To tell the truth, as her abdon swelled, Su Mo could miraculously feel the child inside her, connected by blood. This feeling was sothing beyond the comprehension of others.
She was going to give birth to it.
Lu Chen stared at her belly with a heavy gaze. After everyone had left, he asked the doctor again, who assured them for the third ti that the child was indeed healthy. However, why it was growing so fast was a mystery she had encountered for the first ti.
Su Mo sat up from the bed, "Worst case, I give birth early. That way, I can still be combat-ready on our way to Luohe."
She truly thought so, as carrying this child ant she couldn’t even perform basic tasks, forced to be treated like a delicate little white flower, precious and protected by everyone.
She didn’t like this special treatnt at all.
On the way back escorted by Lu Chen, she took the initiative to suggest going to the agricultural zone, and she released the cattle and sheep that had matured in the system.
The sight of the plump cattle and sheep grown on miraculous trees was an absolute visual shock for the soldiers.
When these animals were plucked from the trees and let out, they obediently stood still on the ground, and the soldiers ca directly with ropes to lead them away.
Lu Chen looked down at her, "Your new skill?"
"I told you before, from now on we could keep these animals underground, and have the engineers plan the Bunker better," she said.
Su Mo clapped her hands cheerfully.
The man indulgently nodded, "As you wish."
Recently, the temperature had been dropping lower and lower. Su Mo hadn’t seen the sun for several continuous days from her window, and many people in the refugee camp suffered from frostbite due to the lack of warm clothing.
Although the superpower users were slightly better off, the ordinary people had only tents or straw mats to shelter them. With the temperature dropping at night, there had been a spate of freeze-related deaths over several days.
To prevent more deaths from the cold, all superpower users in the base were ready to go out to gather warm clothes.
Living together, sotis those with strong abilities also felt compassion.
Having been cooped up in the base for too long, and despite her increasingly large belly, Su Mo was desperate to go out and walk around.
Thus, the night before they set out, she nagged and begged until Lu Chen agreed to take her out.
The next morning, as she walked out holding Lu Chen’s hand and cradling her belly, Zhao Changsheng and others who had received the news imdiately followed right behind.
She was now considered a national treasure; everyone encountered had to take a detour because the number of people accompanying her made it look like a royal expedition, even Feng Yao had sent two people to follow them.
The spectacle made Su Mo want to roll her eyes, but she held back any word of complaint just so she could go out.
At the base’s main gate, many people were gearing up to set out on missions.
Mu Rou was among them.
Standing with her companions, her face mostly covered, leaving only one eye visible, she expressed her surprise upon seeing Su Mo, "How long has it been? Your belly has grown so big! Are you having twins?"
Su Mo just smiled and didn’t clarify, "Are you also on a mission?"
Her companion answered hoarsely, "Yes, we’re going to find so clothes for these ordinary people."
Lu Chen helped Su Mo into the car, and one vehicle followed on each side, completely in the manner of a princess setting out.
She rolled down the car window a bit for so air, "In the first two months I not only jumped around but also rolled over, and my stomach was just fine. Can you guys stop worrying so much?"
Jianxiong and Li He were sitting in the back, both shook their heads. Hearing that Su Mo was going out today, Li He had taken the initiative to co along.
Su Mo was at a loss for words; she didn’t want to talk to them anymore and just looked forward with anticipation for Lu Chen to drive her out.
The zombies in city P had almost been cleared, and when they went out, they only occasionally saw a couple.
Lu Chen didn’t drive too far, just stopping on a street they had traveled back and forth on several tis before. The lonely street looked like a ruin, and Su Mo pushed open the door and got out of the car.
There were quite a few superpower users here, and in so nearby clothing stores, you could see the figures of superpower users coming out to find clothes.
Su Mo also recognized so familiar faces in the crowd.
Fei Yiyi and Lu Jin.
Clearly, they had encountered the sa problem on their side.
Seeing Su Mo, Fei Yiyi reflexively turned to observe Lu Jin’s expression. He stood in a shop, his dark eyes almost boring a hole through Su Mo’s belly.
He couldn’t hold back anymore and stepped out of the store to Su Mo’s side.
With a restrained and oppressive voice, he asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Su Mo was shielded behind by Lu Chen but still peeked half her head out to openly admit, "Yes."
Her not whatsoever normal belly caused Lu Jin so panic. He grabbed Lu Chen’s collar, and his pervasive aura made even Fei Yiyi step back repeatedly.
"How could you let her get pregnant!"
Lu Jin’s expression almost seed as though he was going to devour Lu Chen, but Lu Chen wasn’t one to be trifled with. He grabbed Lu Jin’s hand in return and kicked him away.
The tense atmosphere between the two made Su Mo grab Lu Chen’s arm, and she coldly told Lu Jin, "Although it was an accident, I’m happy to have this child."
Lu Jin seed unable to accept it, his expression mingling with extre fear, "Su Mo! Look at your belly! You know exactly what the condition of your body is!"
Su Mo got upset by his words, "Since I want this child, of course, I’ve made ntal preparations."
Fei Yiyi, seeing Lu Jin lose control for the first ti, fought against her discomfort and walked up to try and pull on Lu Jin’s sleeve, "Lu Jin..."
Suddenly, a gust of air expelled from the man’s body. Fei Yiyi scread as she was thrown several ters backward, crashing to the ground where a rusty steel rebar rcilessly impaled her thigh.
Seeing the situation, Su Mo frowned, "Lu Jin, control your temper a bit more, people aren’t your playthings."
As she walked past him, pulling Lu Chen by the arm, she added with so disdain, "What I hate the most is how you never treat people as humans. You shouldn’t let others suffer because of the shadows from your childhood."
Though she had been part of Lu Jin’s life, she only really felt pity for the child Lu Jin had once been.
Lu Jin stood still, his eyes sowhat bewildered. Lu Chen couldn’t bother to say another word to him but was especially vigilant of the road ahead to prevent Su Mo from stumbling.
Lu Jin stood there for a while without moving and softly murmured to Su Mo’s receding figure, "If I don’t kill people... would you look at more?"
With Su Mo’s hearing, how could she not hear the voice carried by the wind into her ears? She didn’t turn back but simply walked over to where Fei Yiyi was impaled by the steel rebar, "Save her, Li He."
