The migrant workers' team in Yang City became famous.
Although it was difficult to pass information under the heavy rain, many people heard about it. Those who were trying to recruit some people from Yang City were dumbfounded. Didn't they say that the team would be disbanded on the spot? Didn't Ye Xiao have no intention of developing his own power? In the end, the team was disbanded, and a working team was set up again. What was he going to do
More people are focusing on the fact that these people are paid so damn high by the military.
Ningshi Base has a population of several million, and the base cannot support so many people for nothing. If you want to survive, you have to find a way to earn food. However, there are only so many jobs in the base that can earn food, and compared with the huge population base, they are not enough. The labor force far exceeds the demand, and the salary is naturally suppressed to an extremely low level.
And now, a group of people who have just arrived at the base can find such high-paying jobs the next day. They can earn a living from the military without joining the army. Isn't it enviable
"Why don't we go too?" Somewhere in the base, a person with superpowers had the intention to do something. There were only a few things that could be done on a rainy day. Instead of staying in the house, it would be better to go to the city wall and kill zombies to earn some food.
"It's raining so heavily, and some zombies can climb up the city walls. It's too dangerous." Some people also objected.
"I think we should join the Youth League. They treat us really well and provide us with food and drink." Someone else said.
Needless to say, this is a person with special abilities who has not yet or is unwilling to find an organization. At present, people with organizations always have a good life. Even if it is a person with special abilities, it will be difficult to fight alone, especially when there are family members to drag down.
"I heard that a few days ago, the Qingying Society and the Gale Team fought outside for supplies, and dozens of people died." Another person said, "After those people died, their families were kicked out of the Qingying Society."
The others were silent for a moment.
The first psychic who spoke suddenly said, "Anyway, I'm going to try it tomorrow. My mother is sick, and I have to get her something nutritious to eat."
So many people followed the example of the Yang City Work Team and wanted to use their combat power to exchange supplies with the military. However, the military was not a charity. First of all, they didn't want those whose superpowers were not strong enough. What they wanted were those who could really kill a lot of zombies. Secondly, it was impossible for them to offer such a high reward.
As a result, at the end of the day, the psychics did not get what they expected. There was also a tragedy in which the psychics disliked each other, and during the scuffle, they fell from the slippery city wall and were eaten to pieces by zombies.
After hearing about this, the migrant workers in Yang City checked their safety ropes again.
On February 1, which was the fourth day of the heavy rain, when the work team came to work again, other people with special abilities came up to them and expressed their desire to join.
Bai Cheng smiled slightly, finally someone came.
He felt the foundation of these psychics, and only those who were strong enough were willing to stay, and helped them negotiate with the officers stationed on the city wall. After they succeeded, he led these people to Ye Xiao: "Ah Xiao, these newcomers today, please take care of them."
Ye Xiao looked at him, without saying a word, led the people away and arranged their positions. Basically, they used the same superpowers together, such as ice, swamp, wood entanglement, domain confinement and other control-type superpowers to freeze the zombies first, and then used lightning strikes, wind blades, gold blades, ice spikes, water arrows, earth cones and other attack-type superpowers.
If you want to inflict maximum damage with limited abilities, the method and rhythm of attack are also very important.
On the fifth day of the rainstorm, some more psychics came. On the sixth day, the team continued to grow. On the seventh day... a huge group of them directly occupied a large section of the base wall. The scene of a group of people throwing their psychics down there was spectacular. They killed all the zombies under that section of the wall. For a while, there were not even enough zombies to replenish them, but they were busy collecting the crystal cores.
Such a large shed appeared inside the wall of the base. Every morning, people with special abilities came one after another. After their strength was tested, those who met the requirements signed their names, received a certificate, and then went to kill zombies. Lunch, dinner and the day's wages were all collected with the certificate.
The soldiers felt very sad to see the food flowing out, but they had to admit that the pressure of the zombie siege was indeed reduced a lot.
The rain continued for ten days before it showed signs of abating, and Bai Cheng had finally made a name for himself. He openly hung up a brokerage sign and took a certain percentage of the agency fee. He not only introduced people with special abilities to fight zombies on the city wall, but also took on other business.
