Under Lin Tantan's death threat, no one dared to do anything small. They just called Min Yande back honestly, not daring to say a single code word, only saying that a very important person had come to see him.
After that, everyone counted the time, wishing that Min Yande would come back immediately, or that the half hour would pass more slowly.
Lin Tantan was getting a little bored while waiting, so she started to torment these people in various ways. For example, for the one with the thunder ability who she stuck into the ground, she would cover his mouth and nose from time to time. For the one who she initially put in the earthen coffin with a fire underneath, she would light the fire from time to time to give him a one-stop roasting service.
It makes people cry out in frustration.
You have to tell a bad thing you have done in order to be let off, and the authenticity of the thing has to be judged by others. Once it is said that it is exaggerated, you have to tell it again.
Others noticed that Lin Tantan would only move on to the next target after torturing one target, and they wished that she would torment others for a longer time, so they would try their best to find fault with what that person said, in order to prolong the unlucky person's "torture" time and buy themselves more breathing space.
Lin Tantan said that the world is so fickle. She didn't do anything, but these people started fighting among themselves.
These people said, "Is this still nothing? He's simply the devil, okay?"
Fortunately, Min Yande finally came back half an hour later.
He also brought back more than a hundred people.
He didn't know who was looking for him, but when he asked, the person who notified him hesitated. He could also sense that the person had bad intentions, so he brought back all the people he had taken out.
What he saw when he came back confirmed his guess. All his men were knocked down, and they looked extremely miserable. There seemed to be only one person who came to mess things up, and she was a girl who looked to be in her early twenties!
The alarm bells in Min Yande's heart sounded, and he immediately asked people to prepare for battle.
There were over a hundred, nearly two hundred people, all of them tall and strong men, and they looked quite imposing standing together. But even though these people surrounded the courtyard inside and out as soon as they returned, Lin Tantan, sitting in a rattan chair by the table, still looked relaxed and comfortable, not afraid at all. He even looked Min Yande up and down: "You are Min Yande, much fatter than you look in the photo."
She gestured with her fingers: "One fat man has become two."
Seeing this little girl bossing him around and clearly looking down on him, Min Yande burst out laughing: "Little girl, who are you? Who sent you here?"
Daying, who had been following him closely, knew who Lin Tantan was when he saw her, and also knew that his mission was almost completed. When he heard Min Yande's question, he frowned slightly in surprise. Lin Tantan also had an expression on his face as if to say, "You don't even know me."
She said leisurely, "It's okay if others don't recognize me, but you don't recognize me either. So let me remind you, you've targeted me twice, causing me quite a bit of trouble."
Min Yande thought for a long time, and suddenly noticed that her left hand was not exposed, and her sleeves were tied up, which looked a little strange. Suddenly he realized: "You are the five-element superpower!"
His eyes gleamed, and his face was filled with excitement, as if he had seen a plump lamb that had offered itself to him. "I couldn't catch you before, but now you've come to me! Catch her for me!"
Lin Tan Tan held his chin and looked at the greedy and excited expression on his fleshy face, then turned away with disgust. It was really depressing that such a stupid and ugly person had once been Ye Xiao's superior.
In fact, Min Yande was not like this before the end of the world. Although he was a little fat, he had a military demeanor and looked upright. It was only after the end of the world that he gradually became like this.
Min Yande was irritated by the disdain in her eyes and shouted orders even more angrily. As he gave the order, the others were about to attack when Lin Tantan suddenly said loudly, "It seems you don't want the lives of these thirty-odd people anymore."
The crowd paused their attack and looked at the people in the yard who were stabbed, buried in the ground, and trapped in various positions. These people were looking at them with hopeful and pleading eyes.
After all, they were companions. They hesitated, and Min Yande's mouth twitched: "Then what are you going to do to let them go?"
Lin Tan Tan said, "Am I that stupid to let them go and then let you guys come together to beat me up? It's fine if you want me to let them go, but you let me beat them up first to vent my anger."
