Not only did Lin Tantan not think that it was a big deal for someone to steal people, Bai Cheng obviously thought so too. He was the one who was mainly responsible for recruiting people. He did not do it in a high-profile manner, but instead contacted the people he liked one by one in private.
The process should be quite smooth, and Lin Tantan also tried her best to help pick up the leftovers. She felt that her efficiency was too low and she was afraid that something might be missed. After thinking about it, she thought of the nest of mutant rats.
"It's this kind of energy fluctuation, remember?" She was like the strictest class teacher, using her own superpowers to simulate the state of a person about to awaken but not yet awakened, educating her students with a serious face.
The dozen or so mutant rats below were staring at her intently, their pairs of eyes as big as small black beans wide open, their short forelimbs raised and curled up in front of their bodies, each one almost standing up, and their pointed or flat heads turning as Lin Tan waved her arms.
Ye Xiao and others who were watching this scene said: "..."
I always feel like there are a lot of weird things sneaking into their team.
The mutant plant that was coiled obediently at Ye Xiao's feet "looked" over there with some longing, glanced at the big devil beside it, and thought that he would not stop it, so it crawled over cautiously and tentatively.
Its crawling is actually very unique. It is not a wriggling movement like that of a mollusk, but the short and thin tentacles on the rhizome extend slightly, grab the ground, and move the main body forward by pulling. Because the floor is too smooth, crawling on the marble floor seems a bit difficult.
After crawling out a little, he found that the big devil really had no intention of stopping him, so he immediately crawled happily to Lin Tantan's side and nodded frantically.
Lin Tantan was just thinking that a group of mutant rats didn't seem very smart and difficult to deal with, when he saw this guy's performance, his eyes lit up: "Remember this, be good, it's great." Lin Tantan touched the head and gave some energy. The mutant plants were so happy that a complete rhizome and two residual limbs twisted. Lin Tantan's mouth twitched, it was a bit eye-irritating.
The mutant rats were fed up and started squeaking around this strange thing.
These mutant rats seemed particularly sensitive to mutated plants, and they'd already suffered a heavy loss on their first encounter. Lin Tantan's first pet, the large gray rat, reacted most violently. Having been bound by a mutated herb, unable to break free, had always been a profound humiliation for the creature. Now, having grown in size and possessing even stronger gold abilities, it opened its mouth and gnawed at this pesky intruder.
Every bite left a tooth mark. Fortunately, the mutant plant had thick skin, but other mutant rats also pounced on it, and the latter were bitten all over with tooth marks, looking miserable.
Lin Tantan's class was disrupted like this. She shouted, "Oh, stop fighting! Break up!"
Ye Xiao held his forehead with his hand, while the others were overjoyed.
Although the teaching process was bumpy, the students were divided into two camps, and both sides wanted to show off and suppress the other side, so they worked hard. The mutant rats crawled along their own rat paths, wandering around the shantytowns to feel the strange energy fluctuations. As for the mutant plant, after many days of observation, Ye Xiao was finally willing to believe that it was a well-behaved mutant plant, and gave it a chance to show off.
This guy had been away from the land for several days and was almost wrinkled and wilted. Once he returned to the land, he was so happy that he was running around. He was in completely different states in the soil and on the ground, and he was very fast. If he hadn't climbed up the stairs and walked into the trap that night, even Ye Xiao might not have been able to catch him.
This guy regained his freedom and did not slip away. He went to work. He drilled into the ground of the shantytown and poked his head out to the ground. There were no masters in the shantytown, and the ground was covered with mud. He could come and go easily without worrying about being discovered. His efficiency was comparable to that of a dozen mutant rats.
On the first day alone, both sides found three targets who were suspected of awakening superpowers.
Lin Tantan was very surprised, but the problem was that the mutant rats could not speak, and the mutant plants could only make a "3" that seemed to be breaking themselves, and they could not tell her the target's information accurately.
She was just thinking about whether to teach them to read first, when Xu Li suddenly said, "How about I go with them to find someone?"
