Ye Xiao looked down and saw Lin Tantan's movements. He also saw the dazed expression on her face. His eyes darkened. He hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear, "Did you see that?"
Lin Tan Tan: “What?”
"When the zombie's head flew down just now, I noticed that your expression was not right. It seemed to be facing you directly. You saw its eyes, right?"
Lin Tantan held the warm little hamster in his hand, was silent for a while, and nodded: "Yeah."
Ye Xiao held her shoulders with a little more force, but his tone sounded relaxed: "It's okay, weren't your symptoms milder than theirs before?"
Lin Tan Tan nodded, but she still felt a little heavy in her heart. She thought that the reason her symptoms were mild was because the distance between them was too far. The distance between her and those eyes just now was no more than ten meters.
She exhaled and laughed: "That zombie is already dead. I don't believe I can be entangled to death by a dead zombie. Oh, it left this for you."
She gave Ye Xiao the wind crystal core that looked magnificent even in the darkness. Ye Xiao took it. It was hard to imagine that the zombies were so ugly, but the crystal core in their minds was so beautiful.
Lin Tan Tan whispered again, "That zombie should be a dual-type zombie. One power is wind-type, and the other power is the power that gives people nightmares. I thought the second power would be stronger, but looking at its crystal core, its main power is still wind-type."
After thinking for a while, he said, "So many zombies died, and we didn't even get to pick up the crystal cores. It's such a pity. When the zombie tide is over, scavenging will definitely be a very popular profession. Then I will come out and look for zombie corpses to dig out crystal cores."
The crystal cores in the zombies' brains would not disappear even if they were not taken away immediately after they "died", but if they did not pick them up, they would be given to others and possibly to mutant plants and animals, which would be equivalent to creating enemies for humans. Lin Tantan felt a little pain when he thought of the hundreds of thousands of zombies that died in the two seas of fire during the day.
Knowing that she was trying to change the subject, Ye Xiao smiled and said cooperatively: "Don't you have enough crystal cores?"
"Then I can't always ask you and Bai Cheng for help. I use the crystal core very quickly."
The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was necessary to pick up this wasteland. When the time comes, I will send all the little guys under my control out to help dig.
Ye Xiao stroked her hair: "Then you have to take this little guy with you, otherwise it may not fit." He poked the sleeping hamster, "How much space does it have?"
"It's gotten a bit bigger recently. It's two cubes now, right?"
The two of them talked in a low voice, and many other people were also talking in low voices. Many people were not asleep, especially those who were infected. They didn't dare to sleep at all and relied on chatting to divert their attention and drive away sleepiness and panic.
But as the night deepened, the supermarket fell silent. Lin Tantan's head began to nod, and Ye Xiao felt distressed: "Why don't you take a nap?"
Lin Tantan immediately woke up, shook his head, rubbed his eyes, looked at a figure in the dark, and said in a hoarse voice: "What time is it?"
"A quarter past midnight."
Lin Tan Tan said "oh" weakly. After a long while, only half of the night had passed, but it felt like a long time had passed.
She stretched her legs and moved her shoulders, feeling a little tired. It was really hard to sit there like this. She looked into the darkness and said listlessly, "I don't want to sleep."
Ye Xiao frowned: "I can't stay awake all the time." She hasn't had a good rest recently and she has been busy just now.
Lin Tantan said, "Maybe I'm not tired enough. If I'm tired, I'll sleep." She yawned, "Oh, so boring."
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment, then pulled her up: "Come with me."
Lin Tan Tan followed him curiously, and the two of them quietly left through the back door of the supermarket. The supermarket was on the third floor of a shopping mall. There was a staircase not far from the back door. Ye Xiao turned on the flashlight and took her up the stairs.
The corridor was covered in bloodstains, all of which were very old bloodstains. The smell had faded away, but it was still a bit scary to look at. There was also a lot of garbage on the ground.
Arriving at the rooftop, Lin Tantan felt much more energetic after being blown by the night wind. He looked up at the sky. The moon was already tilted, but the moonlight was still bright. In the dark night sky, the dark clouds had dispersed at some point, and the stars were exceptionally bright and twinkling.
From afar, one could hear the faint roars of zombies, or the occasional explosion or two accompanied by flashes of fire; that must be the zombies stepping into a trap.
Lin Tan Tan: "Why are we here?"
Ye Xiao said: "When I couldn't sleep or calm down before, I would come out to train. After training, I felt tired and could sleep. I don't know if this will work for you."
Lin Tan Tan was immediately eager to try: "What training?" Is it some kind of super powerful and passionate military boxing or something
Ye Xiao smiled.
