One of these three is the second in command of a gang. He is an earth-type mutant with strong power, but he has a despicable hobby, which is to torture and kill young girls. It is said that young girls often go missing in the area where he is. Due to his power and status, no one can touch him, but there are many people who hate him to the core.
One is the captain of a mercenary team. He is tough and loyal, but few people know that he was once surrounded by a group of zombies. Due to lack of food, he secretly killed one of his teammates to eat the meat. After that, he became addicted to eating human flesh and often killed people for meat in private.
The other is the son of a high-ranking official. Before the end of the world, he had killed or maimed several people in fights, but because his father protected him, he only paid compensation. After the end of the world, he became even more violent and cruel, killing anyone he disliked at will.
In the eyes of those who know the situation, these three people are all evil people, but either they are very powerful or they are surrounded by many guards. Ordinary people can't deal with them at all, and extraordinary people don't care about such trivial matters, so they have been at large until today.
However, these three people died on the same night, and were tortured to varying degrees and in different ways before their deaths. From the scene, it seemed that they had not put up any effective resistance, and people nearby did not hear any noise. It can be seen that the murderer was much stronger than them, which is really frightening.
Some sharp-sighted people linked the three cases together, but they could not find out anything. In addition, the people who died deserved to die, and except for their relatives and friends, no one was willing to investigate further and some even applauded and celebrated.
As for the fact that four people disappeared overnight from Chen Xing's place, it was certainly very suspicious, but there was no way to verify it.
It was not until a long time later that someone discovered the four mercenaries at the Zhengyang base and realized that the four had been Ye Xiao's men for a long time. They also learned that three of them had deep hatreds against the three victims. Only then did they finally connect Ye Xiao with the three tragedies and know that on that night, this man had acted recklessly in the capital base and took three lives at will.
Some people even wondered if Min Yande's defeat was due to the other party's manipulation behind the scenes.
But that is all a matter for the future. Now, the departure of the four mercenaries has had a significant impact on the structure of the capital base.
Cai Chengliang relied on these four masters to follow him, and he has been somewhat arrogant since he returned to the capital base. When Chen Xing and his faction were fighting against Cai Chengliang, they naturally offended many people, including many people who were not so closely connected with Min Yande but had interests in him. If they couldn't touch Chen Xing, could they not touch Cai Chengliang, who seemed to be the culprit
So not long after the four masters around him disappeared, Cai Chengliang was assassinated in an alley.
Chen Xing destroyed Chen Xianyi himself, and now he has no grandson either. He is really without a successor. He is very shocked. Because their camp lost Min Yande, and Min Yande's power was divided by people from other camps, their camp suddenly became much weaker. After those people swallowed Min Yande, those who were originally good friends with Chen Xing also changed their faces and turned against Chen Xing.
Chen Xing was exhausted from fighting back, and soon his power was reduced. He went from being a big boss in the capital to the leader of a third-rate organization. In the end, he could not keep the magic machine that was almost broken down by research, and it was taken away by someone else. Since then, the capital base has taken on a new pattern.
When the capital base began to become turbulent, the group of seven went south smoothly, flying and stopping many times before finally arriving in Su City.
However, this place has long been devastated and deserted. Except for the strange animals and zombies jumping around in the ruins, the entire city is filled with an atmosphere of decay and desolation, without a trace of vitality.
At this time, Bai Cheng had already sent a list of possible bases, gathering areas, and safe zones that the survivors of Su City might go to after evacuating Su City.
There are as many as seven or eight of them. They are not sure where the Lin family went, but they are arranged in order of possibility from highest to lowest.
They spent two days going to a small base closest to them and the one that the Lin family was most likely to go to, but they happened to catch up with the migration of this small base.
Or rather, collapse.
This small base is located near Su City. After Su City completely declined, this small base became increasingly unsustainable. Finally, people in the base left for other places. Now is the time for the last group of people to leave.
What they saw was a chaotic scene with people dragging suitcases, carrying bags and holding children. Those with better conditions could drive, but most people could only walk.
This reminded Lin Tantan of those survivors who had fled to the Ning City base. They had also traveled a long way, exhausted and in a miserable state, and had experienced countless dangers before arriving in Ning City.
However, even if they successfully arrived at a new location, they could not relax immediately. There were still many problems to face. Just to enter the gate of the base, they had to hand over certain supplies. After entering the base, they had to exchange everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation with their own resources.
But even so, being able to find a safe and reliable base is already a great fortune. How many people have died on the way to find a new home.
They asked around and inquired whether there had ever been any member of the Lin family in the base. Bai Cheng had investigated Lin Tantan before and found out that her parents were still alive and she had an older brother, whose names were also written down.
However, the people who were asked had no recollection of several of the names. This base had 200,000 to 300,000 people in its heyday, and there was no electronic entry system, and even names were not registered in detail. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult to find a few people.
Then they went to several other places, but found nothing. Finally, Lin Tantan gave up the search and suggested going back, so the group returned to the Ning City base.
I left at the end of September and came back in mid-October. There haven't been many changes in the Ning City base, except that there are more and more new people coming to the base recently. The apocalypse has entered its tenth month. Many bases and safe zones have been established, but they have also disbanded for various reasons. The survivors have chosen to join other bases. The Ning City base is now famous, so naturally more and more people are coming here.
The area under the management of Zhengyang Brigade has expanded from three to five. The infrastructure construction has been very active and has hardly stopped. The grain in the planting area has been harvested once, and the new grain has just been stored in the warehouse and planted again in the fields.
At the end of October, the new machine was finally completed after four months of rush work.
That day Lin Tantan also went to the factory to take a look.
