Li Nan was at the front, followed closely by Zhang Li and Han Guang, while the remaining four maintained their positions on either side. The group of seven moved slowly out of the corridor.
They exited the corridor and turned left to ascend the stairs towards the eleventh floor.
The eleventh floor had a security door that required a card swipe to enter, but at this moment, there was no need for Li Nan to find a way in, as the door was wide open, seemingly welcoming Li Nan and the others.
Zhang Li raised his hand to signal those behind him to proceed slowly, and Li Nan did not dare to be careless. Only after Zhang Li confirmed that everything was safe did he step inside.
In fact, Li Nan had some understanding of Liu Heping's capabilities; after all, his previous identity was just that of a doctor. His strategic and tactical skills might not be particularly strong, but one could never be too cautious given past experiences!
Li Nan remained at the front because he was more familiar with Jiangbei Hospital. Once they entered through the security door, it suddenly closed behind them, as if they had fallen into a trap.
At that moment, a device resembling a loudspeaker on the wall emitted a hoarse voice: "Please lay down your weapons; otherwise, that woman will be in danger!"
"Don't come any closer! Please don't come any closer; it's dangerous here!" A sharp slap followed immediately after, and Li Nan's fists were already tightly clenched, filled with hatred towards Liu Heping.
There were surveillance cameras on both sides of the wall; Liu Heping was likely monitoring them from a screen at that moment.
Li Nan relaxed his clenched fists and said to Zhang Li, "Captain Zhang, for now, we still have to comply with Liu Heping's control; Mo Xiaohui is still in his hands!"
Zhang Li understood what Li Nan meant and was the first to throw his bayonet onto the ground. The others followed suit and drew their weapons as well.
Li Xiaofan and Haizi each carried a Liquid Nitrogen Tank. Due to the heavy load, their movements were somewhat sluggish. At this time, Zhang Li and Han Guang went over to help them, finally managing to set down the two tanks.
Zhang Li quickly made some adjustments to one of the Liquid Nitrogen Tanks. However, no matter how sharp Liu Heping's gaze was, he couldn't discern anything unusual on the surveillance screen.
"Good! Keep moving forward! I'll be waiting for you in the Academic Conference Hall!" Liu Heping pulled Mo Xiaohui up from a swivel chair and walked towards another conference hall.
After reaching the eleventh floor, Li Nan kept pondering how Liu Heping controlled the zombies. The strange occurrences on the ninth floor and those missing zombies made him wonder what methods Liu Heping used to command those walking dead!
Zhang Li wasn't as preoccupied; he was observing his surroundings. "Damn it! It's just an office space in Jiangbei Hospital, yet it's so luxurious!"
Indeed! The decor on the eleventh floor was on an entirely different level compared to the lower floors. It showcased European and American styles with murals of half-naked women and exquisite stickers. Even the corridor featured magnificent glass chandeliers. However, Zhang Li thought that such a flammable environment could work to their advantage!
After walking for two minutes, they reached a large room at the end of the corridor with a sign reading "Multifunctional Academic Conference Hall."
Li Nan stopped and said to the people behind him, "This is it!"
At this moment, there was no turning back for anyone. Regardless of whether they were heading into a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, they had to face it head-on and avenge their fallen brothers. All the blood debts with the Zombies had to be settled with Liu Heping.
Li Nan took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pushed open the door to the Multifunctional Conference Hall. Inside, the lights were bright, and nearly a hundred people were scattered among the chairs and tables that could accommodate a thousand.
Due to the tiered structure of the auditorium, the layout sloped from south to north, which facilitated the speaker's voice projection and helped the audience's line of sight. However, to Li Nan, this arrangement felt more like a provocation. Liu Heping stood straight at the podium, with lights shining down on him, seemingly declaring, "You will never escape my grasp!"
Li Nan found it amusing; although the momentum seemed that way, the actual outcome might not be as calculated!
Zhang Li and Han Guang entered as well. Compared to Li Nan's calm demeanor, these individuals were quite shocked! The sight of nearly a hundred Zombies gathered around the tables was indeed terrifying!
"Gurgle..." All the ragged Zombies sensed the presence of other Zombies behind them and turned their heads in anticipation!
At that moment, Liu Heping at the podium pressed a button on a small remote control, and instantly a rope fell from the ceiling, its end connected to Mo Xiaohui's panicked body!
Seeing this situation, Li Nan shouted, "Don't..."
Liu Heping on the podium smiled widely, "With this bait, these Zombies will be at my command!"
Sure enough, those Zombies who were about to turn around caught a whiff of fresh flesh right in front of them. They would not hesitate; they opened their arms and waved their hands, trying to grab Mo Xiaohui.
Unfortunately, Mo Xiaohui was lowered from a carefully calculated height—only half a foot away from the Zombies—but they still couldn't reach her. The sight left a group of mindless gluttons drooling.
