To be honest, the reason Li Nan recommended Han Guang to Captain Zhang was mainly because he thought Han Guang had some understanding of the situation. Otherwise, Han Guang wouldn't have been waiting outside Jiangbei Hospital in the middle of the night.
As expected, Han Guang continued, "Since Li Nan said we can't get out of the elevator, we shouldn't just sit here and wait for death. At least we should go back to Gate 6; it might be a way out!"
Zhang Li was also hesitating. The current situation was indeed perilous. Not only had they exhausted their ammunition, but the entire underground area's power system was also damaged. If there were any further mistakes now, they could face total annihilation at any moment.
Zhang Li asked Liu Ziming, "How many bullets and grenades do we have left?"
Liu Ziming and others stood behind Zhang Li and immediately reported, "One magazine, one grenade."
"One magazine, no grenades."
"Two magazines, no grenades."
Grenades were something that the Wolf Fang Special Forces always carried during operations. However, this mission was rather sudden, so aside from Liu Ziming bringing three grenades, everyone else had not brought any. The reported bullet count averaged about one and a half magazines per person. This amount of firepower would certainly suffice against a typical mob of ten or so people, but it would be quite challenging against this group of Walking Dead.
A magazine for the Thompson Submachine Gun contains one hundred rounds. Although that's a considerable number, as a heavy weapon with strong firepower, it could only sustain two minutes of firing.
Zhang Li quickly calculated in his mind whether they could use the single grenade they had to blow open the five or six-centimeter-thick iron door.
The urgent task at hand was to escape this dangerous situation. However, if they blew open the large iron door behind Gate 6 to escape, would those zombies also rush to the surface?
A flood of questions rushed into Zhang Li's mind. Although he was usually carefree, he was cautious when it came to critical issues. So he weighed his options. Resupplying ammunition on the surface was important, but given their current situation, they could no longer take the initiative. With the entire underground power system down, their predicament was already precarious. Therefore, the issue wasn't about exterminating zombies but about preserving their own lives. Would Zhang Li really blow open that iron door to escape and leave a path for the zombies to reach the surface?
Li Nan was only about ten centimeters away from Zhang Li. Although he couldn't see Zhang Li's expression, he could tell from his silence for several seconds that Zhang Li was hesitating.
Seeing this, Li Nan said, "Captain Zhang, I know you and your men are not afraid of death. I believe that I and Han Guang are willing to follow you into this Underground Morgue without fear of death as well. However, some sacrifices are meaningful while others are entirely pointless. If we get trapped here, what good will it do for the outside world? Our goal in going out through Gate 6 is to relay information from here and then strive to mobilize greater forces to eliminate these zombies. You can see that with our current strength, it's simply difficult to contend with them!"
Hearing Zhang Li's grunt in response, Li Nan continued, "Once we enter through Gate 6, we can use those zombie corpses to block the entrance again. Although it may not completely stop the zombies, at least it can buy us some time. By then..."
Zhang Li saw Li Nan trying to persuade himself and said, "At this time, the Epidemic Prevention Unit should have arrived at Jiangbei Hospital, so my private actions with the troops must have been reported to the higher-ups. I can imagine my commander is probably cursing me right now! But it's fine; a soldier who isn't scolded isn't a good soldier. Since I've already caused trouble this time, I can't make another mistake. I must bring all my remaining brothers back alive."
Zhang Li's Wolf Tooth Flashlight suddenly flashed in front of Li Nan, causing Li Nan to squint as the light hit his eyes. He revealed a white smile and said, "Since Captain Zhang has made a decision, we should act immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Li shouted, "Let's return to Gate 6!"
Due to the loss of power supply, the temperature in the Morgue suddenly rose, which made the group of men feel quite uncomfortable. They had all worn thicker clothes to descend into the Morgue, and now it was unbearably hot.
In front of Gate 6, Liu Ziming and others were struggling to move the pile of Zombie corpses blocking the entrance under the illumination of several Wolf Eye Flashlights. Many of the Zombies had bullet holes through them and were in pieces. Moving these bodies was particularly strenuous; it would have been easier to scoop them up with a basin than to carry them by hand.
After working hard for a long time, Liu Ziming and his companions were drenched in sweat, their clothes completely soaked. Fortunately, they had managed to clear away the corpses blocking Gate 6, revealing an entrance about half a person high.
A Wolf Fang Soldier with a Submachine Gun was the first to step inside. He shone his Wolf Eye Flashlight around to confirm that there was nothing amiss before waving his hand behind him and saying, "It's clear! You can come in!"
