Lu Xin just floated away like that, and when he returned, he told his uncle and others about his discovery that there were two souls in Lin Tantan's body, and everyone was shocked.
Master Jin and the others began to make various calculations. Finally, they said that although they hadn't seen the person in person and couldn't be sure of the situation, it was very likely that the current Lin Tantan was possessing another body. There were two souls: one was the current person's, and the other was the original soul.
Unlike some powerful figures, they hadn't investigated Lin Tantan's past, so they didn't know what she was like before, let alone whether her personality and abilities were completely different from hers. But if this person was possessing someone else's body, then that would explain her ability to steal luck—an ordinary girl in her early twenties wouldn't be expected to understand such things, but it was quite plausible that an alien spirit from unknown origins could do so.
"Is it some kind of monster?"
"Or is it that some old veteran, unwilling to die, sought out a young body like this to possess after his death?"
"Since Lu Xin can see another soul in that body, the original owner must still be alive. We must hurry and not let that evil creature completely take over that body."
A group of old men discussed it this way and that, and finally they decided that the best way to solve the problem was to find the person who tied the bell, and that was to awaken the original soul in the body and drive out the evil creature.
Otherwise, given Lin Tantan's current status and abilities, they wouldn't be able to approach her, and even if they did, it would be difficult for them to do anything to her. Using Taoist methods? Who knows how advanced the other person is? Using ordinary methods? That person is incredibly powerful.
But how to awaken the original soul is another problem. They asked Lu Xin what state the soul was in when he saw it. Lu Xin said a little confusedly that he was extremely shocked at the time and could not see clearly. Anyway, it was blurry and seemed motionless.
Master Jin said that he looked really weak.
After thinking it over and discussing it again, they decided to start with the family of the original soul, using her family to stimulate and awaken her. Although they didn't know if it would work, they had to give it a try.
The only thing left was how to find his family. Master Jin asked Lu Xin to float back and find a way to get some hair, blood, etc. from Lin Tantan so that they could perform a ritual to find the person.
Lu Xin was stunned. He was a soul, how could he touch a real object?
Master Jin taught him some more skills in this way.
By the time Lu Xin had learned the new skills with difficulty, the Zhengyang Brigade had already arrived at their destination.
They circled the city and arrived at the suburbs, which was at the foot of the mountain where the scenic spot in the video Ye Xiao showed Lin Tantan was.
They immediately occupied the foot of the mountain and several nearby towns and villages.
This was a plan that had been made long ago. More than 900,000 people - some died on the way, but some survivors were met and most of them were taken in by the team. Now there are more than 900,000 people, only one step away from the one million mark - it would be too crowded if they were squeezed together, so they were simply dispersed in several small towns and villages. There was some distance between them, but not too far, and they were mainly connected by some farmlands, which would make it more convenient to carry out agricultural production in the future.
It is not an easy task to settle so many people. First of all, all the towns and villages in this area have to be carpet-cleaned. Every house, every well, every cellar, and every small ditch must be checked. Not only can no zombies be left behind, even an infected bug cannot be missed.
The combat team advanced several times in a carpet-style manner, and after confirming that all dangerous corpses and objects that might be infected with the "virus" had been dragged away and uniformly incinerated and destroyed, the temporarily established disinfection team followed suit.
After the brigade set up camp in the open space nearby, they immediately began to prepare disinfectant. Buckets of disinfectant were prepared and equipped with nozzles. The disinfection team wore simple protective clothing, masks, hats, and protective goggles, and began to disinfect one place at a time, fully armed with disinfectant on their backs.
On the wide streets, cars converted into sprinkler trucks were spraying disinfectant over a large area.
By June, the sun was becoming scorching again. After being exposed to the scorching sun, the areas that had been sprayed with disinfectant had lost a lot of their stale and moldy smell. Then another team went to each area to carry out more detailed cleaning and repair work.
With more than 900,000 people, even if only a part of them are assigned to do these tasks, the efficiency will be very high. The remaining people are not idle either. Some of them have already started to build factories in the arranged places. Food factories, clothing and shoe factories, etc. must be set up quickly.