A moment later, Lin Tan Tan stepped on a piece of earth and lay on the edge of the rooftop. There was a long sniper rifle on it. She put her hand on it, turned on the night vision goggles, and aimed at the zombies on the street.
The zombie was imprisoned by Ye Xiao using his supernatural powers. The zombie who came out for a walk in the middle of the night was turned into a static target.
But even a static target is not so easy to hit.
Lin Tantan put his finger on the trigger and pulled it lightly. With a "pop", there was a slight sound of a bullet being fired from the gun. From over a hundred meters away, the bullet hit the zombie two or three meters away.
She frowned, her right shoulder slightly numb from the recoil of the gun. She aimed again and fired again. This time the bullet flew over the zombie's head and hit the ground.
Ye Xiao said: "Don't worry, take your time, adjust your breathing, and don't be distracted."
Lin Tan Tan calmed down, aimed longer this time, and finally hit... the zombie's stomach.
Well, this is also progress.
Then a shot in the shoulder, and finally a shot in the head.
She wiped the sweat from her head and said, "Really? I can aim very accurately with my superpowers, but with a gun..." She looked at the black and domineering heavy sniper rifle and shook her head. She couldn't control this thing well.
Ye Xiao asked: "Are you coming again?"
"Come!"
Then Ye Xiao picked a new zombie. This time the distance was a bit far, and Lin Tantan still had to fire several shots before he hit it.
The next one was even further away.
Anyway, all the zombies within sight on the rooftop were affected, and of course the bullets were also affected. Bullets are very precious things nowadays, and only the rich can afford to waste them like this.
This shooting training lasted for more than two hours, until all the nearby zombies were killed and no new zombies appeared for a while. Lin Tantan stopped shooting, and then she found that her whole body was sore and her head was dizzy. This was the reaction after her mental strength was highly concentrated. She yawned continuously, and felt even more sleepy after the alertness passed.
She was so sleepy that she forgot all her resistance to sleep and just wanted a bed to lie down on.
Ye Xiao was very considerate and picked her up. Instead of going down to the supermarket, he found a clean place to sit down, let her sit on him, and let the little hamster spit out a blanket to wrap her up.
"Go to sleep, I'm here." He said softly. Lin Tan rubbed his shoulder, hummed softly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a few seconds.
The little hamster, who had been woken up several times, looked here and there, crawled into the blanket, found a comfortable place for himself, and continued to sleep.
Ye Xiao glanced at his watch, memorized the time, and then watched her embarrass herself. Five minutes, ten minutes, no response, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, and she was also peaceful. Ye Xiao gradually felt relieved.
Just when he was relieved, Lin Tantan's cerebral cortex gradually began to become active. About half an hour's rest made all the neurons refreshed, and they had the energy to start playing naughty again.
Lin Tantan opened her eyes in a daze, and it was pitch black all around. She was dazed for a long time, and felt a cold stream of water rushing past her. She also felt a clear sense of suspension, as if she was in the water, and there were swollen and rotten corpses passing by her eyes. She gradually realized, ah, she was in the water.
In the river!
In the river where Ye Xiao fell!
She began to paddle hard, but the river water was like sticky paste, making her movements difficult. Even if she used all her strength, she could only swim a short distance.
She began to panic and get anxious. She was filled with fear and looked around, but she could not see anything except three or two horrifying corpses.
She shouted silently and exerted more strength. The river water suddenly became able to flow. It was no longer a paste, but became a real stream. She paddled hard, but she couldn't swim. Oh, right, she used her superpowers... Hey, what are superpowers? Oh, superpowers are the energy in her body.
She tried her best to mobilize her special powers, and after a long struggle, she was finally able to swim smoothly. She left her original position and moved forward quickly like a fish. She left those terrible corpses behind her and looked for Ye Xiao. However, she only saw darkness, nothing, no one anywhere, only endless darkness and suffocation, as if she was the only one left in the world.
She cried in confusion and fear.
She stopped crying and tried to float upwards. She didn't know how long she floated before she finally surfaced. However, she only saw a dark and distorted sky. The river was so vast that there was no end in sight. It was exactly the same in any direction, and she still couldn't find anything.
She cried even more fearfully. She called Ye Xiao's name, but there was no response. She dived into the water again. Everything was dark. There was nothing, nothing, nothing!
Ye Xiao felt the person in his arms stiffen up, struggling with her hands and feet, her face tightly wrinkled, her expression sad and painful, and she even cried softly. He looked at the time, it was only thirty-two minutes, he called her name: "Tan Tan, wake up! Tan Tan!"
Lin Tantan suddenly heard Ye Xiao's voice in the darkness. It was him, he was calling her!
She became excited, and her mind became clear for a moment. Yes, she was dreaming, and she just needed to wake up! She floated upwards again, and the sound was getting closer and clearer. She laughed, but when she surfaced, the whole scene changed again.
