for Advance Chapter

 Even if he died, Li Ke was not going to surrender here. Although the car was still collapsing under the constant pushing and tearing of the zombies, Li Ke still held on to the wooden frame beside him and forced his way to the vicinity of the car that was about to be damaged.

  Li Ke heard very clearly that the first layer of iron sheet of the car had been removed. If he couldn't hurry up, the wooden frame he laid in the car would not be able to last until he finished preparing everything.

  "You sons of bitches..."

  Li Ke closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly took out a set of gunpowder.

  There were one thousand piles of gunpowder in his inventory, and one pile of gunpowder actually showed as a handful of black gunpowder. So, Li Ke did not hesitate to open the sack of gunpowder that fell in front of him, which was unscientifically filled with a thousand piles of gunpowder, and poured the black gunpowder inside towards the front of the car.

  Suddenly, a large amount of gunpowder continuously spurted out from the opening of the small sack, and kept falling into the carriage that had been sealed by Li Ke, burying the entire front of the car, and even the door of the car was buried tightly by the black gunpowder.

  "Huh... I remember some mythbusters saying that a wall could block most of the damage from the explosion?"

  Li Ke poured the black gunpowder in his hand while continuously reinforcing the places that did not seem to be very airtight. Then the next moment, amid the roars of countless zombies, he heard the sound of large pieces of iron being torn apart, and the sound of zombies' hands grabbing the frame blocks he made.

  Li Ke immediately threw the burlap bag in his hand, which was still spraying black powder, to the front of the car, and in an instant placed several blocks of earth and gravel in front of him.

  And the moment he finished, he also clearly saw that the wall of the RV's front window was suddenly smashed open, revealing the zombie's cheek.

  Without any hesitation, Li Ke took out his lighter, lit a piece of plastic, and then threw the lit plastic in the direction of the gunpowder.

  As the burning plastic flew around, Li Ke quickly blocked the only hole with rubble and curled up his body.

  The next moment, while Li Ke was feeling nervous or uneasy, a strong shock came, followed by a burst of fire and explosion.

  Li Ke only felt his body flying up, and then the car hit his body again. The roar and roar of the zombies disappeared in an instant. He could only hear the buzzing in his ears. Then, in a trance, he saw the wall he built broken into pieces, and a strange feeling of dizziness and displacement.

  A strong feeling of weightlessness also came over me, but the next moment, there was another vibration, but this time it was much smaller.

  The next moment, Li Ke fell on the wooden frame he had built, his head buzzing constantly. He could even clearly feel that his left and right arms were in so much pain that he could not move them. The world in front of him was blood red and he could not see anything clearly.

  But he was not dead yet, and had not completely fainted. He looked at the stone wall he had built and unexpectedly found that the wall he had built was not seriously damaged. Instead, the roof of the RV was blown off, allowing him to see outside.

  He was no longer outside the town. He was only a short distance away from the merchant and the gas station, but unfortunately, this distance was filled with dense, countless, burning zombies.

  ...combustion?

  Li Ke's mind was confused for a moment, and then he woke up the next moment. He looked at the zombies with flames on their bodies, as well as the burning front half of the RV and the engine and fuel tank, and finally understood what his current situation was.

  The thrown black powder not only exploded successfully, but the power of the explosion directly ignited the fuel tank. Not only that, the surrounding zombies were also burned.

  But because the density was so great, those zombies that were clearly not close to here were also ignited by the flames on other zombies and were constantly burning.

  Li Ke took a deep breath and tried to wake himself up, because several zombies with flames all over their bodies were rushing towards him, and the zombies around him who had not been killed were still pushing the car.

  Li Ke wanted to move his body, but unfortunately he still couldn't move. He then realized that his legs were pressed down by the cabinets of the RV. The entire RV was in pieces except for the bed.

  Gritting his teeth, Li Ke adjusted the machine gun with his mind and fired with one hand. Hot bullets spurted out. At this moment, he didn't even think about what was meant by point shooting. He just emptied all the bullets directly.

  But when he wanted to change the bullet, he couldn't because his arm was pinned down.

  But a strange thing happened. Although his hand did not move, the bullet was still successfully loaded. However, at this time, the zombies had already pushed the broken car a little further towards the merchant's house, allowing Li Ke to see the motionless merchant again.

  The next moment, just when Li Ke thought that the broken car would be pushed into the wall of the store by the group of burning zombies, Li Ke felt a strong sense of dizziness and displacement again. Before he could react, everything in front of him changed.

  The oppression on the body disappeared, the burning sensation also disappeared, not only that, the zombies that were so dense that there was no end in sight also disappeared.

  But instead, there were zombies that had not been ignited and were running towards the RV in intact bodies!

  Li Ke was stunned for a second before he realized that he was suddenly teleported to the side of a gas station pillar. The next moment, he rushed towards the steel pillar without hesitation, and the zombies suddenly changed direction and pounced towards Li Ke.

  Then he jumped onto a wooden block, and then endured the pain in his legs again and barely jumped onto the second wooden frame.

  However, at this time, the first wooden frame he had placed had been torn to pieces by countless zombies. Li Ke did not dare to waste time at all. He jumped again and placed a wooden block under his feet again.

  His feet stepped on the wooden block again, but the intense pain almost made Li Ke fall down. He had to sit on the wooden block to catch his breath, watching the burning zombies rushing from his RV and the zombies rushing from all directions.

  However, although they were temporarily safe, Li Ke saw clearly that in less than three seconds, the zombies below had begun to form a pile and were trying to climb up.

  Enduring the pain, Li Ke took a look at the pillar and did not jump directly. Instead, he built two frames on both sides for handrails, and then continued to build the wooden frame upwards.

