It has long been no secret that Lin Tantan is a five-element mutant. Given how frequently she uses the fire and water elements and how little she tries to hide it, both people inside and outside the Zhengyang Brigade have already guessed this.
It just hasn't been announced publicly yet.
Now that the news had spread outside, even the most obtuse and uninformed people knew about it, and suddenly more people began to pay attention to Lin Tantan.
In addition, the second half of the rumor, saying that the Zhengyang Brigade was able to develop so smoothly and well because of Lin Tantan, and that any force with her would be halfway to success, made her a hot topic for a while.
The most important thing is that all other bases that were connected to the communication network also received such news. Within one day, almost the whole country knew that Lin Tantan was a five-element mutant.
Ye Xiao's face was as gloomy as water. Bai Cheng shook his head: "Min Yande doesn't have the time and energy to really do anything. Is he trying to instigate others to cause trouble? These rumors are not good for Tan Tan. Do you want to dispel them?"
Ye Xiao looked up at him and said, "Why do you want to dispel rumors? This is the truth, isn't it?"
Bai Cheng was stunned.
"If we hadn't talked, Meimei wouldn't have survived, and I might have drowned in the river. Take the zombie tide in June, for example. Without her, the caves wouldn't have been dug so smoothly, the ambush on zombies wouldn't have been so effective, and we wouldn't have known the terrifying ability of the leading zombie so early, and then we wouldn't have eradicated it in time. The nightmare effect left by the zombie is still there today, and it's not much worse than the terrifying zombie leaders in the capital. For example, when the zombie tide surrounded the city, if she hadn't helped us sleep and let us recover our energy quickly, our losses would have increased by a value."
Ye Xiao spoke calmly one by one. He had never forgotten these things. As for the Zhengyang Brigade, he believed that his contribution was not as great as Lin Tantan's.
Bai Cheng was silent. It was indeed true.
He seemed to understand something: "Since there are no rumors to dispel, do you want to just let it go or do something about it?"
Ye Xiao looked at his palm: "I remember someone told me before that with Tan Tan's ability, she shouldn't be buried in this small base. If she went to a big place like the capital, she would not only be able to play a greater role, but also be treated as a guest of honor, praised by everyone, and enjoy the best of everything."
"I also want to give her the best, but now it seems that it is still far from enough."
He hated it most when someone used Lin Tantan as a prey and treated her as a soft persimmon. The reason why he did not target Commander Fan but instead targeted Min Yande was simply because Commander Fan was targeting him, while Min Yande wanted to target Lin Tantan, which he could not accept.
Now that Min Yande is in a dilemma, he still wants to find a way out with Lin Tantan, stir up conflicts, and even sow discord.
Ye Xiao's expression was calm, but he was quite annoyed in his heart.
"Suppose Tan Tan and I are not in the same relationship as we are now," he asked Bai Cheng, "She is not even a girl. How much chips do we need to put up if we want to keep her?"
Bai Cheng was stumped by his question.
Now there are many talented people in their team, and those who join them are all attracted by their unique conditions, treatment, atmosphere, and prospects. The most outstanding people have higher conditions than ordinary people, and their attitudes towards each other will also be different.
Even for the four mercenaries who went to the capital, we agreed to some unusual conditions in order to get them to do things.
Compared to those people, Lin Tantan's value is obviously several times higher, even difficult to estimate simply. The price to pay to keep her is naturally extremely high.
We must also be cautious and respectful in our attitude towards her, and show enough protection to the outside world. For example, if someone uses her to make trouble this time, let alone refuting the rumors, the first thing we should do is to calm her down.
Bai Cheng completely realized that he had taken things for granted. Perhaps because they had such a good relationship, he seemed a little disrespectful to Lin Tan Tan.
He said, “I know what to do.”
So not long after, the Zhengyang Brigade released the news that, yes, our brigade is able to go so smoothly because of Lin Tantan, this powerful and magical five-element superpower user. She is electricity, she is light, she is the biggest lucky star, and our Zhengyang Brigade is so lucky.
When Lin Tantan heard this, he almost fell off his chair.
She was about to burst into tears, what was going on? !
