Chapter 90



The so-called A-series missions, in contrast to the S-series missions, which represent rescue missions, are assassination missions. Since the beginning of the apocalypse, only sixteen have been issued in the five months since then, due to communication difficulties or lack of spare personnel. Each mission targets someone the leaders believe threatens human survival or will severely undermine national unity and stability in the future.

A man who escaped from prison and recruited a large group of similarly vicious criminals to wreak havoc on the region; a drug lord who built a massive empire with a network of people in coastal areas; the leader of an antisocial organization who planned numerous terrorist attacks before the apocalypse and, afterward, went on a rampage, swindling and killing survivors and attacking various bases; a cult leader who promoted all sorts of discordant ideologies and mastered cruel brainwashing methods...

Only those who have truly stirred up trouble and caused great harm can become the target of this A series mission. Now, Ye Xiao has the honor of becoming the seventeenth target.

To be honest, Han Ying was also shocked when he received this task. After the shock, he was heartbroken. It seemed that the higher-ups felt the same as him, thinking that Ye Xiao would be a great threat to the country in the future.

He had forgotten at this time that it was because he expressed too many personal subjective opinions when reporting to his superiors time and time again that this task was launched, and he made a great contribution.

As he spoke of his acceptance of the mission, his back seemed to hunch slightly. The female soldier beside him patted him on the back and consoled him, "Boss, you are selflessly doing this for the country."

Han Ying covered her face, sighed deeply, and said with a resolute look, "Before Uncle Ye died, I promised him that I would supervise Ye Xiao for the rest of my life. Now that he has gone astray, I have an obligation to correct him, even if it means killing him!... Call everyone over, and let's discuss our course of action."

At this time, the Zhengyang Brigade was dealing with people who came to inquire about supernatural weapons. Seeing that the news had been leaked, Ye Xiao simply announced that he had some clues about the research on supernatural weapons, but they could not be put into combat yet, so he would not say more.

Looking back, I'm trying to figure out where the leak came from. Many people know that this weapons development team is researching supernatural weapons, but the only ones who have achieved results are those within the team.

Ye Xiao asked Xu Qin to handle the matter himself. After a round of interrogation and screening, Xu Qin eliminated two people from the group and gave the remaining people a warning, making sure they kept their mouths shut.

The two people who leaked the information, along with their respective families, were eventually expelled from the Zhengyang Brigade.

The team members who were excited about the birth of supernatural weapons felt like they were poured with cold water. Ye Xiao even called the team leaders to a meeting and emphasized the importance of confidentiality, especially in key places like the weapons research team and the information technology team. Team members were absolutely not allowed to leak information that was required to be kept secret. If they found anything next time, it would not be as simple as being kicked out of the team.

The entire conference hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop after Ye Xiao spoke. After the meeting, each team leader gave their team members a lecture, and the atmosphere in the team immediately became serious.

Afterwards, Bai Cheng said to Ye Xiao, "We've been developing a bit too fast, and everyone's been a bit impetuous. We might as well use this incident to clean things up."

As he was speaking, Cheng Qinan came hurriedly, his face pale: "I have a premonition of something bad."

Ye Xiao immediately stood up: "What exactly is it?"

Cheng Qinan said: "It should be a tide of corpses, northwest direction."

"Northwest direction." Ye Xiao frowned, exchanged glances with Bai Cheng, and said at the same time, "Xiushan Base."

In mid-April, a small base called Yuecheng was destroyed by a tide of zombies more than 300 kilometers away from the Ning City base. At that time, the Ning City base was a little worried that the tide of zombies would come here, and they were prepared for defense, but in the end the tide of zombies did not come.

According to the survivors of the Laining City base, the tide of zombies should have gone to the northwest. In the deep mountains in that direction, there is a small base with hundreds of thousands of people, namely the Xiushan base.

Now a month and a half has passed, and a tide of zombies has appeared from that direction. There are only two possibilities. One is that the tide of zombies cannot take the Xiushan base and can only turn back. The other possibility is that the tide of zombies has swallowed up the Xiushan base and formed an even larger tide of zombies, and their next target is the Ningshi base.

Ye Xiao immediately called Lu Jianping and asked if he could contact the Xiushan base.

