The mist turned left and right, sometimes dispersing and sometimes gathering, like a ball of cotton candy, being pushed aside and gathered again by invisible hands. It looked a little cute in Ye Xiao's eyes.
He laughed out loud: "That's a lot of progress."
Lin Tantan looked up when he heard the voice, his eyes lit up: "When did you come?"
Ye Xiao said: "It was only a moment, you were too focused and didn't notice me."
She was quite focused, but if it was someone else, not Ye Xiao, she would have been alert as soon as the person arrived in the courtyard.
Lin Tan looked at the time and said, "I came back a little late today."
"Something happened at the factory, so you're hungry? Do you want to eat something?" He put the things he packed on the small table.
Lin Tantan was not hungry, but as soon as she opened the lid and saw the exquisite little dumplings, she became interested in eating. She picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth, nodding vigorously while eating: "Mm, delicious."
She grabbed another one and handed it to Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao cooperated by lowering his head to accept the feeding. Her fingertips brushed across his lips. Ye Xiao looked up at her, but she had already lowered her head, pinching with her index finger and thumb, and was looking for the next target.
Ye Xiao sighed secretly.
He said, "Your water ability has improved. Did you go to Wei Jie to learn from him again?"
"Yeah." Lin Tantan laughed when he talked about this. "I really wanted to ask him for advice, but every time he would read those words to me very consciously. I was too embarrassed to interrupt him because his face would become very long."
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Why don't you explain it to him clearly?"
"I don't want to talk about it. Let's see when he will figure it out. Isn't this guy said to be very smart and cunning? Why does he look stupid to me?" Lin Tan Tan stuffed another steamed bun into her mouth. Her cheeks were puffed up with food. She said others were stupid but she didn't know that she was really like a stupid little hamster. She was very proud of herself. "Anyway, I have almost succeeded in stealing my skills. He still thinks that I asked him to show his supernatural powers for a show."
Ye Xiao laughed and shook his head, not wanting to stop her from enjoying this evil taste. He looked at the silent video on the tablet and asked, "Why don't you play the sound?"
"This, the male lead's voice is a bit vulgar, I don't want to listen to it."
"Then you still look."
"I just want to know why this guy named Wei is so famous. After looking around, I wonder how many women he has provoked. Will they fight in the end? I want to see them fight."
Ye Xiao: "...You haven't watched this TV series before?"
"No, is it really famous?"
"It's just so-so." Ye Xiao turned off the tablet. "If you don't like it, don't watch it. You're sleepy, so go to sleep."
Lin Tan Tan nodded, then moved to the side, patted the seat beside him, and looked up at him.
Ye Xiao froze for a moment.
Lin Tan's actions were very natural. Inviting him to sleep with her had become a habit. But she didn't know that every time someone she invited someone else, they couldn't get used to it.
Ye Xiao froze for a while: "I haven't washed up yet, I'll come back later."
"Oh, okay, go ahead."
Ye Xiao returned to the room reserved for him in the courtyard, washed his face, looked at himself in the mirror, and sighed silently. To this day, Tan Tan still has nightmares. Although her nightmares always go in strange directions, she still sleeps uneasily and sometimes even wakes up crying.
He was worried about her sleeping alone, but it was impossible for her to sleep in bed every time, so he sat beside her to accompany her. As time went by, he always accompanied her to bed. In the first few days, this "accompany" was still very simple, but recently it has become more and more different.
It was his problem. After all, at that age when he was full of vigor and vitality, it would be abnormal for him not to have any reaction when sleeping in the same bed with the girl he liked every night. At first, he was worried about her, so he suppressed his thoughts, but as time went on, it really became...
So Ye Xiao was very distressed. He couldn't say he wouldn't accompany her anymore, and he couldn't ask the girl not to sleep. Although it was completely fine for a superpower to sleep less, he had discovered long ago that the girl liked a regular life and liked to curl up in bed and sleep comfortably, like a lazy kitten unwilling to leave its nest. It was really hard for her to stay awake for several days.
