Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Running Away from Ho
Ever since Lin Tianhui found out that Su Jin wanted to have a cesarean section, she had learned about the entire process at the base hospital.
In the space, everyone listened carefully to the information Lin Tianhui had gathered from Xu Mingzhi, and ultimately, everyone unanimously agreed that a cesarean section was the best option.
“Think about it, after the surgery for Xiao Jin, the wound can heal imdiately, and the cesarean section surgery only takes about 20 minutes to complete, which is very convenient,”
Lin Tianhui said. She had always thought natural childbirth was the best, and had even contacted the doctors for it, but she had never thought of combining it with “Healing Elent Ability.” If it hadn’t been for Liu Mo bringing it up, she wouldn’t have known that her daughter had already considered it privately.
“That’s good, that’s good, now we old folks can rest assured,”
Li Xiuying also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Childbirth for the older generation of won was very dangerous, especially for those pregnant with twins; natural childbirth was particularly painful. Now hearing about this thod, she felt genuinely happy for Su Jin.
“The apocalypse isn’t all bad, at least my daughter-in-law doesn’t have to suffer so much, thank God,”
Lu Guanhai said. He had recently beco inexplicably nervous watching TV series scenes about childbirth, both looking forward to and worrying about Su Jin and his future grandchildren, but now he wouldn’t have to worry so much.
Even so, after hearing this, Lu Hao still felt deeply pained and wished he could undergo the surgery for Su Jin.
“There are still two months left, everyone doesn’t need to be too nervous,”
Su Jin said with a smile, considering she was the one involved, she wasn’t even nervous.
“By the way, has Kou Ning been causing trouble at the store lately?”
Su Jin hadn’t gone to the branch recently and had been staying in the space to keep Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo company, occasionally using her Special Ability to do so farming.
“He hasn’t been causing trouble; that kid actually knows the rules quite well,”
Lin Tianzhen said.
“It’s good he knows the rules. Since he’s been around, we’ve been selling a lot of braised at, even the dishes I cook have been sold to him, hahaha,”
Lin Yunguo felt that Kou Ning was just there to help them consu the livestock in the space. The guy’s stomach seed to never be full, eating a lot every day, but Su Jin had told them not to sell cooked dishes to him frequently, so they only did it occasionally.
Kou Ning appeared in Base S just when Zhang Mingxu and Duan Hongyuan were taking several healers back to City B, so currently not many people knew he was here.
He thus fell into a temporary quietude, only going out at night to kill zombies alone, coming back early in the morning to sleep, waking up, and always carrying a bowl of at to the Heart Talk Branch to warm up and eat. After eating, he’d continue to sleep there until evening.
Mao Zhihang saw this and even gave him a folding lounge chair, so he didn’t have to occupy a table and sleep with his face full of wrinkles.
Sotis Lin Tianzhen and Mao Zhihang would occasionally bring him a portion of the cured at or other ats Lin Yunguo had cooked, all of which made Kou Ning feel like settling down here.
Seeing Kou Ning so peaceably keeping to himself, Liang Jiuhui repeatedly extended olive branches to him, but they were all declined.
“I will not follow any person or organization again; I just want to live peacefully in your base,”
Kou Ning’s reply almost made Liang Jiuhui and Ye Rongxin spit blood. A person not even 20 thinking about retiring? Did he experience so profound disenchantnt to reach such a realization?
“That’s really too bad,”
Su Jin couldn’t help laughing when she received the call of Liang Jiuhui complaining to her.
Retiring?
Looking at the life Kou Ning was living now, it indeed quite resembled retirent.
In just over a week, the staff at the base entrance had all co to recognize Kou Ning, as he appeared at the base entrance every day with dawn’s light, carrying a black travel bag.
He had no companions, no team, not even a vehicle.
Lin Tianzhen had also grown accustod to the stinky and dirty Crystal Cores that appeared at their back door every day. He would shake his head, wash the Crystal Cores clean, count them, and then exchange them for the supplies Kou Ning wanted—mostly at. And Lin Tianzhen always made sure to clearly present the accounts to Kou Ning.
“I don’t need to see it, just get what I want at your prices,”
Kou Ning said without worry.
“Okay, you currently have over twenty thousand Crystal Cores stored in our shop, and I’ve noted them all down,”
Lin Tianzhen still ntioned the result of the tally. Kou Ning’s daily haul of Crystal Cores was more than he could use, and over the past week, the shop had accumulated that many.
No wonder he didn’t want to join any team; one man was entirely able to sustain himself.
…
Conversely, the Han Family in B City had gone through a lot of trouble to find Kou Ning. Han Yue had waited at the F City base for about five days without seeing Kou Ning return, and that’s when he started to panic.
Given Kou Ning’s appetite, he couldn’t last more than two days outside, but so many days had passed without a single sighting of him. When the remaining three returned to the B City base, they found that Kou Ning still hadn’t returned.
That’s when the Han family mbers realized that Kou Ning might have really run away from ho.
“The ingrate, we raised him for so long and this is how he repays us?!”
Upon learning of this, Han Zhimin burst into a great rage. According to their next plan, Kou Ning was supposed to handle the Heart Talk Team and bring back Su Jin to address their current shortage of supplies, but he had run away!
“It was my oversight,”
Han Yue admitted his mistake, finding it hard to believe there was anywhere that could accommodate soone like Kou Ning.
“Kou Ning is actually a very clever man; he must have discovered so opportunity and fled for that reason; otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so easily,”
Han Zhimin, who had spent the most ti with Kou Ning and understood him well, reasoned.
He had always satisfied all of Kou Ning’s demands and was happy to nurture his arrogant and capricious nature. He even felt pleased when he saw him kill, thinking that he would beco increasingly dependent on this place.
Could it be… everything before was an act?
Han Yue was stunned. An opportunity?
“If it’s about an opportunity, maybe there really was one,”
Han Yue said, recalling the gleam in Kou Ning’s eyes when that batch of at appeared; could it be that they had taken Kou Ning away?
“Are you suggesting Dragon Ruler?”
“Yes, I suspect it was them who took Kou Ning away, or that Kou Ning went with them,”
Han Yue increasingly believed this to be true, but no trace of Dragon Ruler could be found, and no one knew in which direction they had gone. Thus the matter had completely reached an impasse…
In Han Zhimin’s treatnt room, a pale-faced woman leaned weakly to one side; Luo Shilian saw Gu Feng like this when she entered. Gu Feng’s eyes were only slightly open, after having healed Han Zhimin for two hours straight.
