Making cement is a very tiring job. Clay, iron ore and limestone are mixed in proportion and ground into a fine powder. After calcination, other materials are added and ground into the powder again to make cement. Although a factory has been built with special equipment such as crushers and decomposition furnaces, the conditions are limited after all, and a lot of manpower is needed.
For example, the grinding and crushing process employed many earth-type mutants and a large number of ordinary strong young people, and the calcination process employed many fire-type mutants. After obtaining the cement, a lot of water was needed to use it. Although most of the water was from the river outside the base, it would be much more convenient if there were a few water-type mutants to assist.
So Ye Xiao threw the earth, fire and water elements among the seven people into the work of burning and mixing cement, and the other four also worked hard. These seven people had no mental power, so their threat was greatly reduced. They were shackled and someone was assigned to watch them carefully, so there was no need to worry about them causing trouble.
The task of guarding them was taken over by the law enforcement team, and these seven people became the first batch of labor camp prisoners in the Zhengyang Brigade. It can't be considered the first batch, the first batch should be Wang Shuo, He Fan and Shao Ping.
Ye Xiao went back and told Lin Tan Tan about this. Lin Tan Tan was curious: "Wang Shuo also went to labor reform?"
"Not yet. I had no intention of letting him live. I didn't intend to kill him for the time being but to use him to punish Shao Ping." The two were locked up together. Even if Wang Shuo only had half his life left, Shao Ping would be bullied badly. Ye Xiao hated Shao Ping very much, but there were very few people with wood-type abilities, and this person's ability was quite strong. It would be a pity to kill him. Anyway, he was just a wood-type person and couldn't cause any trouble. Just give him some punishment.
But today, these seven mercenaries made him realize that there would be more people like this in the future. It was impossible to let them go, but it would be a waste to kill them all. Except for the particularly vicious ones, the others would serve as laborers for them. It wouldn't make much difference if Wang Shuo was killed.
"Once Wang Shuo recovers a little, let him start the fire. Otherwise, he won't be given any food. The same goes for Shao Ping. It's inevitable that people will get injured during the construction process, so let him be on call all day to treat people." This is how they were arranged during the day, and they were locked up together at night.
It's just that the "prison" needs to be built stronger, and the guards need to be replaced with stronger ones...
Lin Tan Tan looked at the time and said to Ye Xiao who was in deep thought: "The time is almost up."
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, took off his clothes, and only wore a vest and trousers, and started today's "torture" again.
Compared with yesterday, the discomfort has hardly subsided. It is still the kind of severe itchiness that makes you want to scratch yourself to death, and the pain in the itchiness, as well as the discomfort of soaring heartbeat, blood pressure and body temperature.
As for the two bottles of wine, Ye Xiao did try to drink some this time, but he found that the energy in his body slowed down a bit after drinking. Lin Tan couldn't help but persuade him to just rely on alcohol to relieve the pain.
Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still didn't do it. The relief would be limited. Since the process of activating the energy was good for him, why not endure it?
Lin Tantan felt somewhat helpless and could only stay by his side, talk to him, change his water to lower his body temperature, and observe any beneficial changes in his body.
She could tell there was something wrong at a glance. She changed the water too frequently last night, changing it as soon as the water temperature rose a little. Because Ye Xiao was wearing long sleeves, she couldn't see clearly. This time Ye Xiao was only wearing a vest. When she looked carefully, she found that there were strands of gray dirt seeping out of Ye Xiao's skin.
Then, the skin seemed to be better and the muscles seemed to be tighter.
Hey, it also has the function of detoxification and beauty.
Lin Tan Tan was an eye-opener.
Looking at the man lying in the water with his eyes closed, it was as if I were looking at a sleeping beauty. I told him about this discovery and then asked, "You've been reborn. Do you think you'll become more beautiful?"
Ye Xiao opened his eyes and glanced at her weakly. Lin Tan laughed: "For a more perfect body and a more beautiful face, come on, I'm rooting for you!" After the teasing, she still felt distressed, so she lay beside him, paddling the water and talking to him.
