What exactly happened at the Medical Research Center Building? Who was the one that set a trap for Li Nan using a mirror? And why did the Gorilla suddenly disappear? These questions had been lingering in Li Nan's mind, leaving him with no clues.
Sitting inside the armored vehicle with a transparent windshield, Li Nan sighed heavily. Fatty, on the other hand, laughed and said, "Brother Nan, what's wrong? Didn't you enjoy escaping from death?"
Li Nan grinned, "You're the only one who seems to have such good luck; you can't die no matter what!"
Fatty turned the steering wheel, taking the armored vehicle down another route. He then said, "I think we have enough fuel in this vehicle, so let's take a few more detours to prevent anything suspicious from following us back to the camp!"
"You, Fatty, are quite bold yet meticulous!"
Fatty laughed at Bitter Melon behind him, "See? You got to witness my skills today!"
Bitter Melon, with three broken ribs and a pale face, replied, "Your skills? Besides bragging, what else do you have?"
Fatty snorted but then asked Lin Hai, "So, how about my bragging skills? Impressive, right?"
The people in the armored vehicle burst into laughter. Fatty then pulled off the burden he had been carrying and said, "Brother Nan, you know your stuff; take a look at which one is the Rattlesnake's Snake Venom Antidote!"
Li Nan took the burden from Fatty and opened it to find more than a dozen glass tubes filled with liquid.
"What is this..." Li Nan exclaimed in surprise. Fatty explained, "I found a safe in that coded room and got these out. I don't know which one can save Brother Three!"
Li Nan examined them and said, "They are indeed all Snake Venom Antidotes. However, depending on the type of snake, the toxins vary, so naturally, the antidotes will be different!" Li Nan picked up a fiberglass tube labeled with the initials RA and continued, "RA are the first two letters of Rattlesnake in English; this must be what Brother Three needs!"
Fatty clicked his tongue and said, "Is it that simple?"
"Of course it's that simple; how complicated could it be?"
"I thought you could determine which one is the Rattlesnake's Snake Venom Antidote by analyzing its components. Turns out it's just about looking at the label; that's too..."
Li Nan interrupted, saying, "So easy, right? But this is the power of knowledge!"
Fatty was speechless, wearing an expression that suggested he felt tricked, while Li Nan remained unconcerned. "Let's hurry up and get the Snake Venom Antidote back to the camp so we can relax."
Fatty nodded, slightly increasing the speed of the vehicle.
In fact, Fatty was aware that the armored vehicle's engine had sustained some damage; traveling at seventy or eighty kilometers per hour was already its limit.
At that moment, Lin Hai in the back seat spoke up, "What about that Rat? After we played with him like this, do you think he might be dead?"
Bitter Melon chimed in, "It would be best if that Rat is dead. If he’s not, we’ll be in trouble. That guy is known for holding grudges!"
Li Nan didn’t think much of Rat; if he died, it would serve him right. After all, he had dared to use Liu Xiaofei's death to threaten Li Nan. Allowing someone like him to live would mean Li Nan would have to live under his control in the future, which was something Li Nan absolutely opposed! That’s why he took the opportunity to set a trap for Rat while getting Brother Three the Snake Venom Antidote.
It was quite coincidental that Rat proposed a trip to Jiangbei Hospital, which perfectly masked Li Nan and his group's true intentions. Using what Rat said against him to bring about his demise was truly a two-for-one deal.
Thinking about Rat reminded Li Nan of that strange light from before. Who was using a mirror to play tricks?
Considering the commotion near Jiangbei Hospital, Rat would definitely not come out unscathed. But could that mirror have been his doing?
Li Nan nodded and shook his head. Given Rat's character, once he realized he had been tricked, he would surely become furious and reveal his murderous intent. However, it didn’t seem like something Rat would do; he should have been in danger himself at that time. How could he have had the chance to plot against Li Nan?
After the Medical Research Center building collapsed, it would undoubtedly affect several nearby buildings. The floor where Rat was located at that time would certainly not be safe. If he had still been upstairs during the collapse, he must have died among the rubble. If he wasn’t in that building but had already come down, he wouldn’t have been able to deal with the Zombie horde and the subsequent appearance of Gorillas; thus, his fate would also be sealed!
As for the last speculation, Li Nan had always doubted it. If after Li Nan and his group arrived at the Medical Research Center Building, Rat sensed something unusual, he would definitely return along the same route and drive his off-road vehicle back to camp. However, during their escape, that off-road vehicle parked nearby hadn’t moved at all; this meant it was impossible for Rat to have escaped!
But was this really the case? Li Nan still had doubts because after all, without seeing a body, it wasn’t wise to rashly conclude the fate of a cunning person!
Regardless of Rat's outcome, Li Nan felt that the person who used a mirror against him couldn’t possibly be Rat. If that were true, did it mean there were other living people nearby at that time?