Lin Tantan was somewhat surprised by his sudden commitment. Xu Li was about the same age as Mei Bosheng and was the younger member of the team, but his personality was the complete opposite. He was shy and quiet, mostly silent, almost invisible. Furthermore, he practiced ancient martial arts and possessed some unique breathing techniques. Even if he sat there doing nothing, it was difficult to detect his presence. Therefore, while Lin Tantan was close friends with Mei Bosheng, he rarely interacted with Xu Li.
Seeing Lin Tantan looking at him, Xu Li patted his head and asked, "Is it okay?"
Lin Tan Tan said, "Of course, but are you going to do it?"
Xu Li smiled: "Let them lead the way, and I'll follow."
Then Lin Tantan felt for the first time what it meant to fly over eaves and walk on walls.
He really comes and goes without a trace, like wind, lightning, and fog. Even the more powerful psychics find it difficult to capture his breath and figure.
Xu Li happily accepted the task and set out after dark, first following the mutant rats to find people, and then following the mutant plants. The guy popped his head out from underground from time to time to give Xu Li signals. Before midnight, he found all six people, wrote them down one by one, and presented more detailed information early the next morning.
Lin Tan was amazed at his efficiency. Bai Cheng began to approach these six people. They were all poor people from the shantytown. They would work hard for a little money, but their character also needed to be examined. Bai Cheng seemed born to do this kind of thing. Even Ye Xiao was reluctant to get involved in this kind of thing, but he enjoyed it.
The job of picking up leaks thus fell primarily on the two mutants and Xu Li. While Lin Tantan didn't need to worry about Xu Li, he rewarded the first two whenever they performed well. The mutant plants only needed Lin Tantan's wood energy, a requirement the mutant rats hadn't originally sought, but seeing the mutant plants' actions, they too began to demand Lin Tantan's energy.
Lin Tan Tan originally wanted to reward them with canned meat and fruit, but he decisively followed the public opinion. As for energy, he could have as much as he wanted. It was both environmentally friendly and economical. He should save the fruit for himself.
Several days passed like this. The rain stopped and the weather remained sunny. The number of zombies outside the base finally decreased. After the last batch was completely eliminated by the army in the base, the base announced that the base gate would be open from that day on. It would be open from 7 am to 5 pm, and no entry or exit was allowed outside this time period.
As soon as the news spread, people were excited.
There is no other reason. Everyone has been cooped up for too long. They have been staying in this extremely densely populated place for so long. Except for a few jobs, most people are living off the land. The food crisis is getting worse and worse. People are starving to death or committing suicide every day. They need to go out for some fresh air and they need to find food!
In addition, the base guarantees that, considering that everyone's survival is not easy, for at least half a month, people do not have to hand in a penny of the food they get from outside when bringing it into the base - previously they had to hand in at least one-third of it.
Because of this, people became more motivated and regardless of the dangers outside, many people went out on the first day the base gate opened.
Some speculated what Ye Xiao and his group, already determined to develop their base in Ning City, would do on a day like this. Surely they would make some big move? Where would they choose as their destination? XX Farm? XX Farmers' Market? XX Grain Base?
However, those people guessed wrong. Ye Xiao and his team did not leave the base on that day. They started building a house!
…
The location was naturally the easternmost part of the base, near the parking lot. On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, Lin Tan gave himself a two-hour break and ran over to watch the excitement.
It was a truly vast expanse of land, over 40 mu (approximately 16 acres), and beyond it lay the base's perimeter wall. The reason such a large expanse of land remained vacant in the densely populated base was because it was mountainous, with numerous rocks and tree roots, and the ground was uneven, making it difficult to build a house. Furthermore, it was close to the perimeter wall, creating a dangerous environment and a sense of insecurity. Consequently, it remained abandoned, becoming a garbage dump over time.
Broken and abandoned vehicles are still okay, but domestic garbage is too ugly, especially after the heavy rain starts. The entire base is closed and the garbage cannot leave the base, so it can only be piled here. And because the terrain is low, the accumulated water flows here first, making it even more dirty and messy, like a flooded garbage dump.
In short, it is a place where no one cares about it, and no one is willing to come, except for the garbage collectors.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the water level of the river outside the base gradually dropped. Several main drainage channels in the base began to function, and the water in many flooded areas began to slowly recede. Ye Xiao organized some earth-type ability users to connect this land with the nearest drainage channel to drain the accumulated water.
