Infinite Days

Last, he gave those soft, watery, yet exceptionally firm breasts a final squeeze. Li Ke once again pressed the E key in his mind and opened the female merchant's shop.

The female merchant's disheveled hair, the fine sweat on her forehead, and the flush on her face all vanished instantly, and Li Ke began to select various items.

Then he discovered that the female merchant's goods had been refreshed!

This time, not only were there dozens more pieces of meat, but many useful items had also been refreshed. Li Ke slowly stretched as he looked at what new things had appeared.

The female merchant's shop had some seed options that had never appeared before, and even rotten meat for sale. Li Ke had never seen that item before.

However, these weren't necessities for the moment, so he went straight to the weapons section.

The 15-round magazine capacity of the pipe machine gun was still too low. Even with the fastest reload speed, there was still a window of vulnerability. But the weapons here at the female merchant were still very expensive, costing several thousand Duke Casino Tokens each. Although Li Ke had obtained over ten thousand Casino Tokens from quests and trades in the past few days, he couldn't spend them like that.

Moreover...

"She's selling a Furnace and Chemistry Station this time?"

Li Ke looked at the Chemistry Station in the female merchant's Inventory, gently kneading the female merchant's strawberry as he pondered.

He didn't lack Gunpowder at all right now. Even if manual synthesis was slow, he didn't have to worry about production because Tsunade's mining ability was there, so he didn't have to worry about running out of it.

Still, Li Ke bought it along with the Furnace to ensure that the three of them could travel light and attack quickly later.

So Li Ke just glanced at it and set it aside, continuing to browse the female merchant's stock.

In the end, however, Li Ke only bought some medicine and food, as well as the Furnace and Chemistry Station, along with 40 Incendiary Rounds and all the gasoline, leaving him with five thousand Duke Casino Tokens in his Inventory.

"These are for Kelly and Tsunade. See what they need."

Another half an hour passed before Li Ke walked out of the Merchant's hut. Feeling very hungry, he checked the Workbench for things he could make and immediately found something.

"Steel Frame..."

Li Ke thought for a moment and directly crafted 300 Steel Frames, because the description said that they had a full ten thousand health points.

And Steel Frames were definitely more defensive than wood, right?

It just took a very long time to make them, two and a half minutes to make one. It would be morning before this batch of Steel Frames was finished.

"I'll make a few to start, after all, Kelly said she can repair the cement mixer. If Reinforced Concrete is more defensive than Steel Frames, then I won't waste materials making these."

Li Ke thought for a moment, opened his Furnace, and immediately found that there were over ten thousand Steel Ingots inside, and the iron in the Furnace was still full, undergoing smelting.

"Tsunade's mining speed..."

Li Ke couldn't help but complain, because it was really too amazing. He even had to make dozens of boxes just to store the amount of ore Tsunade mined, and the Furnace's smelting speed couldn't compare to Tsunade's mining speed.

So he immediately took out some Steel Ingots, put them into the Workbench, and started making Steel Frames, putting all the Bullets into his Inventory.

"Should I have enough Bullets now?"

Looking at the more than ten thousand Bullets in his Inventory, Li Ke wasn't sure. He didn't know if it was enough, after all, there were so many zombies.

Li Ke still remembered that feeling of despair very clearly, those densely packed, seemingly endless zombies.

"Hope it's enough."

Taking a deep breath, Li Ke returned to his camp, exchanged some Inventory items with the two ladies, gave them some of the food and Bullets, and then went straight to take a shower.

There were no surprises during the meal. The area around the shop had been hollowed out, leaving only a short road for them to enter and exit, so there was no need to worry about zombies.

But...

Li Ke realized something when he went to sleep.

He forgot to build a new house and bed again.

Author's Note:

Author's words: I'll write this much first, I should be able to catch up today.

Chapter 28: Invincible Steel House

What made Li Ke even more frustrated was that these two women didn't really care about the bed and room either—one was heartbroken, and the other had just come down from the battlefield.

Expecting these two to care about things like beds was a luxury in itself, so Li Ke pitifully covered his ears with his tattered quilt, trying his best not to stay awake all night.

Then, he really couldn't sleep.

Streaks of moonlight poured in from the specially left window, allowing Li Ke to clearly see the snow-white skin of the female ninja named Tsunade. It was something whiter than moonlight, that beautiful curve and smooth skin that could make Li Ke wholeheartedly stare at it no matter what.

