Traveling To The Last Days To Protect You

Ye Xiao didn't know how to evaluate it, he felt that this girl's real style was exactly the same as seen in the surveillance. It was not wrong to say that she was skilled, but she seemed a little confused. Even if they wanted to admire her, they couldn't help feeling a little speechless.

Mei Bosheng obviously thought so too, so he asked, "It's so dangerous outside, why are you out here?"

I came out to find you.

Lin Tantan almost bit her tongue: 

"I came out.. came out.. came out to walk around."

Ye Xiao & Mei Bosheng: "..."

Lin Tantan also felt that the reason she made was stupid, so she quickly used her quick wit to remedy it: 

"No, I have something to do, but since I met you, are you here to pick up the Xu family? That’s where I came from, I’ll show you the way!”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Then we'll have to trouble you.”

“No trouble, no trouble." 

Lin Tantan continued to be intoxicated by his smile in her heart, feeling almost drunk, but she still looked very reliable on the surface, 

"There are ten... more than ten people in Mr. Xu's house now," she hadn't counted the people before she left. 

"Anyway, the situation is still under control. Originally, there were more than a hundred zombies around the villa, but then most of them followed me here. There will not be many zombies wandering around in the villa area now."

Ye Xiao said: "Let's talk as we walk."

"Okay, okay." It was impossible for Lin Tantan to say no.

Then Ye Xiao asked about the situation in the villa area and introduced the other two people to Lin Tantan. Lin Tantan immediately matched their faces with those in her memory when she heard their names. The tall, strong and bulky one was Zhong Xiong, known as Brown Bear, and everyone close to him called him Da Zhong. This man also died relatively early.

The shy one was Xu Li, said to be a descendant of an ancient martial arts sect. He used swords very beautifully and sharply. It was said that he could also use internal power*. Because of the huge contrast between his appearance and strength, this person was still very popular even three hundred years later.

People who have read martial arts novels might be familiar with this term. But for all those who don't understand, internal power is a form of special power inside the bodies of martial artists that can't be seen physically but provides great strength to its owner. (This is my own interpretation of this power which might be wrong but this is what I understand from this term.)

He lived for a long time along with Ye Xiao and Bai Cheng, until the last year of the apocalypse when both he and Bai Cheng were murdered by someone. The others had already died in previous years.     

Lin Tantan glanced at Xu Li's sword, then smiled and nodded at him. She was also thinking in her heart, where was Bai Cheng? Why didn't she see him?     

That's right, Bai Cheng basically played the role of a military adviser, the one sitting in the rear; his mobility was not outstanding, and the abilities he got later were not offensive, otherwise he wouldn't have been killed in the end.     

Lin Tantan suppressed her urgency to capture a pair of CPs alive, and glanced at the corpses of zombies all over the floor. It was a pity, they were all crystal nuclei!     

But now was not the time to talk about it. She had to think about how to bring up the crystal nucleus, she was not afraid of showing her "well-informed" appearance in front of Ye Xiao, but she was worried about being suspected.     

Ye Xiao was a very vigilant person; with meticulous observation. If he suspected her intentions as evil intentions from unknown sources, it would be difficult to gain his trust again. How could such a thing happen? She had to mix into their group, otherwise how could she be with them all the time!     

Lin Tantan was thinking about it here, but she didn't know that the "very vigilant and meticulous" man beside her had already looked at her several times.     

The group entered the villa area very smoothly. The scattered zombies were not threatening at all. There were only a few dozen zombies left around the Xu family villa, and they were quickly cleaned up.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the people in the villa came out excitedly. Mr. Xu held Ye Xiao's hand vigorously: 

"You are Ye Xiao? Thank you very much, thank you very much, you have really worked hard, come in quickly."

Ye Xiao refused his invitation, only saying: 

"You all should clean up, we will leave immediately."

"Leave immediately?"

"Can we go home and get something? Our house is very close."

"Comrade, can you help me by telling me what I should bring along?"

"Did you come here by car? Where are we going?"

"My husband hasn't come back yet, can you wait?" 

When people heard that they were going to leave soon, they immediately started asking questions. 

Before meeting Lin Tantan, Ye Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong with these people, but now he thinks they are grumpy. We worked so hard to save you, do you think we came here just to look at the scenery all the way? Did they still think outside this area was still the same beautiful world as before? If they didn't move quickly, they would be late for their other tasks.

The funniest thing was that when they had let those people wait here, everyone was looking forward to the rescue, but now that they were here, no-one was in a hurry to leave.

Lin Tantan frowned. Ye Xiao was not really angry, he told everyone that they were only given 20 minutes, and it didn't matter if they didn't want to leave, they could just stay by themselves, no-one would force them to leave. Anyways, there would be troops coming in to rescue them later, and they could follow the army afterwards.

"When will the army come?" The middle-aged woman asked Ye Xiao as her eyes lit up.

Ye Xiao said: "Ten to fifteen days would be the minimum." 

The middle-aged woman was speechless for a while, and then said: 

"Aren't you soldiers?"

The words "it is your obligation to protect me" were written on her face directly.

Lin Tantan couldn't stand it any longer, so she said out loud, 

"Auntie, it's none of your business whether he's a soldier or not. Haven't you heard that he's here to pick up Grandpa Xu's family? It's already good enough that they are taking you along. If you want to leave with them, just hurry up; go back and clean up, don't hold everyone back, the zombies will come around after a while, can you help fight?"

Mei Bosheng, who had become impatient and was about to say something, was overtaken by Lin Tantan, and he couldn't help but look at her differently.

Ye Xiao also glanced at her.

The middle-aged woman choked: "Who are you calling aunt! Didn't you little girl go to the university town, why did you turn back again? Isn't it because they have guns in their hands and thus you want to hug their thighs? Little girls nowadays have just too many thoughts."

"I--"

This sentence was an eye-opener to Lin Tantan. Before that, she thought that this woman was very well-dressed. Although whenever Grandma Xu gave her food before, she was stared at by this woman a few times, but generally speaking, she should be a well-cultivated lady, so this sentence was quite unexpected.

Ye Xiao quickly held down Lin Tantan who was about to jump, frowned slightly, and looked at the middle-aged woman coldly: 

"I have already said, I will leave in twenty minutes... there are still nineteen minutes left."
