don't say anything, if they don't say anything, who will know? You should hurry up and hand over the written transcript you've prepared."

Then, the sound of fabric rubbing together could be heard from the scene.

Then, the sound of fabric rubbing together could be heard from the scene.

"Hey, hey, Secretary Zhou, you..." The person on the other end wanted to say something more, but was rendered helpless by Zhou Ye's actions.

"I already knew where you hid my phone after you confiscated it. Alright, hurry up and get me out of here so I can be free sooner." After quickly snatching back his phone, Zhou Ye didn't hesitate and immediately closed the door, locking it from the inside.

"Beep beep beep." That's the sound of dialing a number on a phone.

"Beep...beep..."

"Hey Li Lan, are you done on your end? Did they let you out?"

So that's why he called his younger sister, Li Lan, right away. Li Can lay back in his chair, his eyebrows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

This kid seems to care about Li Lan a little too much.

Why doesn't he contact Lao Wang first every time something happens?

However, based on my observations of Zhou Ye over this period of time, he has not shown any abnormalities since leaving the instance, and he has been treated the same as an ordinary person.

There is no risk of collusion with either the imposter or the official Chen Ling.

It's impossible for their people to have checked or realized immediately that they had inserted "listening hairs" into Zhou Ye's body.

Therefore, Li Can's attitude towards Zhou Ye is now a mixture of affirmation and irritation.

"I've been released and can participate in normal activities now. I finished writing and submitted my account of the dungeon experience within three hours. Why are you only submitting yours now?"

Li Lan's voice on the other end of the phone was very calm.

Zhou Ye was momentarily disarmed after hearing this.

"Ah...hahaha...I wrote a bit too carefully and too slowly, didn't I? Okay, since you're free now, I'll hang up first. I'll probably be done soon too."

Zhou Ye laughed awkwardly for a while, and after saying goodbye, the call ended on its own before he could even press the hang-up button.

"..." The air seemed to freeze for a long time. Li Can listened intently, wondering what Zhou Ye was daydreaming about.

"How heartless..." Zhou Ye sighed weakly after a long while.

His voice was so pitiful and sorrowful that Li Can began to feel sorry for him. However, when she remembered that the person on the other end was her own sister, Li Can put away her sympathy.

Upon learning that Li Lan was safe and sound, both Zhou Ye and Li Can breathed a sigh of relief.
