The man opened his mouth wide and laughed wildly, as if at that moment, the best outcome for him was to die quickly. He no longer spoke, only laughed heartily, completely ignoring Li Nan's words.
Seeing this, Li Nan shook his head and directly drew the Mountain Cleaver from behind him, causing a round head to roll onto the ground!
Fatty, witnessing Li Nan's swift action, said, "I haven't finished asking yet. Is that rat alive or dead? And why didn't that Gorilla chase after us? If this person dies, won't it all become a mystery?"
Li Nan waved his hand and replied, "There's nothing more to ask from this man. Let's give him a quick end!"
Fatty shook his head in disagreement. "We finally caught a live one. But even if that rat survives, he won't have the power to stir up trouble anymore!"
Holding the Cleaver in his hand, Li Nan said, "Regardless of the rat's situation, we need to find a way out first!"
Fatty replied in disbelief, "But our mission isn't complete yet! We haven't found that High-Strength Titanium Alloy Metal!"
"No matter how precious it is, it's not worth more than the lives of our brothers. The situation in this High-Tech Park is extremely strange; who knows if there are other Big-Headed Flies around? We can't take any more risks; we need to escape quickly!"
Fatty nodded and pointed out, "Back at the building where we first separated, there's an armored vehicle over there. But outside this High-Tech Park, there are still over a hundred Humanoid Withered Woods. Getting out won't be easy!"
Li Nan kicked away the head that had fallen at his feet and said to those behind him, "No matter how difficult it is, we have to try. Even if the King of Horses blocks our way, we'll pry out his third eye!"
Fatty raised his hand and declared, "Got it! Brother Nan is mighty and powerful; I, Fatty, am willing to follow you!"
Li Nan muttered under his breath, "Stop joking around; let's move quickly!"
Fatty chuckled and called for Lin Hai and Li Dapeng to keep up with Brother Nan's pace. Li Dapeng stepped forward to the head without fear and kicked it hard like a soccer ball, sending it flying far away.
In this apocalypse, human life was the least valuable thing. Those capable of surviving worried about food and drink; those who couldn't survive had long become corpses or Zombies. Indifference and twisted psychology were common; such things didn't need Li Nan to teach—Li Dapeng had already learned them on his own!
The weak had no right to live; this was an era belonging to the strong. A man must be flesh and blood with strength to be considered qualified. What kind of person one could become depended entirely on their own decisions. At this moment, Li Dapeng was no longer the boy who would easily get angry; he was just one step away from becoming a true man—just one step away from killing!
Once, Jin Yong asked in his writings: which hero has never killed? Indeed, in this world, there is no one whose hands are not stained with blood. Therefore, judging a person's goodness or evil based on whether they have blood on their hands is superficial. Li Dapeng did not think there was anything wrong with Li Nan killing that man; those beneficial to him should be kept alive while those harmful should be eliminated—this was simply basic arithmetic!
*******************************
Li Nan walked ahead. Although all the Big-Headed Flies had been eliminated, he did not dare to relax; he remained highly vigilant, fearing any further trouble might arise.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and Li Nan thought that even if there were any Big-Headed Flies in the High-Tech Park, they wouldn't be active at this time. These creatures had mutated from ordinary flies and still retained their original habits. According to his elementary school biology knowledge, he knew that noon was when the sunlight was strongest, but it wasn't the time when flies were most active.
Despite this expectation, Li Nan did not relax his grip on the Cleaver he had obtained, keeping a vigilant watch around him.
Fortunately, there were no incidents along the way, and after about ten minutes, they returned to the building where they had initially parted ways.
Fatty was overjoyed to see the armored vehicle. "Quick, get in! Maybe with the speed of the vehicle, we can shake off those Humanoid Withered Woods outside!"
Li Nan nodded and immediately got into the vehicle.
Once inside, Li Nan noticed a Heavy Machine Gun mounted at the back and said in surprise, "With this thing here, what do we have to fear from those Humanoid Withered Woods?"
Fatty grimaced. "Not many bullets left; it's not even as good as a fire stick!"
Lin Hai took A Fei from Fatty's back and placed him in the back seat. Shortly after, Li Dapeng also jumped into the vehicle.
Fatty sat in the driver's seat and pressed down on the accelerator, causing the vehicle to lurch forward.
Li Nan sat in the passenger seat and asked Fatty, "Those Humanoid Withered Woods came out from that plant garden next door, right?"
Fatty nodded. "Li Dapeng and I were dragged into that plant garden and barely made it out. I suspect there were originally some carnivorous plants in there that somehow consumed a Zombie and mutated. Those Humanoid Withered Woods are probably branches derived from that thing, specifically coming out to find food!"
