Ye Xiao was confused for a while and felt that it must be his illusion. Even if she was being coaxed as a child, it was just a sign that she cared about him.
After figuring this out, I realized that the two of them seemed too close. Did they sleep in each other's arms like this all night?
The progress was a bit fast, and Ye Xiao was a little confused. The most important thing was that he felt that this was a very serious and meaningful progress, but now it was completed in a confused manner, which made him feel a little guilty and a little regretful.
They hadn't announced their relationship to anyone yet, hadn't decorated a nice room, hadn't chosen a special day, hadn't gone through a ritualistic date, commitment, or proposal, and hadn't gotten married yet...
Stop! Ye Xiao stopped his thoughts and pressed his head. He felt that he had been affected by the six hours last night and had not yet fully recovered. His mind was dizzy.
Lin Tantan was awakened by a slight noise. She saw him holding his head. She was startled and immediately worried: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Ye Xiao put down his hand, looked at her, and unnoticeably stepped back and sat up: "No, thank you for your hard work last night."
Lin Tantan also sat up, then found her left arm completely numb. Ye Xiao hurriedly massaged her arm, "You don't have to be so accommodating. Next time I rest my head on your arm, you'll push me away." He paused and changed his tone, "Next time, just leave me alone and go back to sleep."
He was too tired last night and couldn't hold on, otherwise he should have let her go back and rest first.
Lin Tantan was thinking about something else: "You're working too hard. I don't know how many days this will last. Why don't you get rid of this poison?"
She told him the principle behind her treatment of Mei Bosheng, and said that they could try to use the same method to drain the strange energy from his body.
Ye Xiao fell silent, holding her arm in his hand without saying anything for a while.
Lin Tantan was wearing a thin sweater with long sleeves, but if you looked through the edge of the sleeve, you could see the stump on his left arm. Ye Xiao respectfully avoided looking at it and even avoided pinching it. Now, he gently grasped it through the sweater: "So you channeled the zombie energy into your body?"
Although he had guessed a little, he still felt a pang of pain when he thought about it. He frowned and said, "So this time, you plan to direct this energy towards yourself?"
"Well……"
"And then cut a piece off for yourself?"
"This..." Why does this sound so strange? Lin Tantan scratched his face, "Look, my hand is slowly growing back, it's almost grown to my wrist."
Ye Xiao estimated the length through the sweater and found it was indeed so. He asked carefully, "Can I take a look?"
Lin Tantan's answer was to roll up her sleeves and say, "Look, look." Her attitude was very generous. Although she also thought the stump was a bit ugly, Ye Xiao had seen it before.
Ye Xiao: "..." Ye Xiao felt very strange. Sometimes she would be shy and uncomfortable when she was with him, but most of the time she was very carefree, as if she was treating him like a brother.
Every time he felt pity, he felt helpless and instead found it both funny and sad.
He looked at her arms openly. These arms had been hidden in her clothes and had never seen any sunlight, so they were exceptionally white, tender, and healthy. They felt a little fleshy to the touch, and felt particularly good.
Ye Xiao coughed and looked at the damaged part. It wasn't ugly, but it was a bit weird. It had grown at least three centimeters longer than when it was first injured, and it was almost reaching the wrist. It could be predicted that it would not be too far away for the entire palm to grow out.
If such a strange thing happened to someone else, Ye Xiao might find it strange, but when it happened to Lin Tantan, it seemed natural, because she herself was a very strange existence.
He was happy for her, but he still warned her: "It's a good thing that it can grow back, but don't think that it will grow back and it's okay to cut it off again. Do you think you are a melon?"
Lin Tan Tan: "..." She widened her eyes, unable to believe that she was being teased.
Ye Xiao ruffled her hair amusingly, making it even more messy from sleeping. "Anyway, don't even think about channeling my energy, and don't use the same method to treat anyone else. I absolutely don't agree."
Lin Tantan frowned: "But..."
"Don't worry for now, this poison should be good for me." Ye Xiao said again.
Lin Tan was surprised: "What do you mean?"
A thoughtful look appeared on his face. "I feel like it's transforming my body. I can't quite explain why, but it should be beneficial and not harmful."
