for Advance Chapter
When Li Ke woke up again, he found himself in a tent. Not only that, he also smelled the scent of broth.
Although he still felt dizzy, he still tried to stand up and climb out of the bed.
But what surprised him was that although his hands and feet still ached slightly and were tied up with splints that looked like they were made of small branches, the pain in his internal organs and head had disappeared.
Moreover, when I moved, I no longer felt pain in my arms, only a slight tingling sensation.
"Strange... How long have I been unconscious?"
When Li Ke walked out of the tent, he saw a bonfire and two women who were cooking meat in an iron bucket beside the bonfire. The two women were still dressed the same way he had seen them before.
Li Ke looked at the somewhat boyish woman, and his mind gradually regained clarity. He looked at her and called out tentatively.
"Kelly?"
Hearing Li Ke calling her, Kelly, who was cooking soup, turned her head, gave Li Ke a handsome smile, and then waved the wooden stick in her hand that replaced the spoon.
"Oh, you're awake. The meal will be ready soon. Just sit there and wait for a while... Oh, this is Tsunade Senju. She saved you before. You should thank her."
Senju Tsunade?
Li Ke felt a little depressed. He certainly knew who the owner of this name was, but he never expected that it was Tsunade Senju from Naruto.
But she has hemophobia. Have all her relatives died?
Li Ke couldn't help but look at Tsunade Senju and bowed directly to her.
"Thank you for saving me."
Tsunade did not express much gratitude to Li Ke. She just sat there, silently looking at the iron bucket in front of her where meat was cooking, looking quite depressed.
"Nothing, this also comes at a price."
After she finished speaking, Niu turned his head and looked at Li Ke.
"As a price, you should also tell us what's going on here, right?"
She was very curious about her experience of coming to this world. She had just planned to leave Konoha Village and take Shizune to find a quiet place to live. As soon as she left the house, she appeared here and saw countless dead bodies.
She was very annoyed with this kind of thing, because she almost thought this place was hell.
"This place is actually no different from hell."
Li Ke sighed, sat down on the ground, and began to describe the situation in this world.
"The humans here have been struck by an unknown disaster, transforming into corpse monsters that only crave human flesh. Only by blowing their heads off can they be completely killed. But the worst part isn't just this; it's the strangeness of this world. Every time we kill a zombie here, we gain experience points. This experience level increases us, unlocking a range of abilities in this world. The special abilities you've seen before come from the power of this world."
Li Ke paused for a moment, thinking of his own level, so he subconsciously opened his character bar, and then discovered a shocking fact.
He reached level fifty-level!
He quickly opened various columns and found that not only the map was opened, but even the tasks and skills could be opened!
And miraculously, a clock and letters representing the North and South Poles appeared above his head, telling him that the current time was 8:20 in the morning. This gave him a clear time reference and allowed him to know that he was facing north.
However, the task bar is blank, and in the skill bar, only perception, strength, endurance, agility, and wisdom can be upgraded. As for any special skills, they are still blank, but it can be seen that as long as you continue to upgrade, you will be able to unlock them later.
However, he only has one skill point now, and he doesn't know what to upgrade yet.
This gave him some hope, hope of surviving the tide of zombies.
No, with these two...
Li Ke looked at Tsunade and Kaili, and his uneasy heart calmed down.
Let's not talk about Kelly's strength for now. This guy can't be bad at all as he can survive in the heaven. The amazing one is Tsunade. Her strength is very strong. Even if she can't kill zombies due to hemophobia, she is still a good hand at building fortresses!
At least there are no problems with mining!
And during this pause, Kelly spoke.
"Are you saying that the ability to conjure wood and guns out of thin air is a power given by this world? I thought it was some kind of space equipment. Also, do you have a way to get back?"
Tsunade on the side also nodded. When she saw Li Ke transform into wood for the first time, she almost thought it was a mutated wood escape technique, but it didn't look like that.
"Yes, and I can turn you into players by consuming experience points as a reward for saving me... Do you want to become players?"
Li Ke nodded. He could see that Kelly and Tsunade didn't believe him yet, so he started explaining directly.
"Without this player identity, there's no way to interact with the characteristics of this world. For example, in that intact room over there, there's a merchant who's clearly alive, but doesn't look alive at all. Her location and the buildings she's in are invulnerable, so if you can't become a player, you can't even buy anything from her. But speaking of this, how long have I been unconscious?"
"one day."
"Oh no... Then there are only four days left until the next zombie wave."
Li Ke felt a little overwhelmed. With only four days left, he basically had no time to do anything. He could only see if he could dig a tunnel to solve the problem.
"Zombie tide?"
"Yes, the zombie tide. Actually, I just arrived here seven days ago. The day before you saw me, I was surrounded by a zombie tide. Those zombies were densely packed and moving in one direction. Then, when the moon turned blood red, countless zombies would rush towards you frantically, destroying everything in their path. In fact, I don't even know how I survived. Now that I think about it, it must be because of the gas station fire I started."
"As for the way back..."
Li Ke hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out.
"I haven't found the way back yet, but there is a way."
Li Ke said as he took the hot water handed to him by Kelly, then looked at the clear sky, but what he was thinking about was whether Erina was safe.
"I see..."
After listening to this, Kelly crossed her arms and looked at Li Ke thoughtfully, while Tsunade on the side asked directly in a cold tone.
