Lin Tantan stared at Ye Xiao blankly. If she could speak, she would have shouted, "How do you know when you knew it?"
The two of them stared at each other, but this was the first time that Lin Tantan was the one with small eyes.
Ye Xiao understood the shock in her eyes and smiled as he touched her head. Because the little mouse's head was too small, he could only gently stroke her fur with one finger. The feeling of soft fur and delicate skin softened his heart. He asked again, "Tan Tan, it's you, right?"
"Although I don't know why you became like this, your demeanor, your tastes, and your habits all reveal something."
Lin Tan Tan came back to his senses and thought, you have really good eyesight to be able to see so many things from such a tiny face of mine.
She stretched out her claws and scratched his palm, making a "chi" sound.
It’s me!
Worried that he didn't understand what she meant, she scratched a few more times, pretending to write. Ye Xiao's eyes were filled with smiles. He strangely understood what she meant. He looked around, took out a notebook, poured a small dish of ink, and placed her on the notebook so that it could dip the ink and write.
Lin Tantan looked up at him, lowered his head, dipped his right paw in ink, and started writing on the paper.
Although she had changed her paws to mouse paws, she still knew how to write. She stretched out her right paw and began to paint.
The claws were of limited length and dipped in a little too much ink, so the words written were actually a black mess, but the strokes were recognizable. Ye Xiao recognized them as he looked at them.
She wrote: I am talking.
He looked at the four blurred words, and his eyes suddenly felt sour and even blurred. Although he had been certain about this matter a long time ago, at this moment he felt relieved and completely at ease.
Lin Tantan looked at her own scribbles and felt very frustrated. What the hell was that?
She looked at Ye Xiao a little embarrassedly, and found that his eyes were full of tears. She was stunned, and then she was heartbroken. She didn't care that her claws were covered with ink, and she crawled towards him. Ye Xiao quickly reached out to catch her. She climbed up his arm and onto his shoulder. Ye Xiao let her move until she crawled to his neck. She originally wanted to rub against his face, but she was too small to rub his face, so she could only rub his neck.
"Chiji." Don't be sad, I'm back.
The soft and fluffy touch was like being brushed by warm feathers. Ye Xiao's heart melted into a ball. He took her down and kissed her: "Let's talk."
From Lin Tantan's perspective, it was like a giant's face was pressing down on her, but she held on very tenaciously, and by the way, she stretched out her claws to touch his face, leaving a black mark. When she looked again, she saw such marks on his clothes and around his neck.
When she looked down, she saw that her fur was also stained with ink.
…
Lin Tantan then briefly recounted her experiences to Ye Xiao through a bunch of scribbled characters, including how she had spent so long in the tree, how she had just run onto the little mouse yesterday, and how she was in dire need of wood energy.
Ye Xiao also told her what he had seen and heard while following her teacher, how to save her completely, and what he was going to do.
"It would be best if the plants and animals could mutate into spirits, but I can't control the process. It all depends on me. I need to push my abilities to the maximum level as soon as possible. As for other things, I don't have much to do right now. I think I'll naturally understand things at that level after I reach the maximum level."
Lin Tantan frowned his non-existent eyebrows and tried to write: It is not easy to reach the maximum level of supernatural powers.
In the seven years of the apocalypse, no one with superpowers could reach this level. People didn't even know whether the concept of the maximum level existed or where the pinnacle of superpowers lay.
In later generations, there was a person with full-level superpowers. The strength of his superpowers reached the theoretical full-level threshold. However, because he could not control such powerful energy, that person died soon.
But now it seems that the death of that person was most likely the result of the world's rules. Reaching the maximum level during the apocalyptic transformation period should be easier than reaching the maximum level in her world.
Ye Xiao said that he has now reached a limit in absorbing the energy of the crystal core, and it is definitely not possible to work in isolation. He couldn't let it go before he found her, and now that he has found her, he will go out and find zombies to practice. His supernatural powers still need to be improved in actual combat.
The man and the mouse chatted for a long time, mainly Ye Xiao talking, and while he was talking he didn't even bother to get food for Lin Tan Tan. Then Lin Tan Tan ate while grunting and listening to him talk.
As they talked, it was late at night. Ye Xiao washed his little mouse girl clean and carried her to bed. It was the first time since her accident that he felt that the bed was no longer empty, although his little girl was now pitifully small.
It seemed that any place would be suitable, so Ye Xiao put her on his chest.
He sighed and rubbed her: "How did you become so small?" Even if she was the size of a kitten, he could still hold her in his arms. Now she is so small that if she is not careful, she will be squeezed away and no one will know where.
Humph, Lin Tan said to herself that she didn't want to be so small either, but the strength of her soul could only deal with mice. What could she do?
Lin Tantan lay on his chest for a while, but felt his heartbeat was too loud and the vibration was too strong, so he ran to the crook of his neck and nestled against his skin.
The room was dimly lit, giving it a warm and quiet feel.
Although Ye Xiao forced himself to live a regular life, how could he rest well if his heart had never felt at ease for a single day? Now his beloved girl was back by his side. Although this image was a little beyond his expectations, his heart was completely at ease and his mind was relaxed. At this moment, the two of them leaned against each other and fell asleep soundly.