After three o'clock, all the discomfort disappeared. Even if Ye Xiao was a tough guy, he felt like he almost died. However, this time he could hold on better than yesterday. He first sent Lin Tan Tan back to his room, and then went back to sleep.
The next day, he was full of energy again.
After a few days of this, although those six hours every night were very painful, Ye Xiao did feel the tangible benefits. His body was stronger and he had more energy. He did not feel tired even if he only slept one or two hours a day or even did not sleep at all. He was also more adept at using his supernatural powers.
But in Lin Tantan's eyes, his skin was even better, the kind that even a knife couldn't pierce it, and it felt very smooth to the touch, the kind of smoothness that was different from girls' skin, which made her always unable to resist touching it.
April soon arrived, and the weather was getting hotter day by day. People were wearing fewer and thinner clothes. This was a good thing, but also not a good thing. At this time when there was a shortage of clothes and water, most people did not change their clothes for a month or two. They did not even have the conditions to take a bath, so it was not uncommon for them to have a group of fleas on their bodies.
When the weather gets hot, you can remove some of your stinky clothes and wash them, but the sour odor of your sweat becomes even harder to disguise. Lin Tantan occasionally visits a clinic, and the stench in the lobby can give him a headache—and that's even for someone who can afford it.
She now felt a little unable to go out with the public. Thinking about the summer when everyone would be sweating profusely but without water to wash up, she felt a little desperate.
Therefore, it was definitely a wise decision for Ye Xiao to set up a water plant in Zhengyang Brigade.
The current water use mainly comes from three aspects. One is digging wells to obtain shallow underground water, but the water resources underground in the base are not very abundant, and it is often necessary to dig very deep to get water.
One method is to use water from the river outside the base, but this isn't drinkable. Although it undergoes a series of simple sedimentation, filtration, and sterilization steps, who knows how many people have died in this river water, or whether it contains viruses or anything like that. Therefore, the base discourages drinking it, and most people use it for bathing and washing. Even so, the supply for each person is extremely limited. For example, the Zhengyang Brigade has built their own equipment to pump water from outside the base and use the treated river water for building and construction, which is a significant undertaking.
The third source of water is bottled mineral water before the end of the world, but very few people can still use this now. In this case, the most reassuring source is the water released by water-based mutants.
The water plant of Zhengyang Brigade is a place where water-based people with special abilities come to release and sell water, and people who need water come here to buy water.
Everyone originally thought that there were only a few dozen water-related psychics in the entire brigade, and no matter how much water they released, it would not be enough for the consumption of more than 5,000 people. Who knew that this water plant could actually support the consumption of the entire brigade? Although there were purchase restrictions and one person could only buy 20 liters a day, the amount was still quite amazing. After all, anyone who worked in the brigade had a basic supply of five to fifty liters a day.
At the beginning, on the first day of the water plant's opening, the situation was like this: members of the brigade or their families who lived nearby lined up to buy water early in the morning. The scene was very lively, and the line was very long. "Hurry up, if you are late, there may be no water." "Why are there so many people in front of me? Will there be no water by my turn?" "Hey, there's still some, it's okay, it's okay."
Then in the afternoon, others who arrived late said, "Oh, there must be no water. I can't take a shower today... Hey, there's still water?"
A few days later, people went to the water plant leisurely. As long as they went there during the opening hours, they didn't have to worry about running out of water. There was no need to panic.
At five o'clock that afternoon, an elderly woman arrived at the water plant with her ten-year-old grandson, pushing a cart. They entered through the main gate with their ID cards, and then swiped their cards again to draw water. "We bought 60 kilograms of water for our family of three, and 30 kilograms for my son. My son's name is Zhao Jiang, and his card is linked to mine, so he can just swipe mine."
The old lady handed over two cards in her hand. The person who managed the water plant was a skinny old man. Although he was skinny, he was actually very agile. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He could easily deal with five ordinary people alone. I heard that he was a veteran.