Each base has its own central signal tower, and if you are lucky, you can exchange some simple information through the satellites in the sky. The reason why you need to be lucky is that a lot of basic equipment on the ground has been destroyed, and long-distance communication is a luxury. Sometimes you have clearly been connected, but if the information transfer in the middle is destroyed by zombies or human beings, you have to rebuild it.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Jianping finally gave a reply. The Xiushan base was contacted, but it was indeed destroyed. Now there are only a few hundred survivors left in the base. The others are all dead, no, it should be said that they have turned into zombies, and most of them have left with the tide of zombies.

Bai Cheng immediately did the math: "When the zombie tide surrounded Yuecheng Base, there were about 500,000 people. Yuecheng Base has 350,000 people, and about a third of them have escaped. Taking into account the losses and the newly added zombies, the zombie tide is estimated to be 600,000. Xiushan Base has over 400,000 people, and almost all of them have been turned into zombies. That means the zombie tide has increased to 1 million. It's coming all the way to the southeast, absorbing some zombies along the way... By the time we get here, we conservatively estimate there will be 1.5 million zombies."

His brows were slightly furrowed, his expression stern. This was different from the zombie tidal wave that surrounded the city during the rainstorm in February. Although it was a zombie tidal wave then, it could actually be said to be coming in waves, and the number outside the base basically remained in the tens of thousands.

But if one and a half million people swarmed in at the same time, they could easily stack up over the wall.

The worst thing is that this zombie tide obviously has a leader. They first swallowed up two small bases before coming to the Ning City base. This is to accumulate strength. If they absorb more zombies along the way...

How many zombies are there scattered throughout Ning City? It's definitely a considerable number, but they have no organizers, so they won't unite to cause trouble for the base. After all, zombies have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. High-level zombies even have wisdom and won't easily provoke those they can't afford to offend.

But when a huge wave of zombies arrives, who can be sure that other zombies will not join in?

Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes. He couldn't let the tide of zombies reach the base. He had to disperse them before they arrived.

Jiang Xiaotian, who was sitting in front of his computer, stopped typing frantically and said, "I got the satellite image. Now I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that at the current rate, the zombie tide will arrive in two days. The good news is that they haven't crossed the river yet."

Xiushan and Ningshi are in the same province, but there is a river between them with several bridges across it. If these bridges are destroyed, crossing the river will become difficult and the detour will have to go around an area as large as a city.

"But we have to hurry." Jiang Xiaotian added, "They are almost at the riverside."

Ye Xiao contacted Lu Jianping again and asked, "Chief Lu, is there still a fighter plane in the base?"

A moment later, in the core military camp of the base, Lv Jianping and Ye Xiao looked at a flat-body silver fighter jet in front of them. Lv Jianping said in a heavy tone, "When the apocalypse first broke out, our security zone dispatched all fighter jets to protect the survivors entering the base. Unexpectedly, we ran into a flock of zombie birds. Caught off guard, almost all the fighter jets were sacrificed, leaving only this one. Later, it carried out a number of missions, and all the missiles that could be equipped on it were used up. Only one anti-tank missile and two conventional anti-tank missiles remained."

Lu Jianping said to Ye Xiao, "You can take it now. Be careful of the dangers in the air. However, there are only three rounds of ammunition left, and there are four bridges. I will send another helicopter to assist you."

Before Ye Xiao could speak, a voice rang out from a distance: "Lao Lu, I just received an order to assist the Ning City base in blowing up the bridge."

The two turned around and saw that it was Han Ying and his group. Han Ying glanced at Ye Xiao, smiled apologetically, and showed Lu Jianping an electronic document. The main idea of the document was to let Han Ying fly the fighter jet from Ning City Base to blow up the bridge. The stamp was the signature of the current commander.

Lu Jianping was immediately annoyed and said coldly, "We have our own pilots at our base."

Han Ying glanced at a man in his thirties beside him. The man stepped forward, saluted, and said in a loud voice, "Deputy Captain of the Second Flight Squadron of the Air Force XX Unit, Guo Tao!"

Han Ying showed Guo Tao's ID and said, "Guo Tao has served for fifteen years and is an extremely outstanding pilot. He is the most professional."

