There is a saying that goes, "Throwing a detonator into a toilet—stirring up public anger." This phrase, while somewhat biased, captures part of the sentiment of the current situation.
Behind Gate 6, there was a sudden explosion, followed by various bits of flesh and viscous liquid splattering everywhere, far more disgusting than the filth in a latrine.
After about ten seconds, the shockwave from the grenade had dissipated. Zhang Li was about to enter the door first but was stopped by Li Nan. "Let's wait a bit longer; it's better to be cautious!"
Li Nan's concern was that there might still be zombies inside, which is why he prevented Zhang Li from entering. Zhang Li understood Li Nan's intention and said, "We can't see anything inside; are we just going to wait out here?"
Indeed, not being able to determine whether it was safe behind Gate 6 was quite a headache.
Li Nan fiddled with the Wolf Eye Flashlight in his hand. Although this flashlight had a long range, its small size limited the area it could illuminate. Even using several together might not cover everything.
At that moment, Li Nan had a thought and noticed another use for the Wolf Eye Flashlight.
Li Nan asked Liu Ziming, "Is this Wolf Eye Flashlight battery-operated?"
Liu Ziming nodded. "Don't underestimate its small size; it can provide illumination for up to 48 hours. The secret lies in its battery—military-grade quality guaranteed."
The Wolf Eye Flashlight in Li Nan's hand was passed to him by Liu Ziming. Hearing Liu Ziming's words, he had already been fiddling with the flashlight and managed to extract a battery.
Seeing this, Liu Ziming found it strange and asked Li Nan, "Why did you take it apart?"
Li Nan smiled and said, "The electrolyte inside this battery contains Ammonium Chloride. This substance has mild corrosive properties and will react chemically with active metals like zinc to produce hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is flammable and can be used to create incendiary devices. Then we can determine if there are any zombies behind Gate 6!"
Liu Ziming was astonished by this revelation; who knew batteries could be used like this!
Li Nan pulled out a pair of medical rubber gloves from his pocket and awkwardly smiled, "I always carry these around!"
The task of damaging the battery and extracting its liquid was assigned to Liu Ziming. Although Li Nan was knowledgeable in medicine and science—a typical engineering type—he lacked practical skills.
Understanding Li Nan's intention, Liu Ziming used his Triangular Bayonet to flip off one end of the battery cap, revealing the black liquid inside, which he poured directly into Li Nan's rubber glove.
Li Nan removed the hard tip of his belt and quickly tossed it into a rubber glove, then swiftly tightened the cuff of the glove.
The hard tip of the belt contained a significant amount of zinc metal.
Li Nan weighed the tightly secured rubber glove a few times before quickly throwing it behind Door 6, quietly waiting for the chemical reaction inside the glove.
Due to the high temperature in this area, the chemical reaction occurred rapidly. In just three or four minutes, the rubber glove had already inflated. At this moment, Li Nan said, "Shoot and pop that glove!"
Before Zhang Li could act, Liu Ziming had already raised his gun. In an instant, the inflated rubber glove burst open. Since it contained a considerable amount of hydrogen gas, which is flammable, a massive fireball erupted, illuminating all areas behind Door 6.
As expected, Li Nan's best plan had come to fruition; there was nothing behind Door 6, no Zombies remained.
The nine Wolf Fang Soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, as if a terrifying ordeal was finally coming to an end. Liu Ziming admired Li Nan immensely and immediately said, "Well done, brother! I, Liu Ziming, have to give it to you; you really thought of this method!"
Li Nan smiled and replied, "What I did is nothing compared to your skills as Company Commander. Just relying on memory to hit a target in complete darkness is truly impressive. I was merely throwing out an idea!"
Liu Ziming gave a thumbs up and said, "You and Captain Zhang are both incredible!"
In terms of marksmanship, Liu Ziming's shot at the rubber glove was also quite impressive. However, compared to Zhang Li, there was still a difference; after all, Liu Ziming could see the inflated rubber glove when he shot.
Without further ado, since they had confirmed that it was safe behind Door 6, they needed to hurry inside and then exit from the large iron door to provide firsthand information to the ground troops.
However, once they entered through Door 6, Zhang Li and the others realized that something had gone wrong.
