The scene before him was so much like the special effects scene in a science fiction movie that even the knowledgeable Lin Tantan was stunned, not to mention others. At this moment, the only place nearby, where Lin Tantan was safe and calm, was the eye of the storm.
Fortunately, after about two minutes, all the strange phenomena gradually dissipated. For those who had waited anxiously for so long, it felt like a fist punching cotton. After waiting for so long, watching the howling winds and the gathering dark clouds, the surging tide, everyone's hearts were at their highest point, waiting for the breaking point. Who knew that in the end, it would dissipate so quietly?
The air was stuck in their chest and they couldn't breathe it out. It was blocked back up. Everyone felt hurt, but they were relieved that there was no earth-shattering movement.
Ye Xiao's hair and clothes stopped flying. The bleeding scars on his body and the bruises that looked as terrible as if they had been cupping disappeared without a trace, and there was even a faint glow flowing through his skin that had returned to normal. His skin was as white as gold and jade, giving people the feeling that it was... indestructible.
Lin Tan Tan carefully stretched out her claws and gently poked his exposed arm. She felt a lot of resistance on her sharp claws, even though her claws could tear through steel.
She even wanted to go up and take a bite to see if the skin was really indestructible. Her bite force was much stronger than her claws.
But Ye Xiao opened his eyes, and she quickly lowered her head, which had just leaned forward, and smiled at him: "How is it?"
The moment Ye Xiao opened his eyes, there was an indescribable sense of silence, a feeling that no light could penetrate. It seemed to contain everything, and yet it seemed to contain nothing. But he quickly recovered, looked down at his hands, as if experiencing something, and then smiled and said, "I have a breakthrough."
Lin Tantan climbed up and patted his face with his thick forepaws: "Great! That's great! How does it feel?"
Ye Xiao thought for a moment: "Should I be able to fly now?"
Lin Tan Tan: “Ah?”
"You don't need any tools, you can fly anywhere." Ye Xiao smiled, his eyes shining with a rare excitement, "Let's talk, I'll take you..." Before he could finish the word "fly", he saw the size of the big bear beside him, and he was silent for a moment, swallowing his words back.
Although he was confident that he could fly everywhere and for a long time, but with such a tonnage, uh... he felt that his strength was not enough and he had to work harder.
Lin Tantan also realized something, looked down at her huge body, and was speechless for a moment. If she had known this, she would not have chosen the brown bear. She was so angry.
…
After reaching level nine and being able to fly freely in the sky, Ye Xiao became a trapeze artist. He didn't need to do any balancing movements or use his hands to paddle. He just needed to stand there easily. The airflow from all parts of his body and the solid air platform formed under his feet could easily and steadily support him in the air. The direction and speed of flight were controlled by releasing airflow in the opposite direction. Every part of his body could serve as an air propeller at any time, and his forward speed, speed change and turn in the air were extremely flexible and swift.
At first, he practiced in the sky by himself, and then he chose the birds in the sky as his opponents. They chased each other, so that the birds in the sky did not dare to fly over here for a few days. After he fully mastered this new technology, he no longer had to wait on the shore to look for powerful marine creatures, and could fly directly to the sea to look for them.
As a result, the big marine creatures in the deep sea were also annoyed by him and their life safety was greatly threatened.
For the next six months, Ye Xiao stayed at the seaside. No large and powerful marine creatures could pass through the estuary under his nose and come ashore to cause damage.
Because the Zhengyang base's attempt to use crab shells as raw materials for supernatural weapons was very successful and there was a great demand for raw materials, even without the base organization, many supernatural people or ordinary people spontaneously organized themselves to go to the coastal areas to kill marine life.
Crabs and other creatures with shells are the best, and those with hard scales and particularly thick bones are also fine. In short, where there is a market, there is killing. Driven by profit, people flocked to the coast. Under such an offensive, and with the big devil Ye Xiao guarding the coast strictly, after a long time, marine creatures no longer dared to go ashore easily, and those that had already gone ashore were eliminated one by one because there was no follow-up support.
Time quickly came to the fourth year of the apocalypse. The population of the Zhengyang base, which had accepted countless groups of refugees, had exceeded 10 million. The scope of the base had also expanded from the original edge of the city and the villages and towns at the foot of the scenic area to include the original urban area of Liang City. After some repairs and renovations, a brand new city was revitalized and became lively and prosperous.
However, such a city still could not accommodate so many people, so the suburbs around Liang City were developed and infrastructure construction was carried out. Even the neighboring city was included in the territory to carry out infrastructure construction and reclaim more vast farmland. A city of increasingly large scale is gradually taking shape.
In this context, after Ye Xiao intimidated those weird guys in the ocean, he turned around and pointed his spearhead at the zombies in the country again. Under his leadership, the Zhengyang base organized several large-scale zombie elimination activities.
The closest ones are in the nearby cities of Liang City, and the farthest ones may even have to go to the southernmost or northernmost part of the country.
