Lin Tan Tan followed Ye Xiao out of the office area, only to find that many people had come outside. Xu Qin and Xu Li were there. After asking, he found out that they had brought some people here as soon as possible, but Ye Xiao happened to be returning to the base at that time. Even the gatekeeper of the base knew that she was taken away for "fighting". He came over as soon as he heard about it, and his speed was the fastest.
Lin Tantan felt like she had done something bad and was taken to the police station, and then she had to ask everyone to bail her out, so she thanked them in a reluctant manner.
Ye Xiao opened the car door: "Get in, I'll take you back to the villa."
"Villa? But I still want..."
"Take a rest in the afternoon. Your hand is still injured." Ye Xiao actually always felt that she arranged her schedule too tightly and was busy all day long. He didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing so, but he didn't want Lin Tan to make himself too tired, not to mention what happened today. He now felt that those hired bodyguards were indeed unreliable.
Lin Tantan looked at her hands. The side effects of Zhou Li's lightning ability were still there. Her arm muscles were still twitching slightly. The wood ability was not like other abilities. It needed to be used very precisely and carefully. It was indeed not very convenient for her to continue treating people like this.
She looked around: "But I don't want to go back either."
Suddenly I saw that the exterior of the car was covered in blood and there were several dents on the front of the car. It was obvious that it had been through a brutal battle. "All this blood..."
"We found a group of mutant goats, and they were the ones that hit the front of the car."
"You are so strong, did you catch them?"
Seeing her excited look, Ye Xiao said with a smile: "We caught a lot of them. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Okay, okay. I'll tell Mingze."
She climbed into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and took out the intercom. Her fingers were obviously weak and trembling when she pressed the keys. Ye Xiao followed her into the car, closed the door, glanced at her, pursed his lips, and suddenly reached out his big hand to press her head: "I really want to keep you by my side."
"What?" He spoke in a low voice, and Lin Tantan didn't hear clearly. Mingze's voice came from the intercom at that moment, and she hurriedly said, "Mingze, I won't be there for a while, you stay there... He's out now, it's okay, everything is fine."
After hanging up, he asked again: "What did you just say?"
"Let me ask you, when will the free clinic end?" Ye Xiao started the car and backed out.
"It should be soon. This shantytown is the last one assigned to me. This round is over. What's left is to look back and see if there are any seriously ill patients in the shantytowns ahead. Those with tendencies to transform into corpses or awaken have also been found. Most of the remaining patients can basically heal on their own."
"That's good." Ye Xiao didn't ask any more questions and drove to their territory on the east side of the base.
Compared to yesterday, there are more earthmoving trucks here, constantly digging up soil from other places and dumping it on the ground to raise the ground. There are several piles of steel bars piled up nearby, some are neatly bundled, probably found in the factory, and some are bent and deformed, with some cement blocks on them, probably dug out from other buildings. Some are steel plates, and some are cylindrical.
There are so many of them, and Lin Tantan is simply amazed. Is this really the harvest of the day? Is the efficiency too high
In addition to steel, there were some other building materials, even a pile of red bricks and a pile of bags of lime powder.
The most outrageous thing is that there are two cement trucks.
Where did they rob this person from? She couldn't help but glance at Ye Xiao.
In addition to these, there was a truck nearby, and people were moving sheep down from it.
The mutant sheep were white and brown, and were one or two times larger than ordinary sheep. Their horns were also thick and large, and their hooves were strong and powerful, like calves. However, some of them were either dead or had their limbs tied up, and they kept bleating, and their calls were rougher than those of ordinary sheep.
A crowd of onlookers gathered around and marveled at the huge mutant sheep. Most of these people couldn't even get enough food, and their eyes turned red with greed at the sight of the meat, but they still had doubts about whether the meat was edible.
“Is this really edible?”
"Will you turn into a zombie if you eat it?"
"Are you stupid? If they can't eat it, can they bring it back?"
A car drove up while everyone was discussing. Everyone made way for it and saw two celebrities getting out of the car. Then everyone stopped looking at the sheep and stared at Lin Tan, as if she was even more elusive than the mutant sheep.
