A bowl of hot noodles was served, with a somewhat ugly-looking poached egg on top.
Because the pork bone soup from the seasoning packet was added directly without any other seasoning, the taste was very good, but Lin Tantan was not paying attention while eating.
She glanced at Ye Xiao quietly, and then again. So, he didn't have any thoughts about her, but was just vying for favor out of a primary school student's dissatisfaction with being ignored?
Lin Tantan felt strange. Could Ye Xiao be such a person?
But compared to him "falling in love with someone else", she felt that this made more sense.
Lin Tantan was torn between a nagging feeling that something was wrong, yet another feeling that it must be this simple, and that moving out was unnecessary. He was simply concerned because she was a woman, disabled, and had saved Mei Bosheng's life. He was the team leader, and it didn't seem right to tell Bai Cheng anything other than him.
Moreover, if she were to treat herself as a friend, her behavior would indeed make her seem deliberately alienated and hurtful.
Lin Tantan was lost in thought, her eyes darting back and forth. Ye Xiao saw it all, feeling both amused and helpless. It was like watching a giant snail, with incredibly sharp tentacles, recede into its shell upon sensing his advances, only to slowly emerge when he moved away. He wanted to make it clear, but just the mere hint of such a sign had frightened her so much she was ready to flee, shell on her back.
Is he that bad and scary?
Helplessly, he remained silent for a long time. Since she didn't like it, he could only change his strategy. Giving up was impossible, so he could only take it step by step.
In fact, if it weren't for her evasive attitude and the appearance of that boy named Xu Tianjin, he wouldn't have been so anxious.
He lowered his eyes, then said naturally, "Do you still remember Zhou Yan?"
"Why?"
"Aren't you looking for this person? He's at the base right now, and I've found out everything about him. Would you like to hear about it?"
Although Xu Tianjin also talked about some things about Zhou Yan, what he knew was limited. Lin Tantan sat up straight and said, "You go ahead."
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Eat and listen to me while you eat."
"Zhou Yan opened a company in Ning City before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse arrived, he brought his surviving employees to the base within the first few days. He's good at socializing and got along well within the base. After he joined forces with Zhou Li, the two brothers' forces combined, giving them a lot of leverage, so they defected to the military."
Ye Xiao paused. "It's not Lü Jianping, but another force within the military. Their leader is from the same faction as my former boss. Although they lost the competition for the top leader of the base, their overall strength is not much worse than Lü Jianping's. Zhou Li handed Xu Meijuan and her daughter over to them, which was like a token of his loyalty, and he established a firm foothold."
Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment and swallowed a mouthful of noodles: "Xu Meijuan? Oh, I remember." They were the mother and daughter who were one of the four rescue targets of Ye Xiao and his team. They were rescued by Zhou Li first. Lin Tantan had seen them from afar on the migration road. They were quite beautiful, with the beauty of a mature woman.
At that time, she also thought that unofficial history said that Zhou Li's rise to power was related to a woman, because this woman had connections with the military. When she saw Xu Meijuan, a lot of nonsense suddenly came to her mind, such as they cheated on Xu Meijuan's ex-boyfriend, and then colluded with each other to seize the other's power and so on.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
Suddenly, I thought: "That Mr. Xu and those two scientists..."
“They all went there too.”
"Then you don't have any reward?" Zhou Li established a foothold in the military with just one rescue target, but Ye Xiao still has two.
Ye Xiao: "Cai Chengliang is still in our hands."
Okay, I understand.
Ye Xiao continued, "Zhou Li is already a very popular figure over there, and Zhou Yan's status has risen with him. If you... have any old grudges against him, don't do anything rash."
Lin Tan Tan asked, "What if I absolutely want him to die?"
Ye Xiao looked at her for a moment and thought, "If we just want him dead, it would be simpler. Although there are always many people around him, they are not important figures. It is not difficult to assassinate him." He was silent for a moment, "I will help you."
Lin Tan Tan's heart was slightly shaken: "You don't ask me why I did that. What if I killed him just because I wanted to, and he's completely innocent?"
"I don't know what grudge you have, but I believe you're not someone who can't tell right from wrong. If that person made you want to kill him, there must be a reason. Of course, if you're willing to tell me, I'd be happy to listen."
Lin Tan Tan lowered his head and stirred the almost finished noodle soup, thinking, no, I can't say it. Zhou Yan and I have never met each other, and he has never done anything to harm me in this era.
He's just... unfair to you.
He clearly took advantage of your opportunity and used your banner to win the hearts of the people to become president, but after he secured that position, he erased all your deeds.
Their Zhou family, generation after generation, has dominated the new country, upholding their one-man rule, and subtly and tirelessly downplaying the achievements of other powerful people in the apocalypse. As the most powerful person, you, images, texts, audios, and all information have been almost completely destroyed.
After the new era, starting from the third or fourth generation, almost no one knows of your existence, and no one remembers what you have contributed to this world.
If, if it weren't for the hostile politicians of the Zhou faction who wanted to bring them down and sparked an archaeological craze, who would have known that there was a person named Ye Xiao in the end times, who would have known about your love, hate, joy, sorrow, life and death?
Whenever Lin Tantan thought of this, he felt sad and at the same time disgusted with Zhou Yan and his descendants.
Especially after she actually came into contact with Ye Xiao, this disgust and aversion penetrated deep into her bones, so strong that she wanted to kill Zhou Yan directly to prevent future troubles.
But she began to hesitate to act directly like this. She had to find out why the apocalypse process was accelerating. If the changes she made would lead to a butterfly effect, Zhou Yan was the future president. If she killed him, who knew what would happen.
But no matter what she did, she didn't want to drag Ye Xiao into this.
Lin Tan Tan looked up and said, "Don't worry about this matter. It's just a small personal grudge. I can handle it myself. But thank you for telling me this."
