Li Nan was looking down for some necessary anti-inflammatory medicine, but after searching for several minutes, he still couldn't find the right medication.
The storage room was unusually quiet, which felt a bit strange to Li Nan. He smiled and said, "Even though you all seem fine now, frostbite has already set in deeply. You should take care of it and move your hands and feet; make sure your blood circulates well, or it could lead to more serious injuries!"
There was no sound behind Li Nan, which was odd. Suddenly turning around, Li Nan was puzzled by everyone's demeanor. "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Li and the other Wolf Fang Soldiers were all armed, and Han Guang was no exception; they seemed quite hostile towards Li Nan.
Li Nan forced a smile. "Submachine guns can easily misfire; you really shouldn't joke around!"
Zhang Li held a Triangular Bayonet and slowly approached Li Nan, while Li Xiaofan blocked his way, saying, "Boss, it's dangerous to go over there!"
Zhang Li ignored him and shouted at Li Nan, "What happened after Liu Heping took you away?"
Li Nan didn't understand why his brothers were pointing weapons at him after being trapped in the Second Morgue for over three hours. Was there something strange going on?
He wanted to explain but realized that aside from a faint memory, he couldn't recall what Liu Heping had done to him. "Liu Heping is quite deranged; he wanted to control the zombies here, and the third corpse in Mortuary One was stolen by him. However, his experiment failed, so he wanted to use me as part of his experiment!"
Zhang Li was taken aback. "Are you saying Liu Heping wanted to turn you into a zombie?"
Li Nan nodded, and Zhang Li continued to ask, "So did Liu Heping succeed? Or did he fail?"
Li Nan didn't know how to answer that question. "I don't know; when I woke up from my coma, the situation in this storage room was already like this!"
Zhang Li cautiously observed the conditions inside the storage room. Dozens of zombies had met their demise, and judging by their injuries, they had definitely been killed by a very strong and fierce man repeatedly. Therefore, Zhang Li couldn't help but suspect that there was indeed something wrong with Li Nan.
Li Nan was baffled by how things had turned out and asked, "Do you suspect me?"
Zhang Li did not respond directly, "When you turned around just now, I did indeed have doubts about you. We all had doubts!"
Li Nan was shocked, "Why?"
Zhang Li said, "Because there are claw marks from a Zombie on your back, deep into the skin. So regardless of what Liu Heping did to you, we have reason to suspect that you have already been infected by a Zombie!"
Li Nan felt no pain on his back, but seeing the serious expressions of Zhang Li and the others made him doubt himself. "That's impossible! I haven't been attacked by a Zombie; how could there be claw marks? It's simply not possible!"
Zhang Li cautiously stepped closer to Li Nan, "I don't want to believe this either, but you have indeed been scratched by a Zombie. So you know..."
"Impossible! I still have consciousness; I still have various vital signs. I am not a Zombie; you must be mistaken!"
Zhang Li raised the Triangular Bayonet in his hand, "I'm not a doctor. Maybe you've just been infected and haven't completely turned into a Zombie yet. But for everyone's safety, we must ensure there are no hidden dangers!"
Li Nan shouted, "What do you want to do? Are you going to kill me?"
Zhang Li shook his head, "There's no other way. If I were infected by a Zombie, I would hope that you would end my life yourself. So now, I must carry out this process first!"
Zhang Li lifted the Triangular Bayonet, ready to stab down. For a moment, Li Nan's mind was in chaos. "Could it be that I really have been infected by a Zombie?" He recalled how he had taken so many random medications earlier and felt nothing unusual; this was indeed illogical. Perhaps he really had been infected.
Facing Zhang Li's descending Bayonet, Li Nan did not evade but stood firm as if welcoming death like Jesus. However, was Li Nan truly calm inside? Not necessarily!
Li Nan secretly cursed, "Damn Liu Heping! You put me in this dangerous situation!"
Just as Zhang Li was about to strike at Li Nan's head, a gunshot rang out from behind them. In an instant, the Triangular Bayonet in Zhang Li's hand fell to the ground.
Zhang Li turned around and saw the smoke rising from Han Guang's gun.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Li asked Han Guang, who downplayed the situation, saying, "He's still a living person, one of our kind. Can you really bear to kill him?"
Zhang Li was speechless. "So what do you want to do? Wait until he turns into a Zombie before taking action?"
Han Guang smiled and replied, "At least let's clarify the situation before making a decision!"
At that moment, Li Xiaofan chimed in, "Boss, I think Li Nan looks fine. He doesn't seem to be infected by a Zombie. How about we..."
