The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

"Don't worry, our second wave of instigating internal strife still has the same purpose: to create an opportunity for Yang Mo and the others."

"Although the first round of bomb attacks on the city had some effect, diverting the city lord's mansion's resources."

"But they reacted too quickly, and we couldn't restrain them at all."

"This second round of attacks will be even more intense."

The second round Li Can mentioned involved assassinating them without alerting the supernatural forces, ensuring that the person controlling them behind the facade died without them even realizing it.

Although there are fewer strange occurrences in the lower city now, they are not completely absent. Compared to its most prosperous period, it looks deserted.

But Li Can and his group only wanted to cause destruction, which was just right. The strange number of them was enough to carry out their plan, and also enough to avoid attracting too much attention from the people in the upper city.

Look, not long after the city gate assembly ended, both processes controlled by Li Can are on the right track.

The infrastructure renovation is progressing steadily, and the dungeon players are taking another step forward by assassinating and killing the people of the upper city.

No matter how calm the City Lord's Mansion is now, they can't resolve everything at once.

Furthermore, with Yang Mo and Feng Tian's rebel organization still secretly causing trouble, the City Lord's Mansion is in serious trouble.

"It's pretty intense. I hope everything goes smoothly." Li Lan slumped in the metal cargo box behind the tractor, utterly exhausted.

Since Li Can couldn't take matters into her own hands, she, Wang Defa, and Zhou Ye did most of the killings behind the scenes.

As for the three college students nominally named "Xing Dong, west, and Nan," their main task was to help Li Can with the city-building project at hand.

They weren't of any help in this matter.

It's not an easy task for just a few of them to choose the right monster in the lower city and kill it with a single blow.

It is very dangerous.

However, in order to successfully escape the dungeon and protect "Peach Blossom's" safety, the group risked their lives.

Even though they usually disliked each other a lot in the First Base, now that they had a life-or-death bond, they let bygones be bygones.

Before that fight at the First Base, no one could have imagined that they would have such a tender side to each other today.

Life is unpredictable.

Perhaps it was because of the success of Li Can's assassination plan.

Along the way, he deliberately drove the slowest, noisiest, and most eye-catching tractor towards that underground casino.

Both he and Li Lan could sense the increasingly somber atmosphere here.

More and more seemingly well-trained eerie creatures, trailing afterimages, entered the lower town to act as overseers of the indigenous people's construction work.

In reality, they are investigating one by one who killed so many people in the upper city.

Given their lack of information, even a fool would know that the people in the lower city had completely declared war on them, given the bizarre and fluctuating situation.

The first time was just a minor incident, but the second time it was completely irreversible.

The environment along the street was filled with a strange atmosphere.

Everyone was on edge, seeing threats everywhere.

"Looks like the plan was a success." Li Can casually spat out the foxtail grass in his mouth and drove his rumbling tractor past the strange creatures that were rushing towards him from the side.

The more flamboyant he is and the more he appears in public, the safer his people will be.

They're causing trouble right under my nose, it's like the darkest hour is under the lamp, it's just too interesting.

Lost in thought, Li Can unknowingly drove to the entrance of the underground casino.

"Dazhuang, I told you to get a different car, but you insisted on driving this thing. It's too slow, we've been waiting for you for ages." Qian Shi saw Li Can and quickly limped over to greet him.

He arrived quickly in Shen Yuan's car.

It turns out that Li Can's rise to power brought prosperity to his entire clan, and nominally, all the members of the "entire clan" were promoted and obtained official positions in infrastructure projects.

Qian Shi was one of them, wielding power like a tiger.

But when faced with a truly difficult situation, there's nothing that can be done; one has to call for help and summon Li Can.

"Tractors are so much fun!" Li Can chuckled, gesturing to his steed.

Qian Shi was speechless.

"Stop joking around. Come on, look, this is the casino I told you about before."

"I was planning to bring you here, but times have really changed. Even this place is going to be demolished."

"Did you see that old man sitting on the roof over there? He's the one who's really difficult to deal with."

Li Can squinted and looked at the roof of the flat-roofed house with red tiles on a sloping roof opposite.

An elderly man with white hair, who looked to be around eighty or ninety years old, was wearing a long black linen robe and leaning against the chimney on the roof.

In his left hand he held a floral ceramic bowl filled with murky yellow liquor, while in his right hand he held chopsticks holding peeled, damp, pickled peanuts from another plastic bag.

A bite of peanuts to go with the wine, followed by a sip of Shaoxing wine.

Then, under the dim moonlight of the dark night, sitting high up with a gentle breeze, I felt very comfortable.

His long, white eyebrows drooped downwards, and his eyes were narrowed, with a glint of shrewdness visible in his pupils.

With only a few teeth remaining, almost all of them had fallen out, and he didn't chew the peanuts properly, just swallowing them haphazardly.

With a series of smacking sounds as he swallowed his liquor, he sincerely protested to Li Can, Qian Shi, and the others:

"I'm not leaving! Go ahead and tear me and my house down!"

He had an air of nonchalance, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

Qian Shi was so angry that his eyes turned red.

"What can we do? We can't get through to him at all."

Besides the indigenous people waiting for construction below, Li Can's acquaintances present are Qian Shi, Shen Yuan, and his sister Li Lan.

Qian Shi was still determined to help Li Can complete this task properly.

Everyone else seemed indifferent and didn't care.

Shen Yuan even laid out a confiscated blanket in the truck bed out of boredom, and lay back on it leisurely, staring blankly at the sky with only a crescent moon in the dark sky.

There are no stars here.

Whether it's the night in the upper town or the evening in the lower town.

"It's alright, he's so old, how long can he keep this up? We're all willing to put up with him, but he can't keep this up for long..."

Li Can was not in a hurry and offered Qian Shi a few words of simple comfort.

He suddenly realized what was going on and finally felt relieved. "No wonder you weren't in a hurry, old man! It's windy up there. I advise you to come down soon, or you might fall and then try to extort money from others."

With this newfound confidence, Qian Shi began to speak arrogantly.

He wandered around smugly.

The old man ignored Qian Shi's nonsense and continued drinking and eating peanuts.

Li Can stood below the house. Because of his absorption of the crystal core, his eyesight was better. Through the darkness, he carefully observed the old man's condition.

It seems a bit strange.
