The situation was quickly brought under control. As the zombies on the periphery and in the crowd were cleared out, people gradually calmed down, stopped running around, and became obedient. However, when they were asked to check each other to see if they were infected, they found that more than a dozen people had been bitten or caught by zombies.
Among them was Lin Tantan’s brother.
He was completely stunned and rushed to Lin Tantan: "Tan Tan, save my brother, save me, I don't want to die, I can't die!"
Lin Tantan still looked at him indifferently. She had seen many desperate and crazy people who were dying after being infected, but those people would not come to her for help in the past.
As the eldest brother of the Lin family cried and begged, the other infected people seemed to have found a guide and rushed towards Lin Tan. They didn't know who she was, but they were just grabbing a straw in despair. No matter who the other person was, they just knew to hold on tightly.
These people were stopped by Mei Bosheng and others, and burst into tears. Lin Tantan turned away and said to the eldest brother of the Lin family who was still crying and snotting: "I can't save you."
If there was only one person, she could save him by gritting her teeth, but with so many people, she didn't want to cut herself into a stick.
Besides, who is this eldest brother of the Lin family to her? Why should she make an exception
At this moment, Lin Tantan, who had been silent as if she had been hit hard, suddenly started to make a scene. She shouted, "Save him! Save him quickly! You have the ability to save him!"
Lin Tan thought: "Yes, I have the ability, but why should I save him?"
"He's my brother!"
"Don't you hate your family? Just now you wished your parents would die immediately."
Lin Tantan jumped up and down: "Then I order you to save him now. How can you not save my family when you are using my body?"
Lin Tan Tan was still calm and composed: "If it were in the past, I might not be able to get over the hurdle in my heart and I would have tried my best to save him, but now isn't this a pure transaction between us? If I fulfill one of your wishes, this body will be completely mine." Since it is a life-and-death relationship, why bother about any feelings
Lin Tantan was so blocked that she couldn't speak, and she was spinning around like a trapped beast in the narrow space of consciousness. She certainly didn't want to save her brother. Their relationship was negative. She would celebrate if the other person died, but how could she just watch Lin Tantan complete her request so smoothly and then live happily while she herself died
She would rather Lin Tantan was also infected and they died together.
She shouted, "You must save him, or else I won't give you my body!"
Lin Tan Tan: "It seems that you don't have the final say on this matter now. It's all your fault that you didn't promise me to take care of your family before."
Now Father and Mother Lin are safely on the divine machine. As long as the two of them are fine, it will be fine. It can only be said that these two people arrived too timely, and their group also arrived in time. Otherwise, if they were a step late, the crowd would be trapped in the workshop, and if the infected people started to bite again, I am afraid that the last group of people would have to die.
However, Lin Tantan seemed to have no signs of disappearing. She frowned slightly, and then relaxed her brows. Lin Tantan's wish was to let Lin's father and mother live a good life. Not yet, but after taking them back, she would settle them down and let them live a "good life".
As she thought about these things, the infected people in front of her were already crying, and some even attacked and injured others in despair, trying to drag others down with them. The others scattered. The fire-type mutant immediately shot him dead, but after he fell to the ground, his family members who had escaped ran back, crying and cursing at them for killing people. Some even said that they had been hiding well, and it was only because of their appearance that they were in this situation.
In short, there was crying and screaming at the scene, just like a medical dispute.
Several supernatural beings were so annoyed that they wanted to use a big move to kill everyone. When encountering such a situation during rescue, such people are the most annoying. Although it is understandable, who hasn't encountered similar things in the end times? They are so sad about their own sad things that they don't have time to sympathize with others, so seeing such unreasonable people will only make you feel annoyed.
Among the people who were not infected, an old Taoist priest wanted to rush out, but Master Jin held him back.
"Why did you pull me in? She could have saved someone but she just stood there and watched."
Master Jin shook his head with a serious face and whispered, "Don't say anything. She is determined not to save anyone. What's the point of you yelling? Look at the psychics around her." Any one of them can take care of everyone here.
