Old Tian held a baseball bat in both hands, a sly smile on his face as he muttered, "Since you have already been infected by the Zombie, why not make it easier for me? I can carry your corpse out later, and if we encounter any Zombies, you can be my bait. That way, I might have a chance to escape. Your sacrifice will bring me a chance at life!"
A sweet taste filled Li Nan's mouth as he felt that the blow had at least caused him a concussion. However, for the moment, he was still able to stay conscious!
Li Nan shouted angrily, "Are you really going to kill me just to escape?"
Old Tian chuckled, "Under normal circumstances, I would never do this. But now the situation is different; I have no choice. If the roles were reversed, I believe you would kill me to save yourself too. So aside from expressing my regret, there’s nothing more I can say!"
Li Nan felt resentment; how had he not seen the true nature of this ingrate before? Alas, it was too late for regrets!
Li Nan said helplessly, "I never wanted to harm you!"
Old Tian snorted, "I've been hiding in this blood bank for five or six hours. Do you know the fear and despair I've experienced? If there’s any chance of survival, I will do whatever it takes!"
As he spoke, Old Tian raised the baseball bat again, intending to give Li Nan a lesson.
Li Nan lay on the ground with his eyes closed, seemingly waiting for death to arrive. This scene felt familiar; back at Beiyuan Square, Li Nan had faced a similar situation, except then it was a Zombie attacking him, and now it was his long-time friend!
It's hard to paint a tiger without depicting its bones; one can know a person’s face but not their heart. This thought echoed in Li Nan's mind as he realized this was the second lesson of his life.
In moments of life and death, there are certainly no kind old men coming to the rescue. Thus, relying on others is less effective than relying on oneself—this was the first lesson Li Nan had learned.
Just as Old Tian was about to bring the bat down again, Li Nan suddenly opened his eyes wide and glared fiercely!
Old Tian was slightly surprised, but there was no hesitation in his swing!
"Since you've made up your mind to kill me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" Though Li Nan lay on the ground, his limbs remained agile. He suddenly lifted both feet and blocked the descending bat before twisting his body and flipping Old Tian over!
Caught off guard, Old Tian stumbled back on one leg and nearly fell over. Fortunately, the bat hit the ground just in time to support him.
Old Tian was surprised, "Impossible, I hit you with one blow, how can you still have the strength to resist?"
Li Nan stared at Old Tian and slowly stood up, "I know you are a Neurology doctor, you must be well aware of where the human brain is vulnerable and where it suffers the most damage. However, you have made a mistake in your judgment. I am no longer the original Li Nan. The man who would gasp for breath while carrying a water bucket in Jiangbei Hospital no longer exists!"
Old Tian was shocked, but he did not intend to give up. After steadying himself, he gathered his courage and strength; there was no turning back for him now!
Old Tian swung the baseball bat wildly and immediately struck at Li Nan.
With a "thud," the bat hit Li Nan's palm, and with a slight exertion, Li Nan rendered Old Tian, who was swinging the bat, completely immobile.
Old Tian was dumbfounded, "You are not Li Nan, how can you have such great strength!"
Li Nan pulled hard and yanked the bat away. With his hands empty, Old Tian was stunned; he never expected that his junior would become so formidable!
"All thanks to being infected by Zombie, so if you want to kill me, it's not that easy!" Li Nan clenched his fists and delivered a quick combination of punches, instantly giving Old Tian two black eyes!
These two punches did not satisfy Li Nan, so he quickly moved beside Old Tian, one hand pressing on his neck while the other pounded his chest, "Letting you think about killing me! Letting you kill me! Letting you kill..."
At that moment, Li Nan was truly furious. He had never imagined that he would be betrayed by his own friend so cruelly and viciously. If he had a gun in his hand at that moment, he would have shot Old Tian's head without hesitation, just like dealing with a Zombie!
His iron fists struck flesh as cleanly as a tank crushing stones!
After dozens of punches, Old Tian's body had gone limp in Li Nan's hands. Li Nan, feeling lost, shouted, "Are you dead? Don't lie to me again!"
Half a minute later, there was no more rise and fall in Old Tian's chest. Li Nan released his grip on his neck and found that Old Tian lay there like a dead worm, filthy and pitiful!
Looking at his blood-soaked right hand, Li Nan wept uncontrollably, "I killed someone, I killed someone!"
Li Nan did not know what he had done. In his rage, he was indeed a bit impulsive and reckless, but had he really done wrong by killing Old Tian?
Looking at the two bodies lying on the ground, Li Nan's feelings were particularly complicated. Wang Rui had been killed by Old Tian, and Old Tian had met his end at Li Nan's hands. The cycle of cause and effect was evident, but who would punish the consequences of Li Nan's actions?
Even if Old Tian had countless sins, Li Nan should not have taken a life, for in a society governed by law, no one has the right to take justice into their own hands. Yet in this situation, could one still apply such established principles to an individual?
Ultimately, Li Nan was unaware of how the outside world had changed. However, the duality within him was already clashing; he wanted to see Old Tian punished, yet he feared the reality that he had killed someone. This contradiction was truly tormenting!
After struggling for a long time, Li Nan finally came to terms with it. He had been infected by a Zombie and believed that in a few hours he would succumb to the disease. At that point, he would completely transform into a Zombie. Since that was already the worst outcome, why should he still feel remorse over a single life? Order no longer existed; only the strong could uphold so-called morality, and Li Nan had killed Old Tian out of a desire to defend that morality!
All bonds of friendship were gone, so all Li Nan saw were the two bodies on the ground—he felt neither psychological burden nor physiological concern.
Li Nan touched the back of his head, which was stained with blood. He had also suffered an attack to his head earlier; although it seemed there was no serious injury, Li Nan suspected that things were not good inside his head! Therefore, whether it was about to turn into a Zombie or whether his brain was already injured internally, he did not have much time left. He needed to hurry—not only to catch Liu Ziming but also to save himself!
Li Nan picked up the Baseball Bat that had fallen on the ground and began searching through his bag nearby. Fortunately, just when he was about to give up hope, he suddenly discovered two bags of blood at the far right end of the blood storage rack. The labels clearly read "Hr Negative Blood, 2000cc."
Li Nan was overjoyed; after searching for so long, he found exactly what he needed right behind him. Two bags of blood totaling 4000cc—enough to save Liu Ziming's life!