Lin Tantan wanted to ask in detail when there was a knock on the door. Lin Tantan was still lost in his speculation about the strange energy. Since Ye Xiao said it was beneficial and harmless, it should really be beneficial and harmless.
I've only heard of someone changing their physique and gaining some kind of opportunity by eating some mutated or supernatural materials. It turns out that the supernatural power of a sinister and skinny man can also have such an effect. If the effect is true, then that man should have become an inexhaustible source of energy for body transformation!
This person could have become a treasure that could have been the center of the base, and they killed him? No, it should be said that he killed himself.
What a waste!
Thinking about this mess, she subconsciously went to open the door, completely forgetting whose room it was.
Then when he opened the door, there was no one outside. He looked out and saw that it was Jiang Xiaotian knocking on the door next door.
Jiang Xiaotian, holding his stomach with a pale face, widened his eyes. He looked at Lin Tantan, whose hair was messy and clothes were wrinkled, and who had obviously just climbed out of bed. He then looked at the two rooms: "I, am I hallucinating? Tantan, are you in this room? Oh, never mind, Tantan, I ate that pork rib soup downstairs, and now it feels like there's a stone in my stomach. Ouch, am I going to die!"
He held his stomach, his face uglier than a ghost. He rushed over and climbed onto Lin Tantan's shoulders, hanging on her uncontrollably.
He really couldn't hold on any longer. Walking up the stairs took all his strength.
Before he could even hang himself on Lin Tantan, a powerful hand reached out from behind him and scooped him up. Ye Xiao's serious face frowned and said, "How much have you eaten to make yourself like this?"
Jiang Xiaotian was stunned. He looked at Lin Tantan and then at Ye Xiao, whose clothes were even more wrinkled: "You, you..." Before he could say anything, his eyes rolled back and he fell down.
As if he was frightened and fainted.
Lin Tan Tan: "..." Is it necessary to do this? They just came out of the same room, could the impact be so great?
After being disturbed by this, she began to feel embarrassed. She didn't even look at Ye Xiao's expression. She looked at Jiang Xiaotian's condition and said, "It's not a big deal. He just ate too much supernatural food and couldn't digest the energy in it. His stomach is bloated. Help him vomit it out first. Ahem, I'm going to go change my clothes first."
After saying that, he slipped away.
Ye Xiao looked at his clothes which looked like pickled mustard greens due to being soaked in water, and then looked at Jiang Xiaotian who was like a dead pig. He could only resign himself to his fate and drag him up. He also woke him up without any gentleness and let him induce vomiting by himself.
Lin Tantan changed his clothes and washed up when he came out. Jiang Xiaotian had already vomited and was sitting on the sofa. His eyes were red and his skin was pale, like a rabbit. He looked like he was wandering around and looked very pitiful.
Lin Tan Tan treated him: "How much have you eaten? Your stomach is almost broken."
"It smells good!" Jiang Xiaotian rubbed his eyes. He had just finished his work and came back. Seeing a big pot of meat soup, he ate a big bowl of it and went to sleep happily. Then he was woken up by stomachache.
"If you eat something with special powers, it's okay if you eat a little, but if you eat too much, you will have problems. There are patients like this in the clinic. Some have died because they ate too much without knowing it." Lin Tantan said to him.
Jiang Xiaotian shrank his neck and said, "It's so miserable without superpowers. You can even die from eating. Sigh." Then he started gossiping and flirting, "You and the captain, hey, when can we have a wedding banquet?"
Lin Tan Tan was stunned. Ye Xiao heard this and put a hand on Jiang Xiaotian's shoulder to lift him up. "Does your stomach feel better? If so, go get some sleep." He was really losing his temper. "Tan Tan is helping me with my treatment. Don't let your thoughts get in the way."
He glanced at Lin Tan and said, "But the wedding banquet will happen sooner or later."
This was a declaration of their relationship. Lin Tan was hesitant to speak, but in the end, he said nothing. Jiang Xiaotian looked as if he had received an order and left happily. He planned to take a stroll before going back to sleep. When he reached the back of the villa, he heard a splash, followed by a scream: "Ah, when did there become a puddle here!"
