Regardless of the torment that Lu Xinzheng was experiencing, the construction of Zhengyang Brigade was going very smoothly, and soon people were moving into their new homes in large numbers.
In this vast and remote land, there are three towns of a certain size and several villages. The leaders do not care about the names, nor do they like to pretend to be refined, and they did not rename these places. They simply stipulated that a town and the surrounding villages should be divided into a large district, so there are Districts 1, 2 and 3, which completely continues the tradition in Ning City.
One of the areas is naturally the central area, where several large new office buildings are located and where the leaders mainly live.
Lin Tantan naturally lives here as well.
As her animal army grew in size and the mutant beasts in the army loved to come and play with her, she decided to build a larger venue.
The rules for relocation and moving in are as follows: based on all habitable areas, a minimum residential area per person is formulated. The standards for people with positions and people with different positions are different, but with this indicator, if you want to live in such a large place, or want land with a better location, you have to pay the corresponding contribution value.
As for those who have the lowest indicators and are unwilling to make contributions, they can only draw lots.
Lin Tantan's personal standards were naturally very high. She had an alarming number of contribution points in her personal account. She also applied for permission to build a habitat for the mutant beasts. After going through the formalities in a very formal manner, she enclosed a large area of mountain with a lake as her own territory.
Afterwards, she found a designer and made a design for her based on the terrain. She built a pavilion in the middle of the lake, scattered paths and connected canals on the mountain, planted rows of fruit trees and grass on the shore, and made some stone tables and chairs and cobblestone roads.
Looking at the map that looked like a mountain park, Lin Tan thought it was a good idea, and generously hired a construction team to clean up the place according to the map. She personally pumped out all the dirty water and garbage in the lake, and had people dig out the silt to deepen and widen the lake.
Not only that, he also waved his hand and let the eager mutant beasts choose the place to make the nest or entertainment venue they wanted.
In the end, the entire site was much larger than the original compound in Ning City Base. No one in the entire team lived in a more spacious place or had a bigger move than her.
But she was still not satisfied. She couldn't let herself fill the lakes, pools, puddles and winding streams with water, so she set her sights on the big mountain behind.
The designer had previously said that this lake must have been fed by a spring flowing down from the mountain, but later for some unknown reason the spring dried up and the lake became stagnant water.
Lin Tan Tan went up the mountain.
Of course, she did not go up the mountain alone, she brought a group of mutant beasts with her. These animals of all sizes hopped and jumped together. There were birds flying high in the sky to explore the way in all directions, there were leopards moving quickly through the woods to clear the way, there were mutant tigers roaring loudly, and all the birds and beasts in the mountains fled. The most numerous were cats, dogs and rats that were almost impossible to find in the mountains.
Oh, there is also a long three-rooted one. This guy has grown so big and long now that no mutant plants can escape its observation.
A group of guys like this going up the mountain is much more useful than a group of people going up the mountain.
The few mutated animals and plants on the mountain immediately tucked their tails between their legs and hid, but they couldn't help but quietly pop their heads out to observe these uninvited guests.
Lin Tantan didn't need to be alert at all and just relaxed watching the scenery along the way. Although it was much worse than the beautiful scenery in the video, the foundation of the scenic spot was still there and the scenery was still quite good.
When she reached the railing of the cliff, she leaned on it and looked into the distance. The towns below were all small, and the city in the distance was faintly visible.
She looked for a while, the sun in the sky was emitting scorching heat, she didn't know why her eyes swayed, her body suddenly seemed to be out of control. She shook her head, and the feeling was gone. She was a little confused, thinking that the sun was too dazzling, and turned around to continue climbing the mountain.
"Pah!" A fruit suddenly fell in front of her.
She looked up and saw several monkeys on the treetops squeaking at her as if they were laughing, and they were dancing with their hands in a mocking manner.
Lin Tan Tan: “…” This audacious monkey.
A minute later, all the monkeys were thrown in front of Lin Tantan, with a big bird on the back of each of them. It was these big birds that caught the monkeys just now. The whole process was not difficult at all.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" A little monkey cried unwillingly, but was slapped down by a group of mutant beasts watching. Finally, it behaved itself.
Lin Tantan squatted in front of the most active little monkey, who should be the leader: "Hey, take us to find the water source here."
The little monkey didn't want to pay attention to her, and then was patted on the head by a dog's paw.
Lin Tantan looked at the big dog with its tongue hanging out and a flattering look in its eyes, smiled and touched its head.
