Ye Xiao couldn't believe what he heard. He stared at Lin Tan Tan with an expression as if he had been struck by lightning.
Did she say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? That’s right, wasn’t she drunk? She must have said it nonsense!
Ye Xiao said, "You're drunk. Take a nap first, and you'll be fine when you wake up."
"I'm not drunk, I'm not talking nonsense!" Lin Tantan's eyes widened even more than Ye Xiao's. "I have evidence. I've collected so many textual research papers and so many films. We also have several forums..." She muttered to herself as she searched through every pocket. "Hey, where is it? Where did I lose it?"
In the end, only a mobile phone was found. Lin Tantan stared at this antique phone, and then she remembered that there was evidence here as well, evidence that she had taken personally!
She laughed as she unlocked the door and flipped through the gallery until she finally found it. She said to Ye Xiao mysteriously, "I'll show you the evidence!"
Ye Xiao was almost out of breath because of her, and even began to recall in a messy way: had he and Bai Cheng really done anything inappropriate?
No, no, no, absolutely impossible!
Then he saw the "evidence".
It was a photo, he and Bai Cheng were talking in the house, one standing and one sitting. Judging from the background, it was still when they were in Yang City, at night.
Seeing this photo, memories came back. That was when Bai Cheng told him that he also wanted to pursue Lin Tan.
And yet, somehow, it became evidence?! No matter how you look at it, it's just a normal photo.
He stared at the smug Lin Tan Tan and patted his head: "Good boy, you'll wake up after a good sleep."
Lin Tan Tan knocked his hand away with an expression that said, "You still don't admit it?" He said, "Stop quibbling. You can't fool me. I have eyes that can detect adultery." He stretched out two claws and poked his own eyes.
Ye Xiao almost wanted to vomit blood. What on earth was wrong with this train of thought? He recalled that night when he and Bai Cheng were talking, and suddenly there was a flash of white light, and then he saw her hiding outside the door with a strange smile on her face. So she must have been secretly photographed at that time, and she was smiling like that because she discovered the "affair"...
Ye Xiao's face turned green.
Looking at Lin Tantan's silly face, he couldn't say anything and could only walk back and forth beside the bed holding his breath.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. She is just a drunkard. There is no point in arguing with her... However, this drunkard had been secretly filming him and Bai Cheng when she was sober a few months ago, and she was secretly happy about it. It was obvious that she believed in their relationship!
Ye Xiao felt unwell!
When he walked to the left, Lin Tan Tan turned her face to the left. When he walked to the right, she turned to the right again and stared at him like a silly pet dog.
Finally, Ye Xiao finally calmed down and felt calm. He squatted down and said to Lin Tantan, "Tantan, you're mistaken. Bai Cheng and I..." He gritted his teeth and said, "There's absolutely nothing between us."
If Bai Cheng was a woman, her misunderstanding might make sense, but they are two grown men... so why would they think like that?
Just then, Lin Tantan heard his words, and her bright face dimmed. Her long eyelashes drooped, and she looked very depressed: "I know, you've fallen in love with someone else."
Ye Xiao: “…”
Fortunately, Lin Tantan immediately denied it: "No, how can it be called transference of affection?"
Yes, how can it be called transference of affection? There is nothing at all!
Before Ye Xiao could breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Tan Tan said in an even more resentful tone: "Before you had the chance to develop anything, I changed you. Many things have changed."
Ye Xiao felt like he was about to vomit blood.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It has nothing to do with you... No, we don't plan to develop anything at all!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Tantan's expression became even more dejected: "Yes, it's over before it even started." She suddenly grabbed Ye Xiao's face with both hands and slapped him with a crisp sound. Her left hand was free, so she simply covered it with her sleeve. She held Ye Xiao's big face with a very serious expression: "However, if this is your choice, I respect you. You can like whoever you want. As long as it is your choice, I will support it with both hands! From today on, I am no longer a CP fan, but a complete fan of only one person!"
It was just that their CP was broken up, and she felt a little sad. She covered her chest and felt a little sad.