A puddle? What puddle? Lin Tantan suddenly remembered: Could it be the water he'd pumped down from the second floor yesterday? He'd been changing a tank of water every few minutes for four or five hours. That was a lot.
She ran to the backyard and saw a huge pit that had appeared out of nowhere. It was filled with water and San Gen and the mutant rats were swimming happily in it. It was obvious that they had dug the pit. It was very likely that they had been digging the pit right below her while she was pouring water down yesterday.
And now there was another Jiang Xiaotian splashing around in the puddle, and the little ones all stared with wide eyes at his performance.
…
After breakfast, Lin Tantan and Ye Xiao went out together. They were going to have a meeting today, so Ye Xiao asked Lin Tantan to go along.
Arriving at the construction site, the perimeter wall was already complete. The lower half was a solid wall, while the upper half featured some oddly shaped hollows, topped with sharp stone spikes and an electric fence. Directly ahead were two large iron gates, and next to them was a security room, manned 24 hours a day.
Lin Tantan opened his mouth wide. "When I was here before, I only finished half of it. You've finished it all today?"
The car stopped at the gate. Someone from the security office came out to check and only let him in after confirming it was Ye Xiao. Although the road was muddy, it was firm and flat, allowing the car to drive smoothly. The car stopped in front of the completed building facing the gate. It wasn't really a building, but a central function building, and in terms of status, it was the core of the place.
Lin Tan Tan got out of the car and looked up at the building. It had three floors. Although it was only covered with cement and not painted or tiled, compared with most of the buildings in the base that were crooked or even looked like dilapidated slums, this one was still very impressive.
The first floor is tall and large, with a large conference hall that can accommodate more than a hundred people, a small meeting room, and a reception room.
The second and third floors are all office areas, divided into many offices with different functional attributes, some in charge of population information, some in charge of weapons, some in charge of material resource allocation, some in charge of warehouses, some in charge of medical care, some in charge of supernatural power consultation, some in charge of professional positions, some in charge of market transactions... It looks very much like the real thing.
In particular, these offices are not only covered with cement, but also with putty. The doors and windows are also genuine wooden doors and aluminum windows. The whole place is square and bright.
Lin Tantan walked around all these areas and was amazed: "This is so well done." She had been to Lu Jianping's office building, and it wasn't as good as this one.
Ye Xiao smiled behind her and said, "This building is our facade, so naturally we have to put in some effort. However, we were in such a short time and the materials were limited, so it's just barely passable. I'll try to make it better in the future if I have the chance."
Lin Tan said, "The situation is special now, so this is already very good."
Coming down from upstairs, Ye Xiao pointed to the two-story building under construction on the left side of the building: "That's the clinic for you."
Lin Tantan was a little surprised: "This scale is a bit big, right?"
"Build it first. If you want to expand it, go ahead. If you want to keep it small, the extra space can always be used for other things. The small building behind the clinic is for weapons research and development." Ye Xiao pointed to the right side of the functional building and said, "That's where the cafeteria, trading area, and water plant are."
Lin Tantan looked at the house being built over there. There was nothing there before, but now a floor is already being built.
The large area of land behind the functional building is also full of houses under construction. Most of them are residential areas. There are also several large warehouses, which are warehouses for storing food, weapons and other supplies. They are already well maintained and are guarded by people.
Further back, near the mountainside, is a medium-sized planting area.
Even though he had a general understanding of the layout here before, when he looked at it now, Lin Tantan still felt a little different in his heart. It was the feeling of watching his own home being built bit by bit.
Ye Xiao looked at her and suddenly said, "Let's talk. What do you think we should call it?"
"Huh?"
"Others have names like the Youth League and the Red Eagle Gang. We should have a name too."
Lin Tantan's mind suddenly skipped a beat: "Qinglong Gang."
Ye Xiao: “…”
"Hahaha, just kidding. What name do you think is good?"
