Li Nan stood atop a pile of corpses, raising the Black Gold Blade high, exuding an aura of dominance. Seeing this, Fatty was momentarily dazed and muttered, "Is this what they call overwhelming presence?"
A Fei shouted angrily, "Fatty, stop standing around and get to work!"
Startled by A Fei's shout, Fatty snapped back to reality and immediately resumed firing bullets. Each bullet struck the Zombies squarely in the forehead, causing chaos as bullets flew and Zombie heads exploded.
Having been bullied by those strange creatures and nearly run over by a tank-driving rat, Li Nan had long been seething with anger. Now that he encountered this large group of Zombies, if he didn't unleash his fury now, when would he?
With a loud roar, Li Nan vented all the humiliation they had suffered at the camp today. He then leaped down, wielding the Black Gold Blade as he slaughtered the Zombies like chopping vegetables.
A Fei was equally fierce, showcasing his impressive grappling skills. Eventually, when his Submachine Gun jammed, he discarded it and fought the Zombies hand-to-hand.
It’s hard to say just how great human potential can be; however, Fatty and A Fei were getting stronger and more ferocious with each battle. Even if they were facing not just a tide of Zombies but a regular Marine Corps, they likely wouldn’t lose!
The three men were utterly consumed by bloodlust. Whenever a Zombie approached, they struck hard without giving them any chance to retaliate.
After about five or six minutes, the entire clearing was littered with Zombie corpses, blood and rotten flesh everywhere.
Li Nan leaned the Black Gold Blade against the ground; beside him, Fatty held his Submachine Gun with one hand, drenched in Zombie blood; next to them, A Fei brandished two Zombie thigh bones like a chef preparing human barbecue!
The three men stood there, bloodied and fierce-eyed, while a remaining twenty or so Zombies hesitated in front of them. At that moment, it was clear that they were the ones in power while Li Nan and his companions were the ruthless aggressors.
Just then, behind Li Nan and the others came a rustling sound. The leader called out, "Brother Nan, are you guys okay?"
Fatty shifted his position and suddenly spotted Lin Hai. He exclaimed joyfully, "Finally! We thought we were going to be left for dead!"
Seeing the scene before him, Lin Hai wiped his sweat and said, "We arrived late; please forgive us, Brother Nan!"
Li Nan raised his hand upon seeing them and called out to those behind him, "Come help me; I think I pulled my back!"
Lin Hai stifled a laugh as he rushed to support Li Nan. Li Nan groaned in response, "Damn it! I almost worked myself to death!"
Lin Hai nodded in agreement, while nearby, Fatty bitterly complained, "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to collapse!"
Lin Hai reached out to support Fatty, but at that moment, A Fei swayed and was about to fall.
Lin Hai frowned, "What on earth happened? Is it really that exhausting?"
Fatty exclaimed loudly, "We're just being reckless. With so many Zombies in front of us, do we have any reason not to fight hard?"
Lin Hai looked over and saw two or three dozen Zombies standing across from them, their combat strength seeming quite formidable. Fatty then coughed and said, "Watch your step; are you daydreaming?"
Lin Hai chuckled; how could he possibly miss the hundreds of Zombie corpses lying on the ground? He immediately gave a thumbs up to Li Nan and the others, praising, "Impressive! Fierce! Awesome!"
Lin Hai then waved to the ten brothers behind him, saying, "Take care of them all; try not to use guns. Bullets are scarce now!"
The ten brothers obeyed and charged in with machetes, swiftly dispatching the enemies with ease.
These trained fighters were far stronger than the Zombies, and they showed no fear in close combat. Once they got into position, cutting down the Zombies was as simple as chopping vegetables.
In a short while, all the Zombies had been dealt with. Lin Hai leaned close to Li Nan's ear and said, "I'll help you back!"
Li Nan was extremely exhausted now, unable to even hold onto the Black Gold Minghong Blade. Lin Hai wisely took the Black Gold Blade from Nan Ge's hand. However, once he held it, he found it incredibly heavy and couldn't help but think, "Nan Ge is indeed not an ordinary person!"
Fatty and A Fei were also supported back by others as the group of fourteen slowly returned to camp.
Behind them, blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain—a terrifying sight that showed just how fierce Li Nan and the others had fought!
Fatty smiled wryly and said, "That was really satisfying! If I could fight like that every day, I'd die without regrets!"
Li Nan half-opened his eyes and softly replied, "If there's another fight like that, you really will be done for!"
Fatty grinned but then his expression faltered because he couldn't laugh anymore. "Damn it, I really can't handle this!"
Fatty has new injuries, A Fei has old wounds, and Li Nan has been through several fierce battles. The power these three can unleash is already at the cost of their lives, but for the sake of the camp, they are willing to go all out!
While on the road, Li Nan asked Lin Hai, "How is the situation at the camp?"