What the hell is going on? Ye Xiao, who had no idea what star-chasing was, didn't understand the last sentence at all, but he clearly understood what Lin Tantan meant. His expression was distorted. Suddenly, he sensed something in her words. He frowned and asked, "As long as it's my choice, you support it?"
"Yes, yes!"
"What if the person I like doesn't like me back?"
"How could anyone not like you?"
"What if there is?"
Lin Tan Tan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll help you pursue her and create opportunities for you. There's a saying that goes, even if there aren't any conditions, you have to create them!" She patted Ye Xiao's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, don't give up, you're not fighting alone!"
The corners of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, and then he looked at her with a deep gaze: "What if I like you?"
Lin Tantan tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Is that so?" She laughed, looking remarkably relaxed: "Then I'll be with you."
However, when he saw her smile, Ye Xiao felt a chill in his heart.
As hot as my heart was when I heard her say that she loved him the most, it felt so cold now, as if a basin of ice water was poured over my head.
Lin Tan Tan looked at him curiously, then held up his big face and said, "Are you unhappy? Don't be unhappy. If anyone bullies you, I will beat him up!" He looked like he was protecting his cub.
Ye Xiao felt even more upset. He looked at her and suddenly wanted to knock her head open to see what she was thinking. Although he knew he was asking for trouble, the same thought kept turning around in his mind, and he couldn't help asking, "Do you really like me?"
"Really?"
"Why?"
"Because you're the best!"
Ye Xiao curled his lips: "What if I fall in love with someone else in the future?"
Lin Tantan suddenly stopped talking.
Ye Xiao felt very nervous. He was looking forward to hearing the answer he wanted to hear.
Lin Tantan spoke up, her expression extremely serious. She said, "Comrade Ye Xiao, you'll lose me if you do this! Being fickle is wrong. If someone isn't loyal in their feelings, their personality will be greatly diminished, and they'll lose fans!"
Ye Xiao: “……?”
Then she said mysteriously, "But considering our special situation, I will still generously forgive you. So we have to keep it a secret and don't let anyone know about our relationship. That way, when you meet someone you truly love in the future, you won't have to worry about your ex. In the future, history books will record you as a loyal and affectionate man." She rubbed her fingers together. "You'll have a lot of fans!"
Ye Xiao: “…”
Ye Xiao: “…………”
He couldn't stand it any longer and pressed her head hard: "Sleep!"
…
Lin Tantan looked at him aggrievedly, but under the cruel suppression of his gaze, she still huddled herself under the quilt, leaving only her head exposed, pouting and hesitating, "I don't want to sleep. The sun hasn't set yet."
Ye Xiao put his hands on the side of her head: "Didn't you say you didn't want me to be unhappy? I will be unhappy if you don't sleep."
Lin Tantan rolled his eyes and seemed to be hesitant. Fortunately, he still had some brains and said, "No, Ye Xiao would never make such a weird request."
Ye Xiao laughed. He was quite sober at this point. He said, "Then I'll stay here with you, okay? You're drunk, so you'll be fine after a good sleep."
Lin Tan Tan immediately patted the seat next to him.
Ye Xiao lay beside her with a smile. Lin Tantan wrapped herself in the quilt and huddled beside him. She closed her eyes. Her head was a little dizzy. She yawned and closed her eyes.
In her drowsy state, she heard a pleasant voice asking in a low voice that made her feel at ease.
"Let's talk. You said we are a special case. Why?"
"Because you made a mistake in the first place."
"What's wrong?"
"Because you are just grateful to me, it doesn't necessarily mean you really like me." Lin Tantan muttered.
Ye Xiao was silent for a long time, then he couldn't help laughing. He turned around and looked at the little girl's sleeping face: "Little fool, are you stupid or stubborn?"
Is it difficult to believe that he truly likes her?
What are you thinking about?
Or is it that she really hasn't gotten the point, or even that she really has no interest in him?
He looked at her sleeping defenselessly, her mouth slightly open, delicate and cute.
It’s true that I trust him, it’s true that I like him, and it’s even more true that I don’t want him to be unhappy in the slightest.
