Lin Tantan's eyes lit up, and his understanding of Bai Cheng's thoughtfulness and consideration deepened.
There were so many clothes and shoes, and since it was still winter, the sweaters and coats were very bulky and filled up half of the sofa.
Lin Tan Tan touched and looked at it. She had no idea about the quality of the material. Since she started working in the hospital, the food and things she used were basically the best. The highest quality things three hundred years later were naturally far beyond the reach of this pile of things, so she didn't pick and choose at all. She just liked what she saw.
"I'm very satisfied, Grandma Xu, thank you."
"I'm glad you like it. These underwear have been washed and dried in the dryer, so they are ready to wear." Grandma Xu added, and then said that she only has one hand and it is inconvenient, so please let her know if you need any help. It seems that she wants to lend the nanny to her, and the nanny herself seems willing to do so.
This is a woman from another place. She is honest and capable, and has no other relatives. Now she relies on the Xu family for her livelihood. She lives better than those who come from the university town. At least for now, she has no worries about food and clothing, and she doesn't have to share a house with strangers. But it is hard to say what will happen in the future. Naturally, she is willing to take on the task of taking care of Lin Tantan.
However, Lin Tantan didn't want to have someone else around him, so after thinking about it, he asked her to come over every day to clean the house and do some housework.
Suddenly she thought of something: "Grandma Xu, do you know how to cut hair?"
Ten minutes later, the nanny brought a plain-looking young man in his early thirties to Room 302. He smiled at Lin Tan with some reserve and said, "Hello, Miss Lin. My last name is Wang. I used to run a barber shop in the town near the university town. I heard you were looking for a barber?"
Lin Tantan had already washed his hair with the help of Grandma Xu and told her his requirements. The man immediately took out his tools and started trimming Lin Tantan's hair.
Lin Tantan really wanted to shave her head so that it would be easier to manage, but Grandma Xu managed to stop her, saying that it would not look good on a girl. In the end, she thinned her shoulder-length hair into short, broken hair that reached her ears. It looked neat and refreshing and quite nice, with a fluffy feel in the sun.
The barber had good skills and didn't dare to ask for too much. When he saw some biscuits on the coffee table in the living room, he said he would only take two packs of biscuits.
Bai Cheng stuffed a lot of biscuits, milk, fruits, candies and other things into Lin Tan's room. There were many kinds of them, all of which were snacks for her. He didn't give her any staple food because he knew she was not in a good position to cook for herself, so he asked her to eat with them.
Lin Tantan generously gave the barber two packets of biscuits, a few small loaves of bread, and two apples, and sent him away happily. He also gave Grandma Xu and the nanny some food to express his gratitude, sent them away, and then started his own washing business.
There was a power outage last night, but the water heater was on before the outage, so the water was still hot. After Lin Tan finished washing with great effort, and then hummed a song while brushing his teeth, which he hadn't brushed for several days, until they became bright white, there was basically only cold water left.
She happily put on her new clothes, rolled over on the sofa, and finally felt like she was alive again.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door. Lin Tantan went to open it in her cotton slippers. Outside was Ye Xiao. He had also changed his clothes and looked like he had done some cleaning. Lin Tantan couldn't help but laugh. She had been ashamed of her slovenliness before, but when she thought about it, Ye Xiao was the same. Was she trying to emulate her idol?
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "?" Although he didn't understand what she was laughing at, his mood brightened when he saw such a smiling face when he opened the door. His eyes paused at her new hairstyle: "Have you had a haircut?"
"Yeah, this is convenient." Lin Tan Tan touched his hair, which still felt light and fluffy, and he was a little uncomfortable with it.
"It looks great." Ye Xiao praised, "Is it ready? Come and have dinner."
Lin Tan Tan realized that it was almost twelve o'clock, so he went back to put on his coat and happily followed him.
As soon as she entered 301, she felt it was bustling with activity because everyone was there. Even though the living room was quite large, it still felt crammed in. The aroma wafting from the kitchen made her hungry. She couldn't help but ask, "Who cooks so well?"
She has tasted Ye Xiao's cooking, and even though the fan filter is very thick, she can't say it's delicious in good conscience.
"It's Bai Cheng, and there's another chef who was rescued from a pickled fish restaurant in the mall. He's very good at making pickled fish, and he's also good at other dishes."
Seeing Lin Tantan coming, everyone in the living room stood up to welcome him. Bai Cheng came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food and said with a smile, "Tantan is here. Please sit down first. You will be able to eat soon."