When they found the location of the iron door and examined it closely, they noticed many fist and handprints on it, indicating significant damage. From these marks, it was clear that this destruction was not caused by a single Zombie but rather by all the Zombies here charging together. Nevertheless, they ultimately did not succeed in breaking through. This also indicated that this five or six-centimeter-thick iron door was indeed difficult to breach.
The last grenade had already been used to eliminate one Zombie, so now they only had Submachine Guns left. Although the Thompson Submachine Gun is considered a heavy firearm, it is still classified as light weaponry and had little effect against this iron door.
Zhang Li and his team were troubled. Why did it feel like they were facing insurmountable obstacles?
Liu Ziming carefully examined the iron door for any gaps or weaknesses that he could exploit with their limited resources in order to breach it.
Li Nan had an idea for making a homemade incendiary device, but faced with such a large iron door, he felt helpless. Was he supposed to create C4 explosives on the spot?
At that moment, LiNan noticed HanGuang behind him, involuntarily looking up. LiNan felt surprised; what was this guy doing?
Throughout their descent to the UndergroundMorgue, HanGuang had hardly said anything or shown much of himself. Normally, someone like him, an experienced police officer, shouldn't behave so passively.
Following HanGuang's gaze, LiNan also tilted his head back to look up at a forty-five-degree angle, but he couldn't discern anything significant.
Suddenly, HanGuang noticed LiNan's movement and chuckled, "What are you looking at?"
LiNan was speechless; it was clearly him who was looking at something. However, he didn't voice this thought and instead said bleakly, "The current situation isn't optimistic. We might not be able to get out. I'm sorry for dragging you into this."
HanGuang shrugged it off, "You didn't drag me in; I came in on my own."
LiNan was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
HanGuang scratched his head; he had gotten drenched outside the corridor earlier, and his hair was still wet.
"The JiangbeiGovernment has its considerations. Due to the severe impact of the BeiyuanSquare case and subsequent military pressure, Jiangbei had to conceal the truth about the BeiyuanSquare incident from the public. That's why I came to find you to explain those matters!" HanGuang pulled out a cigarette from his pocket but was stopped by LiNan. "Right now, the UndergroundMorgue is a completely sealed system. Since the power system is down, the ventilation system must also be out of order. The air here is getting thinner, so you should refrain from smoking to avoid affecting the air quality."
HanGuang didn't insist and self-deprecatingly said, "It's an old habit; I feel uncomfortable if I don't smoke a few cigarettes. But this one is already wet and can't be smoked!" As he spoke, HanGuang threw the cigarette pack on the ground.
"If we can get out this time, I will never smoke again!"
LiNan laughed and said, "You're being quite unreasonable; you just taught me how to smoke, and now you want to quit!"
The two men laughed heartily, and then HanGuang said, "Do you know why I've been standing outside the JiangbeiHospital late at night?"
LiNan shook his head; this was something he had been pondering as well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged HanGuang underground.
HanGuang opened his mouth to speak: "After seeing you at the JiangbeiHospital, I had a strange feeling. I sensed that the apocalypse of 2012 hadn't arrived as expected; it had been delayed until 2014. Because of an unsettling emotion in my heart, I stayed outside the JiangbeiHospital. I wanted to see with my own eyes what it would be like when the apocalypse finally came."
Li Nan felt a sense of disbelief; Han Guang's words did not sound like something an experienced police officer would say, but rather the ramblings of a delusional person.
Seeing Li Nan's uncomfortable expression, Han Guang chuckled and said, "Whether we can get out is still a question. In this situation, it feels like the end of the world for us!"
Li Nan was unsure whether to respond to this statement or how to continue the conversation. Clearly, at this moment, he found Han Guang to be enigmatic and difficult to read.
After thirty seconds of silence, Han Guang spoke up first: "I found something that might be useful!"
Li Nan remained silent, merely staring at Han Guang, seemingly deep in thought.
Han Guang continued, "Look over there at the Corpse Storage Cabinet; there's something strange about it!"
At Han Guang's prompting, Li Nan snapped back to attention and turned to look in the direction he indicated. He saw a Corpse Storage Cabinet with its doors wide open, yet it was completely empty inside.
Li Nan couldn't discern any clues from it, but Han Guang remarked, "The issue isn't with the Corpse Storage Cabinet; it's what's above it that seems off!"
Only then did Li Nan understand why Han Guang was looking at a forty-five-degree angle. Above the cabinet was a Ventilation Duct, and the cover outside had vanished, revealing an opening about the size of a waist.
