Traveling To The Last Days To Protect You

Chapter 85

Ye Xiao still disagreed, but Lin Tantan’s meaning was very clear. If he wanted to go out without her, he had to take her with him.

Going to save someone in the dark in the middle of the night, and the person he saved was an acquaintance. What if one of them got excited and the other got distracted and got himself into trouble? She couldn't stop him, so she bought him insurance.

Ye Xiao said: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me."

"Since you are so sure, it's okay to take me with you, right?" Lin Tantan also said.

Ye Xiao said that he was worried that she would be in danger if she went out, so she had even more reason to do so. Since it was so dangerous, how could she not follow him? She could save her life when necessary.

Ye Xiao couldn't convince her. Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, he felt anxious and helpless, but also felt warmed. He didn't even feel the discomfort in his body.

Lin Tan Tan used his earth-related abilities to make himself a small platform and sat down cross-legged, determined to fight him to the end.

The mutant rats in several puddles were awakened by their noise. They got up, shook off the water on their bodies, and came to her to act coquettishly. Lin Tantan took the little hamster out of her arms, asked it to spit out some nuts, and shared them with everyone. The two swans also woke up and cackled twice.

The backyard suddenly became lively.

Lin Tan Tan touched this one and rubbed that one, combed their fur, and set fire to roast their fur. The fur would be softer and more beautiful after being groomed. If there were any small insects between the fur, they could also be cleaned up. Every mutant mouse liked this process very much, which was both comfortable and beautiful.

But they seemed to sense that the atmosphere between the two was not very good, and they were all very well-behaved and not as noisy as usual.

Lin Tan Tan said as he was busy: "You don't have to hesitate too much. I'm not someone who needs protection all the time. I'm not bragging, but in the team, no, in the entire base, no one is more confident than me that they can escape from the zombies unscathed."

Ye Xiao thought of her many methods. The zombies should have been killed by her before they got close. Then he thought of the gold barrier that was like a golden bell. He had to admit that she was right.

Lin Tan Tan added: "Even if you leave after dawn, I will go with you."

Ye Xiao was helpless: "Talk about it."

Lin Tan Tan said, "Stop talking. There's nothing to discuss about this. Besides, I haven't been out for a long time. It's good to take a look at what's going on outside. Otherwise, I won't be able to live comfortably for too long and even the zombies won't kill me."

Ye Xiao didn't think it was necessary for her to go out and suffer, but she had already made up her mind and he couldn't persuade her. If she got stubborn, there was no point in talking about it.

But he also made a concession and decided not to go out after three o'clock and would go out after dawn.

Lin Tan Tan looked at him, and seeing that his expression didn't seem too reluctant, he felt relieved. It wasn't too dangerous to rescue people during the day. Ye Xiao had rescued people before when he went out, whether they were survivors he met on the road or people trapped by zombies, and nothing had gone wrong.

But she was a little curious about who Han Ying was that made him care so much about her.

Ye Xiao said: "We grew up in the same compound and have a very good relationship. The elders of our two families are also close friends." Although they had less contact after growing up and joining the army because they went to different units and had different development directions, they had cooperated and competed in exercises, and met and cooperated in actual tasks.

As he talked about Lin Tan, he looked at him and it was obvious that he had a good relationship with Han Ying. If she hadn't already stolen her away, she would even worry that Han Ying was his confidant. Bai Cheng would have to back off because it was obvious that Han Ying had a deeper connection with Ye Xiao.

Lin Tan Tan went back to find Bai Cheng and asked him if he knew Han Ying. Bai Cheng said he knew him and had met and worked with him before. He was a generous and straightforward person.

Bai Cheng said, "I told you that Ah Xiao was adopted. I don't know much about his childhood, but he probably didn't have a happy life. Han Ying helped him a lot." He sighed, "Don't be angry with Ah Xiao. Han Ying has come to him for begging, he can't just do nothing. He was able to restrain himself and not rush over immediately, which was very considerate of everyone." With the current Zhengyang Brigade, if Ye Xiao insisted on organizing people to go out for rescue immediately, he could do it. But as Lu Jianping said, sending people out to rescue at this time would be exchanging the lives of others with the lives of his own people.