For example, if there was serious water accumulation in the base and it was necessary to dig canals to drain the water, he would communicate with the street managers and call on a group of young and middle-aged men and several earth- and water-based ability users to take on the job.
For example, when there were continuous heavy rains, every household was damp and the clothes couldn't dry, so he got some fire-type mutants who were particularly frustrated on rainy days to do the drying work.
For example, if after days of rain, a part of the city wall was damaged and needed urgent repair, he could take on this kind of task.
He is even willing to take care of things like leaking houses that need repairing, messy homes that need cleaning, inconvenient shopping, and mountains of garbage that no one is dealing with. His business items are numerous and detailed, even more detailed than the official recruitment forms.
In order to do this well, he also called some of the managers in the team and hired them to work for him, and asked Jiang Xiaotian to set up an electronic system for him.
At first, Lin Tantan didn't understand why he had to do such laborious work, but after a few days, looking at the several large rosters of the base's personnel and seeing people coming up every day to apply for jobs or recruit workers, she began to understand.
These people are like flowing water, bringing all kinds of information and unknowingly accumulating deep and broad personal connections.
In the end, although they did not form their own power, the things they knew, the forces they mobilized, and the influence they exerted were no less than if they had formed their own power.
After understanding this, she admired Bai Cheng even more. The title of the National People's Congress Chief Steward was not given for nothing. Ye Xiao also knew the significance of this matter, so he cooperated especially well, right
While sighing, she also got some information from it: more and more people in the base were getting sick.
At first, it was just a common cold and fever after being caught in the rain, but it gradually developed into a severe flu, and many cases of infection occurred.
Lin Tantan felt a little complicated.
Therefore, she would not refuse anyone who came to her for medical treatment because of this disease, and she also asked Bai Cheng to record her into his intermediary system to advertise and let more patients know that there is a healing psychic who can treat diseases here. Of course, it is only limited to this time's influenza patients.
As the advertisement was put up, many people came to see her for medical treatment. Not wanting to bring germs into the villa, Lin Tantan rented a few houses outside the villa area. After asking Mingze and several other healing wood-type psychics, they were all willing to come, and thus a small clinic was established.
"Ms. Lin, the conditions here are too simple. Please go to our base hospital, the conditions there are excellent." The result of the small clinic becoming famous was that not only patients came but also all kinds of strange characters. For example, the person in front of him was from the base medical department, and he praised the base hospital as a paradise, as if Lin Tan would be at the peak of her life as soon as she went in.
Lin Tantan was a little tired after a busy morning, so he leaned back in his chair and said, "The base hospital is so good, there should be a lot of wood-type mutants recruited by you, right?"
"That's it!" the other party was very proud.
"Since there are so many people with special abilities, I won't go. If you are not sick, just leave." Lin Tan Tan directly called for the people outside to clear the area.
The expression of the person opposite changed, but when he thought of the two backers behind Lin Tan and his own strength, he could only leave reluctantly.
Lin Tantan said to the people outside: "Don't let in people who are not sick." In order to maintain order in the small clinic, security guards, primary doctors, cashiers, etc. are indispensable. She didn't bother. Bai Cheng didn't run such a big agency for nothing. He brought the best and most reliable people to Lin Tantan, who were basically acquaintances. The security team leader was Jiang Zhongyi.
Jiang Zhongyi leaned over and smiled: "Okay, got it."
Therefore, those who came a step later and wanted to use the excuse of seeing a doctor to get close to Lin Tantan and win him over could only stay away at the initial consultation counter - ordinary doctors here would ask about medical history and take body temperature, etc., and they would not be able to fool people without any illness. If a sick person talked nonsense with Lin Tantan during the treatment process, there was a high probability that he would be listed as a person who was not allowed to visit, so Lin Tantan had a lot of peace of mind.
Xu Tianjin is one of those who arrived late.
He was not sick. He had finally found an opportunity to come with his sick companion just to see this person who had the same name as Doctor Lin.
Maybe just a homonym
He had never figured out which "tan" the other party was, and he didn't dare to ask around, so he could only try to recognize his face. However, after squatting for a long time, he didn't even see a shadow. The other party's clinic was at the innermost part, and it was heavily guarded from the outside. Even if the door was opened a crack, he couldn't see the person inside. He could only see the three big words "Dr. Lin" on the door.