And if they turn around and leave now, who will deal with so many zombies here
Ye Xiao saw that Lin Tan Tan really had no intention of saving the eldest brother of the Lin family. He vaguely knew that she was not as simple as losing her memory. She was probably not the original Lin Tan Tan at all, or there was some hidden story, otherwise she would not have changed her name and used such unfamiliar terms as Lin family members and Lin family parents. Therefore, it was impossible for him to treat the eldest brother of the Lin family who was crying and wailing as his brother-in-law.
Since it was an official business, he used his supernatural powers to suppress those desperate, violent and crazy infected people, and ordered the remaining survivors to tie them up.
He had experienced this kind of thing a lot. When he met a group of people, among whom there were infected people, as long as the situation was not very urgent, he would usually not solve it himself, but let the group of people do it themselves. If he couldn't bear it or couldn't figure it out, he would just sink with the infected people. There was no good thing to ask others for help even for such a small matter. In the end, after escaping from danger, he still had reason to resent the people who helped them deal with it for being cruel and heartless.
His face turned cold and his voice was low and penetrating. The noisy crowd finally quieted down. These people were able to walk thousands of miles from the south, so naturally they were not all confused. Everyone looked at each other, and someone came out to do the same.
After tying up these infected people, the others gathered together, and those hiding in other workshops also ran out.
Ye Xiao asked those who were capable of fighting to come out and follow a few psychics to kill the zombies. The others tried to find various things to surround the area and resist for a while. At the same time, he told these people that the rescue team from Zhengyang Base had set out.
The orderly orders and the news of the rescue team's imminent arrival cheered these people up and made them obedient. They soon found something to do. After arranging these things, Ye Xiao sent Lin Tan to the Shenji: "You go back first."
Lin Tantan was screaming and making a noise in her mind. Lin Tantan was annoyed by her and could hardly concentrate. Knowing that staying here would only hinder them, she nodded. As for going back first, that was not possible because the magic machine could provide support from the air.
The rope was thrown down, and Ye Xiao held her up. As soon as they entered the cabin, Lin's father and mother rushed over: "Where's A Rui? Where's your niece?"
A Rui is the eldest brother of the Lin family. Lin Tan said, "He was bitten."
"What?" The two were shocked. Mother Lin asked anxiously, "How could this happen? He was fine just now. Why didn't you save him? Did you hurt him on purpose?"
She spoke without thinking, and Lin Tan Tan raised his eyelids. It seemed that the parents were self-aware and knew that their daughter had a bad relationship with them, so bad that it might harm their son.
Father Lin also glared at her.
Lin Tantan was too lazy to pay attention to them: "Shut up!"
They were both stunned.
Lin Tan Tan pressed his forehead and said in his heart: "What the hell do you want? Shut up!" Lin Tan Tan was still shouting: "I want to change my wish. Throw them down, throw them down! Why should they still be alive if I'm going to die! No, no, I won't die, this is my body!"
She was obviously about to go crazy. Lin Tantan just wanted to get rid of her quickly. At this time, Lin's mother suddenly burst into tears: "That's your brother! How could you watch him die? And your niece, bring her up here quickly, what are you doing sitting here? You still have the nerve to rest! If you don't save them, I will not recognize you as my daughter!"
Obviously, she had been instilled with the idea that her daughter valued and cared about them along the way. Especially this time, Lin Tan came so quickly and rescued them as soon as he arrived. Lin's mother became so inflated that she threatened to disown her as her daughter.
If possible, Lin Tantan really didn't want to deal with such people. She said coldly: "Since you are so worried, go down and save them yourself. I can throw you down immediately."
Her expression was cold and she didn't use any threatening tone, but she gave people the feeling that if you pushed her any further she would really throw you down.
Mother Lin fell silent immediately, stammering and not daring to speak. She looked at her as if she were a total stranger. In addition to fear and shock, there was also a hint of accusation as to how could she be so cold-blooded and unfilial.