Han Ying's life is valuable, but what obligation do the team members have to sacrifice for someone else, especially a stranger

Ye Xiao took this into consideration. He was worried about his old friend, but he didn't want to hurt innocent people.

Lin Tantan looked thoughtful. If that was the case, then Han Ying really had to be rescued. I hope he can hold on until dawn.

After three o'clock, Ye Xiao returned to normal and immediately got up and prepared. He contacted Han Ying again, and through the most detailed map and his understanding of the terrain near the base during this period, he guided them to find a good place to hide, and then prepared to set out for the rescue.

He gathered the two strongest combat teams and asked for a few people from the medical team. They drove empty vehicles that were large enough to carry more people, and they were ready to go in the parking lot near the base gate.

The sky gradually brightened.

Lin Tantan was sitting in the leading van, dozing off a little sleepily. This was the van where Jiang Xiaotian had stayed during the migration. There were some equipment in the van, and Jiang Xiaotian was leaning against the side and dozing off. Sitting in the driver's seat was Mei Bosheng, who was also squinting his eyes to rest.

The three of them returned to the car.

When the chickens in the sheepfold in the Zhengyang Brigade compound in the distance crowed, the three of them woke up at the same time. Jiang Xiaotian yawned and said, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Actually, he seldom left the base often, but since the person being rescued this time was an old acquaintance of Ye Xiao, and he had to locate him and maintain communications, Jiang Xiaotian was worried that others might not be able to do it well, so he personally took the lead, and Mei Baisheng also came to help and acted as a driver.

Lin Tan Tan looked at the gray sky and said, "It's almost time." At this time, the passenger door opened, and Ye Xiao got in the car. He looked at Lin Tan Tan apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for making you work so hard. Are you sleepy? It's okay to take a nap first."

Jiang Xiaotian & Mei Baisheng: What about us? We are also sleepy and need care and gentle words!

Lin Tan Tan rubbed his eyes and said, "Don't be so polite. Besides, I came here on my own. Can we set off now?"

"I have already informed the gatekeepers and they opened the door for us to go out. I am leaving now." Ye Xiao said to Jiang Mei and the others, "Thank you for your hard work today. Let's cook a table and have a drink later."

There is no such thing as sweet and gentle words.

But the two of them also laughed, and Mei Bosheng smiled and said, "That's what you said." Then he started the car.

The car drove to the gate of the base. The two heavy and thick doors slid to the sides under the power of electricity, making a unique mechanical sound.

As soon as the door opened, the car drove out, followed closely by the vehicles behind.

Lin Tan Tan sat in the back seat, holding onto the driver's seat and the front passenger seat, and stared outside the car with wide eyes.

It was the end of January when she entered the base. More than two months had passed in a blink of an eye. Compared with most people, she lived a life of luxury. She had never left the base and had no idea what the outside world was like.

As it was still dark today, looking around, everywhere was bloody. Outside the base, there was a clean road created by the wheels of cars. There were many dead bodies lying in other places. Some were fresh, obviously killed by the people guarding the city wall last night. Some were old, probably lying there for many days without anyone dealing with them. Some had broken arms and legs but were still struggling. They saw the car coming out and whistling towards them.

Ye Xiao took a look and waved his hand, and the zombie that was still struggling died.

In addition to the corpses, there was a lot of garbage and abandoned vehicles on the ground. The further away from the base you looked, the more garbage there was. Everywhere was silent, desolate, and dilapidated. The houses near and far had black doors and windows, and looked like a haunted house.

The cold wind of the early morning blew in from the car window. Looking at this doomsday scene, Lin Tantan couldn't help feeling a sense of desolation in his heart.

Seeing that she was watching seriously, Ye Xiao said to her, "Let's change positions so that you can see it clearly, okay?"

Lin Tan Tan shook his head: "No need, we can see it here too."

Because of the daily traffic, the road from the base to the nearest town is very clear. However, once you enter the town, the terrain view is no longer open and dangers gradually emerge.

