The blonde woman, guided by Kelly, slowly walked to Li Ke's side, stroking the wounds on his body. But every time she touched the blood, Kelly could clearly feel her hand trembling.

But then, a miraculous scene occurred.

A green light suddenly shone from the woman's palm. After this green light entered Li Ke's body, the wounds on his body visibly began to heal. Not only that, but Li Ke's gradually weakening breathing also became steady.

But the price was that a large amount of fine sweat gradually appeared on the woman's forehead, and her body kept trembling and shaking, as if she was about to fall.

"My Chakra... how can it be so little!"

The blonde woman asked in a weak voice. As she treated Li Ke, she felt her stamina was rapidly decreasing!

This was impossible before!

Then, the moment Li Ke woke up, the woman's body fell towards him, so that the newly awakened Li Ke only had time to see a glimpse of the sun before being hit in the face by a mass of snow-white softness. His breathing stopped directly as a result, causing his brain to become hypoxic again, and he fell into darkness again.

Chapter 18: The Untrusting Each Other

When Li Ke woke up again, he found himself in a tent. Not only that, but he also smelled the aroma of meat soup.

Although his head was still a little dizzy, he still struggled to stand up and climbed out of the bed.

But what surprised him was that although his hands and feet were still aching slightly, and they were tied with splints made of small branches, the pain in his internal organs and head had disappeared.

Moreover, when he moved, his arms no longer felt pain, only a slight tingling.

"Strange... how long have I been unconscious?"

Walking out of the tent, Li Ke saw a bonfire and two women cooking meat in iron buckets by the fire. These two women were still dressed as he had seen them before.

Li Ke looked at the somewhat boyish woman, and his mind gradually regained clarity. He looked at her and tentatively called out.

"Kelly?"

Hearing Li Ke call her, Kelly, who was cooking the soup, turned her head and gave Li Ke a handsome smile, then waved the wooden stick in her hand that she was using as a spoon.

"Oh, you're awake. The food will be ready in a while, you can sit there and wait for a while... Oh, this is Tsunade Senju, she saved you before, you have to thank her properly."

Tsunade Senju?

Li Ke felt a little suppressed. Of course he knew who the owner of this name was, but he never expected that it would be Tsunade Senju from Naruto.

But Hemophobia, are her relatives all dead?

Li Ke couldn't help but look at Tsunade Senju and bowed directly to her.

"Thank you for saving me."

Tsunade didn't show much appreciation for Li Ke's thanks. She just sat there, silently looking at the iron bucket of meat cooking in front of her, looking quite melancholy.

"It's nothing, but there's a price to pay."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Li Ke.

"As a price, you should tell us what's going on here, right?"

She was very curious about her experience in coming to this world. She had just planned to leave Konohagakure and find a quiet place to live with Shizune, but she appeared directly here as soon as she left her house, and saw countless corpses.

She was very annoyed by this kind of thing, because she almost thought this was hell.

"This place is actually no different from hell."

Li Ke sighed, sat on the ground, and began to explain the situation of this world.

"The humans here have all been attacked by an unknown disaster and turned into zombie monsters that are only interested in human flesh. Only by blowing their heads can they be completely killed. But the worst thing is not just this, but the strange place in this world. Here, every time we kill zombies, we can get corresponding EXP, and these EXP will increase our level, and then unlock a series of abilities in this world. Those special abilities you saw before come from the Power of this world."

Li Ke paused. He thought of his level, so he subconsciously opened his character sheet, and then discovered an astonishing fact.

He had risen to level fifty-one!

He quickly opened various columns and found that not only the map was opened, but even the quests and Skills could be opened!

And very strangely, a clock also appeared above his head, as well as letters representing the North and South Poles, telling him that the current time was 8:20 in the morning, giving him a clear time reference, and he also knew that he was now facing north.

It's just that the quest column is blank, and there are only a few attributes in the Skill column that can be upgraded, such as Perception, Power, Stamina, Agility, and Intelligence. As for any special Skills, it is still blank, but it can be seen that as long as you continue to upgrade, you will be able to unlock them later.