Ye Xiao looked at her for a long time: "Okay, tell me if you need help."
Lin Tantan laughed: "Okay." A person who had once disappeared in history was now sitting in front of him, and Lin Tantan became happy again.
…
While they were talking about Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan was also talking about the two of them.
"That Xu Tianjin, did he really go to talk to that Lin and never come back?" Zhou Yan frowned.
The person he was questioning quickly said, "Our people didn't dare to follow too closely, but Xu Tianjin did follow. We had planned to look for Xu Tianjin tonight, but he seems to be living with quite a few people now."
"Are you sure Xu Tianjin didn't know that Lin Tantan before?"
"They probably don't know each other. Xu Tianjin was born in Ning City and has never left. Her life is very simple. She's never met anyone named Lin Tan Tan... Oh, by the way, her previous name was Lin Tan Tan. I don't know why she changed it, but that's the name she registered at the base." The person who responded added, "But it's difficult to find out her life story now. Maybe they met online?"
Zhou Yan was very annoyed and what he said was all nonsense!
But there was one thing he was sure of, there was something wrong with this Xu Tianjin. Many of his little habits were completely different from the previous Xu Tianjin. Zhou Yan had a hunch that he couldn't let this person go. And this person would rather sneak around and wait for several days to get in touch with Lin Tan, so he shouldn't be underestimated either.
At this time, Zhou Li came back, and Zhou Yan hurried over to pretend to be his younger brother: "Brother, what did Major General Li want to talk to you about? Why did you take so long?"
Zhou Li was not on guard against his younger brother, not because of their deep brotherly love, but because in his eyes Zhou Yan was too weak. As long as Zhou Yan was in good shape, he would know what was good for him and he would follow suit, so he was very confident in him.
He said, "Leave the base tomorrow and get supplies."
"Leaving the base? Even though the rain has almost stopped, there are still a lot of zombies outside, right?"
"Yes, but not much. It's precisely because others are afraid to go out that we have to go out." Zhou Li sat down on the chair and narrowed his eyes. "This rain has been going on for more than half a month. Do you know how many people have starved to death? All parties are putting pressure on Lv Jianping to distribute relief food to ordinary people, but where can Lv Jianping get extra food? Whoever can distribute relief food at this time, even a few grains of rice per person, will win people's hearts."
"So what's the goal for tomorrow?"
"Granary."
Zhou Yan thought: "There is only one grain depot left in Ning City that has not been opened yet. I remember it is very far away from here."
"Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, so we must go to the granary, but it is also a cover. The primary target is the supply truck."
"Supply truck?" Zhou Yan wanted to ask where the supply truck came from, but then he remembered something and pointed in the direction of the villa area to the east. "Is it from over there?"
Zhou Li nodded. Although those supply trucks were abandoned by the convoy on its own initiative and Bai Cheng personally ordered them to do so, they were still labeled as belonging to Yang City. It could even be said that they were the private property of Ye Xiao and Bai Cheng's gang. Touching them would be tantamount to active provocation, but this was not something he could choose to do if he wanted to.
First of all, he knew best the location where the supply truck landed. Secondly, although he now had a lot of face in front of Major General Li, he had not done any practical work or made any achievements. This was his first opportunity to show himself, and he could not refuse.
Anyway, there is no way to make friends with Ye Xiao. If he is offended, then he is offended. This is a necessary choice.
He said, "Go and call the brothers, and set out at daybreak."
…
Almost not long after, Bai Cheng got the news in the villa and immediately knocked on Ye Xiao's door.
Lin Tantan was full and couldn't sleep. He walked around the room for a long time to digest the food before lying down. He vaguely heard some movement next door, knocking on the door, the sound of the door opening, and what seemed to be voices?
She didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when she thought about the noise of her opening the door and going downstairs, Ye Xiao, who lived next door, would think that she was going out to find food and would go downstairs to check on her. He was so concerned about her. Now it was her turn, how could she not show any reaction?
She looked at the time and it was the middle of the night. She thought something must have happened, so she got up and planned to take a look.
The door opened and he took two steps. The light was on in Ye Xiao's room. Bai Cheng was standing inside the door, and Ye Xiao was opposite him, one hand still holding the edge of the door. They must have been standing there talking after opening the door. Both of them were wearing sleeping clothes. Ye Xiao even exposed a little more chest skin, and his hair was a little messy. It was obvious that he had just been woken up.
Lin Tan Tan: “…” His mouth suddenly opened wide.
In an instant, a line of words flashed through my mind. Bai Cheng knocked on Ye Xiao's door in the middle of the night XXXXXX
The following 30,000 words of waste material are omitted. The erotic fan fiction she had read in the past suddenly overwhelmed her like a tide.
Bai Cheng turned around and saw her and smiled, "Let's talk. Did I wake you up?"
Ye Xiao's brows were slightly furrowed, but they relaxed when he saw her: "Are you still awake so late?"
Lin Tan Tan closed his mouth and said calmly, "Well, I just came out for a walk. I'm going back now. You guys... continue chatting."
He turned around, went back to his room, and slammed the door shut.
Then she screamed silently. Ahhhhh, is this so exciting? Wait, wasn't Ye Xiao frowning just now, as if he was embarrassed and reluctant? Ahhhh, what a slow-witted and unromantic guy!
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. He wondered if she was clumsy just now and her expression was weird. He subconsciously looked at himself and raised his hand to straighten his collar. Hmm, it seemed like he had found the reason.
The author has something to say: Tan Tan: Ahhhh what did I see! Yexiao you are such an unromantic guy, you are not happy even though someone took the initiative, I will tell you that you will never get a wife like this
Night snack: Well, she is shy, it seems that I am still very attractive
Bai Cheng: Just smiling is enough at this time