Min Yande's eyes twitched. He let her beat him up, and what would happen after that? Would she be so kind as to let him go? And if he surrendered to such a little girl and got beaten up in front of so many of his men, what kind of prestige would he have in the future?
Min Yande didn't move, obviously unwilling to accept her conditions.
Lin Tan Tan sighed: "You provoked me first. I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges. This time I am only looking for trouble with you. These people are also implicated by you. As long as you let me vent this anger, I will not touch anyone here. But if you don't cooperate, then I can't guarantee that innocent people will not be harmed." After she finished speaking, she shrugged, looking helpless.
Min Yande wanted to tickle her to death. This was simply a divisive ploy. He didn't believe it was as easy as she said. However, although it was a very superficial and crude divisive ploy, it did work. The thirty or so people under her control stared at him closely. The few who could still speak said directly, "Just let her beat you up."
Min Yande was extremely angry. When he was still General Min, none of his subordinates dared to speak to him like that!
Min Yande said, "Shut up!" He pointed at Lin Tan and said, "Would I fall for your trick? Everyone, listen up! Come on, attack her together! Can she really fight a hundred people alone?"
However, just as he finished speaking, before he could hear anyone agree, the man he respected the most took a step back and said in a dull voice, "I can't watch my former comrades who once fought side by side with me risk their lives. I'm just going to beat you up. In exchange for the safety of our brothers, you sacrifice yourself."
Min Yande turned to look at Daying in disbelief, but saw the same indifference on the man's face as in his voice.
He was furious: "You——"
Daying said, "You are no longer the same Chief Min. The brothers are willing to follow you because they trust you and care about our friendship. Now everyone was arrested because of you. You can't just think about yourself."
As he spoke, the others also showed signs of hesitation. They were facing a five-element psychic. Furthermore, although the remaining brothers only numbered about thirty, they were all quite capable. Yet, she had single-handedly dealt with them like this. If a fight broke out, who knew how many casualties there would be. Min Yande was giving orders from the back, but it was they who were charging in the front. If they were injured or killed, it would be them, not Min Yande, so he naturally didn't care.
Then think about it, this guy was brought here by Min Yande himself, and he also said that as long as he could vent his anger by beating Min Yande, he would let the others go...
It seems that there is no need to fight at all.
Lin Tantan glanced at Daying. This must be Ye Xiao's spy. Well, he is really cooperative.
Some of the things she said might not carry enough weight, but when they were said by "insiders", they were particularly powerful in shaking people's hearts.
But there are many people who are wavering, and many people want to capture Lin and talk to her. A person with five-element abilities is of great value. As Min Yande said, there are one or two hundred people on their side, but there is only one person on the opposite side. Can she really fight against a hundred people alone?
So two people looked at each other across half the yard, and while Lin Tantan's attention was on Min Yande, they suddenly attacked at the same time, one with a rocket and the other controlling a small knife in the air.
Both are silent.
Lin Tantan seemed to have eyes on the side of his head and reacted immediately. Golden light suddenly appeared on both sides of his body. The golden light instantly condensed into substance, like a thick piece of gold, which blocked the attacks from both sides with two clang sounds.
At the same time, the gold piece cleverly tilted to a different angle, and the rocket and the knife were both deviated from their original trajectory and shot to two angles. Two screams of pain were heard, and the rocket hit a person not far behind Min Yande, hitting him in the lower abdomen.
This was still a relatively light blow, but the knife stabbed the face of the lightning-type mutant who was stuck in the ground by Lin Tantan.
Fortunately, the latter still had some skills and immediately used his supernatural power to block the attack. The knife only penetrated half of his face, but even that was scary enough. Imagine a knife piercing his cheek and mouth, blood gushing out of his face and mouth, and his expression was extremely painful. If he made a painful expression, it would be even more painful. He could only keep his face frozen, unable to utter a curse. Because he couldn't speak at all.
This sudden change made everyone stunned. Lin Tantan took the opportunity to release two golden lights. The golden lights disappeared in a flash, and the two people who attacked her fell to the ground.
