But it was still useless. Li Ke's throws didn't change anything. Although he killed more zombies, their corpses became stepping stones and umbrellas for the others. Another half hour passed. Li Ke, who was constantly shooting, clearly saw another steel plate being lifted, and then...

Then came the third, and the fourth. Each steel plate was lifted faster than the last.

Not only that, but the moment the sixth steel plate was lifted, zombies had already burrowed into the earthen wall, beginning to destroy the fortress from the inside.

Li Ke kept throwing the jars, but it felt more like a final, desperate act. After he threw all the makeshift explosive jars they had made, the shelter passage beneath their feet still collapsed.

The steel plates and earth crashed down, instantly dropping the zombies, who were already close to their steel house, by three or four meters. Li Ke and Kelly's hearts sank completely.

Looking at the dense slope of zombies heading towards their house, Li Ke glanced at the time, not even ten o'clock yet, and couldn't help but take out all the remaining Molotov Cocktails.

Kelly, looking at the still-dense mass of monsters in the distance, took a deep breath and picked up a Molotov Cocktail as well.

They clearly couldn't stop the zombies from advancing. Fortunately, when Tsunade built the house, she didn't leave any System blocks exposed on the outside, as Li Ke had requested, so even at this point, they could hold out for a while longer.

Molotov Cocktails were thrown continuously onto the zombie slope. The two of them didn't hold back their firepower. Li Ke even threw out a bag of Gunpowder.

Kelly couldn't help but twitch at the sight of the bag of black Gunpowder scattering in the air. Only she could still laugh at a time like this.

"This is truly an amazing world..."

Saying these words, Kelly directly pulled the trigger of her revolver. In an instant, a Bullet pierced through the continuously spraying Gunpowder bag, causing it to explode into a large cloud of black Gunpowder, which was then ignited in the air by the already lit Gunpowder, forming a dense rain of fire.

This rain of fire ignited the Molotov Cocktails they had thrown, causing them to explode directly, creating an eerie color in the black night, making everything here look more like a crimson hell.

This time, the flames were extremely strong, almost illuminating the entire canyon. Seeing this, Li Ke continued to throw out Gunpowder, and even, in a moment of desperation, threw out most of his wooden plank.

Wooden plank and Gunpowder scattered continuously in the canyon, but even this crimson hell couldn't stop the zombies' interest in them. They still charged tirelessly, still advancing towards them, constantly trampling on the flames, and they wouldn't stop even if their bodies were constantly burning with fire.

Finally, the first zombie touched their steel house. Its arm made a loud sound when it hit the thick steel plate, and the arm broke directly, but it didn't give up at all, and instead slammed its other arm against it.

Another arm hung down weakly, but immediately, it slammed its head against it.

Until this moment, the two of them hadn't stopped shooting, still continuously shooting at the attacking zombies, not letting them reach into their shooting windows.

But in less than ten minutes, the two had to give up shooting, because it was meaningless.

The dead zombies blocked the shooting windows, forcing the two of them to block the shooting windows, and then helplessly listen to the zombies constantly pounding on their steel house, making thudding sounds.

Unable to observe the outside world, they could only listen to the sound constantly spreading, constantly rising, and finally--

Even on the ceiling, there was the sound of zombies pounding.

"This is really, despairing."

Kelly couldn't help but speak, while Li Ke silently put down his gun, and just silently handed a grenade to Kelly. If the house was destroyed, then this would be much more useful than a gun.

"Use it later."

"Thanks."

Kelly smiled and took the grenade, giving Li Ke a playful expression, but unfortunately no one could see it here.

Then, the air fell into silence.

But at this moment, Li Ke heard sobbing and almost irrational groaning in the dark space.

He looked towards Kelly in confusion, but suddenly realized that the sound wasn't coming from Kelly at all.

It was Tsunade.

A few words on the shelves

Well, first of all, thank you for your support. Since I came here, I have never been off the list. This is the result of everyone's support, there is no doubt about it.

Thank you all for your love.

To be honest, I am a little flattered, after all, there are many people with better writing skills than me on this site...

But...

How should I put it, although it's not the first time it's been put on the shelves, I'm always nervous every time it's put on the shelves, after all, subscriptions explain everything.

If there is no subscription, it basically proves that no one is watching.

Although this book was written for driving...

As for me, unless it is harmonized, or no one is really watching, I will finish writing it.

