After walking for about two to three hours, the group of four continued to circle along the road. Li Nan noticed the direction of the road and had a rough idea in his mind, estimating that their final destination should be in the northern part of the city, near Dadong District.
What buildings in Dadong District could be used as a campsite while also avoiding Zombie attacks was quite a concern for Li Nan.
The key issue was that Li Nan was not very familiar with Dadong District. However, due to Brother Hai being in front of him, he did not directly ask Mo Xiaohui. When he saw that Mo Xiaohui was also looking around during their journey, he felt somewhat reassured, thinking, "This girl has finally learned to be more cautious!"
As they continued forward, Brother Hai held his right shoulder with one hand. Although the bleeding had stopped, he was still covered in dark red blood, and it smelled quite foul.
Li Dapeng had always felt something strange behind them, but Li Nan's reaction made him suspicious. If Li Nan did not have other plans, then this situation made no sense at all.
Compared to the latter, Li Dapeng preferred to believe in the former; he believed that Li Nan had his own plan.
Li Nan frequently turned around, but he was unconcerned. They were getting closer to what Brother Hai referred to as a campsite, which aligned perfectly with Li Nan's plan.
Brother Hai walked ahead, holding his shoulder and pretending to be in pain. Internally, he had already begun to contemplate how to turn the tables.
Brother Hai knew that everything on him had been confiscated; he basically had no room for resistance. However, things might not be without change—he was not someone to be underestimated!
Li Nan was wary of Brother Hai, but he had already prepared his insurance. With Brother Hai's right shoulder injured, it essentially rendered him incapable of fighting back; thus, there was no possibility of reversal solely relying on him.
Brother Hai seemed to have heard some movement behind them and immediately turned to Li Nan and asked, "Is there any danger?"
Li Nan smiled and replied, "Definitely not. Would I not value my own life? Besides, if I can handle that Black-Furred Spider, do you really think anything could harm me?"
Brother Hai nodded in agreement and said, "I haven't asked for your name yet; could you please tell me?"
"Li Nan!"
"Brother Hai!" he called out, then turned and continued walking. "Others may not see Brother Nan's abilities, but I, Old Hai, can see them!"
"What can you see?" Li Nan asked, to which Brother Hai replied, "I can tell that you have great strength, at least greater than that Mighty Bull!"
Li Nan responded with an "Oh," and said, "Could it be that you're just guessing?"
Brother Hai chuckled lightly. "Your footsteps are particularly heavy, and your breathing is more intense than usual. So your lung capacity must be quite large. Looking at your physique, your muscles are well-developed, especially when you used that Rebar earlier; the force was very evident. It's easy to see the strength you possess!"
Li Nan found it amusing. "Your observation skills are quite impressive. Did you ever guess that I would take action against you?"
Brother Hai's expression turned awkward. "Brother Nan is joking. How could I possibly read your mind? My ability to observe people is just to avoid the police; I don't have any kind of foresight!"
"Then how did you get in?" Li Nan asked casually.
"Well! In my younger years, I was arrogant and didn't want to do any work. Later, I became idle and picked up the habit of stealing. After a while, petty theft wasn't enough for me, so I learned to rob people on the road. On my first job, I got caught by the police and spent five years in prison. When I got out, I went back to my old ways and ended up back inside for another five years. It happened several times, and this year marks my fourteenth year in prison!"
Brother Hai spoke with a hint of bitterness, while Li Nan teased him, "You could say you've been in and out three times!"
Brother Hai nodded in agreement. "I have always aimed too high, which led to this situation. But now that the world has ended, there's nowhere left for me to steal from!"
Li Nan changed the subject. "So how did you meet Gao Hu? You're just an ordinary robber; how did you become cellmates with a death-row criminal?"
Brother Hai's expression became noticeably uneasy, and just as he struggled to hide it, he suddenly felt an increasing sense of unease behind him.
He abruptly turned around and discovered that there were over a dozen Zombies following them!
Without any weapons in hand, Brother Hai appeared quite tense. "There are Zombies coming after us! What should we do?"
Li Nan smiled, "It's just a dozen Zombies, no need to worry. Are we almost at the camp?"
In fact, the sun was already hanging low in the west, about to set. Brother Hai looked at the distance and nodded, "We're close, just a kilometer or two ahead!"
Li Nan glanced at the approximate location and realized that there should be a Control Room building ahead on this path. In an instant, he understood that the camp Brother Hai mentioned must be at that Control Room location!
At this moment, the dozen Zombies behind them had already rushed over and were gathering in greater numbers!
Brother Hai trembled in fear and fell to the side of the road, his left hand hitting the ground as he instinctively grabbed a sharp-edged stone!