Lin Tantan was wondering, what is the standard for them to live a good life? Is it enough to just eat and drink well? Or should we satisfy all their demands
She said, "I will take you back to the base in a moment. What kind of living conditions do you want?"
Not understanding why she suddenly became so easy to talk to, the two looked at each other, and Father Lin spoke first: "You must eat your fill, and have meat for every meal."
Mother Lin asked, "Do you have clothes to change into? Do you have a place to live?"
The two of them raised a lot of requests one after another. Lin Tantan had been listening silently. Seeing that they were talking more and more outrageous, her brows began to frown a little. Looking at the greed in their eyes, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
Lin Tantan interrupted them: "Alright, I'll make arrangements based on the situation. You guys should be more cautious. The base is not a paradise. It's impossible to restore our previous living conditions!"
Lin Tantan sneered, “Hahaha, I almost forgot, they are the greediest people and will never be satisfied. If they don’t say they are satisfied, you have not fulfilled my wish!”
Lin Tan thought to himself, as expected, making a wish is so troublesome. Is this just a wish, or a bottomless pit extending from a wish
She looked at the embarrassed couple again. Although they kept their mouths shut, their eyes kept moving, giving people a sly feeling, and they were obviously still thinking of making some kind of request. If they insisted on asking Lin Tantan to save their son at this time, Lin Tantan would have no choice but to do it. However, they obviously forgot about this, and even forgot about their niece, and only thought about how much benefit they could get for themselves.
Such people are easy to deal with, but also difficult to deal with. It is best to trick them into giving you a satisfactory answer as quickly as possible.
…
Below, after sending Lin Tantan to the divine machine, Ye Xiao had no worries at all, and used his supernatural powers even more vigorously. He launched a wind net to strangle the zombies, and large groups of zombies fell down. With such a powerful weapon, the number of zombies was decreasing at a quite alarming rate.
Soon after, the swarm of zombies gradually retreated and the situation was completely stabilized. After dawn, the rescue team arrived and took these people back to the base.
Several thousand people in total.
I heard that at their peak number along the way, there were nearly 100,000 people. However, due to various reasons, some dispersed, some fled, and some died. In the end, only a small number of people arrived at the Zhengyang base. But this may be just the first wave, and more people will arrive later.
The base took in these people, but first placed them in marginal areas and slowly observed and tested them. During this process, those who were capable or motivated could naturally find jobs and improve their lives, and then more smoothly become official members of the base and be entered into the base's household registration system.
But for those who are incompetent, have no ambition, or even like to cause trouble and have evil intentions, no one can help them. Just like those people who are hated and unreasonable, they can only be marginalized, exiled, receive a relief meal every day, and muddle through.
Lin's parents are not among them. They are relatives of Lin Tan and were taken by Lin Tan to live in a relatively high-end residential building. The furnishings are all good, and the daily supply of food, water, clothing and shoes are all provided by Lin Tan Tan, who spends her contribution points.
But before Lin Tan Tan was about to take them over, a woman rushed out, holding a five or six-year-old girl in her arms. She burst into tears: "Dad, Mom! Tan Tan! You can't just ignore Ling Ling and me!"
This is Mrs. Lin and her daughter. The eldest brother of the Lin family has died. Although the mother and daughter are still fine, they have lost the pillar of the family and can only cling to the thighs of their parents-in-law and sister-in-law.
Lin Tantan had no objection. She had seen many orphans and widows, and she would not give them preferential treatment just because they were pitiful. But when Lin's parents saw their granddaughter, they thought of their dead son and were filled with grief. Naturally, they did not want their granddaughter to suffer. Seeing this, Lin Tantan agreed to let the mother and daughter come with them.
Seeing the bright new home, the family's eyes lit up. Lin Tantan told Lin's father and mother the daily food treatment standard and asked, "Are you satisfied with this kind of life?"
The family really lived up to Lin Tantan's evaluation. Lin's mother said shyly, "Can we hire a nanny? We have a lot of people, young and old, and your sister-in-law is not in good health. You can't ask me to do the housework, right?"