Some of them were busy with logistics, searching for food, and surveying the nearby terrain and resources.
More people are still fighting. There are many zombies smelling the scent coming from the city. They cannot be killed all. People are fighting day and night.
Another group of people began to build walls around all the towns and villages.
This is a huge project, and its scale is completely incomparable to the more than ten kilometers of city walls at the Ning City base. This city wall surrounds a real city.
Fortunately, the construction team was already doing infrastructure construction very smoothly, so they were not afraid to start work in a new location, and soon began construction in full swing.
During this time, Lin Tantan had a relatively free time. The convoy had disbanded, and everyone had gone to their own groups. Lin Tantan no longer had to worry about anything, and she didn't have to participate in any battles. She took out the small house she had brought with her through the space and set it up next to the temporary camp. She also dug several large pools and had Yang Xinyu transplant several large trees nearby for shade. This place became a playground for the mutant beasts.
Lin Tantan spends most of her time here, which also means she spends most of her time with the animals.
Animals are more intelligent than humans.
Lu Xin didn't dare to get too close at all. As soon as he got close, at least several animals, big and small, would look up in his direction.
What surprised him even more was that when he went to see Lin Tan Tan again this time, he could no longer see the soul in her body. Looking at her was no different from looking at other people, he could only see her physical body.
Lu Xin was very confused, but he did not forget his mission, which was to get Lin Tantan's hair or blood. Forget about the blood, basically don't even think about it, but he could try the hair.
He hid far away and observed Lin Tan like a peeping Tom. After she and the mutant beasts left, he lay down in the place where she had been like a pervert, searching for any of her fallen hair.
It would be better to look for her in the place where she combed her hair early in the morning, but what he didn't expect was that she didn't comb her hair by herself, but Ye Xiao helped her comb it.
Lin Tantan's hair had grown to shoulder length, and now she was disabled. She wanted to cut her hair shorter, but Ye Xiao stopped her and said he would help her comb her hair. So no matter how busy he was, he would always come to her in the morning.
Then Lu Xin had a mouthful of dog food.
He watched the woman often have to be coaxed out of bed because of sleeping in, then she would hold her face in her hands with dazed eyes, and sit obediently while her hair was combed. Today she wanted a neat ponytail, tomorrow she wanted a high bun, and the day after tomorrow she would tell a magazine she had found from somewhere that she wanted to have two curly bangs like the model in the magazine.
And what about Ye Xiao? The man who had left behind a pile of things didn't show any impatience. His attitude was diligent and conscientious, as if he was the woman's personal hairstylist, and he made a living from it. He watched helplessly as the man's movements went from clumsy and awkward to perfecting the woman's requirements, creating various hairstyles in a variety of ways.
Lu Xin's face in his soul state was numb.
He couldn't understand. It seemed that the two of them didn't live together, nor did they sleep together at night. Every morning, the man would run all the way over just to comb the other person's hair, braid it, and then talk and have breakfast together. Was it necessary to be so annoying?
Lu Xin didn't know that this was because Lin Tan Tan basically didn't have nightmares or strange dreams anymore. During the special period of more than half a year, the two of them had been together all night.
But eating dog food is nothing. What makes him despair is that Lin Tan Tan doesn't seem to lose his hair. Every time he combs his hair, he looks at him from afar and not a single hair falls out.
Impossible, he just doesn't believe that this person has no metabolism!
Then he waited and waited, and if he was not in a soul state, he would have become bald. Finally, he waited until a sunny day came. The woman brought out a small chair, and a group of cats, dogs, foxes and mice helped her to carry the washbasin, towel, shower gel, small comb and other things - she was going to give these animals a bath again.
Lu Xin watched numbly. After a while, Ye Xiao also came and they took a shower together.
Lu Xin immediately drifted away and looked at the busy scenes everywhere. He wondered how these two people could be so leisurely?
Lin Tantan, who was very leisurely, suddenly said, "Ye Xiao, you can wash my hair too."
