The material of the outer door is definitely not iron, as it needs to block radiation. It should be a type of material mixed with lead and plastic. One can imagine that its hardness and strength are absolutely insufficient, to the point where Li Nan feels that this door might not hold for ten minutes!
The door trembles incessantly, and Li Nan is sweating. In such a situation, how should he respond?
Although the encounters in the Underground Morgue each have their dangers, they are not something Li Nan has to face alone. With collective effort, they manage to navigate through without major incidents. Li Nan seems to think he has made some progress, but upon suddenly entering a confined space, he realizes he hasn't improved much at all!
Compared to Li Nan, Mo Xiaohui is not as frightened, which surprises him. "Maybe those Zombies will rush in soon, and we might end up as their next meal!"
Mo Xiaohui remains calm. "When I was alone before, watching people around me die one by one and turn into Zombies, my world completely collapsed. The loneliness was inescapable, and despair followed me like a shadow. I even thought about suicide; I didn't want to become that filthy thing. But now it's different. With you by my side, I feel much safer. You'll protect me, right?"
Li Nan is taken aback. Although this woman is about the same age as him, her experiences in Jiangbei Hospital have transformed her from being sharp and capable to much simpler. In such a perilous environment, it's better not to see too clearly; if a person leaves no hope for themselves, life becomes very bitter!
Li Nan suddenly smiles. "I will protect you. I brought you and Liu Ziming out; this is not a path of death but a path of hope!"
Li Nan doesn't know where his bold words come from; perhaps it's just a man's instinctive reaction to say grand things in front of a beautiful woman!
The iron door behind them shakes continuously, and the iron chain locking it seems unable to hold for much longer. A gap has already formed, allowing several filthy hands to reach through like moths drawn to a flame.
After ensuring Mo Xiaohui is stable—or rather after being stabilized by her—Li Nan considers how to make this door hold longer. He thinks of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner he had just used to check Liu Ziming's condition; that thing is large enough that blocking it behind the door might buy them some time!
Li Nan calls out to Mo Xiaohui and enters the examination room. The two of them struggle but cannot move the MRI machine at all, which troubles Li Nan greatly. Moreover, this simple defense feels too passive; lacking an advantage means they will be trapped here indefinitely. Time waits for no one, and Li Nan is eager to charge out and battle those Zombies head-on!
Now it’s early morning in late autumn, with outdoor temperatures around ten degrees Celsius. Although conditions inside the hospital are slightly better at about seventeen or eighteen degrees, this temperature feels refreshing for humans but may not be ideal for Zombies. Zombies prefer warmth; while it's unclear if hotter temperatures are better for them, at this temperature their movements are relatively slow compared to the Red-Eyed Man from Beiyuan Square last night—they should be heavier and more sluggish.
Li Nan begins mentally weighing his options. At Beiyuan Square, he dared confront that Zombie because he had a Fire Axe in hand; now he only has a twenty-centimeter surgical knife while facing six or seven Zombies. Clearly, whether comparing vertically or horizontally, Li Nan holds no advantage. However, this is not a time for him to choose!
With one patient and one woman needing his protection, this responsibility is something Li Nan has never encountered before. He does not intend to let Mo Xiaohui and Liu Ziming down; thus he must muster his courage and strive to carve out a path of hope for their trio!
Li Nan put his hands in his pockets, only to find them empty. When he suddenly turned around, he saw Mo Xiaohui crouched down, ready for battle, holding a surgical knife in her hand!
"I already gave the surgical knife to Mo Xiaohui; my memory is really terrible!" Li Nan looked around and noticed three carbon dioxide fire extinguishers next to the door.
Without thinking much, Li Nan picked up one of the fire extinguishers and weighed it in his hand. It felt decent; it could serve as a weapon.
The door to Radiology trembled, seemingly unable to withstand any more impacts. Li Nan made a quick decision, stepped forward, and opened the fire extinguisher, spraying it through the gap in the door.
The high-pressure carbon dioxide shot out from the nozzle, and just then, a zombie had its head stuck in the door gap. This was a chilling surprise!
The zombie immediately stopped moving, its face and body covered in a layer of frost, and its clawing hands and feet also ceased their actions!
Li Nan was overjoyed and continued spraying carbon dioxide. He then clumsily used the fire extinguisher to smash at the hands and feet of the zombies reaching in.
With several loud thuds, a few withered hands and feet were smashed into bloody pulp!
Li Nan thought there was an opportunity and wanted to grab another fire extinguisher to continue, but as he bent down, he realized that the large door in front of him could no longer bear the weight and was instantly pushed down by the zombies behind it!
Li Nan was alarmed and shouted, "Mo Xiaohui, run!"
Just as he said this, Li Nan nimbly dodged the collapsing door, but Mo Xiaohui was not so fortunate; she reacted too late and had her left foot pinned under the door panel!
"Ah!" Mo Xiaohui gasped inwardly as beads of sweat dripped down her face. Meanwhile, six or seven zombies rushed in from behind the door, crazed with frenzy!
Along with the falling door panel came a zombie that had been clinging to it. The zombie lay on the ground with its head directly facing Mo Xiaohui's left foot. It immediately caught a whiff of her scent and pounced without hesitation!
Mo Xiaohui gritted her teeth against the pain in her foot, trying to pull herself free but found it too heavy to lift with her own strength.
Just as Mo Xiaohui hesitated, the Zombie crawling on the ground was already within reach!
With its two slender arms, covered in bark-like patterns, its skin rotting and sunken, it was a horrifying sight. The two hands, stained with flesh and blood, had already climbed restlessly onto Mo Xiaohui's left leg!
At that moment, Mo Xiaohui's expression was remarkably calm, as if she had experienced such a scene before. It was a matter of life or death; sometimes it really wasn't a big deal, just like being in a vacuum where there was no room for overthinking!
A pair of filthy hands had already climbed up Mo Xiaohui's leg. In an instant, her previously prone body suddenly half-rose, holding a twenty-centimeter surgical knife, and thrust it fiercely forward!
The blade pierced the flesh as if it had punctured a water-filled balloon, making a "plop" sound as a thin, withered arm was nailed to the door panel!
Immediately after, there was a sound like smashing a watermelon. Li Nan had already rushed over, holding a Fire Extinguisher bottle in his hand, and smashed it directly onto the Zombie's head, leaving it bloodied and mangled!
In that instant, one eyeball popped out and landed steadily beside Mo Xiaohui's hand.
The eyeball spun like a top for several turns before finally stopping, its dull pupil facing Mo Xiaohui's eye socket!
Without thinking twice, Mo Xiaohui slapped at it with one hand, instantly turning it into a puddle of blood!
