Infinite Days

Kelly was very helpless. Since coming to this world, she couldn't use many of her practical martial arts and gun skills, and her physical strength had even been reduced to the level of an ordinary person in the Celestial World.

And the Bullets model Li Ke provided didn't match her revolver, which actually greatly reduced her strength.

Tsunade on the side was even more so. Hemophobia had already brought her strength to rock bottom in this world, and the food here was hard for her to feel full. What's more, there was something missing in the air here, and her physical strength and power had been weakened dozens of times. Otherwise, even if she had used extremely Chakra-consuming healing methods on Li Ke's level of injuries, it wouldn't have made her feel uncomfortable.

"Damn it..."

Kelly cursed, then quickly threw the homemade grenades she had made during this time, and pulled the blindfolded Tsunade towards a bridge they had come from to retreat.

After they said goodbye to Li Ke before, they looked for another small town, but when they entered this town, when Kelly fired the first shot, things changed.

It wasn't difficult for them to scavenge for food and kill ordinary zombies here, but they directly misjudged the strength of the nighttime zombies Li Ke mentioned because of the appearance of the zombies during the day.

So when Kelly saw a zombie approaching their camp, she pulled the trigger without thinking.

Then, the zombies of the entire town rushed towards them.

"Looks like what that guy said was true!"

Running quickly onto the bridge, Kelly gasped for breath as she spoke to Tsunade, who was also starting to pant slightly.

"Damn it, I really became a Player!"

Looking at the "Press E to pick up" option on the gun in her hand, Kelly couldn't help but curse, and her trust in Li Ke skyrocketed.

"Yeah, it seems like he didn't lie to us about most things... But why say those things, and also, these are Explosive Talismans, throw them quickly!"

Tsunade felt a little better because she was away from the bloody smell. She suppressed the fear in her heart, took out two strange pieces of paper, stuck them on a stone, and then had Kelly throw them out.

Kelly threw them out without any hesitation, and a large number of zombies chasing them were blown away. But the problem was that more zombie sounds came from the distant jungle.

"This is endless!"

Kelly was helpless, and quickly fired her gun. Just as she was about to find a high point, Tsunade suddenly grabbed her waist and carried her up.

"What are you doing!"

Kelly exclaimed, and the next moment, she saw strange patterns all over Tsunade's body. The next moment, Tsunade rushed out like an off-road vehicle.

And Tsunade's panting stopped, and she explained the current situation in a calm tone.

"This is one of my Secret Techniques, which can temporarily increase my strength and speed... The attack range of these monsters is limited, so we just need to run out of their detection range!"

"Oh, oh, oh!! I see."

Kelly cheered in the first half of her sentence, and then immediately closed her mouth, and the gun in her hand also stopped.

Tsunade tried her best not to make too much noise with her footsteps, and rushed out two hundred meters at an extremely high speed before stopping, and then knelt directly on the ground, constantly trembling.

When Kelly landed lightly on the ground, she could see that Tsunade's snow-white skin was now covered in fine beads of sweat. Although there were still those strange patterns, it was obvious that Tsunade was still unable to move due to psychological pressure.

She looked at the zombies like Bolt. The zombies stopped at the place where they had been before, and wandered around blankly, as if looking for something.

"A detection range of about 100 meters? It's ten times that of the daytime... It's a big trouble in this situation."

Feeling the few Bullets she had left, Kelly, who was scared, gently carried the trembling Tsunade on her back. Kelly didn't think much and returned in the direction of Li Ke.

Now that it has been proven that part of Li Ke's words are credible, then they can cooperate.

Just...

"That method of returning is still not to be believed, right?"

Kelly couldn't help but complain.

The way back was much smoother, because during the day, they had already cleared the zombies on this road. However, when Kelly and Tsunade cautiously returned to the town, it was almost two or three in the morning. Fortunately, Tsunade had recovered from her Hemophobia, so Kelly didn't have to carry her all the way.