The monkeys were finally forced to take Lin Tantan to find water.
After walking for a long time, what came into view was an incredibly large tree. The trunk was as high as seven or eight stories high, and it might take hundreds of people to hug it. Water was gurgling in some places, as if the trunk was a giant bucket. The branches and leaves were very dense, and some branches were actually flowing water, dripping as if it was raining.
Not only that, the air around the big tree was extremely humid, even filled with mist, so that the surrounding plants grew well. There were also many animals living around it, but they were frightened by Lin Tantan's group and jumped onto the tree or ran away.
Lin Tan Tan knew at a glance that this was a mutant tree. She turned around to look at the three roots that did not sound the alarm. The three roots were completely stunned. The shorter root that it used as a head poked out of the soil and just stared blankly at the giant in front of it, as if the ignorant common people were shocked when they saw the king.
Lin Tantan felt that every inch of it exuded two auras at this moment, one was called insignificance, and the other was called humbleness.
Lin Tantan turned his head silently and continued to look up at the big guy in front of him. The branch was shaking, and the old bark on the trunk was trembling like ripples. A big mouth gradually appeared and a hoarse voice came out: "...Who?"
Lin Tan Tan: “…”
The stunned animals: "..."
Humble Three: "…"
…
On this day, the Zhengyang Brigade was busy as usual, but suddenly they felt the ground shaking slightly. People seemed surprised, and then panicked.
Is this an earthquake
Ye Xiao immediately looked up at the mountain. It seemed that the vibration came from the mountain. Suddenly his face changed. These two days, Lin Tan Tan had been saying that he would find time to go into the mountain.
He immediately ran towards there, running so fast that he left only a shadow. People only felt a gust of wind passing in front of them and could not see anything clearly.
Ye Xiao ran to the mountain where Lin Tantan was as fast as he could. Construction was still going on there, but after the ground shook, people immediately stopped what they were doing, gathered together, and waited in panic for the shaking to pass.
Ye Xiao glanced around and asked Lin about it. The leader of the construction team said, "Miss Lin went up the mountain, and she brought all the mutant beasts with her."
Ye Xiao's face darkened. The shaking had stopped at this time, but it started again after a while, and the earthquake here was obviously much stronger than outside.
Ye Xiao realized that this was probably not an earthquake in the general sense, but something happened inside the mountain.
After trying to contact Lin again to no avail, he immediately ran up the mountain.
Then we met Lin Tantan and the animal army on the road.
Lin Tantan, who was in high spirits, saw him and said happily, "Why did you come to the mountains?"
The anxious Ye Xiao gradually calmed down and looked at her carefully. She was not injured at all, but her body was dirty, as if she had dug a hole and planted a tree. Also, what was going on with the tree as thick as a bucket on her shoulder
He walked over and asked: "What did you do?" He stretched out his hand to take the tree off her shoulder. Lin Tantan quickly said: "Be careful, don't hurt it, it's just been born!"
Ye Xiao: “…” The tree is so big that he can’t even hug it with his arms. It’s two meters high. You said it was just born
But it's not hard to guess: "Mutated?"
"Yes, let me tell you, there is a mountain king in this mountain. He is super super super big and very powerful. Can you guess what that is?" Lin Tantan was in an excited state.
Ye Xiao said: "Tiger? Lion?"
Lin Tantan laughed and said, "Neither of them, it's a tree! A big tree with a trunk that's dozens of meters high. This little tree is its baby."
Lin Tantan was shocked when he saw that the tree had a mouth and could talk. He pondered and wondered if there was any record of such a strange mutant tree in history books. It seemed that there was no record, but if such a talking tree was discovered, how could it be possible that no one had recorded it
And she also discovered that the trunk of this tree should be full of water, and it happened to stand in a spring, absorbing all the water inside, and then flowing out through the trunk and branches, nourishing the surrounding creatures.
No wonder there is no water flowing down at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Tantan did not dare to be careless about a mutated tree of this degree, and told the tree his purpose. The tree was reluctant to give up the water at first because it needed a lot of water to grow, but Lin Tantan soon discovered something.
"That big tree is powerful, but it needs too much water. The amount of water it absorbs and releases every day is huge. The spring on the mountain is not enough for it, and the soil on the mountain is too thin. It is so big that its roots can stand hundreds of meters deep, but it can only hover in the soil only a few meters deep, so it can't hold on any longer." Lin Tan Tan talked to Ye Xiao about what had just happened while walking.
