Li Nan, with his hands bound behind him, had walked to the podium and was just one meter away from Liu Heping when he suddenly stopped. "I've come this far, so please let Mo Xiaohui go!"
Liu Heping looked up at the ceiling and smiled, "That was indeed my oversight, but at this moment, the Zombies have already gathered below. How do you expect me to let that woman go? Should I drop the rope or pull her up?"
Liu Heping raised his hand, revealing a small remote control. "Even if I pull Mo Xiaohui up, who will untie her? Me or you?"
Li Nan shouted angrily, "In this situation, do you still want to play tricks?"
"Not playing tricks; I'm just not going to kill that woman. As for what happens to her with those Zombies, that's up to her fate," Liu Heping said as he pressed a button on the remote control.
"Fuck you! You despicable coward!" Li Nan was agitated and rushed forward to grab the remote control. Meanwhile, Liu Heping remained calm; this was exactly the reaction he wanted—anger would make people lose their rationality.
Liu Heping had already pulled out a syringe filled with anesthetic from behind him, waiting for Li Nan to come crashing in.
Mo Xiaohui, hanging upside down, suddenly felt weightless and began to fall as if in free fall. At that moment, she truly prepared herself for death.
Liu Heping was ready with the anesthetic to deal with Li Nan, while Mo Xiaohui was about to become Zombie food. Just then, an explosion sounded from outside, and the entire Multifunctional Conference Hall shook violently as several chandeliers fell.
Liu Heping was startled. "What on earth is happening? Could it be..."
While Liu Heping hesitated, Li Nan had already lunged forward and knocked him to the ground.
With a thud, the remote control slipped from Liu Heping's hand and the anesthetic needle meant for Li Nan scattered elsewhere.
Li Nan barely regained his balance before diving toward the remote control. He pressed a button, causing Mo Xiaohui to suddenly stop.
As for the knot that Zhang Li had tied on Li Nan, it was merely a distraction; as long as force was applied at a specific point, the knot would come undone, and outsiders would not notice it at all, let alone Liu Heping, who couldn't see it at all.
Mo Xiaohui had no idea what was happening. Her head was already congested from being upside down, and after several shakes, she felt completely disoriented.
Liu Heping quickly got up, picked up the anesthesia needle beside him, and jabbed it into Li Nan's body.
The explosion did not affect the Zombie's actions; it continued to claw at the suspended Mo Xiaohui with insatiable desire. Just as Li Nan grabbed the Small Remote Control, he randomly pressed a button, only to find that this button still directed downward!
"No..." Li Nan shouted desperately. After doing so much, all he hoped for now was to save the disoriented Mo Xiaohui!
Mo Xiaohui also lamented her situation. Although her mind was in chaos, she could still discern basic directions; descending instead of ascending would definitely lead to disaster. "Oh, my beautiful appearance! I haven't even found my Prince Charming before meeting my end!"
In her final moments, Mo Xiaohui's feminine nature emerged. Fortunately, fate was not unkind to her, and Li Nan proved to be a reliable man. When he noticed that the direction of the rope's movement was wrong, he immediately switched to another button, and this time he got it right.
A Zombie leaped up from the ground and suddenly grabbed a handful of Mo Xiaohui's hair. However, in an instant, Mo Xiaohui reversed her ascent, losing only a handful of hair.
Mo Xiaohui didn't have time to feel pain; she saw a shadow approaching Li Nan from a distance, holding something in hand. "Be careful, Li Nan! That old guy Liu Heping..."
After going through so many ups and downs, Mo Xiaohui could no longer endure it. Before she could finish her warning, her body stiffened and she fainted.
Hearing Mo Xiaohui's warning jolted Li Nan awake. He immediately turned around and saw Liu Heping holding a syringe, lunging directly at him.
Li Nan instinctively extended his right hand to block Liu Heping's attack, but in response, the syringe had already plunged into his right arm.
Liu Heping's movements were swift. Upon hitting the target, he immediately pressed his thumb, injecting a full dose of anesthetic into Li Nan's body.
Li Nan felt a chill in his right arm but didn't dwell on it. He transformed his palm into a fist and swung it towards Liu Heping.
Just as he threw the punch, Li Nan felt dizzy, as if all his strength had drained away. "What did you inject me with?"
Seeing that Li Nan's punching speed had slowed down, Liu Heping laughed heartily. "Just anesthetic, as a doctor you should know that! But to deal with you, I added a little extra. This anesthetic can numb your nerves and muscles in no time. I know you're feeling very strong right now, but what does that matter? You'll still end up in my hands!"
Liu Heping picked up a metal wrench that had been placed on the podium and without hesitation, swung it directly at Li Nan's head.
With three loud clangs, blood began to seep from the corner of Li Nan's mouth.
Liu Heping spat and muttered, "I know this little injury won't kill you; it's just to vent some frustration!"
