Jiangbei Hospital has two underground levels, divided by a central axis into four areas: the medication storage room, the medical equipment storage room, and the Morgue.
On the north side of the first underground level is Mortuary One, directly opposite it is the medication storage room. The structure of Underground Level Two is similar, except that its south side houses the medical equipment storage room.
Li Nan explained the structure of the underground to the fourteen people behind him, continuing, "Due to the high volume of medication usage and the need for ample space to transport medical equipment, both underground levels utilize a Freight Elevator!"
One of Zhang Li's companions asked, "Why are medical devices stored underground?"
Li Nan explained, "Medical Equipment Storage Room on Underground Level Two contains damaged or decommissioned equipment. Just a few days ago, we sent in an X-Ray Contact Therapy Machine! That thing is massive, weighing five to six tons!"
Another soldier asked, "What is an X-Ray Contact Therapy Machine, and what does it do?"
Li Nan smiled and said, "It uses high-voltage electricity to generate X-rays, allowing for comprehensive examination of human ailments. However, that machine has reached its usage limit and cannot be used anymore according to health standards!"
While speaking, Li Nan had already led the fourteen people to an elevator entrance on the south side of the hospital lobby.
This elevator entrance was not open to the public; it was for internal use only. They reached this elevator after turning into a storage-like area.
Li Nan pressed a button, and the elevator doors opened. The space inside was quite large; as a Freight Elevator, it could easily accommodate fifteen strong men.
Zhang Li asked Li Nan, "Are we going to the first underground level or Underground Level Two?"
"First underground level!" Li Nan replied decisively. This was because three bodies scheduled for tonight had been sent to Mortuary One according to the body registration form.
In fact, before getting on the elevator, Li Nan had already recounted what Mo Xiaohui had seen in the stairwell. Naturally, Zhang Li did not dare to be negligent about this matter and immediately led his companions down from the fourth floor to where the large iron door had been sealed.
Upon seeing that the iron door was intact, Zhang Li let out a sigh of relief. However, although the door had not been broken, its surroundings were pockmarked, with a fist-sized hole right at the keyhole.
At that moment, Li Nan remarked, "Although this iron door is rusty and old, its design thickness is still five to six centimeters!"
Zhang Li, placing three fingers together in disbelief, exclaimed, "A five to six centimeter thick iron plate can be shaped like this!"
Clearly, Li Nan also noticed the strength of these Zombies, feeling a bit anxious about his reckless venture!
"The hallway here does not lead inside, so we cannot enter from this side!"
Li Nan's words resonated with Zhang Li, but the iron door could not be ignored. He shouted a few times and called down several engineers; he needed to reinforce this door to ensure that nothing inside could escape.
In the vertically descending elevator, Zhang Li and Li Nan were surrounded by a mix of expressions.
Police officer Han Guang drew his sidearm and carefully inspected it before putting it back at his waist. In his right hand, he held a cold weapon, a Fire Axe, which he had somehow obtained.
At that moment, the soldier behind Zhang Li joked, "This thing is too heavy. We have Bayonets in our team; using those would be much more convenient!"
Han Guang glanced at the Bayonet in the soldier's hand and thought to himself, "The Type 56 Triangular Bayonet must be quite effective!"
The Type 56 Triangular Bayonet was notorious for its lethality and was well-known internationally as a killing tool.
The soldier found it strange and asked his Company Commander, "How should we deploy in a bit?"
Zhang Li smiled and said, "Brother Li Nan has already outlined the route ahead. We will advance in a cross formation while letting those two stay behind!"
Although he had witnessed the power of those Zombies in the abandoned hallway, Zhang Li was still confident about dealing with three Zombies. At Beiyuan Square, he had only led some ordinary soldiers, which was somewhat challenging. However, things were different now; the twelve people behind him were all renowned members of the Wolf Fang Special Forces.
With a clang, the elevator reached the basement level. Under Zhang Li's command, the Wolf Fang Special Forces filed out in a cross formation.
Fortunately, the underground corridor was wide enough for all thirteen of them to line up.
Stepping out of the elevator, Zhang Li looked around and compared it with the terrain described by Li Nan earlier to confirm there were no issues before moving forward.
The underground structure ran north-south, and before the elevator entrance was a straight corridor. At the end of the corridor was a T-junction; to the left was Mortuary One, and to the right was the Drug Storage Room.
The corridor was brightly lit, with shadows of people cast on the walls on either side.
