Ye Xiao watched all this happen, without intervening, and without being able to intervene.
He watched Zhou Yan win over the people at Zhengyang Base while secretly purging those close to "Ye Xiao" and those he trusted. He watched the new nation be established, Zhou Yan become president, and the nation stabilize and rebuild and develop step by step. He also watched as Zhou Yan, once in power, finally dropped the "Ye Xiao" he had always mentioned, even refusing to hear the name mentioned.
Ye Xiao didn't feel much emotion.
Except for the times when he went to see the belongings of his former comrades and the places where they lived, when his mood would be particularly heavy and complicated, he always regarded himself as an outsider.
He also traveled to many places, looked at the devastated country, and saw the efforts made by the survivors for a better tomorrow, some of which were united and progressive, while others were dark and oppressive.
He felt that he had learned a lot and that he could draw on many things. When he returned, he would learn what he should do and avoid what he should avoid.
Ye Xiao spent decades watching this country grow from a country in ruins to one that gradually became strong, and then he visited many other countries and places and saw a lot.
He also went to the coast and looked at the seemingly endless marine life. The end of the world had passed, and the zombies were finally completely eliminated after several years, but the mutated marine life was still a major threat to human survival. The war between land and sea had never completely stopped.
Occasionally, there are mutated birds flying in the sky, and from time to time they will swoop down and hurt people.
There are also mutated plants and animals on land.
After the cleansing and transformation of this world, the environment can never return to the peace and tranquility of the past.
Fortunately, humans have become stronger, and the descendants of those with superpowers have a certain chance of also being superpowers. The descendants of ordinary people may also have superpowers. Generation after generation, there are more and more superpowers, and eventually the ratio of one superpower in five people is maintained. But at the same time, wind, thunder, ice, darkness, and other strange superpowers are becoming less and less, leaving only the five elements superpowers.
Ye Xiao clearly realized that the world was gradually moving towards a norm, and his wind and space abilities were gradually suppressed. However, when he noticed this trend, he collected a lot of wind and space crystal cores, and almost stopped using his abilities. He just continued to diligently circulate energy in his body every day, silently resisting the increasingly solid and powerful rules of this world.
At the same time, technology is becoming more and more advanced. People can extract energy from nature and make energy stones. Ye Xiao nodded slightly. This technology is very good. He was worried about where the crystal cores of the mutants would come from after the zombies disappeared. Now he doesn't have to worry about it. He even sneaked into the relevant institutions and secretly learned this technology.
Of course, this is not the only skill he learned.
In short, he lived a low-key, busy and lonely life in this strange world. He walked to many places on foot, watched many sunrises and sunsets alone, prepared healthy meals for himself every day, and lived a regular and healthy life.
Because he couldn't change anything, he couldn't take part in any work. He would only go to the sea every once in a while to kill some inconspicuous marine creatures and quietly exchange them for money for shopping, or find a remote mountain forest where there were few people and farm for himself.
Ten years passed, fifty years passed, a hundred years passed, two hundred years passed...
After more than two hundred and fifty years, Ye Xiao finally came out of the valley where he had stayed for decades. He went to look for the ancestors of the Lin family, to be precise, the generation of Lin Tantan's grandfather. Since then, he has maintained the frequency of visiting them once a year. He watched the grandfather of the Lin family grow up, get married and have children, and Lin Tantan's father was born. He grew up step by step, found the girl of his dreams, and then entered the marriage hall.
In 2300, Lin Tantan's mother was pregnant. Ye Xiao completely left his valley, erased all traces of him, and set foot on the land of human society again. Looking at the bustling city and the busy streets, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
His eyes were extremely calm, as if countless years had settled in them. The statues that had stood in the square for decades were not as calm as his. Looking around, all the buildings, trees, and anything else seemed to have not existed as long as he had.
Over the years, everything seemed to have faded in his eyes. However, today, there was color and fluctuation in his eyes again. It was joy and expectation, because his little girl was finally about to be born, she was about to come into this world!
He was well aware of the Lin family's movements. Lin Tantan's mother's pregnancy wasn't going well, with fetal growth stagnation and several miscarriages, requiring frequent hospital visits. Ye Xiao knew exactly which hospital they were in. Unable to disguise himself as a medical professional, he pretended to be another woman's family member, dressed modestly, and waited at the delivery room door. When the tiny, wrinkled baby, as thin as a kitten, was brought out, his eyes instantly sore.
This is his little girl. On this day, she came into this world and was born.
The moment I saw her, all the time seemed to disappear. The sunrises and sunsets, the silent days and nights, the roads I walked alone, the colorful yet lonely and desolate scenery, and the heart that was eaten away by longing, all became insignificant.
The meaning of this world suddenly changed.
His heart suddenly softened.
He suddenly thought of the person in another world, and said silently in his heart, "Tanya, I saw what you looked like when you were a child. From today on, I will participate in your past."
However, it was also from this day that misfortune and suffering began to come.
The nurse called out nervously, "Is the family of bed number 8 here? The child is in very serious condition and needs to be taken to the intensive care unit immediately. Please come with me to complete the formalities."
The baby was rushed away, and halfway there, I heard the doctor yell, "Hurry, he's having trouble breathing!"
