Chapter 223: The beautiful lady was so moved that she couldn't say a word

No way, the skull was really hard.

Lin Li was only wearing ordinary sneakers.

He hoped he wouldn't kick himself into getting paronychia.

Your mother's head, like a ball, kicked to the department store; the department store, selling balls, is selling your mother's head.

Lin Li still remembered and could sing this nationwide unified heartwarming little nursery rhyme. Looking at it now, he was indeed too naive when he was a child. How painful it must have been to kick that!

Lin Li came to the beautiful lady who had been forced to "split up," took out a fruit knife from his backpack, and started to leave a hand for himself.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh."

During this time, Lin Li felt his stomach churning many times.

It was indeed disgusting. The only consolation was that there wasn't much of a rotting stench in terms of smell, but the scene was too unbearable to look at. He felt that if he looked at it one more time, he would get sick.

Therefore, Lin Li subconsciously reached out to press his mask tighter, but after noticing that his gloves seemed even more miserable, he silently retracted them.

Now his hands felt comparable to Sister Yu's feet.

Who would dare to lick them?

He had better pray that these plastic gloves wouldn't leak oil like plastic gloves, otherwise, Lin Li would definitely find trouble with them.

The fruit knife was at least brand new. Even if it wasn't expensive, at least it was still very sharp now. Therefore, in less than half a minute, Lin Li had removed the beautiful lady's entire arm, including the upper and lower arms.

Lin Li removed the beautiful lady's right hand first, so that when they held hands with their left hands later, if an emergency occurred, his free dominant right hand could better handle it.

However, since he was already here, Lin Li simply borrowed the other hand as his backup hidden energy source.

Anyway, Lin Li asked for the beautiful lady's opinion, and she didn't say she disagreed.

Tentatively holding it, the beautiful lady's hand was small and soft, as soft and boneless as a pig's trotter that had been boiled for several hours.

Damn.

Lin Li suddenly discovered that in his memory, including Wu Min, he had never held hands with a woman before.

The beautiful lady was the first.

"How can there be a perfect method in the world, to not let down Xiaojing and not let down the lady?"

Holding a woman's hand, he was actually thinking about another woman in his mind.

He was really a scumbag.

Suddenly, he somewhat understood Bai Bufan's haremism. If only he could see the scene of Xiaojing and the beautiful lady getting along harmoniously together—this was something Lin Li was truly looking forward to.

His thinking had wandered too far. Coming back to his senses, he held the beautiful lady's right hand and hung the left hand around his neck like a scarf. Lin Li looked around.

What he needed to do now was wait for sunrise.

Judging from Lin Li's experience, this dim sky should see sunrise in at most one or two hours.

But in this world, Lin Li didn't know if his common sense was valid.

Lin Li could stay in this world for at most five hours. Once the five hours were up, he would immediately return to reality.

Killing zombies couldn't delay his schooling.

And one thing could be inferred: the time he could stay in this world also had an upper limit—because the trigger description for the "holding hands at sunrise" task specifically pointed out "although currently only able to stay for a short time."

Otherwise, as long as he didn't click the second button, wouldn't he be able to stay in this world forever?

As for how long this time was, if he wanted to test it, he could only wait until the weekend; he still had to study tomorrow.

Sunrise could be seen anywhere, but Lin Li set his sights on the "high building" he had noticed just now, estimated to be 3.5 stories tall.

Staying on the "road" between these buildings, on the premise that it was best not to keep 【Ear Divine Ability】 on to waste physical strength, once he didn't notice a zombie approaching and met "love" at a corner, the battle would be enough to make Lin Li drink a pot.

And as the saying goes, standing high, peeing far. An open field of vision would help Lin Li further explore this world; he couldn't just wait dryly until sunrise.

Plan determined, Lin Li immediately tiptoed toward the building.

After entering the building, Lin Li turned the flashlight to the lowest setting and looked for the stairs to go up.

He would stop after every step to listen and observe the surroundings.

What Lin Li heard most clearly was his own deafening heartbeat.

This kind of unknown dark exploration, and a real-life version at that, was truly a bit scary... very exciting, especially when he accidentally stepped on some gravel while climbing the stairs and caused a sound.

