Outside, Bai Cheng was waiting for the two people inside to finish their conversation, still thinking about the information he had just received.
Ye Xiao has irreconcilable conflicts with the capital, so they have nothing to worry about. It's time to make a decision.
He planned to wait and see if Ye Xiao was in a good mood, and then have a good talk with him. Then the door opened with a click, and Lin Tantan came out with a gloomy face... Hmm, this expression is not right. Before he spoke, Lin Tantan said to him: "Bai Cheng, do you still have the potion you gave me when I lost blood last time? Ye Xiao needs to replenish fluids, and do you have any blood-replenishing ingredients? He needs to be replenished."
Bai Cheng was slightly startled, thinking something had happened to Ye Xiao, but then he saw the man following him out in good health, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
Bai Cheng blinked and said, "Yes."
Then Ye Xiao was given the medicine.
In the large room, except for the people who were patrolling and on night duty, everyone else was here, talking in low voices or resting. By one wall, a tall man with a pale face changed into black clothes, his hands and face were wiped clean, a needle was inserted on the back of his hand, drops of medicine flowed into his body through the blood vessels, and he was ordered to sit or lie down. If he wanted to wake up, the housekeeper-like girl next to him would glare at him.
Then I could only sit back in embarrassment.
Beside him, Bai Cheng was cooking porridge. He threw in red dates, red beans, longans, and purple rice, all the ingredients that could replenish blood. He was concentrating on cooking the huge pot, as if he didn't notice his friend's predicament at all.
"Oh right." Bai Cheng suddenly said, "Let's have a barbecue. I have fresh beef. Beef is good for your blood."
Then a large piece of raw beef that was red and bloody was taken out from the space, and then it was cut, marinated, and grilled. The group of people who were about to take a rest became excited. Although they often ate meat, good beef was rare. At this moment, everyone had only eaten some dry food, so a piece of steak would be the best.
With everyone helping, the work was naturally very fast. Soon the aroma of meat wafted through the room, making people's appetites grow. Lin Tan Tan also came over to watch with great interest. The first batch of steaks were freshly baked, so she was given two pieces.
She took it with a smile, and without a knife and fork, she used her special powers to cut it into small pieces. She picked up a piece for Ye Xiao with a toothpick and ate a piece for herself. The soft and tender beef was effortless to chew, and the fat flowed out, making her mouth full of oil but not greasy. The spices were just right, slightly spicy, which added to the mellow flavor of the beef. However, it would have been even better if there was sauce.
Lin Tantan felt a little regretful. He gave each of the mutant animals that came over a piece of meat and asked Ye Xiao, "Is it delicious?"
Ye Xiao paused: "Too tender."
Lin Tan gave him a blank look, thinking that a man who only knew how to eat meat with big mouthfuls really didn't know how to enjoy the beauty of tender beef.
So when the second batch of beef came out, she asked for the oldest piece and cut it for Ye Xiao: "Hey, how about trying this."
Ye Xiao took a look and thought that someone had roasted it badly. It looked dry and woody. He gnawed on it silently.
Lin Tantan sat cross-legged beside him with a smile on her face, with the plate on her legs. They divided the meat piece by piece. Of course, she still ate the tender beef. After eating the meat, the porridge was ready. The flame of the superpower cooked very quickly, and it was soon cooked soft.
She went to get a bowl, watched Ye Xiao finish it, and said, "Okay, go to sleep, lie down."
Ye Xiao looked at her and lay down obediently. He didn't think he could fall asleep. The pain all over his body was really not pleasant. Although he had adapted to the condition to the point where he could remain calm, it didn't mean he could really ignore it.
Sure enough, he couldn't fall asleep even if he closed his eyes. Lin Tantan had been paying attention to him. Seeing his eyes rolling around, he leaned over and whispered, "Can't sleep?"
"Um."
Being unable to sleep is not good for recovery. Lin Tantan frowned and thought about it. After a moment, Ye Xiao felt a hand covering his forehead, and warm and soothing energy was slowly sent in.
He opened his eyes: "You..."
"This is the only way we can try. Relax, don't resist, and close your eyes."
Her low voice became distant, and Ye Xiao's consciousness gradually sank, as if he was in a sweet dream, and soon he fell asleep.
