The Rat looked around and discovered that a large group of Zombies was closing in. Glancing at Li Nan, he smiled and said, "It's fate that we meet, so come with us!"
As he spoke, the Rat had already jumped into the passenger seat, while Li Nan called out to Mo Xiaohui and Li Dapeng, "Let's go! Get in the car!"
Bitter Melon and the Rat were in front, while Mighty Bull and Li Nan followed behind. As Bitter Melon turned the steering wheel, the car made a sharp 180-degree turn, heading straight towards the Control Room behind them.
The Zombies surged like a tide behind them, but Bitter Melon's driving skills were impressive. With a swift maneuver, he shook off several Zombies that had lunged at the back of the car. Then he accelerated, creating some distance from the horde.
In the back seat, Li Nan kept his eyes on the buildings ahead. Within two minutes, they arrived at the sports arena.
Bitter Melon honked the horn urgently, and the Rat leaned out of the passenger window, shouting, "Open the damn door! The Zombies are right behind us!"
In front of the arena stood a large iron gate, flanked by high walls. On top of the walls stood three men on each side, armed with heavy machine guns, guarding the entrance.
One Machine Gunner called out to those inside, "Open the gate! Hurry up!"
It seemed that the heavy iron gate was not easy to move. After a series of clanking sounds from chains being pulled, the gate slowly opened just enough for a Honda Car to pass through.
Bitter Melon cursed under his breath and drove through. Hot on their heels, a swarm of Zombies surged in after them!
Just as the iron gate was about to close, it was blocked by the rushing Zombies. The six Machine Gunners on top of the walls unleashed a barrage of gunfire at the Zombies below!
As Bitter Melon was about to drive inside, a line of men armed with Submachine Guns emerged from behind the iron gate and opened fire on the Zombies at the entrance!
The sound of bullets ricocheting filled the air as Li Nan in the Honda Car felt a shiver run down his spine. "These guys have so many firearms!"
While those on either side cleared space around the gate, others began pulling several chains. The large iron gate slowly started to close!
As the gap between the two large iron doors grew smaller, everyone let out a sigh of relief. However, just as the doors were about to close completely, a Zombie suddenly burst out from behind, wedging its head in the gap. Before long, three or four more Zombies squeezed their half-bodies in, causing the iron doors to halt due to the obstruction. No matter how hard the person pulling the iron chain tried, the doors simply would not close!
There were simply too many Zombies. The six Machine Gunners on top of the high wall fired in unison but could not stop the advancing Zombies. The gap, wide enough for a head, was being pushed larger by the relentless surge of Zombies from behind. Among the crowd, a person who appeared to be in charge shouted, "Set up iron nets and barriers! We must not let the Zombies break in!"
The three or four Zombies stuck in the door had already been shot through the forehead, yet their bodies remained lodged in the gap. With an endless stream of Zombies behind them, it was clear that this iron door would not hold much longer!
Bitter Melon parked the vehicle to one side and immediately jumped down, grabbing a Submachine Gun before rushing forward to fire. He shouted, "Quickly report to the Host that there's trouble at the front gate!"
A figure resembling a Little Nurse dashed back into the building while Bitter Melon moved directly to the large iron door. He discarded his gun and instead pulled out a Silver Cleaver from his waist, hacking fiercely at the Zombies stuck in the door. In no time, he turned them into mush. However, this was not the end; after clearing those bodies, more Zombies charged in without pause!
Bitter Melon spat and yelled at Rat behind him, "This won't do! If we don't block this door, this base is finished!"
Rat thought deeply and cursed inwardly, "It's all that damn Zhang Hai's fault! If he hadn't led the Zombies here, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
At that moment, Mighty Bull had also jumped down from the vehicle and approached a pile of Pulleys. He shouted to several people nearby, "Everyone step aside! Let me handle this!"
The large iron door was heavy and controlled by two Pulleys. Two thick iron chains were pulled down from above and held tightly in hand; it generally took three or four people working together to open or close it!
Mighty Bull dismissed everyone else and gripped one of the chains with both arms. He lowered his body and exerted tremendous force; however, when the two iron doors almost met, they were stuck due to several bodies wedged in between.
With a loud roar, Mighty Bull used all his strength but still could not make those two iron doors close even slightly!
Rat watched closely from the side as neither side could close the door while more Zombies surged behind it like a tide. It seemed they would soon exploit this gap to break in. "What are we going to do now?"
Rat's mind raced quickly as he prepared for a hasty escape!
Li Nan observed the rolling tide of corpses behind the wall, estimating that there were at least eight hundred, if not a thousand. It seemed that Brother Hai's blood was quite effective, as it had attracted so many Zombies!