Ye Xiao naturally agreed, letting his girlfriend lie down on the reclining chair while he began to wash her hair. He had learned this skill from a hairdresser and now had mastered it to a professional level. Lin Tan was feeling his fingers gently yet firmly massaging her scalp. Lying in the shade of the tree, where the breeze was blowing, she felt so comfortable that she was almost asleep. The various noises in the distance seemed to have been forgotten.
When Lu Xin floated back, Ye Xiao had already washed off the bubbles and wiped her hair with a towel. Lu Xin's eyes widened, staring at the hair under the towel without blinking.
Ye Xiao frowned slightly: "Did you feel anything?"
Lin Tantan was about to fall asleep. He dazedly opened his eyes when he heard the words, but was stimulated by the dazzling sunlight outside the shade of the tree and closed his eyes again: "What?"
Ye Xiao looked at the mutant birds perched on the tree and said nothing more. After wiping his hair, he put the towel aside. Lu Xin, who was also huddled in the tree, was overjoyed—there was a strand of hair stuck to the pink towel!
He stared at the hair, hoping that the two would leave quickly, but Ye Xiao turned his hands into a hair dryer and started to blow his girlfriend's hair. Lin Tantan suddenly had the idea of getting a new hairstyle, so she took out her magazine and pointed to a hairstyle on it and asked Ye Xiao to blow her hair.
Ye Xiao really started to blow it.
Damn, does this guy have to be so talented!
Lu Xin waited and waited until his hair was finally dry and the style was done. He even admired it and found that it looked very similar to the one in the magazine.
At this time, Ye Xiao's rest time was finally over. He had to go out and continue to work. Lin Tan Tan said that he wanted to take a nap under the tree.
Ye Xiao smiled, and before leaving, he bent down and kissed her on the forehead: "Then I'll be leaving."
"Yeah!" Lin Tan Tan held his big head and kissed him hard in return: "Be careful!"
Lu Xin, who was caught off guard and hurt again: "..."
Fortunately, the man left, and the woman admired her new hairstyle and fell asleep.
The towel was still there.
Lu Xin floated down carefully, stared at his hair for a long time, then looked up. There were no animals nearby, only two mutant rats grinding their teeth at the tree roots, each holding a piece of the root.
He concentrated his mind, sinking his energy into his dantian. He thought to himself, this is only one chance, I must succeed! Then, with lightning speed, he pounced on one of the smaller white mice, sinking his entire soul into its body.
The little white mouse shuddered all over, its black eyes were blank for a moment, and then after it lit up again, it spat out the hard and dry tree roots mixed with soil in its mouth.
Looking around, he felt a little uncomfortable with the view and he was not used to controlling his body, but he still stubbornly waved his limbs and stumbled towards the towel. He fell every two steps and crawled out in a crooked S shape, almost scraping the ground all the way.
The black rat in front of him opened its mouth wide, hugged the tree root and stood there motionless, staring blankly at the scene: "..."
Lu Xin was about to reach the top when he suddenly felt something pressing him down. He paddled his limbs, but they were clearly free and his body wasn't being held down either. Suddenly, he turned around and saw that it was his tail that was being held down.
The black rat caught up with him, pressed his tail with its claws, then crawled over and chirped. There was a look of concern in Hei Dou's eyes, and he even pulled at Lu Xin's claws, as if he wanted to see where he was injured.
Lu Xin: "..." Are mice so smart now?
He pushed the guy away, and the latter immediately crawled back. He pushed him away and crawled back again, and finally pressed on him. Lu Xin was almost crushed to the point of vomiting his internal organs.
This black rat was much bigger than the white rat he possessed, two or three times as big, and looked strong and powerful. He was worried that it might be difficult for him to bend over a rat that was too strong, so he chose the white rat.
But now this choice has caused him a lot of suffering. The black rat doesn't even need to do anything, it just presses on him and he can't move.
Lu Xin: “Jijijijiji!” Get out of my way!
Black Rat: “Chirp, chirp!” What’s wrong with you, wife?