Lin Hai replied, "Everything is under control. The casualties and material losses have been tallied. Additionally, the Wall around the camp has been temporarily repaired. I believe we will safely get through tonight without any issues!"
Hearing this, Li Nan nodded and said, "As long as it's under control for now, that's good enough!"
After about ten minutes, Li Nan and his group returned to the camp, and night had already fallen. The moon was bright but the stars were sparse, creating a rather bleak atmosphere.
The Wall surrounding the camp had been shattered by rats using tanks. Fortunately, the basic structure remained intact; with some logs used for cover, it could still provide some defense against intrusions. At the entrance, they had used an Army Tank as a makeshift gate; just placing it there created a small wall. When Li Nan saw this, he nodded and said, "Bitter Melon did well. With him here, I feel much safer about this camp!"
Once inside the camp, a temporary area had been cleared among the ruins where dozens of military green tents were set up.
Lin Hai explained, "These are supplies we managed to salvage. All buildings have been destroyed for now; it's better to stay in tents!"
Li Nan nodded and then asked, "Have Qin Old Man and the others been arranged?"
"They've been arranged; they're all staying in tents. Fortunately, there are enough tents!"
A smile appeared on Li Nan's face as Lin Hai helped him into one of the tents, which was completely empty—there wasn't even a blanket.
Lin Hai awkwardly said, "The other supplies are still buried under the ruins. Brother Nan will have to make do tonight!"
The tent was taller than a person but only about one square meter inside; Lin Hai found it difficult to enter.
Li Nan waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Also, you should take it easy tonight. Take a few brothers and keep moving around; make sure no Zombie gets a chance to slip through!"
Lin Hai nodded and immediately left.
Crouched in the small tent, Li Nan was lost in thought when suddenly Bitter Melon rushed over.
Li Nan opened the outer flap of the tent and saw Bitter Melon, greeting him, "Come in and sit!"
Bitter Melon smiled awkwardly; the small space inside was unlikely to accommodate both of them.
Noticing this, Li Nan disregarded the intense pain and fatigue in his body, stepped out, and sat down on a concrete block. He then waved for Bitter Melon to join him.
The two men sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling quite melancholic.
Bitter Melon pulled out a cigarette case from his chest, handed one to Li Nan, and said, "Only two left. Want to have a good smoke?"
Li Nan took the cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth. Bitter Melon then brought a lighter close to Li Nan, and with a "hiss," the tip of the cigarette flared up with a red glow.
Li Nan inhaled the smoke, feeling immensely satisfied; it seemed that he wouldn't trade this moment for anything, not even for a divine being.
Bitter Melon grinned and said, "Brother Nan, I heard from Fatty that about seventy or eighty civilians have left the camp without permission."
Li Nan nodded. "You can't force someone to stay if they want to leave. I have nothing to say about those people."
Bitter Melon remained silent, puffing on his cigarette while looking up.
Following Bitter Melon's gaze, Li Nan saw nothing unusual above.
"How severe are the losses in the camp?" Li Nan asked.
"Thirty-eight combat personnel are dead, over a dozen injured brothers, countless supplies destroyed, and with those who left, there are barely fifty people left in the camp!"
Li Nan asked again, "How many combat personnel are still remaining?"
Bitter Melon gestured with his hand. "Less than thirty, and among them, over ten are injured. The situation in the camp is quite grim!"
After exhaling a smoke ring, Li Nan nodded and asked, "What about food? How much food is left in the camp, and how long can we hold out?"
Bitter Melon sighed helplessly, "There were still over ten tons of grain in the Granary at the camp before, and the people had some surplus food as well. But now the entire camp has been destroyed, and all that grain is buried under the rubble. It won't be easy to retrieve it without a lot of effort!"
Li Nan was taken aback, "Are you saying we have no food on hand right now?"
Bitter Melon nodded, "None of us have eaten today, and now that it's dark, we can't dig it out. We'll have to wait until tomorrow." Bitter Melon pondered for a moment and continued, "Right now, the camp has no water and no food; we are in a dire situation!"
At this moment, Li Nan looked up and saw the scene in the sky. A full moon hung above, surrounded by a few scattered stars, creating a sense of solitude.
Bitter Melon added, "Things haven't reached a dead end yet; there is still a chance for the camp to recover!"
Li Nan smiled and said, "Having come this far, we can't worry about so much anymore. We need to survive; we must lead the people in the camp to survive together. So no matter how bad things get, we have to keep moving forward, right?"
The cigarette butt in Bitter Melon's mouth burned out and he stepped on it. "The road is made by people; as long as Brother Nan is willing to revive the camp, there is definitely hope!"
In the vast sky above, as night deepened, more stars began to cluster around the full moon, and the entire dome of the sky sparkled with stars, gradually becoming lively.
