Lin Tantan, who thought that the other party was a master and that he was seen through, said: "..."
Lin Tantan: Where did this lunatic come from
She said, "What did you say I stole? Luck?" What was that
The psychopath on the other side said, "You're doing it so obviously, don't you think anyone will notice?"
Lin Tan Tan looked at him and said slowly, "We should base our words and deeds on evidence. You came here for no reason and said I did something bad, so I did it?"
At this moment, she looked at the bun on the guy's head opposite her and felt more and more displeased. He looked simply stupid. The handsome face she thought just now now seemed to have become stupid.
I seemed a little stupid now, for being so nervous and serious just now.
Before the man with the bun spoke, the inconspicuous girl beside him spoke up: "Stop pretending. We all know what Jin City should be like. Now it is in chaos and smog, while the Ning City base, which should have been ordinary, has developed so well. Can you say that you have no hand in this?"
"Min Yande should have been powerful for a few more years, but now he died so early. You came all the way here to give him the final blow. Are you afraid that he will make a comeback and take away the luck you stole, or do harm to you, a thief?"
"And the leader of the Ning City base, he shouldn't be so obedient. You've been trying to please him in order to get good treatment for your Zhengyang Brigade."
When Lin Tantan originally heard the words “We all know very well what Jinshi should be like”, his heart skipped a beat. For a moment he thought, could it be that this person was also a time traveler and knew the historical development just like him
But the more she listened, the more something seemed wrong. She looked at them suspiciously, "What did you say? How did you know that?"
The girl looked at the man with the bun with pride and admiration.
The man with the bun looks like an expert.
Lin Tan Tan: “…”
Lin Tan Tan: "Oh, so it was calculated by fortune-telling?"
Seeing her nonchalant expression, the girl said unhappily, "Master Lu has profound cultivation skills, and he has never made a mistake in fortune-telling."
"I don't understand things like fortune-telling, but I guess nothing is immutable. There are so many unexpected things in the world. Master Lu... can you guarantee that after you tell a person's fortune, his life will follow the trajectory you calculated?"
The girl was very angry, but the man with the bun was not. He said, "A person's fate is naturally affected by many factors, but the country's situation is different. After the end of the world, the dragon veins of the whole country are either dormant, broken, or dead. Only in Jinshi are there dragon veins that need to be protected, gathering the last bit of spiritual energy. Only by guarding that bit of spiritual energy and using that place as a starting point to gradually awaken and repair the dragon veins, can the whole country have a day of revival."
Lin Tantan was confused: "So?"
The man with the bun looked serious. "However, the last bit of spiritual energy is dissipating day by day. The decline of Jin City is becoming more and more obvious. Once Jin City is destroyed, there will be no hope for the country. So no matter what you were doing before, you must stop now and don't touch Jin City anymore. Even if you force Ning City to rise, it will not be able to prosper for a long time."
Before Lin Tantan could completely understand the other party's thoughts and was still thinking about the principle behind this strategy to save the country, he was so angry that he laughed.
She moved against Jin City? She was just a mortal, what could she do to a city
She taunted, "Others have bad luck, and you think I stole their luck. Jin City is declining while Ning City is thriving, and you think I brought the spiritual energy from Jin City to Ning City?"
"Why isn't it that the people in Jin City are not capable enough and have created a mess themselves, while everyone in Ning City has united and worked hard to get to where we are today?"
She looked at the two of them. "It's not like I haven't been to Jinshi before. Just look at that messy bear. Even if there really is a dragon coiled there, it would still torment me to death."
"The national situation is not easily affected? If the living people don't work hard, can a place turn itself into a paradise on earth just by relying on a so-called national situation and dragon vein?"
She was full of ridicule, making both of them look unhappy. The girl stood up and said, "You are making excuses. It's obviously you who did something! Master Lu has calculated it. You are an anomaly. It's you who changed everything!"