As for the fast lane or something.

I can only say that I have recovered almost.

So please give me the first order! Ball ball!

Five updates tomorrow!

Thank you again for your support!

You can post any girls you like in the comment area!

As long as it's not too outrageous, I'll find a way!

For example, let me let the protagonist accept Chiyo and Ishimu, plus the request of Granny Toshi, I will never accept this.

Infinite Start

Chapter 1: Waiting in the Dark

Li Ke took out his lighter and flicked it gently. The small flame instantly ignited the dark space, illuminating Li Ke and the others nearby.

At night, they usually just rested. In urgent situations, they could use a fire for lighting. Besides, there weren't any entertainment activities at night, so Li Ke hadn't prepared any modern lighting tools.

After all, compared to other things, the minor inconvenience of not being able to move around easily at night wasn't that important.

In the dim firelight, he could see clearly that Tsunade, the one among them who should have been the least afraid of zombies, was huddled in a corner with her head in her hands, trembling constantly. Her hair hung down, obscuring her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Moreover, with the continuous roars and pounding of the zombies, they couldn't clearly hear Tsunade's crying, but there was no doubt that Tsunade was crying in this situation, crying out of extreme fear.

Li Ke didn't know what was going on, but just as he closed his lighter, Kelly spoke up from the side.

"It should be claustrophobia. Some people with Hemophobia have this problem. Many people in our area also have this problem. After seeing the bodies of their friends and relatives in bunkers and trenches, they directly developed similar illnesses. Although Miss Tsunade doesn't know what she's been through, it should be the same problem."

Li Ke didn't say anything, just nodded silently, and then closed his lighter.

But Kelly, who had spoken, didn't want the air to fall silent like this. She looked at Li Ke and asked her question.

"By the way, what kind of person were you before?"

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and looked at Kelly in the darkness. Kelly then pressed her lighter, letting a little orange light illuminate her face.

"I mean, we don't know what we'll encounter in a while. If we happen to die together, shouldn't we get to know each other? That way, at least we'll know who we're dying with? And what they've been through? Besides, it's really boring just waiting like this."

The smile was gone from Kelly's face, replaced by a kind of awkward twitch. No one trapped in a small space with dense man-eating monsters outside would have happy feelings.

"Me... there's nothing to say. Just an ordinary person, living in a peaceful country, not even married in my twenties, and then suddenly came here, met a girl named Erina Nakiri, and then sent her back in the last horde... nothing to say."

Li Ke fiddled with his lighter, while Kelly released hers because it was too hot, letting the darkness reappear in the small house.

"I see... so everything you said is true?"

"True, but I think this kind of thing is just too ridiculous."

Li Ke leaned his head against the constantly rattling steel wall. Because Tsunade was very reliable, although the zombies outside were constantly pounding on it, the tightly packed steel cylinders didn't show any signs of loosening. Instead, they became even tighter in the process of these zombies constantly pounding.

"Why?"

Kelly was a little puzzled.

"The people who are willing to do that kind of thing with me have undoubtedly developed some feelings for me, and their original lives must be countless times better than this world. If I want what's best for them, then I have to send them back to their own world."

Li Ke took a deep breath.

"Like Eriina, her world is a very magical world. The food made by the people there can give people the feeling of taking an aphrodisiac even without adding anything strange, and it's quite delicious. It's very incredible for me, who lives in an ordinary world."

Speaking of this, Li Ke was a little melancholy. He really missed Eriina, that youthful, beautiful, and very gentle girl.

Although he could see the kind of tsundere she showed in the manga, Eriina mostly showed her cute side to him, although she would show her proud side, and to him Eriina was very cute.

"Even if there are conflicts in their world, they can compete by seeing who's food is more delicious. Eriina's tongue can taste the most subtle flavors of dishes. For her, she can only use her abilities in a world that cares about food. In this world, this ability to taste food to a great extent is a burden."

Li Ke couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

"So the last time we faced the blood moon, and found that we couldn't stop the zombies no matter what, I sent her away... to be honest, when I did that kind of thing with her and discovered my ability, my first reaction was to hide it, because it's too tiring to live in this world alone."

Li Ke couldn't help but shiver when he said this. The blood moon started early, and the zombies were obviously stronger than last time. He didn't care about the so-called Power of the Dimensional Lord. He didn't want to live here at all.