Ye Xiao didn't want to come up with a name that sounded too gangster-like, nor did he want to come up with a name that had a tribal connotation, such as Flying Eagle and Fiery Flame. He just followed the crowd and thought about hope and unity. He originally wanted to use the word Chaoyang, but he felt that it was too weak, so he took the word Yang, which means sunshine and hope.
"The word yang is good, it is especially righteous and warm," said Lin Tantan.
Ye Xiao's mind moved: "Then let's call him Zhengyang."
Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment. This name, which appeared several years after the apocalypse, actually appeared now. Then she laughed, "That's good. Always keep a righteous heart, be an upright person, always have hope, and work hard for it. This has a very good meaning."
Ye Xiao also smiled. They indeed had the same idea.
After a while, more and more people came, so Ye Xiao took Lin Tantan to the large conference hall.
There was a long table on the stage and several seats below. Lin Tantan was taken directly to sit at one of the tables, and then watched people come in one by one. Some were familiar, such as Jiang Zhongyi, Mingze, Yang Xinyu, Zhao Yidan, Fan Fang... and most of them were strangers.
Those who were notified to come here today were all core members. After everyone was seated, Ye Xiao began to speak. He first explained the current situation of the entire world and the country: how many people had died around the world, how many people had died across the country, how many provincial and municipal governments no longer existed, and the capital, the heart of the country, was also in chaos. Now, bases spread across the country have formed new power units, and only about half of them are under official control.
Lin Tan Tan looked at him, not knowing where he got so much detailed information. In short, the point was that the conditions were harsh now. Zombies, mutated plants and animals, and even humans themselves could pose a huge threat to survival. If we want to survive well, we must unite.
It was a lot of blah blah, but not a single word of nonsense. It was the first time that Lin Tantan knew that Ye Xiao was so eloquent. It was like a mobilization meeting. She was so excited listening to him, and the people in the audience were even more excited. They were just about to stand up and shout slogans saying that they were willing to sacrifice their lives to build their own home.
She couldn't help but recall the first time she saw Ye Xiao give a speech when she was very young. She watched the only surviving video footage of him, which was only a little over a minute long, and the video was a little blurry. Those powerful words made her admire this man and regard him as her guide and beacon in the most difficult and painful period of her life when she was almost about to give up.
And now, she was sitting in a similar scene in person. She was a little dazed, a little sighing, but more of a sense of pride that came from the heart.
Ye Xiao made a summary at the end, saying that from today on, their Zhengyang Brigade was officially established, and everyone present was the veteran of Zhengyang, and they should unite and so on.
Everyone was very excited and applauded.
Then comes the allocation of functions.
Four leaders were announced before the functions were assigned.
Ye Xiao is naturally the captain, Bai Cheng is the vice-captain, Xu Qin is also the vice-captain, Lin Tan Tan...
Hey, when Lin Tantan heard her name, she looked at Ye Xiao in surprise. She was also the deputy captain?
However, it is obvious that she and Xu Qin's deputy captain position is mainly honorary. Her main functions are that she is responsible for the entire medical aspect and supernatural power consultation, and Xu Qin is responsible for weapons research and development, both of which are very important parts.
The real leaders are still Ye Xiao and Bai Cheng. Ye Xiao is responsible for the overall decision-making, while Bai Cheng is in charge of all aspects, basically everything. He is a real manager, which is consistent with her memory.
Then it was further divided into combat team, medical team, planting team, logistics team, construction team, information technology team, weapons research and development team, law enforcement team, administrative management team, etc. These lists were reported by Bai Cheng. Some of the lists were too long, so he skipped them and would post them for public notice later.
Lin Tantan took the list and looked at it. It was amazing. Ye Xiao had said before that there were more than 2,000 core members, and they were all divided into various groups. No one was idle, including their families. Many of them were also divided into logistics teams of different categories.
She found her own medical team and saw that they were naturally led by her, with Mingze as their deputy. The list of people behind them consisted of only a dozen or so, all familiar wood-type psychics, the kind she had given meetings and lessons with before. She sighed, her medical team was truly thin on the ground and lacking in talent.
Members of these functional groups have mandatory tasks that must be completed, which are the obligations and responsibilities of the Zhengyang Brigade members.