Father Lin said, "I just heard that the work distribution here is very clear. What is your position in the base? Can you arrange a decent job for me in the future?"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Lin family said, "Is there any fruit available? Your niece hasn't eaten any fruit in a long time. The child is malnourished at such a young age. Poor your brother, he died so tragically. You must take care of your niece!" As she spoke, she wiped away her tears, trying her best to express her misery as a widow.
Lin Tantan closed her eyes, pressed her eyebrows, her hands trembling a little, and said, "Well, we can hire a nanny and arrange work for you, so are you satisfied with this?"
She simply ignored the request of the eldest sister-in-law of the Lin family. She was not her mission target, but just an incidental one.
Mother Lin's eyes lit up: "Isn't it contribution points that are used to buy things here? How much can we get every month? I feel uneasy when I don't have money. I can't ask you for anything I want, right?"
Father Lin said: "What kind of job is it? Can I be a small leader? After all, I am your father, so I can't be too shabby, right?"
Lin's eldest sister-in-law also wanted to speak.
Lin Tan Tan: … Damn it!
Lin Tantan laughed wildly. "I'm right, aren't I? You'll never be able to satisfy them. What's the point of finding them? I'm really smart to make such a request."
"Let them live a good life" was just a casual remark of hers, but she didn't expect that it would become the key point of Kashilin's talk. This is really a general and vague concept. What is a good life? As long as the person concerned feels that it is not good enough, it is not a good life.
Lin Tan Tan's face darkened as she looked at this family whose greed was written all over their heads and toes. She knew that she was too impatient. She had shown too much desire to satisfy them and had fostered their desires from the beginning. Even if she met their current demands, they would still have more demands.
She thought she had to change her thinking.
She said coldly: "You are asking for so much, do you want to die?"
Lin family: “…”
"It seems that I'd better let you do the same as those people and draw a place for you to build your own house."
Father Lin's expression immediately changed, and he said hurriedly: "No, no, that's enough, that's enough, the current conditions are very good, we are very satisfied."
Lin Tantan glanced at him and felt it. Nothing happened. The contract between her and Lin Tantan did not change. Lin Tantan was like someone was choking her throat. She froze for a moment and wanted to wait for judgment, but soon found that nothing had changed, and then laughed even crazier.
Lin Tan Tan: “…”
She looked at Father Lin coldly. It was useless if she didn't speak from the heart.
There is no solution to this problem!
At this moment she really wanted to drive them all out and eat herself.
But he still restrained himself and rushed out to stay with the survivors who had just come in. What if there was a conflict and someone lost their life
She turned and left. Ye Xiao, who was waiting outside, saw her dark face and looked at the Lin family: "What's wrong?"
Lin Tan Tan pulled him away and whispered, "I want them to live a good life, and let them feel that they have a good life and feel satisfied, but they... they ask for too much, and even if they are satisfied, they will still ask for more. What should I do?"
This request was a bit strange, but Lin Tantan was in a hurry, and Ye Xiao always took her ideas to heart. He thought seriously, "Does it mean that they are willing to feel that they have a good life?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
"In this situation, you shouldn't be too nice to them at the beginning." He asked, "Will brainwashing work?"
Lin Tan was stunned: "I don't know." After thinking about it more carefully, he frowned and shook his head, "No, this is cheating, it shouldn't be allowed."
If it were that simple, we wouldn't judge their half-hearted expressions of satisfaction as inadequate.
Ye Xiao was not disappointed, and thought: "Then we need to take some measures. You won't feel sorry for them, right?"
"No, as long as their lives are guaranteed to be safe."
Ye Xiao touched her head: "I roughly know what to do, but it's hard to say. After all, if they really want to think so, what's the situation? Can you tell me clearly, so that I can have a better idea."
Lin Tan Tan bit his lower lip, looked at the people at the door who were anxiously looking around, pulled Ye Xiao further away, and whispered: "Actually, I'm not the real Lin Tan Tan, I... I should say it's a resurrection from the dead."
