"This is simply…"

Li Ke didn't know how to evaluate it. He took out a bottle of water, wanting to rinse away the traces on the female merchant, but he couldn't do it because he couldn't change her posture. And the idea of just stuffing the bottle directly inside was too grotesque, so he couldn't help but pat the female merchant's buttocks.

"This is really…"

With a helpless sigh, Li Ke could only hastily tidy up and put the female merchant's clothes back on. But as he was leaving, Li Ke felt a little guilty, so he opened the female merchant's shop and casually bought a bottle of Honey.

"Oh, thank you for your patronage."

The female merchant spoke again according to the rules of this world, but Li Ke was stunned because the water stains were gone.

That's right, the water stains on the female merchant's legs, and the water stains where she was standing, had all disappeared!

"..."

Li Ke was silent for a moment, then stepped over the counter again, undid the female merchant's shorts, and reached into the place he had just entered.

Clean.

Everything he had left behind, and everything the female merchant had left behind, had disappeared. Only a soft, moist, and constantly squeezing sensation remained.

It was as if he had never been there.

It could be said that, apart from the slightly disheveled clothes, even the position of her pubic hair hadn't been changed!

"What kind of useful… uh, never mind."

Li Ke didn't know how to comment, but the fact was that it was indeed very convenient for him, at least he didn't have to worry about cleaning up.

But he still carefully pressed her lower abdomen to make sure there was nothing inside before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as she doesn't get pregnant, but that shouldn't happen."

Honestly, Li Ke felt that his moral bottom line seemed to have been lowered by his actions, but he really couldn't say anything. After putting the female merchant's clothes back on, he quickly headed towards the quest location.

After all, he had already wasted almost an hour, he couldn't waste any more time!

Li Ke, having retrieved his clothes, ran quickly, and put all the remaining scrap iron on his body into the Furnace here to melt, preparing to make Iron Ingots later.

This stuff can be said to be the cornerstone of everything, so it must be done.

He quickly ran to the quest location, where the usual yellow exclamation mark appeared. After Li Ke confirmed it, a huge residence appeared in front of him again. Li Ke didn't hesitate to break in through the window, quickly killed the four or five zombies in the house, and then, according to the quest instructions, found the leather bag.

After putting the leather bag into his Inventory, Li Ke took out his wrench and started to dismantle the appliances inside.

Door handles, televisions, electric fans, and other things. Li Ke could obtain mechanical parts and electrical parts from them, and even some scrap plastic.

And when facing the bed, in addition to the wooden plank bed, Li Ke could also obtain short iron pipes, which made him curse the difficulty of this game world again. After quickly dismantling all the valuable things in this room, Li Ke returned to the shop and continued to throw scrap iron, scrap lead, brass, and other things into the Furnace to burn. Li Ke quickly completed the quest.

This quest was still a skill point, but the item rewards weren't very good, just a helmet light module and a Pickaxe.

Choosing the Pickaxe, something Li Ke could already make himself, Li Ke didn't stop or dare to add points again, and rushed out after taking another quest.

The process of the third quest was basically no different from the previous two, and there were no dangers. Except for the last quest to obtain food, which involved digging pits in the wild to find storage boxes, and some zombies would refresh after opening the storage boxes, basically the quests were no different, just very simple quests.

Of course, the rewards were also generous, because Li Ke discovered that, unlike other quests, this quest to obtain food didn't require you to hand in the food you obtained to complete it.

Li Ke only spent an hour to complete the remaining two quests, and the female merchant here had no other quests.

Looking at his two quest rewards: an iron axe and 20 Molotov Cocktails, Li Ke nodded in satisfaction.

What appeared with the iron axe was a heat-resistant net module. Li Ke didn't hesitate at all, but when it came to the Molotov Cocktails, what appeared with it was 100 Bullets. Li Ke hesitated for a moment, but still chose the Molotov Cocktails.

After all, although he still lacked Bullets, he lacked the means to fight large-scale zombies even more.

Looking at the three skill points he already had, Li Ke clenched his fists. He had already felt the benefits of increased Stamina. If he had done these things before, it would have taken at least two to three hours, let alone one. But now he was still full of energy, and didn't look like he had been active at all.

If the female merchant here had more Skills, he could even do another round.

"So, should I increase Power, or continue to add Stamina?"

Li Ke thought for a moment, and finally decided to add one point to Power to try it out.

Putting the skill point into Power, Li Ke once again felt that comfortable feeling. His whole body was constantly experiencing a feeling of being nourished and infused—or rather, it wasn't an illusion.

But when it ended, Li Ke didn't feel the same refreshing feeling all over his body as when he added points to Stamina before. He just felt that the bag he was carrying had become lighter.

"It shouldn't be like this."

