The light in the corridor was dim, and the shadows of three figures stretched long and mottled, as if they were in a funhouse mirror.
Since Liu Ziming and Mo Xiaohui needed care, Li Nan's pace was slow. After three minutes, he finally climbed to the fourth floor.
At the top of the stairs on the fourth floor, Mo Xiaohui instinctively leaned back, snuggling behind Li Nan, seemingly very frightened.
Seeing this, Li Nan comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'm here; everything will be fine!"
Mo Xiaohui remained silent, and Li Nan could only hold this woman tightly behind him to prevent her fear from spreading.
Li Nan had no idea what exactly had happened to Mo Xiaohui, and judging by her state, she probably couldn't explain it either. So he controlled his curiosity and thought to himself that Jiangbei Hospital was very dangerous.
Earlier, when Li Nan rushed up to the fourth floor to look for Gao Xue, he had taken the main staircase where Zhang Li and the others were currently walking. To reach the Radiology Department on the seventh floor more quickly, he chose to take the side staircase. This meant that his route was relatively secluded, increasing the likelihood of encountering an accident.
Li Nan was unconcerned; after all, he had already been infected by a Zombie. He wasn't worried about facing any dangers as long as he could protect Liu Ziming and Mo Xiaohui.
As he turned around the corner of the staircase, he came face to face with a corpse lying flat on the steps of the corridor.
Li Nan frowned. "Is it a person or a Zombie?"
In fact, this question was meaningless; a normal person wouldn't be lying there. It could only be a Zombie or a corpse infected by one!
Li Nan gestured to Mo Xiaohui, "Stay still and hide behind me. I'll check it out."
Mo Xiaohui shook her head. "Dangerous, dangerous..."
Li Nan smiled as he pushed Mo Xiaohui back behind him. She couldn't resist and leaned slightly forward to observe the situation.
Li Nan drew out a scalpel from his pocket and held it in his hand as he slowly approached the body lying on the ground.
From its outline, the corpse appeared to be female and dressed like a medical staff member from Jiangbei Hospital. She had an average build with disheveled hair, making it impossible for Li Nan to see her face clearly; thus, he couldn't determine her identity!
As Li Nan cautiously moved closer, an ominous premonition began to grow in his heart. "Could she be Gao Xue? Could she be Gao Xue..."
Li Nan muttered inwardly, his expression turning grim. Judging solely by the corpse's appearance, it did resemble Gao Xue somewhat, but Li Nan ultimately dared not believe it.
After struggling internally for half a minute, Li Nan gritted his teeth—life and death are fated! Life and death are fated!
Now, Li Nan could no longer care about the dangerous corpse. He wanted to personally brush aside the hair on its face to see what was underneath!
Li Nan stood before the corpse, trembling as he extended his hands to touch its face.
The disheveled hair resembled fallen leaves covering the ground, while Li Nan's hands seemed like a broom, determined to reveal the grim truth before his eyes!
As he gathered the long hair, a clean and handsome face emerged, with slightly furrowed brows, slightly parted lips, and flaring nostrils—definitely not the appearance of a corpse!
Li Nan was so absorbed in his observation that he suddenly felt a pair of delicate, pale hands gripping his neck.
"You are not Gao Xue!" Li Nan shouted. At the same time, as he sensed the strange feeling on his neck, the scalpel in his right hand slashed through the air and stabbed into the arm of the Zombie.
The Zombie felt nothing and continued to exert force. Soon after, its head leaned closer as if it wanted to feast on him!
Li Nan's anger surged. He forcefully pulled back one leg and stomped down hard. To his surprise, the Zombie seemed boneless and was instantly crushed into a mushy mess under his foot!
It was then that Li Nan noticed that this Zombie's spine had already been eaten away by other Zombies, rendering it immobile as it lay in the corridor.
Li Nan stomped down hard on the Zombie's waist, but it remained unfazed. Even with only half of its upper body left, it persisted with unwavering determination as a Zombie that refused to give up!
Li Nan had no intention of mocking it; he felt as if he were about to be choked. Fueled by desperation, he bent down and forcefully slammed his head against the Zombie's skull.
If it didn't succeed, at least it would be a noble end!
Li Nan's movement was so vigorous that Liu Ziming behind him was thrown off balance and sent flying.
Realizing something was wrong, Li Nan quickly felt his skull hit the cold ground!
He hadn't expected the Zombie's head to be so fragile; it shattered like a fist striking a watermelon, sending juices splattering everywhere—red, green, and black flying around—while Li Nan himself remained unharmed!
By the time Li Nan regained his senses, he no longer cared about himself. He quickly moved several steps toward Liu Ziming's direction, relieved that his head hadn't hit the ground first!
Li Nan carefully checked Liu Ziming for any external injuries and found none. However, given the circumstances, he couldn't afford to be careless. After such a jolt, he couldn't tell if any internal organs had been affected. If there were injuries combined with previous electric shocks, it could very well cost Liu Ziming his life!
Just relying on superficial observation wouldn't reveal any injuries. Therefore, Li Nan needed to hurry and get to the Radiology Department for a comprehensive examination of Liu Ziming to obtain a clear diagnosis!
The Zombie lying on the ground had been reduced to nothing more than a puddle of mush after Li Nan's actions.
However, hiding behind was Mo Xiaohui, who found it hard to accept the bloody scene and immediately vomited.
There was no choice; with zombies around, Li Nan could only survive by using the simplest method of violence to counter violence. Perhaps in a few hours, he would also become a zombie, one that would ultimately be beaten into a pulp!
Li Nan no longer felt fear; he had become indifferent. He just wanted to save one more person in the last few minutes of his life.
Li Nan picked up Liu Ziming again and turned back to Mo Xiaohui's side, covering her eyes as he led her through the bloody and foul-smelling corridor.
After Li Nan smashed his head against a zombie, he felt completely fine, which surprised him. Perhaps he was about to turn into a zombie himself; not only was Liu Ziming running out of time, but so was he!
"Miss Mo, if you find that I have also turned into a zombie later, please use this scalpel to end my life!" As he spoke, Li Nan handed a scalpel about twenty centimeters long to Mo Xiaohui.
Mo Xiaohui shook her head, still not understanding Li Nan's intentions. Li Nan smiled and said, "It's for your self-defense. I won't always be able to protect you; you need to learn to rely on yourself!"
Mo Xiaohui was stunned. "You want to abandon me?"
Li Nan shook his head. "No, no!"