At that moment, Li Nan's mind buzzed. The first thing he thought of was the identity-concealing Han Guang. Could it be that Han Guang hadn't left and had been lingering here just to kill him?
Li Nan couldn't help but smile wryly; that was impossible. Although Han Guang's identity might be fake, he would never want to put Li Nan in danger. After all, at Jiangbei Hospital, Han Guang had countless opportunities to strike, yet Li Nan had come out unscathed.
The reason Li Nan thought of Han Guang was entirely due to what the Rat had said earlier. He mentioned that a police officer had been hovering around the vicinity of Jiangbei Hospital. In hindsight, this was clearly a logical trap. The Rat must have learned something on the side to make such a statement; it was merely an attempt to lure Li Nan into a trap. The Rat was clever; he had gone through so much effort to lead Li Nan toward Jiangbei Hospital—was it really just to offer Brother Long a tank?
There were obvious inconsistencies in this situation!
The Rat was undoubtedly a hidden ambitious person. He killed Zhang Hai and designed a way to catch Li Nan off guard, attempting to use Liu Xiaofei's death to control him. Therefore, his intentions for going to Jiangbei Hospital could not possibly be just for a tank—absolutely not!
Thinking of this, Li Nan couldn't help but furrow his brows; the strangeness of the situation exceeded his imagination!
Setting aside the Rat's motives, who exactly was the one secretly pulling the strings? Could there really be someone beyond his understanding involved?
Fatty looked at Li Nan, whose face was tightly furrowed, and asked, "Nan Ge, what's wrong?"
Li Nan came back to his senses and replied blankly, "Nothing, what's up?"
Fatty smiled and said, "We've arrived at the camp; you can get out now!"
Li Nan looked outside and saw that they were indeed inside the camp. However, during the latter half of the journey, he felt dizzy, completely confused by the actions of that mysterious person!
Li Nan responded with an "oh," kicked open the left side door, and jumped out.
The door next to Fatty had already been removed by Li Nan earlier, so he got out quickly without needing to open it.
Following closely behind, Bitter Melon and Lin Hai also jumped down. Just as the four of them were preparing to head toward Li Nan's Small Buildings, a familiar figure rushed over.
Li Nan recognized that person—it was A Fei!
Seeing A Fei's panicked expression, Li Nan had a bad feeling.
"A Fei, what's going on? Why are you in such a rush?" Li Nan asked.
A Fei looked sorrowful. "I heard that Brother Nan and Bitter Melon Brother have returned, so I rushed out immediately. It's because something big has happened!"
Li Nan was surprised. "What big thing?"
A Fei said with deep sorrow, "Brother Three... is dead!"
"What?" Li Nan couldn't help but shout, "How could that be?"
Fatty dropped the fiberglass tube marked RA to the ground, and Bitter Melon completely turned into a bitter melon at that moment.
Once Li Nan regained his composure, he shouted, "Let's go back to Small Buildings. I want to see Brother Three for myself; if he's alive, we need to see him, and if he's dead, we need to verify it!"
Lin Hai was surprised by Li Nan's words. "What does Brother Nan mean? Is there something suspicious about Brother Three's death?"
"Whether there's something suspicious or not will be clear at a glance. I know Brother Three's condition best; if he could hold on for another three days, there would be absolutely no problem. How could it be now that..."
A Fei leaned in and quietly told Li Nan and Bitter Melon, "Although we have no evidence, Brother Three's death is definitely not an accident!"
At that moment, Fatty was furious and immediately yelled, "Liu Long, Gao Hu, damn it! If you dare to harm Brother Three, I will kill you today!" After saying that, Fatty turned to leave, but Bitter Melon reached out to stop him. "What are you planning to do?"
Fatty shouted, "Isn't it obvious? Those two must be behind this. I want to avenge Brother Three!"
Bitter Melon questioned, "Are you so sure?"
Fatty shrugged off his shoulder and shouted, "It's as clear as day! Don't try to stop me!"
As Fatty was striding forward to find Liu Long and Gao Hu, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder, rendering him unable to move.
Fatty turned around to see it was Li Nan.
Li Nan looked at the furious Fatty and said word by word, "There's no rush for revenge. First, let's take a look at Brother Three, then we'll decide what to do. When the time comes, we'll settle scores with those guys!"
Fatty let out a loud roar, his face filled with emotion, and immediately said, "Alright, I'll listen to you, Nan. We need to send Brother Three off properly first!"
Li Nan patted Fatty on the shoulder and then shouted to the other men nearby, "Let's go! We are going to send Brother Three off!"
"Send Brother Three off!" several burly men shouted in unison, filled with grief and indignation.
Meanwhile, a few Gunslingers guarding the iron gate murmured sadly, "How could Brother Three... weren't we told he was fine before?"
One person nearby whispered, "Don't say that! Be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself!"
The Gunslinger suddenly realized and immediately covered his mouth. "I didn't say anything; you didn't hear anything, right?"