Upon hearing this, Li Nan's thoughts began to form. "So those Humanoid Withered Woods are connected to the main body in the plant garden. If we cut off their connection, they would be no different from ordinary firewood. We can start from here!"
Fatty laughed. "Brother Nan is sharp; you spotted the key point right away!"
Li Nan waved his hand dismissively. "Stop flattering me; just drive your car!"
Suddenly, Li Dapeng in the back seat spoke up. "Your last name is Wang, right? What's your full name?"
Fatty grinned. "Kid, can you not speak so directly? Your Fat Uncle's last name is Wang, but it's not Wang Ba!"
Li Dapeng smiled back while Lin Hai chimed in, "What's your real name?"
Fatty smacked his lips and said, "You guys really are something. What does my name matter? We're not great heroes who need our names carved in stone for future generations to admire!"
Once they entered the High-Tech Park, danger lurked everywhere, and everyone's nerves were on edge. It was rare to have a moment of relaxation, and Li Nan couldn't help but joke, "You wouldn't be named something like Wang Gousheng or Wang Erdan, would you?"
"Come on! Who would name themselves Wang Gousheng or Wang Erdan? My name is Wang Kaixuan. Isn't that a powerful name?" Fatty grinned and said, "I had a master look at it; it's a name blessed with great fortune and a long life!"
Lin Hai teased, "The master who calculated that for you is probably long gone, eaten to bits by zombies. How can you trust his words?"
Fatty rolled his eyes. "If your heart isn't sincere, things won't work out. How can people like you, who lack even a bit of reverence, dare to be with me?"
Fatty became serious but remained humorous, causing the others in the vehicle to chuckle. Li Nan added, "Kaixuan is a good name; I hope we really can return victorious this time!"
After five or six minutes of driving, they arrived at the entrance of the High-Tech Park. It was here that Fatty and Li Dapeng had previously battled fiercely against the Humanoid Withered Wood. Those creatures had retreated in fear of Li Dapeng's Heavy Machine Gun. However, Fatty felt a bit uneasy; he wondered if the Humanoid Withered Wood had been deterred by the Heavy Machine Gun's power or if they were wary of the Big-Headed Flies in the High-Tech Park. If it was the latter, then with all the Big-Headed Flies dead now, would the Humanoid Withered Wood run wild?
Fatty voiced his concerns, but Li Nan dismissed them. "What's done is done; who cares? We've already crossed paths with them; there's no need to hold back!"
Fatty clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Nan is bold! Why don't we take out the Humanoid Withered Wood's lair while we're at it? That way, they won't cause trouble again!"
Li Nan retorted angrily, "You think you're tough just because you're fat? We're not equipped for that; we're just trying to escape! Where do you get such confidence?"
Fatty forced a smile. "I'm just bantering with you; I picked that up from your earlier bravado. Isn't that what you meant?"
Li Nan was taken aback. "Really?"
Fatty nodded vigorously while Li Nan laughed heartily. "I was boosting morale; you're blindly estimating the enemy's strength—totally different!"
Fatty thought to himself, "How is it different? It sounds the same to me!"
As they spoke, the armored vehicle had already exited the gates of the High-Tech Park, but Fatty didn't see any Humanoid Withered Wood outside.
Seeing this, Li Nan shouted, "Since there are no enemies right now, let's hurry up and drive away! A Fei's situation isn't looking good either; we need to get back to camp quickly to provide assistance!"
Fatty pressed down hard on the accelerator, and the armored vehicle surged forward. However, after traveling about a hundred meters, its speed began to drop. Li Nan asked, "What's going on? Are we out of fuel?"
Li Nan stared at the dashboard of the vehicle, "Impossible, I've already modified the fuel tank, there's enough fuel. Why does it feel like this car hasn't had enough to eat!"
Li Nan leaned out of the vehicle but didn't see any sign of the Humanoid Withered Wood. However, Fatty was unable to drive the armored vehicle any further!
The engine roared, and beads of cold sweat had already formed on Fatty's forehead. The performance of military vehicles was unquestionable; if it wasn't a problem with the vehicle, then something must be causing the issue!
Fatty shouted, "Something is pulling this vehicle from behind, it's the Humanoid Withered Wood!"
Li Nan immediately pushed open the door and jumped out, holding a Cleaver in hand. He quickly made his way to the rear of the vehicle and saw several vine-like plants, as thick as arms, wrapped around the back bumper of the armored car!
Seeing this, Li Nan swiftly swung his knife and cut through the vines. However, what happened next surprised him greatly.
The severed vines seemed to have a life of their own, writhing left and right as if in great pain.
At that moment, Li Nan shouted dramatically, "Monster, take this blade from me!"