After a few days of draining, the accumulated water was finally drained. When Lin Tan went to take a look today, there was almost no water on the ground, but more garbage was exposed. A bulldozer was shoveling the garbage and piling it up in one place for burning.
Garbage that has not yet dried is actually not easy to burn, but if the person who sets the fire is a fire-type mutant, it is a different story. There is no need to even add fuel. A few fire-type mutants stand in the upwind direction and throw out a few fireballs from time to time, and the pile of garbage will burn very quickly.
At the same time, there were several wind-type ability users blowing wind to make the burning smoke float out of the base, and all the strange smells also drifted away.
Lin Tan Tan looked up at the smoke that drifted away slowly and then slowly dissipated in the air. He felt that he had seen something new. It was the first time he knew that people with special abilities could be used in this way, as an incineration team. Well, this was very grand.
The onlookers in the distance were obviously much more surprised than her, and they were talking about it. Those who knew the situation said that he was indeed not an ordinary person. There were so many people with special abilities that they had no place to use them, right?
That's not all. After the garbage was cleared, a bumpy, soft, rotten ground mixed with many stones and rubble was left behind. It had a sour smell and bugs flying around. Then three professional excavators drove in.
The huge bucket shone golden in the sunlight, especially the teeth of the bucket, which were extremely sharp. With one stroke, even the largest and hardest stone could be cut in half. Digging the ground was as easy as shoveling potatoes.
Lin Tantan thought the teeth looked familiar, and after looking at them for a long time, he suddenly realized, "Isn't that it?"
Ye Xiao, who was standing next to her, said, "It's what Xu Qin has been holding in her hands every day these days."
The guess was confirmed, and Lin Tan fell silent. These days, Xu Qin didn't play with spoons or knives, nor did he mess with other metal materials in the villa. He just fiddled with thick, large and heavy triangular pieces of metal.
Lin Tantan only saw him occasionally at night and had no idea what he was tinkering with. It turned out that he was modifying the teeth of the bucket.
She guessed that he had modified each tooth individually, then used his supernatural powers to fuse them together, and finally installed the whole thing on the bucket.
His gold-related ability can change the shape of metal. With the help of some tools, welding is a piece of cake for him. Since he acquired this ability, he almost turned himself into a welder. He made the villa's security windows so that there were almost no welding marks. The bars seemed to have grown together by nature, and the same was true for the shovels in front of him.
She looked around and saw Xu Qin standing on a high ground watching the excavator working with a serious look on his face. She couldn't tell whether he was satisfied with the result or not.
The soil layer with messy stones and plant roots was shoveled away, and a large flat land gradually appeared. Then someone wearing high plastic boots came in, holding a blueprint and gesturing. Lin Tan asked what he was doing, and Ye Xiao said he was an architectural design engineer.
"..." Lin Tantan looked at the group of people who looked extremely professional and was impressed.
After a while, the men came over and said, "Captain Ye, based on our field investigation, we've made some changes to the plan. Take a look. Also, it would be best if the ground is raised by three to five meters. It's still too low now."
Lin Tantan looked at the red, green and colorful design drawings and felt dizzy. Ye Xiao said, "No problem. It can be completed within two days."
The leader of the engineers rubbed his hands together and said, "Then there's the building materials. We can try to make our own cement..." He paused, perhaps feeling a bit magical. "Although it's a bit difficult, it should be possible with the help of someone with special abilities. We can also bake our own bricks, but rebar is essential."
"Don't worry about that, it will be there."
The lead engineer moved his lips but couldn't help but say, "Captain Ye, this will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. It would be much simpler if we just built a single-story house."
Ye Xiao was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "It's easier to build a house with adobe and wooden boards, but that would mean a poor quality of life. We can't be careless about this. Anything that can be solved by human power is not a problem. Just go ahead and do it. I'll leave this project to you. If you need anything, just let me know."
The lead engineer, now the confirmed chief engineer, was shaken and no longer worried, repeatedly promising to do a good job.