Lin Tan raised his eyebrows. This guy with a bun really has some skills, but so what
Is it because you can't see through her true origins
It is said that Jinshi is the last hope, and it is indeed true in history. The Zhengyang base is located in Jinshi, and the other two major bases are also nearby. It has become the heart of the country, so naturally its fortune is good. But this time, Ye Xiao is not going there. He stayed in Ningshi at first, and then went to the northwest. So Jinshi fell into decline and was eliminated
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. So the so-called national situation is not determined by people? If the people in Jinshi are not capable of making the city better, who can they blame? Should they blame others for developing too well in other places
Although she was an outsider, she could not deny that the changes these two people talked about had nothing to do with her, but she was sure that she had never changed her luck. Everything she had today was the result of her and Ye Xiao's hard work.
The man with the bun was simply using his own theory to explain these changes, thinking that reality was different from what he expected, which meant someone had used extraordinary means. As for this person, it was naturally himself, the person he couldn't see through.
Lin Tan Tan felt like a huge pot had fallen on his head.
She leaned back and sneered, "First of all, it's not that Master Lu has calculated something and that something is supposed to happen. Rather than saying that I have changed some established facts, it's better to say that everyone's actions are changing the world all the time. Secondly, you said that I am an anomaly, what is an anomaly? Times create heroes. In this era, talented people emerge in large numbers. Even ordinary people who are forced into desperate situations may explode and rise. It's not that you are an anomaly because you didn't calculate or see through it. If you are really so capable that you can see everyone in the world clearly and calculate everything clearly, then why didn't you calculate the end of the world and notify the country in advance to prepare?"
The man with the bun looked shocked.
He didn't notice any signs before the apocalypse broke out, and this has always been a knot in his heart.
Lin Tantan looked at his expression and thought, is this really a Taoist priest who cares about his country and his people
She stood up and said, "If you are fine, go ahead. I don't mind your offense today, but I won't say anything if it happens again next time."
She walked out first and saw a group of people surrounding something and making a lot of noise, as if they were trying to catch something.
Everyone turned around and someone shouted, "It's a cat. A cat that can grow big!"
Lin Tantan was still in amazement when a figure ran out from behind him, shouting, "Fatty!"
It's that girl.
After the circle of people slightly separated, Lin Tan Tan also saw clearly the thing they were surrounding. It was a creature about the size of a large dog, with dark black lines on its gray-black fur, and some yellow-brown spots. Judging from its appearance, it should be a cat. Because of its huge size, it looked very wild. It was lowering its body and roaring at the people around it, with the aura of a big cat.
When the big cat saw the girl appear, it pounced on her. The girl and the cat hugged each other in an instant, as if they had gone through a life-and-death separation.
Lin Tan Tan narrowed his eyes slightly. Retractable beast
She had only heard of this thing appearing in Jinshi, and the two people just now also mentioned Jinshi.
So they are from Tsu
Soon the place attracted more people. Daying also came over. He recognized the girl when he saw her and confirmed Lin Tantan's guess that this girl was the little girl with a retractable cat he had seen in Jin City.
Lin Tan Tan asked, "Oh? So you are from Jinshi. That's why you rushed here after you found out that Jinshi's spiritual energy disappeared?" She looked at the man with the bun. "What do you mean by worrying about the country and the people, or the national situation and dragon veins? In the end, it's because you have damaged your own interests."
The man with the bun changed his expression: "That's not the case."
Lin Tantan didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so he stretched out his hands and tied him up, including the girl and the big cat. He called Qin Han and asked him to lock them up and watch them carefully until Ye Xiao came back to deal with them.
The man with the bun and the girl were both confused. They had just been told to let them leave, so why were they suddenly being arrested now
Lin Tan Tan had previously thought that they were the kind of people who cared about the world, because they had some ability and saw that something was wrong with her - although they didn't see the point, and they blamed her for some things that they thought were different from what they had calculated.
If it were just that, she wouldn't really care whether she caught them or not. After all, their intentions were quite righteous.
