Exhausted, Li Nan used all his strength and, with the help of Mighty Bull's pulling force, managed to move for over a minute before finally climbing up. Below him, the Gorilla, whose lower body was crushed by the fallen Tank Truck, roared angrily with its toothless mouth wide open.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong the Gorilla was, it could not push the gasoline-soaked Tank Truck, and its body was already drenched in leaking gasoline.
Standing at the edge of the Pit, Mighty Bull exerted his last bit of strength and pulled Li Nan up. In an instant, Li Nan felt his body sink and collapsed onto the ground.
Seeing Li Nan's unusual state, the bloodied Mighty Bull immediately dropped the Nylon Rope he was holding and rushed over, exclaiming, "Brother Nan, are you okay?"
Li Nan lay on the ground, his body covered in wounds; his clothes were tattered like a beggar's, torn by the Gorilla's claws and stained with bright red blood. However, he had no actual injuries on him.
What Mighty Bull saw were merely Li Nan's healed wounds; although they had already closed up, the previous injuries were very real!
As Mighty Bull approached, Li Nan suddenly lifted his head and forced a smile, saying, "I'm not dead yet; there's no need to mourn for me in advance!"
Hearing Li Nan speak, Mighty Bull scratched his head with one hand. "I was worried..."
Li Nan propped himself up with his hands and crossed his legs to stand up unsteadily.
Noticing that Mighty Bull was covered in blood, Li Nan gently asked, "Are you alright?"
Mighty Bull wiped his face with one hand, smudging the blood further. "Earlier, I was thrown out by Long-Haired Big Monkey's tail. I happened to see a Tank Truck parked outside the camp and climbed over without thinking to help you out. That Nylon Rope was also found on the Tank Truck!"
Li Nan smiled wryly; despite how casually Mighty Bull spoke about it, what he did was definitely not easy. Li Nan had been struggling with the Gorilla for over half an hour beneath the Pit while Mighty Bull barely managed to bring the Tank Truck over during that time. It was clear that his injuries were far from what he claimed!
Li Nan turned around and peered into the Pit. He saw that nearly a hundred-ton Tank Truck had landed squarely on the Gorilla's left leg, trapping it.
The Gorilla looked pained as it swung its arms and suddenly slammed against the Tank Truck. The fuel tank couldn't withstand the force and exploded instantly, sending hundreds of tons of gasoline spraying everywhere like a waterfall!
The Gorilla had once crawled out from the ruins of a collapsed building and figured that this Tank Truck wouldn't hold it for long. To end this once and for all, it needed to come up with another plan!
At that moment, Li Nan saw the gasoline spilling out and immediately felt a rush of excitement. He then asked Mighty Bull beside him, "Do you have any fire?"
Mighty Bull did not understand Li Nan's intention and replied, "No, my clothes are already in tatters. Even if I had some, I would have thrown it away long ago!"
Li Nan turned around but couldn't find a lighter or anything similar. However, he gestured backward and managed to touch the Desert Eagle.
With the gun in hand, Li Nan smiled and said, "This gun only has one bullet left. I originally intended to save it for Liu Long, but it looks like I'm using it on you instead. Brother Kong, I'm not being stingy with you!"
As he spoke, Li Nan raised his hand and fired a shot. The bullet hit the Tank Truck directly. Upon impact, sparks flew from the vehicle, and when the flames met the gasoline, they ignited into a raging inferno that engulfed the entire Pit!
Li Nan waved his hand and said, "No need to see you off, brother!"
Inside the Pit, the Gorilla trapped beneath the Tank Truck wore a look of sheer terror as the flames erupted above it. It couldn't escape or dodge in time!
The Gorilla's long fur caught fire instantly, spreading rapidly and consuming the entire Pit.
Just a second ago, the once-mighty Gorilla was transformed into a flaming monkey!
"Ugh... ugh..." The immobilized Gorilla let out a mournful cry as it was engulfed by the sea of flames!
With nearly a hundred tons of gasoline combined with the oil from the Zombie corpses in the Pit, there was no way for the Gorilla to survive; its fate was sealed—it would be burned to ashes!
The flames heated up the surrounding air, and Li Nan could already feel a wave of scorching heat approaching him. He turned around and said, "Let's go; it's already a dead end for it!"
Seeing that the Gorilla was dead, Mighty Bull, who had been standing tall, suddenly collapsed to the ground and began to mumble incoherently.
Li Nan quickly rushed to Mighty Bull's side and checked him over. He had both external and internal injuries that were quite serious. If he were an ordinary person, he would have fainted long ago; it was only because Mighty Bull was determined to avenge Scar that he had managed to hold on this far!
Exhausted, Li Nan truly could not bear the burden of Mighty Bull any longer. With the situation in the camp still uncertain, he had to hurry back.