After the group left, Lin Tan Tan looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Anything that can be solved by human labor is not a problem? You want to hire a lot of people to work and feed more people with work-for-relief? But don't we only have a hundred tons of food? Is that enough for a few days of squandering?"
Although the gate is open from today, not all people go out to find food. Some people do not have the ability to compete, and not everyone who goes out can find food.
Ye Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "It's not as exaggerated as using work for relief. It's just that there are so many manpower in the base, and it would be a waste if they were left alone. If we invest them here, we can build our future home better. Why not?"
He played a little trick, and Lin Tantan was fooled. Her eyes became bright: "Our future home?" She liked this term and immediately nodded and said, "That's really good. The place to live can't be too bad, otherwise it will affect our mood." Although they may not stay here for a long time, if Ye Xiao chooses to stay here, the historical disaster that caused the Ning City base to fall apart may be dealt with, right?
But I still feel a little worried: "But will there be enough food?"
"Xiaotian flew the drone around the area, and we found a lot more mutant plants and animals." Ye Xiao pointed to the mountains west of the base, "Especially over there, many mutant animals came out of the mountains. We suspect there should be more in the mountains."
Ning City is a mountainous city, and the base is surrounded by mountains. There is a mountain behind the base, but compared to this side, there are more mountains in the west, and they are continuous.
While these mountains block the dangers coming from the other side, they themselves also represent a danger. It is not wise to allow the mutated plants and animals in the mountains to multiply and grow.
Lin Tan Tan said, "So?"
"So starting tomorrow, we will go out of the base to hunt mutant animals," Ye Xiao said with a smile, "and find the species that are suitable for eating."
From the outset, he had no intention of searching for food. He could look for some daily necessities that were currently unavailable, but he didn't want to compete with millions of hungry people for food. Even if he found some food, it would be gone once eaten. Sustainable development was the key.
"Also, I plan to clear out a section of these 40-plus acres of land to plant crops. Yang Xinyu and Old Man Chen are already raising seedlings. Large-scale planting is impossible under the current conditions. I'll see if I can expand the siege after a while."
Old Man Chen was the old man that Lin Tantan found in the shantytown who might have awakened the wood-type supernatural power. Bai Cheng contacted his children and didn't know what they said. In short, he provided them with enough food. Lin Tantan also sorted out their energy. After a few days, the old man really awakened his supernatural power.
Purely plant-oriented wood-type abilities, like Yang Xinyu's, have attack methods like vine entanglement, but Old Man Chen has nothing. His energy can only promote plant growth.
At first he didn't know how to control his ability. He planted a broken clay pot of onions and a wooden box of green vegetables at home. He tended to them for a while when he was free. Within a few hours, the onions and green vegetables grew rapidly and became very strong, as if they had received the best nutrients.
Then Bai Cheng went to talk to them in person, and brought Mr. Chen and his two children back that night, and found a house for them to live in. Mr. Chen started to grow seedlings, and it was said that he planted vegetables in all the vacant land in his house.
The old man has been farming all his life. He is very good at this kind of work and truly enjoys it. His planting ability is much better than Yang Xinyu's.
Ye Xiao talked about some of his plans, and Lin Tan Tan realized that when he took over this piece of land, he had already thought about expanding the wall. In that case, this piece of land would indeed be suitable for them.
Lin Tantan looked at his calm face, but imagined him full of vigor and spirit, and couldn't help laughing: "Ye Xiao, you are a very good leader."
Ye Xiao looked at her gently: "Thank you for the compliment."
"I'm serious. You're better than anyone else. Under your leadership, we'll definitely be fine."
Such undisguised praise and affirmation made Ye Xiao feel a little overwhelmed. In fact, he had not done enough. If he was really capable enough, he should be able to properly accommodate everyone. However, in this place alone, many people died every day.
A person's power is very small, and he often feels powerless, but he never says these things.
But at this moment, his heart felt like it was being soaked in warm water with sugar, and it felt like it was carrying a heavy yet reassuring burden. He also became serious: "I actually had a lot of things I didn't consider or do poorly, but I will try my best."