Li Nan grunted, blood oozing from his nostrils and ears, before collapsing to the ground.
Once Liu Heping confirmed that Li Nan was indeed incapacitated, he tossed aside the wrench and dragged the barely conscious Li Nan towards the front door. At that moment, Zhang Li and Han Guang had already rushed over.
Liu Heping turned around to see the group pursuing him and impatiently said, "A bunch of dead soldiers and dead cops really have some patience."
He pried the remote control from Li Nan's hand and pressed a button on its back. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the ventilation duct in the report hall, followed by a burst of Li Nan's blood through the air duct.
Liu Heping smiled, "I also stole this Li Nan from the blood bank; only you use it to save lives while I use it to take lives!"
Hidden in the ventilation ducts were hundreds of bags of Li Nan, which was Liu Heping's ultimate trump card. He dared to openly provoke Zhang Li and the rest of the Predators single-handedly because he had set this trap in advance. The bags of Li Nan placed in the ventilation ducts utilized a simple mechanical principle, allowing them to burst forth with the wind at the right moment, covering the entire audience area. As long as Zhang Li and his group were hit by Li Nan, they would become live targets for the Zombies. No matter how fierce they were, they could never withstand these Zombies!
Sure enough, as Zhang Li and his group rushed over, they were suddenly drenched in Li Nan. They were thrown into disarray, while nearby Zombies, already captivated by the scent of Mo Xiaohui, were drawn in and began to attack.
Zhang Li was at the forefront, extremely alarmed. They had no weapons to fight back with, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Zombies was tantamount to seeking their own demise.
Zhang Li shouted, "Run quickly! Chase that bastard!"
Liu Heping had already greased his feet and intended to make a quick escape. However, due to Li Nan's considerable weight, it was quite a struggle.
Reluctantly, Liu Heping had no choice but to carry Li Nan on his back and quicken his pace to flee. The explosion outside indicated that things were not looking good, so Liu Heping's caution kicked in; he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.
Back when he was in the Underground Morgue, Liu Heping had been terrified by Li Nan's monstrous strength. After escaping, he finally calmed down; his experiment was nearing success. Even if he couldn't control the Zombies, he could create a Zombie slaughter machine. More importantly, the fact that Li Nan had been infected with the Zombie Virus yet showed no signs of change was a significant point of interest for research. This was why he was determined to capture Li Nan at all costs!
The plan was already halfway successful; there was no room for error now. Liu Heping would not give up on Li Nan; even if it cost him his life, he would take Li Nan away.
However, it was clear that Liu Heping's physical condition was lacking; otherwise, at over fifty years old, he wouldn't be struggling against Mo Xiaohui. After just a few steps, Liu Heping was out of breath and exclaimed, "Oh no..."
Li Nan suddenly felt a jolt and vaguely sensed that he was on someone's back. Recalling past events, he opened his mouth without hesitation and bit down on the person's shoulder.
With one bite, he tore through skin and flesh, consuming nearly half a bowl's worth. Yet Li Nan was still unsatisfied; he wanted to eat this person right now.
Liu Heping cried out in pain and immediately threw Li Nan off him. "You bastard! How dare you bite me? I'll make you pay!"
Liu Heping was filled with rage, covering the bloodstains flowing from his shoulder, and kicked towards Li Nan. Li Nan's head instantly became a bloody mess, but Liu Heping was not in a good situation either, as he found his left foot firmly held by Li Nan, unable to pull it free despite his efforts. "It seems the dosage of the potion is still insufficient; how can there still be a reaction?"
Li Nan tightly gripped Liu Heping's calf and, with an almost hoarse voice, suddenly flipped Liu Heping onto the ground.
Liu Heping spat out a mouthful of blood and felt a surge of murderous intent, but it seemed that the situation was already beyond his control.
Behind them, a group of Zombies was attacking Zhang Li and others, and there seemed to be something unusual in the entire Multifunctional Conference Hall. Lying on the ground, Liu Heping sensed a whiff of smoke; his mind could no longer process what was happening. At that moment, two Zombies caught the scent of Liu Heping and Li Nan's blood and rushed over.
In truth, Liu Heping had no ability to control the Zombies; he had merely been exploiting their greed for fresh blood to manipulate them indirectly. Now, he had lost all confidence.
Seeing two Zombies charging towards him, Liu Heping could no longer care about Li Nan and immediately dashed out through the front door.
In a daze, Li Nan saw two figures approaching and thought they were Zhang Li and Han Guang. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Quick! Go save Mo Xiaohui!"
As soon as Li Nan's voice fell, the entire Multifunctional Conference Hall was instantly filled with smoke, and flames began to rise!
The Zombie gathered around Li Nan suddenly sensed the intense heat coming towards it. It went into a frenzy like a moth drawn to a flame, disregarding the fallen Li Nan and turned to flee instead!
