Lin Tantan returned to the clinic with a hamster in his arms. Before he entered the building, he heard another scream.
It was the middle of the night and many people had gone to bed, but there were also many people who had not, such as the gate guards and the people who were studying the magic machine. These people had become numb and just silently plugged their ears.
Lin Tantan suddenly felt that this matter was really disturbing to the public.
She went into the clinic. The clinic's electricity mainly came from the energy stored by the solar panels on the roof during the day. The energy was sufficient, so the whole building was bright. So when she entered, she saw people who were listlessly staying in the hallway. Some were covered in blood, some were mumbling something, some were walking in and out of the ward nervously, and some were lying on the bed and became injured.
Each of these people had dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
The smashed things on the ground had been picked up, and there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.
Lin Tantan sighed. It had been less than an hour since she left and these people had become even more listless.
The howling sound came from upstairs again. When Lin Tantan went upstairs, he saw a girl with disheveled hair and bare feet running out, shouting as she ran: "There's a ghost, there's a ghost!"
It was the person who said she was most afraid of ghosts. Two people were chasing her and holding her down, asking her to calm down. The other patients watched the scene with numbness on their faces.
Mingze also caught up from behind and sighed: "It seems that the team leader's experience is really not applicable."
Lin Tan Tan walked over and asked: "What doesn't apply?"
Mingze said, "Didn't you say that after you had a nightmare, you could sleep soundly the next time you fell asleep? Some people just tried to fall asleep a second time, but they still dreamed. Zhang Jiujiu was the same, but she said she was extremely sleepy and wanted to sleep so much that she secretly took sleeping pills, but she was still startled awake. Not long after waking up, she couldn't hold on and fell asleep again, and then was startled awake again. This was the fourth time in just one hour."
Lin Tantan frowned as he looked at the girl with a distorted expression and a face full of collapse. He hesitated for a long time and sighed: "Want to sleep? Let her lie down, I'll try."
Mingze was a little confused, but still found an empty room for Zhang Jiujiu to lie down.
Lin Tantan put his hand on her forehead. After a while, Zhang Jiujiu, who had been struggling, fell asleep, looking particularly peaceful.
Several people watched her with bated breath. For five minutes, ten minutes, there was no movement.
After Lin Tantan withdrew his hand, she did not wake up. Lin Tantan looked at her hand. In the past, patients who had suffered from insomnia for many days could sleep soundly under her hands, and people who were haunted by nightmares could also find peace with her. Now, people who were attacked by zombies' mental attacks could also be made to sleep by her.
Well, there’s no need for a hypnotist, she can do it herself.
Mingze looked at her in astonishment: "Team leader, what did you do?"
"Nothing much. I just use energy to soothe her spirit and calm her overly excited brain. I just came up with this idea." Lin Tan Tan said, "If anyone else really wants to sleep, come and sign up. Although my method is only a temporary solution, it should at least allow them to sleep peacefully for a while."
She had not originally intended to reveal that her wood element had this function, and Ye Xiao had reminded her of this. But seeing that the patient wanted to sleep but didn't dare to, wanted to wake up but couldn't, and was about to collapse from this tossing and turning, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
Mingze went out and asked who wanted to sleep. The people in the corridor, like ghost statues, looked at him numbly or in horror, as if he were a devil.
Mingze said speechlessly: "Zhang Jiujiu has fallen asleep and didn't have a nightmare. Our team leader has found a way to let you sleep for a while." After thinking about it, it's not good to be too absolute, so he said, "But it may not work for everyone. It depends on the person..."
Before he could finish his words, these people came alive from the ghost statues, rushed to where Zhang Jiujiu was, and crowded at the door to watch.
"Oh, she's so peaceful!"
“It’s really peaceful.”
"Details."
“I want to be so peaceful too!”
No one said they didn't want to sleep. Normally, it wouldn't be a big problem for superpowers to not sleep for a few nights, but they have been exhausted by repeated nightmares, and their bodies and spirits are almost exhausted. Now there is a way to make them fall asleep, so that they can temporarily forget everything while recharging, so of course they cried and scrambled for this benefit.
So these people lay down obediently, and Lin Tan went over and put his hands on their heads for a few minutes, and they fell asleep obediently.
The last person fell asleep. Four hours passed and it was daybreak. Even the person who fell asleep earliest had been awake for an hour or two, but the clinic was still peaceful. The people who woke up were very relaxed. The dark circles and depression on their faces had disappeared a lot, and they had smiles on their faces. They talked in low voices in the corridor for fear of waking up those who were still sleeping.
"Doctor Lin."
Seeing Lin Tantan coming out of the last room, several men and women who were talking at the end of the corridor immediately greeted him.
Lin Tantan, who was twisting his waist stiffly, immediately straightened up: "Are you awake already? How long have you slept?"
"I'll take about two hours."
