Looking at Li Nan's puzzled expression, Lin Hai asked, "What's wrong with that? Who is this Han Guang?"
Li Nan turned to look at the Rat, who appeared completely innocent and seemingly unaware of anything!
Li Nan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. That person was a friend of mine from before; I might have just remembered it wrong!" However, he frowned deeply, as his tangled thoughts could not be shared with anyone and had to remain bottled up inside.
"What on earth is going on?" Li Nan held the Compound Bow, feeling distracted!
Back at Jiangbei Hospital, Han Guang and Zhang Li were indeed real. How could it be that now Han Guang was not the Captain of Jiangbei Police Station? What was the issue? Did Han Guang deliberately conceal his identity? If so, why would he falsify his identity?
Lin Hai's words should be trustworthy. If that's the case, what was Han Guang trying to achieve by impersonating the Captain of Jiangbei Police Station? Could it be that there were other schemes at play back in Jiangbei Hospital?
For a moment, Li Nan's mind was in chaos, completely lacking any clues. At Jiangbei Hospital, he had fought alongside his brothers through thick and thin; inherently, he did not want to doubt Han Guang. But now, he had no choice but to question everything and doubt all that had happened at Jiangbei Hospital!
He glanced at the Rat, who looked focused as he observed the situation ahead, with his Submachine Gun already cocked!
After calming himself down a bit, Li Nan asked, "You mentioned before that your brother Zhang Hai saw a police officer hovering around near Jiangbei Hospital. Can you still confirm that?"
The Rat shook his head. "In this apocalypse, although we still have firearms in our hands, we're essentially not much different from primitive people; information is severely limited. My deceased brother said that before—who knows what's going on now?"
Li Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly. "It seems I've been deceived by this old Rat; he must have fabricated this information out of thin air. It just so happens to align with Han Guang—it's all just coincidence!"
Li Nan shook his head repeatedly and then turned to his brothers behind him, saying, "Be careful; it's not safe here!"
Just then, the Rat in front lowered his body and shouted, "Zombie!"
The Rat crouched behind a dust-covered Passat car and gestured to those behind him to indicate that the situation ahead was uncertain!
Li Nan removed the scope from his longbow and took cover behind the Passat car. He then poked half of his head out to look; about a hundred meters away, seven or eight Zombies suddenly appeared!
The seven or eight Zombies, all dressed in military gear, wearing green camouflage uniforms and steel helmets, were wandering the streets like lost souls.
Haozi whispered, "We should avoid engaging these Zombies and try to sneak past them."
Behind Li Nan, Bitter Melon maintained a stern expression, making it impossible for others to discern his thoughts.
Bitter Melon remarked, "I'm afraid the situation isn't looking good."
Upon hearing this, Li Nan scanned the area and noticed a small group of Zombies at the street corner to his left.
Li Nan and his companions were positioned at an intersection, only about one or two thousand meters away from the Jiangbei Hospital Building. At this moment, Zombies appeared at both street corners, making it unlikely for them to sneak by unnoticed.
Haozi clicked his tongue and asked, "Nan Ge, how's your archery?"
Li Nan understood Haozi's intentions and replied, "My archery is decent, but I'm not sure I can hit a target over a hundred meters away."
Previously, Li Nan had thought that Zombies relied on smell to perceive the world. However, he later realized that their hearing was still intact. Although they showed some signs of deafness, they could still hear loud noises like gunshots. To avoid attracting the attention of the Zombie Legion with gunfire, they had no choice but to use cold weapons for now.
Li Nan pulled out a long arrow from behind him and tentatively nocked it onto his Strong Bow. After taking aim, he said, "Let me give it a try!"
At that moment, Haozi had already sat down against a vehicle and looked up at the men behind him, saying, "Nan Ge's skills are perfect for this apocalyptic world!"
Li Nan snorted softly as he released the arrow. Although he aimed for the bridge of the Zombie's nose, a gust of wind interfered with its trajectory, causing it to hit the Zombie's chest instead.
It was clear that the Zombie had something hidden in its chest pocket; the arrow made a clattering sound as it fell to the ground without inflicting any damage on the Zombie.
Li Nan smiled wryly and said, "I missed!"
The Rat poked his head out and said, "It looks like we need to get closer!"
Li Nan waved his hand and replied, "If we go any further without making a sound, our scent will attract that group of Zombies. By then, the Zombie Legion that is holed up in front of the hospital will definitely catch wind of it. Our situation will be very awkward!"
The Rat nodded, "You're right, but I already have a plan!" He then turned to look at his off-road vehicle.