Then she, who stayed in the compound all day and didn't go out, and basically relied on patients to bring her the latest news, knew what people outside said about her. What the hell is this? Is her role so important? The team even followed suit and said, yes, she is so powerful.
Lin Tan Tan... So embarrassing!
The patients and injured in the team looked at her with something strange in their eyes, as if they were looking at shining gold. It happened that today there were two seriously injured patients who came in through the green channel from outside. They were bitten in the vital parts by the mutant beasts. Their companions also carried the two people in. There was a hint of surprise and admiration in the eyes of these people when they looked at her.
After Lin Tantan finished his work, he heard two people chatting in the corner: "Your medical team leader is really so amazing!"
"Of course. It's clearly stated above. If she hadn't spent so much time in the clinic treating everyone's injuries and illnesses, she would have already made a name for herself outside."
The outsider said, "You better keep a close eye on them. I'm afraid there will be a lot of people trying to steal your girl... I even want our boss to come and steal her."
"Go to hell, Doctor Lin is from our Zhengyang Brigade."
Lin Tantan felt even more embarrassed after hearing this.
She became a celebrity overnight. It seemed as if everyone wanted to use good words to describe her, and their eyes were shining when they looked at her. However, instead of discussing her being a five-element mutant, everyone seemed to be more interested in discussing the attitude of the Zhengyang Brigade towards her.
Zhengyang Brigade, Zhengyang Brigade even held a small meeting specifically for this purpose, the content of which was roughly how to praise her highly and how to hold accountable those who treated her as an object of casual discussion and ridicule.
For this purpose, the Zhengyang Brigade even set up a public relations group, or an external publicity group, which listed all the things that Lin Tantan had done, from Yang City to the present day, and compiled a long list to prove how useful and benevolent she was.
Lin Tantan wanted to stop all this, but couldn't. Ye Xiao told her to leave it alone. Lin Tantan complained: "Why leave it alone? This is my own business. Isn't this too exaggerated?"
And as she looked at those things one by one, she felt that she was about to be written as a saint, the kind that radiated light all over her body, and she even doubted whether that was herself.
Ye Xiao said: "Min Yande had people spread rumors and announced that you are a five-element superpower. He has two main purposes. One is to make more people covet your abilities, and the other is to create a rift between you and me."
The main reason was that it created a rift between her and the leadership team of the Zhengyang Brigade.
If she had not been non-competitive for power, if Ye Xiao had not understood her and loved her, if she had not saved Mei Baisheng's life, and if they had not cared about these false names, the mere fact that she was lifted up to surpass everyone else would have caused conflicts among them.
The intention of this plan is very vicious.
Ye Xiao was somewhat self-deprecating. He asked Cai Chengliang to disrupt the harmony between the Min and Chen factions, and Min Yande turned around and gave him a similar gift. It could be considered as a tit-for-tat, but his plan succeeded, but Min Yande had no chance of success.
"The news about the five-element psychic is sure to excite many people. You have already become completely famous, so they might as well follow the rumor and acknowledge your role and status, which will also be a shock to some people." The weight of a five-element psychic who is alone and a five-element psychic who is regarded as the most indispensable core figure by the entire team and is respected, loved and supported by the entire team is completely different.
To put it bluntly, anyone who wants to have a crush on her should think twice before they can reach out to Lin Tantan and decide whether they can defeat all her supporters first.
Ye Xiao said: "Besides, it's not wrong. You have indeed done a lot. This is the honor you deserve. On the other hand, we also want to make you the living signboard of the Zhengyang Brigade. Are you willing?"
There is no living signboard that is more useful than the titles such as the five-element superpower user and the strongest wood element. Lin Tan Tan is really very suitable for this role. Whether for public or private reasons, Ye Xiao must make this happen.
Moreover, he had another idea. Others didn't know it, but their group knew it. Lin Tantan was able to save the infected at the beginning of the apocalypse. Once this ability was exposed, it would either make her a deity overnight or become her death warrant. Instead of making her attitude clear at that time, it would be better to make her the most special and core person in the team now.
"But this is too high-profile." Lin Tantan murmured, "Besides, I'm not that good."
Looking at the series of events compiled by the PR department, she was silent for a moment and finally whispered, "They say that I am willing to take on new psychics and teach them, and that I am open-minded or something like that. In fact, I just want to get more psychics. To put it bluntly, it means more laborers to make the collective strength stronger."