It's just that he only has one skill point now, and he doesn't know what to upgrade for the time being.

This gave him some hope, hope to survive the horde.

No, with these two here...

Li Ke looked at Tsunade and Kelly, and his uneasy heart calmed down.

Kelly's strength is not to be mentioned for the time being, this guy can't be bad if he can hang out in the Celestial World, but the powerful one is Tsunade, her Power is very strong, even if she can't kill zombies because of Hemophobia, she is also a good hand at building fortresses!

At least there is no problem with mining!

And during this pause, Kelly spoke.

"Are you saying that the Power of this world is what makes wood appear out of thin air, and firearms appear out of thin air? I thought it was some kind of space equipment. Also, do you have a way to go back?"

Tsunade on the side also nodded. When she first saw Li Ke conjuring wood, she almost thought it was a mutated Wood Release, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"Yes, and I can consume EXP to turn you into Players, as a reward for saving me... do you want to become Players?"

Li Ke nodded. He could see that Kelly and Tsunade didn't trust him yet, so he directly opened his mouth to explain.

"Without this Player status, there is no way to interact with the characteristics of this world. For example, the intact room over there, there is a Merchant who is clearly a living person but doesn't look like a living person at all. The location and building she is in cannot be harmed, so if you cannot become Players, you cannot even buy things from her, but speaking of this, how long have I been unconscious?"

"One day."

"Crap... Then that means there are only four days until the next horde."

Li Ke felt a bit overwhelmed. With only four days, he basically wouldn't have time to do anything. He could only see if he could dig a tunnel to solve the problem.

"Horde?"

"Yes, the horde. Actually, I only arrived here seven days ago. The day before you met me, I was surrounded by a horde. Those zombies were densely packed, all moving in one direction. Then, when the moon turns blood red, countless zombies will rush towards you and destroy everything in their path. I actually don't even know how I survived. Now that I think about it, it must have been because of the fire I caused at the gas station."

"As for a way back..."

Li Ke hesitated, but decided to say it anyway.

"I haven't found a way back yet, but there is a method."

As Li Ke spoke, he took the hot water Kelly offered him, then glanced at the clear sky, wondering if Erina was safe.

"I see..."

After hearing this, Kelly crossed her arms and looked at Li Ke thoughtfully, while Tsunade Senju directly asked in an icy tone.

"The Player thing isn't important right now. If you also appeared suddenly, does that mean there was a companion with you? Did you send her back? And does this method have some kind of cost?"

As she finished speaking, her eyes stared intently at Li Ke, wanting to know the answer.

Li Ke nodded, not intending to hide anything.

"Yes, she was sent back to her original world. As for the method I mentioned, it comes from that. She and I were together because of fear and various other reasons. After that, I discovered that I possessed an ability. Whenever someone has an action with me that involves the power of emotional connection, I can gain a kind of energy. After accumulating a thousand points, I can send that person away, but whether it really sends them back to their original world, I don't know."

"Huh?"

Kelly tilted her head and pointed to her chest.

"So, you're saying that if I want to go back through your method, I have to sleep with you? What kind of method is that? You're taking too much advantage, aren't you?"

Her face wore a speechless expression.

"Well, the information I have for now is that, but intercourse shouldn't be mandatory, because it's the power of emotional connection. Maybe we can generate it after we become partners."

Li Ke was a little embarrassed, while Tsunade Senju turned her head away.

"Hopefully."

She still hadn't given up on the idea that Li Ke was the mastermind, after all, this was a strange world, and she had only seen Li Ke. It would be too foolish to believe everything Li Ke said.

Li Ke knew this as well.

Tsunade Senju was a ninja after all. It would be too foolish if she believed him so easily. As for Kelly, she would have been done for a long time ago if she was the type to easily trust people.

"Although I know it's hard for you to believe me, for the sake of the upcoming horde, please trust me as much as possible and cooperate with me."

