"Huh?" Lin Tantan looked at herself. She was dressed neatly. Living with a group of men, although she trusted their character, she was still very careful in her daily life. This was actually a kind of courtesy.
Meeting her puzzled gaze, Ye Xiao said straightly, "It's not nice to wear pajamas."
"But I usually..." She was constantly in contact with patients, often those living in less-than-perfect hygiene conditions. She had to change clothes upon returning home each day. Sometimes it was her home clothes, but more often she just slipped into pajamas. It was so comfortable. And she didn't have to change again when she slept. With only one hand, changing clothes was inconvenient, so the less she changed, the better.
But she was halfway through her words when she realized, "I see. Zhou Li is a guest, so it's really not polite for me to wear pajamas."
"It's not because of this..." Ye Xiao paused and gave up, "Yes, that's what I mean."
Lin Tan Tan obediently walked into the room and was looking for clothes when he suddenly said, "Why should I change? I'm just not going down. He didn't bring the patient here, did he? Since it's just a question, it doesn't matter if I tell you." Lin Tan Tan discussed with Ye Xiao, "Then you can tell me, or tell him to go to the clinic tomorrow to queue up."
She was simply too impatient to change her clothes, thinking about how she was now a sought-after "miracle doctor" and how others who wanted to see her had to go to the clinic and wait in line. She was now back to work at the clinic, but with only two hours in the morning, it was difficult to get a waitlist, and it was difficult for anyone to cut in line. How could Zhou Li allow her to take the initiative to get in?
Besides, it was still night time, and she could have simply ignored him if he hadn't shown proper manners when seeking medical treatment.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tan waved his hand and said, "Yes, I won't go down. I'm tired and need to go to sleep."
Ye Xiao was leaving the room and about to close the door for her. Hearing her say that, he thought it was appropriate: "Okay, then, have a good rest."
Lin Tantan hurriedly called him: "Can you help me check what's wrong with this phone?"
The game interface on the phone was stuck, with a strange map and a winding road. The last red carrot on the road had been bitten several times by several monsters, which looked very miserable.
Ye Xiao looked at her, meaning, isn't it time to go to sleep?
Lin Tan Tan chuckled.
Ye Xiao simply turned the phone off and on again, and it was working fine again: "Let Xiaotian fix it for you tomorrow, don't play too late."
"Yeah." Lin Tan Tan took the phone, "Bye." Behind the closed door was the sound of her throwing herself onto the bed. Ye Xiao thought of her furry body, which must be very soft when she sank into the bed. Her bed was also very soft. He felt it when he sat on it last time.
Lin Tantan's room was not visible on the first floor, so people only saw them go up the stairs and then disappear. It took a while for Ye Xiao to come down, but Lin Tantan was gone behind him. No one else thought anything of it, but Zhou Li looked a little strange.
"Where's Miss Lin?"
Ye Xiao said: "She is tired after a day and needs to rest now. Mr. Zhou, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Zhou Li hurriedly said, "I'm sorry for being so rude by visiting you." But in his heart he thought that Ye Xiao's control over Lin Tantan was even stronger than he imagined.
Zhou Li then talked about his brother's situation, and then apologized for almost robbing the supply truck last time, saying that these were orders given by Li Qun and he had to obey.
Ye Xiao didn't care about it. He just said that different positions were understandable, and his tone remained indifferent. Seeing this, Zhou Li quickly said goodbye.
Ye Xiao didn't stand up to see him off, his attitude much colder than at the beginning. Zhou Li knew that he was very unhappy with Lin Tan Tan because of his sudden call to him. He looked back at the villa in the night, smiled bitterly, and thought that he and Ye Xiao really didn't get along. He had completely given up the idea of joining Ye Xiao, but if he could win Lin Tan Tan over, with this living signboard in his hands, he would be much more confident in establishing his own business.
But it is really not easy for Zhou Li to contact Lin Tan in private. She now only goes between the clinic, the shantytown and the villa. At most, she will go to the construction site in the east. There are people around her and she is never alone.
He wanted to get in touch with that brother when he was seeing a doctor, but because the latter's condition was not serious, he didn't even get an appointment to see Lin Tan.
Xu Tianjin's helplessness was repeated in Zhou Li's case.
But it seemed as if God was helping him, as a major mistake occurred in the shantytown where Lin Tantan lived that day.
Lin Tantan was working when he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance and started a commotion.
Lin Tantan stood up and asked what happened. The bodyguards hurried to see, and then a fight broke out, accompanied by people's sharp and terrified shouts of "He has turned into a zombie" and "Zombies!" Lin Tantan cried out inwardly that something was wrong and hurried over.
Since sick people have a higher chance of awakening than ordinary people, they naturally have a certain chance of becoming zombies. Such things have happened more than once in the base, but they were all dealt with quickly and did not cause serious consequences. This is the first time it happened under Lin Tantan's nose.