The old man was dozing off at the moment, his eagle eyes narrowed, and he looked just like any other old man. Upon seeing the grandparents and grandchildren approaching, he cheerfully stood up and took out his card: "I see. We're all familiar faces, how could I not remember you?"
As he spoke, he deftly swiped his card. He first swiped the old lady's card on a red card reader. This was for water supply, not for cash. The system kept track of how much water each employed person had registered for each day. Zhao Jiang, a busy but filial man, had already linked his card to his mother's for easy access.
After swiping the red card machine, the two cards were swiped on another blue card machine. Zhao's mother's card was swiped twice, and the amount of water purchased was entered. This cost money, which is the virtual currency used by the team now - contribution points.
The old man asked as he worked, "The day is almost over, why are you still drawing so much water?"
The old lady was delighted when she heard this: "Give my good grandson a good bath today. My son is busy outside all day and he is so sloppy. When he comes back, he should wash up. And his clothes, I always make them dirty when he goes out. How can I wash them clean without more water? It's just that these contribution points have been used up in a flash."
This sounds like a complaint, but anyone who is not deaf can hear the pride in it.
Contribution points were earned through work, and naturally varied greatly depending on the type of work. They were deposited daily into each person's personal account. The brigade had only been established for a few days, so some people's contribution points might not even be enough to buy 20 liters of water a day.
But this old lady's son is very promising. He is a member of the combat team. When they were out of the base on a mission the day before yesterday, a group got a lot of prey. After deducting the basic amount required, the rest were divided equally among the members of their team. They could take it away and deal with it themselves, or hand it over to the team to be counted as contribution points. His son exchanged all the money for contribution points and earned a lot of contribution points in one mission.
Contribution points can only be used within the Zhengyang Brigade. At this time, the relocation has not yet taken place, so there are limited places where contribution points can be used. The trading market is one, and there are already fine grains being sold there. The water plant is also a place to spend money, especially since the water is sold cheaply, at only one contribution point per liter of water, so the old lady was naturally willing to spend it.
"Now when I think about the time when I wanted to split every drop of water into two parts to use, it really feels like a dream." The old lady felt particularly happy when she saw the water splashing into the bucket.
Although the current situation is completely different from the situation before the apocalypse, it is much better than the situation a few months ago. He should pay attention to his son's future, and things will only get better in the future.
The old man said cheerfully, "Yes."
The old lady watched the water flow and couldn't help asking, "There's still so much water so late at night. I was worried it wouldn't be enough. How much water does our water plant have in storage?"
The old man said, "There are plenty. We water-based people are capable. Once you move in, you won't have to come and get water every day. There will be water pipes directly connected to your homes."
"Hey, that's convenient." The old lady looked at the huge factory buildings at the back. The huge tanks in those buildings were probably filled with water. She was envious and in awe. "Our water-based psychics are really amazing."
As a "very powerful" water-based psychic and the main force supporting the water supply of the water plant, Lin Tantan is in the water plant at this time. She is sitting on a high stool, with her right hand on the edge of a water tank that looks like a steel tank more than two meters high, and is pouring water into it. In front of her, she is holding a mobile phone with a mobile phone holder and watching cartoons. The little hamster is squatting on her shoulder, watching cartoons together, and peeking into the water tank from time to time.
Lin Tantan was well aware of its tricks and said, "If you dare to jump in, I won't give you any nuts."
The little hamster squeaked and rubbed her neck to show that it was being well behaved.
Lin Tantan glanced at it. For some reason, this group of mutant rats particularly liked water. Before Lin Tantan had hidden his water-related abilities, they had no water to play with, and they seemed particularly happy only when taking a bath. But now, they were almost going crazy with joy, because Lin Tantan would pour water down from the second floor every night.
They first dug the first puddle, then the second, and the third. They also discussed with Lin and asked her to pour water directly into the puddle. Now almost every mouse has its own exclusive "swimming pool".
