The sun had already risen, and the outdoor temperature had increased. At this time, the Zombies in Jiangbei Hospital were moving more swiftly than usual. Li Nan had to consider all these factors; if Zhang Li and the others were indeed in danger, he needed to take appropriate rescue measures to prevent the situation from worsening.
Li Nan was positioned in front of the blood bank door, and corresponding to the Ninth Floor, there should be a corridor where many Zombies should not be gathered.
As Li Nan thought about the blood bank, an idea suddenly struck him. He took off his clothes, fashioned them into a large bag, and slipped into the blood bank.
While removing his clothes, Li Nan noticed that the rag wrapped around his right arm had come off. He was taken aback: "It was all Mo Xiaohui who pulled it off!"
With the wound exposed to the air, it was easy for it to become infected. Li Nan wanted to wrap it again, but as he looked at it, he discovered something strange about the wound on his right arm.
A wound that had touched the bone could not be considered minor; as they say, injuries to muscles and bones take One Hundred Days to heal. It was clear that healing would be a very slow process. However, Li Nan was astonished to find that the wound on his right arm was miraculously healing slowly, leaving only a faint mark!
Li Nan exclaimed in shock: "What is going on?"
When he pressed his left hand against the original wound, he felt no pain at all. This left Li Nan feeling anxious because, according to normal human metabolic rates, this was simply impossible!
Li Nan rubbed his eyes and then tapped his head. "Could it be an illusion caused by a blow to my head?"
Once Li Nan could confirm that what was happening before him was real, he truly felt a sense of incredulity.
"This is all too bizarre!" Li Nan recalled being struck twice on the head by a Zombie. According to reason, he should have been unconscious by now; why was he still completely fine?
Li Nan remembered that initially, he had been bitten on the back by a Zombie, so he quickly removed the rag tied around his back. When reflected on the smooth wall, it too had healed!
Now Li Nan was genuinely at a loss; could this be a joke played by heaven?
Recalling fragmented memories from the Second Morgue underground, Li Nan took a deep breath. "Could it be that all of this is Liu Heping's doing?"
Li Nan nodded and shook his head. In this situation, he didn't know whether to feel happy or frustrated. After being scratched twice by Zombies, his wounds miraculously healed on their own. Did this mean that Li Nan had not been infected by the Zombies? And if so, did it imply that there was something capable of countering the Zombie Virus? The fact that such an incomprehensible phenomenon could stem from Liu Heping's actions felt somewhat ironic!
It can now be basically confirmed that Li Nan has not been infected by the Zombie. However, the reason for his current condition is still unclear.
Li Nan's spirits lifted as he muttered to himself, "So, it seems that I have developed antibodies against the Zombie. If my blood components can be extracted, perhaps a drug to combat the Zombie can be created. At that time, the people in Jiangbei Hospital might be saved!"
Li Nan's idea was good, but the situation was not optimistic because he had no opportunity to go out and share his antibodies with others.
Li Nan sighed, "It's a good thing, but I wonder if there will be a chance to benefit others!"
This discovery was significant, and Li Nan did not dare to slow down. He still needed to rescue Zhang Li and the others!
Li Nan placed his coat on the ground, tied it into a small bundle, and then stuffed dozens of Li Nan bags inside. He secured the sleeves and slung it over his back.
"Let's go!" Li Nan whispered to himself as he stepped onto the stairs leading to the Ninth Floor.
On the Ninth Floor, there was a laboratory focused on researching the medical uses of Liquid Nitrogen. A professor and two Master's students were in charge of the work, so there were many Liquid Nitrogen storage tanks in the lab.
Liquid Nitrogen's low temperature is crucial for organ preservation during surgeries and for human nerve research. As a medical unit directly under the Provincial Health Department, Jiangbei Hospital had the qualifications for such independent experimental projects.
When Li Nan initially proposed wiping out the Zombies, he informed Zhang Li and others that there were numerous Liquid Nitrogen Tanks on the Ninth Floor's laboratory. These tanks are similar to oxygen tanks used in diving; despite their small size, they contain immense pressure. If damaged externally, these high-pressure containers could instantly become dangerous bombs!
Li Nan speculated that Zhang Li and the others must have encountered an accident while retrieving a Liquid Nitrogen Tank. Therefore, he needed to sneak over immediately to find out what was going on!
Upon reaching the Ninth Floor, Li Nan carefully observed his surroundings and noticed that there were no Zombies in sight. However, he remained cautious; with his backpack on his back and a baseball bat in his right hand, he slowly made his way toward the laboratory.
The corridor was very quiet, with only Li Nan's footsteps echoing. In this atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. "It really feels like death is approaching!"
After moving a couple of steps, Li Nan spotted a Zombie corpse at the corner of the corridor. A bullet had pierced its forehead, causing its brains to splatter everywhere.
Li Nan was mentally prepared for this scene, and he tightened his grip on the baseball bat as he continued forward.
In the corridor ahead, dozens of Zombie corpses were scattered about, haphazardly piled like a mass grave.
Li Nan used the bat to poke at the bodies on the ground one by one, confirming that all the Ghosts lying there were indeed dead before feeling somewhat relieved.
Tonight, there should be more than one hundred thirty medical staff and patients trapped in Jiangbei Hospital. This meant that there were likely over one hundred thirty Zombies in the hospital now. Considering those he had encountered earlier and subtracting those that had died here, there should still be over ninety Zombies remaining. This number might not seem significant, but for Zhang Li and the others, it meant facing ten enemies with only one of them left. Most importantly, they were almost out of ammunition.
Li Nan crept into the laboratory next door and peeked through the glass door, discovering that there was nothing inside—no Zombies and no sign of Zhang Li and the others!
Li Nan sensed that something was off. Based on the situation in the corridor, he deduced that Zhang Li and the others must have encountered a Zombie attack while in the corridor. Outnumbered, they had no choice but to open fire. However, what puzzled him most was why there were over thirty Zombies on the Ninth Floor. The storage temperature of the Liquid Nitrogen Tank was generally below zero; such an environment should not harbor Zombies!
Li Nan ran through various scenarios in his mind. Perhaps when Zhang Li and his group reached the Ninth Floor laboratory, they felt that everything was normal around them and became careless. They didn't expect that when they tried to leave the laboratory, they would find dozens of Zombies waiting outside, which led to the earlier gunfight!
Li Nan thought to himself: "Zombies are attracted to heat and naturally avoid cold. Their presence outside the laboratory must mean there is some external factor drawing them in. Could someone be behind this?"
At this thought, Li Nan shivered as he recalled a certain individual—the orchestrator of those dark surgeries underground, Liu Heping!