Li Nan noticed a simple winch on the ceiling; Liu Heping was controlling it to manipulate Mo Xiaohui's distance from the ground.
Mo Xiaohui tightly shut her eyes, seemingly afraid to look at these horrifying Zombies. Yet she faintly sensed that Li Nan and others had come to rescue her. But was there still time for rescue?
Mo Xiaohui cried uncontrollably; although her eyes were tightly closed, tears flowed endlessly. "Li Nan, hurry up and leave! This man is insane; he won't keep his promises!"
At this moment, Liu Heping chuckled darkly. "I said I would use Li Nan to exchange for this woman. So, have you thought it through?"
As Liu Heping pressed the button on his Small Remote Control again, Mo Xiaohui slid down another distance from where she was tied.
"Ah..." Mo Xiaohui could already sense the disgusting stench of the surrounding Zombies, as well as the gusts of wind created by their flailing arms.
Li Nan shouted, "I'll trade! Use me to exchange for Mo Xiaohui. As long as I can guarantee her safety, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Liu Heping grinned, "Young people are full of love, hate, and responsibility. How come I never noticed your strong sense of heroism before, Li Nan?"
Li Nan gritted his teeth, "Please stop! Don't hurt Mo Xiaohui!"
Liu Heping loosened his grip, and Mo Xiaohui suddenly stopped falling. The nearest Zombie was only 0.01 centimeters away from her, and that distance had driven nearly a hundred Zombies into a frenzy!
All the Zombies surrounded Mo Xiaohui, forming a small mountain. Some Zombies stood on the backs of others, increasing their height, making Mo Xiaohui's living form seem almost within reach.
Mo Xiaohui was terrified; she feared these Walking Dead, yet at this moment, she was so close to them that it felt like she was about to become their meal!
She wanted to escape this predicament but felt powerless, forced to rely on a group of men she had known for less than twelve hours to fight for her. In that moment of despair, Mo Xiaohui almost decided to give up struggling and just fall into the pile of Zombies!
Mo Xiaohui opened her eyes and saw a Zombie leaping towards her from atop the others. Its grotesque face and ravenous madness made her want to cry without tears!
Two bloodied hands had already grabbed her shoulders, and a drooling mouth came closer. Unfortunately, the radio host from Jiangbei City was about to meet her end in the mouth of a Zombie!
A sound of sliding chains echoed just as Mo Xiaohui thought she was doomed; the ropes binding her suddenly tightened and pulled her upward!
Her body experienced uneven force for a moment, causing her head to drop downwards in an upside-down position. Fortunately, she had evaded the Zombie's attack!
Standing at the podium, Liu Heping continued to smile, "It seems your time is running out. Please consider quickly!"
"What can I do to exchange for Mo Xiaohui?"
Liu Heping looked at the frenzied Zombies with amusement. "It's simple: kill everyone else around you, and I will release this woman!"
Li Nan was furious. "That's impossible!"
Zhang Li and Han Guang behind him shouted in unison, "To exchange one life for Mo Xiaohui's among our six is too optimistic! If it weren't for Li Nan's insistence, we would rather fight you to the death!"
“Ha ha ha!” Liu Heping exclaimed, “Do you really think you can escape unscathed? With so many Zombies here, by the time you reach me, you’ll probably be torn to pieces!”
Li Nan stopped everyone, “If you let me exchange myself for Mo Xiaohui, I will walk over now. Please put Mo Xiaohui down and safely hand her over to Captain Zhang Li. I guarantee they won’t pursue this any further!”
Liu Heping hesitated for a moment. He observed Zhang Li and the others, noticing that they were indeed unarmed. Without their hunting rifles, they were less than beasts, so Liu Heping felt confident he could manipulate this group at will.
“Alright! I agree. As long as you come over with your hands bound, I will let this woman go!”
Li Nan had no leverage to negotiate further with Liu Heping’s demand. He tore off a sleeve from his coat and tied it around his wrists, finally having Zhang Li secure it with a military knot.
Standing on the podium, Liu Heping couldn’t see clearly, but that didn’t matter anymore. As long as Li Nan approached him, he would inject him with a sedative, ensuring that by then Li Nan wouldn’t even recognize his own father!
With his hands bound behind him, Li Nan carefully walked toward the podium. There was still some distance to cover, separated by several rows of audience tables and nearly a hundred Zombies in between, so he had to be cautious.
Fortunately, those Zombies were already attracted to the sweet and juicy Mo Xiaohui and paid no attention to Li Nan. Thus, although he took careful steps, he encountered no danger.
Zhang Li and the others in the southern part of the Multifunctional Conference Hall secretly wiped their brows; the outcome might hinge on this very moment!