  With every jump, Li Ke could feel his body getting weaker and his life slipping away, but in order to continue struggling, he had to keep doing it.

  The tearing pain made Li Ke's head more and more dizzy. When he finally jumped to the top of the gas station and saw the steel beams, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  A platform was built between the steel beams with stones, and Li Ke finally had time to look at the zombies below.

  But when he saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  "This world really wants to kill me..."

  What he saw was a pile of zombies that had already reached half of the steel pillar. The zombies that he had seen before, jumping like frogs, were already trying to jump towards him.

  While speaking, Li Ke couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but he didn't care. In this situation, let alone spitting out blood, what would happen if he lost an arm?

  "Damn it, I have to find a way to take a few more away."

  Li Ke spat out a mouthful of blood and began to gasp for breath, then looked at the wooden frame in his hand. He materialized the last two sets of gunpowder, then suddenly tore open the unscientific small sack and threw it directly at the zombies below.

  Two unscientific small sacks continuously sprayed black gunpowder in the air, sprinkling the gunpowder on the zombies.

  Afterwards, Li Ke, who was almost at his limit, pulled the trigger directly, and a series of bullets hit the scattered gunpowder.

  In an instant, two clouds of fire exploded in the air. What surprised Li Ke was that the two small sacks were also ignited, and then exploded violently, setting off a shock wave.

  Li Ke, whose upper body was ejected, was naturally also affected by the shock wave. He was blown away for a moment and then fell heavily on the stone slab.

  There was another intense pain, followed by a buzzing sound and a large amount of flames.

  But Li Ke didn't care about anything this time.

  He took out the barbecue made by Erina Nakiri from his arms. This was a reserve he had put in his pocket as a meal to eat if he had the chance to escape.

  But in his current condition, let alone escaping, he would be lucky to survive for half an hour.

  As Li Ke ate the barbecue bite by bite, his consciousness became more and more blurred. Finally, as he felt a series of hazy explosions and burning sounds, his eyes slowly closed.

  "I..."

  Are you going to die?

  Darkness descends.

  Li Ke only had one consciousness at the end.

  Finally...

  ————————

  As the night passed, the fresh breeze kept blowing on Li Ke's cheeks. He opened his eyes a little confused, but what he saw was the blackened ceiling.

  The severe headache made him feel dizzy. He used a lot of strength to sit up from the broken stone wall and looked around in a daze.

  Then, what he saw was a large number of charred corpses, the entire town that had been burned to ashes, and the forest that was still emitting thick smoke, all of which showed what had happened here before.

  Of course, the merchant's buildings remain intact as always.

  "Has this been hell since the beginning?"

  This thought came into Li Ke's hazy mind, but the next moment, the pain in his body and his hungry stomach made him wake up and realize that he was not dead yet.

  "So, how did I survive?"

  Li Ke was a little confused. He lowered his head to look at the gas station, but found that the area below the gas station, which was intact before but had run out of oil in the gas pump, had become a ruin. There were not only several large pits on the ground, but even a huge deep pit appeared where the oil tank was located at the back.

  But even so, there were still scattered flames burning below, as if endless flames would erupt again in the next moment.

  Li Ke was stunned for a while before he reacted and understood what had happened.

  "The flames ignited the oil tanks? Then a bunch of zombies were killed, and the flames have been burning until now?"

  This is indeed the case, but not entirely: after Li Ke fainted, the gunpowder he ignited successfully ignited the gasoline remaining in the gas pump, and then the flames burned directly towards the oil tank, and then the oil tank naturally exploded, turning the entire area into a sea of ​​fire.

  But the endless zombies continued to charge towards here and were burned to death by the flames.

  But four hours after Li Ke fell into a coma, these zombies suddenly lost their vitality and all lost interest in this place. Just like when they came, they scattered and left, leaving only those zombies that died from the flames.

  Li Ke didn't know all this, but being able to survive made him feel very lucky.

  "I don't know how I survived, but since I did, I'll just keep living well..."

  After coughing, Li Ke looked at his system panel, and then a long list of negative status appeared on his panel.

  Concussion: 54 hours and 36 minutes.

  Fracture: 68 hours and 7 minutes.

  Internal bleeding: 72 hours and 21 minutes.

  Infections cured: 23%.

  Laceration: 36 hours and 21 minutes.

  Erina Nakiri's Love: 38 hours and 42 minutes.

  "Um?"

  Li Ke could understand the rest, but the last one made him curious, so he opened it and took a look.

  Erina Nakiri's Love: After eating Erina Nakiri's dishes, your health limit will be increased by 50 points, your stamina limit will be increased by 50 points, your stamina will recover by 200%, your health will recover by 20 points per hour, and you will not be killed by any negative buffs, injuries, or diseases.

  Cure 50% of infections.

  Li Ke immediately thought of the barbecue he had eaten before, so he looked over and saw something different.

  A big letter E appeared on the barbecue.

  Li Ke put it into the inventory, and then found that the name of the barbecue had changed.

  Erina Nakiri's Wedding BBQ: Health limit increased by 50 points, endurance limit increased by 50 points, endurance recovery by 200%, health recovery by 20 points per hour, and will not be killed by any negative buff, injury, or disease.

  Cure 50% of infections.

  The barbecue with the girls' love is very delicious!

  Li Ke couldn't help but burst into laughter. He glanced at his remaining 6 points of life and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

  Then he stood up, ready to continue his life and face the next wave of zombies.

  But at this moment, an incredible thing appeared before his eyes.

  Two balls of light suddenly appeared above the town that had burned into ruins. The next moment, two figures appeared in Li Ke's eyes with confused expressions.

  One of them had blonde hair and was wearing a kimono-like outfit, while Li Ke recognized the other one at a glance.

  "Kelly?!!"