Lin Tantan felt strange being stared at. She looked over and saw that these people were dodging and avoiding her gaze, as if she were some scary existence that was going to hit people if they disagreed with her. She stepped back one after another.
"..." He just defeated a lightning-type mutant, but his fame spread far and wide
Bai Cheng came over: "Is everything settled?" He looked at Lin Tan Tan and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be an earth-type mutant."
Lin Tan was surprised: "Did it spread so quickly?"
"Of course, you have to know how explosive this news is."
Lin Tan thought, no wonder these people looked at her like that, with awe and curiosity, but she was used to being the focus of attention, and after feeling uncomfortable at first, she adapted well. When she walked to the group of sheep, a strong smell of mutton and the unique smell of mammals immediately came to her.
She didn't mind squatting there and watching a man seriously checking each sheep. He put his hand on the sheep's belly, feeling it for a moment, as if he could confirm something.
Lin Tantan looked at it strangely.
Ye Xiao explained to her: "His name is Liu Jian, and his ability is to be able to identify whether food materials contain toxins and whether they are edible."
The serious man named Liu Jian stopped what he was doing and said to Lin Tan in a serious tone, "Hello, Miss Lin."
Lin Tantan stood up quickly: "Hey, hello."
Then he went back to checking the sheep, with the meticulousness of a man born to live in a laboratory.
“So can all these sheep be eaten?”
"Yes, any that have been checked are fine." Liu Jian said concisely.
Bai Cheng added: "We have checked outside and all the live sheep are edible. We roasted one and ate it. But these sheep have been dead for an hour or two, so he needs to check them again."
Lin Tan Tan nodded. Most of the animals that were edible before the apocalypse can still be eaten even if they have become mutated species after the apocalypse. But there are exceptions. Many people died in the apocalypse due to accidentally eating poisonous animals and plants. Such caution is necessary.
And no wonder Ye Xiao was so confident in taking action against the mutated animals and plants. It turned out that with a superpower like Liu Jian, identifying edible ingredients would be a very simple and safe thing.
When people nearby heard their conversation, some of them shouted that they wanted to taste the mutant sheep.
Bai Cheng then had someone skin and cut into pieces a dead sheep that had been confirmed to be edible and roast it over the fire.
The meat was cleaned by a water-based psychic and roasted by a fire-based psychic, and sprinkled with some spices. Immediately, the aroma of meat wafted around, with a bit of mutton and fishy smell, but not very strong. Instead, the smell of spices became stronger, mixed with the aroma of meat, and coupled with the tempting picture of the fat being slowly roasted and dripping onto the flames, everyone present was salivating.
Bai Cheng said in a clear voice that this first sheep would be distributed to people for free, and each person could get one piece.
These words made people's eyes redder. Although there were still many people who valued their lives and dared not eat the meat, there were even more people who were about to starve to death. When they heard that there was free meat to eat, they didn't care whether it was poisonous or not. Besides, didn't they say that a person with special abilities had checked and found it was edible? They had even eaten one themselves.
So there were still a lot of people who wanted to get the meat, and some people immediately ran back to call their family and friends to come and wait, thinking that it would be a waste not to eat the free lunch.
As more and more people came, Bai Cheng asked those who wanted to get the meat to line up. Later, when he saw that there were too many people, he asked people to slaughter two more sheep. These two sheep were chopped up and stewed in a big pot. He threatened that there were only these three sheep, and after they were distributed, there would be no more.
Lin Tantan saw that he had organized free tasting with just a few words. Now that there were people who could test the poison and promote mutton for free, he thought that the mutton business would be able to open up, so he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Ye Xiao watched with Lin Tan for a while, then asked her, "Is your hand really okay? Do you really not need to go back to the villa to rest?"
"No, no, it's fine here. I'm a wood-type mutant myself, so this little tremor will heal soon."
"Then you stay here and be with everyone. I'll be away for a while." Ye Xiao said.
"Where are you going?"
"Leave the base, some people haven't come back yet." It was still early before dark. The reason he came back so early was mainly because Bai Cheng's space was filled with steel and other construction materials, and there was also a truckload of mutant sheep. He sent Bai Cheng and the sheep back first. He had planned to leave after sending them back, but who knew that he suddenly heard the news that Lin Tantan had been captured.