At this moment, Zhang Li also held his flashlight and shone it into the doorway before bending down to enter.
Li Nan's keen eyes seemed to catch sight of a shadow in Zhang Li's flashlight beam. He quickly grabbed Zhang Li and whispered, "Captain Zhang, wait!"
Zhang Li turned back after being caught by Li Nan's grip and asked, "Brother, what do you want to do?"
Li Nan uncertainly replied, "I think I saw something just now, so Captain Zhang shouldn't go in for now!"
Zhang Li dismissed it and said, "How could there still be anything? The Zombies inside have all been killed by us, and there was nothing in the flashlight beam just now!"
Zhang Li paused and shone his Wolf Tooth Flashlight into Gate 6 again.
This time, upon shining the light, Zhang Li's expression suddenly tightened as he noticed a black shadow slowly approaching the Wolf Fang Soldier who had entered first.
Zhang Li shouted, "Tiger, there's something behind you!"
At that moment, Tiger was facing the door, with his Submachine Gun hanging in front of him, seemingly guarding his Company Commander.
When Tiger saw Zhang Li hesitating to enter, he began to feel suspicious. Then hearing Zhang Li shout "there's something behind you," Tiger realized that things had changed.
With danger approaching from behind, it seemed too late for Tiger to retrieve his gun from the front. In a hurry, he reached back and pulled out a Triangular Bayonet from his waistband.
Without a second thought, Tiger turned around to stab, but as the sound of the Bayonet slicing through the air echoed, he silently exclaimed, "Not good! I missed!"
At that moment, Zhang Li was at the doorway, already aiming his gun while illuminated by several Wolf Tooth Flashlights, trying to target whatever was behind the door.
The light from the Wolf Eye Flashlight flickered. Tiger could roughly observe the surroundings but did not see what Zhang Li had mentioned.
Zhang Li's gaze shifted with the flashlight beam. He wasn't sure if what he saw was a Zombie, but in this situation, he couldn't afford to take it lightly; he never dared to be careless about his brother's life.
Tiger swept his Bayonet with his right hand while discarding the Wolf Eye with his left to reach for his Submachine Gun. Just as the flashlight hit the ground, a series of cracking sounds erupted, followed by Tiger's scream.
Zhang Li was unsure of what had happened. Although he didn't take his eyes off the scene for a moment, in an instant, Tiger's body was pulled into the darkness behind him, and then a head rolled out.
When the Wolf Eye Flashlight shone outside, it revealed Tiger's head.
Seeing this, Zhang Li couldn't care about anything else and immediately pulled the trigger. A burst of bullets shot out like lightning, sweeping in all directions.
Li Nan and others were stunned by this situation. Could there really be Zombies inside Door 6?
Li Nan couldn't help but doubt; if there were indeed Zombies inside Door 6, why were their speed and strength not on par with those he had encountered before?
If the other party is not a Zombie, then what other monsters could be lurking in this underground Morgue?
Li Nan's mind was in chaos. He clearly couldn't believe that the previously slow Zombie had burst out from Door 6 and been shot to pieces, yet now it could move quickly enough to evade everyone's sight. Could it be that these Zombies were like self-updating programs, evolving on their own?
This judgment surprised Li Nan himself. In nature, the evolution of animals is a common occurrence, but it takes hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. For example, the evolution of primates into modern humans took an immense amount of time. But these Zombies could evolve to be more advanced, faster, and stronger in less than half an hour? This was clearly impossible. Although Li Nan was well-versed in human physiological functions, he had no explanation for such phenomena.
Zhang Li was extremely angry and was about to rush through the door to personally kill this troublesome Zombie when Li Nan stopped him. "The situation behind Door 6 is more complicated than we imagined; you can't go in!"
Liu Ziming also chimed in, "The Company Commander can't go in; if anyone goes in, it should be me. I want to avenge Tiger!"
At that moment, a beam of flashlight swept by, and Li Nan noticed that Liu Ziming was shirtless. He immediately asked, "Liu Ziming, why did you take off your clothes?"
Liu Ziming was taken aback and wondered why Li Nan would ask him such a question in this situation. However, seeing that Captain Zhang Li's emotions had stabilized, he replied, "The power went out here, and it's just too hot, so I took my clothes off!"
The Underground Morgue had lost power, causing all cooling functions to fail. Since this Morgue was a semi-closed structure, it perfectly matched the concept of the greenhouse effect. Therefore, after just a few minutes without power, the temperature began to rise sharply.
After hearing this, Li Nan couldn't help but feel a wave of heat surrounding him and suddenly realized, "I know why this Zombie has suddenly become so powerful!"