For example, the combat team is divided into multiple groups. Which group will leave the base today, and which group will patrol the night tomorrow? There's a roster, and everyone must obey orders while on duty. During their rest time, they can do whatever they want. For example, the medical team has a roster, and each person is assigned a specific number of hours to see patients. After their shift, they can take on personal work or go home to sleep. Another example is a woman with water-related abilities assigned to the administrative team. She works in an office, but during her off-duty hours, she sells water at the water plant to supplement her family income. This is also completely permitted and encouraged.
Of course, due to different positions, the rewards you can receive are naturally different. For example, the weapons research and development team can be allocated better housing, while the logistics team will definitely have less. For example, the combat team's families can enjoy preferential treatment, while other teams may have to rely on themselves to support their families.
Therefore, we still encourage everyone to work harder, realize their potential, and then transfer to a better team.
Lin Tan Tan nodded inwardly as he read the paperwork and listened to Bai Cheng explain the various rules. This system of semi-mandatory management and semi-freedom was excellent. It prevented the group from becoming too lazy, nor did it create complaints due to overly strict management. Most importantly, no matter what they did, as long as it was beneficial to the team, they could profit from it through various channels.
"Finally, there's one very important point. Everyone might be wondering, what does the law enforcement team do?" After Bai Cheng finished speaking, Ye Xiao spoke again, "Qin Han, leader of the law enforcement team, please tell us about your main responsibilities."
Qin Han stood up. Lin Tantan felt that he looked familiar. He was the man who was rescued from the Public Security Bureau by Ye Xiao in Yang City. It was said that he was a veteran. This man looked upright and spoke about his scope of authority in a serious face.
That is to say, they will take care of all kinds of people such as stealing, robbery, fighting, disobedience, and doing things that damage the collective interests. After catching them, as long as there is solid evidence, they will deal with them according to the brigade regulations. Those who should be fined will be fined, those who should be expelled will be expelled, and there are even special prisons waiting for those people to stay, and they will also have to undergo labor reform. If they commit extremely serious crimes such as murder, they will be shot directly.
After he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent. Many people looked at each other and whispered to each other, probably because they had not expected such a thing to happen.
If we were to ask which sector suffered the most severe damage in the apocalypse, the judiciary would undoubtedly be a factor. Take the Ning City base, for example. Even though it was considered decent in the eyes of Ding Jinbo and others, the entire base still had very poor discipline and regulations, with many cases of murder, looting, and other crimes committed undercover.
The base simply didn't have the resources to manage these things. What could they do to those who broke the law? They had to manage their rations even if they were locked up, so how could they afford to waste so much food? So, if they caught minor offenses, they'd be fined and have their food confiscated. If they committed serious offenses, they'd simply be executed, as a warning to others.
Ye Xiao is not the base manager, so he has no worries in this regard for the time being, but there is no order without rules. It is still necessary to implement some disciplinary measures within the group under his control.
Ye Xiao said, "During this special period, the rules and regulations mentioned here cannot be copied from before the apocalypse. The professional judicial personnel in the law enforcement team can add or subtract regulations at any time based on actual conditions. Of course, there will be a public notice period. Those who feel that something is inappropriate can raise objections during the public notice period. After the public notice period, it will be officially included in the brigade regulations and everyone must abide by it. Anyone who cannot accept this can leave the Zhengyang Brigade at any time."
No one spoke, and because of this, the overall atmosphere became more solemn and dignified. Ye Xiao was satisfied, and the meeting was almost coming to an end. Finally, Ye Xiao said that the residential building had not been built yet, and everyone should continue to live in their original places. When they can move in, everyone will move together.
Then Bai Cheng called out to the leaders of each group to come up and get the list, and go find the team members themselves, and give speeches instead of mobilization speeches.
Lin Tantan's team has only a dozen or so members, most of whom work in the clinic next to the villa area. Of course, there is no need to mobilize them in a hurry. She is thinking about how to arrange these dozen people after the clinic in Zhengyang is completed and opened.