Ye Xiao's pupils shrank. He had guessed it, but he was still extremely shocked when he actually heard it. Moreover, the term "reincarnation" was really horrifying, not because it was scary, but because of the meaning behind it.
He immediately held Lin Tantan's hand, staring at her closely, his voice tense: "You... your real body in the past, is it gone?"
After Lin Tan Tan finished speaking, he waited for his reaction, but he didn't expect that he was not frightened at all, but his first sentence was this.
Seeing that he was not opposed, she felt at ease and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I was fine before. It's not appropriate to use the term "reincarnation". It should be more accurate to say that I traveled through time. I, I am not from your world. I don't know why I suddenly woke up in this body."
She didn't want to tell Ye Xiao that her former self was dead.
But the answer that he is not from your world is no less shocking than that he has died in the past. Ye Xiao was silent for several seconds before he slowly recovered his breathing. He had forgotten to breathe at that moment.
He looked at her with complicated eyes. What he had guessed the most in the past was not such a mysterious answer. He was more wondering whether she had developed a new personality because of the awakening of her superpowers.
But the truth is far crazier and more shocking than people imagine.
He had so many questions he wanted to ask. What was she like before? If she was not from this world, then what was her other world like and where was it
But he also knew that now was not the time for a deep discussion, so he asked, "Then what? You came into this body, what is the situation now?"
Lin Tan Tan looked down at his feet, his brows slightly furrowed. "I always thought that the original Lin Tan Tan was dead. When I traveled through this body, it was already dead. But starting in September, she suddenly appeared and wanted to take this body back. Unless I fulfill one of her wishes, I can't drive her away to save myself. The best I can do is to die together, so I must fulfill this wish."
"This wish is her family?"
"To be precise, it's her parents. Find her parents and let them live a good life. That's what she said." Lin Tan Tan said, "I came to you last night just to talk about this. Who knew that by coincidence, her parents would come over. Now the first half of her wish has been fulfilled, and only the second half is left."
Ye Xiao understood it completely, and he also looked solemn: "If she herself decides whether her wish has been fulfilled..."
"It's not her. It seems to be some kind of mysterious force. I can't really explain it. Now, both she and I must abide by this rule." And this rule is actually in her favor, because she can do anything, while Lin Tantan can only hide in a corner and watch the situation develop.
Ye Xiao's eyes were solemn. This matter was beyond his ability. If it really came to the final step, he would have no way to intervene.
So you definitely can’t go to the last step.
He stroked the little girl's hair and said, "I won't let anything happen to you. Leave this to me."
Ye Xiao's method was simple and violent. He asked Lin Tantan to pretend to agree to all the current demands of the Lin family. After she left, he went to their house and, in the name of her boyfriend, accused Lin's parents of only taking their son and his family to flee after the apocalypse, completely ignoring their daughter who was still in the university town, and of ignoring their daughter before the apocalypse.
From Lin Tantan, he already knew the Lin family's attitude towards their daughter.
Lin's parents were stunned. They were immersed in the joy that Lin Tan Tan agreed to their request. They were thinking about what other requests they could make and how to better exploit their now promising daughter. Then Ye Xiao came to their house and started scolding them with such a ruthless and fierce attitude.
Father Lin said tremblingly: "We are Tan Tan's parents, and she cares about us very much." So shouldn't this boyfriend try to please them like she does? Why does he have such an attitude
They didn't know that Ye Xiao was the leader of this base, otherwise they would be even more panicked and complicated.
Ye Xiao was not going to tell them. Anyway, after a scolding, in the name of venting his anger for his girlfriend, he had them dragged away regardless of their shouting and made them do hard labor.
He went directly to find people from the public security department, the most professional ones. They were extremely intimidating once they put on their uniforms. There were as many as fifteen or sixteen people staring at them, and they even followed them when they went to the toilet. Their ferocious looks were scary enough, but Ye Xiao's intention was not only to scare them, but also to ensure their safety.
