There were two cars left in the yard. One was the van carrying Jiang Xiaotian's precious equipment. Jiang Xiaotian and the driver Qian Kai got out. The other was driven by Lin Tantan's Pi, and Qian Feifei was the driver, who naturally came along as well.
There was also Mei Baisheng, who was exhausted and half dead, and Cheng Qinan, who was in the same car with Ye Xiao and had been wet in the rain for so long, and now his face was as pale as a ghost.
Well, and the mutant rats that got out of the pickup truck one by one.
Mei Bosheng and Cheng Qinan floated in like sleepwalkers, while Qian Kai and Qian Feifei were a little at a loss, as it seemed inappropriate for them to stay here.
Lin Tan looked around and said, "You guys stay and help me unload the truck first."
All the supply trucks were abandoned, but Lin Tantan's pickup truck was a private car, and it would not affect the speed of the entire convoy like a large truck, so it was kept. Many of the supplies on it could be used now.
Without the supply truck, these people are not like those survivors who have some necessities for survival. They are basically empty-handed, so they have to rely on Bai Cheng's space for food, clothing and daily necessities. But Bai Cheng is now in the residential area, distributing supplies to those psychics and guards who have helped.
Those people just risked their lives to help, so now we naturally have to make proper arrangements for them.
"Fei Fei, look for anything we need right now that's not in the villa. Take it out first and let everyone go wash up and change into clean clothes."
"Okay." Qian Feifei responded immediately. These supplies were collected by her on behalf of Lin Tantan, and she was careful to take all kinds of daily necessities, all of which were brand new. All the toiletries were ready at this time, but there were no spare clothes for men.
Fortunately, there were a few people in Jiang Xiaotian's carriage, which could temporarily support them.
The villa area also has limited water and electricity supply. You just need to use a magnetic card to pay. You can get 100 liters of water a day, and it will be gone once it is used up.
She first asked the half-dead Mei Baisheng and Cheng Qinan to take a shower. There was a bathroom upstairs and downstairs in the villa.
Jiang Xiaotian came down from the stairs and said, "Let's talk. The master bedroom upstairs has its own bathroom. You can stay in that one."
There was no need to give in on such a matter. Lin Tan nodded and went upstairs.
The master bedroom upstairs was slightly larger than the average room, but it was empty. Apart from a bed and a wardrobe, there was basically nothing inside. The bathroom was also empty. Lin Tantan thanked Qian Feifei who helped her get the things up, closed the door, looked at the dusty bathroom, turned on the faucet, and out came rusty water, which returned to its normal color after a while.
She simply turned off the faucet and released a thin stream of water from her hand. The stream split into two, then into four, and then split even thinner, like a simple shower head, flushing the entire bathroom. Then she put her toiletries on one by one, took off her clothes, and used her water-based abilities to shower herself and wash her hair.
There were her clothes on the pickup truck. Just as she was about to put them on, she suddenly looked at her left arm. The stump was very ugly. Although Lin Tantan did not dislike herself, she did not like to look at it too much. At this moment, she took a quick look and suddenly found that... it seemed to be a little longer.
Is this... slowly growing?
Lin Tan Tan measured the length and decided to pay attention to it every day. He put on his clothes, emitted a fireball in his hand, controlled the temperature and shape, formed a flat hat shape, quickly dried his short hair, and finally put on clean and waterproof boots and went downstairs.
Bai Cheng had already arrived and placed a pile of supplies on the sofa. When he saw her, he said, "Let's talk. This quilt is for you."
There was only one set of quilts on the sofa, placed in an unopened bag, and the rest were sleeping bags.
Lin Tantan said, "I'll use a sleeping bag too."
"It's okay. We still have plenty of quilts. We are used to sleeping in sleeping bags. Girls should be given special care. Otherwise, Ye Xiao will be angry with me."
He even made a joke. When Lin Tantan heard this, his heart was beating like a drum. He quietly moved to Bai Cheng's side. When no one else was paying attention, he said in a low and solemn voice: "Brother Bai, Ye Xiao and I, ahem, Captain Ye, have nothing to do with each other. Really."