He looked at Lu Jianping. There was no pilot with more experience than Guo Tao in the Ning City Garrison before, and there certainly was none now.

He then said to Ye Xiao sincerely, "Ye Xiao, I know you are an all-round talent, but this crucial matter should be left to the most professional people. After all, threats from the air may appear at any time, and only the most professional people can make the most perfect response."

Ye Xiao looked at him for a moment, then said to Lu Jianping, "Time is running out. There's no point in arguing about this kind of thing. Leave the fourth bridge to me."

Lu Jianping also agreed: "Okay, that's it, you guys should set off quickly."

The fighter jets immediately took off through the runway reserved in the military camp, but the military helicopter flew to the Zhengyang Brigade first. Xu Qin, who had already received the news, prepared the bomb he had made earlier and put it on the helicopter.

The helicopter took off again and headed northwest.

Ye Xiao checked the four bombs Xu Qin had placed, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked towards the corner of the cabin and said in a lost voice, "Talk? Why are you here?!"

Lin Tan Tan tried her best to shrink herself into a ball, and even put ropes and other things in front of herself to block herself, but she was still discovered. She smiled and said, "Just now, I came up when you were holding the bomb."

Ye Xiao found that he was completely unaware: "What are you doing here?"

Lin Tan Tan touched his nose and said, "Well, it's a rare opportunity to ride a helicopter, so I just wanted to experience it."

Under Ye Xiao's serious gaze, she lowered her voice: "Okay, I'm worried that in case you encounter a zombie bird, I can buy you insurance!"

Ye Xiao's chest heaved. He wanted to tell her to get off. They had already flown out of the base. Going back now would only waste time. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said unhappily, "Come here. Why are you still hiding there?"

Lin Tan Tan looked at his expression and came over with a smile. Ye Xiao brushed off the dust on her body and rubbed her head: "You!"

Lin Tan Tan knew that he agreed. To be honest, she had already come up and the helicopter had taken off. He had no choice but to agree. She chuckled and took out the communicator to inform Xu Li who she had left behind. He had just been sent away by her and should have noticed that she was missing.

Xu Li was indeed looking for her. He was relieved when he knew she had left with Ye Xiao. Lin Tantan felt a little strange and sorry for him. After she finished talking to him, she leaned on the hatch and looked outside. The ground became farther and farther away. She asked, "When can we arrive?"

"This helicopter has a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour, so it will arrive in half an hour."

"Oh." Lin Tan nodded, then looked at the pilot in front of him and asked Ye Xiao in a low voice, "Who is he?"

Ye Xiao replied: "It was the pilot sent by Lu Jianping."

“Why don’t we let our own people run it?”

Ye Xiao also answered her in a low voice: "I originally thought I was flying the fighter plane by myself and didn't bring anyone else with me. Lv Jianping also arranged a helicopter to help blow up the fourth bridge. Later, the fighter plane was driven away by Han Ying's people, so I changed to a helicopter. Since I already had a pilot, there was no need to change people specifically."

Otherwise it would seem that he particularly distrusts Lu Jianping.

Flying in the air is very risky now, so Ye Xiao didn't let anyone else follow. One less person means one less risk. But she followed anyway.

He looked helplessly at the little girl beside him who was looking here and touching there, looking very curious.

Lin Tantan suddenly climbed onto the window again: "Bird!"

Ye Xiao looked and saw several large black birds flying towards the helicopter. They had extremely wide wings, sharp beaks and claws, red eyes, and marks of sores on their bodies. They were zombie birds!

Seeing the other party flying straight towards them, Ye Xiao asked Lin Tan to step back, opened the cabin door, and released several wind blades to shoot down the zombie bird.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any other birds after that, let alone a flock of birds. Ten minutes later, we suddenly heard a huge explosion coming from the front. Ye Xiao said, "It must be a fighter plane bombing the bridge."

When they finally saw the winding yellow river, they saw a fighter jet dropping something onto a collapsed bridge. Then there was another loud bang, and the bridge was blown into two sections, and countless splashes of water appeared on the river surface under the bridge.

There are two bridges left.

