The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Putting everything else aside, Qian Shi's ability to learn and imitate was quite strong.

From the start of the day when Baijie Hotel opened, the feedback from guests was consistently positive throughout the morning.

It seems that Li Can's teaching of cooking skills was quite successful.

Qian Shi was frantically flipping woks in the kitchen, tired but happy.

Huang Xiaoqi's hands trembled as she received the money, her face beaming with smiles.

The men were also working hard to clean up the mess, each diligently doing their job.

Only Li Can and Shen Yuan were able to take advantage of the situation.

As time passed, Shen Yuan's expression grew increasingly grim.

She still hadn't found anyone from her organization.

Li Can even considered whether to reveal his ability to transform into bizarre forms and simply take Shen Yuan out to actively search for them.

Although Baijie Restaurant was thriving, with a strange influx of customers, it was ultimately a case of "the fisherman catches the fish," leaving them somewhat passive.

In the footage transmitted back by the vulture puppet that stayed with her younger sister Li Lan, she and Wang Defa were already running around outside.

From the first day of the night, they have gradually won over two free players scattered from Earth.

From any perspective, their progress is far ahead of ours.

It wasn't until Shen Yuan called out "Welcome" again, his tone suddenly went off-key, that Li Can felt that heaven had finally rewarded his hard work.

That strange creature wasn't particularly different from the other guests.

From the moment they entered, he held onto Shen Yuan's sleeve and wouldn't let go, the two of them staring at each other.

After a long while, the guest slowly released her.

Shen Yuan felt a surge of immense joy.

After trying to calm herself down, she asked the customer in her usual tone, then walked toward the order sign with an eerie air, passing by Li Can.

"Guest, our shop sign..." She was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Okay, you can arrange it, but you have to accompany me on the trip afterwards." When these words appeared above the guest's head, Li Can was almost moved to tears.

It turns out they actually managed to catch the fish.

Meanwhile, Yang Mo, who was controlling the strange creature to enter the suburban restaurant, sat in his room in the upper city, feeling uneasy.

After visiting and inspecting more than a dozen restaurants, he found nothing and even became somewhat pessimistic and sad.

The other young people in the organization in the room also became disheartened.

Everyone believed that Shen Yuan was probably dead and his body was torn to pieces.

After so long, being completely devoured is the most likely outcome.

However, clinging to the last shred of hope, Yang Mo arrived at the Baijie Hotel, which seemed to be bustling with people.

But then he happened to run into the lively and energetic Shen Yuan.

He could no longer distinguish whether it was his continuous high-intensity entry into the lower city or the hallucinations caused by excessive worry in real life.

Shen Yuan was killed, with a spear wound piercing his chest, and was thrown lifelessly off the eerie city wall, as everyone witnessed.

Is it really possible for a person to come back to life after death?

There was a resident in the lower town who looked exactly like her.

It was all just a coincidence.

He wasn't sure, so he could only observe for the time being. He found a seat on the outer edge and kept his eyes on her the whole time.

"You mean you saw a woman who looks almost exactly like Shen Yuan? Where is she? Everyone, come here now."

As Yang Mo steadied himself and adjusted his perspective on the eerie figures in the city, he said to the person beside him, "It's hard to say, she looks a lot like... but also..."

He hesitated.

Finally, he could only instruct everyone, "Don't make it too obvious. Just send two people to the Baijie Hotel, and the rest of you stay on guard around the perimeter. If it's true, she's not dead yet..."

"it is good."

And so, two more strange guests sneaked into the Baijie Hotel.

They sat on opposite sides of Yang Mo's strange posture, keeping a distance between them.

Those who didn't know them might think they were strangers.

But all of them were observing Shen Yuan very carefully.

"Brother Yang, it really looks like her, it's exactly the same. Even her voice and tone are no different from usual. But the makeup on her face, oh my god, who did this for her? It's so scary, she looks like a monster."

Another young man chimed in, "Did you see that proprietress? She's practically a carbon copy; she must have drawn it herself."

If Huang Xiaoqi could hear their conversation, she would probably be speechless.

This is a denial of her 300-year-old technology; it's blatant slander.

This is outrageous and infuriating!

She was clearly just imitating herself in a ridiculous way.

Fortunately, she can't hear, and even if she did know due to mental pollution, she would gradually forget it due to amnesia.

She was as happy as a blooming flower, swaying her hips as she moved busily between the cash register and the lobby.

"Oh, thank you for your patronage, sir. This is a special drink for you from our restaurant." Huang Xiaoqi said, placing a glass of lemonade mixed with thick blood plasma on Yang Mo's table.

Yang Mo didn't care at all, and even seemed annoyed that she was blocking his view, so he moved aside and continued to steal glances at Shen Yuan.

Li Can stood by the partition between the two restaurants, his gaze sweeping over several furtive and eerie figures on the side of the street.

It has been confirmed that someone from Shen Yuan's organization has come looking for them, and a scene of recognition is about to unfold.

He felt both excited and worried.

Finding Shen Yuan is like finding a treasure.

However, the benefits that come with them are accompanied by high risks.

He had done Shen Yuan a favor by saving her life, so it was understandable that the Upper City resident, who was punished and killed, would stand on her side.

But what will the other people in the upper town think and do?

For them to cooperate, they must have shared interests.

Is it enough to rely solely on their idealistic concept of "liberating the city and achieving universal harmony"?

It's not easy for them to actually do that, and the resulting partnership is not very solid.

There is always the possibility of betraying each other.

If the legendary city lord's faction were to discover this, he would have no doubt that he was a pawn discarded by these upper-city organizations.

If it were him, he would also abandon these people immediately to save himself.

This point wasn't considered before because the timing wasn't right, and it was hard to say whether Shen Yuan could be used as a go-between.

Now it's a done deal, and it's urgent.

While observing the situation on the field, he silently pondered in his mind what his next move should be.

"Guest, I can show you around too. What do you think of me? That girl is just a new employee we hired yesterday. What if she's clumsy and makes you unhappy?"

After Yang Mo finished settling the bill, the strange creature he was controlling prepared to take Shen Yuan away.

Huang Xiaoqi immediately spoke up to stop her, her face showing no flattery or expectation, only worry for her future safety.

His tone of voice was always obsequious.

In her eyes, being taken away by the strange guest was no different from being declared dead.

In the past, none of the neighbors in the suburbs who were taken away had a good ending.

She pulled Shen Yuan behind her and pleaded, "Guest, please consider me."
