Chapter 32



"When I heard you were unhappy, I became unhappy too. When I heard you had a poor appetite, I lost my appetite too. When I heard you were sick, I felt incredibly distressed. Even if you only had a minor scrape, I felt as if the pain was actually on my body..."

The affectionate confession continued. There was only a dim light in the corridor. 301 was at the end, so Ye Xiao's figure was not illuminated by the light. His face was also hidden in the darkness, with his eyes half-closed as if he was thinking about something.

"I still remember those timid eyes of yours every time you stole a glance at me. I also remember the way you would shyly smile whenever I spoke to you..."

Ye Xiao: "..." The more I listened, the more wrong it seemed. Timid eyes, shy smile, is this Lin Tan Tan?

Thinking of her fierce action yesterday, that "beep", the corners of his mouth curled up and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he coughed, and the sound was particularly clear in the quiet corridor. Chen Zhihao, who was racking his brains for words, was frightened and shuddered. He turned around and saw a tall, dark figure standing by the next door.

"Who? Who is there?" Chen Zhihao was very scared.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Xiao said coldly.

Just this one sentence made Chen Zhihao feel the danger and pressure. He swallowed and mumbled, "Well, I, I'll come find someone."

Ye Xiao: "Who are you looking for?"

"My girlfriend lives here."

Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Girlfriend? Are you sure?"

As he spoke, he stood up from the wall. This action frightened Chen Zhihao so much that his heart trembled. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Then he remembered belatedly that 301 seemed to be next door, and the people living in 301...

He suddenly felt his legs go weak and he held onto the wall. Chen Qianya, who had been hiding on the side, had no choice but to run out and support Chen Zhihao. She smiled apologetically at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother, we really do know Lin Tantan who lives here. She and I are classmates and have a very good relationship. Moreover, my brother and she are..."

She spoke ambiguously, her posture timid and gentle, "She seems to have some misunderstanding about my brother. Do you know her? Can you help us call her? My brother has been standing here for most of the day, and she hasn't come out to open the door."

Of course, she also remembered who lived in 301. As long as she established a good relationship with one of them, her food, clothing, and accommodation would not be bad. If that didn't work, she could even destroy Lin Tantan's relationship with them.

But Chen Qianya wanted more than just these. She had found out that Room 301 was full of men, and she was good-looking and only twenty years old. It would be best if she could catch one.

Instead of letting her brother rely on Lin Tantan, it is better for her to rely on herself.

If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have given all the water to her brother to clean up his own.

Chen Qianya felt regretful and knew that her image was not very good now, so she had to use a woman's trick to act weak and arouse people's sympathy and pity.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao didn't even look at her. He now had the same idea as Jiang Xiaotian. If Lin Tantan had really shown any interest in this man, then her vision was really bad.

He said to the man, "You said you were Tan Tan's boyfriend?"

Chen Zhihao hesitated, and suddenly he saw the man opposite him raised his hand, and then something rushed towards him and brushed past his head. He cried out in surprise and touched his head hurriedly, and found that there were three bald spots on the top of his head, which were surprisingly smooth.

He collapsed to the ground in an instant, and Chen Qianya almost collapsed.

At this time, Ye Xiao was still asking, his voice was particularly scary: "Answer me."

Chen Zhihao said anxiously: "No, no, I'm not her boyfriend. I have nothing to do with her."

Ye Xiao seemed satisfied: "If I hear you tell others about your relationship with her again, next time I will cut off a different hair."

Chen Zhihao felt a sharp pain in his head, and it was also cold, as if someone had cut it open. He quickly got up, and Chen Qianya immediately stopped having those messy thoughts. The two of them supported each other and ran away.

With a click, the door beside Ye Xiao opened, and a black head popped out. Lin Tantan saw Ye Xiao and smiled: "You are here." Just now, she turned her head and found that Ye Xiao was not there. When she came out to see, he was indeed outside.

She felt relieved when she found out that the person was not lost. Just as she was about to retreat, Ye Xiao called her: "Talk."

"Huh?"

