The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Wang Defa quickly followed, "Ah, right, right, the base has already prepared an escape route for us. Although there can only be one winner in each instance, we can still successfully leave."

"Even if you don't win in the end, the pass we have can keep you alive, it just means we'll get one less ball..."

Li Can observed that, as the top ability users of the First Base, they all possessed storage space-like methods that could shield copies of their abilities.

Otherwise, you can't bring in things like access cards and mobile phones.

When we spoke with the officials at the base, they didn't mention the portability of the sphere.

I suspect this item clashes with dungeons and can't be stored in the inventory like other items.

If he could carry it, he wouldn't have to fight tooth and nail anymore; he could just trade the orbs with players from the base in the instance.

There are currently many restrictions, and the only way to save yourself is to clear each dungeon one by one on your own.

As for the pass card that Wang Defa mentioned, Li Can knew about it. To prevent accidents, every player going into the dungeon carries something to protect each other. The base had already informed them in advance via private message.

"Here's the thing, Lao Wang, give our passes to Comrade Li Can." Li Lan stood up and produced two cards out of thin air. He kept one for himself and handed the extra one to Li Can.

Wang Defa, on the other hand, regretted it. After meeting Li Can, he could no longer keep both cards for himself. He had originally come for this thing, but now he had lost both his wife and his army.

Why bring this up when you're being so sarcastic? It's just reminding them of something.

He regrets it now, he regrets it very much.

But she still quietly took the things out.

Li Can took it and examined it under the light; it was exactly the same as the pass card he had seen when he first met Bai Zhuo.

It was then stored in the empty capsule toy in the consciousness space.

Li Lan stood to the side and explained:

"The extra passes are also for the base to ensure your personal safety during the next dungeon run. After all, it's a miracle that we met today, and we don't know if we'll be so lucky again."

"Pass cards only drop from SSS-level dungeons, so they are quite precious. The base has already struggled to gather this batch of cards by consolidating resources."

Li Can understood what she meant. Pass cards were rare; otherwise, people would take as many as they could wholesale, instead of being so stingy.

We've done everything we can now.

The difficulty of SSS-level dungeons is obvious; it's already difficult for players to enter and leave alive to become winners.

The dungeon rewards obtained through sheer hard work were selflessly donated and placed in the base for use.

Li Can knew how precious this thing was, and he was even more amazed by the cohesion of the survivors of the First Base.

Thank you.

"It's a bit early to say thank you now. After all, judging from the current situation, this dungeon game might be SSS-level, and whether we can finish the game is still unknown." Li Lan's gaze deepened.

"The card only provides a guarantee; no one can leave until the game ends." She thought of the captain of her superhuman team; back then, she had the card.

But he hasn't come back since...

No one could have imagined that someone with such formidable fighting skills and powerful backing would encounter such a fate.

Wang Defa slapped his forehead. "I also feel like it's SSS level. The instructions on that scroll are baffling. Getting the exit certificate to leave the city doesn't seem like the answer."

"I told you my intuition was right, I felt this was deceptive information."

"Although I haven't run many dungeons so far, I've read a lot of guides on the Survivor Forum. The higher the level of the dungeon, the more they like to play these word games to lure players into it."

"Only S-rank dungeons are clearly explained from the beginning, telling players how to clear them and what the ending will be, so they're not so frustrating."

After briefly learning about the situation, Li Can nodded and made no further attempt to hide anything.

"Indeed, based on the clues I've gathered, using the city certificate to leave the city is a scam. Everyone can abandon this option, and there's no need to go through the trouble of earning funds anymore."

The younger sister sat in the chair opposite Li Can, arms crossed, gazing at the night view outside the window. She turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I've been to the city gate and witnessed firsthand how the indigenous people, when they left, had to undergo a barrier that peeled off their skin and bones, transforming them into monsters, until their physical bodies truly died, leaving only their souls. And this soul consciousness would also completely dissipate soon after, at which point the monsters would become empty shells..."

Li Can used very concise language to recount her experience at the Baijie Hotel and the clues and information she had gathered.

Upon hearing this, Wang Defa and his sister both frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Is that Shen Yuan trustworthy?" Li Lan asked rhetorically.

"After I take her to deal with a few more strange creatures, I'll make sure that I won't cause any problems while I'm around."

"Okay, comrade, this is very dangerous, you need to be careful."

Li Can felt a sense of disorientation as he watched his younger sister always address him as "comrade" with a serious expression.

Wang Defa is still here, so we can't recognize each other for now. We'll have to find another opportunity.

Suppressing a laugh, he began to plan the next steps. "So, the instructions on the scroll aren't necessarily set in stone. It's best if we interact with the indigenous people ourselves to explore and verify some things."

"Just like with role-playing, it's not necessarily true that it can be completely out of character (OOC)."

"I will continue to advance the process of contacting Shen Yuan and the people of Shangcheng at Baijie Hotel."

"Once there is news, the puppet will be used to contact you."

"You guys hold back for now and try to find other players around here to meet up. I'll leave this to you."

As he spoke, Li Can released the vulture from the puppet capsule, allowing Li Lan and Wang Defa to familiarize themselves with the puppet's appearance.

To avoid any unforeseen complications.

A vulture, shrunk to the size of a sparrow, perched on Li Can's shoulder, tilting its head to examine the two of them.

They were also observing the vultures.

Li Lan nodded reliably, "Okay, since the amount on the certificate isn't important, there's no need to waste time on it. I'll move around more in the mall and shift my focus."

"That scared me to death. Luckily, I don't need to earn 666 million. I was even thinking of robbing someone. I'm good at finding people, so leave it to me. It's no problem at all." Wang Defa agreed.

"Well, besides the ability users from our first base, there should be some other players who enter the instance on their own. When that happens, Lao Wang, let's observe whether they are trustworthy and adapt accordingly." Li Lan, the younger sister, turned to Wang Defa and gave him another instruction.

"I know, I know. Judging people is my forte. Otherwise, how do you think I became a big brother all over the world?" Wang Defa leaned back, looking confident.