Several Wolf Fang Soldiers pleaded for Li Nan, and Zhang Li glanced at the fallen Bayonet, feeling helpless as he said, "Since you insist on this, I have nothing more to say!"
Zhang Li angrily walked away, while Han Guang approached and put away his gun.
Seeing it was Han Guang, Li Nan asked, "Do I really have Zombie claw marks on my back?"
Han Guang nodded and pulled out a stainless steel lighter from his pocket, waving it behind Li Nan. "You can take a look for yourself!"
Though small, the lighter's stainless steel surface reflected enough information. Li Nan looked and found five deep claw marks on the left side of his spine, bleeding profusely—clearly the work of a Zombie.
"How is this possible? When did this happen?" Li Nan's mind was in turmoil; he couldn't believe this fact. Was he really going to turn into a Zombie soon?
Han Guang carefully observed the wound on Li Nan's back. The injury was quite severe; if it had been just an inch to the right, Li Nan's spine would likely have been broken. Even if he turned into a Zombie then, he wouldn't be able to stand.
"The wound is about three to four centimeters deep. While it's not fatal, it is indeed inflicted by a Zombie, so the situation is not optimistic," Han Guang said clearly.
Li Nan was on the verge of collapse; he simply could not remember what had happened in the storage room, and he had no recollection of his rampage. The scars on his back were caused by a Zombie pouncing on him from behind.
Han Guang asked, "Do you feel anything unusual? Like any discomfort in your body?"
Li Nan shook his head. "When I just woke up, my stomach felt really bad, and then I let out a loud fart that was particularly foul. Other than that, I feel fine!"
After hearing this from Li Nan, Han Guang realized why he had sensed an overwhelming stench when entering the storage room. At the time, he thought it was just the smell from the Zombie's corpse, but now he suspected it was actually Li Nan's foul fart.
Han Guang showed a particularly amused expression, pondering to himself how a fart could be so foul that its lingering odor lasted for days. He was already quite suspicious.
At this moment, Li Nan was also checking his vital signs—heartbeat, pulse, and breathing—all within normal ranges. However, Li Nan still felt uneasy. He had seen the blood of Zombies; it was a thick black liquid. So, he picked up the Bayonet that Zhang Li had dropped and made a small cut on the back of his hand to investigate further.
The blade of the Bayonet was very sharp; with just a light stroke, it left a noticeable wound, and immediately a liquid began to flow from his hand.
Li Nan widened his eyes as he saw that it was indeed red blood and not the black viscous liquid.
Only now did Li Nan confirm one thing: he had not yet turned into a Zombie, but it was certain that he had been infected!
Seeing this, Han Guang said, "Perhaps there is still hope; you don't need to be too pessimistic!"
Li Nan knew this was Han Guang's way of comforting him and replied, "Life and death are fated. Since I have indeed been infected by a Zombie, you might as well kill me now to prevent me from turning into a Zombie later and harming others!"
Han Guang straightened his expression. "I have a feeling there might really be a chance for recovery. But at least for now, you are still a living human being. I will not harm my comrade, and I believe they won't either!"
Li Nan chuckled lightly. "You're being kind to me now, but when I turn into a Zombie, I won't hold back!"
"Leave it to me! When you really turn into a Zombie, I will personally end your life!" Han Guang laughed loudly.
"When you become a Zombie, we won't show any mercy!" Li Xiaofan shouted.
Haizi and the others echoed, "You can't die before we get out of here!"
For a moment, Li Nan suddenly felt an urge to cry. In this dark Underground Morgue, he had encountered such a group of genuine friends who would risk their lives for each other. Perhaps this life was truly worth it!
Li Nan tilted his head back and said with emotion, "Just hearing those words from you is enough. But I, Li Nan, cannot bring disaster upon my brothers. Now that the Freight Elevator can be used normally, we can get out directly!" After a pause, he turned to Han Guang and said, "You're a good cop. When we get back to the surface, help me find a nurse named Gao Xue and just tell me about her."
After saying this, Li Nan bravely straightened his body and then lifted his head, charging toward the wall beside him.
Han Guang noticed something unusual about Li Nan and immediately reached out to stop him. However, he was blocked by a surge of muscular strength. Han Guang was surprised and exclaimed, "When did this kid become so strong!"
Before Han Guang could think further, Li Nan's rushing body suddenly slipped underfoot and he fell forward onto the ground, landing in an awkward position.
"Damn it!" Li Nan exclaimed as he saw the wall right in front of him while his feet slipped on some slick substance that had likely spilled from some liquid medication.
Li Nan lamented in frustration; he wanted to act heroically just once, but why was it so difficult!