But she thought there was something between him and Bai Cheng, and she didn't care that he liked someone else. She even looked like she wanted to help him with some advice on how to pursue that person.
Ye Xiao frowned tightly, feeling helpless and powerless.
He thought he had taken a big step forward, but in the end, nothing had changed. He had used that self-torture tactic on her, calculating that she would be soft-hearted and force her to face up to her feelings. But it turned out that she was soft-hearted, but she did not face up to her feelings.
In fact, it can be seen from her reaction at that time that her anger and anxiety were all directed at him for not taking care of herself, and had nothing to do with Mingze.
Ye Xiao's mind was a little confused. After a long time, he sighed deeply and his eyes became a little dim.
He turned to look at Lin Tan again. The little girl had frowned slightly, as if she was feeling a little uncomfortable. He smoothed her brows and thought calmly, it didn't matter. After all, she didn't reject being with him. One day, they would be able to understand each other.
…
Although he comforted himself, Ye Xiao was still in a bad mood, so his face was dark, and everyone else in the villa noticed it.
In the evening, Bai Cheng asked him, "What's wrong with you? Who offended you again?" He wondered if he had another disagreement with Han Ying, but Ye Xiao was staring at him intently, looking him up and down, left and right, as if he didn't know him at all.
Bai Cheng was baffled by him and felt a little uneasy: "What are you doing? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Ye Xiao turned his gaze away with a dull expression, then looked back after a moment: "Bai Cheng, you are already 28, right?"
Bai Cheng: “…Yes.”
Ye Xiao said seriously, "It's time to find a companion."
Bai Cheng: “…” Haha, you think you’re great just because you found a partner and are no longer single, and you even start urging others to do the same.
Bai Cheng: "Thanks for your concern, I haven't met the right one yet."
Ye Xiao frowned, as if he was struggling with something: "Then we'd better keep our distance from now on."
Bai Cheng: “???”
He thought about it for a moment, feeling confused, and then he thought he had figured out the crux of the matter. He said unhappily, "I said I've lost interest in Tan Tan and won't do anything about it. You don't distrust me, do you?"
I'm not worried about what you think of her, but I'm worried that she will suspect what I think of you. Thinking of this, Ye Xiao's face turned green again.
Lin Tantan slept through the entire night, while Ye Xiao endured the grueling six hours from nine to three alone, soaking in the dozen or so puddles in the backyard. He was despised by the swan mice but dared not resist.
The next day, Lin Tan woke up and saw that it was bright outside. He was still a little dazed and his memory was a little fuzzy. He wanted to stay on the hillside, but it seemed that he did some things later, such as playing pranks, releasing water, digging holes, etc. Scenes flashed in his mind but seemed a little unreal. Anyway, they all seemed quite stupid, and then it seemed... he also talked a lot with Ye Xiao.
It's over. Could it be that she lost her mind and spilled all her history?
She quickly jumped up and quickly packed herself up. She went downstairs and saw that everyone was gone. Only Xu Li was left. He was practicing sword in the yard. A group of mutant animals and plants formed a circle and watched her intently. When they saw her coming down, they put away their swords and stood up with them. "Wake up! Breakfast is in the pot. I'll go heat it up for you."
Lin Tan Tan looked at him in the training room, standing tall, the long sword held upside down behind his arm flashing with cold light. He looked very elegant. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at him: "No, no, I'm hot. Everyone else has left?"
She said no, but Xu Li still quickly heated it up for her. It was actually very simple, just put it in the microwave to heat it up. However, given Lin Tantan's glorious experience of blowing up the microwave, everyone had decided that she was not allowed to enter the kitchen.
After several beeps, steamed buns, milk, and a hot fried egg came out of the oven. For people who generally don't have enough to eat and have difficulty in getting fine grains, Lin Tantan's meals are undoubtedly very good. Things like milk and eggs were originally stored in Bai Cheng's space. Now no one else eats them, so they are only supplied to her.
Although Lin Tantan was not short of food, she still felt very touched by everyone's consideration.