Ye Xiao looked at her with a complicated expression, then said, "Come out, I have something to tell you."

Is this so serious?

Lin Tan Tan shrank his neck, looked at the dark and empty corridor, walked out of the door obediently, and followed him to the side.

"W-what's going on?"

Ye Xiao was silent for a while before he said carefully: "You are still young, there is no need to rush into matters of the heart."

Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on and blushed. "You're talking about Chen Zhihao. I was just young and ignorant, fooling around. I won't do it again."

How long will she have to bear the blame?

This is the trouble with using someone else's body. I don't know how much more of a mess the original body has.

This time it was someone she had pursued in the past, so it was easy to get rid of him. But what if the relatives of her original body really showed up next time? Could she just kick them away?

She grimaced at the thought.

Ye Xiao continued calmly but seriously, "There are many people in this world who are two-faced. They say nice things, but you don't know what they are up to. You must be cautious when interacting with others and don't trust them easily. Do you understand?"

He was genuinely worried that Lin Tantan had been deceived. She was already a pretty girl with a very likable personality, and now she possessed dual abilities, both of which were exceptionally strong. It was easy to imagine how many people would be attracted to her. And she... seemed to trust people easily, completely oblivious to the need for reserve when interacting with others.

Think about it, it's only been a few days since they met, and she's helped them a lot. She even broke a hand for Mei Bosheng. It's said that she teaches those with special abilities without reservation...

He looked at her left arm tucked into her down jacket, his eyes becoming distant. Then he sighed and patted her head: "Forget it, I'll help you check it."

Lin Tan Tan: I always feel like I’m being treated as a retard, but…if a retard can be patted on the head, then so be it.

She spun around happily, and was still beaming as she followed Ye Xiao back. Then, seeing Bai Cheng suddenly sober up, she quickly moved away from Ye Xiao and clapped her hands next to Bai Cheng, "Great, great, great."

Bai Cheng was testing whether living things could be placed in the space, and then put a small insect in. When he took it out, it turned into a dead insect: "..."

Over the next few days, many survivors arrived in the west of the city every day. Anyone who hadn't been bitten or scratched by zombies was taken in. The east, west, and north districts of Tianhe Jiayuan were cleared and people moved in. However, the conditions for those who arrived later were worse, with more than a dozen people often squeezing into one room. The floors they lived on were also getting higher and higher.

The standard three meals a day are still the same, but lunch is not always white rice. Sometimes it is noodles, sometimes it is steamed sweet potatoes or something.

Ye Xiao and his team selected some of the survivors, trained and instructed them, and sometimes even took them out to fight zombies. They also sent people to stand guard day and night. The western part of the city was becoming increasingly large.

On January 8th, the water supply was cut off, and on the 10th, all the reserved water was used up. Water supply became a big problem, and water-based mutants became popular. However, in addition to the original two water-based mutants, another one came later. The amount of water produced by the three water systems every day was pitifully limited. Ye Xiao took people to a drinking water company and brought back several trucks of drinking water.

But it's just a drop in the bucket.

Lin Tantan scratched her head. She really couldn't stand not being able to use water, so she decided to be self-sufficient and began to absorb water crystal cores.

At the trench that had been dug out in a circle, the survivors were using the excavated soil and some bricks, cement and other materials from a nearby construction site to build a wall on the inward side of the trench. Lin Tantan was still supervising the work, holding a water crystal core in her hand. Someone came over with a cart of bricks and stones, and when they saw her, they lowered their heads and took a detour.

Lin Tantan was no longer surprised. She didn't know why Chen Zhihao was so surprised when he saw her that he looked like he saw a ghost. She couldn't help but take a few more glances at his dog-like head.

I heard that he had offended someone, who secretly came over at night and shaved his hair three times, and also applied some kind of lotion. Hair would no longer grow in the shaved areas. He thought it looked ugly, so he wanted to shave off all his hair, but because he was reluctant to hire a barber, he tinkered with it himself. Not only did he make his scalp tattered, but he also cut his hair into long and short pieces. The final product was simply ugly.