"They also said that I was kind by providing free medical treatment to people in the shantytowns. In fact, the situation was too serious. Too many people died and many people were infected, which would also affect us." In fact, the truth was, she thought that the early onset of the rainstorm might be related to her time travel. She didn't want to bear such a heavy debt, so she tried her best to save people.
"When I treat people, I get some material or contribution points. It's not selfless dedication."
"I am doing my best in the zombie tide for the sake of the collective, but I will be well only when the collective is well. I don't want the place where I live to become devastated, I don't want the people around me who are familiar with me to die, and I don't want you to suffer too much."
"And helping kill mosquitoes, that's really easy. I have plenty of energy and can save some people just by raising my hand. I don't want too many people to die, so let's set some fires and floods. I don't think it's a big deal."
Lin Tantan raised his head with some difficulty and looked at Ye Xiao. "In fact, I am not a particularly good person. I will only consider saving others when I am sure that I will not suffer any loss or damage. And the other party must be unable to save themselves due to force majeure. For those who can obviously save themselves but insist on waiting for others to give them alms, I completely look down on them and can watch them die with cold eyes."
Family members know their own business. Lin Tantan knew very well that she was not a saint at all. As a therapist in her previous life, she had a professional therapist certificate, not a professional physician certificate.
She has never sworn an oath, and she does not have the spirit of selflessness to save the dying and the wounded. Most of her clients are powerful people. Occasionally, she will hold a free clinic, which is an activity arranged for her by the hospital and even the country to establish her positive image, to publicize the inspirational deeds of a five-disabled person, to gain admiration from other countries and to achieve higher political goals.
She is not a cold-blooded person. She is indeed soft-hearted, kind-hearted and loves life. But she is definitely not what is written on the paper or what many people think, like a pure and flawless saint who saves people regardless of her own safety.
Maybe it was because many things that others thought required a lot of effort and hard work to achieve were too easy for her? Her starting point for doing something was: she didn't have to put in too much effort, but the result she could achieve was beautiful and beautiful, and it could make her feel satisfied and happy, or it could make Ye Xiao feel more relaxed, so she did it happily.
She didn't think she was noble.
The more she talked, the more she felt that this misunderstanding was a bit big. Looking at Ye Xiao's face, others thought she was a little fairy or a great saint, but what about him? She asked carefully, "Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
Ye Xiao was indeed a little dazed. After a while, he looked at her and said, "I don't think you are a saint either."
Lin Tan Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard him say, "But."
But what? He didn't say anything directly, but instead showed a thoughtful expression.
But he didn't expect that she was thinking this way.
Rather than being kindhearted, helpful, and considering the overall situation, she seems to be indifferent to whether or not to pay, or how much to pay, because it is too easy. If you want to move a huge rock, many people will probably hesitate, but the one in front of you is just a small stone that can be kicked away with just one foot, so why not kick it? How big of a deal is that
He didn't expect her to be in this state of mind.
It was a bit unexpected, but also a bit of a practical feeling.
Ye Xiao himself is not a 100% good person. He may have less selfish and dark things in his heart than other people, but his bottom line is much higher than that of ordinary people. He knows what is right and wrong, what can be done and what cannot be done. The beauty of Lin Tan Tan is part of her characteristics that attract him. In his heart, she is pure, innocent, a little confused, and sharp.
But now it is discovered that her kindness and harmlessness, as well as her occasional confusion and naivety, seem to be ignored only because she is too strong.
Ye Xiao laughed. This feeling... was quite strange.
It seems that I don't have to worry that she will be disappointed and disgusted after my imperfections are discovered.
Lin Tan Tan felt confused. What was he laughing at when he said such a thing
She pushed him: "Speak, but what?"
Ye Xiao pulled her over and ruffled her hair with a smile: "Let's talk about how cute you are."
Lin Tan Tan: “…” Why did the topic suddenly change so quickly
But looking at it this way, it shouldn't be the situation she's worried about, right
She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little nervous: "Aren't you angry, disappointed?"
"Why are you angry or disappointed? I was worried that you would suffer because of your soft-hearted personality, but if you understand everything and do everything within your ability, then I have nothing to worry about."