Because it was not yet completely light, the zombies were in their final active period. Lin Tantan suddenly saw a zombie jumping between three or four floors of a building, like a nimble monkey, or one or two shaky shadows flashed by in the shadow of the building, and there were also the roars of zombies coming from nowhere.

There were also wild dogs digging in the garbage dump, huge rats peering out of the sewers, and large black birds chirping sharply on the roofs.

All this creates a tense and dangerous atmosphere.

And this is just the town closest to the base, with the lowest risk factor, so ordinary people can't leave the base at all, and if they do leave they can only wander around nearby.

Ye Xiao reminded the vehicles behind to keep up through the intercom, and Jiang Xiaotian began to type on the keyboard: "The location is still at the original position, they haven't moved." He released two drones on the roof of the car and began to capture images of the surrounding area.

Lin Tantan looked outside the car for a while and felt his neck a little tired, so he sat next to Jiang Xiaotian and looked at the pictures on the screen.

Really... The more I look at it, the more desolate it becomes. Compared to more than two months ago, this city has become much more dilapidated.

As the sun gradually rose higher, the zombies became less and less common, but a group of them would still suddenly appear as if they were ambushing, but they would always be dealt with by Ye Xiao and the people in the car behind in the first time.

We drove on and off along the way. We set out at five o'clock and finally arrived at the destination at eight o'clock.

At this time, the place was surrounded by a group of zombies, and the entire street was blocked. These zombies who smelled the human scent would not give up easily. Even when the sun was slanting and their night was over, they were unwilling to leave.

The approaching car also made them hear the noise. The zombies on the outermost edge all turned their heads and then rushed over, howling wildly.

Several cars have formed a car formation with the help of the terrain. Ye Xiao and Mei Baisheng went out, but Lin Tan Tan did not go out. She looked at the zombies with rotten and hideous faces running towards the front of the car, and was a little frightened by their speed. It was too fast. In a blink of an eye, the distance of dozens of meters seemed to be shortened.

But the fact was that they were knocked away by visible and invisible supernatural powers before they got close. Even if a few of them jumped in front of the car, they were quickly killed.

Whirlwinds rose into the sky among the zombies, and flames and lightning also fell into the zombie group.

"Ga! Ga!" The calls of birds rang out at this time. Lin Tantan immediately looked up and saw several large black birds circling in the sky, staring at the living people on the ground. There were also several creatures that looked like dogs but were not dogs standing on the high roof, and they seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to move.

Damn, most people can't handle this. However, the two combat teams plus Ye Xiao and Mei Bosheng were indeed very strong. They continuously released their special powers and ammunition, and quickly chopped down the zombies like chopping vegetables, and even shot down the birds in the sky.

Suddenly, there was a roar of zombies coming from behind. Lin Tan got out of the car and saw a group of zombies suddenly rushing out on the street behind.

"Earth elements, stop them!" someone shouted, and several Earth elements immediately erected an earth wall on the ground.

Lin Tan Tan frowned slightly. She stepped lightly and saw a huge earth wall suddenly erected on the street. The wall rose up quickly. Within a few seconds it reached a height of three or four meters and was still rising. The wall was very wide and blocked the entire street.

Several earth system people who were working hard to erect an earth wall were stunned.

They watched helplessly as the earth wall finally rose to a height of seven or eight meters. In the past, even if the earth wall could stop the zombies for a while, they would soon be piled up like a pyramid and then flipped over from above the earth wall. However, an earth wall seven or eight meters high...it would definitely not be possible to flip over in a short time.

The threat from the rear suddenly eased, and the zombies in the front were almost dealt with.

The ground was covered with zombie corpses, making it difficult to drive the car. Two wood systems sent out vines that quickly moved the zombies on the middle route away, allowing the car to pass.

They soon arrived at the place where Han Ying was surrounded. It was a bank. The main door was closed from the inside and the rolling shutter was pulled down. However, the glass door and rolling shutter on the outside were almost broken by the zombies.

Ye Xiao dealt with the remaining zombies at the door and contacted Han Ying for a few words. Someone from inside the bank responded soon. Ye Xiao directly chopped open the two doors with several wind blades, revealing the situation inside the bank. Corpses fell to the ground, and the ground was covered with blood. Several men and women came out from the counter, holding guns in their hands, their bodies covered in blood, and looking at the people outside vigilantly.