Xu Li said as he worked: "Everyone is out."
Lin Tan Tan asked, "When did I come back yesterday? Did I... say anything strange?"
Xu Li glanced at her and said, "You didn't let me follow you yesterday. When I came back, Brother Ye had already brought you back. He also said that you had already gone to bed and didn't even get up to eat dinner."
Lin Tantan wiped her face, which means no one else saw her silly look?
Thankfully, she took a sip of the warm milk and asked, "So how did Ye Xiao spend last night?"
"Soak in the puddle in the backyard, taking turns soaking."
It was also hard work, Lin Tan thought, those puddles were all stagnant water, and had been soaked in by swans and mutant rats for a long time. Ye Xiao soaked in them once the day before yesterday, and he went to soak in them again yesterday. It was a bit miserable.
She held on to her head which still felt a little dizzy. She didn't expect that drinking a little alcohol would have such a big reaction.
Xu Li sat at the dining table and continued, "Brother Ye told me to stay with you closely from now on and not let you run around by yourself."
Lin Tan Tan almost choked and looked at him guiltily: "Did I really get into trouble?"
Xu Li shook his head in confusion: "I don't know, but Brother Ye seems to be in a bad mood."
Lin Tantan's face wrinkled up. Did she do or say something to make him angry? She scratched her face, then took a bite of the steamed bun, looked at Xu Li again, and still felt a little embarrassed.
For a small team like theirs, not to mention Ye Xiao, Bai Cheng and Xu Qin, Mei Baisheng leads a super strong combat team alone, Zhong Xiong is in charge of the armory and is also the leader of a combat team, Jiang Xiaotian is responsible for the entire information system, and Cheng Qinan is responsible for the general prediction of good and bad luck, and is a very awesome security consultant.
Everyone has a way out, but Xu Li has to stay by her side as a bodyguard...
Even though Ye Xiao and Xu Li themselves said that this arrangement was good for him, she still felt guilty.
She wondered if she could make it up to him in other ways.
After thinking about it, it seems that other compensations are quite empty except for awakening his superpowers.
She began to recall whether a safe method of artificially generating superpowers had been developed in the end times.
After searching around, I found nothing. There are quite a few strange methods, the most famous of which is brain tissue transplantation. In any case, there has not been a single case of survival, let alone successful transfer of superpowers.
There are some people with special abilities whose ability is to deprive others of their special abilities, but it is only deprivation, not transfer, and it has no effect other than harming others.
But this does not mean that there is no other way. In the first year of the apocalypse, ordinary people continued to awaken their special powers one after another, and this phenomenon still existed until the seventh year of the apocalypse, but it was decreasing year by year.
And if you eat some special supernatural foods, you can increase this probability. Although Xu Li did not awaken until the seventh year in history, it does not mean that he is isolated from supernatural powers. Perhaps he has not encountered the opportunity. Like Xu Qin, he awakened his supernatural powers early this time because he deliberately got wet in the rain.
Lin Tantan made up his mind and asked Xu Li, "Xu Li, if you could awaken a superpower, what kind of superpower would you want?"
Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly: "It depends on fate. Any ability can be very powerful as long as it is used well."
Lin Tan thought that this idea was very clear, and it was obvious that he still yearned for superpowers.
Lin Tantan suddenly felt that he was like a child who longed to go to school. People around him were gradually going to school, but his chance to go to school was delayed and he never got this opportunity until his death.
Her heart suddenly felt a little sour, and her eyes suddenly became fond of him: "If you could choose, which one would you choose?"
Although Xu Li felt that it was useless to think about it, like Mei Baisheng, who insisted on getting a fire element, but ended up getting a dark and silent dark element. He didn't know how many times he sighed and complained.
He thought about it honestly, and after a moment he said, "If I really could choose, I'd choose the wind type."
"Why?"
"It's fast, powerful, capable of attacking and defending, omnipresent, pervasive, and versatile, making it impossible for the enemy to defend themselves. It can also be combined with my sword energy to cause powerful damage. Most importantly, it can completely conceal one's aura, just like Brother Ye did. I think the ultimate realm of the Wind Element should be like a wild goose passing silently on the snow, leaving no trace."
