The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

"Is it to study how to rejuvenate humans from old age?"

Li Can pondered the feasibility of this matter, but when he glanced at the unconscious woman on the ground, his lips twitched a few times.

So, was she a successful creation of the experiment, or was she caught and experimented on because others coveted her, given that there was a chicken-and-egg situation first?

Looking at the contents of that piece of paper, it seems that these people are even trying to develop a terrifying drug that can bring people back to life.

If such a thing were to actually appear, whether in a dungeon world or in real life, all of humanity would go mad. It would lead the world in another bizarre direction.

Wait a minute... In that instant, a wild idea suddenly flashed through Li Can's mind.

"If I'm currently in the game's past timeline, and the old woman in the Clearing in the Jungle was from the future, does that mean the 'rejuvenation' at the Warm Mental Hospital failed?"

It's terrifying to think about. Li Can believes that perhaps the antidote for "resurrection" will be successful in the future... Otherwise, why would the old woman appear in a semi-transparent human form?

Is a person alive because of the control of the brain's neural pathways or the control of their inner soul?

If a person dies, does it mean that his physical body is destroyed or that his soul dissipates?

Wu Xiuyuan and the unfamiliar doctor gradually approached. From Li Can's omniscient perspective, he could see the positions of both groups.

"Has anyone come down to the basement before?" Wu Xiuyuan suddenly asked as the two walked down the corridor.

"No, everyone is busy upstairs during the day. There's only one person on duty here. All the test subjects are given anesthesia that can take down an elephant, so there's no need to worry about anyone running away."

Upon hearing this, Li Can turned her head to look at Lin Wanyan, who was hiding under the table opposite her. She couldn't help but admire her mother-in-law, who was incredibly capable, able to run even like that.

At this point, the mother-in-law seemed to still be a bit naive and hadn't grasped reality, which is why she was deceived time and time again.

He himself felt quite sad and upset when he put himself in that shoes.

Li Can did not intend to fight these two people. He used a puppet to hide himself and Lin Wanyan in a place where no one would easily find them.

He only needed to wait quietly for the two men to return empty-handed, and then he could take advantage of the chaos and quietly leave with his men.

"That is indeed true."

"We're here, this is it. Hey? Where's that bitch?" The strange man searched the house but couldn't find her, and he was getting a little angry.

Wu Xiuyuan also looked a little flustered. "Didn't you say there were people on duty down here? Where are they?"

The entire laboratory was filled with the stench of countless dead bodies and the smell of blood; blood was everywhere and was the main feature of the scene.

Even though Li Can hid here after killing the "barber," it still took the two of them quite a while to find him.

Rows of experimental subjects were neatly stacked in one space, treated as casually as radishes and green onions.

These experimental subjects are both highly similar and highly different.

"He's dead, he's dead." The strange male doctor lifted the white sheet, revealing the barber's body, which had a severe stab wound on his left chest.

"This is Lin Wanyan's bed. Did she run away?" Wu Xiuyuan looked down at the plastic sign hanging in front of the bed and was completely dismayed.

Li Can secretly observed Wu Xiuyuan's performance and was somewhat suspicious. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem like someone who was playing this instance game for the first time.

Up to this point, all the clues Li Can had gathered were found through his own experiences, but where did Wu Xiuyuan get so much information from? Now, he's come to the lab with such a clear objective: Lin Wanyan.

Li Can did not believe that he was incredibly powerful and exceptionally gifted.

Most importantly, Li Can recalled the time when she and Wang Qing were attacked by dark matter when they first entered the ward.

The noise was very loud at the time. He poured gasoline and pulled out power lines. Wang Qing even used his own body to shield himself.

That's enough time for a good master who cares about his apprentice to come and help.

But he didn't... What was he thinking at that time?

Seeing the two gradually becoming more and more intimate, Li Can suddenly had a bold idea: since the situation was already so chaotic, it would be great if it could become even more chaotic.

"Hurry up and go find it, you good-for-nothing!" Wu Xiuyuan completely dropped his pretense and looked at the male doctor in front of him with sarcasm.

Li Can looked at the nameplate on the man's chest from the perspective of a vulture; the name "Zhao Kun" was clearly written on it.

This is the legendary adopted son of Lin Wanyan...

"Try swearing again. If it weren't for you stopping me from killing her, would things have come to this?" Zhao Kun said angrily, punching Wu Xiuyuan in the face.

"But don't worry, she can't get out. There's no iris recognition scan, and besides, she can't even find the front door."

"Bullshit!" Wu Xiuyuan wasn't going to suffer any loss, so he threw five or six punches at the other man's face, and Zhao Kun's face gradually became bruised and swollen.

"Several times already, you still haven't beaten Fang Yi. What's the point of me helping you? Why don't you just take out the 'Resurrection' medicine? You're such a useless piece of trash!"

Zhao Kun's eyes suddenly cleared. "What do you mean, 'how many times'?"

"Damn it, you're an idiot." Wu Xiuyuan rolled his eyes in anger.

Zhao Kun didn't understand, but Li Can, who was eavesdropping, did.

It's unclear how Wu Xiuyuan can repeatedly enter this instance. He chose the "Zhao Kun" faction in order to obtain the "Resurrection" medicine.

But this guy doesn't seem to be able to get anywhere... Why doesn't he try switching to someone else's camp? Li Can wondered.

Does that mean once a faction is chosen, it's locked in?

Wu Xiuyuan is really having a tough time.

If Li Can could actually get the "Resurrection" potion in this dungeon game, he would be tempted to give it a try.

As the two were locked in a tense standoff, they rolled around on the ground, locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight. Li Can, watching this, had black lines all over his forehead and was speechless. He simply found the alarm button outside and pressed it.

Instantly, the entire second basement level erupted in piercing alarms, and red warning lights flashed incessantly, creating a scene as lively as a disco.

What time is it? He really doesn't have time to mess around with these two idiots.

Li Can initially thought that by secretly observing, he could outmaneuver the rivalry between the snipe and the clam, allowing him to reap the benefits. However, after watching for a while, he gave up. These two are truly wicked fools...

It was obvious that the two of them had sneaked down, and Li Can happily stirred up the atmosphere.

In a corner where the two couldn't see, he crawled on the ground, dragging Lin Wanyan from the room to the front door. After prying open the eyes of Aunt Guan Ling's corpse and aligning them with the scanner, he and the puppets carried Lin Wanyan away in one go.

"Goodbye, you two keep fighting."

Li Can knew that the alarm would alert the hospital's leadership, so he ran as fast as he could.

After the elevator reached the first floor, he jumped out and went directly into the pedestrian stairwell.

"Who are you?" Lin Wanyan was jostled on the zombie puppet's shoulder before Li Can finally woke her up.

"That's not important. Just remember that I'm here to help you. Now I'm going to ask you a question, and you have to answer me truthfully," Li Can said, looking at her.

She covered her slightly swollen cheeks and the neck where Aunt Guan Ling had hit her earlier, still completely unaware of what had happened.

"What's the problem?"

Is Fang Yi trustworthy? What floor is he in, in the doctor's office? What is your relationship with him?

"Also, is your youthful face all-natural or the result of experiments?"

"Besides Zhao Kun, do you have any other enemies who want to kill you?"

"Think more about those who are doctors. Is there anyone suspicious? Tell me everything you can think of so I can write it down."

Lin Wanyan's eyes widened, and after a long pause, she replied, "Is this even a question...?"