After thinking about it for a long time, he could not find a better way, so Ye Xiao quickly took a cold shower and then returned to Lin Tan with a slight dampness in his body.
Lin Tan Tan was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a tablet and pushing the progress bar backwards, just wanting to see if those women would fight. Seeing Ye Xiao coming back, he threw the tablet away and lifted the thin quilt beside him. Ye Xiao lay down in it as usual, and was hugged the next moment.
Ye Xiao: “…”
"Ah, you feel cold, did you just take a shower?" The little girl found the most comfortable position for herself and leaned against him with ease. Her head rubbed against his chest, and her small and soft body was also tightly pressed against him. In summer, although their pajamas were both conservative, the fabric could not be thick, and the fire in Ye Xiao's body was immediately aroused.
His body was stiff, he looked at the ceiling, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Go to sleep."
"I suddenly can't sleep again." Lin Tantan said.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Then continue watching TV?"
“It doesn’t look good.”
Ye Xiao thought about it again, picked up his phone, and opened a video: "Take a look, do you like this place?"
Lin Tan Tan: "..." Lin Tan Tan glanced at his serious expression and wondered if he had misunderstood. Wasn't this what he meant by the tense muscles and fear of moving he had noticed a few nights ago
She is not a fool, she still understands the things between men and women, and she thinks it is good for such things to happen naturally. Since she changed her mind and accepted being with Ye Xiao, she has thought that there would be such a day. To be honest, ahem, she is still a little looking forward to it.
As the person she cared about the most, she naturally noticed every slight change in Ye Xiao's expression and body language.
After thinking about it for several days, pondering it secretly, and finding that he did not take any action, she decided to take the initiative. However, what is the situation now
Lin Tantan looked at the man's face, then at the phone screen, and finally looked at the screen silently.
This should be a shot of a scenic spot. It starts with an aerial shot, with rolling green hills, white waterfalls and streams in the mountains, birds flying high in the sky, and lingering clouds. The view then moves slowly, showing one scene after another on the mountain, colorful woods, ancient mountain paths, and clear flowing water. There is also a large wetland at the foot of the mountain, where red-crowned cranes are strolling leisurely. Unknown birds fly up from the lush water and grass, fly across the clear blue lake, and land on a small island in the center of the lake.
Lin Tantan looked at the scenes and couldn't help but feel a little yearning for this paradise-like place: "Where is this?"
Ye Xiao did not answer immediately. The picture turned into an aerial view from a bird's-eye view. The end kept moving farther away, the wetland gradually became smaller, and patches of green farmland appeared in the field of vision, more and more, connected to the green fields, with rivers flowing through them, houses of different heights scattered around, and occasionally there were some undulating hills, and a few places gathered into small towns.
As the view moves to the side, high-rise buildings representing a modern city appear, roads extending in all directions, a constant stream of vehicles, and a seemingly densely populated population.
Then there were detailed shots of the streets, and Ye Xiao said, "This is Liang City, one of the five cities that have been initially selected. Although it is located in the northwest, it has a suitable climate and fertile land. It was a big city before the end of the world. It cannot be compared with coastal metropolises, but it also has developed industry and agriculture, complete infrastructure, and beautiful scenery. It is a famous livable city."
Ye Xiao asked: "Do you like this place after seeing it?"
Lin Tantan's eyes flashed with the mountains and rivers in the front again. She smiled and said, "I like those mountains and rivers in the front. Is that a scenic spot? It's very beautiful. I just don't know if it has changed after the end of the world."
Ye Xiao said: "It is indeed a scenic spot. I don't know if there have been any changes, but Liang City has been destroyed. All the citizens are either dead or have fled. Now there is only an empty city left - or not, there are still half zombies in the city. If we choose this place, we can go around it from this road, settle down in the town opposite the scenic spot first, and develop while clearing out the zombies in the city." Ye Xiao pulled out an electronic map, drew an invisible route on it with his finger, and pointed to the surroundings.
Lin Tantan also understood that the geographical environment here is unique, with an overall altitude of more than 2,000 meters.