Xu Li became a little excited as he spoke, and his whole body glowed with a firepower commensurate with his age. Not only did Lin Tan think that he looked like the ancient swordsman described in the book, it was obvious that he himself also had a great longing for that level of master.
Lin Tantan's eyes became more loving, and he wanted to say, silly child, the ultimate of the wind element is flying. If people can fly in the sky, how can it not be silent and traceless?
But overall, he is still a potential player with great imagination and romantic feelings.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a chill on her body and shivered. She subconsciously looked towards the door and saw a familiar tall figure standing at the entrance of the living room.
"Ah, Ye Xiao!" Lin Tan Tan almost choked on the steamed bun. Xu Li stood up and tactfully retreated from the dining table.
Ye Xiao walked in with a normal expression: "I came back to see if you were awake." As a result, when he came back, he saw her looking at Xu Li with pity on her face. Well, it should be pity, just like the way she looked at himself sometimes.
Ye Xiao's expression remained calm, but he felt sick inside. She was like this to everyone? So, did she like everyone and didn't want to hurt them?
Then someone else should chase her relentlessly...
He also said that he treated himself as his brother...
Ye Xiao felt like vomiting blood again.
He sat next to me and asked, "Do you feel any discomfort, like a headache?"
Lin Tan Tan shook his head.
Ye Xiao continued, "You can't drink alcohol anymore. It's my fault. I shouldn't have given you something with such a high alcohol content for your first time." At the very least, you should switch to something with a lower alcohol content or red wine.
Lin Tantan nodded guiltily, "I'm not drinking anymore. I'm not drinking anymore." This blackout feeling was really bad. She asked cautiously, "I didn't do anything, so what are you talking about?"
Ye Xiao looked at her and said seriously, "It's okay, he just pulled me aside to talk for a while."
Lin Tantan became nervous: "What?"
"For example, you said you liked me very much, that I was the best person in the world, and that you wanted to be with me forever." Ye Xiao said it with 70% truth and 30% falsehood, without blinking an eye.
Lin Tantan: "..." Lin Tantan's face turned red. His face, which didn't turn red even when he was drunk, was now completely red.
She poked and poked the microwave-fried egg into a mess with her chopsticks, then ate it bite by bite, her eyelashes trembling.
Seeing her like this, Ye Xiao suddenly stopped being angry and his chest no longer felt stuffy. A little excitement began to dance in his heart. He leaned in closer and whispered, "Is it true? Do you really want to be with me forever?"
Lin Tan Tan looked at him, then lowered his head and poked his fried egg, and said "hmm" softly, "If you want, I can do anything."
Ye Xiao: "..." I'm very happy, but also a little upset. What should I do? Can you remove that premise? If I don't want to, can you still wave goodbye to me happily?
Although he was upset, this promise still meant a lot to him. Since she would do anything as long as he was willing, he would not be polite.
Ye Xiao looked at her for a while, his dark eyes making people feel creepy. After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "I understand, I still have things to do, you continue eating, don't worry." After he said that, he left, walking as fast as when he came.
Lin Tantan was a little confused, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
She had always wanted to stay by his side for the rest of her life. Even after the end of the world, she wanted to live close to him. Of course, it would be best if she could still work for him.
And now, their relationship has become the closest one, so it is natural for them to be together for the rest of their lives.
Oh, which fan can have such good benefits as her?
If you really accept this kind of thing, the regret of breaking up the couple doesn't seem so great.
She happily continued to eat her breakfast, and felt that everything she ate tasted even better. With a happy "whoosh" she stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun into her mouth.
Then Ye Xiao strode back with a very serious expression.
Lin Tantan's mouth was full, so he quickly stood up and chewed and swallowed hard. "What's wrong?"
Ye Xiao came in front of her and looked at her for a moment with that unsettling look in his eyes. Suddenly, he lifted her face and kissed her hard on the forehead. His expression was even a little fierce as he said, "Listen, I only like you. I will never like anyone else, ever. Don't think about those messy things, and don't think about giving up your position to anyone else."