Ye Xiao looked at the man walking in front, and Lin Tan Tan also looked at him. He was a tall and strong man, probably about the same age as Ye Xiao, but now he had a big beard, messy and thick hair, and he looked very untidy and weathered.

Standing face to face with Ye Xiao, who had killed his way through but had almost no dust on his body, they seemed like two generations apart.

Ye Xiao looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief: "Han Ying."

Han Ying grinned at Ye Xiao and punched him: "You kid, you finally came!" Then the two of them hugged each other tightly.

Ye Xiao, who had not been stained at all along the way, was immediately hugged and became dirty, and a huge bloody handprint was left on his body.

Lin Tantan's mouth twitched. After the two separated, she looked at Han Ying and said, "You are injured."

Han Ying was slightly stunned and looked at Lin Tantan, who was fair-skinned and pretty, and didn't look like someone who should be here at all.

Ye Xiao introduced: "Han Ying, she is Lin Tan Tan, Wood type."

He did not mention the relationship between the two. Firstly, it was not appropriate to say too much here, and secondly, it was not appropriate to introduce them in that way. Lin Tan Tan came out as a wood-type mutant, so he naturally introduced him that way.

Then Ye Xiao asked: "Are you seriously injured? If you can still walk, let's leave here first. How many of you are left?"

Han Ying looked at Lin Tan and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked everyone else to come out. There were a sparse number of men, women, young and old, and it looked like there were less than a hundred people.

Han Ying touched his face and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone else has died. After entering the bank, we found that many people were infected and many died. There are only so many left. Can the car accommodate them?"

"There's room for everyone, get in the car." More than just room for everyone, Ye Xiao arranged the cars according to the capacity of several hundred people, and now most of them have to go back empty.

Han Ying asked everyone to get in the car while Lin Tan watched coldly. These people had dazed and numb expressions as they had experienced a night of life and death struggle. Most importantly, they looked at the rescuers with cold eyes and some even showed hatred.

Lin Tan Tan raised his eyebrows slightly, the bad guess in his mind turned out to be true.

This matter is indeed difficult to explain. You ask for help in the middle of the night, but the other party does not rescue you at that time and only comes after dawn. The rescuing party has its own reasons and difficulties, but what would the party being rescued think

You might wonder why you didn't come earlier. If you had come earlier, so many people wouldn't have died. What's the point of coming so late now? The dead cannot be resurrected.

The mood of gratitude will be distorted because of this. Not to mention gratitude, it is possible that the hatred caused by the fear of losing loved ones and companions will be vented on the rescuers.

If they were not acquaintances, in this kind of situation, since you didn't help them in the beginning, it would be best not to care about it later, so as not to say anything good and get yourself into trouble. Now Lin Tantan had really guessed it right.

Fortunately, she watched with a cold eye. There were only a few people with hatred in their eyes, and Han Ying was not one of them. It seemed that she didn't mind at all that Ye Xiao came at this time.

She looked at Ye Xiao. His expression was calm. He was talking to Han Ying while paying attention to the movements around him. He had obviously noticed the gazes of some people. Although his expression did not change, Lin Tan knew him well and knew that he took it to heart.

As long as he knows it, that's enough.

These people got on the car, and the convoy hurriedly left the place. A few minutes after they left, the earth wall that had blocked the zombies for a long time collapsed, knocking down many zombies.

On this side, Han Ying was sitting in the car with Lin Tan and the others. He was indeed injured and had been shot. It was said that after they entered the bank, someone suddenly discovered that someone had been captured by zombies, and they started making a fuss. In the chaos, some people panicked and fired shots, and then they shot at each other, making a mess. Han Ying was shot at that time, and he lost three kilograms of blood.

At this time, Ye Xiao quickly removed the bullet for him, and Lin Tantan began to treat him.

Han Ying thanked Lin Tan Tan and said, "You are the legendary Lin Tan Tan."

Before Lin Tantan could speak, Ye Xiao frowned slightly: "You know that too?"