In fact, Brother Hai's restraints had long been removed. He not only feared that Li Nan had his gun but also feared Li Nan's strength. So when he sensed the Zombies surging behind him, he felt both scared and relieved—scared because he was unarmed and worried about being dealt with by the Zombies; relieved because it seemed he could take advantage of the chaos.
Brother Hai assessed his options from the roadside while Li Nan shouted loudly, "Don't worry about those Zombies, let's run!"
Hearing Li Nan's shout, Mo Xiaohui and Li Dapeng quickly gathered their weapons and ran forward. Seeing this, Brother Hai shook his head, "If we just run blindly, how will I have any chance?"
Brother Hai hurriedly got up from the ground and secretly gripped a stone so others wouldn't notice.
Due to an injury on his shoulder, Brother Hai's speed was severely limited; he couldn't run fast at all. So he shouted from behind everyone, "Hey! Nan Ge, wait for me! I'll introduce you later; you won't have to worry!"
Li Nan had already spotted the gymnasium and saw a Honda CRV approaching. It seemed that someone on the other side had noticed something was off, and that vehicle was an old Honda CR-V.
Li Nan turned back with a smile and said to Brother Hai, "Do you know why those Zombies are chasing us?"
Brother Hai looked at Li Nan's somewhat strange expression and immediately lowered his gaze to his right shoulder. Then he exclaimed in surprise, "It's the blood on me!"
Li Nan nodded, and Brother Hai instantly understood what was happening. His expression changed as he angrily said, "You bastard have been setting me up all along!"
"It’s obvious they want to harm you. What can you do?" Li Nan said seriously.
Brother Hai hung his right arm limply, clearly feeling a surge of anger that caused more blood to flow from the wound on his shoulder.
Li Nan smiled, "You should focus on your own situation!"
Two seconds later, an old Honda CR-V pulled up next to Li Nan. Three people got out of the car: one with shifty eyes, likely the Rat; another, a sturdy figure, must be Mighty Bull; and the last one, with a pained expression, was undoubtedly Bitter Melon!
Li Nan turned to see the three people who had just gotten out of the car and said to Brother Hai, "Your condition doesn’t seem too good!"
Brother Hai spat out a mouthful of blood, "Damn! Just escaped from the wolf's den and walked into the tiger's lair. I should have fought you hard from the start; what a waste of my cunning!"
The Rat was the first to size up Li Nan and then asked, "What’s your name, brother? What’s going on here?"
Li Nan replied, "This is just an accident. This person is covered in blood because he attracted the Zombie!"
Seeing Brother Hai in front of him, the Rat seemed amused. "Wow! Resurrected from the dead, Brother Hai is impressive!"
He then immediately turned to Mighty Bull and said, "Wasn’t Brother Hai already dead? This guy looks like a complete impostor!"
Mighty Bull held a high-speed submachine gun in his hand. A burst of bullets flew towards Brother Hai, turning him into a porcupine. However, the stone he had hidden in his left hand was thrown out in an instant, targeting not Li Nan but the Rat!
In fact, Brother Hai wasn’t someone to be underestimated. Although he looked like an ordinary citizen with his stout build, he was quite ruthless. The reason he became prison mates with Gao Hu was that he was an accomplice in Gao Hu's bank robbery, having shot and killed two bank tellers!
If Brother Hai didn’t have some skills, he wouldn’t be called "Brother Hai" by others. His greatest strength was his powerful grip, especially with his left hand since he was naturally left-handed!
At the last moment, Brother Hai suddenly threw the stone in his hand, hitting the Rat squarely on the forehead. With a loud thud, they heard the Rat clutching his head and screaming!
As a volley of bullets was fired, Brother Hai fell into a pool of blood on the ground, while the Rat hunched over in anger and shouted to the Mighty Bull behind him, "This Zhang Hai is such a coward; if I don't turn him into a pile of mush, I won't feel satisfied!"
In the meantime, a group of Zombies had already rushed over and pounced on the fallen Brother Hai. Dozens of Zombies, like evil spirits, crazily fought for their meal. In less than half a minute, Brother Hai was reduced to a puddle of minced flesh and broken bones, truly fulfilling the Rat's wish!
Seeing the Zombies approaching, the Mighty Bull immediately raised his Submachine Gun and began to spray bullets. However, while one row of Zombies fell, two more rows surged forward. It seemed that these Zombies were endless!
At this moment, Li Nan shouted, "Look! Zombies are pouring in from all directions; you can't kill them all!"
The Rat looked over and indeed saw that the situation was no longer just about those ten or so Zombies from earlier!
Cursing inwardly, the Rat said, "We need to get out of here! Let's retreat back to the base!"
Turning around, he noticed Li Nan and the others and immediately asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Li Nan smiled and replied, "Just a Survivor in this apocalypse. However, if possible, I would be very willing to join your team!"
