The car's anti-theft alarm kept ringing incessantly, and Mo Xiaohui gradually regained her senses amidst a wave of dizziness. "Am I not dead yet?"
Mo Xiaohui touched her chest, feeling particularly uncomfortable. As she looked around, she realized with a start that she had been lying on top of Li Nan, her chest pressed against his shoulder blade. How could it not be uncomfortable?
Recalling the harrowing scene that had just unfolded, Mo Xiaohui felt a surge of fear. Looking around, she discovered that they had crashed onto the roof of her Lamborghini.
Turning to glance at Jiangbei Hospital, she noticed that the entire building had been charred black, and the traces of fire had already vanished. "Have I been unconscious for so long?"
At that moment, Mo Xiaohui finally realized, "How could I fall from such a height and not be injured at all?"
Looking down at Li Nan beneath her, Mo Xiaohui's face paled as she muttered, "It must have been Li Nan's body that cushioned the impact. But what about him?"
She quickly extended two fingers to check for Li Nan's breath. "Fortunately, he's still breathing!"
Mo Xiaohui shook her head a few times and checked her own body to confirm she wasn't seriously hurt. Then she wanted to find her phone to call for help.
Back at Jiangbei Hospital, Mo Xiaohui had followed Li Nan's instructions and left her phone behind. It should be useful now, but as she rummaged through her bag, she found nothing. "Did it get thrown out when I fell?"
Unable to find her phone, Mo Xiaohui thought about asking passersby for help. However, looking around the parking lot revealed that there wasn't even a dog in sight, let alone any people!
Slowly climbing down from the car hood, Mo Xiaohui looked at the still unconscious Li Nan and felt troubled. In this situation, she absolutely couldn't just leave him behind. Besides, they had gone through so much together in the hospital. So Mo Xiaohui made up her mind: even if it meant carrying him on her back, she would get him to safety.
Once she got down from the car roof, Mo Xiaohui realized that relying on her own strength was quite difficult. She didn't even have the strength to pull Li Nan down from the roof. Moreover, her knees and ankles had been injured earlier; walking was already challenging enough without having to carry a grown man.
Feeling somewhat helpless, Mo Xiaohui scratched her head and noticed how disheveled she looked—her skirt was half burned away, she wore mismatched rubber shoes, and her hair was a tangled mess. In this state, how could she still resemble Jiangbei Radio's top flower?
Mo Xiaohui smiled wryly; there was no point in being particular now. Having narrowly escaped death was already a blessing; there was no time to worry about anything else!
Li Nan's face was marked with patches of black and white, and his clothes were tattered; he probably only had a pair of underwear to cover himself.
Mo Xiaohui knew about Li Nan being attacked by zombies in the Underground Morgue, but now it seemed that his back was completely smooth, showing no signs of injury at all.
"Impossible! It's only been a day and a night, how could the wounds heal so quickly?" Mo Xiaohui exclaimed in surprise, immediately running her hand over Li Nan's back.
As Mo Xiaohui touched him, Li Nan's Adam's apple began to move slightly, but Mo Xiaohui didn't notice. She only felt that this man was truly incredible; the Zombie Virus hadn't harmed him, and he had fallen from over thirty meters high without any issues. "What kind of man are you to be so legendary?"
"Cough, cough..." Li Nan instinctively hunched over, producing a bitter sound from his throat.
"You’re awake!" Mo Xiaohui shouted happily. After Li Nan slowly opened his eyes, he asked, "Where is this? What happened?"
The Lamborghini was still making a loud noise, and Li Nan reflexively wanted to cover his ears.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaohui immediately reached out her hands to cover his ears, but her chest pressed right in front of Li Nan's face, her fair and firm breasts proudly displayed like two haughty rabbits.
Li Nan swallowed hard and looked up at Mo Xiaohui intently. "Did we escape?"
Mo Xiaohui nodded and recounted everything that had happened. However, she chose to conceal the fact that the Boss Zombie was actually Gao Xue.
Li Nan sighed deeply. "So you're saying everyone is dead except for us?"
Mo Xiaohui replied with a hint of sadness, "Indeed. You can see the Jiangbei Hospital Building behind us; it looks completely burnt down. Everyone has died!"
Li Nan still seemed skeptical. "We fell from the rooftop and we're fine. Could Han Guang have survived too?"
Mo Xiaohui didn't know how to respond to this because she and Li Nan were incredibly lucky; they landed on the Lamborghini's hood, which significantly reduced their impact. Plus, with Li Nan being such a legendary figure, they managed to survive intact. As for Han Guang, who also jumped from over thirty meters high, he might not have been so fortunate.
In order to soothe Li Nan's emotions, Mo Xiaohui said, "Maybe Officer Han has the same good luck as us!"