Lin Tantan sighed regretfully, "It seems that the former General Min no longer has the awareness to take responsibility for his own affairs. He is determined to resist even at the cost of his men's lives."
Min Yande's face turned pale: "Come on!"
He really didn't care about the lives of those thirty-odd people, and wasn't going to drag it on any longer.
Suddenly, attacks from superpowers and bullets poured down from all directions. Lin Tan Tan just smiled faintly and released a real three-meter-thick water wall for defense.
Behind the water wall, her figure was blurry, but she was still there. However, all attacks were absorbed by the water wall and could not hit her at all.
Some of the thirty or so prisoners who were also within the range of the water wall were also fine, but a small number outside the water wall were affected by the attack.
Some people were accidentally attacked and had their restraints freed, some were injured like the lightning-type mutant, and some were even killed by stray bullets.
It seemed extremely tragic for a moment.
Those who were shaken and unwilling to get involved began to retreat. Some people outside the yard also wanted to rush in, but all of them suddenly felt as if a mountain was looming over their heads. Their shoulders sank and they fell to their knees, their knees denting the ground and they were completely unable to move.
Someone shouted in fear: "She has helpers, she has accomplices!"
Now even those who attacked Lin Tan were a little panicked.
There is someone in front of you who you can't hit, and behind you is a helper who you don't know where he is hiding, which is naturally frightening.
When Min Yande saw the people outside the yard being restrained, he immediately thought of one person, Ye Xiao!
Yes, Lin Tantan appeared here, how could she be alone? Ye Xiao must have come too! There might even be more people.
He had completely given up hope of catching Lin Tantan and just wanted to leave immediately, but Daying blocked his way in time and said, "Hurry up and tell everyone to stop, and then go and apologize."
Min Yande said angrily: "Get out of the way!"
At this time, Lin Tantan touched the little hamster in his pocket, and suddenly raised his hand and waved it. The standing wall of water suddenly collapsed in all directions and turned into a huge wave that splashed towards everyone. People were caught off guard and were washed down. Lin Tantan suddenly took out a black brick-like object in his hand and threw it at the water stains on the ground.
There was a series of crackling sounds of electricity, and a blue-purple arc of electricity was released from the front end of the black brick. It was instantly transmitted along the water stains on the ground, shocking people so much that their whole bodies trembled. Only a few of them reacted quickly and jumped away.
Lin Tantan's discharge of electricity was endless. It seemed as if the electricity in the black bricks was inexhaustible. While electrocuting people, a layer of soil rose from the ground, submerging all the people lying on the ground. People screamed in fear and tried to escape, but the soil seemed to be alive and climbed up along the human body.
In a few breaths, clay statues suddenly appeared in the yard, falling to the ground in various postures, maintaining the posture of escaping and the expression of despair and collapse, with only two nostrils exposed to barely breathe and two eyes still able to see things.
This action shocked everyone, especially the captives who had been buried in the soil by her before. They suddenly felt relieved. In comparison, the process of being buried and impaled was relatively normal. Watching themselves being swallowed and covered by the soil that seemed to have life was what despair was all about.
In the first round, dozens of clay sculptures appeared in the yard, and outside the yard there were more people who were suppressed and unable to move by invisible forces.
Only a small number of people climbed the wall in time, and those who jumped away remained free, but they were also very scared, like turtles in a jar.
Lin Tan Tan looked at Min Yande and said, "Why, you still refuse to apologize to me and want to hit me with your head?"
Min Yande's eyes were vague, he couldn't believe it. Even a five-element psychic shouldn't have such ability. This was far more than the energy that five psychics combined should have.
He turned around to run, but when Lin Tan touched the ground under his feet, the entrance to the yard was suddenly blocked by an earthen wall. The dilapidated wall was also suddenly reinforced with earth, and then continued to rise.
