I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 67 Death Escape Adventure
Li Changgeng was shocked by Li Zhiman's words. Although he still had a photo of that yellowed note on his phone with the coordinates clearly written on it, Li Changgeng had never checked what those precise latitude and longitude coordinates represented.

Li Changgeng took out his phone, but the screen was black. He put the phone down again; it was out of battery and he couldn't check anything.

Judging from Li Changgeng's expression, it already speaks volumes. She was right, of course, because Li Zhiman's father had been secretly following Li Changgeng's parents and had tampered with Li Changgeng's mother's hair clip and necklace, placing a location signal transmitter that could monitor her specific location.

Li Zhiman was very understanding. "Enter the coordinates I just mentioned, and then locate it."

The intelligent flying car is equipped with countless high-precision cameras, sensors, and more, and has even reached the L9 level of intelligent driving system. All sounds are recorded, and soon, an arrow cursor pops up on the display screen, pointing to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the location, along with a geographical description: the Dead Sea is surrounded by high mountains, and water evaporation leads to increased salt content, making it the lowest point on the world's landmass.

In the past year, many strange phenomena have appeared near the Dead Sea, including lights, the rumble of earthquakes, and strange animal cries. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on the world's landmass, signifying its extraordinary nature.

“AIDK Technology has been closely monitoring your parents’ whereabouts. My father wanted to discuss a collaboration with your father, but the talks fell through! I’m not afraid to tell you that the collaboration was about breaking through the bottleneck of free coding in the human gene sequence. If this is achieved, humans could become liquid or even gaseous, which would be a great breakthrough for us carbon-based life forms!”

"Human lifespan will be very long, individual consciousness will gradually become blurred, and collective consciousness will become stronger, so that we can step onto a higher level of universe civilization, such as Type II civilization, or even Type III civilization, or even a more advanced civilization."

Li Changgeng did not want to act rashly before he had a clear understanding of the situation.

Black Sea City holds too many unknowns, with undercurrents surging and countless unbelievable events hidden in the darkness. The Night Hawk's talons tore through the bones of the Skeleton Grim Reaper, something Li Changgeng hadn't anticipated. There are many powerful anomalies and many formidable enemies.

Given Li Zhiman's high social standing and status as an only child, Li Changgeng couldn't believe that she would break the curfew to go out without anyone protecting her. How could a girl like her possibly do that?

Absolutely impossible. If Li Zhiman was left alone, then who was protecting her?
Li Changgeng touched the extremely luxurious flying car. Looking at the exquisite workmanship and stitching on the car door, he realized that this flying car was likely protecting Li Zhiman. Li Zhiman's father was a major shareholder of AIDK Technology Company, and they had quite a few high-tech products that ordinary people couldn't see.

Although Li Zhiman is naive and innocent, she is not stupid. How could she not know the dangers of going to the mass graves in the west of the city?

The lighting inside the flying car is very soft, simulating the solar spectrum. The temperature and humidity are comfortable, and the natural wind blows, making it feel like a gentle breeze. Sitting inside the car is truly a pleasure.

"My father is a mythological archaeologist. What does he have to do with a technology company?" Li Zhiman's talk of closely monitoring his whereabouts is nothing more than covert surveillance.

Li Zhiman said decisively, "Yes! Cosmic civilizations are classified into levels, such as Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and so on. Technology companies use terms like planetary civilization, stellar civilization, galactic civilization, etc., which are more intuitive. Currently, we have reached the planetary level of 0.89, and we have not yet reached the end of the planetary civilization level."

"But the archaeological materials on mythology that your parents possess could directly enable civilization on Earth to leapfrog to the highest level of civilization, a god-like civilization."

"Everyone is a god-like creator."

Through the car window, Li Changgeng saw that there were almost no lights below, many buildings were abandoned and dark, and the mass graves were approaching soon.

Li Changgeng didn't believe in any god-level civilization. If such a civilization existed, it would surely be Ragnarok, where no one would submit to anyone else, and no number of Earths would be enough to destroy it.

With current technology, humanity on Earth hasn't even ventured beyond the solar system, let alone become a stellar civilization. We can't even control, absorb, or utilize the energy of tsunamis and earthquakes.

"That can't be a reason for your father to spy on my parents, can it?" Li Changgeng even suspected that his parents' disappearance, or even their death, was related to Li Zhiman's father. Although facts speak louder than words, and that family photo really was something from his father's wallet, Li Changgeng did not believe that his parents would be eaten.

Li Changgeng realized he was overthinking things; Li Zhiman's approach to him was likely related to his parents.

Li Changgeng found it incredible that his parents, who were indeed engaged in mythological archaeology, could change the course of human civilization, as they hadn't left any special records at home.

“Chang Geng, don’t be angry. Don’t you want your uncle and aunt’s archaeological achievements to be widely recognized? They’ve devoted decades of their lives to this! The world should know how great they are.” Seeing that Li Chang Geng didn’t seem annoyed, Li Zhiman continued, “Did your uncle and aunt leave behind anything, like archaeological materials or something special or unusual that they gave you?”

"No." Li Changgeng shook his head. He wasn't lying. He and his sister Li Ying knew nothing about the archaeological data his parents had collected. In fact, his parents had deliberately concealed and avoided these things.

If there really is one, it might be that oddly shaped key found under the floor.

drop by drop...

On the water screen of the flying car, a button to request a video call appeared.

"I answered, it was a video call from 7UP. This little guy is very clingy, he probably misses me." Li Zhiman became much more obedient.

The scene changed, and there was a very large tabby cat on the other side.

Meow meow……

The tabby cat stretched its neck and meowed, but the sound wasn't very loud.

Isn't this 7UP?!

Li Changgeng was certain that it was his pet cat, Qixi, so how did it end up at Li Zhiman's house?

"Seven Up, I'll come back later and cuddle you to sleep. Be good, don't destroy the house!" Li Zhiman waved at the water screen, "Be a good girl and wait for me at home."

7UP stretched out its claws and kept scratching at the camera. After a few scratches, the video cut out.

Li Zhiman proudly said, "My Qixi is smart, isn't she? She can even hang up video calls. I found Qixi as a stray cat on the street a few years ago. I cuddle with her every night when I sleep."

Li Changgeng had a strange feeling. How could Qixi have ended up at Li Zhiman's house? Before she got lost, Li Changgeng was sleeping with Qixi in his arms.

So it turns out he and Li Zhiman were indirectly sleeping in each other's arms through 7UP.

"If I told you that this cat named Qi Xi is mine, would you believe me?" Li Changgeng didn't understand how Li Zhiman knew Qi Xi's name.

"Oh, really? You have no proof, who would believe that?" Li Zhiman's eyes darted around.

The car slowed down and began to fall slowly until it landed steadily on the lawn.

Three more flying cars landed in succession.

Zhou Lei led the group of bodyguards, surrounding Gu Chao in the middle, and the group swaggered along, chatting and laughing.

"Wait, a few more people are coming. Once everyone's here, we'll start the death escape adventure game!" Zhou Lei mocked Li Changgeng with a smirk. "I want to be in Li Changgeng's group!"