"Of course, I have connections with the capital. Who among those who have connections there doesn't know the name of the only person with three-series abilities?" Han Ying teased Ye Xiao, "It was thanks to her that I also knew that you were in the Ning City base. Her reputation is much better than yours now."

Ye Xiao's expression was not very good: "You said you wanted to go back to the capital. You don't need to come to Ning City to go back to the capital, right? Did you take a detour here on purpose?"

Han Ying sighed, "It's not really a detour. I'm actually quite close to Ning City, so I came to see you." He paused, stroked his hair, and said, "Let me be frank. I've also accepted the task from my superiors to take this three-element superpower user with you away."

Seeing Ye Xiao's expression change, he quickly said, "Of course I'm not being rude like some people. I want you to be persuaded and go back with me."

He sighed, "I heard that you have very strong abilities now. With this little girl, you guys are wasted in Ning City. Maybe you don't know that there are several very powerful zombies lingering near the capital. According to the classification of the Academy of Sciences, they are now level 4 zombies, and there is a trend of evolving to level 5. They have become a serious threat. Ordinary people will die if they encounter them, and those who have the ability to defeat them are either unable to be commanded by the military, or are treated as treasures and dare not be easily released to take risks."

Lin Tantan suddenly asked: "So you hope to coax Ye Xiao back to fight those zombies?"

Her voice was cold, lowered by several degrees, bringing out a bit of cold and unhappy low pressure. Han Ying looked at her in surprise. Although he knew that she was a three-series mutant, he felt that she was still Ye Xiao's subordinate. Now he was talking to Ye Xiao as a friend, but she suddenly interrupted... Before, she was also the one who suddenly said "You are injured".

Han Ying smiled at Lin Tan and said, "Little sister, you don't know how terrifying a level 4 zombie is and how many people it will kill. If we allow them to continue to evolve, one day we will be completely no match for them, so we must kill them while we still have a chance."

Ye Xiao frowned and was about to speak when Lin Tan said coldly, "You are very conscious. I believe you will rush over and fight them when you get to the capital."

Han Ying seemed to not hear her sarcasm at all. He raised his head and said, "Of course. If I had the ability, I would definitely go. Even if I don't have the ability, I will still try. Someone has to make sacrifices. If everyone shrinks back, then there will be no hope for humanity."

Lin Tan Tan: “…”

Turns out he's just a fool.

She turned her head and said nothing, and even stopped the treatment. Anyway, the bleeding had stopped. Let this passionate guy use his passionate heart to heal himself.

Then Han Ying turned around and persuaded Ye Xiao, talking about dedicating himself to the motherland and the people.

Ye Xiao said calmly: "I don't plan to go north at the moment."

Han Ying frowned: "I know you and Min Yande have some conflicts. Why don't you come to us? Commander Xu values you very much. Besides, if we work together, we won't do anything shady like Min Yande and his people. The capital really needs powerful psychics."

Lin Tan Tan: Comrade, as someone who wants to poach people, could you please not make such high-sounding statements to scare people over to add to your power, and even make it sound like you are fighting for the hope of all mankind.

She couldn't help but say, "Ye Xiao is also needed here. Are the people in Ning City not human beings?"

Han Ying frowned: "Little sister, can you please stop interrupting us when we are talking about business?"

Lin Tantan was stunned for a moment. Jiang Xiaotian, who was listening to Han Ying's words happily like a fool, also raised his head from the computer. Even Mei Bosheng, who was driving, looked over. Ye Xiao's face completely sank: "Han Ying!"

He growled, his eyes cold: "If you have this attitude, get out of the car immediately."

Han Ying looked at him in disbelief, and sat up straighter than before.

Ye Xiao just looked at him coldly. He was unhappy when he called Lin Tan Tan "little sister" for the first time. Lin Tan Tan was his Achilles' heel. As early as when Li Qun's people spoke rudely to her, he had secretly made up his mind that he would not let anyone despise her. He did not expect that it was his old friend who had just been rescued who did such a thing.