"I let it go down the mountain. I can provide it with water and soil. It said it didn't want to come into contact with humans and was worried about being disturbed or hurt. But it also knew that if it continued to stay in the mountain, it might not get enough water and nutrients and die one day. We discussed it and came up with a compromise."
She looked like she was asking me what I could do. Ye Xiao, who was carrying the huge tree on his shoulders, said in a supportive manner, "What can I do?"
"The tree didn't want to leave, but wanted to find a new place to live and a way out for itself, so it gave birth to a baby. This is it. It split from its roots, and then it quickly grew into this. It's asexual reproduction. Isn't it amazing?"
Ye Xiao didn't know how to respond. He was silent for a while and said, "Is this the reason for the earthquake just now?"
"Is there an earthquake? Oh, there were a few earthquakes just now, and the big tree must have been pulled out of the ground!" Lin Tantan said, "I promised it not to let anyone know of its existence. We can't tell anyone that the earthquake was caused by it."
Ye Xiao thought, no one would believe it if I told others.
He looked at his girlfriend, who was touching the trunk and leaves with excitement, muttering about where to plant it. Why did she always seem to have so many wonderful things happen to her? And why did she always end up with good things after encountering these wonderful things
Lin Tan Tan also said: "It's a pity that I promised it that I can't take you to see it. It's really an amazing tree!... Oh, it also said that it can't give up that spring, and its roots almost sucked away all the water on the whole mountain. But there are springs that it can't reach, and water from there can also be used to fill the lake."
Finally, Lin Tantan planted the sapling tree by the lake. Before planting it, he collected a lot of fertile soil, dug a deep hole for it, and covered it with thick soil. After burying it, he watered it for a long time, so much that people around him were worried that the tree would be drowned.
Yang Xinyu, who came over to help transplant other trees and grass, asked, "Can't you use this water to water the plants directly?"
"It's okay, this tree is fine, it's a mutant tree."
"Oh, I see." Yang Xinyu didn't understand this either, so she nodded. However, what happened next surprised even this planting-type wood-type mutant.
This mutant tree grew so fast, it changed almost every day. It was originally two meters tall, which was already quite tall, but in just a few days it grew even taller. Its bucket-like trunk also became thicker, and its branches and leaves also grew extremely fast.
That was not all. One day, everyone was shocked when water drops began to drip from the top of every branch of the tree.
Lin Tantan's favorite place to stay has become under this big tree. He puts a table, a lounge chair, or a picnic blanket, and sits under the dripping water curtain. The heat outside is completely driven away, which is simply a great way to escape the summer heat.
Later, water from a spring somewhere on the mountain flowed down, and the lake was gradually filled up. It then spread to the canals and other pools, and fish were raised there. After the trees and grass were planted, the whole mountain seemed to be a new world. It not only became a paradise for mutant beasts, but people also wanted to come and play.
The people of Zhengyang Brigade called this place "Linyuan".
Lin Tantan thought the name was not nice and complained to Ye Xiao that it sounded like "cemetery".
After the completion of the forest garden, the entire Zhengyang Brigade was settled in, and the city wall was built very tall and majestic. Then on September 1, Ye Xiao officially announced the establishment of the Zhengyang Base.
After connecting to some of the remaining communication networks across the country, the news was announced to all parts of the country.
Lin Tan Tan witnessed this moment with his own eyes and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Historically, Ye Xiao established the base in the third year of the apocalypse, and it was under relatively difficult and harsh circumstances. The scale of the staff was far from the millions it is now. Even at that time, not only Mei Baisheng, but also Jiang Xiaotian, Zhong Xiong and Cheng Qinan had all died.
Now, everything is different.
She looked up at Ye Xiao. He was dressed in formal attire and had a dignified look on his face. He exuded the powerful aura of a superior. He stood on a high place, facing the wind and everyone's gazes, and delivered a speech in a sonorous, powerful, calm and composed manner. She thought to herself, things will be better in the future.
Ye Xiao seemed to sense something and turned to look at her. Lin Tan Tan smiled at him and raised her hand to give him a thumbs up.
A smile suddenly filled Ye Xiao's eyes.
In the evening, there was a large celebration party in the base. Lin Tan Tan played for a while, ate something and quietly left. After walking for a while, he found Ye Xiao also came out. Lin Tan Tan asked: "Why don't you stay in there?"