Before she arrived, a purple bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the source of the disturbance with a loud bang. Lin Tantan squeezed in to take a look and saw a pale and rotting corpse lying on the ground. Its head was charred and cracked from being split open, and it looked deader than dead. It was obvious that it had been in corpse form not long ago, and it must be the source of the incident.
There were several people nearby, clutching their necks with their hands, paralyzed in shock, unable to recover. When they regained consciousness, their first reaction was to dive into the crowd and escape. Lin Tan quickly sent out several straps to tie them up, and ordered the bodyguards to arrest them: "Be careful not to get bitten."
She reminded that it was obvious that these people were bitten and infected, and there was basically no hope of survival.
Several people cried, struggled and begged. The people around them couldn't bear it, but no one was willing to let them go. The infected people had to be destroyed, otherwise everyone would die.
While the people were being tied up, a group of people came in from outside the crowd. They had red armbands on their arms and were obviously the people who patrolled and managed the shantytown. What surprised Lin Tan was that he saw Zhou Li among them.
"Tsk, another one turned into a zombie! I told you this bunch of trash should be thrown out of the base." The man who should be the team leader scoffed and had his men take the tied-up man away. He turned to Lin Tan Tan and said, "Hey, great doctor, stop wasting your time here. Even if you cured 110,000 people, if just one of those patients turns into a zombie, you'll be wiped out. You caught it early this time, but what about next time?"
The man was chewing something in his mouth while he was talking, and he looked like a scoundrel.
Lin Tan Tan said calmly, "So we have to drive all the patients out of the base?"
The other party choked.
Lin Tan Tan continued, "If you have the guts, go convince the base leadership. Otherwise, just stay put and do your job. The flu is under control, and the patients are gradually getting better. They'll all be fully recovered soon. As for the risk of turning into zombies, isn't that why you guys exist?"
In the past, the supervision of shantytowns was not so strict. It was only after the zombies appeared that these patrol and management personnel suddenly increased. These people were not soldiers, but people sent by each force after a meeting attended by all forces. They took turns to ensure that if an accident occurred in the shantytown they were responsible for that day, they would rush to the scene immediately.
It sounds like a leisurely job, but if someone turns into a zombie, it will be very dangerous. Moreover, it is voluntary work and the base will not pay you any extra salary.
Moreover, they always hang out in shanty towns where patients gather and the environment is poor. Not only is it uncomfortable, but there is also the risk of contracting infection, so these people naturally complain.
The other party sneered: "Okay, we are just doing the hard labor," "All of you stand still and check if anyone is bitten or scratched." While making arrangements, he muttered dissatisfiedly, "Some people, in order to satisfy their own saintly hearts, drag everyone down with them." He
The people around him pulled him: "Talk less, do you think you're going to die?" Everyone knows that this Dr. Lin Tantan is someone who cannot be offended. Not to mention her own abilities, there is a great god behind her. Before, someone called himself "Laozi" in front of her, and he and his men were knocked down on the spot. I heard that guy still has a dull pain in his shoulder.
The team leader snorted coldly, stopped talking, and began to check everyone roughly.
Lin Tantan didn't take this person seriously. There were many people in the base who advocated exiling or even killing influenza patients. Her actions greatly offended these people, and this team leader was obviously one of them.
Just as she was leaving, Zhou Li suddenly came up from behind the team and said, "Ms. Lin."
Lin Tantan didn't ignore him this time. She asked, "You were the one who set off that lightning bolt just now, weren't you?"
"It was me. The situation was urgent. Fortunately, no innocent people were hurt." Zhou Li said with a smile, a bit elegant.
Lin Tan Tan thought to himself, Zhou Li was really capable, as he was able to accurately hit the head of the corpse in the fighting crowd from such a distance without causing any accidental injuries.
She made a few polite remarks, saying that it was a good thing he acted quickly, otherwise more people would have been bitten, and then politely asked him why he was here.
Although Zhou Li worked under Li Qun, with his level, he should not be doing such a hopeless, dirty and tiring job as patrolling the shantytowns.
Zhou Li said, "I have a relationship with one of them, so I came to see her. I didn't expect Miss Lin to be here."
Lin Tan Tan looked at him, actually suspecting that this man had come here on purpose. As if to confirm her suspicion, Zhou Li then said, "Miss Lin, can you please continue the conversation?"
"No, I'm busy, and besides, we don't have anything to talk about, right?"
"Ms. Lin, you just listen to Ye Xiao. He controls you and doesn't let you see me. Are you really avoiding me?" Zhou Li stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.
Lin Tan Tan raised her eyebrows slightly: "When did he control me?" It was obvious that she didn't want to bother with this guy. Who likes to see a guy who is always thinking about getting you to change jobs?
