"Faster!!"
Watching the zombies charging towards them, Rin Tohsaka sat backwards on the motorcycle, one hand on the handlebars, using her magic to strengthen the vehicle beneath her, while the other held a crossbow, occasionally firing bolts to bring down oncoming zombies.
Although they were moving quickly, the zombies, emitting a green glow and with bloodshot eyes, were still able to catch up and relentlessly close in.
This forced her to use her magic to further strengthen the motorcycle, ensuring it wouldn't break at such high speeds.
After all, if the motorcycle broke, they would all be doomed!
"I've tried my best!"
Mai Shiranui struggled to control the motorcycle, but the terrible road conditions left her exhausted, as even a slight miscalculation could cause it to crash.
Moreover if their motorcycles break down, they certainly couldn't outrun these tireless creatures.
But just as they were completely focused on this, suddenly, the girl who called herself Kiki spoke up.
"With this kind of military force, if it were Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu, they should be able to easily handle it, right? And how could the World Government allow such a monster horde to appear?"
As she spoke, the nearest zombie came within ten meters of them, and several other quadrupedal zombies even made leaping attacks.
At this moment, Rin Tohsaka didn't have time to think about Akainu and Aokiji; she just saw the other girl's nonchalant expression and couldn't help but retort.
"Even if those two guys are powerful, they can't save us! Fire!"
After saying that, she pulled the trigger again, firing a crossbow bolt.
There was no other way; using the submachine guns Li Ke had given them was still too early.
"Don't you know Akainu, Aokiji, and the World Government?"
"So, this is really another world?"
The girl, using the alias Kiki, chuckled softly, glancing at the 'game system' that Rias had mentioned, then crossed her arms in front of her.
"I apologize for hiding it from you before, but it's not too late to tell you now. My name is Nico Robin. People where I'm from prefer to call me the Devil's Child."
"Two-round Flower!"
The instant she spoke, Rin Tohsaka was stunned to see that the zombies in her vision had developed arms on their legs.
These arms grabbed their feet, causing them to fall to the ground and dragging down the zombies behind them, slowing their advance.
Not only that, but the woman in front of her, who called herself Nico Robin, suddenly grew six arms, throwing all six grenades Li Ke had given her in one go.
In an instant, the blast wave destroyed the ground behind them, and the zombies, slowed by the explosion, formed a mountain of flesh and blood in place.
Afterwards, Robin, looking at her unharmed arm, breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke to Mai Shiranui, who was driving in front.
"Hey, Miss Mai, remember that rift we encountered when we came here before? And that broken bridge?"
She was referring to a long rift they had encountered before, where the bridge had inexplicably collapsed, forcing them to take a long detour. Going through that route would have been much faster.
Mai Shiranui had also seen what had just happened in the rearview mirror and knew that her companion could grow arms out of thin air.
"But will you be alright? Judging from your appearance, if your arm is injured, you'll probably be injured too, right? And are you sure you're okay? Miss Robin, the strength in your arm is only your own, isn't it?"
She could roughly guess what Robin was trying to do: use this ability to grow arms out of thin air to create a path for them to cross the broken bridge.
But was Robin's strength enough?
"Such keen observation. Don't worry, as long as we run fast enough, I'll be fine. After all, the road ahead won't be easy to travel without time to waste. And even if we fail, I can ensure your safety."
Mai Shiranui no longer hesitated and nodded. The path they had taken was more rugged than these dilapidated asphalt roads, and it was easy to run into trouble.
Therefore, she chose to trust Robin.
"Okay!"
The three of them quickly led the zombies towards the broken bridge they had seen earlier. After crossing the mountain of flesh and blood, the zombies continued their charge towards them.
And their speed showed no signs of slowing down, forcing Robin and Rin to resort to firearms to slow them down.
Finally, when Robin once again used her arm to trip the zombies, they reached the broken bridge they had seen earlier. However, Mai Shiranui, looking at the long, uneven surface, quickly realized that Robin's arm couldn't possibly support the weight!
She had previously observed that Robin's seemingly magically grown arm had a limit!
"Miss Robin! Make a jumping platform!"
Mai Shiranui shouted sharply, and Robin turned sharply to look ahead. She didn't know why Mai Shiranui had said that, but seeing the length, she hesitated, unsure if she could hold on.
She had been fine when she spoke, but now, her stamina was severely depleted; these zombies were far more troublesome than she had anticipated!
Now she could only trust Mai Shiranui's judgment!
