Li Nan said to the right of Mortuary One, "That is a Medical Equipment Storage Room, and it contains the things we need!"
Han Guang listened without understanding the context and was unsure what Li Nan meant, but it seemed that there was a turning point in the situation, which should be true.
At that moment, Zhang Li followed Li Nan into the Medical Equipment Storage Room.
This storage room mainly housed medical equipment that had either fallen into disrepair or had been completely decommissioned. Zhang Li and the others followed Li Nan to the outer door of the Medical Equipment Storage Room.
It is worth mentioning that this storage room was quite different from Mortuary One; Mortuary One used a coded lock, while this storage room had just a regular wooden door.
Li Nan hunched over and said to Zhang Li, "I don't have the key for this door; you should do it!"
Zhang Li laughed, "No problem!" He then kicked the door, which immediately shattered into four or five pieces.
The storage room was pitch black, and as Li Nan leaned to one side of the doorway and felt around, light finally illuminated the interior.
Although the storage room was not small, it did not feel empty because it was densely packed with many items, some large ones covered with tarps.
Li Nan's face brightened as he said to everyone, "Over there against the wall, that's where the X-Ray Therapy Machine is stored. We need to get it out!"
Zhang Li looked in the direction Li Nan pointed and was amazed to see two machines about the size of pianos!
Li Nan chuckled, "I can't help much with my strength; I'm out of commission!"
Zhang Li understood what Li Nan meant. Although he couldn't recall the name of that large machine, he knew it could definitely help them out of their current predicament.
Several strong men rolled up their sleeves and moved the X-Ray Therapy Machine from all directions, shaking as they slowly maneuvered it.
Since the path for moving the X-Ray Therapy Machine had been cleared in advance, the process went smoothly. After about ten minutes, the massive machine was positioned right before the elevator shaft.
Li Nan examined the X-Ray Therapy Machine from all angles, showing a look of concern. To be honest, he had only seen this device before and had never operated it, so he felt a bit apprehensive. Although Li Nan didn't fully understand how to operate it, he was clear on its working principle: the X-Ray Therapy Machine used low-voltage current, which transformed into a high-voltage electric field under the influence of magnetic field pulses, generating X-rays between the positive and negative poles in that high-voltage electric field to examine patients. Now, however, Li Nan wanted to do the opposite; he didn't want X-rays but intended to use the high-voltage electric field to damage the structure of the Freight Elevator.
After pondering over the X-Ray Therapy Machine for a while, Li Nan said to those around him, "We need to dismantle half of this thing; otherwise, it won't work!"
Liu Ziming leaned close to Li Nan, worried that his friend might faint again from stress.
Upon hearing Li Nan's words, Liu Ziming asked, "How do we dismantle it?"
Li Nan wasn't sure how to dismantle it either; he just knew that the X-ray emission part at the front of this large machine had to be removed before he could proceed with his plan.
At that moment, Li Xiaofan stepped forward. "I don't understand the principles, but I'm definitely good at taking things apart!"
With the help of several brothers, Li Xiaofan used a Triangular Bayonet to dismantle the X-Ray Therapy Machine according to Li Nan's wishes.
Li Nan checked it again and confirmed that it met the requirements for generating a high-voltage electric field. He then said to everyone, "In a moment, I will activate this X-ray therapy device and aim it at the Freight Elevator in the shaft. By using the generated high-voltage electric field to shock the elevator's top cover, the metal will quickly lose its rigidity under high voltage. At that point, we just need to throw a Zombie corpse down into the shaft to break a hole in that elevator top cover, and everything will be fine!"
Zhang Li listened to Li Nan's words and was already deeply impressed. It is often said that heroes should be strong and robust; however, times have changed—wisdom is more valuable than strength!
Under Li Nan's arrangement, everyone moved away from the X-Ray Therapy Machine. Due to Li Nan's weakness, Liu Ziming volunteered for the activation task.
Li Xiaofan also turned back and pulled out a relatively intact Zombie corpse from Door 6, ready for immediate action.
Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.
Liu Ziming placed both hands on two buttons, waiting for Gao Fei's signal from behind. After calculating everything, Gao Fei finally shouted to Liu Ziming, "Go!"
To be honest, Li Nan wasn't very confident either. Once the X-ray generator at the front of the X-ray machine was dismantled, the machine lost its protection. The process of converting low-voltage current into a high-voltage electric field was also unstable, making Liu Ziming's situation extremely dangerous. High voltage electricity was no joke; it could lead to death without any warning.
Liu Ziming turned around and chuckled, "It's fine. A fortune teller told me when I was young that I have a strong fate; it's not that easy to die!"