He also asked Lin to make sure that they did not have any serious illnesses and would not die suddenly due to excessive emotional fluctuations. He also prepared nutritional supplements for them that did not taste very good but were nutritious enough. Although he asked them to do hard labor, he knew when to stop and did not dare to let them get too tired.
Anyway, you just make a fuss on the surface, find faults and intimidate them in various ways, and scare them like a frightened bird, but you won't really hurt them.
It can be said that it is well-intentioned.
He even stopped doing anything else and just kept an eye on them secretly.
After several days of this, when they were terrified, crying and feeling that life was dark and bleak, they finally let Lin Tantan appear.
Lin Tantan once again played the role of a filial daughter. She brought them back to their original house, prepared delicious food and drinks for them, calmed their emotions, and told them that she would have a good talk with Ye Xiao and would do her best to make their lives a good life in the future.
Lin's father and mother were so frightened that they suffered from nervous breakdown. Now that they were brought out by Lin Tantan, they felt like they had met a savior and were rescued from death. They just believed whatever Lin Tantan said and kept nodding their heads.
When Lin Tan Tan asked them meaningfully whether they were satisfied with their current life, they nodded quickly: "Yes, I am satisfied. I am completely satisfied. This is the best life now."
These words came completely from the heart, and Lin Tantan felt that something in his body had changed. In that dim space of consciousness, something like complicated pictures and texts suddenly lit up, as if the last stroke was completed. At the same time, Lin Tantan, who was trapped here, suddenly seemed to be attacked by something, and screamed miserably, and his soul body quickly dimmed.
Lin Tantan couldn't see the changes in her consciousness space when she was awake, but she could feel it and hear Lin Tantan's shouting. She could hardly believe that she had achieved her goal so easily.
She stood there for a while, and without paying any attention to Lin's parents, she turned around and ran out. Ye Xiao was waiting for her outside, looking extremely nervous. When he saw her come out, he asked hurriedly, "How is it?"
Lin Tan Tan stopped and looked at him straight, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger, and finally he threw himself on him, his eyes full of joy: "They said, they said they are very satisfied with their current life, we succeeded, Ye Xiao!"
She stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck tightly, repeating excitedly: "We did it!"
Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, his tense heartstrings loosened, and he raised his hands to hug her back: "That's good, has the soul of Lin Tantan left?"
"Not yet, but soon."
Lin Tantan's soul also knew that she was dying. She screamed and cursed her: "You used my body, and you lived for almost two more years, and you are still not satisfied! Lin Tantan, you hurt me, you are ungrateful, you are greedy, you repay kindness with hatred, and you will be punished!"
Lin Tantan's face darkened slightly. He said nothing and did not respond to the other party.
Greedy? Right, if I told her from the beginning that she could only come to see Ye Xiao, accompany him for a period of time, change his fate, and then leave, she would also want to receive a great gift from heaven and be willing to accept it no matter what it cost.
But humans are greedy animals. After she did all this, she wanted to spend her life with him, so Lin Tantan must be the one to die.
Who is right and who is wrong? If we say Lin Tantan is more in the right position, she is indeed the original owner of this body, but if Lin Tantan had not taken over, this body would have died long ago, and Lin Tantan would naturally not exist, and not even a piece of soul would be left. If we say Lin Tantan is the owner of this body, she is indeed an outsider.
Therefore, a wish, a rule, and an invisible contract determined who would live and who would die among them.
It's funny to say that the final decision on such a crucial matter lies in the hands of the couple. This body was born by them, so perhaps there is indeed a destiny in life.
In short, the final result was that Lin Tantan won.
Lin Tantan screamed sharply and unwillingly, and then suddenly fell silent, as if her entire soul had suddenly disappeared.
Lin Tantan frowned. Is this the end
Ye Xiao noticed her expression: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No, it should be fine." Lin Tan Tan shook his head, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.
She didn't know that at the same moment, in another part of the base, someone was casting a spell to summon spirits.