Lin Tan Tan was a little surprised, it really worked. She raised her lips and her eyes were soft. She used her own healing trick to make Ye Xiao fall asleep. She had used this method on him in Yang City and it worked very well, but she didn't use it much later.
It was dark where they were, and since Lin Tantan was a girl, few people were looking over here. When Bai Cheng went to change the medicine for Ye Xiao, he found that he was already asleep.
He was a little surprised. Ye Xiao was very alert. He could not have fallen asleep normally without noticing someone approaching him, let alone now that they were outside, where the cries of zombies and beasts could be heard from time to time.
He glanced at Lin Tantan, then sat back down quietly.
The night passed peacefully. Lin Tantan did not sleep all night. When it gradually became brighter outside, people woke up one after another and started to eat breakfast.
Breakfast was freshly cooked white rice. When the aroma of rice gradually wafted away, Lin Tantan opened his eyes, took his hand away from Ye Xiao's forehead, and turned his sore shoulders.
She touched Ye Xiao's clothes, thinking she would feel sticky blood, but she found that his clothes were dry, or to be more precise, hard, and covered with coagulated blood.
She exclaimed and wanted to unbutton his shirt to see if there was any bleeding on his body, but her hand was suddenly held down.
Ye Xiao opened his eyes. Lin Tan said, "Ah, you woke up so quickly?"
Ye Xiao's eyes were extremely bright. He sat up from the ground, smiled and whispered, "If you don't wake up soon, you'll strip me of my clothes again."
"…" What do you mean you want it again? I had no choice on the boat before, okay? Lin Tan said seriously, "I'm a doctor now, don't let your imagination run wild."
She looked at him carefully: "How is your recovery?"
"Very good. I rested well last night and recovered much faster than I expected." It is no exaggeration to say that this was the first time Ye Xiao woke up feeling so refreshed. The weakness and pain in his body were greatly reduced. He was in a very good mood and his supernatural powers could be used. "Let's talk. Thanks to you."
Lin Tan Tan said with a smile: "That's good to know. You should listen to the doctor's instructions on your daily routine. I'm a professional."
Ye Xiao pointed to the window: "I'll go take a look."
"good."
Ye Xiao stood up and walked to the window. People in the room greeted him. They didn’t know what injuries he had suffered, but it looked like... he had recovered
Ye Xiao nodded one by one, walked to the window and opened the curtains, allowing dim light to come in. The processed wall outside was only three stories high, and they were on the fourth floor, so they could still see the situation outside clearly.
At a glance, there were quite a few pale zombies, but they were blocked by the high and smooth walls and could only stay outside without being able to do anything.
Such densely packed zombies may seem scary, but they are nothing to the twenty or so people. Especially since Ye Xiao is now able to use his supernatural powers and is no longer a useless person like before, he felt at ease after watching for a while.
Lin Tan Tan looked at his back, scratched his hair, felt a handful of messy hair, and poked the little hamster: "Give me my comb."
The little hamster spit out a comb, she grabbed it and combed her hair, then took a towel and spread it on her hands. Slowly, the dry towel became wet, and the flat edges fell off. She covered her face with the towel and wiped her face. As for brushing her teeth, she had to bear with it.
After cleaning himself up and putting on his shoes, he was about to clean up the floor where he had slept. But when he turned around, he saw a large human-shaped blood mark on the spot where Ye Xiao had slept. It looked very scary. Several mutant rats nearby were looking at the mark in amazement, and some were running around the edge.
Lin Tan Tan scratched his face and thought, forget it, this bed on the floor doesn't look like it can be used anymore, so he just left it there. He came to Ye Xiao and looked outside together: "Ah, there are so many zombies."
"Don't worry, they are all low-level zombies."
The room was a bit stuffy, so Lin Tantan pushed open the window. However, the wind that blew in was filled with a foul smell, so she quickly closed it again with a miserable look on her face. She didn't think it smelled so bad yesterday.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Xiao released a gust of wind to change the air in the room, then asked Bai Cheng for a small ripe mango and asked her to hold it in her hand and smell it.
Lin Tantan was a little embarrassed: "Oh, I'm not that delicate."
Ye Xiao rubbed her hair: "You are not squeamish, I want to protect my doctor and girlfriend."