Lin's father panicked and did whatever the nurse told him to do. He squatted in front of the isolation door of the intensive care unit and pulled his hair, then ran to the delivery room to wait for his wife. The other family members of the Lin family followed him around, with bad expressions on their faces, wanting to say something but not daring to say a word.
Ye Xiao watched all this quietly, and saw that after Mother Lin came out of the delivery room, the couple hugged each other and cried, and saw the doctor speak solemnly, saying "What about your daughter? She was diagnosed with five types of superpowers. It is extremely rare. There is only one case in the world who was born alive." He also saw that after the Lin couple struggled and suffered, they gritted their teeth to let their daughter get the best treatment, no matter what the cost, and saw that the health department was alarmed, and many experts rushed to consult for the critically ill baby, discussing something with red faces.
Most of the time, he quietly guarded outside the intensive care unit.
Occasionally, he would sneak in and look at the little baby girl in the five-series energy box, with many tubes inserted into her body and breathing rapidly and with difficulty. His eyes were soft and distressed. He gently stroked her closed eyes through the box with his fingers and whispered, "Let's talk. You have to be strong."
Lin Tantan was naturally very strong. She was on the verge of death countless times, was rescued countless times, stopped breathing countless times, and people almost gave up on her countless times, but she eventually recovered her breathing and heartbeat and survived.
It seems that there is a force that wants to wipe her out and exclude her from this world, but she is unwilling to let that force succeed. The tenacity of her vitality always makes people amazed and sigh.
She was finally discharged from the hospital, although she was still frequently hospitalized afterwards. She grew very slowly, but she eventually grew up. Lin's parents were worried that she would become mentally retarded, but she behaved very smartly and started babbling at the same time as other children and learned to call mom and dad.
Lin's parents shed tears, but she could not learn to turn over, could not learn to crawl, and had never kicked her legs.
After several examinations, it was finally confirmed when she was over one year old that her legs were functionally disabled and were like decorations. The cause of the disease was unknown, let alone treatment.
Lin's parents couldn't sleep all night. Ye Xiao secretly crawled into the baby's room, looked at the little girl sleeping in the crib, and touched her face: "You little rascal, you never told me about this." His eyes fell on her small legs. She was wearing a diaper, with her two white and tender but somewhat skinny legs spread apart, her two little hands were placed on both sides of her head, and she slept with her legs spread out, looking domineering.
Ye Xiao's eyes were like water.
Lin's parents accepted their daughter's disability. Compared to the doctor's prediction that she was likely to die young, the disability of her legs did not seem like a big blow.
The little girl grew up little by little. She seemed to know that she was different from other children. She learned how to use her own pink mobility scooter at the age of two.
She is really well-behaved and smart. She hardly cries or makes a fuss. She eats gracefully and smiles with her eyes when she sees someone familiar and reaches out for a hug.
But such a cute little girl was still sent to the emergency room and suddenly fainted. Although the doctor rescued her, he said that as her body developed, the superpowers in her body began to gradually increase, and the five systems conflicted with each other, and the situation was not optimistic.
The couple stayed up all night again and named their child Tan Tan, hoping that she would be as short-lived but beautiful as the night-blooming cereus, and that her life would be worthwhile.
But beyond everyone's expectations, the little girl survived tenaciously, everything returned to normal, and she was released from the intensive care unit and discharged from the hospital.
The Lin couple were very happy. After discussing it, they changed her name. They wanted her to be an ordinary child, so they gave her an ordinary name.
But Lin Tantan naturally could not be a normal child. What followed was a repetition of hospitalization, recovery, and discharge. After a period of time, he suddenly became seriously ill and was hospitalized again.
The little girl was in great pain. She opened her eyes wide and said, "Mom, it hurts so much."
There was no part of her body that didn't hurt. The conflict between the five types of superpowers made it very rare for her to feel calm and comfortable. Every night she would even wake up suddenly from the pain, then she would cover herself with her hands in the quilt and sob, tossing and turning in pain.
Ye Xiao accompanied her through several sleepless nights, stayed up with her until her eyes turned red, and spent his time with her heartbroken. He wanted to take his little girl away and help her to the best of his ability, but it was impossible. Nothing could be changed. Her teacher also said that the only chance would be after her death.
He whispered, "Talk about it, and hold on a little longer."
Suddenly, the little girl who seemed to be asleep under the quilt suddenly threw off the quilt and opened her eyes wide: "Who?"
Ye Xiao didn't dare let her see him and quickly hid himself.
The little girl looked at the dark room and pouted. Mother Lin knocked on the door. "Tan Tan, are you awake? Can I come in?"
The little girl wiped her tears and said, "Mom, come in."
Mother Lin opened the door and came in, patting the little girl's head: "Can't sleep again? Mommy will sleep with you, okay?"
"No." The little girl said with a smile, "Mom, I want a little brother or sister. When will you give it to me? I want it to sleep with me."
Mother Lin's expression became a little strange, relieved and sad, wanting to cry but forcing a smile: "Okay, I'll let it come to accompany you soon."
Ye Xiao looked at the little girl's bright smile in secret, and his heart ached as if it was torn apart.
Why did his little girl have to suffer so much? He really wanted to give her some strength.
Ye Xiao thought so, but he didn't expect that so soon, "he" could actually give her some strength.
One day, when Ye Xiao saw the little girl watching "his" biography program on TV seriously, her eyes full of curiosity and admiration, and saying "this uncle is so awesome", his face was wooden.
