Raising Monster Cubs in the Apocalypse

Jiang Shuyin gained superpowers in advance, and her monthly period turned into eggs waiting to be hatched.

The candidates for hatching the eggs were not human at all!

So when everyone e...

Chapter 21 Partners

Not receiving an answer for a long time, Jiang Shuyin asked again, "How did you get here?"

Xie Yin bluntly stated: "It's for driving practice."

This body has a driver's license; he only needs to practice a few times to learn.

Jiang Shu assumed he hadn't driven in a long time, nodded, and the car returned to silence.

The atmosphere seemed off. After thinking for a moment, she quietly asked, "Do you know where I live?"

Xie Yin knew, of course, that even from the dark expanse of space, he could pinpoint the coordinates precisely.

There was a moment of silence in the car, then Jiang Shuyin quickly gave her apartment number: "Building 4, Room 302, Garden Community. Just drop me off downstairs."

Xie Yin: "Okay."

Jiang Shuyin looked at him. His slightly exposed profile had smooth lines, high eyebrows, and deep eyes. The veins on his arm gripping the steering wheel were slightly bulging, which undoubtedly showed that it was a pair of strong and solid hands.

An indescribable image flashed through her mind, and Jiang Shu blushed as she leaned back.

When they arrived at the Garden Community, Jiang Shuyin did all the talking, while Xie Yin rarely responded. If it weren't for him taking the initiative to stop his car and drive her back, Jiang Shuyin would have suspected that he had no interest in her at all.

As she got out of the car, she opened the door and asked him, "May I ask where you work?"

Xie Yin lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment: "Receiving a call-up to the search team most likely means working in the superhumans department."

Jiang Shu was overjoyed. That's wonderful! So was she.

"Do you have superpowers?"

Xie Yin nodded under her gaze: "Yes, you're happy?"

Jiang Shu smiled, opened the car door, got out, and waved from the window: "Goodbye."

They're all working in the same place, and there are still many opportunities. She doesn't take the initiative to add people's contact information for now. From childhood to adulthood, she has always secretly liked someone until her mindset changed and she lost interest in that person. Then she would fall in love with someone else. But as long as she doesn't take the initiative, the other person will never know about it.

Xie Yin watched her through the car window. Jiang Shu introduced him to the fact that he didn't move for a long time. He smiled and waved as he walked into the residential area. The car only drove away quickly after his figure disappeared from sight.

Hearing the sharp sound of tires screeching, the security guard picked up his walkie-talkie and went outside: "Who's drifting here? They're never doing their job."

After Xie Yin left, he remembered what Jiang Shuyin had mentioned earlier. He planned to report to the Department of Superpowered Individuals first, and after demonstrating his superpowers, his superiors decided to transfer him to the Special Investigation Team.

"Your ability is quite special; can you decompose metals like iron?" the middle-aged cadre asked.

Xie Yin raised his hand and instantly disintegrated the arm strength bar used for testing into iron filings, earning a bunch of surprised and admiring glances.

The middle-aged cadre nodded: "Tomorrow you and your partner will go to complete the B-level mission. I look forward to your performance."

Xie Yin raised an eyebrow: "B-level? Who's my partner?"

The younger woman next to the middle-aged cadre explained to him: "From now on, my name will be your commander, Li Li. There are four levels of missions: A, B, C, and D. Level A is the highest level, which requires people with outstanding superpowers and physical abilities to handle. Level B missions can only be taken by people with superpowers, so your teammates will also be people with superpowers. Level C missions can be taken by people with outstanding physical abilities. As for Level D missions, they are missions for ordinary people."

Xie Yin didn't care about any of that: "Who is my partner?"

Li Li clicked the mouse to search, and then told him: "Chen Shengnan, a speed-type female superhuman."

Xie Yin closed his eyes briefly: "Change to another one."

The middle-aged cadre opened his thermos and took a sip of hot tea, his eyes fixed on him. Seeing this usually composed and sharp man reveal a childlike side, he finally smiled: "What kind of person do you want? But please, don't discriminate against women."

Xie Yin: "Jiang Shuyin, the mother of my child."

Having worked in the system for so many years, Li Li had long since learned the adage of her predecessors to keep their emotions hidden, but today she broke through that defense.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed, finding Jiang Shuyin's profile. It clearly stated that she was unmarried and childless, implying she was the future mother of her child. Her determination to win her over was evident.

The middle-aged cadre also looked at the screen: "Strength-type ability users, not bad. Then I'll assign you a group. You'll set off for Hangzhou tomorrow to carry out a B-level mission."

Xie Yin happened to be there, so he accepted the task letter and said he would just drive to her apartment complex to pick her up tomorrow.

Li Li took out something that looked like a bracelet: "This is your mission feedback device. You can take photos to submit and receive missions. After completing a B-level mission, you can choose to continue receiving missions. Mission rewards are linked to salary and benefits. The Superpowered Tribe is organized by the government and now has branches in every prefecture-level city. The mission points you earn can be used nationwide and are worth more than ordinary currency. The government will not let down anyone who contributes to society. Keep it up!"

"Okay." Xie Yin was indifferent to these words and stretched out his hand: "Give me Jiang Shuyin's too, I'll drive to pick her up and take her to Hangzhou."

Li Li looked at the middle-aged cadre with a pleading expression.

"Give it to him."

——————————

Jiang Shu returned home and drank a bottle of iced cola. That night, she had a stomachache and lay in bed groaning in pain. She only felt a little relief by pressing a pillow against her stomach.

As night deepened, she couldn't help but fall asleep. The pain in her stomach gradually subsided, and she seemed to smell a faint fishy odor.

baby...

As the first rays of sunlight streamed in, Jiang Shuyin, whose fair skin was particularly sensitive to light, rolled into the bed. There was something behind her, and when she reached back, she pulled out an egg.

"So it turns out I was having premenstrual symptoms last night."

This egg is different from the baby; its shell is red, like volcanic lava, with black plum blossom spots: "Your name will be Black Plum from now on."

Today was her first day of work, and Jiang Shuyin left home at 7:30. As she approached the entrance of her residential compound, she saw a familiar car, and the security guard was arguing with her.

"Young man, I told you to move your car! It looks bad blocking the entrance. Just move it to the side, that's all. People move and they live, trees move and they die. Just move it a little! Why are you so stubborn? I'm telling you, if you keep doing this I'll call the police!"

Jiang Shuyin stared blankly at the scene, then walked over and bent down: "Xie Yin? What are you doing here?"

He probably only knows himself in this neighborhood, right?

Is it a date?

But I have to go to work today.

Xie Yin removed the water bottle from the passenger seat: "Get in, let's go to work together."

Jiang Shu looked at the security guard with embarrassment, got into the car, closed the door, and fastened her seatbelt, her face burning.

This is the passenger seat, right? In a man's private car, only his partner can sit in the passenger seat.

She couldn't think about it anymore; her current crush was Xie Yin.

Before the security guard could say anything more, the car started up with a roar and sped away from the scene. Jiang Shu felt the legendary push-back sensation, her back pressed tightly against the seat. Realizing that this was not the way to work, she quickly called for a stop: "You've taken the wrong road, this is the highway."