It was no longer the dark sky, no longer the boundless water. In front of her was a huge screen, on which was playing a picture. She saw a man standing in the tide of corpses, smiling and closing his eyes, and then his whole body exploded. She stared blankly, and suddenly burst into tears. The nurse next to her hurriedly wiped her face: "Hey, Doctor Lin, don't cry, it's all fake, it's a movie, it's made by people."
She held the tissue tightly, feeling very upset. "But this has happened in history. I... No, I have to go find him! No, I should be right next to him! Why am I back again?"
She looked at the place where she was in disbelief. A screening room in a hospital? How could she be here? Wasn't she dead? She wanted to run out to find someone, but she couldn't feel her legs. She saw a wheelchair next to her. Yes, she couldn't stand up!
Her legs were well-developed and looked healthy, but she just couldn't feel the existence of her legs, nor could she control them. Even if she managed to guide the earth-type ability to her legs, she still couldn't stand up. She knew that people with multiple abilities would have problems of one kind or another, and she had let it go and stopped struggling. But at this moment, she hated her disability so much because she couldn't stand up to find Ye Xiao!
She moved herself to a wheelchair and pushed it out. People were coming and going in the hospital. Everyone smiled and called her "Doctor Lin" when they saw her. She grabbed them anxiously and asked, "Where is Ye Xiao? Where is Ye Xiao?"
They tilted their heads, looking puzzled: "Who is Ye Xiao?"
"Ah, Ye Xiao, you're that famous person in history, right? Can I find you a biography of him?"
“There are a lot of novels.”
"Movies, do you want to watch a movie? There's a new one made recently."
They were talking at once, but Lin Tan Tan just kept shaking his head.
No, no, no, I don’t want to watch the movie or read the novel. I just want to see him in person, I want to feel him alive, stay by his side, and touch him anytime!
She pushed her wheelchair everywhere and saw so many people, but none of them was the person she was looking for.
"Get out of my way, everyone!" she screamed, and then everyone disappeared, leaving only her and an empty hospital. She suddenly became even more panicked. She looked everywhere, pushing her wheelchair around, but found nothing. She was even trapped in the hospital and couldn't find the exit.
She suddenly looked up and saw the huge electronic clock on the wall with 2331 written on it. She froze.
Yes, this is the year 2331, three hundred years later, and he was three hundred years ago. There are more than three hundred years between them. She began to tremble all over, and her heart felt a huge tearing pain. The supernatural powers in her body began to riot uncontrollably. She suddenly had a splitting headache and her body began to spasm.
Ye Xiao discovered that after he called Tan Tan's name, her expression relaxed and she stopped crying. Although she didn't wake up, she looked calm. He breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after, she continued to struggle, as if she was very anxious, and finally her body began to spasm.
He was startled and continued to call her, but this time it was no use. The little hamster crawled out from the blanket, crawling around on the two of them in confusion and anxiety, squeaking.
Ye Xiao shouted to it: "Water, give me water!"
The little hamster quickly spit out several bottles of water, and Ye Xiao unscrewed the bottle and poured it on Lin Tantan's face.
In the hospital, Lin Tantan's body was convulsing. She felt the same pain as when she had just learned and practiced her supernatural powers. It was as if a knife was cutting inside her body, and she was so painful that she couldn't scream. Her body seemed to be stiff and she couldn't move at all.
She fell down from the wheelchair and cried out in pain: "Teacher, teacher, I feel so uncomfortable, I can't hold on any longer."
A gentle and loving female voice sounded: "Tan Tan, do you want to live? If you want to live, you have to hold on. Think about your parents. They are very worried about you."
Lin Tan Tan still shook his head and said, I can’t do it, I can’t do it.
In the severe pain, her mind gradually collapsed. The woman's voice became tense and stern: "Tan Tan, don't sleep. You won't wake up if you fall asleep! Tan Tan, you have to learn to control the energy in your body. Tan Tan, cheer up and don't give up!"
Lin Tantan gradually fell into coma, and at this moment, a basin of water was suddenly poured on her face.
Ye Xiao poured the entire bottle of water onto Lin Tantan's face. Her body shook, then went limp. She still didn't wake up, and his expression became more solemn.
In the dream, Lin Tantan suddenly sat up from the water, gasping for air. She looked at everything in front of her in surprise. This was her exclusive ward, and she was lying in a nutrition tank, connected to the advanced version of the game. The water on her face was the nutrient solution. She was familiar with all this, but why was she here? Eh? Shouldn't she be here? Oh, where was she and what was she doing the last moment
My mind was blank, I couldn't remember anything, and my parents and younger brother all came over to me: "Tan Tan, you're awake!" "Sister, you're finally awake!"