In an instant, countless arms sprouted from thin air before her eyes, one grasping another, not connecting the two bridges, but forming a jump platform!
The moment she saw the jump platform, Mai Shiranui swiftly lifted the handlebars, her two long, slender, and powerful legs clamping tightly around the motorcycle below, the force so great that the motorcycle made a metallic squeaking sound.
As a leaping zombie lunged at them, their motorcycle soared high into the air.
However, because it carried three people, the motorcycle couldn't jump directly over, but just as it was about to land, Mai Shiranui raised her hands high.
Robin understood Mai Shiranui's meaning in an instant.
Instantly, arms linked together, grabbing Mai Shiranui's arms, and in the next moment, the motorcycle, which was about to fall, was lifted up for a split second.
Mai Shiranui's legs gripped the motorcycle tightly, even drawing large bruises, but her efforts paid off; the motorcycle successfully covered nearly seven meters.
The motorcycle landed with a thud. Mai Shiranui gripped the handlebars tightly, twisting the throttle again, and continued racing towards the camp without stopping.
Robin breathed a sigh of relief. Panting, she turned her head and looked back at the endless tidal wave of zombies that seemed to be falling into an abyss, constantly howling. She couldn't help but shiver.
If they had hesitated even a moment, they would probably all be dead there.
However, seeing the zombies gradually quiet down after they had run more than two hundred meters, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and then leaned on Rin Tohsaka's shoulder.
"I'm so tired."
She had basically given it her all. Although she had only used her ability a few times, the number of arms she manifested at once was simply too many.
But fewer is absolutely not an option.
Because fewer would be ineffective in stopping the tsunami-like horde of zombies.
Just as she was resting on Rin Tohsaka's shoulder, Rin suddenly spoke.
"They've stopped charging. As Miss Rias said, they won't bother us anymore once they leave a certain area, but this number is just..."
She was also exhausted. The massive depletion of her magic power had even given her a fever. This was entirely due to the terrible terrain. If she hadn't reinforced the tires with magic, the motorcycle would have definitely been destroyed at high speed!
"...Yes, it's as if they're saying, 'We absolutely won't let you survive.'"
Mai Shiranui also sighed deeply. She felt like her legs weren't even her own anymore, and driving with such concentration was incredibly tiring.
"Yes, they're even more ruthless than pirates and the World Government. However, we'd better not let our guard down; after all, we still have a long way to go, and it's getting dark."
Robin reminded them. If Li Ke and Rias's predictions were correct, then countless zombies would soon descend.
Watching the yellow sand slowly rising from the sky, the three of them fell silent, leaving only the roar of their motorcycles.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey was much smoother. They successfully returned to Li Ke's location before nightfall, just in time to see him emerge from the merchant's house.
"Looks like you're not in good shape. Did you also encounter an endless horde of zombies?"
Li Ke, looking at the grime on their clothes and their low health, knew they had definitely encountered the same thing as Rias.
"That's right, we failed. We encountered an automated factory, and then, an almost endless horde of zombies. By the way, my real name is Nico Robin. Sorry, I used a fake name because I was worried this place was a trap."
Nico Robin?
Li Ke glanced at her, comparing the scene to the exaggerated portrayal in the anime, and realized that, just like in the manga, Robin's waist was excessively thin, and her legs were noticeably longer.
However, it was a beautiful kind of thinness and length.
"It doesn't matter, it's good that we can trust each other now. Also, if we get caught, we can get medicine from over there on the table; it's infection's full treatments. And if you want to take a shower, hurry up, it's getting dark soon."
Rias slowly walked out. Of course, she knew what Li Ke had been doing; she could hear the slapping sounds from inside the house, which was why she didn't stay outside to avoid embarrassing Li Ke.
However, since the others had returned, she naturally appeared as well.
"You've all worked hard. I'm going to take a shower too, so you can leave the water to me."
The three exhausted women nodded without saying anything and went to the bathing area with Rias. Li Ke knew Rias was checking them for scratches or other injuries to prevent anyone from delaying treatment due to wariness.
"Then I'll go cook."
Li Ke didn't say anything and went to cook.
Even after showering, the three women looked listless when they returned to their steel hut, and they seemed to have little energy while eating.
However, when the store's closing announcement sounded, the three of them quickly stood up and looked at the firing ports left in the hut.
Then, they saw countless zombies emerging from various places and moving in one direction.
"So, it really is a blood moon every other day now? If it gets any faster, won't it be a blood moon every day?"
Li Ke looked outside speechlessly, then turned to look at Rias.