"Also," he leaned close to her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, each word even tinged with gritted teeth, "Bai Cheng and I have nothing to do with each other."
After saying this, he saw with satisfaction that the little girl's eyes were wide open and her cheeks were bulging with food, making her look like a chubby little hamster.
Ye Xiao was happy in his heart, patted his head and smoothed his hair: "Keep eating, I'm leaving."
This time he really left with a brisk pace, leaving Lin Tan Tan alone and petrified. A moment later, she held her head and screamed like a groundhog.
What did he just say? She must have misheard! She didn't hear Bai Cheng's name, absolutely not! Ahhhh, what on earth did she say yesterday?! This can't be true, she didn't say anything, nothing at all...
Xu Li stared blankly at her holding her head and howling silently, completely unaware of what was happening. After hesitating for a while, he decided not to go over and ask.
Because of Ye Xiao's petty revenge, Lin Tantan was listless the whole morning, as if all his energy had been sucked away. When he thought of Ye Xiao's gritted teeth words and how he had revealed the mysterious identity of the CP fan, he wanted to hold his head and bite his tongue, and he felt terrible.
But in the end she cheered up, put the two geese back on the mountain to graze, then took Xu Li to the clinic, called out the medical team, and held a meeting with them.
The medical team has moved into the compound. Now that they have new houses to live in, they are particularly energetic and full of joy. They all ask when the clinic in the compound will open.
Lin Tantan said that many people were injured while doing missions and working in the construction industry. Although there is a labor reformer named Shao Ping who is treating them, it is sometimes not enough. Therefore, the clinic in the compound should be opened. However, there is little demand there now, so two people can take turns to see patients there every day. Those who don’t have a turn can still come to work in the clinic outside, and the commission for treatment here will be higher than that for outsiders.
Everyone was very happy to hear this. They looked forward to starting work as soon as possible, but they were still reluctant to give up this job outside. After all, wood-type mutants could not go out on missions, and all their income came from treating people. Only with this extra income outside could they live a good life.
However, they also said that recently there are fewer people coming for treatment because of eating bad things. Mutated and supernatural animals and plants have been in people's diet for some time, and there are fewer cases of poisoning and overeating. Instead, the proportion of people injured while going out hunting and foraging is increasing, and it is easy for the injuries to be too serious, which makes everyone feel more difficult.
Lin Tan Tan thought that he had rested long enough and it was time to go back to work. However, the mercenary crisis was not over yet, and if he wanted to work, he would not come to this clinic outside.
She said that if she encountered a situation that could not be handled in the future, she should contact the clinic in the compound, and then contact her through them. As long as the situation was true and the person could be saved, she would take action. As for the time, she would do it every morning, because she had other things to do in the afternoon.
She was very busy. She had to release water, build a house on the hillside, raise geese, and also have to have her own free time. It was impossible for her to be on call all day unless it was an emergency.
With this arrangement, Mingze also made a schedule. Since only two people were needed to see patients, the clinic in the compound only needed three examination rooms, including Lin Tan's, and only three sets of tables and chairs. This was quite easy, and he just had to ask the logistics department for them.
After the clinic was set up, two wood-type psychics took up their posts. Soon, people who had sprained their ankles while doing construction work came to the clinic.
Of course, if possible, everyone would still prefer to go to Shao Ping who was in labor camp. After all, there was no payment for going to Shao Ping, and the difference between going to the clinic and the lack of contribution points was deducted. Contribution points were not easy to earn for pure laborers, even though the construction team had a greater discount on medical care at this stage.
After the clinic was ready, Lin Tan looked around and was very afraid of meeting Ye Xiao, so he hid in the water plant. Then he heard that she had put two barrels of "wine" yesterday.
"The smell of alcohol has gone after a night. Can this water still be used?" asked Old Man Huo.
Lin Tantan smiled dryly: "If it works, feel free to use it."
She didn't even know that the water she released would smell like alcohol after she got drunk. Is it the same for other water-based ability users?
