Speaking, Li Ke couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He didn't care. In this situation, what did it matter if he spat out blood, or even lost an arm?

"Damn it, I have to find a way to take a few more with me."

After spitting out blood and starting to pant, Li Ke looked at the wooden frame in his hand. He materialized the last two sets of Gunpowder, then violently tore open the unscientific little sacks and threw them directly at the zombies below.

The two unscientific little sacks continuously sprayed black Gunpowder in the air, scattering it over the zombies.

Then, Li Ke, who was already nearing his limit, directly pulled the trigger in his hand, and a series of Bullets hit the scattered Gunpowder.

Instantly, two clouds of fire exploded in the air. To Li Ke's surprise, the two little sacks were also ignited, and then they exploded violently, creating a shockwave.

Li Ke, who was thrown half out, naturally suffered the impact of the shockwave. He was blown away for a moment, and then slammed heavily onto the stone slab.

Intense pain, another ringing in his ears, and a large amount of flames appeared.

But Li Ke didn't care about anything this time.

He took out the grilled meat made by Erina Nakiri from his pocket. This was a reserve he had put in his pocket, ready to eat if he had a chance to escape.

But in his current state, let alone escape, it would be lucky if he could live for another half an hour.

Eating the grilled meat bit by bit, Li Ke's consciousness became more and more blurred. Finally, as he felt a hazy series of explosions and burning sounds, his eyes slowly closed.

"I..."

Am I going to die?

Darkness descended.

Li Ke's last thought was just one.

Finally...

The night passed, and a refreshing wind constantly swept across Li Ke's cheeks. He opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a blackened ceiling.

The intense headache made him feel dizzy. He used a great deal of strength to sit up from the broken stone wall, looking around blankly.

Then, he saw a large area of charred corpses, a town completely burned to the ground, and a forest still emitting thick smoke, all of which indicated what had happened here before.

Of course, the Merchant's building was as intact as ever.

"Could it be that this place was hell from the beginning?"

This thought arose in Li Ke's hazy brain, but the next moment, the pain in his body and his hungry stomach woke him up, realizing that he was not dead.

"So, how did I survive?"

Li Ke didn't understand. He looked down at the gas station, only to find that the gas station, which had been intact before but just had no gas in the pumps, had become a ruin. There were several large pits on the ground, and even the location of the oil storage tank in the back had a huge crater.

But even so, there were still scattered flames burning below, as if boundless flames would erupt again at any moment.

Li Ke was stunned for a long time before he reacted and understood what had happened.

"The fire ignited the storage tank? Then a bunch of zombies were ignited and killed, and the fire has been burning until now?"

That was indeed the case, but not entirely: after Li Ke passed out, the Gunpowder he ignited successfully ignited the gasoline remaining in the gas pump, and then the flames burned directly to the storage tank. Then the storage tank naturally exploded, turning this area into a sea of ​​fire.

But the endless zombies were still charging towards here non-stop, and were burned to death by the flames.

But after Li Ke had been unconscious for four hours, these zombies suddenly lost their vitality, all lost interest in this place, and left scattered, just like when they came, leaving only those zombies who died because of the flames.

Li Ke didn't know these things, but being able to survive already made him feel very lucky.

"Although I don't know how I survived, since I survived, then I will continue to live well..."

After coughing, Li Ke looked at his System panel, and then a large string of negative statuses appeared on his panel.

Brain Concussion: 54 hours 36 minutes. Fracture: 68 hours 7 minutes. Internal Bleeding: 72 hours 21 minutes. Healed Infection: 23%. Laceration: 36 hours 21 minutes. Erina Nakiri's Love: 38 hours 42 minutes.

"Huh?"

Li Ke could understand the others, but the last one made Li Ke a little curious, so he opened it to take a look.

Erina Nakiri's Love: After eating dishes from the Erina Nakiri series, it will add 50 points to the maximum health value, 50 points to the maximum stamina value, 200% stamina recovery, and 20 points of health recovery per hour according to the love that Erina Nakiri has poured into you, and will not be killed by any negative buffs, injuries, or diseases. Treats Infection 50%.

Li Ke immediately thought of the grilled meat he had eaten before, so he immediately looked over, and sure enough, he saw something different.