Ye Xiao looked at the half-finished promotional manuscripts in her hands and said thoughtfully, "But we can't say this to the public, and there's no need to write it too corny." It's not easy to take off the saint's hat after putting it on, so he said, "I know what to do."
Lin Tantan looked at him trustingly, and when he said he knew what to do, she was no longer worried.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment, then pulled her to sit down: "Let's talk. Now that we're here, let's be frank. Do you want to step to the front, meaning you don't always hide in the clinic to do logistics?"
"Why?"
"Your five abilities, except for the wood ability, can outperform most people with abilities in any of the other abilities. You are more than qualified to lead a combat team or be a manager. It's a waste of your talent to only be in charge of a medical team."
Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Wouldn't it be necessary to go out often if I lead a combat team? I still prefer to stay inside and be a manager? You mean someone like Bai Cheng? I can't do that either. Just thinking about it makes me feel annoyed. A clinic is more suitable for me. Treatment is what I am best at."
The rest are just for fun. Occasionally, she would dig a hole, kill a zombie, or kill a mosquito. That was fun and exciting, but she definitely couldn't stand doing that every day. In essence, she was still a person who loved to enjoy life. She wanted to bask in the sun every day, go around, eat and drink, give the little cuties a bath, do some work that didn't tire her, and then go to bed on time. This was the life she liked.
"And am I not already the vice-captain?"
But that is only in name. A leader should not only be respected but also feared. She has not yet achieved this.
But Ye Xiao really didn't want her to work hard. Since she didn't want to, he thought about it and said, "Okay, as long as you like it, but there is something I want you to do."
Lin Tantan immediately sat up straight: "What's the matter?"
"I want you to make an example of me."
…
Knowing that a small disturbance had been stirred up in the Ning City base, Min Yande was very satisfied and stopped paying attention to what happened afterwards. He also didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters and focused all his energy on dealing with Chen Xing.
So he didn't know about the Zhengyang Brigade's outrageous actions, and they actually used the rumors he created to promote a woman to a very high position. He also didn't know that in Ye Xiao's plan, that woman only needed a chance to truly establish her authority, and for this authority, Ye Xiao chose Min Yande, who was as annoying as a sticky plaster and kept making small moves.
He knew nothing at the moment, and only discussed with Chen Xianyi where to ambush Chen Xing and how many people would be needed.
As a big boss in the capital base, Min Yande naturally has many experts under his command. It is not difficult for him to ambush Chen Xing with his deliberate plan. The problem is that Ye Xiao knew his move in advance.
Ye Xiao has accumulated some connections over the years, and these connections did not disappear with his departure. Before, he had been getting information from the capital base through just a few people, but this time it was a little different.
The news that Ye Xiao had modified the divine machine and repelled the zombie tide added a bit of bright and majestic light to him. To be more precise, everyone who saw him thought that he had a bright future, so people who had previously simply looked at him for old friendships were more willing to do him a favor. This time, it was a person who stayed by Min Yande's side who was willing to be his spy and revealed Min Yande's plan to him.
At the same time, Ye Xiao arranged four mercenaries with Chen Xing, although those four people mainly followed Cai Chengliang.
On the day the incident happened, Chen Xing had to leave the base for something, and Ye Xiao asked the four people to persuade Cai Chengliang to go out with him. When the ambush happened, the four people rescued Chen Xing. In the end, only Chen Xing, Cai Chengliang and a few others were left alive.
Chen Xing fled back to the base in a panic, and then someone sent him a recording of Min Yande and others plotting to harm him. The recording was divided into several segments, one of which included Chen Xianyi's voice.
Chen Xing sneered and first captured Chen Xianyi quietly, followed by various tortures that could not be told to outsiders.
Because she was the most critical person to save Chen Xing, Ni Lan was highly valued by Chen Xing. She gave Chen Xing a tip, and then there were various conspiracies and arrangements that lasted for several months.
"It's not easy to eliminate someone like Min Yande. He has a deep foundation in the past six months and has many capable people under him. If we want to deal with him, we must gradually disintegrate his strength. Chen Xing is the best entry point."