Ye Xiao's target was the one in the south. Lin Tan looked closely and found that the group of zombies had already appeared at the opposite end of the bridge, swarming towards this side like a pile of gray ants.

She frowned but said nothing. Ye Xiao also looked down without saying anything. When the helicopter flew over the bridge, Ye Xiao, carrying four bombs, threw down the rope, turned around and said to Lin Tan, "Don't worry, I'll be up soon." Then he grabbed the rope and landed with one hand, and his other free hand continuously released wind blades, knocking down the zombies that ran to the front one by one.

Bang! Ye Xiao landed on the bridge, then quickly ran to the railing, flipped over, and disappeared under the bridge in the blink of an eye.

Lin Tan Tan clenched her fists and looked down anxiously. A gust of wind blew, and the helicopter shook. She almost fell out of the cabin door. The pilot quickly reminded her: "Don't get too close to the door. The wind is too strong and I can't hover." As he said that, he started the helicopter and circled above and in front.

Lin Tantan felt dizzy from the circling. A fighter plane flew over from the last bridge that had not been blown up a few thousand meters away. Lin Tantan took a look and then looked away, continuing to look down intently. Seeing zombies running towards him continuously, he released some golden blades to knock them down.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and looked up. She saw a humanoid creature squatting on a building opposite. Lin Tan quickly poked the hamster in her pocket and said, "Give me a telescope, quickly."

The little hamster obediently stuck its head out to look through the telescope. Lin Tantan picked up the telescope and looked. The humanoid creature in the lens suddenly became very clear. It was pale and gray in color, so skinny that it looked like a layer of skin covering a skeleton, and its clothes were tattered, like a sack cut out from a garbage dump.

Lin Tan was slightly startled: "Zombies!"

When she looked at the other person, the other person seemed to have noticed it and looked over. In Lin Tantan's eyes, it was him who suddenly turned his head towards her, and his two pale eyes looked at her through the lenses.

"!" Lin Tantan's heart skipped a beat and his breathing tightened. He almost dropped the telescope. The look in this zombie's eyes was too creepy! What kind of zombie was this?

Suddenly, the zombie raised its head and screamed, and the zombie group seemed to have heard a horn and crossed the bridge much faster.

Lin Tan was startled and shouted, "Ye Xiao, the zombie swarm is speeding up!"

Finally, Ye Xiao emerged on the other side of the bridge, turned over and returned to the bridge. The bomb on his back was gone, and the group of zombies was only a few feet away from him. He quickly released a row of whirlwinds, and the zombies were swept up and fell into the river below in large numbers. Ye Xiao ran to this shore while waving to the helicopter. The helicopter flew towards him. Suddenly, Ye Xiao stopped abruptly and looked somewhere suddenly.

Lin Tantan was surprised for a moment, and then he heard an indescribable sound, loud and sharp, as if the air was torn apart, and as if a huge invisible wave was set off, with a terrifying roar. Lin Tantan felt his ears suddenly buzzing, and then he could not hear anything. He only saw a shadow rushing towards where Ye Xiao was, and in an instant that place exploded.

The bridge, the bridge deck, the zombies on the bridge, and the huge and terrifying splashes of water were all lifted into the sky. At the same time, the helicopter was blown away by the huge air wave, and Lin Tantan was thrown out directly. His whole body was turned upside down, and because of extreme fear, he was completely unable to react. The next moment, he fell heavily to the ground, and his internal organs seemed to be shattered.

Lin Tantan's mind was completely blank, and her consciousness was completely cut off. After a few seconds or minutes, she gradually woke up. Her brain was shaking, and the picture in front of her was completely double, shaking, and tilted, filled with all kinds of strange colors.

She covered her head with difficulty, her ears were filled with rumbling sounds, her hands were wet and red, she didn't know where the blood came from.

Lin Tantan blinked hard, recalling the scene she had just seen: the place where Ye Xiao was standing was completely blown to pieces! She was horrified again and struggled to get up.

Then, as if her hands and feet were completely out of control, she raised her head and looked at the ruined bridge in the distance, then raised her head and stared at the fighter plane in the sky.

In the fighter plane, which was a two-person fighter plane that could accommodate two people, Han Ying, sitting in the back, looked at the completely destroyed bridge and the bodies floating in the churning river. He slowly took off his helmet and muttered, "Mission accomplished."

