9 a.m.
The fire in the woods had gradually extinguished, turning most of the forest into charred, barren wasteland.
Chen Ke and Li Zi trekked deeper into the forest, one dressed in a Victorian era overcoat, the other shamefully clad in S&M lingerie.
Despite their odd attire, Li Zi did not show any discomfort but walked unabashedly ahead.
The row of injection holes on her exposed back was too conspicuous, causing Chen Ke much concern.
He had once asked Diana about Spiritual Agents; they needed to inject a liquid into their spinal cords to serve as energy to use their superpowers, handle artifacts, but after a certain period, they must go to an internal hospital for drainage treatment.
Chen Ke realized that many things in the world he had crossed into were evolved from the real world.
The two hiked through the woods for most of the day, and by noon, under the scorching sun, they found a clearing to rest. Chen Ke took out some food and water for Li Zi.
