In the end, Ye Xiao did not approve of his proposal to chop off people's fingers and dig out their eyes. Jiang Xiaotian and Mei Bosheng were very disappointed. As for Lin Tantan... Lin Tantan silently lowered his head, as quiet as a chicken, pretending that he did not exist.
This made Ye Xiao look at her with amusement: "But this suggestion is still very worthwhile." He said.
Lin Tan Tan looked up and glanced at him, ahem, feeling a little embarrassed.
Then, at everyone's request, Ye Xiao spoke to Min Yande in front of everyone. He told the other party that if he wanted Cai Chengliang to return alive, he should not do anything tricky and should send the army within ten days.
Min Yande almost thought he had misheard. Was he being threatened by his own subordinates?!
"What did you say?" A middle-aged man's voice, both incredulous and furious, came from the other end of the line. Everyone in the living room was amused. Mei Bosheng rolled up his sleeves, motioned for Ye Xiao to hand him the phone, and then he spoke into the phone, "Old Min, don't you want us to rescue Xu Juan? Okay, just send us that secret. We won't work without it."
The person on the other end of the phone was suppressing his anger: "Who are you? Where is Ye Xiao? Let Ye Xiao tell me!"
"Our boss is busy and doesn't have time to talk to you. You said you've been urging them to rescue that mother and daughter every other day. If you didn't know, you'd think they were your mistress and illegitimate daughter. Tell me, how much has the boss done for you? You're someone with your talent who's even got the chance to get on the stage. Are you just trying to curry favor by taking on these kinds of jobs? How many other clueless people like us have been sent around by you?"
Min Yande was furious: "You! You have no sense of organization or discipline. Do you still respect me as your leader? This is an order!"
"Bah! What kind of leader are you? How dare you flatter yourself? In the past, you always bowed and scraped in front of the real leaders. I've seen that you are not a good person. It's only now that there is no tiger in the mountain and you, the monkey, are the king!"
"It's settled, hurry up and send over everything you need to send, and don't be so picky. Also, don't you want to know who I am? I'm Mei Bosheng, originally from the XXX unit, and I joined in 2016. Hurry and check my files, and then fire me."
After saying this, Mei Bosheng hung up, feeling refreshed. This kind of jerk deserved a good scolding. He looked at the people staring at him and scratched his head, "I just can't stand this guy. I'm only speaking for myself. Anyway, if we didn't have a conversation, I'd be dead. I just want to live a comfortable life. I was planning to retire in two years."
No one said anything to him, but the word "retirement" struck a chord in many people's hearts.
Lin Tantan was confused throughout the whole process. She was still thinking about whether she could help Ye Xiao get out of the quagmire of the military, and even thought of a dirty trick for this purpose. Mei Baisheng simply said that he would not do it.
This is an assist.
She secretly gave Mei Baisheng a thumbs up.
No one knew how much Min Yande struggled over there, but he finally sent a piece of information overnight. The content was not much, but it made some analysis and speculation on the classification of superpowers, the use of crystal cores, and the upgrade of superpowers. Lin Tan took a look and found that most of them were wrong. He didn't know whether Min Yande had done something or the people in the Academy of Sciences were still groping.
Lin Tan Tan probably thinks it's both.
Then Min Yande also said that the army would be in place as usual and would try to arrive within ten days. There are not many available manpower now, and Yang City has a bad geographical location, so it really cannot be done quickly.
They didn't expect him to give in so quickly, and everyone was surprised. It was Bai Cheng who finally revealed the truth: "He probably hasn't completely secured his position yet, or he's just a subsidiary figure in his faction. After all, we are his people. If we can't suppress a small team, it will also show that he is incompetent."
He was so arrogant and rude before, probably because he didn't expect them to be so tough. That's how people are, they bully the weak and fear the strong. He was even more afraid that Cai Chengliang would really fall into their hands, so he wanted to make a big thing small.
Everyone was in mixed emotions. They should be happy that Min Yande was not having a good time, but when they thought about how their superior who had directly conveyed orders to them in the past was so cowardly, they felt as if they had lost value as well.
Since the goal had been achieved, Ye Xiao went to rescue people the next day. He did not go specifically for the mother and daughter, but went to a farmers' wholesale market, where they could find the rice, flour, oil and grain they needed, and the villa of the mother and daughter was roughly on the route.
Lin Tantan did not go, but Bai Cheng did, as his spatial ability was perfect for this kind of operation.
Lin Tantan brought Jiang Zhongyi's team and several people with special abilities to clean up the zombies. Several groups of zombies appeared last night. Some were blown into the sky, some stepped into traps, and some were blocked by roadblocks.
Boom! Boom! A woman in her twenties unleashed fireballs, hitting a zombie limping toward her with them. After seven or eight hits, she finally knocked the zombie to the ground. A relieved smile spread across her face, and she squatted on the ground to dig up the crystal core.
At the intersection, on a row of hedgehog-like roadblocks made of sharp construction equipment, there were several zombies pierced through their chests, but their arms were still waving and they kept roaring. A man kept shooting water arrows, stabbing the zombies' mouths. It took more than ten hits to pierce through the back of the head and completely kill the zombie.
Also on this row of roadblocks, a younger boy produced a lump of earth with sharp edges in his hand and threw it at the zombie hanging on the roadblock. It took several hits to smash the zombie's face.