Bai Cheng paused, then looked up in surprise: "What did you say?"
Lin Tantan thought he didn't believe it, and he felt very pressured looking at those eyes that seemed to see through everything. He quickly made an swearing gesture: "Really, really, there is no special relationship at all, just a pure relationship between people." After saying that, he said "um" heavily, as if to make his words more credible.
Bai Cheng was unusually confused: "What did Ah Xiao do to upset you?"
"No, no, that's not it." Lin Tantan quickly denied it three times. Bai Cheng was very jealous, but he was also very protective of his people. No one could say anything bad about Ye Xiao in front of him. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Bai Cheng thought about it and felt that it was necessary to worry about his friend's lifelong happiness: "Then why did you suddenly... I saw that you and him were getting along quite happily?"
Lin Tan was sweating. Was this irony? This was a satire filled with the aura of death. The worst part was that Bai Cheng's expression was so sincere, as if he was genuinely confused by this matter.
Lin Tantan was anxious. He looked around and pulled Mei Bosheng over. "I get along very well with everyone. The happiest one is Meimei. Meimei, right? We have the best relationship!"
Mei Bosheng was still a little dizzy. He looked at Lin Tan blankly and nodded, "Yes."
Bai Cheng looked at Lin Tan Tan, who had a sincere look on his face, and then looked at Mei Baisheng, who had a confused look on his face but responded very sincerely. He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "I can't help you this time, Ye Xiao," and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Seeing that he believed her, Lin Tantan breathed a sigh of relief. This hurdle should be over. She recalled what the mixed-race young man at the gate had said. In the eyes of others, did she really have something going on with Ye Xiao? It seemed that she had to stay away from Ye Xiao and avoid suspicion as much as possible.
So she was very worried about Ye Xiao the whole afternoon, but she didn't dare to ask. However, Bai Cheng didn't stay in the villa all the time. He ate a quick lunch and went out.
Lin Tantan wandered around the villa. Seeing that everyone was catching up on their sleep and she herself couldn't sleep, she called the mutant rats over, put water in a basin, and brought them in one by one to take a bath.
After taking a bath, the mutant mice were clean, their fur was fluffy, and there was no peculiar smell on their bodies. They finally looked less dirty. Lin Tantan made a big cardboard box for them in the corner of the living room, put a few layers of blankets in it, and used it as their nest.
Later in the evening, Xu Qin, Xu Li and Zhong Xiong also came back to rest. They said that the accommodation for the team had been arranged and everyone should have a place to stay by evening.
Lin Tan Tan asked them about Ye Xiao's situation, and they told her that Ye Xiao had left the base and was with the troops in the base, probably the same group as Xing Guoliang.
Lin Tantan frowned slightly: "Is that so."
After all, I went there. It should be OK, right?
The rain got heavier in the afternoon and it was dark. Everyone came back, but Ye Xiao had not returned yet.
Lin Tantan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, bored, playing games on his phone until around nine o'clock. He heard the sound of a car driving into the yard, and hurried to the door to see. Two large beams of light shone in, illuminating the rain curtain very clearly.
Lin Tan Tan hurriedly ran upstairs. When he reached the second floor, two people just walked in from outside the living room. One was Bai Cheng and the other was Ye Xiao.
Because of limited electricity, there was only a small light on in the living room. Lin Tantan had to look hard to see that Ye Xiao looked much worse than during the day, but he was just a little dirty, and everything else was fine.
Just at this moment, Ye Xiao also looked up, as if he had locked onto Lin Tantan at first sight.
Lin Tan Tan: "..." She was obviously very dark, how could you see it at a glance?
She raised her hand and waved: "Are you back?"
Ye Xiao nodded: "Yeah."
"Oh." Lin Tantan responded dryly with a single syllable, "Then I'll go to bed."
Go back to your room and close the door.
Ye Xiao was waiting for her to ask something: "..."