For a moment, the yard became a cage. The surrounding walls were high, thick, straight and smooth, and they converged towards the middle at the top, forming a straight birdcage. It was impossible to climb up, and even sunlight could not shine in. Only the place where Lin Tantan was sitting could let in a ray of light from the top.
She sat in the light, her face so white that it seemed to glow, her expression still relaxed with a hint of playfulness, which was in sharp contrast to the darkness around her and the messiness of the crowd. However, in people's eyes, she was more terrifying than the devil.
Lin Tantan propped up his face, tapped his cheek with his fingers, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to apologize yet?"
Min Yande gritted his teeth. He had been targeted and kicked out of the capital base before. He thought that was the most embarrassing moment in his life. However, compared with this moment, he suddenly felt that the previous ones were nothing.
He was actually forced to this point by just one person, a young woman at that.
He walked over with heavy steps, lowered his head, and said in a hard and dry voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't dare to target you, I shouldn't have plotted against you..."
His men, whether they had been turned into statues or were still free, looked at him with complicated expressions.
Once Min Yande lowered his head, he could never raise it again. In their hearts, as Min Yande lowered his head, this man seemed to have become a real loser at this moment. There would be no possibility for him in the future, and no value worth following.
Everyone's mood suddenly became depressed, and morale was at its lowest point. They were like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of Lin Tan Tan.
Lin Tantan curled his lips: "Why are you targeting me?"
Min Yande took a deep breath. "I shouldn't have wanted to capture you even though I knew you were a five-element psychic. I coveted your abilities and had bad intentions. I also shouldn't have used you as a starting point to destroy the unity of the Zhengyang Brigade..."
Min Yande had a wooden face, as if none of these words were spoken by him. His chubby figure looked even more bloated as he bent over and lowered his head. Not only because of the humiliation but also because of the bloated figure, his face became increasingly ugly, and sweat dripped down his head.
Lin Tan Tan looked at her carefully, then suddenly raised his chin to someone in the corner and asked, "Did you record it?"
Min Yande was startled and looked up. There was a man standing there with a camera in his hand. The camera was still flashing in the dim light, and it was obvious that he was filming.
And that person was none other than the lightning-type mutant who had been stabbed in the face by a knife before. Lin Tantan asked him to record the video on the condition that she would release him and treat his face.
He agreed.
How could I not agree? Almost as if accepting salvation from a savior, I eagerly agreed and then obediently began recording.
As he recorded the video, he thought, Min Yande had been completely trampled under her feet. Min Yande was finished. Even if he had escaped today, with this video, as a former big boss who was forced to this point, he was completely finished.
Min Yande was about to rush over in a rage, but Lin Tantan didn't move. Min Yande suddenly turned around and pounced on Lin Tantan. The previous action of rushing towards the corner was completely a feint. His target was only Lin Tantan.
Lin Tantan seemed to have anticipated this. He raised his hand and a golden light covered Min Yande, illuminating the dim surroundings. The golden light spread rapidly, like a raincoat, like a cover that completely enveloped Min Yande. Lin Tantan raised his foot again and kicked the guy away. There was a sound, as if he had really kicked a metal cover.
Lin Tantan's "Golden Bell Cover", which once protected Ye Xiao from attacks, was now covering Min Yande. It was naturally not to protect him. After the entire human-shaped golden cover fell dully to the ground, there were crackling sounds of explosions coming from inside, as if fat meat had exploded one after another.
Everyone was extremely surprised, even the eagle looked surprised. What happened?
Those with poor eyesight might think that Lin Tantan did something to "explode" Min Yande, but Daying saw it more clearly. Min Yande clearly wanted to attack Lin Tantan, but was covered by Lin Tantan, so his attack could only be carried out inside the cover.
But does Min Yande also have supernatural powers?
As he guessed, Lin Tantan stomped on the ground again, and the birdcage-like wall began to collapse rapidly, but there was no smoke or dust. The soil flowed down like sticky paste, and quickly disappeared when it hit the ground, turning into supernatural power and returning to Lin Tantan's body, and light shone in.