Ye Xiao reached out to Lin Tan Tan and asked her to come over, away from Han Ying. He raised his hand to touch her hair and said to Han Ying, "Tan Tan is the most important person in our team. You can't call her a little sister. Besides, no matter who speaks, she has the right to express her opinion. Han Ying, apologize."

Han Ying was stunned for a long time, his face slowly turned red: "You, you..." You actually embarrassed him like this for a woman!

But he also knew that he was in the other party's car, and the other party had come to rescue so many of them. He took a deep breath, looked at Lin Tan, and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Lin, I'm sorry, I just said it casually, unintentionally, don't take it to heart."

Lin Tantan looked at him with some admiration. He seemed to be a reckless and rude man, but he was able to lower his head so quickly. He was really adaptable.

But the meaning of "We men are talking, you ignorant little woman, don't interrupt" didn't hurt her, but it was really boring. She didn't want to talk to him anymore. She said goodbye to Ye Xiao and sat in the passenger seat. Without her, Ye Xiao and Han Ying still talked, but they were no longer as warm as before. The atmosphere between the two old friends who had been reunited after a long time and had a good relationship just now became completely cold.

On the way back, we encountered some zombies, zombie animals, and mutated animals, but we dealt with them all easily. It was only eleven o'clock when we got back to the base.

The car drove directly to the outside of the Zhengyang Brigade compound, but did not drive in. Han Ying got out, and although he still looked a little embarrassed, he was a little surprised to see such a place with four big characters "Zhengyang Brigade" written above the gate. The handwriting was powerful and quite impressive. "Is this your territory?"

Ye Xiao nodded slightly.

Han Ying said as he was about to walk in: "You're doing well here!"

Bai Cheng happened to come out with his men at this time, and greeted Han Ying with a smile: "I'm here, everyone has worked hard, I've prepared a place for you to rest, I'll take you there."

It seemed as if he was not walking towards the compound, but going to another place.

"..." Han Ying pointed to the courtyard: "Isn't it here?"

"Ah, not here. There are no extra houses here. The house I have prepared is in another place, and the conditions are also good." Bai Cheng said considerately, and then after these two sentences, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, mainly because something was not right between Ye Xiao and Han Ying. Ye Xiao, who was anxious and angry before leaving, was now standing aside with a somewhat cold expression. He did not treat Han Ying as warmly as he had imagined, but just treated her like an ordinary acquaintance.

He was a little surprised, but didn't say anything. He just said some polite words and said that since some of their people were injured, he would send two Wood Element soldiers to them.

Originally, he didn't need to send this wood-type mutant, after all, Lin Tantan was here, but when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately made this arrangement. These two wood-type mutants were not part of the medical team, but he planned to pick two of them directly from the clinic outside.

Ye Xiao said at this time: "Where is the place? I will take them there."

Bai Cheng said it was a residential building next to the villa area. Ye Xiao nodded and left with Han Ying and others. Bai Cheng turned around and asked what was going on with Mei Baisheng who stayed behind

Mei Bosheng chuckled and said, "How does the saying go? A dragon will get angry if its reverse scale is touched. I always thought that was a stupid saying, but now it seems to be true."

Bai Cheng understood as soon as he heard it. It seemed that the people from Han Ying's side might have offended Lin Tan.

This could only be the reason. Even if Ye Xiao was directly unhappy with him, his expression wouldn't be so ugly.

As expected, Mei Bosheng said, "That guy was mean and disrespectful to Tan Tan, so the boss got very angry."

Bai Cheng looked at Lin Tantan, who was in a good mood. He walked to the gate of the compound and looked at the busy scene in surprise: "Are they relocating?"

Bai Cheng said: "It's just relocation."

"Hasn't the appointed time come yet? Is the house completely dry? Isn't there still some finishing work to be done?"

"It's already completely dry. The finishing work is just simple interior decoration. You can take care of it after you move in. We're all waiting to live in the new house." Bai Cheng said to Lin Tan with a smile, but when she saw his foxy smile, she felt there was something deeper behind it.

Sure enough, Bai Cheng went on to say that after these people moved in, he asked a logistics team to clean up some vacant rooms in the residential building next to the villa area and give them to Han Ying and the others to live in.