Guo Tao, who was sitting in the front and flying the fighter plane, asked, "Should we return?"

Han Ying sighed: "Let's go back. Wait, the last bridge hasn't been blown up yet?"

Guo Tao frowned: "The bombs have been used up, there is no ammunition left."

Han Ying's expression froze. Yeah, two bombs had blown up two bridges, and the second bomb had been used on Ye Xiao. They were out of ammunition.

He originally didn't want to waste such a powerful weapon on Ye Xiao. He came out to wait for an opportunity, but the opportunity just now was too rare. Ye Xiao was not so easy to kill. Using normal means, so many of them might not be able to kill him even if they worked together. And if they used artillery shells, there might not be a more perfect opportunity than just now.

So in a moment of excitement...

He frowned and looked at the last bridge. The group of zombies had already crossed the bridge and reached this side.

He narrowed his eyes and sighed: "There's nothing we can do, let's go."

The Ning City base might not be able to hold on any longer, he thought with a heavy heart. There was nothing they could do with just a few people, and the mission had been completed. It was time to leave.

However, he didn't expect that the fighter plane could not leave.

Lin Tantan stood up from the ground, swayed slightly, and blood dripped from his forehead like water. His whole body was covered in blood. Because of these wounds, the wood energy in his body was running spontaneously and automatically, causing these wounds to gradually heal on their own.

But she could feel nothing, no pain, no wound healing. All she could see was the fighter plane, watching it turn around and prepare to leave.

She sneered, and this smile was particularly creepy. With her head covered in blood, she looked like a ghost crawling out of the ground.

On the fighter plane, Han Ying suddenly saw this scene and subconsciously felt a chill in his heart. He said to Guo Tao, "Let's go!"

When he saw Lin Tantan's smile, he felt frightened and a little nervous, as if something was about to happen.

How come she didn't die? He clearly saw her fall from the plane, from such a high altitude...

No, we have to leave Ning City immediately, otherwise... Thinking of Bai Cheng and the others who are still in the base, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he said hurriedly: "We won't go back. We will wait outside the base and let them come out. We will leave in one round..."

Before he could finish his words, his vision was covered by green.

Lin Tantan watched the fighter plane fly away, and suddenly raised his hand. Countless green ribbons emerged from his palm, and these ribbons rushed towards the sky, gradually becoming thicker and wider. Then they bound the fighter plane. The nose, wings, fuselage, and tail were all wrapped in wide and thick green cloth strips. The fighter plane that was accelerating suddenly stopped.

In the fighter plane, Han Ying shouted frantically: "What's going on? What happened?"

However, Guo Tao was unable to answer him. The next moment, he felt a huge pulling force. The two of them were pushed forward and upward due to inertia. Han Ying, who had taken off his helmet, hit the upper cover hard. With a bang, he almost fainted and felt that his head was about to shatter.

However, the fighter plane was being pulled back faster and faster.

After Lin Tantan entangled the fighter plane, he used all his strength, just like pulling a disobedient kite, and suddenly pulled it back, drawing a large and beautiful arc, and dropped the fighter plane heavily on the bridge that had not yet been blown up.

Bang! The fighter plane exploded, breaking the bridge. Zombies on both sides of the broken edge fell into the river like dumplings.

All the "cloth strips" turned into energy and disappeared. Lin Tan fell to her knees on the ground with a feeling of emptiness. Then the anger that almost made her explode faded away. She regained her sanity and staggered to the riverside. The river water was turbid. Because of the successive explosions, the already fast-flowing water seemed to become even faster.

The dead zombies floated to the surface, and the "living" zombies struggled comically in the water. Ye Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Tantan was heartbroken and started coughing violently, coughing up blood foam.

She was extremely panicked but also extremely calm. As she walked down the embankment, she took out her communicator and called Bai Cheng. Without waiting for the other party to speak, she quickly and concisely recounted the whole situation. Then she said, "I'm going to find Ye Xiao. You guys search along the river. Also, don't let any of Han Ying's accomplices go. Let them all die."