Lin Tan Tan smiled happily, holding the mango that exuded a rich fruity aroma. It was so fragrant that he couldn't help eating it after smelling it.
Ye Xiao: “…” As long as she is happy.
After a while, when it was time for breakfast, Ye Xiao asked everyone to sit over and discuss how to break through and which way to go back. Lin Tantan held the rice ball that Ye Xiao had made for her and ate while listening. After listening for a while, she found that everyone had arranged something to do and she had nothing to do, so she stopped listening and concentrated on fighting the salted egg and sausage in the rice ball.
After dinner, it was daybreak. Everyone packed up and went downstairs. Lin Tan Tan carried the mutant animals and plants onto the small truck, closed the door, and then after Ye Xiao nodded, he dismantled one side of the tall siege.
The zombies outside rushed in all at once, and the psychics killed them with just a move. The rotten zombies fell down in groups. These psychics were all at level three, while these zombies included level one who moved slowly, level two who moved quickly and could run and jump, and at most level three who had awakened their powers but were not good at using them. They were no match for the psychics at all and died quickly and efficiently.
In the face of absolute strength, there is no need for a detailed plan. Just one word: kill.
Lin Tan Tan had already gotten into the car when everyone was chopping zombies. When the zombie corpses covered the entire yard, Ye Xiao used the wind system to clear the corpses, leaving a path. Everyone got into the car, and the cars drove out one by one, driving away along the deserted and dilapidated street, leaving behind a field of garbage that had been lifted into the air.
The road back to the base was long and full of bumps and bruises. Lin Tan was drowsy in the car that kept stopping and starting and taking detours. Ye Xiao still sat beside her and put her head on his shoulder: "If you want to sleep, take a nap."
His body was no longer fragile, so Lin Tan Tan approached him confidently. However, not long after he approached, the car braked suddenly and Lin Tan Tan almost crashed into him. Ye Xiao hugged her, and at the same time, a heart-wrenching howl came from the front.
Lin Tan opened his eyes and looked ahead. He only saw the back of a car. Then, a hurried voice from the person in the car ahead came from the communicator: "Captain Ye, there's a tiger! It's a mutant tiger!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a tiger roar, and then the car in front was quickly frozen. With a plop, a white shadow leaped high up, and the next moment it landed on the roof of the car in front, pressing the roof down slightly.
"Roar—" This is a white tiger with black stripes on its white fur. It is full of wildness and looks very beautiful. However, Lin Tantan frowned. She suddenly remembered that the people in their Zhengyang Brigade had encountered two mutant tigers, one of which had ice-related abilities.
It is said that they are two very powerful mutant tigers.
At this time, there was bright red blood on the white tiger's mouth. Combined with the screams just heard, it was obvious that it was biting a human.
I saw the white tiger open its mouth and a breath of white air was about to erupt from its mouth. It was obviously an extremely icy breath, the kind that could freeze a car.
Lin Tantan raised his hand without hesitation, and a red light pierced the front glass window. It quickly expanded after leaving the car, turned into a fireball, and hit the white tiger's mouth heavily.
The white tiger immediately determined that this was the fire that he disliked the most, so he immediately closed his mouth, turned around and flicked his tail.
The thick tiger tail knocked the fireball back, and it was about to hit the car. Lin Tan clenched his fist and the fire went out.
The white tiger did not get what it wanted either. Its first reaction to the fireball was to use its tail to deal with it, so it closed its mouth. However, it had a breath of cold air ready to be released, and this closure almost choked itself. Its body paused, and during this pause, an invisible drill formed by the air pierced heavily into its ear. It was caught off guard, and it fell from the roof of the car with a wail, and was captured by two psychics who pounced on it.
The pneumatic drill was naturally emitted by Ye Xiao. He got out of the car, and Lin Tan Tan followed him down. They came to the side of the white tiger and looked at this big guy from a close distance.
It was much bigger than an ordinary tiger, and each of the white hairs on its body was as thick and sharp as a needle. Ordinary attacks could not break through such a defense, but Ye Xiao directly attacked the ears. For this guy, the ears and eyes were weaknesses, and the weakness of the eyes was too obvious, so it must have been on guard, so the ears were easier to attack.
