Li Ke remembered exactly what the woman named Lady Kiri looked like. In fact, no dungeon player would forget what she looked like.
The two large hairpins in her hair, the cheongsam-like dress, and the lace gloves on only one arm all pointed to one thing:
That this person was Lady Kiri.
However, the other woman was different. Li Ke couldn't see her face clearly, only that she was wearing a kimono-like dress and was trembling after landing, seemingly terrified.
"Is her mental fortitude that weak?"
Despite this, Li Ke didn't intend to take any risks. He sat on his platform, took out his gun, and quietly recovered his strength, waiting for them to discover him.
However, Li Ke underestimated the intuition and sharpness of this woman, who resembled Lady Kiri. It didn't take long for her to look over, and when she saw the gun in Li Ke's hand, her demeanor shifted sharply, but she immediately relaxed, a smile appearing on her face.
Then she waved her arm at Li Ke, causing her two mounds of white breasts to sway, as if she were about to see something even better.
The moment she spoke, Li Ke heard that incredibly familiar, forceful tone.
"Hey, young man, you look like you need help. Have you gotten separated from your companions? Also, if possible, could you tell me where I am?"
The confident yet slightly slick tone was undoubtedly Lady Kiri's voice, and Li Ke also noticed two peculiar revolvers tucked into her waistband.
If it really was Lady Kiri, the Lady Kiri from the Arad continent, then Li Ke believed that even if he fired first, Lady Kiri could deliver a bullet to his head in an instant. So he took a deep breath, aiming his game system at Kiri's head while answering her question.
"I don't know where this place is, but it's a very dangerous place… Also, I do need help, but how can I trust you?"
When Li Ke spoke, he realized his voice had become incredibly hoarse. Not only that, but he also felt dizzy and even nauseous as soon as he spoke.
This was due to severe internal injuries, and Li Ke had no way to treat them.
Kiri shook her head helplessly. With Li Ke covered in blood, there was nothing she could do. She only knew a little battlefield first aid, and nothing more.
And most importantly, she didn't have any first-aid supplies on her. If she had, she wouldn't have been reduced to jumping into the sea, trying to find a way to survive.
"Ah, well... even if you say that, I don't have any medical kit to treat you. Besides, is this Arad Continent? It looks almost like the Celestial Realm, with so many corpses and gunpowder smoke. But don't worry, as long as you don't attack me, I won't attack you either. I, the renowned Kiri, wouldn't do such a thing."
Kiri pointed to herself with her thumb, then gave a helpless look.
But just then, another person who appeared with Kiri spoke up. She clutched her abdomen, taking deep breaths, and managed to speak.
"I'm a healer. Treat his external wounds first... I can heal him."
The blonde woman threw down a wad of gauze and bandages, then knelt down, clutching her chest and taking deep breaths.
And Li Ke saw the woman's face at that moment.
Overall, she was a very beautiful woman. Even Erina Nakiri couldn't compare to her in terms of bust size, and her clothing, like Kiri's, revealed a similar amount of skin around the chest, suggesting that with a little movement, certain things would be clearly visible.
But looking at her hair, Li Ke couldn't recall any character who was a seriously ill doctor.
After all, judging from this woman's appearance, she wasn't in good health either.
"Okay, then, young man, please don't shoot. Once we've treated you, you should be willing to tell us everything, right? Um, wait a moment, I'll go find something that can help."
Kiri waved to Li Ke, intending to find something nearby to make a ladder, but Li Ke shook his head.
"No need, I'll get down myself..."
Li Ke coughed twice, barely managing to stand up, and walked to the wooden blocks he had previously erected. Most of these blocks were damaged, forcing Li Ke to choose a more laborious method.
It was as if he were building a spiral ladder downwards from this pillar.
Wooden blocks kept appearing in Li Ke's hands, being pieced together out of thin air and attached to the pillar. Kiri, watching from below, was dumbfounded.
In her eyes, Li Ke simply reached out, and a large piece of wood appeared beneath his feet, standing upright, as if he had created a staircase out of thin air.
"My God... are you a mage?"