Even though he told them that it was bath water, they still didn't mind at all. As a result, every time Ye Xiao saw the dozen or so puddles filled with his bath water in the backyard, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
But the water is not that dirty. Although some dirt will overflow from the body every time, it will be nothing after being diluted with a large amount of water.
After a while, the water tank was almost full. Lin Tantan finished draining the water, took down his mobile phone along with the holder, jumped off the high stool, and walked out.
The old lady who was getting water was stunned when she saw her come out, then her face broke into a smile: "Doctor Lin! You're here!"
Lin Tantan is now known by many names: Miss Lin, Doctor Lin, Team Leader Lin, and Deputy Captain Lin. Different people and occasions call her different names, but the most common one is "Doctor Lin." After all, she has a lot of patients, and her main identity to the outside world is that of a wood-type mutant. She smiled and nodded to the old lady, then glanced at the child beside her: "Is your stomach still uncomfortable?"
This child was one of her patients. He was weak and had a weak stomach. His father had given him something good, not a supernatural ingredient, but a mutated white radish, to nourish him. However, it was a mutated ingredient after all, and he almost died from it. It was a similar situation to Jiang Xiaotian's. The child was young and a member of the inner circle. He came to Lin Tan Tan's house overnight and asked for treatment. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise he would have been unable to be saved.
Ordinary people can't stand special ingredients, and weak ordinary people can't stand mutated ingredients, which is quite miserable. As a result, mutated ingredients are not as popular as they were at the beginning.
The child smiled shyly at Lin Tantan. Lin Tantan rummaged in his pocket, took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into the child's pocket. He said hello to the old man who was looking after the water plant and left.
Her personal bodyguard, Xu Li, who had been hiding somewhere just now, appeared quietly again and followed her.
The old lady looked at her back with gratitude and respect, and sighed, "Doctor Lin has a really good temper, good looks, and great abilities... Oh, why is she here?"
The old man looked at her and said, "Come and take a look."
The fact that Lin Tantan is a five-element mutant is still a secret in the Ning City base. There is no need to keep it secret, but there is no need to shout it out. Just let nature take its course. The old man obviously knows it, but he will not tell it to others. There are many smart people like him in the Zhengyang Brigade.
Lin Tantan strolled around the compound. People now called this walled area of Zhengyang Brigade the compound. At this moment, the major projects in the compound had been completed, and the next thing was the soft decoration and the like. When she arrived at her clinic, the house had been completed, but it was still empty.
She was wondering where to get tables, chairs and other equipment when she heard a commotion outside the compound. A train drove from the base gate across the parking lot.
This is the combat team that left the base today.
Lin Tantan immediately smiled and went over to greet him.
The car drove into the gate of the compound and stopped in the spacious parking lot in front of the comprehensive function building. Two of the large trucks came directly to the sheep pen.
Yes, the sheep pen that Lin Tantan had built was also included in the compound, but the smell is a bit strong, so it will definitely be moved out after some houses outside the compound are completed.
Lin Tan Tan ran over and saw that a large truck was carrying white swans and black swans. Most of them were of normal size, but there were two particularly large ones that were obviously mutant species, one black and one white. They were all tied up. The black one looked very aggressive and kept struggling, while the white one was lying there motionless, as if it was deep in thought.
Lin Tan looked at them for a long time and found these two very interesting.
Besides the swans, there was also a red bird, a few foxes that looked like puppy puppies, a few white wolves, monkeys tied up like dumplings, a baby elephant, a baby deer, and even a giant python, but it was already dead, and...
She was stunned. Did they pay for a zoo?
"Tan Tan." Ye Xiao got out of the car. Yes, he went out today. Lin Tan Tan looked him over. His combat uniform was still clean, not to mention the bloodstains. It looked like he had just gone out for a walk.
Lin Tan Tan asked, "Didn't you say we were going to fight tigers? What's going on?"