In the distance, a baby-faced girl sent out green vines, tripped a zombie, then tied it up tightly with the vines, lifted it up and hit it with a huge pickaxe.
A capable woman in her thirties supported herself on the ground with her hands, creating a thin layer of ice on the ground. Then a wandering zombie slipped on the ice and fell. She and a boy went up with knives and started chopping it.
This was the method used by people with special abilities to kill zombies. It was rather clumsy and not very efficient, but it was indeed an effort to explore their abilities. Jiang Zhongyi, on the other hand, favored those without special abilities, who used sticks, axes, and machetes to kill zombies, which was much faster.
In addition, there are many more people who dare not or are unable to kill zombies, so they act as porters, moving the zombie corpses to a distant place, piling them up and setting them on fire.
Thick smoke drifted into the sky.
There were several excavators digging not far away, and the plan was to dig a three-meter-wide trench to block the zombies.
There were also many people working on new roadblocks and other tasks. Jiang Xiaotian, Mei Bosheng and others were also there. Like Lin Tantan, they were supervisors and commanders.
For example, if Lin Tantan sees someone who is overwhelmed, she will step in to help, while at the same time being on guard against zombie birds or something like that appearing from the sky.
With her around, those who kill zombies, move zombies, and do homework are much bolder.
With a whoosh, a pitch-black bird was slammed down from the sky by Lin Tantan's golden spike before it could even get close. Its range was astonishing. Someone quickly retrieved the bird with pliers. She examined it and saw it was a zombie bird. She cut open its tiny head but found no crystal core, so she signaled it could be burned.
The crystal core production rate of zombie animals is much lower.
She turned her head and looked at her side. A girl was pouring water into the cup in front of her. After filling four cups, she poured them into the bucket. She stopped, pinched the blue crystal core in her hand and slowly absorbed it. After a while, she started pouring water again. Compared with the three cups yesterday, she had obviously made progress today.
It’s just—”It’s okay for them to fight zombies, but why are you out here if you’re not fighting zombies?”
"Seeing everyone working hard motivates me to work harder, and I need to adapt to the environment." The water-type girl wiped the sweat from her face and said firmly, "When I'm outside, seeing zombies and zombie birds in the sky, I feel a strong sense of crisis. I think this will help me train myself to use my abilities stably in dangerous environments."
Okay, that's all very thoughtful.
After a while, several novice psychics came back one after another to absorb the crystal cores to replenish their energy. The water provided by the water girl was just enough for them to wash their hands and drink. After resting and absorbing enough, they went back to work.
The whole morning passed in such a busy manner. At noon, someone from Nanyuan brought food over. They held their bowls and ate on the spot. When a group of survivors arrived, they saw a group of young people eating lunch with their arms swinging.
"Ah, someone is coming." Lin Tantan said with a sharp eye, and everyone quickly finished their food, wiped their mouths and stood up, looking at this group of dusty, pale and thin people.
I feel a little wary. It's nothing but something wrong with these people's eyes. The one with green eyes, has he not eaten for a few days?
Moreover, there are more than a hundred people here, more men than women, all of them are in their prime. Don't be fooled by their pale faces and thin bodies. If a fight really starts, it will not be a joke. Look at them, most of them are holding weapons in their hands, and there are zombie things on them.
Fortunately, these people didn't lose their minds. A middle-aged man came out and said, "My name is Wei. We saw on the Internet that this is a temporary safe zone. Are you taking anyone in?"
Lin Tan Tan said, "Yes, but you have to follow our instructions and not cause any trouble. As for accommodation, see that building? It's an office building. You will stay there for the time being."
"Will you provide meals?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"We provide it, but it's not much. If you can kill zombies and do some work, there will be extra supply. It's basically distributed according to work."
The middle-aged man looked at her with a questioning look: "Who are you in charge of here?"
Well, I was underestimated. Lin Tantan called Xu Qin. As usual, when Ye Xiao was not around, Bai Cheng would be in charge. If Bai Cheng was not around again, Xu Qin would take over. In fact, he was the person with the second most seniority in the team, second only to Ye Xiao and Bai Cheng.
After a while, Xu Qin came out. He didn't look very good. He was probably studying how to improve the weapons. He was called out suddenly, so naturally he was in a bad mood. It wasn't directed at Lin Tan.
The most difficult person to deal with in this team is Xu Qin. Don't be fooled by his feminine appearance and his usual appearance of being easy to talk to, but he actually has a cold and hard personality. Especially if you disturb him when he is making weapons, he will turn his face black.
Lin Tantan touched his nose and thought it was not her fault. They had agreed in the morning that he would be called when someone came.
Xu Qin looked at the hundred or so people and asked, "Are there any people with special abilities?" No one answered. He then asked, "Is anyone with a fever?" No one responded either. Finally, he said, "Does anyone have any wounds? Inflicted by zombies."
The middle-aged man surnamed Wei quickly said, "No, no, absolutely not."
Cheng Qinan said calmly, "Then come with me. I'll do a simple checkup. Those with fever will be isolated, and those with wounds must leave."
He was about to leave when someone in the crowd suddenly called out, "Tan Tan? Are you Lin Tan Tan?"
Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment, then looked over and saw a man and a woman. They ran up to him with surprise on their faces: "You're actually here!"