When Old Man Huo heard her say that it was okay to use the water, he immediately opened the water valve. Because of the problem with the two buckets of water, the water plant stopped supplying water for the first time yesterday. Fortunately, it was the first day of moving in, and everyone knew that each household was using more water, so they were more understanding of the water outage.
Lin Tan Tan quickly released the water while listening to him talk about the problem of insufficient water.
It's not possible to have so many people relying on her to avoid a water supply cut-off. Even if the water supply is not cut off, the current rated daily water consumption for each person is too small. But recruiting water-related psychics from outside to sell water, or buying water directly from outside, is not very safe. After all, water is not like other things. If some black-hearted person does something to it, it will be a big disaster.
The brigade is also discussing this water issue. It is a top priority, so today a meeting was held with relevant personnel. The final conclusion is that a well should be dug in the compound. As for the well water, it will also have to go through a series of disinfection treatments after being pumped from the mountain. For those who still feel uncomfortable with it, it can only be used for domestic use and not for drinking water.
There was nothing we could do about it. Where did the groundwater come from? It was somewhat related to the river not far from the base. Even after it was treated, no one dared to drink the river water because it had been used by many people and drowned many zombies.
If the river water is like this, the well water may not be that clean either.
Some people are still quite uncomfortable with this. In fact, they not only have such concerns about river water and well water, but some people with deep thoughts also have the same concerns about the food grown in the ground.
After all, things that grow in the ground absorb water and nutrients from the ground. Things that grow in heavy metal ground can even eat bad people, and the ground where zombies have died is even more worrying.
When Lin Tantan finished releasing the water and was about to visit his homestead on the hillside, he passed by the planting area and saw the people from the planting team gathered in front of a row of work bungalows on the edge of the planting area and talking, with some sadness on their faces.
The planting area was set up very early, and Yang Xinyu, Old Man Chen and others started raising seedlings very early. At this time, some green vegetables have grown on the neatly cultivated fields in the planting area. The most common ones are green vegetables, and there are also fast-growing leafy crops such as cabbage. All the fast-growing ones can be harvested.
Lin Tan Tan went over to ask what they were talking about. The planting team leader, Yang Xinyu, lit up when she saw her, and then told her that they were worried that some people might be worried that the vegetables were inedible. After all, they used well water to irrigate the fields.
The water released by water-based mutants does not contain any minerals or anything like that. It is just pure water, purer than purified water. This kind of water is fine to use for drinking in the short term, but it is not suitable for farming.
After hearing her concerns, Lin Tantan said, "Why should you worry? If you don't dare to eat it, don't eat it. There are people scrambling to eat it. And those mutant plants that can be brought back from outside also grow in the soil. At least the land in our planting area can be guaranteed to be free of zombies, but it's not certain outside. And those mutant animals, who can be sure they haven't eaten something dirty? Don't everyone eat them with gusto?"
Yang Xinyu smiled when she heard it: "That's right."
Lin Tan Tan asked about their specific plans, mainly when they would plant rice. If they continued like this, people's staple food in the future would be various mutant beasts.
Yang Xinyu said that the weather is getting warmer, and their next plan is to plant potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, which are all suitable for this environment. As for rice, they will not consider it for the time being because this is dry land, not paddy fields.
Lin Tantan thought, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are also good things, not bad.
As for the paddy fields, she thought of the pool of water in the mountains. If she searched upstream along that patch, she might find some hidden pools of water or springs, and divert the spring water here... But she shook her head. The mountain couldn't dry out. The weather was getting hotter, and if it did, it would be a problem. Furthermore, the existence of this groundwater was somewhat related to the water source in the mountains. If the mountain was really drained, it would be detrimental to the entire environment.
Oh, forget it. Why should she think about these things? There are naturally people who should worry about such things, such as... ahem, Ye Xiao.
Thinking of Ye Xiao, she wanted to cover her face again, but as luck would have it, she turned around and really saw Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao approached from a distance, followed by a large group of people. They looked like they were from the construction team, and they were carrying all kinds of tools.
