So all you have to do is search for items and mechanisms, then lure the teams to key locations, activate the mechanisms, and you can eliminate a large number of people at once.
As long as the number of people remaining is kept to within ten, the spot in the finals should be secured.
After determining the direction, Zhang Nan led the two to search what he considered the key areas.
According to Zhang Nan's observation, this plague hospital area did not have only one morgue like other hospitals, but two: one was the clinical trial center that he and Wang Quan had visited, and the other was in the inpatient building.
The clues about the morgue and the petri dish samples should be related, which means that the game's design did not place such important things together to prevent other participants from having no other options to complete the task after the dummy sabotages the process.
He had no intention of escaping; surviving to safety for the next 24 hours was far more important than escaping. Compared to the fake humans who needed to frequently infect others, struggle, and run around just to survive, ordinary survivors would have a much better chance of surviving to the end simply by abandoning the mission and holding on.
Furthermore, after Zhang Nan led Wang Quan and Shen Yicheng to eliminate the imposters through a honey trap, she discovered that the production team did not intervene or issue any warnings. This means that the rules of the game are highly manipulable. Good people don't necessarily have to do good deeds; they can even help imposters do bad things. Similarly, bad people don't necessarily have to do bad things.
After confirming the rules, Zhang Nan realized there was even more he could do. He had an even bigger plan.

Are you sure there are important clues here?
Zhang Nan, who was leading the group, pointed to the operating room in front of them. "It's right here. The operating room is where we synthesize the serum. We have enough of the other materials to synthesize the serum, but six people must be present in the operating room at the same time to start the serum synthesis. We only have three people, so we can't start it. If you don't believe me, you can send three people in with us to make the serum, but the finished serum will belong to the three of us."
After hearing the explanation, the eight-person team breathed a sigh of relief. They had three people helping them and got a clue for free. It seemed like a huge win. Of course, they still needed to verify it beforehand.
Three members of the team, along with Zhang Nan, Wang Quan, and Chen Yicheng, entered the operating room.
Those outside saw that after the six people went in, the operating room door was completely closed and could not be opened. Afterwards, some faint, rustling sounds could be heard from inside from time to time. The rest of the people watched the operating room door warily.
Fortunately, after about ten or twenty minutes, the operating room door opened, and their partners came out with happy expressions.
Zhang Nan and the other two were the last to come out.
The eight-person team chatted with the three newly arrived members, and the team leader solemnly thanked Zhang Nan and the other two.
"Thank you for giving us such an important clue. If you need any help later, please don't hesitate to ask."
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "It's alright, we're just helping each other out. You've already helped us. If there's nothing else, we'll go look for other clues first."
The team watched the three leave, then excitedly prepared to go into the operating room.
Since there are eight of them, two of them will stay outside alone. They had already gathered all the other materials for the serum, but they hadn't been able to find a place to synthesize it. Now, the clues have come knocking on their door—it's like a gift from heaven!
The six people carried the materials into the operating room, and the crisp sound of the door closing echoed in the empty rooftop corridor.
The two people waiting at the door suddenly realized that Zhang Nan and the other two, who had already left, had returned.
The two were puzzled. "Why are you back again? Did you leave something behind?"
Shen Yicheng grinned maliciously and said with a smile, "He did poop something."
The three quickly subdued the two people at the door, but instead of eliminating them immediately, they tied them up and left them aside. Eliminating them directly and announcing it over the loudspeaker might alert the other two.
Shen Yicheng realized that he had learned a lot from Zhang Nan. Looking at the two people who were tied up, gagged, and glaring at him angrily, he actually found it amusing. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Don't you know that? Pie doesn't fall from the sky."
Zhang Nan made the most of these two people, and Shen Yicheng and Wang Quan each infected one of them, which was just enough to complete this one-hour pseudo-human survival task.
Wang Quan sighed. He was only now realizing what kind of pirate ship he'd boarded. His two teammates, Zhang Nan and Shen Yicheng, were one utterly wicked and the other utterly detestable. He could only try to avoid the gaze of the two tied-up men; looking at him was useless, didn't they see that out of the three of them, he had no say? Life was truly tough, sighed the pig.
After teasing them for a while, Shen Yicheng realized that the two of them had run out of new fun, so he got up to look at Zhang Nan.
"How is it? Has the mechanism been activated?"
Zhang Nan didn't respond, but he quickly entered the password, and only relaxed his brow when the red light came on.
"One of you come over here to verify the wristband."
Shen Yicheng happened to be nearby and simply tapped his wristband on the combination lock on the door.
After the combination lock beeps, the display shows that the ultraviolet light has been turned on.
Zhang Nan stared at the operating room, and sure enough, sounds came from inside.
"What's going on?! Why are the lights on?!"
"Look at your bracelet! Your health is dropping rapidly!"
"I only have one bar of health left?! My health is almost gone!"
"Open the door! We need to get out!"
After the frantic knocking, Zhang Nan listened to the announcements of eliminations coming over the loudspeaker. After counting to the sixth person, the announcement stopped for a while, and there was no further sound. The people inside were cursing and saying discouraging things. Then Zhang Nan said to Shen Yicheng beside him, "We can start now."
The two, gagged and bound, were infected and eliminated from the game amidst their terrified expressions.
"There are still 36 people left. How come there are still so many people? We need to speed things up."
Looking at Zhang Nan's expression, Wang Quan couldn't help but shudder. Most of the people eliminated were done by this devil Zhang Nan, who even complained that it was too slow and wanted to speed things up. He was truly insane.
Zhang Nan looked at the sky outside the window. "It's time to eat something. We'll be better prepared for the night. I hope the night will be more interesting than the day. I'm so looking forward to it."
Shen Yicheng couldn't help but complain, "That's really perverted."
Wang Quan could only silently agree in his heart. He always felt that Zhang Nan was brewing some new evil tricks again, and he wondered which of the remaining people would be lucky enough to be the first to experience Zhang Nan's perverted tricks.