But now she found out that they were from another force. If they felt that the fortune of their city and even their organization was seized by her and the Zhengyang Brigade in the future, who knew what kind of trouble would arise in the future. This was not just her problem, so she should leave it to Ye Xiao to consider.
The girl panicked when she was tied up. She saw something on her body, which looked like a mysterious green ribbon. She shouted to her pet, "Chubby!"
The big cat was very understanding and immediately opened its mouth to call out. Lin Tan was quick to act and immediately threw a ball of dirt into its mouth.
The howl that was about to come out turned into a whimpering sound as if it was almost choking to death. The majestic big cat suddenly struggled and jumped on the ground, scratching the ground with its claws and twisting its body. It seemed that it had finally swallowed the lump of dirt after a long time. It lay on the ground weakly, and when it looked at Lin Tantan, its eyes were a little timid.
Lin Tantan walked up to it and looked at the big guy with some curiosity. She wanted to touch it, but it immediately shrank back. However, Lin Tantan still touched it... A hand full of fur, her whole hand was stuck in it but she still couldn't touch the flesh. The fur was too thick. The little hamster in her pocket was so scared that it slid down her collar and ran behind her neck, hiding in her hair, chirping. Lin Tantan said to the big cat, "Shrink your body and become smaller."
The big cat whimpered, looked at her with its big amber eyes, and then became smaller and smaller. The green belt tied to it also became smaller along with its body. It still couldn't break free, so it curled up and looked even more pitiful.
The girl looked on in disbelief as her cat was subdued in an instant, the last bit of hope in her heart shattered.
Pangpang is her biggest support, and she lets it hide in the dark. Once Lin Tantan wants to do something bad to them, she will give a hint and let it come to rescue them. But now Pangpang was easily subdued, and her biggest trump card is gone.
Not only that, Lin Tantan also said: "You can take the person away, and I will keep the cat."
"What do you want to do to Pangpang?!" the girl screamed.
Lin Tantan curled his lips at her and said, "Your cat may look scary, but it doesn't have strong self-protection ability. You brought it out like this, and didn't even keep it by your side to protect it. It seems like you didn't care about it that much, but now you care about it."
"For me, this is the first time I've seen a cat that can change size, so of course I have to cut it open inch by inch to see its physiological structure."
She scared the little girl so much that her face turned pale. She waved her hand and asked someone to take the two people away. On the way she was taken away, the girl was still shouting for Fatty to let her go. She shouted so miserably that someone covered her mouth. The rest of the people looked at Lin Tan with strange eyes.
It seems that what was said outside was true. Their Captain Lin really became brutal after going out.
Maybe he is naturally so majestic and cold, but he is just extra gentle to himself
People couldn't help but recall that one night in the past, there were ghost howlings in the clinic. It was said that someone saw Captain Lin walking around with a bloody knife. His eyes and smile were so scary that everyone who was on duty at the gate that night was scared.
In short, as these people spread and guessed, Lin Tantan's image became more and more majestic.
Lin Tantan picked up the cat at his feet. It looked big and fluffy, but not as heavy as he had imagined. Looking closely, the fur was tangled and a little dirty. Lin Tantan pinched it, and the cat was frightened and trembled. It didn't dare to resist. Lin Tantan pinched it, but there was not much meat.
She shook her head: "How could a cat like you make such a miserable living?" Shouldn't it have bright and soft fur, a lazy and proud look, waiting for its owner to feed it with various dried fish every day, and absolutely not working unless it is fed
Thinking that the girl just now obviously wanted the cat to do something, she asked people to pay attention to the mutant beasts around the base to see if there was any gathering tide of beasts.
Then she carried the cat back to her yard on the hillside.
The mutant mice were all soaking in the pool. The weather had turned cooler, but these furry guys were not afraid of the cold at all and their love of water remained unchanged. Several of them were even climbing up and down on the black swan, having a great time with it, while the white swan was still as aloof and arrogant as ever, enjoying itself leisurely.