"Rias, can your barrier extend to the area where newcomers arrive? I'm worried that those who come later might fall directly into the zombie horde."
Rias nodded, she had already made preparations.
"I've already done that. I've covered the entire mountaintop with a barrier, but it's not activated yet, as the mana consumption is quite high. Also, we won't need to go out to rescue people anymore; newcomers who fall will be directly teleported to the barrier area at the entrance."
"Fantastic! As expected of The President!"
Li Ke couldn't help but praise her, while Rias chuckled lightly, watching Li Ke with leisurely interest.
"You call me president, so you want to become my familiar? Perfect, I also want to see if your characteristics will disappear after fusing with the Evil Piece, becoming a devil uniquely mine."
A teasing smile played on her lips, because she knew Li Ke wouldn't.
"Well, forget it. My human identity is still quite important to me."
Li Ke scratched his cheek. Why would he sell his special ability for the demonic power of Rias's world?
If it were the demonic power of Sparda from the Devil May Cry world, he might risk trying, but Rias's demonic pawn? Forget it. Even if he became a devil, he'd only be a lower-level devil.
There's no need to sell that level of power.
Besides, he could sell it later…
"Hmm, that's really a pity."
Rias smiled regretfully, about to change the subject, when Robin spoke up.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Li Ke, you said you could send us back with only a mouth, right?"
Li Ke nodded. That was part of the reason he stayed. Although his method of sending people home was a bit strange, it was still a way.
Saving one person is better than nothing.
"Ah, yes, although I don't know why, my abilities only work if we did sexual related act."
Robin nodded, then smiled at Li Ke.
"Then I'll leave it to you. However, the way I do that kind of thing with you might be a little strange."
For Robin, everything here was far too bizarre. She'd better go back as soon as possible. As for whether she should trust Li Ke…
Clearly, she had no choice.
"That's possible, but can we wait until the day after tomorrow? It's mainly to demonstrate for the next batch of new recruits."
Li Ke asked tentatively.
"Sure."
Robin didn't object and nodded. She was also curious about the books and languages Li Ke had brought and wanted to observe them during this time. Besides, Crocodile wasn't in a hurry.
So, after dinner, Li Ke and Robin went to a separate room.
Li Ke was still curious about what Robin meant by "strange," but the moment he sat on the bed, he understood why.
Before him stood a buttock.
A buttock that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere on the bed.
It was hairy, possessed everything a normal woman had, and even its leg shape and skin color were identical to Robin's.
Besides, there was a Robin's head.
"..."
It was indeed quite strange!
"I'd like to test your abilities. Also, I'm a little hesitant. If possible, please use this first so I can get used to it. Don't worry, it's the same as mine inside."
Robin explained carefully. She wasn't against using her body, but It was simply a matter of being wary. If using the body she created with her Flower-Flower Fruit could make Li Ke's ability work, wouldn't she have struck gold?
"It's not impossible..."
Li Ke's expression was somewhat strange, but he still took off his pants.
"Then please, don't be shy."
Robin gestured for him and went to another cubicle, leaving Li Ke alone.
Looking at the head and buttocks on the table staring at him, Li Ke covered his face speechlessly.
This was really strange!
And could the Flower-Flower Fruit really do something like this?
Li Ke curiously tapped Robin's newly grown head, but was astonished to find that it was solid!
He then rubbed the buttocks; the full flesh and incredible elasticity pleased Li Ke, and what Li Ke didn't know how to comment on was that both of them even had body temperature.
He couldn't resist patting the buttocks a few times, creating ripples and making a rustling sound from the hair.
Li Ke placed his hand down there and discovered that Robin's hair was surprisingly thick.
Tsunade didn't have armpit hair, but her pubic hair was quite thick, which surprised Li Ke. He hadn't expected Robin's to be so thick, and...
Li Ke's fingers gently traced the tightly closed pubic hairline. The next moment, the area began to wriggle, making a swallowing motion.
Is this the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Soul-Chasing Cave?!
Or the Seven Luminaries and Eight Desolations Soul-Devouring Cave?
Having just experienced 2B's defeat, Li Ke was slightly flustered.
Although his body had recovered, the feeling of defeat still lingered, leaving him with a slight psychological shadow. So, seeing a beautiful buttocks sticking out in front of him made him feel a little insecure.
But most importantly...
"I can't hold it; it feels like something's missing."
Looking at the head and buttocks in front of him, he just couldn't muster any interest.
Because it was too bizarre!