She said the word "death" calmly, with no expression on her face. Then she hung up the communicator without waiting for Bai Cheng to react. She just happened to walk to the riverside and stepped into the water. Looking at the turbid yellow water in front of her, she raised her hand and released a huge water ball. The water ball gradually expanded and turned into a huge water film, covering Lin Tantan completely. She leaned forward against the water film and dived into the river.

At the same time, in the base, Bai Cheng picked up the phone. When he heard the first sentence Lin Tantan said, he was so shocked that he stood up suddenly. When Lin Tantan finished speaking, he even forgot to react because there was a busy tone on the other end. He couldn't get through when he called again.

This is a new generation communicator that the information technology team has just developed. It has very powerful functions and can connect within 200 kilometers. It is impossible for it not to be connected. Thinking of Lin Tantan saying that he was going to find Ye Xiao, he was shocked and called other people as quickly as possible. These other people were members of their team, and there was no outsider.

As soon as someone arrived, he said, "Han Ying took advantage of Xiao's unpreparedness and fired at him, destroying both him and the bridge. Now his whereabouts are unknown..."

Before he could finish, Mei Bosheng started yelling, "What do you mean the bridge and the people were blown up? Are you still alive?"

"I don't know." Bai Cheng said, "Tan Tan should have gone into the water to look for him. I'll take people to the riverside right now. You guys..."

"I'm going too!" "I'm going too!" everyone said in unison.

Bai Cheng said calmly, "I know you're all very anxious, but we can't leave this place unattended. I believe Xiao isn't likely to get into trouble. If he's injured, he'll need a safe place to recover. If he... then we need even more strength to investigate this and avenge him. No matter what, our base cannot afford to be lost."

His expression was quite calm, but his eyes were bloodshot. "Listen to me, Lao Xu, you stay here and calm the people down. Da Zhong Meimei, take your men and arrest Han Ying's men. Bring more people with you. If Lu Jianping tries to stop us, Meimei, hold him down!"

Mei Bosheng also wanted to go out, but he nodded heavily after hearing this.

Bai Cheng continued, "Let me investigate carefully what those people are planning!" He then said, "Qinan, come with me and sense their location. Xiaotian, didn't you make some large-scale life detector? Take it with you, Xu Li..."

Without waiting for him to speak, Xu Li said, "I'll go too. It's my duty to join in the conversation." In just a short while, he failed to keep an eye on the person. It was his dereliction of duty.

Bai Cheng nodded: "Bring all those pets with you. They might be better at finding people than us humans."

After making the arrangements, Bai Cheng selected some absolutely trustworthy people, and the group left the base.

So many people cannot fly, and there are no planes for them. It is difficult to reach the destination in a short time, a distance of 200 kilometers.

Everyone felt heavy in their hearts and was a little flustered. It was because their captain was in trouble this time. Although Bai Cheng was the one in charge, Ye Xiao was the backbone of the entire team and the Zhengyang Brigade. When something happened to him, no one could help but panic.

But Lin Tan went into the water. Because she was protected by a water film and separated from the river water, she floated on the water for a while because the water film was full of air. She tried hard to sink and expel some of the air before she sank into the water smoothly.

Then she took out a high-power flashlight from the hamster's space, turned it on, and while urging the water in front of her to move away so that she could move forward, she searched everywhere with the flashlight.

The river water was very turbid, filled with mud and all kinds of messy floating objects. The area near the surface was okay, and it was clear with sunlight, but it became very dark two or three meters below, and it was almost impossible to see anything further down.

Lin Tan swam towards the bombed area. It was a bit difficult because she was swimming against the current. There were countless broken limbs, even half a body, long rotten intestines, or half a head floating in the water. They were all zombies. They kept drifting along the current and passed by her. When they were illuminated by the flashlight in the dark and turbid water, they looked extremely miserable and terrifying.

There were still active zombies, struggling in the water without any emotions and just by instinct, and the more they struggled, the deeper they sank.

Zombies don't need to breathe, so even if they've been submerged in water for a long time, they're still alive and well, but they simply can't move effectively.

Lin Tantan stood in the space supported by the water film. The blood on his body kept flowing down and seeping into the surrounding water film. Some strands of blood floated into the river. The zombies seemed to smell the blood and began to pounce on Lin Tantan.