Li Ke took out his previous iron axe with some suspicion, weighed it, and felt that it was more than half lighter. He swung it slightly and found that he only needed to use half the Power he used before to swing the axe.

In other words, the rate at which his physical strength decreased had also decreased.

"It's indeed not simple…"

Li Ke smiled and put the axe back in his backpack. This was enough, but no matter how strong he was now, he couldn't compare to the zombies. The most important thing now was to build fortifications. With System tools, he didn't need much Power, but durability was the most needed!

Li Ke was about to add points when he remembered his previous embarrassment, so he smiled awkwardly at the female merchant over there, locked the door again, and blocked the window.

Then, he took off the female merchant's shorts, but this time, he didn't stand behind the female merchant, but stood in front of the female merchant with difficulty, half-bent over.

He had wanted to try this for a long time, but Erina had God's Tongue, so if he really did this, she would probably throw up, literally throw up.

So, Li Ke wanted to try it with this female merchant who had no self-awareness.

"I feel like my integrity is getting lower and lower…"

While saying these words, Li Ke unhesitatingly put the remaining two attribute points into Endurance. Then, in the next moment, he immediately felt a more intense sense of comfort than before! The intense comfort and time, almost eight times stronger, made him couldn't help but grab the female merchant's head, and then entered it.

Warm, moist, and with a strange sensation, but because the female merchant wasn't actively cooperating, Li Ke didn't feel anything particularly special, and even felt a bit odd.

However, the intense feeling of release still allowed him to quickly give the female merchant something in this situation, and caused some of it to come out of the female merchant's nostrils.

"I forgot her tongue can't move, it was just okay."

After making this assessment, he jumped down with the fire in his heart still burning. He went directly behind the female merchant, and when he held the huge steering wheel with both hands, he said with gratitude and apology.

"Sorry, I need to borrow this again."

After solving his physical needs, Li Ke started mining again. This time, however, his preparations were quite thorough. The Pickaxe and Iron Shovel were much better than the stone axe, and Li Ke discovered that as his Power increased, the damage from mining also increased.

The zombies corpses in the previous mine had disappeared. Li Ke didn't know if this was a setting or something, but it was so unscientific. So he directly started digging downwards, preparing to make two preparations.

He didn't plan to dig directly into the ground. He wanted to build a fortress, and then dig down continuously beneath this fortress, building a shelter in the underground passage below.

Although there were some risks, and the construction period was very tight, he had to do this, because only by doing this could he know what the horde was all about, and how he had survived that day.

And he needed to earn enough EXP to completely master this world. A platform to fight was essential.

Otherwise, even if there was a female merchant who could let him constantly vent his desires, he felt that his spirit would slowly collapse if he continued to live like this in this world.

After all, he couldn't completely trust the people who were sent to this world like him. Tsunade and Kelly were characters he knew, but even though he treated them with such sincerity, they were still wary of him.

So Li Ke felt that he could only trust himself.

Quickly mining various resources, Li Ke was thinking about things when he swung his Pickaxe and directly made a crisp 'ding' sound.

This stunned him for a moment, and then he immediately realized that he had dug into the location of the Merchant's shop.

"Is it invincible here too?"

Li Ke was a little dazed, because this place was already quite deep, almost ten meters from the ground, but it was still impossible to damage it.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cause any damage to it.

Li Ke frowned, without any hesitation, he started digging directly below this place. After a while, he dug out another five-meter-deep pit, and then knocked on the wall of the shop again.

But the crisp 'ding' sound still made Li Ke click his tongue.

He didn't think too much at first, just continued his mining work, but at this moment, he inexplicably took out a wooden frame and tried to place it on this invincible block.

However, he didn't have much hope, because it was impossible to place things within a certain range of where the Merchant was. He and Erina had both tried it.

But this time was different. The wooden frame was placed on it, and it was as stable as Li Ke had placed it in other places, and...

It had the characteristics of a System item.

Chapter 21: Preliminary Cooperation

"If I can dig open the walls on all four sides of the Merchant, dig a huge hole around it, and turn the Merchant's house into an island, then can I turn this place into an absolute safe house?"

Li Ke looked at the stone block that appeared out of nowhere on this invincible wall, and couldn't help thinking like this, because if it was an invincible wall, then there was no need to consider the defensive performance of this invincible wall at all, just keep piling up defenses in other places.

But the problem was that this was a super big project, and he couldn't complete it alone before the next blood moon. Forcibly doing so would undoubtedly be directly submerged by the endless sea of zombies.

If there were three people, it might be possible, but the cost would be that they couldn't do anything during that time, and this would become the only way out. Once they miscalculated the number of zombies, there would be no way to escape.

