The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

"Welcome, guests! The amusement park has prepared a private escape room for you in advance, and we guarantee you'll have a great time!" Wang Defa stepped forward and greeted the group in a friendly tone.

The eerie creature that had been following them remained silent, only glancing briefly at Yang Mo's eerie companion as he got out of the car, giving a barely perceptible nod to its large head.

However, after seeing the lively and energetic Shen Yuan in person, he was momentarily lost in thought.

It floated to her side and circled around her, observing her slowly.

"Let's go." Yang Mo only replied with two words, then took the lead and headed straight for the amusement park.

Li Can remained by the school bus, hesitant to make a move.

After Zhou Ye turned off the car and parked it, he looked at him, then turned to look at Li Lan and Wang Defa, and hesitated for a long time before stopping.

Wang Defa, who had clearly recognized each other, coughed lightly a few times and winked at Li Lan.

"So, what are we doing here...?"

"I see you're working hard too, why don't you stay outside and rest for a while? I'll take care of the guests inside." Li Lan said, tilting her head to look at the strange figure beside her as she spoke.

Several ellipses appeared in the comments above Feng Tian's head, and in the end, she also gave in.

"Anything is fine, as long as you're here."

"Okay, then Lao Wang, you don't need to go yet. I think this driver across the street might also like to have some fun at the amusement park. Why don't you take him around?"

Zhou Ye pretended to refuse, took a flyer from Wang Defa's arms, glanced at it performatively, and then agreed.

After the two left side by side, only Li Can, his sister Li Lan, and Xing Tiantian remained on the field.

Shen Yuan had already followed Yang Mo into the amusement park area, turning back every few steps.

After a while, seeing that the crowd hadn't caught up, he turned around in the park and called out, "Brother Xing, hurry up!"

"Okay! You guys go first." Li Can raised her voice a little.

"Dad, I don't want to play escape room games, they're not fun. I want to ride a roller coaster every day." Xing Tiantian tugged at Li Can's clothes with her tentacles, looking at the group of adults who had already made arrangements, and felt quite resentful.

Li Can squatted down to comfort him, "Yes, Daddy has things to do here. I'll take you after I'm done with the guests, okay? If you don't like this, why don't you stay with the driver from your school for a while?"

"Dad will come to see you when he's done with his work."

Li Lan watched him call him "Dad" repeatedly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

She stared intently at the little oddity, seemingly deep in thought.

"Okay, then Daddy must come early." It sullenly for a moment, then forgot its troubles and flew off towards Wang Defa and Zhou Ye's retreating figures.

Wait for me! Wait for me!

The two were originally chatting together with their arms around each other, but when they sensed someone behind them, they turned around, smiled, and waved to Xing Tiantian, who was by their side.

After finally seeing Xing Tian off, Li Can breathed a sigh of relief.

Having too many people around him is ultimately not good, nor is it safe.

It's a good thing that Zhou Ye and Wang Defa stayed outside to provide backup.

In this way, when he and his sister Li Lan were negotiating with the people of Shangcheng in the secret room, they wouldn't all be surrounded.

They each had their own concerns.

Feng Tian's eerie aura slowly drifted to the brother and sister, staring into their eyes.

Actually, I think you two look a bit alike; someone who didn't know you might think you were a family... But that's not important. Come inside with me.

"Oh, you're joking. I'm just a small restaurant owner in the suburbs. I've hardly ever been here. How would I know this young lady, let alone be related to her?" Li Can adopted the air of a seasoned businessman, half-smiling.

"Is that so? Maybe I misread it. It's getting late, everyone."

Feng Tian's eerie presence floated ahead, while Li Can and Li Lan walked behind.

While Li Can wasn't paying attention, his younger sister Li Lan gently patted the miniature puppet vulture standing by her chest pocket.

Li Can gave a signal with his eyes, then closed them and quickly opened them again.

Then he steered the vulture toward Wang Defa and his group.

He acted as his own eyes and ears outside, keeping a close watch at all times.

He didn't know if his decision to completely confront and cooperate with the Uptown people would go smoothly, and the longer time passed, the more anxious he felt.

Whether this was a trap or a mutually beneficial arrangement, no one can say for sure.

We can only take it one step at a time and adapt to changing circumstances.

I had some pre-prepared contingency plans in mind, so I wasn't completely clueless.

As night fell, the entire Happy Amusement Park was illuminated by colorful neon lights.

This place should have been filled with laughter and bustling crowds.

It was as quiet as if the place were dead.

The eerie guests remained silent, making no sound.

All that's left are those bullet comments floating among Ferris wheels, pirate ships, roller coasters, carousels, and the like.

From a distance, the text appears as layers upon layers, with various fonts of different sizes and styles interspersed among them.

The only source of the noise was the engine running and the friction sound of the machine.

And occasionally, a few words of conversation from the local residents as they dealt with strange customers while working.

That's still pitifully little.

So after they got off the school bus, their brief gathering and conversation attracted the attention of some people.

But they quickly looked away.

This kind of situation happens every day. Although it is unusual, it is not entirely without precedent.

In the darkness, Li Can, her sister, and Feng Tian walked side by side in an eerie manner, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

More and more strange creatures that originally came from Baijie Hotel have arrived. There are a few of them around, and I even served them food.

They were all quite familiar faces.

Judging from their appearance, they should be members of Shen Yuan's organization in Shangcheng.

Based on this calculation, he felt that they had developed quite a few people over the years, and their numbers were approaching twenty or so.

And that doesn't even include the other strange occurrences of people not actually on the scene but also keeping watch.

He had gained a general understanding of the environment here.

The further you walk, the dimmer the lights become.

A large, closed, rusty, silver-gray iron gate came into view.

Huge banners and promotional posters were pasted on the walls around the door.

"Midnight Horror, who can really get out, unravel the mystery..." My sister muttered to herself as she looked at the slogan on the wall.

【We won't go to any overly difficult escape rooms; we'll mainly be in rooms for conversation.】A strange message appeared on the screen.

"Um."

Through the hole drilled in the middle of the iron gate, Li Can could see Shen Yuan sitting in the hall waiting for her turn.

The strange creature that came with them on the school bus was floating around on the side.

There were only the two of them in the entire hall.

The venue was completely booked out; there wasn't even a staff member to guide us.

Pushing open the door and entering, Yang Mo seemed a little anxious.

Why did it take you so long to arrive?

[We were delayed on the way.]

"So you two are... Yang Mo and Feng Tian?" Shen Yuan hugged her slightly cold arms and looked at the two strange figures.

"Let's go inside and talk." Feng Tian manipulated her eerie tentacles, pulling up Shen Yuan who was sitting, and kept stroking her arm, seemingly still immersed in the confusion between her death and resurrection.

Yang Mo, who was standing to the side, heard Shen Yuan pronounce his name directly, which confirmed her identity completely.

After all, the people in the lower town wouldn't know their real names.