The number of Zombies was still increasing. If Li Nan wanted to take action, now was the time.
The impact of eight hundred Zombies would be immense; it was like standing under the Huangguoshu Waterfall trying to wash your hair—could you still stand upright? While others might not have this capability, Li Nan was willing to give it a try!
Looking at the somewhat flustered Rat, Li Nan said, "I might have a way to close that big door!"
Upon hearing this, Rat's expression changed immediately. "Oh! What method do you have, brother?"
Li Nan smiled and replied, "With my two arms, I can close that iron door!"
Rat showed a look of surprise. "You can do something even Mighty Bull can't?"
"I can give it a try!" Li Nan rolled up his sleeves and spat into his hands, rubbing them together before turning to Bitter Melon, who was walking in front of him. "Please make some room for me!"
Seeing Li Nan's demeanor, Bitter Melon still looked as if he had been wronged by everyone in the world.
However, Bitter Melon did step aside for Li Nan. Although his expression didn't change, there was a hint of eagerness to witness Li Nan's futile attempt.
Li Nan spread his legs apart and slammed his feet heavily on the ground. Then with a powerful shout, he pressed both of his iron-like arms against the two door panels. As he slightly spread his fingers and took a deep breath, a surge of energy flowed from his Viscera directly into his arms!
His iron arms suddenly became as solid as steel, with veins bulging out prominently. The explosive force gathered from his humerus to his radius and then to his wrist bones, finally reaching his metacarpals. With this chain reaction, Li Nan's palms exerted tremendous force, causing the iron doors to creak ominously!
Mighty Bull watched in astonishment; how could an ordinary person accomplish such a feat?
However, the next scene left Mighty Bull even more astonished. The two iron doors swung shut, and the several Zombie corpses caught in between were crushed into a pulp, as if sliced by a guillotine!
"Ha!" Li Nan exerted his strength and shouted, finally managing to close the heavy iron door. At this moment, Mighty Bull's jaw had already dropped to the ground!
With the heavy iron door closed, the base was temporarily safe. Although the Zombies outside surged like a tide, they would never be able to break through these high walls and iron barriers!
Mouse clapped his hands while walking over to put an arm around Li Nan's shoulder. "Brother, you have some skills! I underestimated you earlier, but with that move, not to mention Zombies, even those mutated monsters would be no challenge at all!"
Hearing this, Li Nan chuckled, "So you know who I am now?"
Mouse kept his arm around Li Nan's shoulder, seemingly having developed a close bond. "That Black-Furred Giant Spider is dead, and Zhang Hai is also dead. Even if there were some misunderstandings, what’s there to explain? Besides, the most important thing is that you said before you wanted to join our group, so from now on we’re family, haha!"
Li Nan nodded in agreement. "May I ask how to address you, big brother?"
Mouse was very friendly. "Don’t be so formal; just call me Mouse. Given your skills, I should be calling you brother instead!"
Li Nan secretly laughed to himself. "Brother Hai died at your hands; it seems you really are sweet-tongued yet treacherous!"
"Li Nan, just call me Li Nan!"
"Brother Nan!" Mouse happily called out and then turned to Mighty Bull beside them. "What are you dawdling for? Go inform Boss that we have another good brother joining us!"
Mouse glanced over and noticed that Li Nan had a child and a woman with him. "Are these two perhaps Brother Nan's wife and child?"
Li Nan wanted to clarify but found himself agreeing instead. "Yes, they are my wife and child!"
The Rat laughed and said, "Brother Nan is so fortunate; his wife is beautiful, and his nephew is clever. It's enviable!"
Li Nan didn't want to engage in such trivial matters and simply said, "Once that big door closes, will we be safe? There are countless Zombies out there!"
"Don't worry, Brother Nan. In a bit, we'll send out a few brothers to get twenty or thirty guns. Even if three thousand Flying Tigers gather outside, each of us has enough bullets to deal with them!"
"It seems you have plenty of firearms and ammunition!" Li Nan asked casually, while the Rat chuckled, "If it weren't for these guns, we wouldn't have survived until now!"
The Rat feigned ignorance and quickly added, "Look at my brain! Brother Nan has come from afar; I should invite you in for a cup of tea first!"
Li Nan smiled and said, "That's not necessary!"
The Rat put his arm around Li Nan's shoulder, insisting, "It is necessary! Once Brother Nan finishes a cup of tea, you'll get to meet our boss!"
Li Nan responded with an "Oh," then knowingly asked, "What is your boss's name?"
The Rat smiled and replied, "Our big brother is Liu Long, Dragon Soars Nine Five; he is our Host!"