Lin Tantan walked up to the human-shaped golden shield, waved his hand to disperse the shield, revealing a bloody man. This was naturally Min Yande. There was not a single piece of good flesh on his body at this time, and even his face seemed to have been torn off by someone. It was bloody, and his two eyes were staring at him.
Lin Tantan waved his hand in front of his nose in disgust, dispersing the bloody smell. "I'm telling you, your ability is truly disgusting. You're constantly trying to grow flesh, like you're growing a ring of bombs on your body, ready to explode when necessary to save your life. It's truly a strategy that hurts the enemy a thousand times but hurts yourself eight times."
When everyone heard her say this, they understood what had just happened, and was this the reason why Min Yande was getting fatter and fatter?
How did she figure that out?
Lin Tantan: Of course...some of it was discovered through observation, but more of it was learned from history books.
There are a few people in the apocalypse. While others would die if they self-destructed, these people have the special ability to blow themselves apart and use it to attack others.
Most of these people are obese, and the fat that grows inexplicably on their bodies contains a lot of energy. Once it explodes, although it is not as powerful as a real self-explosion, it can still cause serious damage to surrounding targets.
But because it is really a case of hurting one thousand enemies and hurting eight hundred of your own people, after the explosion, not only will the fat accumulated over many days be blown away, but your own injuries will also be serious and ugly. The pain of having a layer of flesh blown off is also difficult to bear, so this kind of psychic will not use this ability until the last moment.
Min Yande is one of these people with special abilities.
Because he was Ye Xiao's boss before the apocalypse and the main reason why he set up his own business after the apocalypse, Lin Tantan naturally paid more attention to him. The reason why she didn't tell Ye Xiao was that, firstly, she had no reason to tell him, and secondly, she believed that Min Yande would not use this ability easily.
But after seeing Min Yande with her own eyes, she has always been on guard against this move.
She sighed, leaned over slightly and said to the bloody man Min Yande, "You should have checked me out in detail. Don't you know that since we started in Yang City, I have often guided new psychics to familiarize themselves with their powers and practice them?"
"I'm a five-element psychic, naturally very sensitive to my powers. You're using your powers right in front of me to kill me instantly, your flesh is trembling, and sweat is pouring down your face. And you expect me to be so stupid as to not notice?"
After saying this, everyone around, including Daying, understood how she saw through Min Yande and took timely defense.
Lin Tan Tan straightened up and looked at him with a hypocritical look of regret. He was injured so badly, no one treated him, and there were no conditions for him to rest. He was probably unable to recover.
Min Yande spat out a mouthful of blood and said in a hoarse and resentful voice, "Don't be so mean. Your parents and family... are in my hands. If I die, they will... die with me!"
Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment. Her first reaction was to think of her parents and brother, but then she realized that Min Yande was talking about the original parents and family of this body.
Her face darkened and her brows furrowed: "You caught them?"
Min Yande sneered and did not answer.
Big Eagle, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, "When he first learned you were a five-element mutant, he didn't actually plan to send you to that research institute right away. Instead, he wanted to control you himself, so he sent people to Su City to look for your relatives. But when they arrived, they reported back that the Lin family was no longer in the area, and we haven't heard from them since."
Min Yande stared at the man who repeatedly undermined him with bloodshot eyes: "Daying, I've been very kind to you!"
The eagle looked at him calmly: "A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. You are no longer able to do this. I have to make plans for myself."
Lin Tan Tan immediately understood that he was paving the way for joining the Zhengyang Brigade later. He didn't want people to know that he was Ye Xiao's undercover spy. Naturally, surrendering was the best way to explain why he was able to join the Zhengyang Brigade and even be reused in the future.
Lin Tantan naturally wouldn't expose him. After thinking carefully, he said, "That is to say, my... Lin family members were not caught by him, and they should have left Su City long ago?"
"Yes."
In that case, there is no need to hold back on Min Yande.
Lin Tantan's eyes were a little cold. This man actually wanted to control her by controlling her "relatives". It was a nice idea.