The living room was silent, as if a cold wind was blowing through.
"Pfft." Bai Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing. Ye Xiao glanced at him with a dark look on his face. Bai Cheng restrained his expression: "Honestly, what did you do to make people avoid you?"
Ye Xiao frowned: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that in the afternoon, she assured me that she had nothing to do with you, and said that she and Meimei were best friends." Bai Cheng conveyed Lin Tan's words verbatim, without adding any exaggeration, but he could hardly hide his gloating. To be honest, it was quite interesting to see Ye Xiao get humiliated.
Ye Xiao's face darkened even further, and his brows furrowed even tighter. Bai Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, clean yourself up. Maybe they don't want to bother with you because you look so bad. Oh, and the room next to her is reserved for you."
Ye Xiao didn't say anything and went upstairs. When he came out after he finished cleaning, Lin Tan's door was still closed. He looked at the time and it was already late. He didn't bother about it anymore. He ate something and went to bed.
The next day was still a rainy day. As Ye Xiao said, many people were sick, some with coughs, some with colds, and some with fevers. Lin Tan didn't care about other people, but she treated those who had worked hard yesterday for free.
So she went to work to provide free medical services in the morning.
Everyone was free for a rare time, and Ye Xiao stayed in the villa and did not go out. He watched Lin Tantan treating others.
Lin Tan Tan was under a lot of pressure. She knew that he was not looking at her on purpose, but what if he was misunderstood again?
She just kept her head down and pretended she knew nothing.
Another one was cured, and Lin Tantan stopped: "It's done."
This guy was still reluctant to leave: "Ms. Lin, is this really not a sign of awakening my superpowers?"
Lin Tantan told him ruthlessly: "It's really not."
The other person walked away dejectedly. The next one was Jiang Zhongyi. He had two pieces of paper stuffed in his nose. He said in a muffled voice with excitement and anticipation: "Sister, I have a stuffy nose, a headache, and a slight fever. My body is sore and painful. Do you think I'm about to awaken my superpowers?"
Lin Tantan was speechless. How could these people be so happy even though they were sick? Although this rain was said to cause the zombies to evolve and also awaken many people's superpowers, the probability was quite small.
Lin Tantan hooked a belt around Jiang Zhongyi's wrist, then paused and looked at him.
Jiang Zhongyi's face was full of anticipation: "How is it?"
Lin Tan Tan probed carefully again and withdrew his hand: "You should have super powers."
"Ah? Really? What kind of power is that?"
Lin Tan Tan: "Why don't you just release it and try it yourself?"
Then Jiang Zhongyi was so excited that he released a sea of fire.
Lin Tantan, sitting nearby, bore the brunt of the blaze. She instinctively raised her hands to shield her face, a swift yet gentle breeze brushing against her cheek. She opened her eyes and saw the chaotic flames, enveloped by an invisible force, transform into a fireball before extinguishing with a puff.
Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment, then realized that the fire was wrapped by the wind-based ability, and then all the air was sucked out to extinguish it.
Ye Xiao came to her side and looked at her carefully: "You are not burned?"
Lin Tantan's eyes sparkled: "Your ability..." She wanted to say that your ability has improved again, but then she remembered that she had to avoid suspicion, so she quickly stopped laughing and shook her head seriously: "It's okay, I didn't get burned."
Just then, Mei Baisheng murmured, "Fire element, I want it so much."
Lin Tan Tan took the opportunity to sit over and comfort him: "It's okay, your abilities are also very strong."
Ye Xiao looked at her deeply, then looked at Mei Baisheng, pursed his lips slightly, and when he turned to Jiang Zhongyi, his eyes became extremely stern.
Jiang Zhongyi was still confused about what was happening, and then he was... thrown out of the villa.
The author has something to say: Yexiao was screaming inwardly: Why, why is she suddenly so cold to me?! What did I do wrong?
Bai Cheng: Touch it (resisting gloating)
Tan Tan: We absolutely cannot let Bai Cheng misunderstand (serious face)