Smelling the strange scent, the mutant beasts raised their necks and turned their heads, only to find it was a cat. Before the swans could react, the mutant rats had already become agitated. They climbed out of the pool and pounced on each other, pushing and shoving each other, squeaking and screaming, and took fighting stances.
If it wasn't Lin Tan Tan who was holding the cat, they would have rushed over long ago.
The tabby cat was frightened by so many mice and struggled in Lin Tantan's hands.
Lin Tan Tan: "Huh? Aren't you supposed to be able to command mutant beasts? Why are you so scared?"
Moreover, when a cat and a mouse meet on a narrow road, it should be the mouse that is afraid of the cat.
Lin Tantan brought the cat here to try if it could control her little cuties. If it could, she would never let the cat go, even if she didn't want to kill it.
Well, if it can control other mutant beasts, it will definitely not let them go.
And now it seems that her little cuties are indeed not ordinary little cuties. The white swan just glanced at this side and turned its head away without paying attention, while the black swan ran up and wanted to peck the cat with its big flat beak, and the mutant rats started fighting directly after Lin Tan put the cat down.
For a moment, the cat's screams echoed across the hillside.
The people at the foot of the mountain heard this voice: "… "
Captain Lin is indeed very violent.
Lin Tan Tan reluctantly separated the cat and the mouse: "Alright, alright, I know you are strong in fighting, stop it, you have scratched the other person bald."
Seeing this pitiful cat with several bald spots and skin that was almost torn apart by scratches, curled up in the corner, she felt a little sorry for it, so she sent it a stream of energy to repair its skin injuries, and then handed it over to...
Who should I give it to
There is no department related to animal training in the Zhengyang Brigade.
Looking at the tabby cat that threw itself at her feet and refused to move after she gave it a burst of energy, she thought for a moment and decided to keep it for herself for now.
So there was a cat-and-mouse game on the hillside every day. It was fine when Lin Tantan was around, but it was like a cat-and-mouse frenzy when she was not around.
The cat coveted the fish and shrimp in the pond, but every time it tried to get close, it would be pounced on and beaten by a group of mutant rats. It was useless even if it became a larger size. The only difference was that its larger size made it easier for the mutant rats to beat it. So after trying once, the tabby cat decided not to grow bigger anymore. Every time it was beaten, it would shrink itself as small as possible and was often worried that it could not get smaller.
Just like this, more than ten days passed, and the expedition team came back. The first time Lin Tan Tan learned that the magic plane had appeared, he ran out and watched the magic plane gradually fly over and land. The cabin door opened, and people walked out one by one. Ye Xiao was the last one to come out.
He was still the tall and handsome man. It seemed like a long time had passed even though they hadn't seen each other for half a month. The longing in her heart suddenly overflowed. Lin Tan looked at him and smiled, but did not rush to get close to him.
Ye Xiao's eyes immediately fell on her, and his calm eyes suddenly sparkled like stars, with a hint of smile. He announced that the meeting would start in an hour and dismissed everyone. He came to her and raised his hand to touch her hair: "I haven't seen you for half a month..."
Lin Tantan looked at him with bright eyes and listened to him say after a moment's hesitation: "I think I've gained some weight."
Lin Tantan's eyelids drooped: "...Huh?"
Ye Xiao laughed and reached out to hug her: "It's been so long since we last met, do you miss me?"
Lin Tan Tan subconsciously looked to the side. Everyone had dispersed, and those who were paying attention to them immediately turned their eyes away, as if they had seen nothing.
Just see it, it's not something shameful. Lin Tantan also smiled and hugged Ye Xiao back, sniffing the familiar warm breath of this man and rubbing his face: "I thought about it, I thought you would come back after a while, are you done?"
"Okay, let's choose Liang City. After all, it's the most suitable place." Ye Xiao let go of her and took her hand and walked away: "Has anything happened these days?"