Some people in Zhengyang Base found that their leader seemed like a different person. He was no longer so reclusive and taciturn. He often appeared in various places in the base. Although he still did not participate in daily activities and did not care much about things, his state was almost the same as before the incident.
Even the mood seems to be better.
People speculated that he had gotten over the pain of losing his wife.
Some people also speculated that it was because he had a pet and that pet healed him.
In fact, when many people saw a pink ball of fur emerging from his pocket, shoulder, or even his head, they were horrified, because Ye Xiao's image did not match such a young and pink creature in any way.
But he really did pamper the furry ball as if it were his own eye, and kept it in front of him all the time. Many people also saw him talking to the furry ball, and his voice and eyes were so incredibly gentle that people almost thought he was possessed by a ghost.
Bai Cheng also found it unbelievable, but Ye Xiao did not tell him that the little mouse was Lin Tan Tan. Bai Cheng could only guess some things secretly, but Ye Xiao's current state really made everyone happy.
Not only did Ye Xiao regain a smile on his face, he also left the base to fight the zombies.
At this time, the zombies around Liang City have been almost cleared, and the area of the base will even continue to expand. Because there are many pregnant women in the base, a wave of newborns is about to come, and the population will also usher in a major explosion. Judging from the current conditions, it is a bit crowded.
But the areas outside Liang City were still mired in mountains and seas of corpses.
If Ye Xiao wanted to find powerful zombies, he could only go far away.
Ye Xiao brought a small team of strong people who were willing to challenge stronger zombies to temper his own team, as well as some equally strong and useful mutant beasts. Mingze was also indispensable.
Lin Tantan needs to replenish wood energy every day. Lin Tantan has already recognized Mingze, so Mingze, the new director of the base hospital, followed him without hesitation.
In three months, Ye Xiao took his little girl and small team to travel through three cities flooded by zombies and challenged the most powerful zombie leaders. The results were either complete victory or narrow victory. Ye Xiao gained a lot, and his supernatural powers, which had remained at the same level for a long time, jumped up another level.
That night, he used the ability detector to test his ability, and it turned out to be level seven in the Wind Element. Lin Tantan was screaming beside him, which translated to: Wow! That's amazing!
Ye Xiao smiled and nodded her head, then went to cook for her.
What Lin Tan Tan eats now is no different from what humans eat. She has three dishes, one soup and white rice, and the quantity has increased a little. She has the appetite of a three or four-year-old child. She said that this is because her soul has become stronger and her appetite has improved. Ye Xiao looked at her height that has never grown and her small belly, and he was very suspicious about where all the food went.
When he came back after cooking, he saw the little pink fur ball chirping to the air. This was not the first time he saw her like this. He knew that there was a soul following her, that was Lu Xin.
Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and placed Lin Tantan's exclusive small plate filled with food in front of her. She immediately gave up chatting and rushed towards the food. Ye Xiao used the method he learned to make Lu Xin appear.
Looking at the soul in the air, he found that it had become more solid. He smiled and said, "Lu Xin, have you made any progress today?"
Lu Xin was intimidated by him. He used to be simply intimidated by his strength, but now, every time he saw him, it was like seeing the presence of a headmaster, because Ye Xiao would check his "homework" every day. Yes, he was deeply concerned about the state of his soul, carefully understanding the steps and details of his soul solidification, and even discussing his ultimate evolutionary direction with him.
Will I remain in this ghost state forever, or will I be able to become a living person again?
"Since you have become what you are now because you have such special abilities, then this ability must have a direction and an end. What will be your limit?" He said this, and was more interested in his future possibilities than he, a ghost himself.
Then, I supervised him in his "cultivation" every day.
He looks for and fights zombies during the day, takes care of Lin Tan at night, and constantly absorbs energy, practices his superpowers, and improves himself. He is also very concerned about the superpower status of the people and mutant beasts in his hands, and at the same time he also cares about the realm of a soul. Lu Xin feels that there is no one in the world as hardworking as him.
This makes everyone, including animals and even him, a ghost, feel very pressured and are urged to keep working hard to become stronger.
The only person who feels no pressure around him is Lin Tan, who eats and drinks every day.
Just as Lu Xin was about to speak, he heard Lin Tantan say quietly, "I seem to be losing my appetite."
Lu Xin was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Tan Tan. Seeing his gaze turned away, Ye Xiao also looked at Lin Tan Tan. He couldn't hear what she was saying, he could only hear her chirping.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xin translated for him, "Tan Tan said that she's losing her appetite."
Yes, Lu Xin also has another function, which is to act as a translator between Ye Xiao and Lin Tantan.
While Lin Tantan was in the mouse's body, his soul could still communicate with Lu Xin, but he could not talk to Ye Xiao. Since he told Ye Xiao about Lu Xin's existence, Lu Xin became the translator between the two, and Lin Tantan was basically freed from the miserable activity of drawing talismans with ink.
Although Ye Xiao didn't really like having to find out his wife's thoughts from another person.
Ye Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, and his expression became serious. He touched the little pink mouse that had stopped eating and looked a little listless, and his eyes were a little worried: "It seems that the time has come."