The chirping of the two mice soon attracted other mutant mice. They swam out of the pool and surrounded their compatriots, greeting them in a flurry. When they learned that the white mouse might be sick, they were all worried about it. After discussing for a while, they decided to ask for help from their omnipotent boss.
Lin Tantan actually didn't sleep much. She didn't pay attention to the mutant rats' calls. These little guys often gathered together and chattered non-stop. They did so when they had ordinary gatherings, had tea parties, and even fought. There was nothing strange about it until the corner of her clothes was pulled.
Lin Tantan opened her eyes and looked at the ground. The mutant rats were all gathered there, big and small, of all colors, all looking at her expectantly. It was a spectacular sight.
Naturally, many mutant rats appeared along the migration route, and any that caught the attention of her little cuties were recruited into their small group, so now her mutant rat army numbered nearly a hundred. This made the tabby cat, Fatty, even more afraid to come over, even though the mutant rats no longer bullied him.
Lin Tantan quickly understood what had happened. He looked at the little white mouse that was being pressed down by a big black rat and was struggling desperately, but when it was brought in front of him, it suddenly curled up into a ball and didn't move. Looking closely, it seemed to be still trembling.
Lin Tantan scratched his face and said, "What's going on? Come, let me take a look."
She gently pinched the little white mouse between her fingertips and picked it up. The little white mouse trembled even more violently.
Lin Tantan found it very strange that these animals were never afraid of her, especially her own.
She probed her special ability inside to investigate, but found nothing unusual: "Could it be that he was frightened at some point?"
She smoothed the little white mouse's fur and slowly transferred the wood-type supernatural power into it. The little white mouse... Lu Xin instantly felt extremely comfortable. His soul, which had been supported by his uncle's magic weapon, seemed to be injected with very powerful energy, nourishing his soul.
For the first time since the death of the body, I felt a sense of having eaten a full meal.
Lu Xin squinted his eyes comfortably.
When he woke up again, his vision was still low. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw mud. He moved and found that he was still in the white mouse's body. It was already dark. He quickly got up and looked up to see a pink towel hanging on a rope, fluttering in the wind. It had been washed clean and there was not a single hair on it.
Ahhhh his hair!
…
Since there was no good news from Lu Xin, the Taoists did not just sit there and wait. They were very smart and found the caravan and followed it all the way to Liang City.
There were also a small number of survivors near Liang City. When they discovered that such a force had come to Liang City and observed for a period of time, they saw that these towns were being reorganized in a very methodical manner, everything was in order, and they were also building city walls and various construction projects. They felt that it was very promising, so they came to request to join.
Several Taoists joined these scattered teams and after some twists and turns finally joined the Zhengyang Brigade.
Then... I started doing hard labor.
It's impossible for someone who just joined to get close to Lin Tan Tan! Even if they deliberately get hurt, it's impossible for Team Leader Lin Tan Tan to take care of it. Anyone from the medical team can take care of it in minutes.
What if you get injured frequently? Oh, you're not suitable for this job. I'll give you a job that's less prone to injury.
Still getting hurt like this? Well, you can consider whether you did it on purpose, or whether you were born with a brain problem. After one of the Taoist priests repeatedly injured himself and was listed as mentally retarded and completely marginalized, the others became obedient.
Work hard and climb the ladder. Maybe one day you'll be qualified to meet someone on Lin Tan Tan's level. But then again, isn't this nutritional supplement a little too unpalatable? What? This is the batch that didn't do so well. Starting with the worst performers, the good ones have curry, barbecue, and pineapple flavors?
So what are you waiting for? Start working hard. Your short-term goal is to become a foreman.
Seeing that there was no news from Lu Xin and several of his men had to do hard labor, Uncle Jin became impatient.
If he knew the five mercenaries led by He Fan and Wang Shuo, he would have expressed the same sentiment as them: they are so damn difficult to deal with, why is it so difficult to do something bad to them?
It was a coincidence that at this time he met a few people who were staring at the Zhengyang Brigade in the same way as them. After asking, he found out that they were from the animal taming organization in Jinshi.