These three words made him even more anxious.
After waiting for two hours, it was finally his companion's turn. He was lucky enough to get an appointment with Lin Tantan. After only five minutes in and out, his companion's complexion had improved a lot. The symptoms of dizziness, stuffy nose and phlegm were gone. He said foolishly, "Just come again tomorrow. Wood-type mutants are really amazing. He didn't need to take medicine or injections and only got better in a few minutes."
Xu Tianjin asked hurriedly: "What does she look like?"
"Pretty good-looking, young as people say, with short hair..."
Xu Tianjin was speechless.
The two of them went to pay the bill. After getting an appointment, they paid the general fee first. Now they have to pay half of the remaining half, and they will pay the full amount after they recover.
This money can be used for supplies or crystal cores. Depending on the patient's condition, it can be ten to dozens of kilograms of food, or ten to dozens of crystal cores.
No one can tell whether this is expensive or not. For a drug that can cure the flu, the price is worth it, but for people with limited abilities, the price can kill them.
Xu Tianjin's companion was the one who paid for the supplies. He paid for flour, a total of 20 kilograms. He had already paid 10 kilograms before, and this time he paid 5 kilograms.
He took out a bag of flour, checked the quality and weighed it, registered it in the booklet and entered it into the computer. His companion also got the payment receipt. He looked painful and sighed: "It turns out that talents are really amazing. She earns so much from one patient. How many patients can this Lin Dafang see in a day? I heard that many forces want to recruit her. Can they afford this price? If I can earn so much every day, I would be stupid to work for others."
Xu Tianjin was absent-minded and found an excuse not to go back with his companions. Instead, he turned back halfway and continued to wait in the clinic lobby.
He thought that he could always wait for someone to come out.
Then this guy who frequently looked into Lin Tan's clinic caught Jiang Zhongyi's attention.
Who is this plaster? This was Jiang Zhongyi's initial thought. However, he saw the other person again on the second day, the third day, and the fourth day. He felt something was wrong. What was this guy trying to do by coming to stake out every day
He didn't tell Lin Tan Tan about this. His sister had worked so hard and he couldn't let her worry about these messy things. He told Bai Cheng directly.
When Bai Cheng learned about this, he thought about it and told Ye Xiao without hesitation.
He has to protect his sweetheart himself.
These two people really haven't had much interaction these days. See, he is such a considerate and good comrade.
Ye Xiao has indeed been busy these days. The zombies on the other side of the city wall are very stressful, and Lin Tan Tan also has his own things to do. The two of them only have the chance to meet at night. However, Lin Tan Tan basically stays in her room after dinner and never comes out. Ye Xiao has fewer opportunities to talk to her than Jiang Xiaotian, the otaku, who has two patients.
That’s right, except for Cheng Qinan who has not yet awakened his superpowers, Xu Qin lived up to expectations and had a high fever after being caught in the rain for several days, and also showed signs of awakening.
Ye Xiao also wanted to get sick.
After receiving this news, he looked at the zombies outside the city wall. Today, there was only a little rain, and the zombies were not that crazy and their numbers were decreasing. He decided to leave work early today.
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at Lin Tan's place. The persistent squatter was still squatting there stubbornly, wearing a hat and a coat, trying to reduce the familiarity of him to the people here by changing his vest.
However, in the bustling and not very large hall, Ye Xiao still saw this guy with a sneaky aura at a glance.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Xu Tianjin suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around quickly and saw a tall man in a black coat standing not far away. He looked at him indifferently with a cold look in his eyes.
Xu Tianjin first felt danger intuitively and his scalp went numb, then he recognized this person, Ye Xiao!
He swallowed.
He himself was not a fan of Ye Xiao, but as a patient of Lin Tantan for more than half a year, he had a lot of contact with her and knew her better than most people. He knew that she was a die-hard fan of Ye Xiao, so he also learned about some of Ye Xiao's deeds, and admired and regretted this man who died young.
But at this moment, when their eyes met, he felt an overwhelming sense of crisis as if he was being stared at by a hunter. Only then did he fully realize that the so-called number one in the apocalypse was not just talk, it was really... extremely scary.
Compared with him, Zhou Yan, the ultimate winner, is simply ordinary as dust.