Lin Tan Tan: “…”

So the early relocation is to make room for people

Bai Cheng said: "I originally thought there would be several hundred people, and it would be difficult to arrange them all at once, so I came up with this idea. I didn't expect the number of people to be less than expected."

This is really a very realistic thing. If there are hundreds of people, it will be difficult to find a place to accommodate so many people. After all, they are Ye Xiao's old friends, and the conditions cannot be too bad. Since there are many new houses in Zhengyang Brigade, they can't be sent to live in shacks. But letting people live in the compound is definitely not possible, so they just occupy it first.

In addition, Bai Cheng also wanted to build up the compound before Han Ying and others entered the base, so he moved in advance.

Lin Tan Tan didn't know that he had so many thoughts. He walked into the compound and looked at the busy people. Those who lived nearby and had less luggage walked here. Those who lived far away and had more luggage, or who needed to move furniture, pulled carts or drove cars, and they brought things into the compound one trip after another.

Everyone had a smile on their face and didn't feel tired at all.

There are a total of thirteen residential buildings in the compound, and they are all only six stories high. It’s not that we don’t want to build them taller, but the steel materials are limited. The higher the floors, the higher the engineering requirements.

Buildings 1 to 5 are single dormitories, suitable for one person or two people to live together. They are long and thin rooms, each with an area of more than 10 square meters, with a balcony and bathroom, but no kitchen. People eat in the cafeteria. There are more than 20 dormitories on each floor, and these five buildings can accommodate 800 to 1,000 people.

Rooms 6 to 13 are small two-bedroom apartments, suitable for a family to live together. Each apartment is about 30 square meters, and there are 16 rooms on a floor. If the average family has four people, then nearly 3,000 people can be accommodated.

Of course, this is not the case in reality. For example, the leader of a combat team has a small two-bedroom apartment. If he is a bachelor and does not care about living conditions, he can move to a single dormitory and give the small two-bedroom apartment to someone who needs it more. There are also people in the logistics team. Each person has a half dormitory, but if a family is a member of the team, they can apply for a small two-bedroom apartment together.

In short, there is still a lot of flexibility. And this indicator is given to everyone, but everyone still has to pay some contribution points for housing. People who buy big houses pay more and those who buy small houses pay less. You can get extra subsidies by selling big houses. In short, no one will suffer a loss.

But even so, there are still more than a thousand people without houses to live in, so if you want to live in a house in the compound, you have to rely on luck and draw lots. Those who don’t get a chance can only wait for the second batch of houses outside the compound. Although not living in the compound may be a disadvantage or make people feel insecure, there are also some compensations, such as larger houses and lower rents.

Anyway, there are many complexities in allocating housing, the kind that would give Lin Tan a headache just by listening to them. It is also difficult for the Housing Office to handle it properly. Today, those who have obtained the residence qualifications can move their belongings and take their housing license plates to receive their houses and move in.

At this time, the empty houses became lively and full of people. From time to time, people's exclamations could be heard, such as how the stairs were so wide, the windows were so bright, the ground was so flat, and there were faucets and squat toilets, making it seem not much different from before the end of the world.

Lin Tantan watched everyone busying around, and thought of the haunted houses outside the base, he couldn't help but smile. Houses are what people desire most, especially in times of turmoil and danger. Having a good house to live in can make people feel at peace, and when they feel at peace, their hearts will be united.

For example, when some forces were carrying out construction, people were complaining that they were doing this with great fanfare and investing all their manpower and material resources into housing, which was putting the cart before the horse. They knew nothing! What's the point of shouting slogans loudly and making big promises? If you can't even give people a decent house to live in, how can you last long

Moreover, as long as they are not the ambitious people, most people's wish is to live a good life instead of thinking about how to become the king. Therefore, the real focus is to let people live a good life, improve the quality of life, and improve various conveniences. Improving strength and prestige are just to serve this purpose.

Han Ying kept saying that people like Ye Xiao would not be wasted if they went to the capital, but in Lin Tantan's opinion, leading these people to settle down in Ning City was no less meaningful than going to the capital and killing a few zombies for tens of millions of people.