The Rat returned and pulled a small pig out of the trunk of the vehicle. He said to Li Nan and the others, "We'll use this thing to lure those dozen or so Zombies out, then we can sneak in and take back a tank while it's chaotic, and then we'll leave immediately!"
Li Nan stared at the Rat with a strange expression and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, let's do it your way!"
The Rat drew a dagger from his waist and made a shallow cut on the pig's belly, causing blood to flow out instantly.
The little pig squealed in pain, and the Rat quickly let go and slapped the pig on its rear end. The pig immediately bolted away!
"Alright! With this thing paving the way for us, it will save us a lot of trouble!" The Rat looked at the few Zombies a hundred meters away, who were indeed unable to resist the scent of pig's blood!
The dozen or so Zombies at the street corners all ran after the direction where the pig had fled. At that moment, the Rat pointed and said, "There’s a Commercial Building over there. Let's go up first and then cross over from the rooftop!"
With the Rat leading the way and Li Nan following behind, the group of five hurriedly crossed past a Passat and turned into the nearby Commercial Building.
The storefront was a Wedding Photography Studio, which was quite spacious and filled with various wedding dresses and mannequins. Li Nan looked around and said, "There's no danger here; let's continue upstairs!"
The upper floors were likely residential areas. Li Nan and his group didn’t search too thoroughly; they just confirmed there was no danger before heading straight up to the rooftop.
Since Jiangbei Hospital was located in a central urban area, buildings were particularly close together due to high land prices; there was only a small safe distance between them.
The Rat measured the distance between this building and the one in front of it and laughed, "It's only three meters; we can jump across in one step!"
Li Nan also laughed and said, "No problem with that!"
Although the Rat had a sneaky appearance, his skills were impressive. He jumped straight up and leaped over four meters, landing steadily on the opposite building.
Li Nan's physical abilities were also commendable; he took a big step and jumped over as well. The remaining few people easily followed suit.
However, Fatty hesitated and was the last to jump. Li Nan watched Fatty's wrinkled expression from across the way and joked, "Is there a problem? If you can't make it, I can throw you a rope to swing over!"
Fatty frowned and replied, "No problem! What’s there to worry about?"
Fatty took five or six steps back and then sprinted forward. His large belly bounced comically in the wind!
After a short run-up, Fatty spread his legs and attempted to vault over the railing at the edge of the rooftop. However, at that moment, one of his thick legs couldn't keep up, and he began to fall!
Fortunately, Fatty was surprisingly agile; he quickly twisted his waist and managed to jump again, landing on the rooftop of the opposite building.
Fatty had one foot on the railing while the other foot missed entirely, causing him to lean backward with nothing beneath him but a street more than forty meters below.
A cold sweat broke out on Fatty's forehead as he thought he might fall. Luckily, in that critical moment, Li Nan grabbed one of Fatty's arms, preventing disaster.
Fatty took a deep breath and said to Li Nan, "I owe you my life!"
Li Nan smiled wryly and replied, "You saved me once with a sniper rifle; now we're even!"
Fatty wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look down at the street below, which was in ruins with several Zombies wandering aimlessly.
Seeing this, the Rat chuckled and said, "I heard that Brother Fat is a capable subordinate of Brother Three. How did you almost get stopped by a three-meter gap?"
Fatty spat out a mouthful of saliva, "I'm a sniper, a strategic talent. Naturally, I'm a bit lacking in physical skills. What's so strange about that?"
Mouse nodded, while Li Nan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, "This Fatty sure knows how to talk!"
The journey continued, and after passing three or four buildings, Li Nan and the others finally saw the full view of Jiangbei Hospital. In front of the charred building, a line of military supplies was prominently displayed!
Dozens of dark green military trucks were parked across from the parking lot. Behind the trucks, there was also a row of tanks in formation, along with armored vehicles and command radar vehicles. However, these had already become historical relics; no one was driving them, and it wouldn't be long before they turned into scrap!
However, military vehicles are not like ordinary ones. It can be assumed that during the months of the apocalypse, they suffered no damage. This means that any one of those vehicles could be driven away at any time!
Mouse exclaimed with joy, "It's these things! If we can get them all back, wouldn't that be equivalent to having a modern army? Then..."
Before Mouse's smile could fully bloom, Li Nan poured cold water on him, saying, "What do you see next to us?"
To the left of Jiangbei Hospital Building stood rows of statue-like figures. But upon closer inspection, they were clearly part of the Zombie army!
Li Nan glanced at the building opposite Jiangbei Hospital and then turned to Mouse with a wry smile, "What do we do now? With that Zombie Legion around, it's going to be hard to take action!"