The reason why Ye Xiao went out was because some members of the combat team who returned yesterday were injured, and they were seriously injured. They said that they encountered two mutant tigers, which were particularly ferocious. One of them even had ice abilities. If it weren't for the concerted efforts of the group, and if they hadn't thrown all the prey they had harvested to the tigers without regret to divert their attention, and then quickly escaped, I'm afraid half of them would have died in the tiger's mouth.
After hearing this, Ye Xiao decided to go there by himself today.
In the end, they didn't kill the tiger, but they did kill a group of animals of various species.
Ye Xiao said, "These should all be from the city zoo. We didn't see any tigers when we went there, so we found these and brought them back."
It’s indeed a zoo. Lin Tan asked: "Are they all edible?" Foxes, wolves, monkeys, elephants... Can these really be eaten?
Ye Xiao said: "We will eat the delicious ones ourselves and sell the unpalatable ones. We will try to raise the ones that can be raised. As for the swans, if they can lay eggs, we will raise them. Goose eggs are very good." It is not easy to eat eggs these days, so Ye Xiao wanted to get something delicious and fresh for Lin Tan.
Lin Tan nodded, then moved closer to look at the animals. After looking around, her gaze still fell on the two enormous mutant geese. They were truly enormous, half a person's height, with round bodies and long necks. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them. As if sensing its gaze, it gave her a white look before lazily lowering its eyes, looking quite dejected. Well...it didn't seem quite so dejected, but rather as if it didn't care, as if it wouldn't even bother to move even if it was caught.
Lin Tantan was amused by it.
Suddenly, the black one broke free from the rope on its body, flapped its big wings angrily and screamed, trying to run away, but its body was too heavy to fly, and it was immediately pinned down by someone.
"Why not kill it? This guy is really troublesome." said the person who held it down. Lin Tantan quickly said that she wanted the two mutant geese.
Since she asked, the two geese naturally belonged to her. She didn't take them for free; she bought them herself. These prey were calculated by kilogram for contribution points, though the price varied depending on appearance and species. These two together weighed over 300 kilograms, and they were so full of life, and they were a mutant breed. Lin Tan had lost over 4,000 contribution points, but fortunately, it was only enough for her to keep water for a day. Ye Xiao offered to pay for her, but she refused, so he swiped his card on the spot.
Ye Xiao asked: "How do you want to eat?"
"Eat? No, I want to train them to be guard geese."
Ye Xiao: “……?”
"Look, they are so cute. The tall, white one is so cool, and the black one is so fierce and lively. I heard that geese can guard the house. It would be so cool if they could guard my house."
...That looks like a domestic goose, right?
Ye Xiao looked at the two fat swans and couldn't find anything cute about them. But when he looked at the little hamster on his girlfriend's shoulder and thought about how she was often surrounded by a group of mutant rats, he calmed down. "As long as you're happy, I'll help you train."
As a result, the two swans were brought to the villa. When the black swan saw the big puddles behind it, it immediately fell into them.
The puddle was dug large enough to accommodate even a swan of this size, and it could also swim a few times in it and spin in circles happily.
A lot of water splashed out, and there happened to be two mutant rats dozing on the water surface in the puddle it chose. One of them was directly splashed out by the water, and fell to the ground with its legs spread out, looking confused and unable to react. The other one was sat on by the black swan at the bottom of the puddle, and it crawled out after a long time of panting. It climbed onto the swan, squeaking, biting and scratching, but the black swan ignored it.
The black swan is happy. It hasn't soaked in water for a long time. Many swans, other animals, and people died in the lake where it lived in the past. It doesn't want to soak in the water anymore. The water in other places is the same. Although it doesn't have the same mysophobia as that guy, it doesn't want to touch that kind of water either, okay?
The water looked very clean. It looked at the rat jumping around on its body. Well, although it was polluted by this guy, it was still much cleaner than the water outside.