From the scene illuminated by the flashlight, this building looked like a low office building, with many desks, chairs, and things that should be computers inside.

Scaring himself.

Not in a hurry to explore too much, he held the beautiful lady's hand and arrived at the fourth floor. Nothing happened; there were no living creatures in the building at all.

Lin Li was crawling at this very moment.

On the fourth floor, only the west and south sides had walls that could barely be called walls; in other directions, there was only a shallow layer of broken gravel at the bottom as cover.

From his tactical backpack, Lin Li took out a "black technology telescope, ultra-high-definition, high-magnification, night-vision sniper monocular."

The product name was so long when he bought it, twelve yuan and nine cents. Whether the technology was "black" or not, he didn't know, but the merchant's heart should be quite black. Lin Li knew he was screwed when he picked it up and found it light as a feather.

It was just a plastic shell with a broken lens. Damn, no shipping insurance; the return shipping cost was almost more than the item itself.

It could only be said that you get what you pay for. It was useful, but not much.

At the end of the field of vision on the northwest side, there was a zombie moving slowly.

At the intersection next to the building on the east side, there were also two zombies standing still and swaying.

Although it was already considered a high place, the low buildings would still block his vision, so this was all the zombies Lin Li could see after carefully spending ten minutes checking the surroundings.

If only he had a drone.

Lin Li completely felt the gap in equipment.

He really had to find a way to earn some money now.

"Believe me, I will definitely give you a better life." Lin Li patted the beautiful lady's hand and comforted her.

Since he was idle, he put the tactical backpack aside and used the beautiful lady's hand as a "back scratcher" while thinking.

Could he bring things from reality to this world, and could he take them away when he returned?

It should be possible... Lin Li remembered that when he returned last time, there was quite a bit of dust on the soles of his slippers.

Then could he rely on smuggling things from this world to earn some money in reality?

Actually, there were many ways to make money quickly and easily in reality; this matter was recorded in considerable detail in the "Criminal Law."

A classic "Retard Bar" quiz: The prison's defense is so tight, how do prisoners get in? Answer: By exploiting loopholes in the law.

The people inside did speak well, but Lin Li didn't want to be with them.

He was so handsome, so talented, so humorous and witty... he had too many advantages, and he was afraid of being "pegged."

Better to be a smuggler and earn money.

Then if he could only carry dead objects, what should he bring?

Things that were easy to cash out, had high returns, existed in reality, and whose cashing-out process wouldn't attract attention.

Theoretically, the steel bars embedded in the walls in front of him could also be sold for money, but the efficiency was too low, and the scrap collector might look smiling on the surface, but three minutes later, the Demon Suppression Division would run over to ask him about the source of the steel bars.

And he wasn't a sports student; it was a bit difficult to break steel bars with his bare hands and bring them back to reality. Gold.

When Lin Li gave the screening criteria, gold, the absolute standard answer, had actually already appeared in his mind.

"This world has steel bars, there are also scrapped cars on the road, and the things in the building are also very familiar. I feel that the technology tree and resource tree of this world are about the same, so gold should exist."

Placing the beautiful lady's hands on the roof, Lin Li went downstairs with a flashlight to explore the building.

Because he had confirmed in advance that there were no living creatures in the building, Lin Li's courage grew quite a bit.

"Xingsheng Trading Company."

Shaking the dust off the paper, Lin Li read the text on it softly.

He wasn't very surprised that the text was also Chinese characters.

So what if they spoke Chinese? Weren't the cultivation techniques in the cultivation world also in traditional characters?

When poor, shelve disputes; when rich, "it has been our territory since ancient times."

This meant that this world had been the territory of the East since ancient times.

(Read every word of the content without missing any!)

The main content of the paper was commercial documents, which were meaningless to read. Lin Li spent half an hour carefully studying the building.

He didn't find anything of value.

The drawers were all open, containing only messy papers and notebooks.

Occasionally, he could open a "hidden item"—a rotten hand was stuck in a drawer.

He almost didn't find anything of value. Even the shabbiest company shouldn't be like this. This building must have been swept by others, but judging from the degree of dust accumulation, the last sweep was a long time ago.