The new magic aircraft is similar to the old one in appearance, but its functions and performance are much stronger. Of the two magic aircraft, one was given to Lu Jianping as promised, and the other one was taken away by the Zhengyang Brigade as soon as it was received. The long-awaited inspection team left on it. They were going to inspect the site selection of five bases, which must be decided as soon as possible, as they would move after the New Year.
This time, Ye Xiao, Bai Cheng, Cheng Qinan, and several other professionals left together. Even though Ye Xiao was often on "business trips" in the past, Bai Cheng was always there. But this time when the two giants left together, the Zhengyang base suddenly seemed a lot emptier, which made people a little uncomfortable. However, the two deputy captains Lin Tantan and Xu Qin were still there, and immediately took on the responsibility of management.
The best part was that Lin Tantan had just established a reputation as a fierce man, so commanding the Zhengyang Brigade was a piece of cake for him.
At first, someone who was either ill-informed or really blind came over and said he wanted to order a magic machine. That was fine, but his attitude was not good, so Lin Tantan pushed him back. The other person directly said with a mocking sentence: "Is it the turn of a woman to be the boss of the Zhengyang Brigade?"
Then he was knocked down by Lin Tantan and hung in front of the compound gate for three days and three nights, almost becoming a dried corpse. Some guys who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the factory to steal secrets or sabotage were also caught by Lin Tantan and hung up.
After that, no one dared to act rashly.
On this day, a strange man came to the Ning City base.
The reason why he was said to be strange was that although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he had his hair tied in a bun on his head, his face was clear and his posture was straight, and he did not look like an ordinary person. Although he looked weathered from traveling, his temperament as an otherworldly master could not be concealed, and it was easy for people to notice him when he stood in the crowd.
The man looked up at the increasingly tall and majestic walls of the Ning City Base and sighed softly, "As expected, the fortune is at its peak and unstoppable."
In the eyes of others, the Ning City base was crowded with people, densely populated, popular, and well-ordered, thriving, and developing rapidly. But in this person's eyes, he could see a tangible vitality shrouding the base, especially in one place. It looked pleasing, but also very abnormal.
The girl beside him didn't understand this, but looking at the solid and tall city walls, the people queuing to get in, and thinking back to the chaotic state of Tsu City, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "What should we do? Will this become the most prosperous place in the future?"
The man shook his head: "The fortune here lies in the people, not the place. Let's go and meet Doctor Lin."
Lin Tantan thought he had misheard: "A Taoist priest wants to see me? A Taoist priest?"
For a long time, there have been many people who wanted to see her, of all kinds, but there has never been a Taoist priest.
What is this for? The profession of Taoist priests no longer exists in later generations, but it still existed three hundred years ago. In the national library of later generations, there are still many people who call themselves monks, such as Taoist priests of this era, explaining what this doomsday catastrophe is, such as the collapse of heaven and earth, the severance of dragon veins, the end of the fate of various creatures, and the emergence of evil spirits and so on.
Those who believe it believe it very much, while those who don’t believe it don’t believe a single word of it. Lin Tantan is the kind of person who can’t understand it at all.
However, she did have a low level of education, and spent the little time she had trying to survive, improving her professional skills, and chasing stars. She had no time to study any monk's thesis.
Now, when she heard that a Taoist priest wanted to see her, she felt curious and a little nervous. This kind of person seemed to be mysterious. She had been completely insulated from such things before, but time travel and resurrection had happened. She herself was the embodiment of mystery. Wouldn't the Taoist priest be able to see her origins
After hesitating for a while, she still didn't plan to meet the other party. Ye Xiao was not there, and if something really happened, she would have no idea what to do.
I just asked someone to go and see what was going on with the Taoist priest. The person who came said that this person had set up a fortune-telling stall in the base, and quite a few people patronized him because he had been quite accurate in his predictions. However, his income was almost zero, because not only was he accurate in his predictions, he also told people how miserable their future would be, how pitiful their second half of life would be, and even that they would be covered in blood and would not live long.
The truth is probably the truth. After all, it is not easy to live a good life in this world. But what people want to hear is that they will be rich and have no worries about food and clothing in the future. But you tell the truth so bluntly. Who would be willing to listen to it? If the customers are not happy, how can they give money, oh no, give supplies
Lin Tantan felt a little complicated after hearing what he said. It seemed that he was indeed a man with real abilities.
Then this man with real ability came again the next day, saying that he wanted to see her again, and asked someone to bring her a message: Things that are stolen are not yours after all.
Lin Tantan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. What did this mean? This mysterious person was indeed extraordinary. Could he have seen through her without even meeting her
She hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to meet the person.
Then she saw a guy with a bun on his head, who looked young and handsome, but also had an unfathomable temperament.
But because he was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and black pants, and they were a bit dirty, it looked very out of place, and his aura as a master was immediately compromised.
Lin Tan Tan looked at him obscurely, and looked twice at his pair of deep and mysterious eyes, and said calmly: "Who are you and what do you want to say? We don't know each other at all."
The other person was also looking at her with a look of surprise on his face. After looking for a long time, he showed an expression of "as expected" and sighed, "As expected."
Lin Tantan's heart skipped a beat again, and he pursed his lips and said coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it. My time is very precious."
The other party asked: "You are also a fellow traveler, right?"
Lin Tan Tan: “?”
"I can't understand your face at all. Your past and future are all blurry. This has never happened before. You must have used some method to change your fate, or covered up something." The man with the bun had a frank expression and a determined look. He spoke in a calm tone and sighed, "You are obviously very skilled in Taoism to be able to do this. It's no wonder that you can steal the luck of others or even the whole place."
Lin Tan Tan: “…”
Lin Tan Tan: “???”
The author has something to say: Lin Tantan: What is he talking about
Man with a bun: I didn't expect to encounter such an unfathomable evil heretic. The people of the world are in danger (heavy sighing face)
Ye Xiao: ... Roll, roll, roll!