Lin Tantan was a little flattered. She whispered to Ye Xiao, "Why do I feel like I'm visiting someone else's home during the Chinese New Year?"
The New Year three hundred years later was also very lively. With Lin Tantan's ability and status, many people wanted to invite her, and sometimes she couldn't refuse. When she went to the host's house, people were also very warm and welcoming.
However, she was quite surprised that this group of soldiers could make such a fuss at this time.
She was led to sit on the sofa. Several laptops were laid out on the coffee table. Jiang Xiaotian looked from one to another. She also looked: "These are the surveillance cameras around here."
"Yes, if there are zombies coming, we will know immediately. But it's noon now, so there are usually not many zombies." Jiang Xiaotian munched on potato chips and stuffed a bag for Lin Tan Tan. "Would you like some? This tastes really good."
Lin Tan smiled, opened it and started eating. It tasted really good. Ye Xiao glanced at Jiang Xiaotian indifferently, and Jiang Xiaotian quickly begged for mercy: "I'll just eat this one."
Mei Bosheng laughed at him, "How many packets have you eaten?" He explained to Lin Tantan, "He loves snacks and can't control his appetite. He stuffs all sorts of things into his mouth. He eats a lot and doesn't like to eat rice. Over time, his stomach has been damaged and he's been in the hospital several times."
No wonder there were a bunch of snacks on the coffee table. She said she didn't get along well with these men.
But: "Meimei, why are you wearing a mask?"
Mei Baisheng covered his face with the mask, and his expression didn't look very good.
Now it was Jiang Xiaotian's turn to laugh at him: "Tan Tan, haven't you noticed? His mouth stinks a lot now. Seriously, you can smell it even from three meters away. I heard it's because his gastrointestinal function hasn't recovered yet."
Lin Tan Tan looked at Mei Bosheng, unsure: "Maybe? Doesn't his body produce some waste? Bad breath is normal, and his bowel movements these days may also be..."
"Stop talking!" Mei Bosheng looked like he surrendered.
He grabbed a tablet from the coffee table and started playing games, but his hands were still like chicken claws, so he couldn't play very skillfully.
Lin Tan said with a smile: "Do you want to recover sooner? Come here and I will comb your hair for you."
Mei Bosheng immediately threw down the tablet and came over happily.
Ye Xiao said to Lin Tantan, "Isn't it too hard?"
"It's okay, it'll just take a moment."
Lin Tantan held Mei Baisheng's hand, and a faint green fluorescence lit up in the palm of his hand. The fluorescence quickly circulated in Mei Baisheng's body. It took less than two minutes, but Mei Baisheng felt much more comfortable. His originally stiff joints loosened a lot, and his stomach gurgled twice, which was the sound of intestinal peristalsis.
Everyone was just staring at him in surprise, but suddenly Lin Tan's expression changed: "Don't stay here, go outside!"
However, she was a little too late. The next moment, there was a loud noise and an indescribable smell instantly spread in the living room.
Everyone: “!”
Ye Xiao was the one who reacted the fastest. He pulled Lin Tan Tan to the balcony. The others also dodged and cleverly closed the kitchen door. The next moment, a gust of wind came out from Ye Xiao's hand, swept around the living room, and went out of the window.
Before Mei Baisheng recovered from the comfort of expelling the exhaust gas, he found that everyone around him had run away. They were standing in the distance, gnashing their teeth and looking at him. He chuckled twice and said, "Well, I couldn't help it." Then he covered his stomach and hurried to the toilet.
Soon, crackling sounds came from the toilet, which anyone who has ever had diarrhea can understand.
Everyone: “…”
Lin Tantan wanted to laugh really, but she tried hard to hold it back and pretended nothing had happened. After all, she was one of the culprits.
They chatted and laughed easily until it was finally time for the meal. At the table, Ye Xiao and the others raised their glasses and solemnly thanked Lin Tantan again for saving Mei Baisheng, which made Lin Tantan feel a little embarrassed. These people were really serious when they got serious. She finally understood why this sumptuous meal was prepared.
After expressing their gratitude, they talked about their future plans. Today is the 5th, and according to the news they received, the army should arrive in about ten days.
"What happened to Meimei was an accident, and it wasn't done by anyone else. If we have to settle the score, it should be with Cai Chengliang. It has nothing to do with the ordinary people of Yang City. Since we have the ability, we should save more people and do more for the people here. What do you think?" Ye Xiao said to his teammates.