Surrounded by mountains, it is a world of its own. The land area is extremely wide and has great development prospects. There are rivers and lakes in the territory, and the precipitation is relatively abundant. The winter is not very cold and the summer is not very hot. Moreover, because people left the city after the end of the world and only zombies were active, the city was not damaged much. Unlike Ning City, which was plundered over and over again, there are no survivor organizations around, so there is no need to compete with others for territory.
In addition, the resources here are relatively abundant. Lin Tan Tan focused on the fact that there is a large cotton base in Liang City. He believed that even if the ready-made cotton products were taken away, the equipment was still there, so it would be easier to produce cotton products again. Nowadays, clothes and fabrics are used less and less, and there is no place to produce them. It won't be long before people's clothing will become a problem. It is naturally best to be able to produce them by ourselves.
In addition, the coal production in the neighboring city of Liangshi is very strong, Liangshi also has a strong industrial base, and has its own mining area, and the agricultural prospects are also very good...
This is indeed a very nice place.
Afterwards, Ye Xiao showed Lin Tan other videos from other places, but none of them suited her taste as well as the first one.
Lin Tantan fell asleep while watching, curled up in Ye Xiao's arms, head resting on his shoulder, breathing shallowly.
Ye Xiao's heart softened instantly. He quietly put down his phone, dimmed the bedside lamp, helped her adjust her sleeping position, then bent down and gently kissed her forehead.
He counted the time, and sure enough, more than half an hour later, the little girl woke up sobbing. He hugged her, patted her, and comforted her softly: "What's wrong with you dreaming about me again this time?"
She said with a wronged look on her face, "I dreamed that you turned into rabbits, big grey rabbits, each with your face, crammed together on a truck, I couldn't even tell which one you were, and the driver said he was going to slaughter you all and braise you for food."
But she was very anxious.
Ye Xiao: “…” Forget it, he was used to it. Whenever she saw something special during the day, he would definitely become something related to that thing in his dreams at night.
Perhaps he should be thankful that after digging out the vole holes today, she also saw a cart of rabbits, otherwise in her dream he would have turned into a vole waiting for her to dig them out.
Lin Tantan sniffed and lay listlessly in Ye Xiao's arms, but one of his hands was subconsciously restless, tugging at his clothes here and poking his flesh there, and rubbing his face on his chest from time to time.
Ye Xiao's body began to stiffen again. He tried not to keep his legs close to her. He stared at the ceiling in the dim light with his eyes open. As usual, she would fall asleep on her own after a while. As long as he didn't keep her awake, she would always sleep well. He planned to endure this period of time silently as usual.
Who knew that the person in his arms moved up and whispered, "Ye Xiao."
"Um?"
Lin Tan was speechless for a moment. She felt that he was beginning to tense up again, his heartbeat and breathing rate slightly faster, and his body temperature also rose a little.
Originally, she felt a cool and comfortable feeling when hugging him, but now she felt hot as well.
She subconsciously thought, are all men so passionate
But I didn't see any action.
She struggled for a moment, propped herself up, stared into his eyes, and called out again: "Ye Xiao."
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiao also looked at her, his eyes were restrained and dark.
Lin Tan Tan moved closer and said in a very low voice: "Don't you want to do something?"
Ye Xiao almost didn't hear it clearly, or maybe he heard it clearly but didn't react.
My mind was filled with her increasingly sweet, soft and ambiguous scent as she got closer.
His body became hotter, his blood flowed faster, and he couldn't help but hug her waist.
Lin Tan Tan's lips were almost touching his, his hands supporting his hard chest muscles, and his voice was almost inaudible: "If you want... I can do it."
Ye Xiao's brain exploded. He had a warm and soft girl in his arms. This was his beloved girl. He had been restraining himself until now and it was abnormal. Now he was stimulated by these words. When he came to his senses, he had already kissed her lips. The big hand on her waist had reached under her clothes without him knowing when.
Then, all that filled his mind was the skin that was as smooth, soft, and warm as cream. Every inch of it had a fatal attraction to him.
