“Not really.” Lin Tantan said.
"We met once." The man answered at the same time. He looked at Lin Tan and said, "After that day, I listened to your advice and found a place to rest. I gained a lot. Later, I wanted to look for you. If I had known you were here, I would have come here earlier."
Ye Xiao on the side: “…” A certain antenna rose higher, he squinted slightly and examined the man, he was less than 30 years old, good-looking, and had a good temperament. Compared with those college students, although he was a bit older, he was obviously more likable, and he was also a superpower... So, he was flirting with a girl in front of him
I heard him say, "Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zhou Li. I don't know your name yet?"
Then Ye Xiao saw the little girl slightly widen her eyes and looked at Zhou Li with some surprise for several seconds: "Zhou Li? Which Li?"
Zhou Li said, "Li, the word for etiquette. You know me? That's not surprising. I graduated from XX University in South University City. You were also a student there, right? Which school are you from? Maybe you're my junior."
In the blink of an eye, they became seniors and juniors... Ye Xiao endured for two seconds, his eyes swept across the two people's hands that had been holding each other for too long, and took out a pair of orange... small loquats from his pocket.
Lin Tantan's eyes were immediately drawn away: "Ah, loquat."
Two days ago, they ate a plate of loquats, which tasted especially good. Lin Tantan was still not satisfied, but unfortunately Bai Cheng had no more. Those fruits were brought from the underground supermarket, and because they took up too much space, Bai Cheng did not put them in the space. So all the ones that were put there were distributed as welfare and daily snacks for the elderly and children.
Loquat is one of them. Of course, there were not many of them. Lin Tantan felt it was a pity when he looked at the empty fruit plate.
Ye Xiao smiled and handed the loquat to her. She naturally reached out to take it: "For me?"
"Well, I passed by a fruit store today and found two good ones, so I just took them."
Lin Tan Tan looked at it happily. She didn't know what kind of fruit it was, but it was round, the size of an egg, and had a rich color. It looked delicious. Of course, what made her even happier was that her boyfriend remembered her every time he passed by a fruit shop.
Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Does Brother Bai have it?"
Ye Xiao didn’t quite understand what she meant. What did this have to do with Bai Cheng
Lin Tan Tan knew at a glance that there was no share for Bai Cheng, and secretly complained that there were only two loquats. Although they were not something special, it was unacceptable that she didn't save them for Bai Cheng first. She reluctantly said, "I saw that he liked to eat this the other day. Hey, you should save it for him."
Ye Xiao: “???”
If he took out two loquats from his pocket specifically for Bai Cheng... It's really hard to imagine that scene.
Seeing the loquats being sent back, he didn't take them for a while. Seeing his slow and inexplicable look, Lin Tan Tan was very worried about him. He sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll put it away first."
Then she was about to put it in her pocket, but her coat pocket was zipped, and it was difficult to open with two loquats in one hand. Ye Xiao bent down to help her open it, and after she put the fruits in, he zipped it up for her.
Zhou Li and his followers were caught off guard by the show: "..."
What's going on
Zhou Li's followers looked at Lin Tan Tan with something strange in their eyes. It seemed that Ye Xiao was the boss here. The fact that the boss had to help her zip up her pocket personally showed that their relationship was obviously not ordinary.
Zhou Li's gaze also became somewhat meaningful, and then he noticed that something was wrong with Lin Tantan's left hand.
These days, Lin Tantan had been wearing a large, fluffy down jacket, the kind that could completely hide her hands without them being visible, so no one noticed that she only had one hand left. However, Zhou Li still saw it at a glance: "Your hand..."
Lin Tantan smiled and said, "There was an accident. Oh, my name is Lin Tantan." She looked at Zhou Li again and felt that the name sounded very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Ye Xiao was about to say something more to Zhou Li, but he didn't want to say anything more at this time. He said a few words to let him manage his own people and select people to stand guard later, and then left with Lin Tan Tan.
After they left, a follower came to Zhou Li and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, what do you think of this man?"
Zhou Li watched the two walk away calmly, then said, "Compared to the last time we met, he gave me a stronger sense of oppression."
The follower was surprised: "How could it be, he is a wind type!"
It has been more than ten days since the end of the world, and the national Internet has been paralyzed, but some radio channels are still working. The country has also broadcast basic information about psychics and crystal cores. Now psychics can distinguish more clearly what kind of superpower they have, and they have also ranked these superpowers from strong to weak.