"Let's not worry about the players for now. If you also appeared suddenly, does that mean you have a companion with you? Did you send her back? Also, does this method have any cost?"
After saying that, she stared at Li Ke, wanting to know the answer.
Li Ke nodded, with no intention of hiding anything.
"Yes, I sent her back to her original world. The method I mentioned for returning also came from this. She and I were together due to fear and various other reasons. Afterwards, I discovered that I had a special ability. Whenever someone and I had an emotional connection, I would gain a kind of energy. After accumulating a thousand points, I could send them back. But I don't know if I actually sent them back to their original world."
"ha?"
Kelly tilted her head and pointed to her chest.
"So, if I want to go back through you, I have to sleep with you? What kind of method is that? Aren't you taking advantage of me?"
There was a speechless expression on her face.
"Well, this is the information I know for now, but intercourse shouldn't be mandatory. Since it's the power of emotional connection, perhaps it can be generated after we become partners."
Li Ke was a little embarrassed, and Tsunade turned her head away.
"I hope so."
She still hadn't given up the idea that Li Ke was the mastermind. After all, this was a strange world, and she only saw Li Ke. It would be foolish to believe everything Li Ke said.
Li Ke also knew this.
Tsunade is a ninja after all, and it would be foolish for her to believe him just like that. As for Kairi, if she was the kind of person who could easily trust others, she would have been finished long ago.
"Although I know it's hard for you to trust me, for the sake of the zombie tide that will follow, please trust me as much as possible and cooperate with me."
Li Ke looked at the two people very seriously. Because he couldn't gain their trust, Li Ke decided to do it himself first.
I'll dig an underground fortress for myself first, and as for building a building to resist...
Li Ke thought about the dense swarms of zombies that day and rejected the idea directly, so he chose to face these two people with sincerity.
"I won't force you to do anything. You can explore the truth of this world on your own. As a reward for saving me, I can provide you with some resources and food. But if possible, please don't get scratched. Without medicine, you'll most likely get infected. And if you encounter a screaming zombie, kill it immediately. That kind of zombie can summon other zombies, greatly increasing their strength and speed."
He paused before continuing.
"But please remember, on the third day, no matter where you are or what you've discovered, you must return. Otherwise, without a suitable base, it will be difficult for you to survive the next wave of zombies."
Li Ke's attitude was very serious and he had no intention of hiding anything.
"I see."
Tsunade Senju looked at Kairi, who also looked at her and nodded.
"No problem, then this period of time will be troublesome."
This is the best plan. The two of them plan to explore the surrounding situation before deciding whether to trust Li Ke. Li Ke's tactful attitude also makes them very satisfied.
The three of them chatted about something else, and Li Ke introduced the types of zombies. Then it was time to eat in silence.
What can I say about the broth made by Kairi? It's just edible. Compared with the food made by Erina Nakiri, it's simply pig food, but there's nothing to complain about at this time.
After finishing their meal, the two men planned to go out to investigate the situation, and they didn't even plan to see the strange female businessman. Li Ke still stayed here, watching the two slim figures gradually leave the devastated town, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What a shame."
If Tsunade and Kairi could trust him, there would be a lot less trouble.
Although Kairi took away his scrap machine gun, she did not take all the bullets. She only took more than a hundred bullets and stopped there. Tsunade did not take anything, and it seemed that she planned to let Kairi protect her.
"Then it's time for me to work hard."
Taking a deep breath, Li Ke walked into the female businessman's shop. It was still the same as before. There was still only the female businessman there. She still had that smiling face and didn't show any intention of moving.
Li Ke didn't say anything. His body had not recovered to the point where he could do anything. He directly opened the businesswoman's interface and clicked on the option of 'What work do you have to do'.
And the next moment, the businesswoman moved.
"Oh, you've arrived just in time. I have a lot of work that needs your help."
Standard English came out of the other person's mouth, but Li Ke could understand the other person's voice. Although it was not as pleasant as Erina's tsundere voice, it also revealed a gentle feeling.
Then, one task after another appeared in front of Li Ke.
1. Clear all zombies at the fire station (214 meters).
2. Obtain Baihe smuggled goods in the three-story building (200 meters).
3. Get food supplies from the wooden white hut (160 meters).
4. Clear all zombies in the wooden bungalow (121 meters).
Li Ke took a look and immediately chose the fourth most recent mission. He wanted to see what the missions in this world were like.
And the most important thing is that he is sure that the whole town has been burned down, and there is no hut for him to complete the task!
"That's great! The person I hired before died there, and I was wondering who could help me. It's really great that you can help me!"
After saying that, Li Ke saw a task prompt appear on the right side of his vision. When he opened the map interface, he could also see a big exclamation mark appearing in the ashes of the town, and it was also marked with the word "clean up".
"It seems like the destruction of the cabin hasn't affected the quest mechanism. So, are zombies just appearing out of nowhere, or will I complete the quest immediately after I activate them there?"
Li Ke licked his lips and turned around to leave, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
Can the businesswoman in front of him be used to upgrade his time-travel skill?
Looking at the businesswoman who was still in dishevel, Li Ke was in a state of inner struggle.
To do it or not to do it?
But Li Ke knew very well that when he began to hesitate, it meant that he had already had some ideas. The reason why he did not take action was simply because he did not think enough about it at the moment.
but...
"Not now."