At this moment, the tiger fell to the ground, its belly heaving, blood flowing from its ears, a low roar rolling in its throat, and its two tiger eyes filled with beastly ferocity.
"Captain Ye, what should we do?" asked the man who captured him.
Ye Xiao looked at Lin Tan Tan and asked, "Do you want to raise one?"
“…” Lin Tantan was speechless. Did she look like someone who would want to pick up a mutated creature and raise it
She is also very picky, okay
She shook her head. “It should eat people, right? I don’t raise things that eat people, and I don’t like it.”
Ye Xiao: "Which one do you like?"
"It has to be something that pleases the eye, right?"
Ye Xiao thought of the mouse and the silly goose on the pickup truck, and understood. She just needed to go in the silly and cute direction, which would be a better match for her.
Just at this time, the others went to the front and brought back a wounded man. This guy was obviously the one who had just let out a scream. At this time, one of his legs was bitten off by the tiger, and he had many scratches on his body. His intestines were leaking out and he was dying. If the tiger had not been attracted by them, he would probably have died.
Ye Xiao said: "Kill the tiger and bring it back. As for this man..."
Lin Tan Tan had already gone over to check on the man's injuries. The man was sweating and pale, but he was still conscious and begged for help. When he saw Lin Tan Tan, his eyes suddenly widened: "You—"
Lin Tantan didn't find it strange. Many people in the base knew her. Suddenly she found out that she was one of the people who saved her. She felt that her hope of being cured was very high, so she must have been excited.
But Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and pulled Lin Tan to talk: "Don't be in a hurry." He looked at the injured person, and the other party's face changed when he saw him.
Ye Xiao asked: "Do you know us?"
"I, I..."
"You are not from the base, are you?" Ye Xiao squatted down and searched his body, pulling out a military knife and a magazine. "These are from the military factory, from the Capital Military Region. Are you from the capital?"
The injured man stammered that he had gotten it from someone else.
Ye Xiao ignored his explanation and continued to search him. His technique was very professional and he soon found a blood-stained ID card in his underwear pocket. He opened it and saw a few lines of words. His pupils shrank slightly. Lin Tan Tan leaned over to take a look and was also surprised: "A pilot of a magic plane? A magic plane!"
She looked at the injured person. He looked ordinary. How could he be the one operating that magical machine
Sympathy immediately filled her eyes. The magical plane was bound to explode sooner or later. Others might not even see the explosion after taking one or two rides, but the pilot would definitely die with the plane.
Ye Xiao's eyes became sharp, and he looked at the injured man and said, "You are Min Yande's man. You are the one who was responsible for picking up Ding Jinbo and his group? Are you still staying here?"
He had known about the existence of the magic machine from He Fan a long time ago, and had sent people to look for it, but they couldn't find it. He thought he had left because he saw that the situation was hopeless, but this person was still here. What did he want to do
The man kept his mouth shut and looked very tough.
Bai Cheng said: "He doesn't seem to be doing well. He should be out looking for food. If he is still guarding the divine machine, his activity radius must be around the divine machine. He should be nearby."
As he spoke, he paid attention to the other person. Seeing his expression change subtly, he looked at Ye Xiao and it was obvious that he was right.
Just as Bai Cheng was about to ask again, the man's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Well, it's normal to faint because of the serious injury and excessive blood loss.
Lin Tantan couldn't help but complain to Ye Xiao: "Other people will faint if they lose too much blood, but your blood seems to be fake."
Ye Xiao: …
They couldn't ask anything for the moment, and they didn't have enough manpower, so they could only note the location and think of a way to find the mysterious machine later.
After this episode, everything went smoothly. In the afternoon, they returned to the base safely. Lu Jianping, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting in the compound. As soon as he saw Ye Xiao get off the car, he came up to him and repeatedly stated that he had no knowledge of the assassination.
Ye Xiao said that of course he believed him, that everything was Han Ying's conspiracy and had nothing to do with Lu Jianping. He said a few words to appease Lu Jianping before bringing up the matter of the zombie tide again.
"A tide of corpses?" Lu Jianping was a little stunned.
"Of course." Ye Xiao said, "Although the four cross-river bridges have been destroyed, the zombie tide can still come back by the original route. We just bought more time, but the crisis has not yet begun."