"Hmm!" The two smiled at each other. Lin Tan was the first to look away and asked, "We can't just turn those steel bars into something humanly. What should we do?"
"Go look for it in the factory. If that doesn't work, just tear down the buildings outside." Ye Xiao said lightly. Lin Tantan thought secretly, only you can do such a thing as tearing down other people's buildings to get steel bars.
"By the way, you just said that you'd raise the ground three to five meters within two days. Do you need to dig soil from somewhere else?"
"Um."
Lin Tan Tan rubbed his fingers together and said, "It would be convenient if there was an earth-type psychic who could transform into so much earth all at once."
Ye Xiao glanced at her, his eyes seemed to be full of meaning: "No need for that, just dig some from the side."
With the infrastructure construction going on in full swing here, naturally some people are unhappy about it.
Li Qun was very unhappy. Seeing that Ye Xiao was really going to take root here, he was very uneasy. Others might just be worried that Ye Xiao would divide their cake when he got the chance, but he was more worried that he would not get a share of the cake, but that the whole cake would be snatched away.
Many people know that before the end of the world, he was only a colonel. His superiors promoted him to major general in order to let him compete with Lu Jianping. This kind of thing is very common. Lu Jianping was also promoted from colonel, but their camp was more reliable, so he only jumped one level, which was enough to take the position of the deceased former garrison commander.
Therefore, Li Qun was actually not very confident in front of Lu Jianping, and he was even less confident in front of Ye Xiao.
Because of his personal relationship with Min Yande, he had known Ye Xiao for a long time. He was always carrying out special missions for foreign countries, and was on the line between life and death every day, so he was promoted very quickly. He relied on his seniority to get to the rank of colonel, while Ye Xiao achieved that at a young age.
Now Ye Xiao is in conflict with his superiors, but if he softens his attitude and makes some achievements in the base with his abilities, the superiors won't have to think about it at all. They will just give an order to make room for Ye Xiao.
By then, everything he owns now will rightfully belong to Ye Xiao.
How could Li Qun be willing to accept this? He did have support from above to get to this point, but his own efforts also played a large role. Now, because of his status, he could be handed over to someone else at any time.
He stared at the major general's epaulettes that had been taken off his shoulders, his eyebrows throbbing. If only he gave up his military identity, his superiors would have no control over him.
This thought suddenly occurred to him, but he quickly suppressed it. Without the support of most of the military, how could he have achieved such good and rapid development on his own?
There was a knock on the door. He put his epaulettes back on and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Zhou Li walked in.
This young man, with an extraordinary appearance and powerful abilities, stood respectfully before him and said humbly, "Commander, you called me?"
Li Qun suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
He asked himself that in terms of personal ability alone, he might be far inferior to this young man, but couldn't he only lower his head to him and cautiously call him "Chief"?
And there are many people like him in my hands.
He put on a serious face and said, "Didn't I ask you to bribe people? Why is Ye Xiao's side so smooth? I heard that he can even use a group of psychics to burn a piece of garbage. How do you do things?"
Zhou Li felt a little unhappy with his tone, but he continued carefully, "We've bribed everyone we could, but there are still many who remain unmoved. There's really nothing we can do. Besides," he paused and glanced at Li Qun, "the supplies you gave me are limited."
To bribe people, one must of course rely on supplies and actual benefits. Those he chose were all from Yang City, who had good strength and were likely to belong to Ye Xiao's camp. It was not easy to persuade them. Supplies were spent like water, but Li Qun was not a generous person, so he could only try to save them as much as possible. As a result, the efficiency was slow and the force was not strong enough.
Not to mention that there are some people who will not be shaken no matter how much supplies are given.
Li Qun said coldly, "You mean, I can only watch him develop happily and smoothly in the base?"
Zhou Li didn't say anything, thinking to himself, that's not the case, unless you can kill him.
Or... through the people he cares about, disrupt his plans and slow him down.
Zhou Li left Li Qun's place and returned to his own residence. Zhou Yan hurriedly came up to him and asked, "Brother, did you tell me about that?"