Lin Tan Tan was trying his best to hold it in, but he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, it's itchy."
Ye Xiao, who was about to push her down, said: "..."
He suddenly came to his senses, and Lin Tan looked back at him innocently: "It's okay, it's okay, continue."
What are you still talking about? Ye Xiao silently took his hand out, his voice even hoarseer than before, and sighed: "Go to sleep."
"Eh? No, keep going." Lin Tantan cleared his throat, looking ready for battle, "I'm ready."
Her eyes sparkled in the dim light, showing a bit of anticipation, a bit of nervousness, and a bit of eagerness to try, but she did not have the same confused and intoxicated desire as him. It would be strange if Ye Xiao could still do that to her.
So, he always felt that something was missing.
Ye Xiao felt himself wilting, and said weakly: "It's okay, go to sleep."
Lin Tan Tan looked at him suspiciously, and when he was sure that he had no intention of continuing, he said "oh" with some disappointment.
She lay back down obediently, and after a while she suddenly asked, "Is it really okay? I heard that if you hold it in for too long, something bad will happen."
Ye Xiao: “…” Ye Xiao was really caught off guard.
Lin Tan Tan whispered again: "We have such a good relationship, this is nothing." There is no need to endure it.
Ye Xiao became more and more embarrassed. He was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched her hair: "No hurry, you are not ready yet."
"Nonsense, I'm ready." Lin Tan Tan muttered softly, "I'm not a child anymore."
Ye Xiao thought that it had nothing to do with age. He added, "And I think we should get married first."
"Ah!" She almost forgot that this guy was very obsessed with the sense of ritual. If she hadn't been dreaming, they wouldn't have lived together like this.
Ye Xiao also said: "I have been on several special missions before and received professional training, so nothing will go wrong."
Lin Tan Tan didn't understand at first, but only realized it after a while. He was surprised that there was such training, then he was curious about the content of the training, and finally he understood that he was a professional in resisting temptation, which was really great.
She was so worried that he would become a pervert and that he would suffer...
Lin Tan Tan turned around silently and faced away from him.
Ye Xiao was a little worried that she was angry or embarrassed. Just as he was thinking about how to resolve the situation, she suddenly turned over and pounced on him, hugged him and rubbed against him, which stunned him. She stepped back and looked at him. Hmm, she was still calm. She nodded and said, "It seems that you are a professional." Then she continued to lean on him without any burden, giggling and stretching out her arms and legs to grab him, as if she was hugging a human doll.
Ye Xiao didn't expect that this was the explanation. From then on, to his girlfriend, he had no gender distinction in bed. He was just a comfortable human-shaped pillow that could be hugged and used as a pillow.
Ye Xiao had a wooden face, and after a while he resigned himself to his fate and fell asleep holding her.
In the second half of the night, Ye Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. He heard a faint buzzing sound outside, and then the swan mutant rat also started to cry. He got out of bed and looked at the window. In the dark night sky, pieces of even thicker black were slowly floating towards him.
It's a mutant mosquito!
Still a huge group!
Ye Xiao immediately went out and called a group of mosquitoes jumping around in the pool to come in. With such a large swarm of mosquitoes, he hoped they would be sucked dry.
Two big geese and a group of old mutant rats of all sizes entered the house. Lin Tantan also woke up and noticed the abnormality in the sky: "Are those mosquitoes? There are so many of them. What should we do?"
"It's okay, don't open the window." After knowing the existence of mutant mosquitoes, the house was renovated a second time and screens were installed. Any small holes or gaps were blocked tightly, and mosquitoes could never fly in. Ye Xiao said while notifying the complex building in the compound downstairs. There would always be a few people left there on duty at night to prevent any emergencies.
Soon, the broadcast spread throughout the entire Zhengyang Brigade, whether in Area 1, Area 2 or Area 3, notifying everyone that a swarm of mutant mosquitoes had appeared and to close doors and windows and not go out.