But Lin Tantan's water membrane was no pushover, and could not be broken by ordinary force. She had no intention of dealing with these zombies at all, and just kept moving forward, constantly shouting: "Ye Xiao! Ye Xiao!"

The sound waves traveled through the air around her and quickly spread in all directions through the river water, but received no response, and the river water showed no change. Lin Tantan finally reached the bottom of the broken bridge, even sinking into the dark water. With a flashlight, she could see the broken bridge, but Ye Xiao was nowhere to be found.

She searched carefully at the bottom of the water, then floated up, surfaced, opened the water film and took a breath of fresh air. She looked around but couldn't see anyone anywhere.

She was distraught, her face pale with anxiety and hurt, and her eyes frighteningly red.

After searching around and not finding anyone, she sank down again. After repeating this several times, she was finally sure that there was no one here. Fortunately, she did not find Ye Xiao's broken limbs.

Lin Tan Tan gritted his teeth and told himself to stay calm. Although, although the shell was aimed directly at Ye Xiao, it was impossible for it to blow him to pieces. Moreover, Ye Xiao's superpowers were at full capacity at the time. Even if the incident happened suddenly, it was impossible for him to stand there and be bombarded by the other party. He would definitely find a way to protect himself, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be blown to pieces.

He is still alive, he must be alive!

She felt the current pushing her downstream, and her eyes lit up. Yes, if he was seriously injured and unable to save himself, he would naturally have to drift with the current. She immediately went downstream to look for him.

Ten minutes later, she arrived at the second bridge, the one where the fighter plane crashed. Looking at the wreckage of the fighter plane in the water, her eyes were cold. She walked around the struggling zombies in the water and continued forward.

After more than ten minutes, she came to the third bridge, which had been blown up, but she still didn't find Ye Xiao.

She was exhausted. Maintaining the water film and moving forward in the water consumed a huge amount of energy. She was surrounded by zombies from time to time. She could only thicken the water film. When she couldn't thicken it any further, she could only release the golden blade to kill the opponent, but it would puncture the water film at the same time, so she had to release a new water film again.

After struggling like this for more than half an hour, her water energy was finally exhausted. The water film became smaller and thinner. She could only take out the crystal core to absorb it, and finally couldn't help wiping away her tears.

"Ye Xiao, wuwu, Ye Xiao, where are you, Ye Xiao..." She was searching in the water, surfacing from time to time. The river water was so dark, the river surface was so wide, and the river area was so vast. It was really difficult to find someone.

She sank back into the water and swam for a while before suddenly spotting a dark figure in the water ahead. It looked like a person, with long arms and legs, and it looked remarkably familiar. The most amazing thing was that tiny bubbles were constantly bubbling around the figure, supporting it and allowing it to drift smoothly without sinking.

Lin Tan's heart was beating very fast: "Ye, Ye Xiao!!"

She swam quickly towards him.

There was a zombie following behind Ye Xiao. It seemed to want to stretch out its claws towards Ye Xiao, but it was always scared back by the bubbles around him.

Lin Tantan was furious. He pierced the zombie's head with a golden blade, kicked it away, then pounced over and hugged Ye Xiao, carrying him up.

Wow! The two of them emerged from the water, both dripping wet. Lin Tan immediately checked Ye Xiao's condition and confirmed that he was just unconscious. He was still alive, with a heartbeat and breathing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around, they were now in the middle of the river, a long distance away from both banks. There was a small stone boat diagonally in front of them. She immediately swam over with Ye Xiao, let him lie on the edge, then she climbed up and carried him up.

Normally, this wouldn't take much effort on her part. Her body was originally very weak, but as her abilities grew, her strength naturally increased. However, she was now exhausted and didn't have much strength left. After finally carrying the person onto the boat, she quickly slapped Ye Xiao's face: "Ye Xiao! Ye Xiao!"

Then she transferred wood energy into him and continued to call him. After a long time of doing this, Ye Xiao finally woke up and looked at her with a pair of unfocused eyes.

"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake." Lin Tantan cried with joy, then burst into tears and hugged the person tightly: "I almost lost you. The water was so dark, I almost lost you in it."