They were extremely surprised.
Lin Tan looked at them in surprise: "What's wrong with me?"
Mother Lin wiped away her tears, and Father Lin said solemnly and happily: "You, your supernatural power collapsed. The dean said that you may not live long. We know that you have unfulfilled wishes and want to see your idol, so we applied to the country to design a full-system experience game for you. How about it, did you meet Ye Xiao? Did you have fun?"
Lin Tantan was stunned, and then his face turned pale little by little: "Holographic, experience... game?"
Father Lin said, "Yeah, don't you like Ye Xiao the most? The dean said that if you are lucky, you may still be able to recover under the stimulation of the game. Look, your ability has been restored! Tan Tan, you survived, this is really great, this time your parents and your brother were really scared."
Lin Tantan couldn't hear what he was saying at all, his teeth chattering: "Game? How can it be a game? Everything is fake? How is it possible?"
She looked at the familiar room in horror, as if she saw a ghost: "I really saw Ye Xiao, he was alive! We were in love, he said he liked me, I liked him too, and we were together!... He's fine! He's not dead!"
The three members of the Lin family looked at her in surprise: "Tan Tan/Sister, what are you talking about?"
Lin Tan Tan climbed out of the game cabin regardless of everything. She overturned the entire bookshelf, and all the books hit her face and body, but she didn't feel any pain. She searched in the pile of books, opened the history book, and opened Ye Xiao's personal biography, and the same records were there.
Died in 2026 at the age of 34.
Lin Tan Tan burst into tears. How could he not have changed? How could he still be exactly the same? The time of his death, the reason for his death, his life experience, had not changed at all. Even the scandal with Bai Cheng had not changed at all.
Nothing had changed for her. No, she had never been in the past. She had never met Ye Xiao. Everything was just a game! It was all fake!
She held her head and cried, then screamed hysterically, hoarsely, using all her strength, as if this could change everything.
Her parents looked at her in horror and called in a doctor, who held her down and gave her a sedative.
Ye Xiao held down Lin Tantan, who was struggling and crying. Fearing that she might hurt herself, he called out her name in horror, and finally shouted, "Lin Tantan!"
Lin Tantan was shocked and opened his eyes.
Above his head was a starry night sky and a bright moon that was about to set. Under the moonlight was a familiar face, looking at him with worry, anxiety, heartache and fear. Everything seemed so real.
Tears welled up in her eyes, wetting her tear-stained face again. She rushed over and hugged his neck tightly: "Ye Xiao! Ye Xiao!"
Ye Xiao hugged her and patted her back: "It's okay, it's okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't have forced you to sleep, I'm here."
Lin Tan Tan kept calling his name, her voice full of fear and panic. That dream was too real, so real that it seemed as if this moment was fake. She was completely confused and just wanted to hug this person tightly. No matter whether it was real or fake, she would not let go.
She cried and said, "I almost lost you. They said you were fake and everything was fake. How could it be fake? I really found you. I am really with you. It's not a game. This is all real, right? I will change everything!"
Her words were incoherent, but Ye Xiao understood. The content of her nightmare was that she couldn't find him. Someone said he was fake
His heart felt like it was hit by a rock, sore and painful. He comforted her softly: "Of course I am real. If you don't believe me, touch me. It's warm and real, right?"
Lin Tantan hugged him, refusing to let go for a moment. She buried her face in his neck, sobbing softly. She was still in shock and murmured, "I don't know. That dream was too real. Maybe one day, someone will really wake me up, take me out of the game room, and tell me that everything is just a game, all fiction."
She looked at the rooftop under the moonlight and nervously felt that all of this was made up of a mass of data.
The holographic game three hundred years later was so real. She had played it before. It was like a completely new and real world.
Because I know, I am more afraid.
She suddenly raised her head, looked at the sky, at the moon that was tilted to the horizon, and even felt that there were a pair of eyes hidden there, watching everything that was happening here from behind the screen.
Because this is just a game! Can't players see everything that happens in the game
Her teeth began to chatter.
Ye Xiao noticed her extreme uneasiness, pulled her away, held her tear-soaked face, gently wiped away the embarrassed tears on her face, then under her gaze, slightly raised his chin, gently and tenderly kissed her brow: "It's real, I am real, everything here is real, do you feel it?"
Lin Tan looked at him steadily, looked at his gentle eyes, looked at his sincere expression, looked at his determined and compassionate look, suddenly pounced on him and kissed his lips, then threw him to the ground.
The little hamster that was holding onto Ye Xiao's arm and clothes jumped away in a hurry and ran away a little. It turned back and looked at the two people lying on the ground hugging each other. Its eyes widened and opened wider: "Squeak?"