A stretch of over thirty meters of corridor took them five or six minutes to traverse. The Wolf Fang Team split into two groups, one to the left and one to the right, while Zhang Li walked in the middle, his expression showing no signs of relaxation.
This corridor was the only exit on the first underground level. If those three Zombies could punch through a five or six centimeter thick iron plate, they could easily escape through the front door. This was why Zhang Li was so cautious; he feared a direct confrontation with those three Zombies in this corridor.
Fortunately, what Zhang Li anticipated did not occur.
When they reached the T-Junction, Zhang Li signaled for a left turn.
This T-junction was not as spacious as the previous corridor, forcing the entire Wolf Fang Team to split into three groups and advance in sequence.
The underground structure of this hospital resembled two iron boxes arranged side by side, with some space left in between, which formed a wide corridor. The two T-junctions served as the latches for these iron boxes.
Thanks to the good lighting, they had already observed the iron door of Mortuary One, which eased their minds significantly and increased their pace.
When they were about three or four meters from the iron door, Zhang Li ordered them to stop and said, "Liu Ziming, your Submachine Gun has a scope; check if that iron door has been breached."
The Wolf Fang Soldiers were divided into three groups. In the first group, a young man held his Submachine Gun and focused intently on observing.
Since the position of the Morgue's iron door was parallel to the inner wall, it was difficult to see clearly from a direct angle. This was why Zhang Li made this request—to confirm whether those three Zombies had broken through the iron door.
After a moment, Liu Ziming gestured to Zhang Li, indicating that the iron door was intact.
Although everything seemed to be a false alarm for now, Zhang Li and the Wolf Fang Special Forces remained vigilant. They were soldiers, instruments of their country; every bit of caution they exercised could extend their lives by another second.
While the Morgue wasn't considered a critical area, Jiangbei Hospital had implemented good security measures. Not only did it require a key, but it also needed a password to gain entry.
At that moment, Li Nan stepped forward from behind everyone, took out a key from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and then entered a series of numbers on the touchpad beside it before the large door finally opened.
In fact, at a facility like Jiangbei Hospital, there were surveillance cameras everywhere. For instance, in this corridor leading to Mortuary One, there were two cameras. The surveillance footage showed that no one or nothing had escaped from Mortuary One in six hours. Of course, Li Nan and his team hadn't considered this at the time; otherwise, they wouldn't have wasted so much time in the corridor.
Although there are surveillance cameras in the corridor, there are none in the Morgue. After all, if such a supernatural place were equipped with cameras, who knows what kind of chaotic things would be seen.
The main entrance of Mortuary One is made of aluminum-titanium alloy, not the iron door they mentioned.
Aluminum-titanium alloy is extremely hard, several times stronger than ordinary steel, so this structure cannot be easily broken through by just anyone bumping into it.
Originally, the facilities at Jiangbei Hospital's Morgue were not this good. Later, a philanthropist donated to Jiangbei Hospital, and for some reason, they decided to use part of the funds to upgrade the Morgue's equipment. However, Li Nan knew that this door alone had probably been consumed by many.
As soon as the aluminum-titanium door opened, a wave of cold air rushed out. At that moment, Liu Ziming couldn't help but sneeze loudly.
Seeing this, Li Nan explained, "The temperature in Mortuary One is maintained at minus ten degrees Celsius year-round, while the temperature in the Second Morgue below is minus fifteen degrees."
Liu Ziming stood at the doorway and asked, "Why are the temperatures of the two Morgues different?"
"Because they serve different purposes. The bodies in Mortuary One are temporarily stored here because some need to be claimed by their families; whereas the bodies in the Second Morgue are those donated for research or need to undergo autopsy experiments. The minus fifteen degrees helps preserve human muscle and nerves from damage!"
Liu Ziming was confused and immediately said, "Since the door is already open, why don't we go in?"
Li Nan patiently explained, "Although the temperature inside is only minus ten degrees, the cold air can still freeze a person's skin. So we have to wait until it dissipates before we can enter."
Now Liu Ziming understood and held his Submachine Gun tightly, waiting for the cold air to clear!
Fifteen people stood at the entrance of Mortuary One, all armed. Even Han Guang held a Fire Axe across his palm. However, when the cold air dissipated, there was no scene of Zombies as everyone had imagined; instead, the entire Morgue was eerily quiet and desolate, with nothing inside.