The two groups, both intent on taking action against the Zhengyang Brigade, successfully joined forces. Master Jin then asked them what they knew about Lin Tantan. They quickly produced a wealth of information, including the "former name" Lin Tantan and his birthdate. Master Jin was overjoyed, believing these must be the birthdate of the body's original owner. He used these two pieces of information to perform a ritual.
He did this several times, almost spending half his life, before he finally vaguely found the location of his flesh and blood relatives.
"It's actually in the south." Uncle Jin's heart sank when he looked at the map. It was separated from Liang City by half a country.
But in order to achieve his goal, he and his companions packed up and prepared to head to the southernmost part of China to look for someone.
Before leaving, he held on to his last breath and performed another ritual, trying to contact Lu Xin, but there was still no news. He sighed, having already determined that his nephew was in great danger.
This evil guy named Lin Tantan is too powerful.
He sighed and left Liang City.
As the beast tamers watched the old Taoist priests leave, one of them asked their leader, Brother Fei, "Are these old limbs really any use? Why do I feel so strange?"
"Who cares if it's mysterious or not? At least it can bring a little trouble to those people in the end." Brother Fei said gloomily, "Let's just wait and see."
Meanwhile, Lu Xin, who was believed to be in critical condition, was trapped in the body of a little white mouse. He ate and drank well every day and lived a good life. However, because his soul was trapped and unable to break free, he was anxious and often behaved in a way that was inappropriate for his status. His current spouse—yes, he just learned that this little white mouse was actually a female and had a spouse, the black mouse that was two or three times the size of the white mouse!!!—was always mistaken for being sick, and would always bring him to Lin Tan Tan.
Although he felt aggrieved and guilty when facing Lin Tan Tan, every time this happened, the other party would supply him with energy. That energy made his soul feel very comfortable and more solid and powerful. On the one hand, he felt that this was wrong, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but think that it would be nice to continue like this.
It was sinking so fast.
Only when the black rat came close to him would he be frightened and eager to escape from this predicament as soon as possible.
Lin Tantan thought this little white mouse was really interesting. Its eyeballs were always rolling around, and there were always many vivid expressions on its furry face, sometimes making people feel that it was just like a human.
She held the little creature in her hands and showed it to Ye Xiao: "Look, does it seem like it's thinking? I think it must have evolved a higher level of intelligence."
Ye Xiao glanced at the palm-sized white mouse, an ordinary breed, the kind found in laboratories. It had probably eaten too well recently, and it had swelled up like a balloon, its body covered in flesh.
It looks very normal, but Ye Xiao has seen it trying to climb onto his girlfriend's head several times.
At this time, its cunning eyes were staring at Lin Tantan's head.
Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes unhappily, pinched the back of the mouse's neck and lifted it up.
Lu Xin, who was thinking about how to get Lin Tantan's hair and never gave up on his mission, said: "!"
When he looked up, he met a pair of sharp eyes without much warmth. Those eyes seemed to be examining and dissecting him. Lu Xin was almost scared to death.
There's nothing you can do about it, this mouse is just so timid, it's completely a conditioned reflex.
Seeing the white rat's four pink paws curled up and the whole rat trembling, Ye Xiao's expression did not ease much. He said to Lin Tantan, "It looks quite smart. Let's give it to the tabby cat to train. It happens to be quite free recently."
Lin Tan Tan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. It can also help to train Pang Pang's courage. But I should ask Zhong Xiong for his opinion first."
The tabby cat is still timid, and has been bullied by rats before, so it is afraid of rats. It would be good to let the two of them exercise each other.
Just like that, Lu Xin was taken away from Lin Tantan. When he looked up, he was facing a big cat that was very huge compared to his current size. The cat had glowing eyes, majestic whiskers, and sharp teeth in its half-open mouth.
Lu Xin: “!!!” Cat! His cat-phobic nature was aroused, and Lu Xin couldn’t help but run away.
The tabby cat, Fatty: "Meow, aho, aho!" Mouse! It leaped back into its father's broad, strong, and safe arms.