Before there were items that could fly, or before more people came, this was undoubtedly impossible for him.

"Really... But the problem is, after more people come, why wouldn't I build a stronger bunker..."

Li Ke was a little speechless, looking at this invincible wall with some helplessness.

If he had dozens of people, then let alone a defensive wall, if the number of machine guns and ammunition was enough, it wouldn't even be impossible to directly kill through these zombies.

You must know that these zombies will die if they are shot in the head, and they will lose their combat power if their bodies are torn apart, instead of being fantasy-type zombies.

As long as you set up a dozen machine guns, and build a solid fortress, plus various Molotov Cocktails and other things, and have other people fill in the gaps and deal with special zombies, it really wouldn't be difficult to defend...

But the problem is here, he doesn't have that many people.

If he had that many people, he wouldn't need an invincible wall.

"It's a pity, let's see if I can dig a big hole when I mine."

Li Ke sighed helplessly, shuddered when he thought of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood he had experienced before, and then continued to mine.

Time passed quickly, and just as Li Ke felt hungry, the sky had already darkened. Li Ke glanced at the RV that had turned into scrap iron, sighed helplessly, and then began to build his house.

A two-story wooden frame, leaving an opening as a window, and then upgrading them one by one with the stone axe. Before long, a standard wood box appeared in front of Li Ke.

Then, Li Ke also made some wooden frames as fences to prevent zombies from directly attacking the house, and to facilitate his own combat, but it looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

But fortunately, he remembered to assemble some wooden blocks under his small wood box to make a wooden floor for himself, so that he didn't have to sleep on the asphalt road.

However, there was no bed.

He flipped through his construction list, and there was no bed or sleeping bag or anything like that. Li Ke could only helplessly return to the few houses that had been refreshed due to the quest, and then rummage through them for various bedding, preparing to make do for one night, and then see if there was a bed in the quest house tomorrow, or if he could assemble one himself.

Afterwards, Li Ke went to the shop again, without doing anything strange to the female merchant, just simply bought some meat, and then added some fuel and raw materials to the Furnace, and continued to smelt Iron Ingots, preparing to make something else, when he was teleported out in a daze.

"As expected, the last time I was suddenly teleported away was because I couldn't stay in the shop at night..."

Looking at the suddenly closed door of the shop, Li Ke sighed, and then returned to his house, took out some branches, sharpened them, and started grilling outside his house.

The aroma of grilled meat gradually spread out, but Li Ke felt a little lonely at this time.

Before, Erina would be by his side. Although the little girl didn't dare to speak loudly at night, lest she attract those Bolt-like zombies, Li Ke was no longer afraid of these at this time. To be precise, he now couldn't wait for the zombies to come and give him EXP.

Looking at the EXP bar that was just a little bit away from leveling up again, Li Ke grilled meat while thinking about what to do next.

He didn't understand anything about construction, so there was no way for him to build a defensive base with reinforced concrete from the real world. He could only use the defensive facilities of this world.

So, basically, stacking armor.

"I have to find a cement mixer as soon as possible."

Li Ke thought. Although the female merchant also had a cement mixer at her place, both it and something called a chemistry station were broken. There was no way to use them at all.

However, Li Ke took a look at the chemistry station, and it didn't require many materials. He should be able to collect enough parts to make it tomorrow, so he wouldn't have to make Gunpowder by hand, and the production would also increase.

"Lonely."

He glanced at where the female merchant was. He had actually leveled up from mining, but he didn't dare to allocate the points for the sake of serious matters. By the time he was almost done, the female merchant had already closed her shop.

So, he was currently in a state where he didn't dare to allocate points. But even if he didn't do anything, if someone could be by his side, he would feel a lot better right now.

A sense of loneliness attacked Li Ke's heart. He looked at the campfire, and then at the silent surroundings with only the sound of the wind. A sense of loneliness and desolation enveloped his heart.

Before, he and Erina supported each other, so this feeling wasn't very strong, but now, Li Ke truly felt the loneliness.

Especially in this dangerous world.

After hurriedly eating the grilled meat, Li Ke returned to his house, curled up in the not-so-warm, even smelly, quilt, and quietly fell asleep, sinking into a dream.

But at this moment, the situation of the other two outsiders was not very good.

"There are so many of these guys."

Kelly rapidly pulled the trigger. The scrap machine gun that Li Ke had made seemed to have been given new life in her hands. Every time it sprayed Bullets, it could easily drill into a zombies's eye socket, and then directly rush into the zombies's skull, crushing them.

And the trembling Tsunade was standing beside her, trembling, with her eyes closed, holding a small tree. When Kelly shouted out because other zombies were approaching, she would directly swing the small tree in her hand, sending all the zombies flying.

"Really... this world is too strange!"