It's really annoying, okay? He doesn't even look at what he has. He has the nerve to set his sights on her, and he feels good about himself even without giving him a cold shoulder. Before, he was just trying to build relationships, but now he's actually started to slander Ye Xiao.
"Ms. Lin may not have noticed it yet, but the bystanders can see it clearly." Zhou Li smiled and made a "please" gesture.
Even if Zhou Li turned around and wanted to leave, Lin Tantan would not let him go easily. She wanted to see what he could say, so she asked the bodyguards not to follow him and walked aside with Zhou Li: "Tell me, how come I couldn't see clearly in this situation?"
Zhou Li knew he had succeeded in the first step. He smiled slightly, and with a hint of regret, he spoke up for Lin Tan and sighed, "Miss Lin, don't you think Ye Xiao's control over you is too much?"
"You have absolutely no personal connections. The people around you were all arranged by him, right? With your abilities, you should have a better future, but you toil like this every day. Do you know what people say? Those patients who received treatment don't remember you very much, but only praise how kind and righteous Ye Xiaobaicheng was."
Lin Tantan would mentally retort to every word he said. "No personal connections?" Why would anyone need personal connections? This was a post-apocalyptic base. Did they think it was a carefree school, a good place to make friends? The people around her? Those weren't arranged by Ye Xiao. Bai Cheng had arranged them for her. But she paid for them herself. She'd clearly hired them herself.
As for others not remembering her kindness, that was nonsense. She clearly received many thanks every day. And everyone deserved to thank Ye Xiao. If she hadn't persuaded Lu Jianping to get the medical department to strongly support the free clinic, the flu would have spread far and wide by now if she had relied on her own efforts.
So if you really count it, Ye Xiao's contribution is greater than hers.
She neither agreed nor disagreed, and her face showed no sign of frustration. She asked, "What else?"
Under Lin Tantan's gaze of "I wonder what else you can say", Zhou Li had the illusion that he was a villain who spoke ill of others behind their backs, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he could only continue speaking as prepared.
"And yesterday, you had already gone downstairs, but Ye Xiao forcibly took you back upstairs in front of so many people. Excuse me for being frank, he really didn't respect you at all. Would he do that to his other companions? If you were a man, would he do that to you?"
That's because I don't want to waste my precious gaming time on you, idiot!
Lin Tan said, "Oh?" "So my biggest problem is not being a man?"
"This isn't your problem," Zhou Li said sternly. "To be honest, I'm a man, and I understand how men think. They might admire or consider men of equal ability, but they always treat them as equals. But they generally look down on women. Once they discover a woman with extraordinary abilities, they become preoccupied with curiosity, their first thought being to possess her, to make her their own possession, rather than a partner in battle. That's their inherent inferiority."
Zhou Li sighed, "He hides you so well that even when I occasionally come to visit, he asks you to avoid him. He simply treats you as his property and is afraid of others coveting you. His possessiveness is obvious, and his mind is extremely narrow. Is such a person really worth following? Miss Lin, you have a lot of ability, and you really don't deserve to be wronged like this."
Although Zhou Li's words were a bit subjective, they actually cleverly grasped the psychology of the current female group.
Times have changed. Strength reigns supreme, and gender has no place in determining anything. The more powerful a woman is, the more she resents being subordinate to a man. Yet, there are so many men who, feeling somewhat capable and powerful, still maintain a conquest mentality towards the outstanding women around them, sometimes even unable to tolerate a woman being stronger than themselves. How ridiculous! As far as Zhou Li knew, many men had fallen out over this very conflict.
He felt that this was also Lin Tantan's death pattern.
He had indeed guessed it almost right. The era in which Lin Tantan lived still continued the tradition of respecting strength in the apocalypse. Apart from suffering a lot because of her too many superpowers, she had never suffered any loss because of her gender. The achievements she had made were beyond the reach of most men, and she was also accustomed to seeing the bigwigs being polite and respectful to her.
She does not deny that women today may generally be inferior to men and need more help, but if anyone looks down on her because she is a woman, she will let that person know how to write something they will regret.
Just like now.
Lin Tantan looked up at Zhou Li and said sincerely, "Zhou Li, you must have full marks for understanding." If she could applaud, she really wanted to applaud him to show her approval.
After praising him, she said, "Since you yourself say that men have bad qualities, does that mean you are immune to them just because you are not a man?"
Zhou Li said: "Of course I am different."
"No, you do. You also look down on women." Lin Tantan smiled at him, and suddenly a fist full of golden light smashed into Zhou Li's abdomen. Zhou Li was caught off guard and bent his body. He took two steps back and looked up in disbelief: "You——"
Lin Tan Tan said coldly: "You are looking down on me." At the same time, he punched him on the head again.
The author has something to say: Tan Tan: You keep nagging, and I am the most annoying person. Today I will let you know that I don’t call you Sister Lin for nothing!