"I've got almost another three hours."
"I only had more than an hour, but I felt that the quality of my sleep was very high. Thank you, Dr. Lin."
These people sincerely thanked Lin Tantan. Zhang Jiujiu was also there. She had slept for three hours and her tiredness was almost gone. Thinking back to her previous state of collapse, she felt like she had escaped death. She was so excited that she wanted to grab Lin Tantan's hand and cry. Of course, she didn't dare to do so in the end.
Lin Tan Tan said: "You also need to think about what the expert said, and combine it with his personal advice to see how to solve your nightmare. This is the most important thing."
Several people nodded repeatedly.
Lin Tan Tan nodded and left like a famous doctor. Her shoulders immediately slumped and she let out a long breath. She couldn't help but feel fortunate that there were only more than seventy patients. If there were more than three hundred patients here, she would have vomited blood, right
Mingze had been following her and said, "Team Leader, you should go and have a rest too."
Lin Tantan waved his hand: "I'll just move around. Is breakfast here? I'm starving."
Mingze remembered that she was also one of the patients, but she could make others sleep well, but she could not use this ability on herself.
Mingze hesitated and asked, "Team leader, can I learn this skill?" Afraid that she would misunderstand that he wanted to steal someone's skills, he hurriedly explained, "I mean that if I learn it, I can help you with your worries."
Lin Tan said to herself, "I really hope you can help me share my worries." But she shook her head, "This is aimed at people's spirits, and requires extremely high superpowers, especially when the other party is also a superpower and mentally unstable. When your superpowers enter their brains and come into contact with their spiritual world, they will instinctively resist, and then it will hurt others and themselves."
Mingze lowered his head.
Lin Tan Tan added: "But you can try with ordinary people."
Mingze raised his head suddenly.
"An ordinary person without special powers, who has trouble sleeping and who can completely trust you." Lin Tantan thought that people in the apocalypse would easily have mental problems, post-traumatic stress disorder, too much pressure to survive that causes insomnia and irritability, etc. Don't have too many of them!
Psychologists were quite popular in the end times, but that was in the later years when people's survival was no longer so difficult and they began to pay attention to mental health. But by then, perverts were already everywhere, and it became a little difficult to correct psychological problems.
This time, more than 300 patients were haunted by nightmares, although they were caused by zombies, but there are definitely many people like them, who are haunted by various nightmares or certain pains every day, are extremely depressed, irritable and anxious, and can't sleep well at night... It's just that the degree is not so serious.
Lin Tantan believes that caring about the physical and mental health of these people should start with letting them have a good night's sleep.
Lin Tantan and Mingze discussed a new business direction for their clinic.
Mingze: I just wanted to learn a skill to solve an urgent problem, but suddenly I was asked to plan the future blueprint of the company. What happened
Not to mention that Lin Tantan has started teaching sleep aid therapy, the world outside is also very busy.
Today is the last day that the base is open to entry and exit before the zombie tide arrives. Ordinary people who want to leave the base should take advantage of this day to hurry out and grab as much food as possible to store for themselves, in case the zombie tide sieges the city for too long and they run out of water and food.
Some people began to deploy measures to fight against the zombie tide, and the reinforcement work of the city walls reached the final step.
At this time, the base is no longer the same as before. A circle of ditch several meters wide and deep has been dug at the base of the city wall. If river water is introduced, it will become a veritable moat. This is to prevent the zombie tide. The city wall has also been reinforced and raised a lot, and it appears even taller and more majestic under the sun.
Boom, boom, boom. Dozens of huge grenade vehicles were transported to various parts inside the city wall. Ye Xiao was patrolling a section of the city wall near the brigade's side.
The defense of this section was assigned to the Zhengyang Battalion, which accounted for about one-tenth of the entire defense line, but it basically depended entirely on the Zhengyang Battalion itself. In addition to the battalion members, Ye Xiao also hired some reliable and capable personnel through Bai Cheng's intermediary system.
Today we must ensure that all personnel and equipment are in place, and that arrangements in all aspects are in place.
Starting in the afternoon, people outside began to return, some were free to move around, some were withdrawn from the battle with the zombies, and the number of people entering the base never decreased. People from the Zhengyang Brigade who were outside also returned one after another.
At dusk, all the core team members arrived, including Bai Cheng and others who had been with Lu Jianping for the past few days. They all came back. Next, they had to concentrate on fighting for the Zhengyang Brigade.
Then there was a meeting to make the final arrangements and discussions. Lin Tantan was naturally also present. Her treatment team played a very important role. However, halfway through the meeting, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Ye Xiao frowned, thinking it was coming from the clinic. He asked someone to ask what happened. The errand boy came back with a strange expression and looked at where Lin Tantan was. "It's from the clinic. There are many patients and their families."