Whether the internal clinic is busy or not depends on how many injuries and illnesses the team members have. Internal diagnosis and treatment do not get much remuneration. After all, it is an internal friendly price. They just collect some crystal cores as a token of their appreciation, which is enough to cover the energy consumed. Therefore, the external clinic must continue to operate. How can they not make extra money?
The allowances and benefits that the medical team can get from the brigade as usual can only allow the team members to live an ordinary life. If they want to improve their quality of life or even the status of the team, she, the team leader, has to find other ways. This is the case for every team.
Furthermore, there were too few people. Even Xu Qin's weapons research and development team had more people than hers. This was too shabby. After the meeting, Ye Xiao was busy, so Lin Tan Tan called Mingze outside to discuss how to recruit more capable and trustworthy talents.
Mingze was also at a loss: "How about looking for one among those wood-type psychics we have hired in our clinic?"
Lin Tan thought about it and it seemed that this was the only way. At least those were the ones he had more contact with, so he knew them a little bit and it would be easier to observe them.
"The brigade also needs to recruit more people, so let's put up a recruitment notice for our medical team." Lin Tan Tan said with a sigh, "I originally thought Shao Ping was good, but I didn't expect... talent is so rare."
Mingze froze for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Ms. Lin..."
"Call me team leader, not Miss Lin." Lin Tan corrected him.
Mingze readily agreed: "Team Leader, there is something I want to tell you."
Seeing him so serious, Lin Tantan also became serious.
Mingze's story is very simple. He grew up in a single-parent family and depended on his father for everything. However, his father was killed in a car accident. The driver was driving under the influence of alcohol, but the matter was suppressed because his family was rich and powerful.
Mingze always remembered this grudge. When he grew up and became a doctor, he met the culprit again. Hatred overwhelmed him. He knew that the culprit had heart failure and long-term constipation, but he still changed his constipation medicine. Not long after, the culprit defecated too hard due to constipation and died of acute myocardial infarction.
Lin Tan Tan: "..."
Lin Tantan had a strange expression on her face: "Constipation is indeed very painful." She once had a very rich patient who had been suffering from constipation. He tried various medicines, which were effective at first but became less and less effective over time. Finally, he came to her. After she took care of him, it was said that he defecated several kilograms of poop for several days in a row. After that, he lost twenty or thirty kilograms, his complexion improved, his stomach was no longer bloated, and his appetite improved. When he came for a follow-up visit, he cried bitterly and expressed his gratitude to her, which shows how much pain he was in.
Mingze: “…” Is this the point?
Lin Tantan looked at Mingze with a complicated expression and sighed, "It's hard for me to comment on this matter. Since the laws before the apocalypse failed to punish you, I won't kill you now because of this. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future. If you continue to harm others like this under my control, I can only ask you to leave."
Mingze felt a little ashamed: "No, that person owed my father a life, but escaped the punishment of the law, so I... I have no grudge against the other people. I will never do such a thing again."
Lin Tan Tan raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "I don't care about what happened in the past, but the world is different now, and there are more scumbags. If you really meet a bad guy, you can't just swallow your anger. You must kill him if you need to, but don't use your supernatural powers that are meant to save people to kill people. It would be bad if you become addicted or leave a shadow behind."
Mingze was confused: "What should I do then?"
"Tell me, I'll use another superpower to kill him." Lin Tan Tan smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Mingze once again realized that his team leader was a fierce guy.
After speaking out the secret buried deep in his heart, he felt much better and no longer had to worry about anyone using this to threaten him in the future. He knew that he was guilty, but he was also selfish and didn't want this incident to affect his current life. He would save many people to make up for the sin of killing people with his profession. If he couldn't make up for it, then they would wait until he died to settle the score.
He smiled gratefully at Lin Tan. Ye Xiao walked out of the conference room and saw them standing together, looking at each other and smiling. He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked over: "Tan Tan, Mingze."
Lin Tan Tan told Ye Xiao that she wanted to recruit more people. Ye Xiao agreed, saying that the medical team was indeed too small.
Mingze said he was going back to the clinic to do some work. Looking at his back, Ye Xiao looked at Lin Tan again and couldn't help asking, "Do you really prefer his type?"