Li Nan touched his head; he had been unconscious for too long. Not only was his mind not fully recovered, but his muscles were also very tense, feeling almost foreign to him.
Li Nan shook his body and realized he had no injuries. He then looked up at the Jiangbei Hospital Building, which had been completely burned down, still feeling a lingering fear.
"What incredible luck!" Li Nan couldn't help but exclaim, then cautiously tried to climb down from the vehicle.
"What time is it now?" Li Nan rubbed his legs, hoping they would regain their function soon.
Mo Xiaohui looked up at the sun, which was nearing sunset. "It should be around four or five in the afternoon!"
Li Nan calculated the time; if it was indeed four or five in the afternoon, that meant it had been about ten hours since they fell from the rooftop. Could it be that no one had come to rescue them in those ten hours?
Just as Li Nan was filled with doubt, a bigger question arose in his mind. According to their earlier judgment made in the hospital, the military had already fully sealed off Jiangbei Hospital before the zombie outbreak inside. This meant that the military had treated everyone inside Jiangbei Hospital as expendable!
Generally speaking, the fate of expendables is simple: they are either exterminated or hidden away. However, Jiangbei Hospital's situation was awkward; it hadn't been humanely destroyed by the military but was completely sealed off instead. What did this imply? It likely meant that the military was still concerned about something—public reaction or some other reason?
Now it seemed that the former was impossible because dozens of military green trucks were still outside the hospital, yet there were no soldiers present!
Li Nan turned his mind over and kept questioning, "What exactly happened outside? Why did the military seal off Jiangbei Hospital before the zombie outbreak? What could have caused such action? Was there already a dangerous situation outside?"
Thinking of this made Li Nan feel an uncontrollable fear. "If that's true, then it's truly terrifying!"
Seeing Li Nan talking to himself and unable to grasp what was happening, Mo Xiaohui asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Nan shook his head. "I thought of something frightening; it's very possible that the world outside is already overrun by zombies!"
Mo Xiaohui lightly snorted, "How is that possible? I just feel that the air outside is exceptionally fresh. All the victims from Beiyuan Square were sent to Jiangbei Hospital, so how could there be pathogens outside? You're just overthinking it!"
Li Nan retorted, "How do you know that the person from Beiyuan Square was the initial infected?"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaohui was at a loss for words and after a long pause, she foolishly laughed, "Don't be so pessimistic! Even if the Zombie Virus spreads worldwide, there's no need to worry. Aren't there superheroes and Ultraman? We don't have to worry about it!"
This playful remark made Li Nan laugh as well, and he relaxed. Having just escaped from such a dangerous situation, why should he seek trouble for himself?
"You've got it wrong; Superman is American, and Ultraman is Japanese. They each have their own specific regions. If something happens to us, who will come to save us?"
Mo Xiaohui smiled brightly, "I don't know who will save others, but you will definitely come to save me. You are my hero!"
Li Nan also chuckled, "I'm too busy taking care of myself; who would go save you?"
Mentioning saving people reminded Li Nan of Zhang Li and the others who risked their lives to save them—people they had known for less than twelve hours—and he couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Xiaohui understood what Li Nan was thinking and comforted him, "They are heroes; we should respect their choices!"
Li Nan raised his head, "They truly are heroes. May their souls rest in peace!"
"Rest in peace!" Mo Xiaohui echoed.
As they spoke, Li Nan's hands and feet had returned to normal. At this moment, he said to Mo Xiaohui, "We need to leave here; there's not a single shadow around. Something must have happened."
Mo Xiaohui nodded, "I can't drive my car now. We need to get out of here. Do you have any money? We can get a taxi up ahead!"
Li Nan looked at himself; aside from a pair of underwear that was still somewhat intact, the rest of his clothes were in tatters. "It seems I don't have any money!"
Mo Xiaohui looked at Li Nan's outfit and couldn't help but chuckle, while Li Nan awkwardly covered his lower body, saying, "It seems you aren't much better off!"
Mo Xiaohui shrugged it off, "Surviving is already good enough; who has the luxury to worry about looking good?"
Thus, the two of them, this pair of unfortunate companions, supported each other as they walked out of the parking lot.
Despite knowing deep down that their situation was likely not as good as it seemed, Li Nan was willing to play the fool alongside this woman. After going through so much, he didn't want to stay tense anymore.
As he stepped down, Li Nan crushed a charred half of a head underfoot, prompting Mo Xiaohui to ask, "What happened?"
Li Nan smiled and replied, "Nothing! Just stepped in some dog poop!"
Mo Xiaohui immediately made a disdainful face, "No wonder it smells so bad!"
Li Nan kicked the crushed head away, but he vaguely felt that the row of teeth exposed from that head looked particularly familiar. "Have I seen this somewhere before?"
Li Nan chuckled to himself, "I must be overthinking it!"