Before Lin Tantan could say anything, Ye Xiao's face darkened: "Are you here to cause trouble?"
"No, no, no." The errand boy said hurriedly, "They said they wanted to help our team guard the city wall, but they wanted to push each other away. They were all very excited."
Ye Xiao looked at Lin Tan Tan, and the others looked at her. She was also confused: "It is said that a new patient is coming, but it's not enough to cause a quarrel. You guys continue the meeting, I'll go and take a look."
She asked Mingze to continue sitting here, and she left the conference room. Ye Xiao looked at her and stood up: "There can be no mistakes in the medical field. I'll go and take a look too. Bai Cheng, I'll leave this to you."
Then he followed.
At this time, there were indeed quite a few people coming in and out of the clinic, arguing with each other, and they were mainly divided into two camps.
One camp consists of old patients who stayed in the clinic yesterday, and the other camp consists of new patients who just came today.
Why are there new patients? This is because these patients did not stay in the clinic yesterday due to various concerns. After they left, their behavior was not much better than those who stayed in the clinic. They were also making a lot of noise and screaming. Their relatives, friends and companions were completely caught off guard and could not stop them at all. Some of them even attacked and injured others, disturbing others. The whole night was noisy.
These people only then realized how serious the situation was. They had heard that those who stayed in the clinic were also in a very miserable state, so they didn't have any idea about it. But when they ran over this morning, they saw dozens of people leaving the clinic one after another with smiles on their faces.
What the hell is this
How can they still laugh? Are they driven crazy
Someone took the opportunity to ask these people when they left Zhengyang Brigade and went back to their homes. Some of them refused to say the reason, while others gave vague answers, saying that they had slept peacefully in the clinic for several hours.
Although they didn't know the reason, those who didn't stay in the clinic were still tempted, so dozens of them came to ask for shelter in the afternoon.
Lin Tan Tan saw that there were too many people, but the Zhengyang Brigade, which was taking these patients on behalf of the base and was responsible for doing its best to help them with treatment, had already been released. Moreover, there were many patients, so she wanted to see if there was anyone who could solve her nightmare as soon as possible and set an example for her. So she accepted everyone and made a rule: she would help a group of people sleep for six hours, with thirty places in a group, and they just lined up.
Then... they were stunned.
To be precise, the old patients were confused. With a batch of patients working six hours a day, only 120 people could be helped to sleep in a day. If there were more than 120 patients, then they wouldn't even have a turn a day.
You will die if you don’t sleep!
They really disliked these incoming new patients. They were naturally unhappy about being excluded. This clinic is not your private one. Why don't you let us come? Then, when Lin Tan didn't know, they started to scold him.
Then, someone, in order to be in the front row and have more opportunities, said he would please Lin Tan, but how to please him? The war was imminent, and naturally, defending the city wall for Zhengyang would satisfy him most.
When this idea spread, many new patients planned to do the same. When the old patients heard about it, they naturally did not want to be left behind. Some of them realized that they were no longer competitive, so they mobilized their relatives and friends to work with them for the Zhengyang Brigade. Naturally, others followed suit.
When Lin Tan went over, he heard an old patient yelling, "Shame on you! You brought two teams with you!"
"Hmph, can't I have more subordinates? They are idle anyway, so what's wrong with them coming to help the Zhengyang Brigade? Why don't you let us come? Do you hope that the Zhengyang Brigade will be in trouble?" The new patient, who was surrounded by two rows of big men, said proudly.
Seeing Lin Tan Tan and Ye Xiao coming together, the noisy people quieted down. The new patient who brought two rows of big men excitedly rushed to Lin Tan Tan and wanted to hug his thigh: "Doctor Lin, I finally see you. Please, let me sleep right away. All my twenty men are at your command. Among them, three of them are supernatural beings. I only ask you to cut in line for me!"
Of course, before he could hug her thigh, he was pulled away by someone.
Ye Xiao had a cold expression. Lin Tan took a look at this man and found that he had a thick layer of foundation on his face, which couldn't even cover up his dark circles.
"This, uh..." Lin Tantan scratched his face and looked at the twenty strong men who were like two walls. They looked well-maintained and had no worries about food and drink and were in excellent spirits. It was hard to refuse such labor force and fighting capacity.
She also heard at the meeting just now that they are actually very short of manpower with more than 10,000 people, otherwise they wouldn't have to hire anyone.
So she waved her hand and said, "Okay, but we don't want everyone. You have to pass our assessment."
After saying that, she looked at Ye Xiao and said, "How about this, just treat it as a temporary job?"
Ye Xiao frowned: "Okay, but will it tire you out?"
Lin Tan Tan whispered, "Even if there weren't these twenty people, look how miserable he is. Can I really bear it with him crying and begging like that? Just consider it as medical expenses."