Lin Tantan was stunned, but the white swan beside her was not so anxious. It had been lying on the ground with its long neck drooping, looking like a Buddhist in deep thought. Now it straightened up, raised its neck, revealing an elegant arc, and called out to Lin Tantan in a reserved manner: "Ga."
Lin Tantan was a little confused: "You want to hook up too?"
"Quack." Yes, it wanted to soak in some water. But the white swan looked at the puddles without moving. Lin Tantan felt that he could see a look of disdain in its little eyes.
She thought about it, then dug a big hole for it and put fresh clean water in it. The white swan watched for a long time without moving. Lin Tantan thought it didn't like it, but after the mud and sand in the water had settled, it finally took a step gracefully.
It was probably taking a bath gracefully, but underestimated its own weight and fell in headfirst.
Lin Tantan couldn't bear to watch it, and quickly took two steps back, but was still splashed with water. He saw the white swan flapping its wings twice, making the water even more turbid, but the swan itself was still able to hold on. It floated up calmly, posed, and began to slowly peck and wash its own feathers.
At first glance, it looks like a noble and elegant goose.
Lin Tantan's mouth twitched again and again. What kind of luck did she have? What kind of weird goose did she meet?
Ye Xiao, who witnessed the whole process, and the other roommates who came to join in the fun were all twitching. What was going on? Why did she always encounter such strange creatures?
Then the two mutant rats, completely helpless against the black swan, ran up to Lin Tan Tan, tugging at their trouser legs and jumping up and down, squeaking non-stop, clearly complaining. Lin Tan Tan, looking troubled, tried to appease them, "Okay, okay, I'll make you a new puddle tonight, just for the two of you."
I think it’s even funnier.
Ye Xiao was speechless for a long time, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and went upstairs to help her negotiate with the two swans.
The final result was naturally that the two swans settled here. As long as there were blisters every day, it would be easy to ask them to do things.
Although besides guarding the house, it seems that they can't see what else they can do for the time being, and judging by their size, they must eat a lot, but they seem to indicate that they can find food on their own...
Aside from the addition of two new members, the nights in the villa remained the same as before. Ye Xiao was still transforming, but it was getting less torturous day by day, and Lin Tan Tan wasn't as worried anymore. She felt like she had said everything she could say in the past few days, so she asked Ye Xiao to watch videos with her to distract her. However, the videos she watched were all...
Ye Xiao looked over. It was a martial arts film from the last century, which Ye Xiao had watched many times when he was a child. However, Lin Tantan was watching it intently. He was so absorbed by the plot that he almost forgot that there was a living person next to him. He only remembered to change the water because the two impatient mutant rats downstairs jumped up and urged him to do so.
Ye Xiao sighed. It had only been a few days and people were no longer worried about him.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao's walkie-talkie rang. Lin Tantan came out of the gripping movie plot, took the walkie-talkie and showed it to Ye Xiao, "It's Lu Jianping, answer it." His voice was still a little slow, but very calm, and it was impossible to tell that he was in an abnormal state.
Lu Jianping's voice was filled with excitement and solemnity: "Ye Xiao, there's a troop seventy miles from the base asking for help. They say they know you, and their leader is Han Ying."
Ye Xiao was slightly stunned and sat up from the water: "Han Ying? What's going on?"
Lu Jianping said that the other party was a regular army, carrying some rescue targets northward. They passed by here and wanted to come to the base to rest and replenish supplies, but they did not expect to be surrounded by a group of zombies at night, and could only ask for help from the Ning City base.
"I don't plan to rescue you. At least we have to wait until dawn. Ye Xiao, we all know how dangerous it is outside at night. If I send troops out, it would mean exchanging my lives for theirs. I can't give such an order. But he mentioned that he knew you and asked me to convey his request. You can do whatever you want." Lu Jianping said.
Seeing Ye Xiao's thoughtful expression, Lin Tantan hurriedly said, "You can't go out!" He was having trouble walking, so how could he talk about saving people? Even if the person was fine, she wouldn't let him go out. It was indeed very dangerous outside the base at night. Ye Xiao was powerful, but he was not a god. Going out would be playing with his own life!