"Yes." Lin Tantan told him about the two people in Jinshi, "I don't know how to deal with them, so I'll leave them for you to come back."
Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes: "I see, the cat is left with you?"
"Well, I have tested the cat's ability these days. Although it was suppressed by the mutant rats, it did have a commanding effect on the mutant beasts outside. I think we can make use of it. Let's set up a beast taming department in our team, tame this cat, and let it help us deal with other mutant beasts."
"You're not going to keep the cat?"
"Are you asking me if I want to raise it myself? No, no." Lin Tan Tan waved his hand, "It doesn't quite meet my requirements."
Ye Xiao was a little surprised: "What do you want?"
"What are the characteristics of the ones I raise?"
Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Stupid?... Stupid?"
Lin Tan Tan: "… It's confident and cute! This cat looks fierce, but it's actually a little timid and has a soft personality. If it stays with me, it will only be bullied."
Soon Ye Xiao experienced what it meant to be bullied.
When he got up the hill, he saw a tabby cat being beaten by a group of mice. It was really miserable. It was obvious that the mice were not ruthless and seemed to be playing around, but the tabby cat was also beaten a little bit. There were several mutant mice that were bigger than it, and it was hard to tell which was the cat and which was the mouse.
Lin Tan Tan hurried over to separate them and scolded them, "Why are you bullying others again?"
A group of mutant rats didn't want to leave, but when they saw Ye Xiao, they ran away like real rats seeing a cat.
Ye Xiao: “…”
Ye Xiao walked over. The cat was still lying on the ground with its two paws covering its head. He grabbed its collar and lifted it up. The cat's blurry eyes met a pair of unfamiliar human eyes.
The tabby cat: “… meow.” Its biological instinct immediately made it make a soft, flattering sound.
Ye Xiao: "He's a bit soft-tempered. Who do you think would be a better person to take care of this cat?"
"Just think about it yourself. I don't have any ideas." Lin Tantan also went over to tease the cat and scratched her chin. The tabby cat squinted her eyes with a bit of enjoyment, and it could be seen that the cat was quite close to and trusted her.
Ye Xiao looked at it, thought for a moment, and soon came up with an idea.
A meeting was held soon, and it was announced that the future base location would be selected as Liang City, and the relocation time was discussed, and the final time was set as March next year.
At the meeting, Ye Xiao also announced the existence of the tabby cat and formally established a taming team. Zhong Xiong was the team leader. He was originally in charge of the armory, but that position was given to Daying, who was now in charge of this new team.
Lin Tantan was a little surprised by this decision, but not too surprised. In the original team of eight, Ye Baijiang, Cheng Xuqin all had their own clear and irreplaceable positions, Mei Baisheng was assigned to the combat team, leaving Xu Li and Zhong Xiong.
Xu Li doesn't like to communicate with others, and now he is no longer Lin Tantan's bodyguard. He is still touching the threshold of wind-related supernatural powers and seems to have gained some understanding.
Zhong Xiong manages the armory. This position is very important, but not irreplaceable. Moreover, now that general weapons can cause less and less damage to zombies, the role of the weapons research and development department is becoming more and more important. The armory is a bit like an auxiliary department of the weapons research and development department.
Ye Xiao didn't want the former big brother of the team to remain in obscurity.
If the animal taming team does a good job, the effect will definitely be significant and noticeable enough.
As for Daying, he has just joined the Zhengyang Brigade, and it is not appropriate for him to be given too high a position. He can take over the armory first and make other arrangements later.
After the meeting, Lin Tan Tan took Zhong Xiong to hand over the tabby cat. The tabby cat seemed to know that it was going to be taken away. It tugged at Lin Tan Tan's trouser legs and looked at her hesitantly: "Meow."
Lin Tantan squatted down and touched its head, inputting a stream of wood energy into its forehead: "Okay, follow your new master from now on, I will visit you often."