During this process, the supernatural weapons produced by the Zhengyang base shined brightly and were of great use.
The nationwide zombie eradication operation lasted for a whole year, and the number of zombies was decreasing at an alarming rate. Only the number of zombies around the capital did not decrease much, because the area around the capital was not on the eradication list.
"Bang!" A pair of iron fists slammed down on the table, causing the teacups on the table to jump and splash water. The owner of the iron fists was filled with anger: "Then Ye Xiao did it on purpose!"
Everyone in the conference room looked at him, and he continued to curse, "They've gone all over the country to crack down on this, but they've bypassed us! If this isn't intentional, what is?"
The person opposite said indifferently, "They explained to us about the Zhengyang Base. They said they were worried we might be offended. The area around the capital is under the jurisdiction of our Capital Base, so they won't interfere."
The angry man was speechless for a moment, then he angrily said: "Excuses, all excuses!"
The man opposite him stopped talking and instead said to the man in the first seat, "The number of zombies has greatly decreased across the country. Only the density of zombies around the capital hasn't decreased much. People outside call this place... the Land of Death, and no one wants to come here."
While the zombie population elsewhere was decreasing, the area surrounding the capital remained unchanged. Naturally, people avoided it, which was a bad feeling. First, it made people feel that the capital base was incapable of eliminating the zombies, and second, it made people feel that the place was dead, full of dangers, and there was no way out. Especially when the Zhengyang base seemed to have become a pilgrimage site, it seemed that this place was almost forgotten.
“We have to take action.”
"Either send troops to clear out the zombies in the surrounding area, or tell Zhengyang Base not to bypass me when they take action."
Everyone was silent. Both of these choices were difficult to make.
Send troops to clean up? The morale of the Capital Base has been dispersed. They are either thinking of escaping or thinking of internal fighting. The few manpower and troops are not defending against zombies but hostile humans. As for the second option, if the Zhengyang Base was so easily persuaded, there would not be the current situation.
Fan Wuyong, who was sitting in the first seat, fell into a long silence.
Over the years, his temples had already begun to show white frost. He had held the position of the head of the Capital Base since the first year of the apocalypse, but this position was not easy to hold. Although the clear-cut four or five factions that once dominated the capital had disappeared, the smaller factions that had splintered after his conquest of the larger ones were still numerous and even more difficult to manage. The Capital Base had never truly been peacefully unified, so his role as leader was naturally no easy task.
He looked at the few loyal supporters left at the table, at their faces that were either sad, gloomy, or at a loss, and thought of the information he had obtained.
I heard that the Zhengyang Base was developing incredibly rapidly, practically like a rocket. From its inception until now, there hadn't been even a hint of internal friction, let alone internal strife or division. Most remarkable of all, during this period of rapid and efficient development, the head of the family, Ye Xiao, had been absent from the base for years.
He led his men to fight in all directions. Today he would drive the sea monsters back into the sea, and tomorrow he would deal with the zombies, eliminating them one region at a time. His name, Ye Xiao, would spread as far as the national network was repaired and the information could be spread. And it was all good name, the kind inlaid with glorious golden light.
Under such circumstances, his rear area was particularly stable and developed very quickly.
In comparison, my starting point was much higher than his, but I kept going downhill. I couldn't even manage the few people at home, and I couldn't even clear out the few zombies at the door...
Fan Wuyong felt endlessly exhausted. He sighed and said, "Let's ask for help from... Zhengyang Base."
If this continues, the capital base will really be lost.
When Ye Xiao received the dialogue request from the Capital Base, he had already returned to the Zhengyang Base.
At this time, the Zhengyang base has revitalized the neighboring city, and the focus of the base has shifted from the original small village to the urban center of Liangshi.
Ye Xiao and Lin Tantan remained in their original area. The three original districts were now less populated, primarily serving as food production areas and large factories. Every time she returned, the area was less crowded, and the pace of life slower, which made Lin Tantan somewhat sentimental. However, as the human population dwindled, the mutant flora and fauna here increased in number, becoming increasingly unrestrained, like a vast wildlife park. This delighted her.
Her garden was more lush and green than before. As soon as she returned there, she felt particularly relaxed. She ran happily in it and rolled on the lawn.
She was now a cheetah, and this cheetah loved fresh, raw meat. Because it was raw meat, Ye Xiao paid special attention to the source of the raw meat, all of which were cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks raised on the base, ensuring their health and safety. After letting her go, he rolled up his sleeves and slaughtered a sheep, selecting the fattest pieces of meat, cutting them into strips, placing them in a clean basin, and carrying them to feed his treasure.
Lin Tantan smelled the scent and ran back, groaning. Ye Xiao squatted in front of her, combing her fur while watching her eat meat. Just then, the phone rang. It was Bai Cheng calling. He smiled and said, "Transfer it to me."
He sat casually on the lawn. When he heard the long-lost voice on the other end of the phone, he smiled and said, "Commander Fan."