Mighty Bull also understood that the situation in the camp was dire. He whimpered, "Brother Nan, hurry back! I'm tough as old leather; I won't die easily!"
Li Nan's eyes grew moist as he said, "I'll first place you in a higher position. Once the situation in the camp is resolved, I'll come back for you!"
Mighty Bull nodded and let out a faint "mm" sound before closing his eyes and fainting.
Li Nan checked Mighty Bull's vital signs. Although his injuries were severe, he was not at death's door; he could last another day or two.
After placing Mighty Bull by the roadside a dozen meters away from the Pit, Li Nan whispered, "Take care, brother!" and then turned to head straight for the camp.
Just as Li Nan turned to leave, a figure suddenly appeared near the edge of the blazing Pit, muttering, "Damn it, can't I kill you like this!"
************************
Li Nan hurried towards the camp. As he approached, he could already hear the intense gunfire from within.
Not daring to relax, Li Nan quickly drew his Mechanical Composite Longbow from his back and nocked a Feathered Arrow as he stepped closer.
At that moment, Li Nan noticed how those three monsters had silently infiltrated the camp. He saw several mounds on the ground outside the camp, indicating that the three monsters had burrowed underground to enter; no wonder others had difficulty noticing them.
Rats can dig holes, and so can rabbits. It seemed that a nest of Mouse Rabbits would be quite troublesome to deal with.
The camp was in shambles, with several Mouse Holes scattered across the ground. However, in an instant, Li Nan sensed something strange about the situation.
Behind the camp's main gate was a sizable buffer zone designed to fend off Zombies, but now it had been turned into freshly plowed earth.
Li Nan noticed a patch of land in the northeast corner that appeared to be quicksand. Based on the situation at the scene, Fatty and the others must have had a fierce battle with the monsters, but the outcome was still uncertain.
Just as Li Nan was beginning to suspect something, gunfire rang out again, and this time he clearly heard that the source was coming from his small buildings.
Thinking that Mo Xiaohui and Li Dapeng might be in danger, Li Nan immediately felt a surge of adrenaline and ran towards them.
Li Nan's small buildings could now be more accurately described as a dilapidated structure. The original four-story apartment building had its roof torn off, and bullet holes were scattered across the walls inside and out.
As Li Nan approached the small buildings, a voice shouted, "Quick, get Sister Mo and these two women out of here! If anything happens to them, how will I explain it to Brother Nan!"
Li Nan raised his mechanical composite longbow and instead of using the front entrance, he circled around to the back of the building. He punched through a window and jumped inside.
The lobby on the first floor was already in disarray. Seeing no one around, Li Nan didn't linger and headed straight upstairs. Just as he was about to leap onto the staircase, someone suddenly rushed down from above.
Instinctively, Li Nan raised his compound bow, intending to seize the initiative. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the person in front of him was Lingdang'er.
Lingdang'er saw Li Nan and immediately exclaimed with joy, "It's Brother Nan! It's Brother Nan!"
Behind Lingdang'er stood a woman—Mo Xiaohui.
Hearing Lingdang'er’s words, Mo Xiaohui leaned forward with tear-filled eyes.
Li Nan leaned in closer and then noticed that Lin Hai was also stuck in the staircase.
Not bothering to communicate further with Mo Xiaohui, Li Nan immediately asked Lin Hai, "What happened here?"
Lin Hai replied dumbfoundedly, "A long-haired rabbit got into this small building. But I had already moved Sister Mo and the others to safety. I didn't expect Sister Mo and Lingdang'er to insist on coming back to help. Just now, Fatty scolded me thoroughly for it; I was about to take them to a safe place."
Li Nan did not say much and directly asked, "How are the people in the camp?"
Lin Hai continued to explain, "Most of the civilians have been relocated, so there is no immediate danger!"
Only then did Li Nan nod in relief, "Send them both out; we don't need women right now!"
Lin Hai agreed and said, "Sister Mo, I will escort you out!"
At this moment, Lingdang'er spoke up, "Both Sister Mo and I are trained individuals. If we don't contribute now, when will we?"
Li Nan dismissed her concern, saying, "With men around, we don't need women. There will be opportunities for you to shine later, just not now!"
Li Nan then wrapped his arm around Mo Xiaohui's shoulder and changed the subject, saying, "Take good care of Li Da Peng and yourself. Don't let me worry!"
At that moment, Mo Xiaohui wished she could bury her head in Li Nan's chest, but she couldn't; the camp was facing unprecedented danger, and she couldn't hinder her man's important tasks.
Mo Xiaohui softly said, "Be careful, be careful!"
Li Nan understood and immediately patted Lin Hai on the shoulder, saying, "You must ensure their safety along with the civilians. The camp can be rebuilt if it's lost, but if people are gone, we will truly have nothing!"