Ye Xiao said: "I know, but Han Ying and I have a deep friendship, I can't just ignore him like this." He thought about it, got up from the water, drank a glass of wine, felt the energy in his body become dull and stable, and went out to wake up Jiang Xiaotian.
When Jiang Xiaotian heard the situation, he worked like a tiger on the computer and connected to Han Ying's signal through the base's signal station. Even though they were seventy kilometers apart, it was his limit.
The call was connected, and Ye Xiao introduced himself. The background was very chaotic, with all kinds of shouting, gunfire, screams, and the roars of zombies. The man's heavy breathing paused, and then an anxious and excited voice came: "Old Ye, it's really you! I heard that you were at the Ning City base, but I didn't believe it. When will you arrive? There are a lot of zombies here, bring more guys!"
Ye Xiao paused and said, "Sorry, I can't go there for the time being. Where are you now and what's the situation? I have the most detailed map here, maybe it can help you."
The man on the other end swallowed his saliva and yelled, "There are hundreds of us here, more than two hundred of us ordinary people, and we've been surrounded by zombies. Are you really just going to watch us die without helping?"
Ye Xiao nodded his head, his voice filled with patience: "Hold on till dawn, I'll be there."
"You - forget it, I don't rely on you, just go back to sleep!" Then he hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone, Jiang Xiaotian said, "The call is disconnected."
Ye Xiao nodded slightly, leaned back, closed his eyes, and put his arms over his eyes. His breathing became rapid again, sweat quickly broke out on his body, and his skin flushed. He said, "Where's the location?"
"This has been decided, it's here." Jiang Xiaotian opened the electronic map and saw a clear red dot on it, more than 70 kilometers away from the base.
Lin Tantan couldn't bear it any longer: "Ye Xiao, you can think about this after three o'clock, just go back now."
Bai Cheng also came over and advised Ye Xiao: "I'll contact him to see if I can help. You go and rest first."
Ye Xiao did not refuse. He knew that he could not do anything in his current state, but he did not go upstairs again. He went directly to the backyard, chose a puddle and soaked in it. The mutant rat sleeping in the puddle was frightened and immediately crawled out.
Ye Xiao opened his eyes and looked at Lin Tan Tan: "Tan Tan, I'll be here, just take a dip in one puddle after another. You go and have a rest. I've asked you to accompany me these days, it's hard work."
Lin Tan Tan shook his head, squatted aside, and thought for a moment: "How about I go."
Ye Xiao was startled, then immediately shook his head decisively: "No! Absolutely not! What are you thinking?"
Lin Tan said in a muffled voice, "I see you're in a difficult situation." She had never heard of that Han Ying. Could she have died tonight? If she really died, Ye Xiao would definitely be unhappy and even feel guilty.
Ye Xiao said, "I do feel a little bad. Han Ying is someone I've known since childhood. We've been in contact over the years and even fought side by side..." Ye Xiao spoke a little quickly, his voice trembling slightly due to his physical discomfort. He took a deep breath, slowed down his speech, and said calmly, "But there's nothing we can do about it. When he leads the team out, he should be prepared to face danger and be aware that he could die at any time. If he really dies, that's fate."
He was silent for a moment: "But after three o'clock, I want to go over."
He looked at Lin Tan, as if he was worried that she would be unhappy or object.
Lin Tan Tan lowered his eyes and sighed after a long moment: "If you are sure he is still alive and still needs you, then go ahead, but you have to take me with you."
"No!" Ye Xiao rejected it outright, his voice rising.
Lin Tan Tan didn't shout at him, but said calmly, "Although I haven't been out for a long time, when we first came to Ning City, every night we were worried. Now we have to save people. The zombies are even stronger now. I can imagine that situation. I know you are very powerful, but no one can be sure that they won't be scratched in that situation. There may even be someone you save who is infected. If you accidentally get scratched, I'm by your side and can give you first aid."