Li Ke looked at the two of them very seriously. Because he couldn't gain their trust, Li Ke decided to do it himself first.

He would dig an underground fortress for himself first. As for building a building to resist...

Li Ke thought about the densely packed zombies he saw that day and directly rejected the idea. So, he chose to face these two people with sincerity.

"I won't force you to do anything. You can go and find out the truth of this world for yourselves. As a reward for saving me, I can provide you with some resources and food, but if possible, please don't get scratched, otherwise there's a high chance of infection if there's no medicine. And once you encounter a screaming zombie, please kill it immediately. That kind of zombie can summon other zombies and greatly increase their Power and speed."

He paused before continuing.

"But please remember, when the third day comes, no matter where you are or what you've explored, please be sure to return. Otherwise, without a suitable stronghold, it will be difficult for you to survive the upcoming horde."

Li Ke's attitude was very serious, with no intention of hiding anything.

"I see."

Tsunade Senju looked at Kelly, and Kelly met her gaze, then nodded.

"No problem, then we'll be in your care for this time."

This was the best plan. The two of them planned to explore the surrounding situation and then choose whether to believe Li Ke. Li Ke's tactful attitude also made them very satisfied.

The three of them talked about some more things, and Li Ke introduced the types of zombies. After that, it was a silent mealtime.

Kelly's meat soup, how should he put it, was only edible. Compared to the food made by Erina Nakiri, it was simply pig feed, but there was nothing to be picky about at this time.

After eating, the two of them planned to go out to investigate the situation, without even looking at the strange female merchant. Li Ke stayed here, watching the two slender figures gradually leave the devastated town, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What a pity."

If Tsunade Senju and Kelly could trust him, there would be a lot less trouble.

Although Kelly took his scrap iron machine gun, she didn't take all the Bullets, only taking a little over a hundred before stopping. Tsunade Senju didn't take anything, it seemed she was planning to let Kelly protect her.

"Next is when I have to work hard."

Taking a deep breath, Li Ke walked into the female merchant's shop. It was still the same as before, with only the female merchant. The female merchant still had that smiling face, without any intention of moving.

Li Ke didn't speak. His body hadn't recovered to the point where he could do anything. He directly opened the female merchant's interface and clicked on the 'What kind of work do you have?' option.

And the next moment, the female merchant moved.

"Oh, you've come just in time. I have a lot of work that needs your help."

Standard English came from the other party's mouth, but Li Ke could understand the other party's voice. Although it wasn't as pleasant as Erina Nakiri's arrogant voice, it also revealed a gentle feeling.

Then, one quest after another appeared in front of Li Ke.

1. Clear all zombies at the Fire Station (214 meters).

2. Obtain Baihe contraband from the three-story building (200 meters).

3. Obtain food supplies from the wooden white cabin (160 meters).

4. Clear all zombies in the wooden bungalow (121 meters).

Li Ke looked at it and immediately chose the nearest fourth quest. He wanted to see what quests in this world were like.

And the most important thing was that he was sure the entire town had been burned down, and there shouldn't be any cabins for him to do quests in!

"Great, the people I hired before died there. I was worried about who could help me. It's great that you can help!"

After saying that, Li Ke saw a quest prompt appear on the right side of his field of vision. When he opened the map interface, he could also see a large exclamation mark appearing in the ashen town, marked with the words "Clear."

"It seems that the destruction of the cabin doesn't affect the quest mechanism. So, will zombies appear out of thin air, or will the quest be completed immediately after I activate it there?"

Li Ke licked his lips. He turned around and was about to leave, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

Could the female merchant in front of him be used to upgrade his transmigration Skill?

Looking at the still disheveled female merchant, Li Ke's heart was struggling.

To do it, or not to do it?

But Li Ke knew very well that the fact that he was hesitating meant that he already had some ideas. The reason he hadn't acted was simply because he didn't want to enough right now.

However...

"Not now."