But unfortunately, he couldn't travel to other worlds.

Without upgrading that ability, he wouldn't be able to travel to other worlds...

And even if he forced it, Kelly and Tsunade could easily defeat him.

"I see."

Kelly turned on the lighter again, letting the flame illuminate the darkness once more.

"I think I understand you."

Kelly's impression of Li Ke hadn't been bad, just simply because Li Ke's words were too suspicious. No matter how you looked at it, Li Ke was the mastermind.

But at this moment, after feeling Li Ke's hesitation and unwillingness, she completely believed Li Ke.

"I told you about me last time, right? It's just a story about an orphan whose parents were killed by the Kartel, who grew up and fought back against the Kartel."

Kelly closed the lighter. After all, this thing was something to be used to start fires in the future, so it wouldn't be good to waste it too much here.

However, she took out two glass bottles.

"Speaking of which, I have some leftover beer here. Do you want to drink some? The beer here tastes weird, but it's delicious."

Kelly's voice was so energetic, and Li Ke felt a bottle full of liquid being placed in his hand, and then Kelly pulled him up.

"Let's go, let's have a drink with Miss Tsunade!"

Chapter 2: A Needed Relationship.

Kelly was undoubtedly an enthusiastic girl. Li Ke had basically never seen her unhappy except for today. Only in this situation that seemed hopeless no matter how you looked at it would she show some serious expressions.

But now, when Li Ke turned on the lighter to illuminate their path, he realized that the smile had reappeared on Kelly's face.

And Kelly, looking at Li Ke's distressed look, smiled and pulled him to sit next to Tsunade, then put a glass of wine next to Tsunade, and waved to Li Ke with a smile.

"Well, don't be so bitter, okay? After all, we can't do anything about this situation."

Li Ke was a little lost in thought. If he remembered correctly, he had said this to Eriina before, but now Kelly was saying it to him. To be honest, it gave him a rather wonderful feeling, leaving him at a loss for words.

"Yeah, after all, there's nothing we can do about it. We have to make friends with despair."

Li Ke smiled. He had already picked up this life of his. Whether it was the previous infection or the first blood moon, or even the struggles he had when he was still weak, his life had been hanging by a thread. Even if he died because the steel fortress was breached now, it wouldn't be unbelievable. There was really no need to care too much about such things.

If there was a chance to fight, then fight. If there wasn't, then just laugh and spend the days ahead. Anyway, the result couldn't be changed.

"Let's drink!"

Kelly cheered and raised her glass, and Li Ke smiled and clinked glasses with Kelly. Only Tsunade, who was still trembling, didn't drink. She was still holding her head and trembling, as if Li Ke and Kelly were illusions beside her.

Li Ke and Kelly drank several glasses, and finished off almost all of the remaining beer amidst the continuous roars and scratching sounds of the zombies. Although it wasn't a good thing to do, there was nothing to criticize the two of them for in their current situation.

The zombies roared continuously, and the steel walls kept banging, but soon there was no tearing sound, only the zombies' roars, and the occasional gnawing and sliding sounds.

And the last bit of light in their dark space disappeared.

Kelly and Li Ke both knew that it wasn't that the zombies had stopped attacking, but that the zombies had completely surrounded the house. The zombies in the distance were constantly enveloping the zombies nearby, and the zombies on the inside had been pressed to the bottom, unable to move again, and could only slide their arms and teeth unwillingly, making some noisy sounds on the steel walls.

But soon, even those sounds disappeared, leaving only bursts of roars. Li Ke's spirit relaxed a little, so the tired him quickly leaned against the door that was easiest to break through under the influence of alcohol, and he would be able to react immediately if there was any movement.

The two of them chatted about all sorts of things, from the differences between their hometowns, to some of the unique foods of their respective hometowns. The two of them talked about a lot of things, but they didn't really talk about anything in particular.

And Tsunade seemed to have recovered a little because the sound of the zombies gradually moved away. She picked up her glass, slowly leaned next to Li Ke and Kelly, and drank, but still didn't speak, just quietly listening to Li Ke and Kelly's conversation, and silently tasting the taste of the world's wine.

Li Ke had to admit that the beer in this Seven Days to Die world did taste good. Other than being a bit strong, there was really nothing to complain about.

If he didn't dislike drinking, he would definitely not be polite.