But...

"There's no Merchant here to relieve the pressure now."

Li Ke lay on his soft quilt, on the verge of tears. He was afraid that if he continued to look, he would become a pervert and suddenly attack Tsunade, then be punched to death by Tsunade.

So, naturally, he was sleepless again.

The reason for his insomnia wasn't hard to find, so when Kelly got up, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Ke's embarrassed face, causing Li Ke to flee to the female merchant's room in a rather disheveled state, going straight to the female merchant's shop to look at the Steel Frames without even eating breakfast.

However, the Steel Frames still gave him a pleasant surprise. If used directly through the System, they were indeed just System blocks with 10,000 health points, but once he chose to materialize them, they would be a cubic meter of steel.

Moreover, before Li Ke materialized it, he had selected the shape of the steel block in the System interface. After trying again, he found that there was a deformed pure Steel Casting in front of him!

This immediately made Li Ke think of countless ways to build.

"I should be able to use Steel Frames as the foundation, and then use these Steel Castings to form real steel walls on the outside."

Li Ke looked at the Tekkai that was constantly transforming into various shapes under his will, and couldn't help but reveal an excited expression. It was just a pity that there wasn't the kind of iron plate with screw holes in it, otherwise he would definitely fill two or three layers of Steel Block on top of the System Tekkai that only had the most basic framework.

After all, the durability of things in System mode isn't like reality. Although datafication brings convenience, it also means that the durability of this thing is destined to be not as high as things in non-System mode.

So, using System components as the skeleton internally, and non-System components externally, is the most reasonable thing to do.

"Let me see what shapes can be modified..."

Li Ke quickly searched through the transforming components for things that could be stuck in the Tekkai framework and become components of the System mode framework, and found many suitable things.

One of them, a component with a cylindrical lower half and a Steel Block upper half, attracted his attention. These components could be perfectly fitted into the blocks transformed from another kind of Steel Block, but unfortunately, there was no place to fix ropes or anything like that, so it couldn't be the final choice.

So, Li Ke had to look for more components and finally chose a mode.

He found some cylindrical transformations from the framework transformations, then placed them on the Invincible Wall, and then transformed the Tekkai framework into a Hollow Steel Pillar again, preparing to materialize it and put it on this cylinder.

If the plan goes smoothly, then when the zombies attack here, the thing that will bear the attack will be the Steel cylinder, not the Tekkai framework inside.

"It should be feasible..."

Li Ke licked his lips. He separated a Hollow Steel Pillar and materialized it into the world.

In an instant, a one-meter long, one-meter diameter Steel Pillar appeared in front of Li Ke. Although after being materialized, it looked like a cylinder composed of two thick Steel Blocks, even the Steel Blocks were a full ten centimeters thick!

The solid thickness brought an absolute sense of security. Li Ke patted the Steel Pillar in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually became twisted.

"I don't believe these zombies can dig through this thing with their hands..."

The memory of being dug through in the RV last time was still vivid in his mind. He really didn't want to experience that feeling again, but he discovered a very embarrassing thing, which was...

"This thing is so heavy..."

Li Ke used all his Power but couldn't lift this thing up.

Looking at the Steel cylinder at his feet, Li Ke was a little dumbfounded, and then he silently calculated the approximate weight of this thing.

Because the circumference and height were both one meter, and the thickness was ten centimeters, Li Ke estimated it relatively quickly, and so, he quickly came up with the weight of this thing.

"Damn it, two and a half tons. If I remember correctly, the strongest human can only lift two hundred, less than three hundred kilograms, right..."

Looking at the wall in front of him, Li Ke felt a little dumbfounded.

This was a very embarrassing thing. He found something that could protect him, and even found a perfect method, but because of this, the plan couldn't be completed.

While he was worrying, Tsunade and Kelly, carrying hoes, walked over. Tsunade looked at Li Ke's helpless expression and walked over curiously.

"What's wrong?"

She looked curiously at the Steel Pillar that Li Ke had built on the wall. After all, what he said before wasn't this kind of thing, but those small Tekkai boxes.

"Um, Tsunade, you came at the right time. I need your help with something. We have to find a way to put this thing on top of this, and then test whether my idea works..."

Li Ke was still talking when Tsunade rolled her eyes, directly grabbed the Steel Pillar that Li Ke could only lift a part of, easily lifted it up, and put it on the System cylinder.