Zhou Li shook his head.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Zhou Yan raised his voice, suddenly realizing he might have been too excited, and quickly said, "That Li Qun took all his anger out on us. As soon as the base was opened today, he assigned us a mission that would kill us. We can handle it today, but what about tomorrow? Doesn't that guy want to fight Ye Xiao? Let them fight it out on their own, and we can get away with it."
Zhou Li said, "It's not that simple." He sat down and thought, and he now realized that Li Qun was not a reliable person at all. He had made the wrong choice once, but now he still had a chance to make up for it.
If you choose Ye Xiao...
But he was unwilling to be inferior to Ye Xiao.
It was very strange. He knew that Li Qun was also a colonel before the end of the world, at the same level as Ye Xiao, and was inferior to the latter in every way. But compared to working for Ye Xiao, he would rather listen to the nonsense of that loser Li Qun.
Zhou Li smiled bitterly. He knew that his mentality was wrong, but... he just didn't want to accept it.
But if he had not surrendered to Ye Xiao, and had now joined the Li faction, it would not be easy to escape. Who else could make Li Qun so wary and dare not act rashly?
After finally building up some power, it will all be gone if you are not careful.
Zhou Yan looked at him in a trance and gritted his teeth. What a useless thing. He looked powerful at ordinary times, but could only be a drag at critical moments. If only he had the same special abilities as him, he would definitely be able to do better!
Zhou Li raised his head, and Zhou Yan's expression instantly subsided, returning to his anxious and worried look. Zhou Li said, "Keep a close eye on that man and don't let him talk nonsense. I'll think about this matter again."
"Yes, brother." Zhou Yan answered obediently, and his face darkened after he left. He returned to his room. As Zhou Li's younger brother, he now had his own room. At this time, there was another person in his room. Seeing Zhou Yan come back, the man who was chewing on a bag of braised chicken wings stood up quickly and said, "Brother Yan."
Zhou Yan looked at him gravely, then smiled: "Xiao Yu, tell me more about what happened that day."
Xiao Xiaobian said, "What I said is true. It was raining very hard that day. I just wanted to get into the base quickly, but my dad was driving the artillery vehicle. He insisted on listening to Bai Cheng and leaving the team to provide support. I was very angry and kept looking at the convoy, hoping that everyone in the convoy could get in as soon as possible. Then when we got to the last car, hey, it wasn't a car in our convoy at all. It was a car that followed behind and was dawdling. It was suddenly frozen. I was so angry. Then I heard Captain Ye call the Fire Element, Fire Element, probably wanting the Fire Element to burn the ice that suddenly appeared. But before the Fire Element user appeared, Miss Lin jumped off the armored vehicle."
Xiao Yu swallowed, "I saw it clearly. She pressed her hand into the muddy water, and then suddenly a thorn emerged from under the ice, poking the ice back into water."
Zhou Yan listened quietly. This was the fourth time he had heard him say this. After listening, he said, "Lin Tantan possesses both gold and wood elements. That could be the golden thorn."
"No, I've seen her golden thorns and golden blades before. They're all golden. But the thorns that emerged from the ground that day were the color of mud, exactly the same as when those earth-type psychics release earth thorns!"
Xiao Yu said confidently, "She must have earth-related abilities. She already has two, so isn't it normal for her to have a third?"
He observed Zhou Yan's expression. In fact, he had no idea that these people would take this news so seriously. He only knew that they had given out a lot of supplies and just wanted the psychics to go with them. He was very tempted and envious. He was not a psychic, and neither was his father. Because of this, after the convoy entered the base and was disbanded, he and his son did not live very well.
He had been obedient all the way, and even if he hadn't done anything valuable, he had worked hard. He was even credited with helping to repel the zombies, but in the end, that was the outcome.
How can Xiaoyu feel balanced?
He had forgotten that because his father was a very good driver who could drive a cannon cart, the father and son were treated very well during the migration. They had enough food and drink every day, all the necessary daily necessities, snacks to eat, and someone to wash their face with. Compared with others, he lived a much more comfortable life.
He only knew that he and his son had been abandoned, so he looked for opportunities to contact these people who came to bribe people, hoping that they would take him and his son to enjoy a good life. He had no special skills, so he used what he knew in exchange and said a lot in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan was particularly concerned about Lin Tan's affairs, so he told him about the earth-related supernatural powers.