"We've said everything we need to say, and we've drunk all the wine we need to drink. That's enough." Ye Xiao held her hand, "Let's go for a walk together?"
"Yeah." In District 1 at night, lights are everywhere. Tonight is a festive day, and no one is worried about using electricity. The streets are hung with red paper lanterns and colorful flags, and children are even playing with firecrackers. In this revitalized town, it seems as if the end of the world has never happened. Everything is so peaceful and tranquil.
The two walked all the way to the mountainside. When they got out of the street, the night wind suddenly got stronger. They came to the forest park. Most of the animals here were still awake and were playing. On the winding gravel road, there was a street lamp at intervals. They were all powered by solar energy and emitted a faint light.
They came to the lake and sat on the lawn facing the sparkling lake. No one spoke for a while.
All I could hear was the rustling sound of water dripping from the trees by the lake and the sound of swans and ducks floating on the water in the lake.
After a long time, Ye Xiao suddenly said: "Let's talk, shall we get married?"
Lin Tan was surprised, but not too surprised. He was surprised because he said this out of the blue, but he was not surprised because this guy had already said "after we get married" before.
She stared at him. Under the dim light, Ye Xiao's expression was a little awkward, which was rare to see, but still very firm. His eyes were calm and quiet, with a different kind of gentleness.
He looked at Lin Tan and said slowly, "You said you wanted a stable living environment. Now we have it. This is our own base. Everything is on the right track. Although its scale is not as large as those big bases, its comprehensive strength is not inferior at all. If nothing unexpected happens, we will spend a long time here in the future. I hope to be with you, day and night, inseparable, share happy things together, solve difficult things together, and no matter what happens, we will face it together and never leave each other."
Lin Tan Tan looked at him quietly, with stars in her eyes. She suddenly smiled and said, "So this is why you had to wait until the base was established before proposing to me?" She wiped her eyes and said, "I was wondering when you were going to say it."
Ye Xiao smiled and touched her face, wiping away the tears: "So you agreed?"
"What do you think?" Lin Tantan felt a little embarrassed for making herself cry, so she tried to find a topic: "So has the place for marriage registration been prepared? Do you have a set of registration procedures and marriage certificates? Without these procedures, it definitely doesn't count as a marriage for a guy like you who pursues rituals."
Ye Xiao nodded seriously: "I have already thought about what to do with the wedding banquet."
Lin Tantan chuckled. To get married in such a solemn manner, one really couldn't do it without some human and financial resources.
Her heart seemed to be filled with something, and she suddenly felt that her life was complete. She said with great enthusiasm: "Let's have a drink to celebrate!"
Ye Xiao: “…”
Suddenly he remembered the last time she got drunk. He still remembered it vividly, especially the time when he got her to tell him what she really said about what happened between him and Bai Cheng. It was really scary. Ye Xiao wanted to stop her and tell her not to drink anymore, but seeing that she was so excited that she had already called the hamster to turn out the wine in its stomach, he couldn't say anything.
He said, "You still have the wine?"
"Yeah, I don't believe it. My alcohol tolerance will always be that low." But I never thought about improving my alcohol tolerance.
She took out two pretty little cups and filled them both up: "Cheers!"
Ye Xiao took it and said, "Well, if he gets drunk this time, he will just keep an eye on him."
What you worry about will come true. Not long after drinking this small cup, Lin Tantan's laughter turned into: "Haha, haha, hahahahahahahaha."
Ye Xiao: “…” Okay, he’s drunk again.
The drunk Lin Tan Tan pestered him to drink the wedding wine. Ye Xiao agreed and spilled the wine in her cup when he wasn't paying attention. Lin Tan Tan sucked the cup for a long time and only tasted a drop. She realized what was going on and grabbed his clothes angrily: "Where's the wine? Where's my wine?"
She sniffed again and again, finally finding the place where the smell of alcohol was the strongest, and kissed it.
Ye Xiao was pressed down on the grass, holding her in his arms, and deepening the kiss without any hesitation.
The animals and plants around watched this scene quietly and covered their faces shyly. Even the watering tree shook its branches and covered its eyes which were nowhere to be seen on its trunk.
…
Ye Xiao was so angry after being kissed. The drunk Lin Tan Tan was simply igniting him everywhere. He had been enduring for so long that he had almost turned himself into Naruto. But tonight, when the proposal was successful and someone was so passionate, he decided not to endure it anymore.