Even if we put aside Lin Tan's doubts, he suddenly began to doubt his own choice. Was it really right for him to cling to Zhou Yan
Ye Xiao came over and asked casually, "Are you here to see a doctor too?"
Xu Tianjin came back to his senses: "No, no, I came here with a friend."
"Oh, really? I seem to see you these days. Is your friend very ill?" Ye Xiao said slowly, scanning him from inside to outside like a ray of light. Xu Tianjin's calves trembled. In the past few days, he was worried that Zhou Yan would find out something, so he came here at short notice. Today, he finally had time to wait until the clinic closed, thinking that he would be able to see people this way. Who knew that such an evil spirit would appear.
He was afraid that Ye Xiao would continue asking questions, and he was even more afraid that Ye Xiao would tie him up without saying a word and run away with an excuse.
Ye Xiao didn't chase after him. He was just an ordinary person, not even a superpower, so there was nothing to worry about.
The only thing that concerned him was that this person was related to Zhou Yan.
He is the person whom Lin Tan Tan wanted to beat up. Ye Xiao still hasn't figured out what the relationship between him and Lin Tan Tan is, but this doesn't stop him from keeping an eye on Zhou Li. He knew on the first day that Zhou Li and Zhou Yan would meet up in the base. Moreover, this Zhou Yan is quite good at business and is not an unknown person in the base. With the addition of Zhou Li and his forces, the two brothers are doing very well now.
The reason why I didn't tell Lin Tan that Zhou Yan was also in this base was mainly because I couldn't get away for the time being. I was afraid that she would want to beat him up or something after hearing this name and I couldn't accompany her. It was also for the purpose of investigating this person more thoroughly.
It seems that we should not keep it secret any longer.
He sat down on a chair near Lin Tan's clinic. The feeling of waiting for someone to get off work was quite novel. He looked around and took out a wind crystal core and absorbed it silently.
Because his aura was so strong, it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person, which created a vacuum around him. This was very special in the crowded hall. There might be people in the crowd who came with other intentions, and they all quietly retreated when they saw him.
Jiang Zhongyi spotted him and came over to him: "Captain Ye, you're here. I'll tell Sister Lin."
"Don't bother her. I'll just wait here." Ye Xiao asked, "Is there anyone causing trouble here?"
"No, Sister Lin said that those who cause trouble will be put on the blacklist. Who dares to cause trouble? It's just that there are too many people. The number has to be queued for more than ten days. Sister Lin is receiving more and more numbers every day."
Ye Xiao frowned slightly, and then he saw people coming in and out of Lin Tantan's room frequently, one every few minutes. Those who came in looked sick but full of expectation, and those who came out had smiles on their faces and looked relaxed.
As for other psychics, it may take more than ten, twenty minutes, or even more than half an hour to enter or leave the consulting room.
Ye Xiao waited for more than two hours. During these two hours, Lin Tantan saw more than twenty patients.
In the end, all the other psychics finished their work and left, and Lin Tantan was the last one to come out.
She was wearing a very fluffy dark pink down jacket, which seemed to be called a down jacket. Her upper body looked like a ball. She was holding a thermos cup in her arms and yawning. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes with the back of her wrist. When she saw Ye Xiao standing up from the chair, she paused, with some surprise and joy in her eyes.
"Why are you here? Why are you back so early today?" Usually, he would come back after she had been gone for a long time, and it would be completely dark.
Ye Xiao felt a little relieved, thinking that as long as he was happy, he would be fine. He thought that the boy was addicted to hiding from him.
He said, "Come and see you, are you leaving?"
"Well, I'm leaving." Did the male god come here specially to wait for her? Lin Tantan was in a good mood, and the tiredness from sitting all day was swept away. "Wait for me to wash my hands."
She could release water, but she didn't want to expose her water ability, so she tried not to use it. She ran to the sink, and a girl who was putting water into a bucket to clean the clinic poured the water on her hands.
Lin Tantan was rubbing her own hand with one hand, and she didn't care if she couldn't rub the back of her hand.
Ye Xiao moved his feet on the spot, but finally stopped.
Because Lin Tantan said no but her body was clearly avoiding him, Ye Xiao didn't dare to be too close to her now, for fear of touching her nerves and making her shrink even more.