Then he was brought back.
Zhou Yan smiled: "I see. You haven't told anyone else about this, right?"
"No, no." Xiao Yu really thought that Lin Tan Tan already had two superpowers, and one more was nothing. He didn't take it seriously at all. He did talk about it with his father, but his father didn't believe it at all and said he was dazzled, so he stopped talking.
"Okay, then you continue to live here, don't go out, and don't tell anyone about this." Zhou Yan left again. He couldn't be 100% sure about this matter based on this person's one-sided statement. He had no contact with Lin Tantan, including the people around her, but he might be able to find someone to confirm it.
Xiao Yu didn't know what the concept of three-system superpowers was, but he knew very well that there were very few people with dual-system superpowers in the country. The Academy of Sciences in the capital was working hard to study how to enable ordinary people to have superpowers and improve the overall survival of survivors. To this end, they did not hesitate to use extreme research methods. A lot of superpowers died, and even dual-system superpowers were also their research subjects, and several of them were killed. Because of this matter, there was a big conflict in the capital.
If those people knew that there was a three-element superpowered person in the distant Ning City...
Zhou Yan took a deep breath. If Lin Tantan was taken away, Ye Xiao would definitely follow him. He had made great contributions to Li Qun, so he would definitely be looked up to. He might even be able to get in touch with the capital.
But he was actually hesitant. On the one hand, he really wanted to find out more about Lin Tantan, but on the other hand, he subconsciously felt that this person was very dangerous and he wanted to be kept as far away from him as possible.
He found someone and said to him with a smile, "Wenzi, I remember that you and Xu Tianjin had the best relationship before, right? He even accompanied you to see a doctor."
…
After a busy day, everyone returned to the villa. During the break after dinner, Jiang Xiaotian suddenly held his computer and whispered to Bai Cheng for a while. Then he called Ye Xiao and said, "Captain, there's another email from the capital."
Ye Xiao was practicing his special ability. Lin Tan's few words during the day had a profound impact on him and also put pressure on him. He began to work harder. Upon hearing this, he said calmly, "What did he say again?"
"They're telling us to hurry back, saying we haven't reported back for our last mission yet, and that not going back would be disobeying orders," Jiang Xiaotian said. "That Li Qun must be trying to get rid of us. He's been working behind the scenes. The emails have been getting more frequent lately."
Mei Bosheng came over, holding a carrot in his mouth. "It's just a few words after all. Isn't there anything new? What's the point of reporting back? Our mission was terminated and invalidated long ago after the apocalypse. How about you hack into the archives, take a screenshot, and send it to them to help them restore their memories?"
He took a big bite of carrot and said vaguely, "The last mission is over, and the next one hasn't come yet. We are on vacation and have personal freedom. This is the usual practice. Don't you understand?"
Jiang Xiaotian said: "They will say that they have given us a new task."
"Then have them complete all the paperwork. We won't recognize it without the commander's signature."
The commander-in-chief died at the beginning of the apocalypse.
They were silent for a moment. Jiang Xiaotian looked at him with disdain: "Damn, you're already chewing on carrots. Are you a rabbit?"
"There's nothing we can do. Brother Bai won't let us eat fruit."
Bai Cheng glanced at him and said, "There's not much fruit left." For these big-bellied men, no amount of fruit would be enough to fill their stomachs, so they had to leave some for the girls.
Mei Bosheng obviously knew this, so he gnawed on the carrot without complaint. As a rough man, he was only fit to gnaw on carrots. Jiang Xiaotian sighed, "Any more? Give me one."
"Go get it from the kitchen yourself."
Ye Xiao just kept listening to their nonsense and was not affected at all.
On the coffee table in front of him, whirlwinds slowly formed and dissipated. On the coffee table was a patch of fine sand of different colors, which he sometimes mixed into various shapes, and sometimes divided into piles according to color, clearly separated.
Then the whirlwind dissipated, and the invisible hand of air manipulated the fine sand into a simple house with yellow walls, a brown door, white windows, and a red roof.
Several people couldn't help but look at his movements. This control was simply amazing.