She gave Zhong Xiong a bag of dried fish. She caught them from the pond with a water ball, killed them with her gold power, and then baked them with fire energy. "This little guy likes to eat this. You can build a fish pond for it. It has a big appetite. It has only gained a little weight after being raised here for so long. And I haven't figured out its abilities yet. You can develop them yourselves."
Zhong Xiong had heard that on the day the cat was caught, a group of mutant beasts had gathered outside the base, and it was basically certain that it was attracted by the cat. Afterwards, Lin Tantan also took it out twice. It was indeed capable, but the cat itself did not seem to know how to use it. It basically just summoned the herd and then started fighting.
Lin Tan Tan thought for a while and said, "Also, although this cat is very capable, it is quite weak and doesn't seem to be very courageous. It must be well protected." When she said this and thought of the scene of the cat being beaten every day these days, she felt a little embarrassed to say this and couldn't help coughing awkwardly.
Zhong Xiong carefully picked up the cat, stroked its soft fur with his thick paw, and said with a smile, "We will take good care of it."
The cat was carried away, and it kept turning its head to look at Lin Tantan from a distance, before finally retracting its head and clasping Zhong Xiong's arms. Lin Tantan sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed, and then looked at the mice who ran away and watched the cat being carried away, and who seemed bored and even a little unhappy after returning: "You bullied it when it was here, but now that it's gone, are you happy?"
Mutant rats: "Squeak!"
"Well, you can visit it often if it wants, and you must bring gifts when you visit it."
The mutant rats: ... all looked at the fish swimming in the pond.
At this time, Ye Xiao was looking at the man in front of him, his eyes sweeping over the somewhat messy bun on his head. In Lin Tantan's narration, this man was called the Bun Man.
His actual name is Lu Xin, an orphan. He followed a Taoist master when he was young and learned a lot of skills because of his good talent. After the end of the world, his master died and he could no longer stay in the Taoist temple, so he has been alone since then.
Lu Xin was startled when he saw Ye Xiao, and then his pupils shrank suddenly: "You—"
Ye Xiao said calmly: "Why, you said Tan Tan was an anomaly, now are you going to say that I am also an anomaly and stole your so-called luck?"
"You..." Lu Xin was shocked. After a moment, he slowly said, "You are not an outlier."
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, waiting to see how he would talk.
He had seen Ye Xiao's photos before. Be it the Zhengyang Brigade or the Ning City Base, he did not take this abnormal prosperity seriously, because he knew that Ye Xiao, as the core figure of these two forces, was not going to live long.
Because he only had a photo and didn't see the real person, he couldn't predict it accurately. He just vaguely knew that he would be miserable. But now that he saw the real person, it was completely different. A person who should have died in his prime with all his relatives and friends gone, now has an extremely good fortune. Not only does he no longer have any signs of a short life, but he even has a faint purple aura on his body, which is indescribably precious.
Purple Air is the imperial aura and auspicious air. Naturally, there is no emperor in this era, and people cannot become auspicious signs, but the meaning still exists.
He was still doubting himself before, wondering if he was wrong and Lin Tantan really didn't do anything, but now he was suddenly convinced, if Lin Tantan didn't do anything, how could he completely change a person's fate like this
From the very little information he had obtained, Lin Tantan had been with Ye Xiao since the beginning of the apocalypse. Was it just a coincidence that the two of them happened to meet and then travel together? It was said that the relationship between the two was quite unusual.
Lu Xin thought he understood everything.
Lin Tan Tan was not trying to create a powerful force. She found the most suitable person and was willing to change his fate. She wanted to turn him into the ruler of the future. In this way, there would naturally be no such thing as the eventual decline of Ning City and the failure of her plan. As long as Ye Xiao was still alive, his force and the place where he was would naturally prosper.
Lu Xin thought a lot in his mind, and many ideas came to his mind. In the end, his heart sank a little bit. It was ridiculous to tie the fate of a country to one person!
