Su Mo’s gaze tensed, but thinking of her child, she ultimately didn’t say anything.
"Inject it."
Lu Chen quietly clenched Su Mo’s hand, watching as the red dicine in the syringe was slowly pushed in.
Through the transparent tube, the chilly dicine was slowly injected.
Lu Ruixue felt sowhat uncomfortable and curled her toes up, frowning and saying, "So cold."
It took five minutes for this thing to be completely injected.
Su Mo anxiously stood by her side, constantly monitoring the child’s every move.
Five minutes passed, and the girl still lay there quietly with her eyes open, showing no change.
The researcher was checking her vital data.
Ten minutes went by, and there was still no sign of movent from her.
Besides the initial coldness, Lu Ruixue felt no discomfort, and just when Su Mo thought it might be successful, the researcher ca over, shaking his head.
"It’s no use, the virus in her body was ultimately bred from the primal virus; these substances were absorbed as soon as they entered her body, even making them divide faster."
Su Mo bit her lip, "That ans, you have no way to slow down her growth rate, right?"
"As I said, the child’s growth has its unique traits; at certain points, she will halt growing on her own to evolve her power."
The team that Lu Jin possessed was already among the top in the nation. If they said it was impossible, then there truly was no way.
Su Mo quietly picked up the child and dressed her, "I understand."
She caressed the face, "Then I’ll try my best to let her live carefree before she grows up."
Lu Chen put his arm around her shoulder, comforting her, "Think positively, maybe she’ll stop growing before she turns eighteen."
Su Mo of course hoped for the sa; the two of them left with the child, while Lu Jin stayed in the lab looking at those reports, his eyes dim.
If she beca an adult soon, would she still be close to him?
Outside, the artificial sunlight had already switched to evening, and Su Mo took Lu Ruixue back for a good night’s sleep.
The next morning, she took the child directly to the farm below.
Many ordinary people had already been arranged to work here by Luo Cong.
Su Mo took the child to play with the sheep and ride the cows.
Li Qian and Zhao Changsheng, along with Jianxiong as a couple, finally deigned to show up.
Su Mo found a patch of grass, and several people gathered to sit on it and made it a picnic.
Lu Ruixue and Jiang Zhuoyang got along quite well, chasing after the sheep together.
Su Mo bit into a piece of bread, "So, that’s roughly what happened."
Everyone looked at Lu Ruixue with more pity and distress in their eyes.
But after accepting the whole truth, Su Mo actually ca to terms with it, "No matter when she stops growing, I will love her dearly."
In her life, she would only have this one child.
Jianxiong lay back on the grass, looking up at the sunlight above, "Days like these aren’t bad, even though we are underground, it’s stable."
Su Mo felt the sa way.
In the days that followed, other than frequently taking Lu Ruixue for checkups, Lu Chen did his best to teach her so basic survival combat skills, with Ling Ye and the others also occasionally coming to learn.
A large part of the grass in the farm was reserved by them.
Ti passed, and another five months went by.
Su Mo occasionally still researched recipes that might allow limbs to regrow, but disappointingly, there were none.
Rong Bai’s legs, with the help of researchers, had recently been fitted with chanical prostheses, so at least he could use a remote control to stand up and walk.
Lu Ruixue was nearly five years old now, growing ever more beautiful, and had perfectly inherited Su Mo’s lovely features and Lu Chen’s blue eyes.
Those deep blue pupils shone like gems.
Compared to the small-sized Jiang Zhuoyang, Lu Ruixue was indescribably taller.
She still loved to seek out Lu Jin, enjoyed sitting on his lap and playing with his hand, and then rushed back to embrace Lu Chen when alti ca, never tiring of this routine every day.
"Is this Ice Age that the expert ntioned ever going to co?" Jianxiong sat on the grass gnawing on a sandwich made by the cake master.
Going camping every few days had beco their routine.
Su Mo, watching Lu Jin lead the cow with Lu Ruixue riding on it, withdrew her gaze and said, "It’s already the second year, it should be soon."
Since they no longer had to go out on missions, everyone had too much idle ti on their hands, and the wheat and crops in the fields were growing well. Everyone’s food supply had improved a lot, and each had gained quite a bit of weight.
The cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks kept in the pens were also growing wildly, and many offspring had been produced.
The entire ecological farm was full of life.
As people chatted idly on the grass, the ground in the bunker suddenly shook.
Lu Ruixue, who had been comfortably riding on the cow’s back, fell as the frightened animal shuddered, but Lu Jin accurately caught her in his arms.
Lu Ruixue stared straight at his face, which had grown a bit of stubble, and suddenly stretched out her small hand to pinch it, "Jinjin, you have a handso face, too."
Lu Jin helplessly swatted away her hand. Since the child had grown familiar with him, his temper had almost worn away. Even the scary whips, once discovered by Lu Ruixue again, had all been burnt completely.
He did not want to leave a ferocious image in her eyes.
"You should call uncle."
The girl instantly refused without a second thought, "Jinjin!"
Lu Jin put her down on the ground and drove the cow back, leading her towards Su Mo.
The bunker began to shake again.
This ti, Su Mo felt that sothing was wrong, and they hastily stood up.
The electronic sunshine above flickered for so reason, and then the whole farm plunged into darkness.
"A disaster?"
Su Mo could only think of this possibility.
In a hurried flurry, they packed everything up and rushed upstairs by the light of the ergency lamps that had co on.
They went straight to the level below.
That’s when they realized what had happened.
Their top layer, directly exposed to the snowstorm’s door, had been blown open, and now the second door was enduring the onslaught of the disaster outside. Many Earth Elent and Gold Elent superpower users had run over to reinforce it.
Everyone could imagine how terrifying it would be if the disaster outside breached the door.
The only device that allowed them to see the outside world, similar to a periscope, had been blown away by the violent wind.
Su Mo only managed to catch a glimpse of the massive hailstones, too large even for several hands to encircle, falling like rain in a frenzied density, mixed with a heavy flurry of snowflakes.
This was even more terrifying than the last storm they had experienced.
She felt it was no different from countless small teorites hitting the Earth.
Every house standing above had been almost completely destroyed.