The whole process was smooth, as if what she was lifting wasn't a Steel Pillar, but a piece of plastic skin.

But looking at her effortless appearance, Li Ke couldn't help but swallow, involuntarily looking at Tsunade's white palms and seemingly not much muscle, appearing very tender arms.

"..."

Luckily I'm rational enough!

Li Ke was very grateful for this, and also very grateful that he had the female merchant to help him release his overly vigorous energy, otherwise, once he tried to use Hemophobia to control Tsunade because of his vigorous energy, she wouldn't need to be too serious, as long as she gave herself a punch, his body would probably be penetrated immediately.

"Is this okay? But will the System component inside lose HP by doing this?"

Tsunade knocked on the Steel Pillar she put on, understanding Li Ke's idea.

"Yes, so we need to test it with an attack."

Li Ke nodded. If, after putting on a shell, the System component would still lose durability because of being attacked, then the problem would still exist.

"Then let me do it."

Just as Li Ke was thinking, Tsunade raised her hand again and punched the Steel.

In an instant, a burst of air and a harsh sound erupted from the place where her fist came into contact. The Hollow Steel Pillar that was originally just placed on the cylinder also directly changed its position.

And when Tsunade retracted her arm, Li Ke could clearly see that on the Steel Pillar, which theoretically couldn't be destroyed by flesh and blood, there was already a deep fist mark.

"I didn't use much Power, but it should already be stronger than the zombies' Power. If it can withstand this, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Tsunade said, while taking the Hollow Steel Pillar off the System cylinder.

The full durability made Tsunade raise her eyebrows.

"It seems that the setting of this world is quite interesting."

Li Ke also breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, then there was no problem. As long as two layers of such defensive walls were built, then there should be nothing wrong.

Thinking this way, Li Ke planned to hand over all the Steel Block to Tsunade and let her make this Tekkai house, but the next moment, he saw Tsunade put the Hollow Steel Pillar back in again, and then raised her fist again.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then quickly covered his ears with Kelly and avoided the direction that might be attacked. The next moment, Tsunade punched again, but this time the fist was obviously much more serious.

It was still a harsh sound, but the next moment, Li Ke could see clearly that the Steel Pillar he had placed his hopes on not only flew out directly, but also fell into the big pit, and he couldn't see its original shape anymore. He could only see that the part that was hit by Tsunade was penetrated.

Li Ke's neck twisted stiffly, looking at Tsunade who was moving her arm.

Your old lady's punch has a durability of ten thousand??

"Well, I used a little bit of force this time. I could only solve it after punching through it. It should be able to defend against the zombie horde you mentioned."

Tsunade moved her arms, causing her adorable large breasts to bounce, and spoke with a calm expression.

Although it was just an ordinary action, in the current situation, she seemed incomparably domineering.

"My God... are you really human? Have you really not undergone any modifications...?"

Kelly also stared at Tsunade in astonishment. The strongest person she had ever seen was only capable of lifting concrete pipes to hit people. If they were any stronger, they would have to undergo body modifications or wear exoskeletons or something.

Moreover, even with mechanical exoskeletons, she had never heard of a model that could directly punch through steel—of course, it couldn't be ruled out that she hadn't seen much of the world.

After all, she was just a wandering gunner from the lawless zone.

"This is the Power of Chakra, but there aren't many ninjas who can do what I can."

Tsunade shrugged and prepared to continue mining, but Li Ke once again stood firmly in front of Tsunade, sincerely took out all the steel frames on his body, and held out his hand to Tsunade.

"Please also work as a construction worker!"

Without a doubt, the most suitable person to be a construction worker was Tsunade!

"Hey, hey... don't always give me strange jobs... Oh well, I guess only I can do it anyway, and my only use is that I'm strong."

Tsunade's eyes twitched as she took the bag Li Ke handed over, taking all the steel frames from Li Ke's body, but as a precaution, she said in advance.

"I'll just do it as I see fit, don't expect me to make it too pretty."

"Of course!"

Li Ke naturally had no objections.

"Then leave it to me. Kelly, you come and help too. Oh, right, since you've asked me, get me some wine, playing cards, mahjong, and dice. It's a bit boring just doing this every day."

Tsunade took the opportunity to make some small requests, and Li Ke had no intention of objecting to these small requests and agreed directly.

"Of course!"