But looking at the charred buildings nearby, and then looking at the few houses that existed abruptly, the two subconsciously thought they had gone the wrong way. But when they looked at the gas station that was about to collapse, and the intact store, they still recognized what this place was.

"Did these houses appear because of that person? Could it also be related to these options in my eyes? This is just like the electronic games that the big shots of the Royal Capital Army can play!"

Kelly pointed to the houses and couldn't help but twitch her lips. She remembered very clearly that this place was definitely a ruin before!

"It should be, there are too many strange things in this world."

Tsunade wasn't surprised. Her grandfather also knew the technology of building houses in an instant, so she wasn't surprised. And most importantly, Kelly also gained similar abilities, being able to put the gun in her hand directly into a strange space, and then make some strange things.

Just like what that man named Li Ke said, which is one of the important reasons why they came back.

As for whether Kelly was Li Ke's shill...

Tsunade glanced at Kelly, who was smiling like a boy, and didn't think about it anymore.

Her weakness had been completely exposed to Kelly. If Kelly was really Li Ke's shill, then she should have done it by now.

But it's actually the same whether she is or not, because she with Hemophobia cannot survive alone in this world.

The two hadn't walked a few steps when they saw the wood box that Li Ke had built next to the Merchant's hut. This building, which was completely different in style from the other buildings, plus the lingering smell of food, proved that Li Ke was here.

So the two looked at each other and didn't immediately disturb Li Ke, but set up a tent at random, and waited for dawn while grilling meat.

The night passed quickly. When Li Ke woke up, he immediately smelled the aroma of meat from the window he had specially left. He stood up and opened the door, and saw the two people sitting around the campfire, and they had lit the campfire again.

"Good morning, little brother! Come and eat!"

Kelly greeted Li Ke and called Li Ke to eat. Li Ke looked at their slightly embarrassed appearance and tacitly didn't ask about their experiences. He just silently walked over and took out two bottles of Honey from his Inventory.

"It's best to drink something sweet early in the morning."

Li Ke had told them about the uses of Honey, and Kelly and Tsunade had both tacitly accepted it, but neither of them showed any intention of drinking it, which let him know that they weren't injured.

The meat Kelly grilled still didn't taste very good, and it was a bit greasy for breakfast, so Li Ke took out some canned Peas, and the three of them tacitly divided up most of it.

After eating, Tsunade brought up the most important thing.

"Let me become a Player. My Hemophobia prevents me from fighting, so I can only rely on you."

As she finished speaking, Kelly received a team invitation and friend request.

Li Ke didn't hesitate, nor did he ask Tsunade why she didn't have Kelly turn her into a Player. He simply reached out and placed his hand on Tsunade's shoulder, the option appearing in his eyes.

With a feeling of being emptied, Li Ke saw his EXP drop sharply, and at the same time, Tsunade felt something that had been suppressing her disappear a little.

"A very interesting feeling. I feel like my strength has recovered a bit."

Kelly was also stunned for a moment, then hesitantly clenched her fist and swung it a couple of times.

"So it wasn't just my imagination?"

She had thought it was just her imagination before.

"Yeah, it's not. I feel that my Chakra recovery speed has increased a bit, but not by much. It seems that to restore all of our strength, we really need to keep leveling up."

Tsunade made a summary, and Li Ke didn't interrupt, because it had nothing to do with him.

He was just an ordinary person, but it was still necessary to assess his companions' strength.

"So strong people get suppressed when they come in? Then Miss Tsunade, to what extent can you do now?"

Li Ke asked cautiously. Tsunade tilted her head, then stood up, walked to a surviving concrete telephone pole, and punched it directly.

Immediately, the telephone pole snapped right where Tsunade attacked, crashing onto a pile of rubble.

"About this much, I guess."

Tsunade was a little annoyed, because the suppression was too severe. With the same amount of force, she used to be able to overturn nearly fifty meters of ground, but now she could only break a telephone pole.

A one-punch telephone pole?

Li Ke nodded.

"How many of these attacks can you do now?"

"Three punches, I guess, since Chakra recovers very slowly now. But if it's just swinging my fists, I can do it all day."