The broadcast was so loud that it woke up everyone around. Those who could hear clearly what was being said on the radio quickly followed its instructions. Those who had opened the windows for cooler weather immediately closed them tightly. Those who were far away and could not hear the broadcast clearly felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao also notified Lu Jianping's people. As the largest leadership team of the base, they acted quickly and reminded people of the situation through the radio.
As early as the first appearance of the mutant mosquitoes, Ye Xiao caught a large number of them and studied them. In the end, he found that these mutant mosquitoes had a strong ability to suck blood. No matter whether it was humans or animals, even thick fur could hardly withstand the sharp and hard mouthparts, and they could suck a lot at a time. If a person was targeted by twenty or thirty mosquitoes at the same time, the blood sucked away would be enough to put him into shock.
But after all, they are just mosquitoes, with little attack power, and ordinary wood or thicker and harder cloth can resist them. This result has been publicized a long time ago, and most people know the existence of mutant mosquitoes. Now when they hear the broadcast, they close the doors and windows of each household in time, and basically they can escape.
The victims are those who have no houses to live in and can only live in tents or even sleep on the streets. They can only wrap themselves tightly with cloth, quilts, sacks, cardboard boxes and other items they can find, and at the same time find a place that provides as much shelter as possible.
In addition, people who were patrolling and standing guard at night would immediately find a place to hide nearby.
At this moment, many people looked up at the night sky, looking at the particularly dark block of color coming from the mountains. It was like a heavy dark cloud. A lot of it had appeared in the front, but the back was still endless. It was like a drop of thick black ink dropped into a water tank, constantly spreading as if to cover the sky and the moon, which was frightening.
Lin Tantan was also looking at the sky and asked with some concern, "Over there in the livestock shed?"
"There's someone taking care of it over there."
Over at the livestock shed in the new area, an earth-type mutant ran over and completely sealed up the livestock shed, including some houses in the compound, which were also sealed up with mud for safety reasons.
As for the three districts under construction, many buildings were only half built, so those who had not yet been allocated new houses were immediately asked to move into the buildings. Then, earth-type mutants directly sealed the buildings, leaving only some ventilation holes.
Although it’s a bit dark and stuffy, it’s safe at least.
Then soon, swarms of mosquitoes flew down from the sky, and the Zhengyang Brigade at the foot of the mountain was the first to be hit. Outside the doors and windows of the houses came the sound of "ding-ding-ding-da-da-da", like the sound of sharp weapons hitting each other. It was the mosquitoes pecking with their mouthparts.
If you are bold enough to draw open the curtains, you can see a dense black mass outside the glass window. You can imagine that if there is a small hole somewhere, these guys will come in one after another, and the people in the room will probably end up being sucked into a mummy.
Lin Tan Tan listened to the noise outside and asked Ye Xiao: "Does everyone in the base have a shelter?"
Ye Xiao held her hand without saying anything. Lin Tan Tan also knew that this was impossible. With so many people, the base management did not have that much energy. After this night, who knows how many mummies with miserable deaths would appear in the streets.
Lin Tantan was a little hesitant and tangled: "Ye Xiao..."
Ye Xiao sighed: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
“Go do what you want to do.”
Lin Tan looked at him for a while, smiled with bright eyes and nodded.
The two of them went out together. When they opened the door, there were not many mosquitoes outside. Probably realizing that they couldn't conquer this place, most of them had flown away. But as soon as the two of them came out, all the mosquitoes nearby swarmed over.
Ye Xiao released a wind wall to isolate all the mosquitoes. Lin Tan came out from behind him and quickly closed the door to ensure that not even a single mosquito could get in.
She also gave some instructions to her little cuties: "Stay still and don't come out."
She turned around, and Ye Xiao condensed a circle of air barrier around her, preventing the mosquitoes from touching her at all. She raised her hand, and released a red flame with a scorching bright yellow flame. In an instant, the number of mosquitoes in the air was reduced. They flew wildly, their bodies making crackling sounds as they burned, and fell down in panic like fireflies, no longer able to be arrogant.
Then she aimed at another spot in the sky where there were more mosquitoes, and another flame came out.