Lu Jianping had been bothered by Han Ying's incident from yesterday to today, so he had no time to think about the zombie tide. When he learned that all four bridges were destroyed, he thought it was over for the time being. But when he was reminded of this, he became serious: "What do you mean?"
"I mean to weaken the zombies as much as possible before they get close to the base..." Ye Xiao and Lu Jianping started talking as they walked. Lin Tantan stared at him and gritted her teeth. If she were still the convalescent, such patients would be the most annoying and must be rejected.
But now, they were talking about urgent matters, and she couldn't disrupt them.
She went back to her little cottage on the hillside.
After washing herself and the mutant plants and animals, she sat by the pool and watched the people working in the planting area below. As she watched, she curled up in the chair and fell asleep, but she was suddenly awakened after only a few moments.
It was still the same dream. In the dark water, she couldn’t find Ye Xiao. She was extremely anxious. The panic and fear seemed to still remain in her heart. She felt a little depressed. Was she kidding? Was he really left with a shadow
She rubbed her head and saw that there were personnel movements in the compound, as if they were about to set out to do something. She was at a relatively high altitude and could see many places in the compound, so she could see many movements clearly.
What are you doing in such a hurry
In fact, not only the Zhengyang Brigade, but also Lu Jianping's troops were dispatched, and the command was handed over to the Zhengyang Brigade. This operation had only one purpose, to find out the movements of the zombie tide.
Lv Jianping's subordinates were confused: "Chief, those are 3,000 elites, and they are all handed over to Ye Xiao..."
Lu Jianping waved his hand: "Our common goal now is to fight against the zombies. He won't do anything unnecessary. You have to trust him."
The subordinates looked at each other, really not understanding why he trusted Ye Xiao so much. Lu Jianping smiled and said, "Do you know why everyone in the capital has fallen out with Ye Xiao?"
Subordinates: “?”
"Because they don't trust him. They could have been united with him, but because of distrust, they pushed him away, even to the opposite side. Isn't this asking for trouble?" Lu Jianping smiled. "This time Han Ying suddenly attacked, using artillery shells, but he didn't kill Ye Xiao. Who could kill Ye Xiao who was on guard? You see, those people will definitely regret it."
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with cruelty. He was very dissatisfied with Han Ying's behavior this time. If you have the ability, why don't you kill Ye Xiao yourself and use his fighter plane as a weapon on his territory? You don't even need to pay for your feelings!
Now he had lost his only fighter plane, and even one of the few remaining armed helicopters, and he was almost labeled as an accomplice of Han Ying... If Ye Xiao really died, who would deal with the remaining Zhengyang Brigade? There were tens of thousands of people, and Bai Cheng was leading a lot of third and fourth level supernatural people. What if Han Ying left and they blamed him
So when he learned that Han Ying didn't kill others but killed himself instead, he felt very happy. When he thought of the frustrated expression of someone in the capital, he felt even happier. At the same time, he became more optimistic about Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao arranged some things regarding the zombie tide and went to see Han Ying's people.
Han Ying left only a few dozen people, only twenty of them were his subordinates, and the rest were mostly their rescue targets.
These rescue targets are often high-level, such as relatives of important figures in the capital, or important figures themselves.
These people are now being detained.
Han Ying's men were placed in the prison, and the others were placed in the yard next to the prison.
The prison of the Zhengyang Brigade was not in the main compound, but in the new district, a square courtyard filled with single-story houses. It was very tightly guarded. There were currently more than 20 mercenaries living there, all of whom came for Lin Tantan and were undergoing labor reform. When Han Ying's twenty or so subordinates arrived, the place suddenly became very crowded.
Ye Xiao has not yet decided on how to deal with these people. According to interrogation, only a few of them knew about the A017 mission, and the others were unaware.
When Ye Xiao went over to see them, those who didn't know the situation looked confused and angry, while those who knew the situation rushed over to ask him where Han Ying was.
Ye Xiao stood outside the door, looking at their hateful eyes. He was silent for a while and then said calmly, "The zombie tide is coming. Don't you claim to be soldiers who defend your country and everything you do is for the country? Then go and contribute to fighting the zombie tide. If you can survive, I will let you go."