A big E appeared on the grilled meat.

Li Ke put it into the Inventory, and then found that the name of the grilled meat had changed.

Erina Nakiri's Honeymoon Grilled Meat: Increases maximum health by 50 points, increases maximum stamina by 50 points, restores stamina by 200%, restores health by 20 points per hour, and will not be killed by any negative buffs, injuries, or diseases. Treats Infection 50%. Grilled meat with a maiden's love added, it's very delicious!

Li Ke couldn't help but burst into laughter. He glanced at his remaining 6 health points and laughed even harder.

Then, he stood up, intending to continue his life and face the next zombie horde.

But at that moment, an incredible thing appeared before his eyes.

Two orbs of light suddenly appeared above the town that had been reduced to ruins. The next moment, two figures appeared in Li Ke's eyes, looking bewildered.

One had blonde hair and wore clothes that looked like a kimono, while Li Ke recognized the other one at a glance.

"Kelly?!"

Chapter 17: Two Women

Li Ke remembered very clearly what the woman named Kelly looked like. To be precise, any Dungeon Fighter Online Player wouldn't forget what this woman looked like.

Whether it was the two large hairpins stuck in her hair behind her head, the cheongsam-like dress, or the lace glove on only one arm, they all pointed to one thing.

That this person was Kelly.

However, the other person was a bit different. Li Ke couldn't see the person's face clearly, only knowing that she was wearing clothes similar to a kimono, and after landing, she kept shivering, looking as if she was frightened.

"Such poor mental fortitude?"

But even so, Li Ke didn't plan to take any risks. He sat on his platform, took out his gun, and quietly recovered his strength, waiting for them to discover him.

However, Li Ke still underestimated the intuition and keenness of this woman who resembled Kelly. Before long, the woman looked over, and when she saw the gun in Li Ke's hand, her aura suddenly changed, but she quickly relaxed again, and a smile appeared on her face.

Then she waved her arm at Li Ke, causing the two mounds of snow-white flesh on her chest to sway constantly, as if one could almost see something even better.

And the moment she spoke, Li Ke heard that extremely familiar, strong accent.

"Hey, little brother, you look like you need help. Did you get separated from your companions? Also, if you don't mind, could you tell me where this is?"

A confident yet glib tone, this was undoubtedly Kelly's voice. And at this time, Li Ke also saw clearly that the other party had two strange revolvers stuck in her waist.

If it was the real Kelly, the Kelly from Arad, then Li Ke believed that even if he fired first, Kelly could send the Bullets into his head in an instant. So he took a deep breath, aiming Kelly's head with the Game System, while answering her question.

"I don't know where this is, but it's a pretty dangerous place... Also, I do need help, but how can I trust you?"

When Li Ke spoke, he realized that his voice had become incredibly hoarse. Not only that, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a burst of dizziness, even nausea.

This was an injury caused by severe internal damage, and Li Ke had no way to deal with it.

Kelly shook her head helplessly at this. With Li Ke's blood-soaked appearance, there was nothing she could do. She only knew a little bit of battlefield first aid, and nothing more.

And the most important thing was that she didn't have any first aid medicine on her. If she did, she wouldn't have been reduced to jumping into the sea, trying to find a way out.

"Ah, this... Even if you say that, I don't have any medicine to treat you. Also, is this Arad? Why does it look like the Sky Realm, with so many corpses and smoke? But don't worry, as long as you don't attack me, I won't attack you either. The famous Kelly wouldn't do such a thing."

Kelly pointed at herself with her thumb, then put on a helpless look.

But at this moment, the other person who appeared with Kelly spoke. She covered her abdomen, taking deep breaths, and finally managed to speak.

"I'm medical. Treat his external wounds first... I can heal him."

The blonde woman said, throwing down a wad of gauze and bandages, then knelt on the ground, clutching her chest and taking deep breaths.

And Li Ke also saw the appearance of this woman at this time.

Overall, she was a very beautiful woman. Her chest was unmatched even by Erina Nakiri, and the neckline of her clothes was similar to Kelly's, the type that made people suspect that one could see certain things with just a little movement.

But Li Ke looked at her hair and couldn't remember any character who was a seriously ill doctor.

After all, judging from this woman's appearance, her condition wasn't very good either, just like his.