So he thought for a moment, stood up, and took out the Pickaxe and iron axe in his hand.

"Then, Miss Tsunade."

Li Ke looked down at Tsunade, who was only 1.6 meters tall but had an incredibly large chest, and bowed his head seriously.

"Hmm?"

"From now on, I'm counting on you for mining and digging holes!"

This was a top-notch coolie--miner!

Chapter 22: The Thoughts of Two People

"Miner..."

The corner of Tsunade's eye twitched violently. Although she had decided to quit being a ninja, to graduate from the profession of ninja.

But no matter what, she never thought that she would become a miner, or rather, a construction worker.

At the very least, it would be a profession like a doctor, but now Li Ke entrusted her with the important task of becoming a miner, which really left her speechless.

"After all, a large number of zombies will appear in a few days, so we can only rely on your strength to mine enough materials to build and defend... Of course, I will help too."

A smile quickly appeared on Li Ke's face, and he explained to her.

"Okay, since I can't help you fight in my current state."

Sighing, Tsunade shouldered the shovel that Li Ke gave her, nodded helplessly, and accepted this fact.

"What about me? Little Brother Li Ke?"

Kelly jumped out suddenly, patted Li Ke's shoulder, and asked, her face full of anticipation.

"Well, it's actually the same, because you can't receive quests now, so you can only mine together. Please rest assured that when I complete the quest, I will come down and mine with you, and most importantly, you are also responsible for protecting Miss Tsunade."

Li Ke once again took out an Iron Shovel and a Pickaxe from his Inventory, and placed them in Kelly's hands, who was looking forward to fighting.

Kelly: "..."

Kelly looked at the Pickaxe and shovel in her hands, exchanged a helpless look with Tsunade, and then both sighed.

"Okay, who told this world to be so strange? But you said you wanted to build a fortress, shouldn't we start now?"

Shouldering the Pickaxe, Kelly asked curiously.

"Well, that's also necessary, but now we have to mine enough things first, and then we can make reinforced concrete. In short, mining is the right thing to do. This is your supply, eat it when you're hungry."

Li Ke smiled and handed a large pile of food and water, as well as two short iron pipes and more than a hundred Bullets to Kelly.

Then he ate the last piece of grilled meat in his bowl and pointed to the store not far away.

"I'm going to do a quest first. After you mine enough iron ore, you can make some Robot Turret Ammo first. These can let you save some money, and you can buy some things you want to buy."

"Alright, alright..."

Kelly rolled her eyes and finished the last of the meat soup in her hand, then threw the jar onto the side of the camp.

"In short, everything is focused on development first, right?"

"Yes."

"No problem."

Kelly and Tsunade headed towards the mine that Li Ke had dug out earlier, and after Li Ke watched them start mining, he headed towards the Merchant.

As usual, he blocked the door, greeted the female merchant, then skillfully flipped over the table, opened the Skill panel, added points, and then...

"What's that guy doing at the Merchant's place? He hasn't come out for so long."

Kelly looked curiously at the closed door of the Merchant's room and asked with some doubt.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be anything good."

Tsunade paused for a moment and didn't say anything. In her opinion, Li Ke wasn't a proper warrior. What else could he do living in this world?

"Oh, I think I know."

Kelly's face showed a disgusted expression. Although she considered herself very restrained, she had been in wars, so she naturally knew what those male warriors who had accumulated pressure would do.

But in Empyrean, at least there was music, simple video games, plus comics and novels, and the existence of comrades.

But this man...

"But it's not incomprehensible, but... um, does that female merchant he mentioned actually have such business?"

Kelly touched her pocket, didn't find a cigarette, and sighed helplessly.

She had wanted to get some tobacco before, but unfortunately, she couldn't find it at all. This world was very strange. It clearly looked like a world full of life, but for some reason, many things couldn't be found.

Like she wanted to find a lathe or pliers, but she just couldn't find them. She could only move forward with the machine gun Li Ke gave her, unable to modify it herself, or make two revolvers.