Watching Li Ke slowly descend the stairs, Kiri kept an eye on him, making sure she could catch him if he accidentally fell, and asked curiously.
But Li Ke just coughed and waved his hands, because he really didn't want to talk.
As he slowly descended the stairs, Li Ke truly felt like he was about to die. With each step, he felt closer to death. Finally, when he was almost at the bottom, he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.
The earth loomed larger before his eyes. Just as he thought he was about to collapse, a patch of white suddenly appeared on Li Ke's face. Then he felt his head hit a surprisingly soft mound, smelling a mixture of gunpowder and a faint whiff of smoke.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, realizing he had been rescued by this person who called Kiri. Only then did he lower his guard and relax.
He involuntarily leaned against Kiri, who helped him to a relatively clean and flat asphalt road so he could lie down and rest.
But to their surprise, the blonde woman who claimed to be a doctor was still trembling and showed no intention of coming closer.
Li Ke glanced at Kiri, then tried to move his arm, but couldn't lift it at all. Trying to lift his head only brought a wave of dizziness.
Further delay was not an option, so he immediately took out his scrap metal gun and ammunition, pointing it towards the back of the gas station.
"There are guns and bullets here, and a pond over there, along with tools for boiling water. But be careful, there are many zombies in this world; only a headshot will kill them."
After saying these words, Li Ke felt dizzy again, then everything went black, and he fainted once more.
Kiri looked at the unconscious Li Ke, and the inexplicably appearing gun and bullets, scratching her head. She looked at the still trembling female doctor.
She wanted to ask why the doctor hadn't started treatment yet, but seeing the doctor struggling to maintain her composure and prevent her face from completely collapsing from fear, she understood.
"Hemophobia?"
Without saying anything more, Kiri took the gun Li Ke had given her, picked up some scattered bullets, and walked towards the back of the gas station.
Fortunately, the pond behind the gas station wasn't affected, although it was covered in ashes from vegetation. But at this point, there was no time to worry about that. After quickly filtering the water with her clothes, Kiri brought a bucket of water to Li Ke's side. She wiped his face and then tore off his clothes to examine his injuries.
"This kid is really lucky..."
Looking at the dense lacerations and bruises on Li Ke's body, and the clearly dislocated bones, Kiri couldn't help but gasp.
If the location were even slightly off, the bone would have pierced his lung, and survival would have been impossible.
To be precise, this man wouldn't have made it to their doorstep.
After cleaning most of the blood from Li Ke's body, Kiri looked at the still trembling female doctor, who remained motionless, and asked directly.
"Although I've tried my best, there are still some wounds that haven't been cleaned properly, so can you really treat him?"
Although Kiri guessed the woman in front of her might have some kind of PTSD, Li Ke's condition was so bad that she didn't have a better solution.
"I...I'll try. Just take my hand and place it on his chest, and I'll treat him."
The blonde woman turned around with her eyes closed, but Kiri could still see her body trembling. She really wanted to complain about how the woman was going to treat Li Ke without seeing him.
But thinking about the miraculous abilities Li Ke had displayed, she did as she was told.
Perhaps this woman had the same ability.
The blonde woman, guided by Kiri, slowly walked to Li Ke's side and touched the wounds on his body. Every time she touched the blood, Kiri could clearly feel her hand trembling.
But then, a miraculous scene unfolded.
A green light suddenly shone from the woman's palm. After entering Li Ke's body, the green light caused his wounds to visibly heal, and his previously weak breathing gradually became steady.
However, the price was that the woman's forehead began to bead with sweat, and her body trembled and swayed, seemingly about to collapse.
"My chakra...how can it be so low!"
The blonde woman asked weakly. As she treated Li Ke, she felt her strength rapidly diminishing!
This was impossible before!
Then, the instant Li Ke awoke, the woman's body collapsed towards him. Li Ke, who had just awakened, only had time to see the sun for a fleeting moment before being struck in the face by a soft, white object. His breathing stopped abruptly, causing his brain to suffer another bout of oxygen deprivation, plunging him into darkness.