The others were speechless. Mei Bosheng chuckled and said, "Boss, you're right. If I want revenge, I'll go after Cai Chengliang. That bastard was tortured to death by Old Bai and can't make any more waves. This has nothing to do with others."
This guy just solved a major life issue in the toilet. Now he feels relaxed and light-hearted, with a smile on his white and pink face.
If someone among the people they rescued this time held a grudge against Mei Bosheng and wanted to kill him, they would definitely be disheartened. They were soldiers, not saints. It was impossible for them to save people and bring resentment upon themselves, and then risk their own lives to save more people. Not to mention that there was no order from above. If they really followed the order from above, they should have set off north by now.
But Cai Chengliang was different. He was not from Yang City, and he had been holding a grudge against them from the beginning. He felt that all of them had neglected him. There was no need for him to think that everyone was ungrateful and heartless just for something that was so crooked at its root.
"Then we will study it later and decide what to do next." Ye Xiao said.
Bai Cheng also spoke up: "I think we don't need to go out and rescue people one by one. There are nearly 5,000 people here now. It's not easy to manage them, and it's not easy to ensure absolute safety here. It's better to spread the word and let the survivors in Yang City know about this place and let them come here on their own. As long as they can come and obey our management, we will ensure their safety until the army arrives."
He looked at Ye Xiao and said, "What we need to worry about most now is supplies. We got some supplies from the mall yesterday, but there wasn't much food. If thousands of people just sit there and eat, it will be gone in a few days. Once the food is insufficient, they will immediately start to panic."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Bai Cheng's statement.
Lin Tantan looked at Ye Xiao, then at Bai Cheng, feeling very emotional. It was quite consistent with the unofficial history and what was written above. Ye Xiao was a more upright person, and he attached more importance to his responsibilities as a soldier of the people, and he had a strong sense of responsibility.
Bai Cheng is a more complicated person. Instead of saving others, he actually values his own interests more, or in other words, the interests of their entire team more.
From these few sentences, it can be seen that Bai Cheng is actually more inclined to focus more on managing the existing survivors, giving them benefits in exchange for obedience, and there may be various training and differentiation of them later.
He also has a very important idea. He doesn't want to manage or protect everyone. He doesn't care about those who don't have the ability to come here by themselves or the courage to face this dangerous world by themselves. He won't run to people's doors, knock on them and say, "Hey, we're here to save you, come out quickly."
As for Lin Tantan herself, she prefers Bai Cheng's approach. It's not that Ye Xiao is bad. Ye Xiao can give his companions a strong sense of security, making people feel very reliable and willing to trust and obey him. Bai Cheng, on the other hand, can better protect the interests of his own people.
Without Bai Cheng, Ye Xiao would be like someone who conquers a kingdom but struggles to maintain it. Internal affairs might go wrong, and without Ye Xiao's powerful and unconditional military support, Bai Cheng's plans, no matter how many, might not materialize. The two are indispensable and complement each other.
This may also be the reason why Zhengyang Base was able to become the number one base in the previous life.
Lin Tantan sighed inwardly, then his eyes suddenly lit up. Biting the ends of his chopsticks, the CP fan in his heart crawled up and beat his chest and roared, "Ahhh, is there anything more compatible than this? This is a match made in heaven!"
Ye Xiao looked at Bai Cheng at this time and quickly understood what he meant. He sighed in his heart. Bai Cheng didn't want everyone to work too hard. Would he be willing to take his brothers on adventures?
Although Mei Bosheng's incident had nothing to do with ordinary people, it also reminded him that he absolutely could not agree to sacrifice his brothers who had shared life and death with him for people he didn't know.
He said, "That's fine. I'll do as you say."
Oh my, this tone is really doting! Lin Tantan quickly ate a piece of pickled fish to hide his expression that might be a little bit unbearable, and he couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
Bai Cheng smiled after hearing Ye Xiao's words and continued, "We still need to recommend some useful people." He looked at Lin Tan Tan with a smile, "Like the dozen or so students that Tan Tan promoted, they are quite capable."
Lin Tantan was stunned when his name was suddenly mentioned, and quickly swallowed the fish in his mouth: "You mean, Chiang Kai-shek likes them?"
"Yes, they admire you very much and have been asking when you will be back." And they kept calling her "Sister Lin", and their tone showed real respect for Lin Tan.
Lin Tan smiled and said, "Where are they? I'll go see them later."
"Not only them, but also the thirteen people with fever are worried about you."
Lin Tan Tan just remembered this: "How are they?"
"Very good. Some of them have already developed superpowers. The rest haven't, but they are in good condition."