Thus, Lin Tantan's bribery began. The original six-hour queuing rule remained unchanged, but within the six hours, she accepted queue-jumping. The more people contributed to the Zhengyang Brigade, the more they could enjoy VIP services.
As soon as this new rule came out, she found that almost all the patients came back, including those cool lone rangers.
These lone rangers are all very capable people, otherwise they would not dare to go out alone to fight zombies. In order to enjoy queue-jumping and VIP sleep-aid services, these people came to work for the Zhengyang Brigade. After it was confirmed that they were not people with evil intentions, they were arranged to some important positions.
Except for the Lone Ranger, the others were also very capable. After all, they were able to deal with the zombies. These patients were all very strong, and most of them were supernatural beings. Their relatives, friends, and subordinates were not rookies either. These people were always coveted by other forces and they tried hard to win them over. Some even had their own small forces, such as the guy who brought 20 strong men and called himself Young Master. A thousand people suddenly poured into the Zhengyang Brigade.
Leaders of other forces: Damn, wood-type mutants have this kind of effect
Lin Tantan, who recruited more than a thousand capable fighters for the brigade, said: What a pleasant surprise. In this case, she will just focus on logistics this time.
At around eight o'clock, as the last person entered the base, the base gate slammed shut. On the wide walkway on the city wall, all the night watchmen were in place, with one person standing guard every few meters. Whether in the base's central command room or the front-line command room close to the city wall, they were all paying close attention to the information fed back by zombie detectors and other instruments.
"The real tide of zombies will not arrive until tomorrow, but there will always be some appetizers before the main course." When Ye Xiao said this to Lin Tantan, they stood in front of Shen Ji.
The magical machine was disassembled into many parts and then slowly reassembled. These days, Xu Qin and Jiang Xiaotian, with their respective teams, have been working almost to the death here. With the addition of Xu Tianjin and the intermittent confession of the original pilot, they finally figured out the principle of this thing and also understood the theoretical knowledge of driving.
"If we need to use it this time, we can give it a try." These are Xu Qin's words, "I added an ammunition carrying function."
Lin Tantan looked at the drawings all over the table and the floor and was full of respect for him. He not only figured out the principle and structure of the magic machine, but also modified it. He was really amazing.
Then, that night, Ye Xiao acted as a test pilot and controlled this big guy.
Everyone stepped back far away and watched as the big guy that was parked on the ground shook slightly, and then the ground and the surrounding area began to hiss. Some of them lifted off the ground unsteadily, some gradually rose into the air crookedly, and then stabilized and began to fly over people's heads.
It really is like a triangular flying saucer, just a little thicker and bulkier.
A rope will also be lowered from its bottom for aerial rescue in emergencies.
As for dropping bombs or something, of course we can't try it here.
Ye Xiao landed the aircraft steadily again. He came out of the cabin with a calm expression: "It will take more practice to operate it flexibly and skillfully, but if it is only used for close-range bombing and rescue, it is enough."
Lin Tan Tan asked worriedly, "What about the energy shield? Can it be activated? Is the technology mature?"
Jiang Xiaotian replied: "We have done a lot of calculations, and the energy shield can only be opened for two minutes at most. If it is opened for a long time, it will easily cause energy instability. The most serious consequence is a machine explosion, so we should not open the energy shield if possible."
But even without the energy shield, this magical machine still has advantages against flocks of birds in the sky. Compared with ordinary helicopters, it is not affected by wind, and will not crash if the blades or tail are damaged. Compared with ordinary fighter planes, it does not need any takeoff runway. It can take off and land at any time, which is very flexible.
All in all, this is really a good thing, no wonder so many people want it.
With this thing, the Zhengyang Brigade has an extra layer of protection.
While they were talking about the magic machine, outside late at night, the appetizer arrived just as Ye Xiao had said. Amid the beeping sound of the zombie detector, the first small-scale zombies that came out from nowhere crashed into the city wall, and the battle began.
After the first batch, there came the second batch, and the third batch. By the next morning, there were piles of zombie corpses in front of the base.
Then came sporadic attacks throughout the morning, like a drop or two of rain before a storm.
In the afternoon, as the zombie detectors sounded their alarms, groups of zombies slowly emerged from the ruins of the city in the distance.
There were thousands and thousands of zombies. They seemed like travelers who had traveled a lifetime and finally met their hometown in their dreams. They were also like travelers who had wandered in the desert for a long time and found an oasis when they were about to die of thirst.
In short, these guys were all crazy, roaring and rushing towards the base in all directions, like a black and gray tide.
They ran across the wide open space, some were stopped by roadblocks, some fell into the moat, and some climbed up the city wall but were knocked down by the people above.
Then the ground exploded with a bang. Fire, metal fragments, dust, and smoke spread out in the open space in front of the base. The ant-like zombies were thrown into the sky and fell to the ground, like rag dolls, becoming pieces.