Lin Tan Tan almost choked on his own saliva and looked at him with wide eyes: "Why are you still entangled in this?"
Ye Xiao looked like he was right: "Because I am really worried. You have accepted it before."
Lin Tan thought to herself that it was a lie, but she didn't want this misunderstanding to become a knot in Ye Xiao's heart, so she said clearly: "I don't like his type. He looks too weak. I don't like him either. He only has one wood-type ability. Besides saving people, he can't withstand danger. I don't like him."
The more she spoke, the more the corners of Ye Xiao's mouth curled up. She found it funny and was happy to make him happy: "I appreciate you more like this."
Ye Xiao looked at her: "You said you wanted him to be your boyfriend."
Lin Tan Tan: "..." How could this person be so petty? She said, "I just said it casually on the spur of the moment. I wanted to use it as an excuse to refuse you, but I immediately regretted it and never mentioned it again."
Ye Xiao was finally satisfied. Lin Tan Tan quickly changed the subject and asked him if it was not a good idea to let her be the deputy captain. For example, Zhong Xiong failed to be the deputy captain, and he was also a veteran in their team.
Ye Xiao told her not to worry about it. Zhong Xiong didn't like to worry about such things. Besides, his lack of supernatural powers was indeed a major drawback. He himself felt that he couldn't control others, and taking on the vice-captain position would only cause trouble. As for Mei Bosheng and the others, they were relatively young in their seven-member team and had no intention of even considering the vice-captain position.
"As for you, you are worthy of being the vice-captain. Besides, they all know that you are a five-element psychic, so they won't have any ideas."
"I know everything, ahem. But even if I have many special abilities, I don't have to be the vice-captain."
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Think of it this way. You can't hide the fact that you are a five-element psychic. If people see your abilities, you won't even be able to become a deputy captain in the Zhengyang Brigade. You can only be the leader of the medical team. It's not a good look."
Oh, that's right. Lin Tan thought about it and decided that she deserved to be the mascot.
In this way, the "Zhengyang Brigade" was officially established on this day. Soon the entire base knew about it, and also knew that they were still expanding their enrollment. Although the conditions for joining the team were relatively harsh and had to go through many reviews, it was heard that the various benefits and welfare benefits were excellent, the development prospects were good, and the internal functions were so detailed. It was well-organized and prosperous on the first day of its establishment, so many people wanted to join.
A lot of people came to submit applications to join the team. Fortunately, the Population Information Office of the brigade management group set up an office specifically for recruitment. A large number of people were responsible for various reviews and visits, trying not to miss out on good talents and also trying not to let people with ulterior motives get in.
On the day when the Zhengyang Brigade was established, a newly formed construction team was pulled out and started looking for a place outside the wall to lay the foundation and build a house.
There is no other way. The houses built on that small area are not enough for 5,000 people to live in. We had planned to squeeze in before, but now the land is bigger and there is no need to squeeze in together, not to mention that there will be more people in the future.
The land Ye Xiao received from Lv Jianping the second time was quite large, encompassing several streets. However, he only wanted the right to use the area, meaning he could build houses on it as he pleased. He wouldn't interfere with the original residents, nor would he ask them to move out. However, if he wanted to free up enough land for new buildings, he would inevitably have to demolish some of the old houses. Thus, a demolition office was established, responsible for communicating with the old residents, building new houses for them, and compensating them for their old ones.
The people living here couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen and were extremely happy. Who wouldn't want to live in a sturdy and spacious cement house like the one in Zhengyang Brigade, even if the conditions were a little worse? Not to mention that Zhengyang Brigade would also provide certain material compensation.
When people from other places heard about such good news, they regretted not choosing this place when they first chose to live. Now if they want to get involved, there will be no such good thing - the original residents can continue to live here, but if others want to move in, they have to rely on Ye Xiao's opinion.
While the Zhengyang Brigade continued to vigorously carry out construction, another wave of mercenaries arrived at the Ningshi base. They were more professional than the five people led by Ding Jinbo. They made Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C, and the division of labor was very clear. It was clearly arranged who would inquire and who would follow, and then they entered the base with confidence.