"Okay, then little brother, don't shoot, okay? Once we've treated you, you should be willing to tell us everything about this place, right? Um, wait a moment, I'll find something that can help."

Kelly waved at Li Ke, intending to find something nearby to use as a ladder, but Li Ke shook his head.

"No need, I'll come down myself..."

Li Ke coughed twice. He barely stood up and walked to the wooden blocks he had built before. Most of these wooden blocks had been damaged, forcing Li Ke to choose a more laborious method.

Which was to build a spiral downward ladder on this pillar.

Wooden blocks constantly appeared in Li Ke's hands, constantly piecing together on the pillar out of thin air, leaving Kelly below dumbfounded.

In her eyes, Li Ke suddenly reached out, and a large piece of wood appeared under his feet, then stood there, as if creating a staircase out of thin air.

"My God... Are you a magician?"

Watching Li Ke walk down little by little, Kelly watched Li Ke, making sure she could catch him if he accidentally fell, while asking curiously.

But Li Ke just coughed and waved, because he really didn't want to talk right now.

Walking down the stairs little by little, Li Ke really felt like he was about to die. With every step, he could feel himself getting closer to death. And when he was almost at the bottom, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell straight to the ground.

The ground kept magnifying in front of his eyes. Just when he thought he was about to fall to the ground, a touch of snow-white suddenly appeared on Li Ke's face, and then he felt his head hit a rather soft hill, feeling a fragrance mixed with gunpowder, and a faint smell of smoke.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been saved by this person who resembled Kelly. Only then did he let down his guard and relax his mind.

His whole body involuntarily leaned on Kelly, and was supported by Kelly to a relatively clean and flat asphalt road, allowing Li Ke to lie on the ground and rest.

But what puzzled the two of them was that the blonde woman who claimed to be a doctor was still shivering there, with no intention of coming over.

Li Ke glanced at Kelly, then tried to move his arm, but couldn't lift it at all. Trying to look up also caused a burst of dizziness.

It wouldn't be good to delay any longer at this time, so he directly took out his scrap iron machine gun and Bullets, then pointed to the back of the gas station.

"Here are guns and Bullets, and there is a pond over there, as well as tools for boiling water. But be careful, there are many zombies in this world, and you can only kill them by hitting their heads."

After saying these words, Li Ke felt another wave of dizziness, then everything went black again, and he passed out.

Kelly looked at the unconscious Li Ke, and the inexplicably appearing machine gun and Bullets, and couldn't help scratching her head, looking at the female doctor who was still trembling.

She originally wanted to ask her why she hadn't started treatment yet, but seeing her barely maintaining her expression, trying to prevent her face from completely collapsing due to fear, she understood.

"Hemophobia?"

Without saying anything more, Kelly picked up the machine gun Li Ke had given her, picked up some Bullets scattered on the ground, and walked towards the back of the gas station.

Fortunately, the pond behind the gas station was not affected. Although it was covered with ashes of grass and trees, she couldn't care about that at this time. After filtering it slightly with her clothes, Kelly came to Li Ke with a bucket of water, wiped Li Ke's face, and directly tore Li Ke's clothes to check his injuries.

"This kid is really lucky..."

Looking at the dense lacerations and bruises on Li Ke's body, as well as the obviously dislocated bones, Kelly couldn't help but click her tongue.

If this position was slightly off, the bone would directly pierce his lung, and it would be impossible to survive.

To be precise, this uncle in front of her wouldn't have been able to hold on until they arrived.

After wiping most of the blood off Li Ke's body, Kelly looked at the still trembling female doctor, and seeing that she still didn't dare to move, she asked directly.

"Although I've tried my best, there's still some that I haven't wiped clean, so can you treat him or not?"

Although she guessed that the woman in front of her should have some post-traumatic sequelae or something, Li Ke's condition was really too bad, so Kelly didn't have a better way.

"I... I'll try. You just hold my hand and put it on his chest, and I'll treat him."

The blonde woman turned away with her eyes closed, but Kelly could still see her body trembling, and she also really wanted to complain about how the other party was going to treat Li Ke when she couldn't see.

But after thinking about the magical abilities that Li Ke had shown, she did as she was told.

Maybe this woman has the same abilities.