Wind-type players are not in the front row. For example, there are two wind-type players in Zhou Li's team. They are nothing more than blowing the wind and swinging a few not-very-sharp wind blades. The explosive fire-type, the sharp gold-type, the sharp and cold ice-type, which one is not more lethal than the wind-type? Not to mention that Zhou Li himself is the most lethal thunder-type player.
So when he met Ye Xiao and his group in the city a few days ago, and seeing that the leader Ye Xiao was only a wind-type person, and there was only one space-type person, and the others didn't seem to have any special abilities, Zhou Li didn't take them too seriously, even though they were soldiers and had a very powerful aura.
No, he actually wanted to recruit these people into his own team.
But he also knew that it was impossible. As soon as he saw Ye Xiao, he knew that he could not control this person, and he himself did not want to be inferior to others, so he did not agree to come to the west of the city.
This time I really couldn't stay in the city anymore. I heard that there are tens of thousands of people here and it has always been safe without any accidents.
But he would never have thought that in just a few days, the distance between him and Ye Xiao not only did not get closer, but instead got bigger.
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes, then smiled: "So what if it's a wind type? Wind types can be very powerful, just like the two wood types in our team, they can only deal with a few scratches, but that Lin Tan, do you know how powerful her ability is?"
Speaking of this, the man next to him gasped, his expression a little sour: "That day, she looked like a reckless little girl, and in the blink of an eye... I should have established a good relationship with her at that time."
This man was the one who was driving the SUV that day. He saw how Lin Tan jumped onto the vehicle and used things to knock the zombies down. He thought he was just a nimble and courageous person, but he didn't expect to have such a good fortune.
In fact, they came here because they heard that there was a very strong psychic in the west of the city. It was said that he was a dual-powered psychic who was very good at killing zombies and treating people. He was also very good at leading psychics. The psychics in the west of the city were either led by her from the beginning, or they joined later and would come to her to report. As long as they could get her guidance, they would improve very quickly.
The man felt a little annoyed and regretful, and Zhou Li was also a little disappointed. In fact, he came here with the hope of poaching someone else, otherwise why would he have talked so much just now? But after seeing the interaction between the two people, he felt that this possibility was slim.
However slim the chance is, we have to give it a try. A powerful healing psychic, a dual-system psychic, anyone with a brain would know how valuable they are.
…
Zhou Li knew this truth, and Ye Xiao certainly knew it too.
He thought about asking Lin Tantan to hide her abilities or conceal her existence, or at least not to show off her outstanding abilities in front of people like she does now, so as to reduce her presence and protect her, but he rejected all these ideas.
Lin Tantan is a person who is very willing to help others (Lin Tantan:?), and he cannot restrict her from helping others just because he has her friendship and help. She has such ability and kindness, and there are too many people around her who need her help. He can't stop her and doesn't want to stop her.
The only thing he could do was to provide her with an environment that was as safe and quiet as possible. People like Zhou Li, who obviously had some purpose, had to be guarded against and observed.
He looked at Lin Tantan, who was walking beside him with a thoughtful expression, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about Zhou Li."
Ye Xiao: “…”
Lin Tan Tan said: "I always feel that this name is very familiar. I have seen it somewhere."
She was very sensitive about the surname Zhou because she really disliked some aspects of Zhou Yan and his descendants, but the name Zhou Li did not seem to be on the list of those she hated.
So where does this sense of familiarity come from
Suddenly remembering something, she stopped and grabbed Ye Xiao's arm, lowering her voice and shouting, "Ah, I remember, it's him! Zhou Yan's brother, Zhou Yan is his younger brother!"
Ye Xiao was dragged so hard that he almost couldn't stand still. He was surprised by the sudden burst of strength from Lin Tantan, and then he asked, "Who is Zhou Yan?"
"Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan is..." Lin Tantan's face was wrinkled, and her only remaining claws were clenched together as if scratching. She looked particularly gritting her teeth, making people feel that if Zhou Yan appeared in front of her, she would pounce on him and tear him to pieces in minutes.
But in the end, she didn't say it for a long time. She hesitated for a long time and still didn't say it. She lowered her head and said, "It's okay, it's nothing."
Ye Xiao frowned and looked at her: "Is he someone you know? Is he on bad terms with you? Or has he bullied you? Tell me, and I will help you solve it."
Lin Tantan wanted to say something, but she really couldn't. She was so depressed that she sighed and shook her head.
He refused to say anything, and Ye Xiao couldn't do anything about him. He thought about how she had deliberately sent him away last night to have a "secret" with Bai Cheng, and that she wanted to ask him for help again.
Ye Xiao frowned even more tightly. Did he look particularly unreliable, or was it difficult to gain the girl's trust
After talking with Lin and leaving, he thought about it and went to find Mei Baisheng.