However, before he could put his idea into practice, Lin Tan Tan, who was lying on him and nibbling him like a puppy, suddenly groaned and covered her head.
Ye Xiao immediately woke up from the overwhelming enthusiasm and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
"I feel a little dizzy. Let me lie down for a while." She rested her head on his chest, and her whole body wilted all of a sudden. Ye Xiao saw that she was obviously very dizzy, and he didn't dare to move to affect her. He steadied his breath and touched her hair: "Are you very dizzy? Do you want to drink some water or wipe your face?"
"No, just let me lie down for a while." Lin Tan said dejectedly. Her mind felt like waves were rolling in the ocean, and she felt dizzy all over.
Ye Xiao sighed. This was the consequence of being drunk. "Don't drink anymore."
“I wasn’t dizzy last time…” she murmured, her consciousness gradually becoming unclear, and soon she was silent.
Ye Xiao waited for a moment, and seeing that she had fallen asleep, he carefully helped her up and carried her back to a house not far away.
At this time, Lin Tantan was dreaming.
She hasn't had a dream for a long time, and the influence of the zombie has almost disappeared. But because of such an experience, she is more likely to dream than other people. She has asked other nightmare sufferers, some of them have no sequelae, and some are in the same situation as her.
So Lin Tantan didn't take it to heart. Even if she was dreaming, the dream wouldn't bother her much anyway.
But this time it's different.
She seemed to have come to a very strange space, which was dark and not the river she was familiar with. There seemed to be a light above her head, making the surrounding darkness hazy.
She saw an unclear shadow in front of her, and she subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
The shadow was as tall as her. She couldn't see the face, but it should be a girl. She slowly raised her head and asked, "Why are you here?"
Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment, and somehow understood what the other party was asking. She said, "In order to help Ye Xiao escape his fate in history, to make his path smooth and easy, and to prevent him from suffering any pain."
The shadow asked her: "Have you accomplished this goal now?"
Lin Tan smiled and said, "It's done. The Zhengyang base has been established, and the starting point is much higher than in history. There are many superpowers and masters, and there is also a large mutant beast group. The external combat capability is excellent, and it can be self-sufficient internally. All kinds of order are very good..."
She had so much to say and wanted to brag about the base.
But before she could finish her words, the shadow looked up. Although she couldn't see the face, Lin Tantan felt that the other person was looking at her, and the gaze seemed unfriendly.
"Now that the goal has been achieved, you have done what you should do." Shadow's voice sank, "When can you leave my body?"
Late at night, in a small house in the forest garden, a woman's scream suddenly broke the silence and almost woke the whole night up.
All the animals and plants in the garden were awakened and looked towards the hut in panic.
Ye Xiao rushed out of the bathroom quickly, looking at Lin Tantan, who was sitting on the bed, gasping for breath, with a look of shock on her face. Shock and distress flashed across his eyes, and he hurried over to comfort her: "What's wrong, are you having a nightmare again?"
Lin Tantan dodged his hand: "Don't touch me." She looked at her hand in horror. How could it be that the owner of this body still existed? Wasn't she dead? Was she still in this body, or where else
If she was still here, what would she be? A cuckoo in the magpie's nest, a lonely ghost who would give up this body at any time? Where would she go then
She looked up at Ye Xiao, feeling a sense of helplessness and confusion that she had never experienced even when she was having her most terrifying nightmare.
"Talk."
Lin Tantan suddenly reached out his hand, touched his face, and then leaned his whole body into his arms, like someone eager to seek comfort, his voice trembling: "Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao..."
In the forest garden, a little white mouse was also awakened. This white mouse has been having a bad time recently. Any mouse would be in a bad mood if put together with a cat, especially that Ye Xiao always seemed to be on guard against him getting close to Lin Tan Tan.
I'm so angry. Even if I come to Lin Yuan, I can't reach the target.
Thinking about his duties, Bai Shu sighed and fell asleep. Then he was awakened. He recognized the voice. It was Lin Tan Tan? Why was she screaming so miserably
The animals all rushed towards the hut, and the white mouse with black eyes rolled its eyes and ran over among them.
Then it quickly climbed up the window. The two people inside didn't pay attention to the situation outside. He easily made a crack in the window and saw the situation inside clearly. It was startled. It saw it again! Two souls appeared in the woman's body again, but the strange thing was that compared with the last time, the dim soul was much brighter, but now Lin Tan's own soul was dim.