Lin Tantan washed her hands very carelessly and then patted her chubby down jacket without any care, leaving wet handprints on it. She looked at the clear water in the bucket and thought that some people could not even drink water, so it would be a sin to use such good water to wipe the table and mop the floor. However, since it was a clinic, it still had to be kept clean.
"You guys should get off work too." She said to Jiang Zhongyi and others. Usually, Jiang Zhongyi and others would escort Lin Tantan back to the villa by car. Lin Tantan thought it was too exaggerated. This place was very close to the villa, so what kind of accident could happen? But they insisted on not doing so, which made Lin Tantan's going in and out very grand. Today, she was finally able to get rid of them.
Jiang Zhongyi looked at Ye Xiao and found that he did not object. He smiled and said, "We'll leave after we finish cleaning and lock the door." There were still some supplies that had been collected in the afternoon and had not been taken away yet.
Lin Tan nodded and said to Ye Xiao: "Then let's go."
She would not take a car back to the villa, unless it rained heavily again, otherwise why waste gasoline? Today the rain was particularly light, just like a drizzle. Lin Tantan was about to leave, and Ye Xiao pointed: "Wear a hat."
"Oh." Lin Tantan obediently raised her hand to turn over the hood of her down jacket. The hood was too big, so she had to hold her chin with one hand, and she was holding the big thermos in her left arm. Ye Xiao couldn't bear to watch it, so he took the thermos from her.
Lin Tantan smiled and said, "Thank you."
Ye Xiao thought that he should prepare an umbrella. He looked at the short and fine hair that stuck out from the edge of her hat due to her rough movements. A bunch of hair stuck to her eyes. She stretched out her hand to push it away, but the hat fell off. She smoothed her hair, but it became messy again when the hat covered her face. The broken hair rubbed against her face and made her feel itchy. She had to press on the hat with her left arm and use her free right hand to push the hair behind her ears little by little.
Ye Xiao watched her fiddle with it for a long time, and raised his hands several times.
"I'll help you." He finally said this with a straight face, but Lin Tan quickly finished it: "It's okay, it's okay."
Ye Xiao felt a little regretful.
Then he saw her suddenly looking at a certain place in front of her with a surprised expression on her face. He looked over and saw the habitual criminal standing behind a pillar on the roadside, staring at Lin Tan Tan with a look of shock, disbelief, trance, ecstasy, grief, confusion, hesitation, and trepidation...
Ye Xiao had very good eyesight and could see the expression on the other person's face clearly. It was that kind of expression... the expression when someone you thought you would never see again suddenly appears in front of you after a long separation. It was like a lost child who suddenly found his relatives and wanted to recognize them but didn't dare to.
This was not an expression that most people could show. Ye Xiao's heart trembled, and he immediately looked at Lin Tan Tan, only to find that Lin Tan Tan was filled with surprise and confusion, looking at him as if he were a stranger.
Lin Tantan "forgot" what happened in the past. She only told Bai Cheng about this matter because she deliberately avoided Ye Xiao and said it. Bai Cheng felt that her wishes should be respected and did not tell Ye Xiao.
But Ye Xiao is not stupid. He can figure out some things without checking. Especially after he focused his attention on Lin Tan Tan, it is impossible for him not to see clues from their conversations and daily observations.
So now another person who knows her but she doesn’t know appears
Ye Xiao suddenly thought of Chen Zhihao, and the person in front of him was obviously more affectionate than Chen Zhihao.
His face was darkening.
Xu Tianjin looked at the face that was at least 70% similar to Lin Tan's. His previous suspicions and guesses were strongly confirmed. Even though he still had many doubts and uncertainties, tears still flowed down his face. With tearful eyes, he ran towards Lin Tan and said, "Doctor Lin..."
Ye Xiao dodged and stood in front of Lin Tantan.
He was tall and blocked Lin Tantan completely, leaving only one side of his chubby coat visible.
Xu Tianjin slammed on the brakes and shuddered at Ye Xiao's cold and sharp aura, like a small animal being stared at by a wild beast, with all the hairs on his body standing up.
The author has something to say: Midnight snack: There are always unruly people who want to steal my wife!