Mei Baisheng has almost recovered now. On the surface, he looks no different from a normal person. These two days he said that he felt his superpowers were coming. When asked why he had this feeling, he said it was based on his intuition.
Anyway, Ye Xiao felt that this guy was very unreliable, but he couldn't resist Lin Tantan and got along well with him.
He found Mei Baisheng and said a few words. After hearing that, Mei Baisheng saluted and said, "I guarantee to complete the task!" Then he went to talk to Lin happily.
Mei Bosheng and Lin were chatting nonsense, and the topic turned to Zhou Li's convoy.
"… They don't have any standard meals. If you want anything, you have to fight for it. They don't keep useless people, so the overall level is quite high. They all have fierce eyes and smell bloody." Mei Bosheng said, "But if they can't kill zombies, they have to do logistics, rough and heavy work like washing clothes and cooking, and they eat leftovers, just like slaves in the old society. Tsk tsk, Zhou Li is quite thoughtful. With the class gap widened, it seems that the strong have special benefits and high status, which makes them particularly cohesive."
Lin Tan said casually: "Of course he is powerful." In the first year after the apocalypse, Zhou Li had set up a base. He was a thunder-type superpower, with strong superpowers and a good brain. He built a very good base. Zhou Yan lived under his brother's wings and was too comfortable. This comfortable life made him particularly fond of conspiracy and gang formation, and later he killed Zhou Li.
There is no evidence for this, but based on historical materials unearthed in later generations, scholars have speculated that Zhou Li was killed by Zhou Yan.
Mei Bosheng said, "You seem to be very familiar with Zhou Li?"
Lin Tantan looked at Mei Bosheng's heartless face and moved closer: "Meimei, can you help me find out something?"
"What's the matter?" Mei Baisheng suddenly became excited.
"Go and ask if there is a person named Zhou Yan in Zhou Li's convoy."
The names matched. Mei Bosheng touched his chin and said, "That's fine, but you have to tell me why you're asking about him, right?"
…
Ye Xiao waited for less than half an hour when Mei Baisheng came running back, "Boss, I found out everything."
Ye Xiao paused for a moment: "You asked everything?"
"Yeah, that Zhou Yan is really a piece of shit. Tan Tan said that he is a super invincible liar, a swindler, a schemer, full of evil, evil-minded, and likes to steal other people's credit. He is also very hypocritical. Do you think she has been deceived before?"
Ye Xiao: “…” Ye Xiao didn’t really want to talk. Mei Baisheng asked and he answered the question, but in front of him, he bit his lips tightly like a clam.
He felt something strange in his heart, an uncomfortable emotion, so much so that he began to dislike Mei Bosheng who kept talking.
"Tan Tan said, let me go find this person. If I find him, we'll find an opportunity to put him in a bag and beat him up. We won't stop until he can't take care of himself!"
Mei Bosheng didn't notice at all that his boss's eyes had turned dangerous. He asked again, "Boss, do you think I should be ruthless when the time comes?"
Ye Xiao asked coldly: "Do you still want to show mercy?"
"No, isn't it because she's afraid that Tan Tan is just angry?" He hesitated for a while, looked around, and leaned close to Ye Xiao and whispered, "Well, before, Tan Tan told me that she had someone she liked, and her tone was very sure and firm. I originally thought it was that Chen Zhihao, but that Chen guy is really not good enough. Tan Tan's taste can't be that bad, right? Looking at the way she gritted her teeth when she mentioned Zhou Yan just now, I figured, she can't be talking about this, right? Zhou Li is good-looking, and his brother should also be handsome, and he can be a good match for Tan Tan. If a young couple quarrels, can I get involved?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw his boss suddenly stand up, then stop, and after a moment he looked at him with a gloomy look: "She told you everything."
Mei Baisheng, this idiot, chuckled complacently: "Of course, we can play together. Boss, you are just too serious. It's okay to talk about business, but I don't even dare to tell you the truth from my heart, let alone talking about girls, not to mention that there is a generation gap between you two."
There is a generation gap...
There is a generation gap...
Generation gap…
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment, then slowly smiled at Mei Baisheng. Mei Baisheng shrank his neck, and then he felt his neck was a little cold.
The author has something to say: Ye Xiao: She tells everything to others but not to me!
Meimei (happily): balabalabala
Ye Xiao: Baby is not happy
Meimei (continues happily): balabalabala
Ye Xiao (dangerous eyes): She really told you everything.

Ye Xiao: The weather is getting cold, let’s kill the pigs.
