"Beep..." After a brief pause, Zhou Ye dialed the number again.

Li Can knew without guessing who the call was for.

To their surprise, the call went through very smoothly.

Wang Defa's voice came from the other side, preemptively speaking before Zhou Ye could even begin any opening remarks:

"Hey, Secretary Zhou, what's up? I'm busy right now. I've been instructed to take the guys to another city to pick up a newly awakened superhuman and bring him to the base."

Li Can listened carefully and discovered that there was indeed the sound of a helicopter propeller coming from Lao Wang's direction.

The booming background noise and Wang Defa's words almost shattered Zhou Ye, who stood there stunned on the other end of the phone without saying a word.

"Speaking of that awakened superpower, it's really exaggerated. I'm quite curious, what kind of person can lead a truckload of zombies around like they're family?"

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? I'm hanging up now, I'm about to leave, so wait for me."

Zhou Ye, on the other hand, didn't listen carefully to what Wang Defa was saying about superhumans at all.

His face was full of shock, and he quickly said, "Wait, wait a minute, Lao Wang, how come you wrote your account of your experience so quickly? You're already out working, while I'm still stuck in this room all alone..."

Wang Defa, however, didn't seem to care. Accompanied by the roar of the engine, he spoke rapidly, eager to get going:

"Oh, that thing? You don't know this, do you? I didn't write it at all. I'm illiterate. I can type it online, but writing it by hand is a real pain."

"I had to look up each word in the dictionary to write it clearly. The higher-ups thought it was inefficient, so they've made me just dictate it, and someone will record it. Once I've looked it up and there are no problems, they'll let me out."

"What? You're not the last one to finish, are you? Hahaha, I have to praise you, Secretary Zhou. You're still so diligent at a time like this."

Wang Defa rambled on and on, and surprisingly, it was approved. He himself found it unbelievable.

To Zhou Ye, it didn't sound the same at all; he felt that only he himself understood the whole story.

"Alright... By the way, don't you think this whole thing is a bit strange? It's like the higher-ups are afraid we won't run into Peach Blossom, but they're also afraid we'll get too close to him after we meet... I've been feeling like something's up lately, and I'm really uneasy about it."

Zhou Ye spoke frankly, but discussing this with Wang Defa was clearly a case of talking past each other.

Wang Defa exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, no way! I think there's no problem. Are you too tired and hallucinating? You should take some time to rest."

"I'm really not talking to you anymore. I'm leaving. I'm going out on a mission. Let's talk again when I get back."

After saying that, the phone was hung up on the other end.

The room fell silent again, and Zhou Ye stood alone in the empty bedroom, looking slightly lost.

Li Can, who was eavesdropping, was toying with the red wine glass in his hand. The crystal-clear dark red inside reflected a dazzling light under the lamp.

He pondered the message Wang Defa had just given him.

Judging from Lao Wang's description, the superhuman he mentioned is almost certainly Brother Che.

"I didn't expect 'Mom, is this paradise?' to be so efficient, and the base didn't drag its feet either."

Li Can sighed, "If only the various departments had this kind of efficiency before the apocalypse."

In the end, Brother Che listened to his own advice and chose to submit his work to the official platform instead of going it alone.

What's amazing is that the people who go there to do business are all his own people, and there's no detour involved.

Through [eavesdropping on every hair], Li Can was still able to learn about many events happening on Earth in real time from Zhou Ye.

Without his knowledge, everything he did and said came from the heart; there was nothing he was hiding.

In addition, there are the group chats I have now, and all the members are talented.

Li Can has completely infiltrated the intelligence network of Earth on another timeline.

The entire grid began to become finer.

Only after confirming that Wang Defa had emerged from the previous instance unharmed did Li Can finally feel a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

After Zhou Ye hung up the phone, Li Can also turned the eavesdropping volume down to the minimum.

For the next period of time, Zhou Ye continued to wait for the results in her bedroom, unable to move around, which was very restrictive.

Li Can naturally didn't need to put much effort into him.

Taking advantage of A-Yun's seclusion and the fact that the first clone, Yun Duo, had not yet been released in seven days, Li Can did not plan to waste any more time entering the dungeon.

Instead, he chose to temporarily clear out zombies on the current Earth, mainly to upgrade his own abilities and earn more gold coins.

He continued to recruit puppet soldiers indiscriminately, without any regard for their origins.

He cleared out cities one by one.

When Li Can received the later parts, he couldn't help but laugh.

If you eventually choose to release all the puppets into a certain place, you can directly replicate a zombie apocalypse.

During this period, Li Can extracted more and more zombie crystal cores, which completely surpassed the number of crystal cores he had taken from the First Base's warehouse.

The proportion of green remains dominant, blue is moderate, and red is rare.

Although he had countless golden energies stored in his gacha as trump cards, he just liked to hoard good things whenever he came across them, so how could he give them up?

Li Can's main idea is that the more the merrier.

So he "cleaned up" every abandoned survivor base, regardless of whether it was private or officially established, treating them all the same.

As the saying goes, "pluck a feather from a passing goose, leaving not a single hair behind."

It was as brutal as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Anyway, Li Can knew that his storage space was achieved using empty gashapon capsules.

Theoretically, this is an immeasurable unit of storage.

As long as he's alive and can keep exchanging empty gashapon shells for them, he can keep pretending.

"Looking at it this way, the scenery under the wasteland is actually quite nice."

After finally looting the last private survivor base, Li Can emerged and stood on the high platform, gazing at the rising sun on the horizon, feeling somewhat dazed.

"It's a bit of a pity that such beautiful scenery can't be seen by anyone else except me, a human."

In just a few days, Li Can had already traversed the vast and small regions on the map of China.

Just as Ah Yun had said when he told the time, he was the only living person left in the world.

At first, Li Can had a hint of doubt in his heart.

He didn't quite believe what A-Yun was saying.

Only when he saw it with his own eyes and verified it himself did everything finally become tangible, clearly and plainly telling him the answer.

Watching the sun rise, Li Can pondered for a moment, then activated [Coordinates], moved his location, and visited several famous scenic spots he had been to before.

"Let Ah Yun take one last look at this world before she wakes up..."