Ye Xiao said to Lin Tantan: "They have been partners since the beginning of the end of the world. Min Yande is one level lower than Chen Xing. In order to please Chen Xing, Min Yande forced us to let Cai Chengliang go. Although this matter was resolved by Min Yande later and there was no conflict between the two sides, it is an indisputable fact that Min Yande was weaker than Chen Xing from the beginning."
"In the past six months of dividing up population resources, the two have gradually become evenly matched, and have gradually become the two largest giants in their camp. They may not want the other to disappear forever so that they can eat the cake alone, but neither of them is completely sure of it."
"I gave them a reason to make a fuss. Min Yande is a man who is eager for quick success and is very suspicious. Once he feels that Chen Xing is going to attack him, he will definitely strike first. Chen Xing certainly didn't expect that he would be so crazy at the first move, and it would be easy for him to fall for him. As long as he is not dead and has prepared himself, Min Yande will have no chance. And how could Chen Xing, who almost lost his life, let Min Yande go?"
"Chen Xing is older, has more experience, and is higher in rank than Min Yande. He may not be able to deal with Min Yande by himself, but as long as he helps others, it will be easy to find people who are willing to join him in dealing with Min Yande."
Ye Xiao sighed, "In the past two months, Min Yande has lost a lot of territory and manpower. In order to build good relationships with some of the subordinate research institutes, he captured a lot of lone psychics and sent them in. Chen Xing has been collecting evidence. Once the evidence is conclusive, expelling him from the party will not be a problem."
Lin Tan Tan asked, "Just expulsion from the party?"
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "It was my suggestion. Even if a centipede dies, it will not die. No matter how down and out he is, he still has a trump card in his hand. Forcing him into a dead end will only cause him to rebound. If you expel him from the party and drive him out of the capital base, he won't be able to be so decisive."
Lin Tan Tan stared at him blankly.
Ye Xiao took a sip of water. Lin Tantan made the lemon and passion fruit water himself. The lemon grew on a mutant lemon tree. The passion fruit was kept by an unknown space ability user and sold at the base market. The people who bought it gave it to Lin Tantan as a thank-you gift to the doctor after the patient was discharged from the hospital.
Then she asked Jiang Xiaotian to help her download some information, and she started to tinker with it herself. The final product tasted very good because it was made with honey, sour and sweet. It was chilled in ice water, and drinking a glass of it on a hot day was refreshing.
Ye Xiao took a sip of water and looked at the fair and clean girl sitting under the shade of the tree without a trace of sweat on her body. He felt that she was indeed more suitable for such a leisurely and relaxing life.
Lin Tan Tan was waiting for him to continue: "Can we really drive him out smoothly?"
Ye Xiao said: "Yes, as long as Fan Wuyong cooperates."
Fan Wuyong is the name of Commander Fan.
Lin Tan frowned and said, "I don't like this person."
Compared to Min Yande, she hated this commander more because he wanted to kill Ye Xiao without knowing the truth. Ye Xiao was not dead, but the cannon really hit him, but Ye Xiao didn't care and cooperated with him.
She took a sip of passion fruit water, puffed up her cheeks and silently struggled with the seeds inside, eating every grain before spitting them out, leaving a small pile on the table.
Ye Xiao didn't say much to her about Fan Wuyong, but said: "It won't be long before Min Yande will be kicked out. Are you ready?"
The author has something to say: I don't know if this is clear. They are not saints. From the beginning, I never said that Tan Tan was a selfless and kind person. She didn't pretend to be anything. In this world, she only cares about Ye Xiao, but within her ability, she is also willing to do something. In addition to respecting life and not wanting to see unnecessary death, a very important reason is that this is Ye Xiao's world. It is not necessarily true that she is kind. It is not easy for her to live, so it is not easy for her to sympathize with other people's experiences. She has a cold and cruel side in her heart.
And because of her own experience, she particularly dislikes people who put all their hopes on others and don't make any effort themselves, so she doesn't save everyone.
Also, if you want to analyze a person from the words, don't be too one-sided and only analyze certain actions or a few words. That's it, I'll only explain it once. Some people may still disagree, but this is the protagonist and story in my heart. I'm sorry if I said so much and affected everyone's reading. Everyone reads the article for fun.