I don’t know what’s happening to those people outside now, but Ye Xiao is not too worried. If they can’t withstand the danger from the outside world after leaving him for such a short while, they are not worth his attention.
Ye Xiao spoke to Bai Cheng again, mainly asking him to keep an eye on Lin, and then took Liu Jian and several others away.
Bai Cheng smiled at Lin Tan and said, "Okay, from now on don't leave my side."
Lin Tan Tan also heard Ye Xiao's instructions and touched his nose: "Do I give people the impression that I will get into trouble if I don't keep an eye on it?"
No, I'm worried that you'll be bullied if I don't keep an eye on you. Bai Cheng thought to himself, Ye Xiao's last look just now was as if he wanted to put him in his pocket and take him away. If he didn't think it was more dangerous and hard outside, he might really do that.
The first sheep was roasted quickly and the distribution of the meat began. Most of the people queuing were skinny. Some came empty-handed, and some brought bowls. They stared at the pieces of meat on the fire with eager eyes, even with green light in their eyes. Bai Cheng sighed and asked someone to give each of them a piece or half a palm-sized piece of meat. If the meat had bones, they would get more.
Those who got the meat gobbled it up ravenously regardless of whether it was hot or not, with a hissing sound and a mouthful of oil. They would not miss even a single spice, which made those who were not in the queue and were not very hungry start to eat it.
After the first roasted lamb was distributed, the stewed lamb was also cooked. Only a little salt was added to the lamb soup, so the taste was not as good as the roasted lamb. But because it was broth, the meat was looser and not as salty as the roasted lamb. It made people feel fuller with the soup and made them eat it in large quantities.
Lin Tantan was hungry and wanted to eat, but Bai Cheng stopped her: "This is only salted, it doesn't taste good. Go back and ask the chef to cook a few dishes before you eat."
"Okay." Lin Tantan didn't insist, but it was boring to watch others wolfing down their food. He looked at the dozen or so live sheep and asked, "Are we going to keep these sheep?"
She saw someone working on a fence over there. The ones who were busy were the engineering group she saw yesterday. They were filling the land over there, and they had nothing to do, so they started working on the sheep pen. Lin Tan Tan ran over to take a look and said that these mutant sheep were big and strong, so there was no way a sheep pen made of wood and stone could trap them.
The engineers were very excited, as if they had finally stopped having to eat for free and had been given the opportunity to prove their worth. They told Lin that the wooden piles and stones were just the foundation, and that they planned to do this and that and they would definitely make the sheep pen into a super sheep pen that was both beautiful and sturdy.
"Oh, so you have to pile mud on this foundation. There's no need to go through the trouble of mixing the mud. I can do it." Anyway, the earth-related ability has been exposed, so there's no need to hide it anymore.
She even felt a little itchy.
As she spoke, she spread her feet slightly, took a breath, and stomped her foot. The next moment, the wood and stones that formed the wall were covered with yellow-brown mud from the bottom. More and more mud continued to spread to both sides and upward, completely wrapping up the wood and stones, and becoming thicker and more solid. After just a few minutes, a circle of mud wall that was half a person's height and thirty to forty centimeters thick appeared before everyone.
Lin Tantan retracted his supernatural power and looked at the work in front of him. Hey, the lines are not straight enough, the walls are thicker in some places and thinner in others, it's not beautiful enough, but overall it's still okay.
She smiled and glanced at the engineers: "Is this the effect? Isn't it a bit too short?"
The engineers looked confused. They touched, patted, and scratched the earth wall again and again. It was hard and solid, not at all like ordinary soil that would loosen up if touched. The soil was fine and firm, as if it was made of adobes made from the best clay that had been repeatedly pounded. The quality was absolutely impeccable.
Is it really that simple
It's not that they didn't think of asking earth-type psychics for help, but earth-type psychics can only throw clods of earth, place earth spikes, and dig the ground. The most they can do is to build an earth wall in a short period of time. They have never thought of building a wall of dozens of meters in a stable and stable manner in one go.
Their eyes lit up and they looked at Lin Tan Tan as if they were looking at a peerless architectural genius, the kind that could paste paper on the wall.