Li Nan couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous underground. If I had known, I wouldn't have persuaded you all to come down!"
Zhang Li patted Li Nan on the shoulder, "This is our own choice. We are soldiers, and this is a battlefield; we have no reason to refuse!"
As they spoke, Liu Ziming had already pressed the activation buttons for the two X-Ray Therapy Machines under Li Nan's instructions.
With a crackling sound, sparks suddenly erupted from inside the X-Ray Therapy Machine like lightning in the dark night, illuminating everything. Some sparks fell into the elevator shaft while others shot into the air, immediately rising a cloud of black smoke from the burning.
"Liu Ziming..." Zhang Li shouted as he noticed something was wrong.
Li Xiaofan stopped Zhang Li, who wanted to rush over. "Company Commander, you can't go! We can't afford any more unnecessary sacrifices!"
Li Nan's heart sank when he saw arcs of electricity striking Liu Ziming directly.
"It should be enough! Quickly cut off the power to the X-Ray Therapy Machine!" Li Nan shouted, and Li Xiaofan immediately dashed to another spot and unplugged the machine.
The entire elevator shaft was filled with thick smoke, making it nearly impossible to see. However, Zhang Li rushed over first. Nearby, someone was carrying a Zombie corpse and aimed carefully before using their strength to throw it into the elevator shaft. With a thud, the Zombie fell straight onto the elevator base as if passing through a sheet of white paper.
It worked, Li Nan's method succeeded. When Zhang Li rushed to the X-Ray Therapy Machine and saw Liu Ziming already collapsed on the ground, tears could not be concealed in his eyes.
Li Nan also bent down and leaned closer.
Zhang Li wanted to embrace Liu Ziming's body but was stopped by Li Nan. "There might still be high voltage..."
Zhang Li's hands, half outstretched, did not pause as if he hadn't heard Li Nan's words at all. He gathered up the fallen Liu Ziming, filled with grief and anger.
In this scene, Li Nan was also moved; brotherly love is just like this!
Liu Ziming had been struck by high-voltage sparks, his body felt charred like black charcoal, and his clothes had already carbonized. Under Zhang Li's touch, they crumbled into powder.
Fortunately, the high voltage had dissipated, and Zhang Li did not experience any electric shock.
Li Nan felt a warmth in his eyes and turned his head away to avoid looking at Liu Ziming. Fifteen people had gone underground, and now only ten remained. The oppression and frustration in this isolated predicament erupted all at once.
At that moment, Han Guang approached, looking at Li Nan, who was gazing upward, then turned to Zhang Li, who was kneeling on the ground. "We need to look forward, not backward. Dying here might not be a bad thing; at least it means a complete body without being bitten by a Zombie. That's already a good outcome!"
Zhang Li remained silent, only tightening his grip around Liu Ziming's lifeless body.
Standing beside him, Han Guang sensed something was off and immediately said to Zhang Li, "It seems... it seems like Liu Ziming is okay; his fingers are still moving!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Li was astonished. Just then, Liu Ziming suddenly opened his mouth. "I wasn't electrocuted; I almost got choked to death by you!"
Zhang Li could hardly believe his eyes. How could someone struck by high-voltage arcs still have a chance of survival?
The human body is truly unfathomable; some people are struck by lightning and die on the spot, while others can endure multiple lightning strikes throughout their lives and remain unharmed. Clearly, at this moment, Liu Ziming belongs to the latter group.
This sudden joy following great sorrow left Zhang Li somewhat at a loss. After three seconds, Zhang Li confirmed that his Wolf Fang Soldier, Liu Ziming, was not dead, and he joyfully said, "Brother, surviving such a calamity means you will surely have good fortune ahead!"
Liu Ziming could only smile wryly and replied, "Having survived this time, I really should go buy a lottery ticket!"
Zhang Li set Liu Ziming down, but Li Nan's expression remained grim. Although Liu Ziming had not died for the time being, his overall condition was still concerning.
As the only medical personnel in the team, Li Nan conducted a thorough examination of Liu Ziming and discovered that eighty percent of his body had severe burns. This was just the most superficial symptom; it was uncertain whether the high-voltage electric field had damaged his internal organs. If it had, the situation would be even more serious.
Liu Ziming lay on the ground and chuckled, "It's nothing; these minor injuries are just part of life!"
Despite Liu Ziming's feigned nonchalance, Li Nan noticed that he was frowning deeply, with beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead, clearly enduring immense pain.
Extensive burns are undoubtedly the most agonizing type of injury. At this moment, Liu Ziming's left cheek was already as black as coal, with skin split open, leaving only half of his face looking relatively normal.