"I don't know if there are any survivors in this world now." Lin Li sighed.

With no harvest, Lin Li returned to the top floor. He could clearly feel that the sky was much brighter, especially in the east.

It seemed that sunrise was not far away.

Lin Li put away his thoughts.

Don't miss the sunrise and fail the task because of exploration; it wouldn't be worth the loss.

By the way, organize his thoughts.

The places with the most gold, besides under Zhang Jiao's hands, should be jewelry stores and banks.

Especially jewelry stores. When bank gold isn't publicized, it's all in the safe. Even if he finds it, he might not be able to open it, but jewelry stores don't have such troubles.

Judging from the building density and situation in this area, it shouldn't have been backward before the zombie crisis broke out. There must be more than one jewelry store and bank.

And even if the building had been swept by survivors, gold couldn't be exchanged for food during the doomsday survival. It had no meaning in the survival stage, so they would only discard it like worn-out shoes. Therefore, it was very likely that the gold was still waiting for him in the ruins.

The problem now became that Lin Li wasn't familiar with this "city" and didn't have a city map before the zombie outbreak.

"Beautiful lady, why aren't you vain at all? Where is your jewelry?" Lin Li checked the beautiful lady's two hands and found that there was only rotten flesh and no decoration, so he shook his head in disappointment:

"Love is not about occupying but about fulfilling. If you continue like this, I'm going to run toward better people."

The beautiful lady didn't speak, just waved her hands blindly, probably hoping Lin Li wouldn't leave.

"Alright, I'll give you one more chance. Let's watch the sunrise."

Playing a super-realistic game of house with himself was quite interesting. Lin Li chuckled and used tape to tie the beautiful lady's hand to his, never to be separated.

He did this because he wasn't sure about the system's nature—would it force him to hold hands throughout the entire sunrise process to count as completion? To be safe, tying them up like this meant he wouldn't have to pay attention to this point all the time.

"Uh..."

After waiting on the roof for a few minutes, a faint zombie roar came.

Lin Li's eyes narrowed instantly. He reactivated the 【Ear Divine Ability】 that he had turned off to save energy. His body, which had been sitting, crawled and moved to the edge of the wall, poking his head out to check the situation.

The sound became clearer and clearer, not just because of 【Ear Divine Ability】, but also because the zombies were approaching this side, and there seemed to be more than one.

Sure enough, first a zombie appeared, running with a twisted body. A few seconds and ten seconds later, a dozen or so more ran out one after another.

And the sound they caused seemed to have led other zombies nearby to come here as well.

Lin Li curled up on the roof, his brows furrowed.

His situation suddenly became much more dangerous.

Lin Li played a game when he was a child where the ground was lava and you absolutely couldn't step on it. Now, the downstairs was truly dangerous lava.

What triggered their chaos? If they were chasing something, why didn't he notice it at all?

Or was this the daily madness of zombies in this world?

Lin Li poked his head out again and found that several zombies seemed to have noticed the beautiful lady (the main body), slowly walked toward her, and stood in front of her.

They didn't touch the corpse either. Several looked at it, weren't interested, and continued to move slowly nearby. Several others stood on the spot and started to sway their bodies slightly, dazed.

Why were this group of zombies as inexplicable as little fairies?

The horizon had begun to glow with a faint light, tearing through the darkness that shrouded the city ruins like thick ink.

Sunrise was coming.

Temporarily suppressing his doubts, Lin Li huddled in the corner of the two walls, holding the beautiful lady's hand tightly, and enjoyed the sunrise.

The light was initially a faint gray-white. As time passed, the light gradually strengthened and began to be dyed with orange-red colors. This light shone on the dilapidated buildings, casting a hazy and eerie radiance on the ruins.

Somewhat desolate and beautiful.

The wandering zombies looked even more sinister and terrifying under the orange-red light.

It was truly the most heaven-defying sunrise Lin Li had ever seen in his life.

"Do you like it, lady?"

The beautiful lady didn't speak, but gave a thumbs up, and then started typing "666."

"As long as you like it."

Lin Li and the beautiful lady held hands, leaning against each other, watching the sun rise high.

His ears were focused.

What he was looking forward to was not the sound of zombies, but—
