After discussing that matter, the women started talking about more serious things.

child.

There are quite a few people who have gotten married in the capital, and the Civil Affairs Bureau has been established. In just over six months, dozens of couples have registered their marriages.

Those who got married before moving to the capital also obtained a marriage certificate later. Chi Xia, Chunli, and Zhang Xin also obtained one.

However, for all this time, not a single couple has announced that they are pregnant.

This problem can be big or small.

At first, Chi Xia didn't pay much attention, since there are quite a few couples who don't use contraception after marriage and don't get pregnant for one or two years.

But as time went on, Chi Xia gradually realized that something was wrong.

She sent people to visit these couples under the guise of family planning, only to discover that although some couples were deliberately using contraception because of the apocalypse, the vast majority of couples were not using contraception.

In other words, the apocalypse has arrived, and humans have mutated. Whether they have superpowers or not, they have all encountered problems with reproduction, making human propagation difficult.

Of course, the capital city only has a few thousand people now, and there aren't many couples, so these figures aren't accurate, but they certainly serve as a wake-up call for everyone.

In the capital city, the two newly established hospitals have made family planning a priority. Anyone showing signs of pregnancy or suspected of being pregnant is given special attention. However, more than half a year has passed, and not a single child has been born.

Zhang Xin sighed: "Although I am past the best age for childbearing, I still want to have a child of my own."

“You’re not the only one who doesn’t have any,” Chi Xia advised. “None of us have any. What I’m afraid of now is that there won’t be any more humans. If even one pregnant woman appears, it would put my doubts at ease.”

The topic was too heavy, and the four of them let out a long sigh.

"Don't think about it." Chi Xia changed the subject: "Maybe it will happen naturally after the apocalypse ends. Speaking of which, I heard Han Junche say yesterday that he is going to send a group of people out to start replicating the capital's operating model. The first place they will go is City A."

There is only one base in City A, which is the Martial Arts League established by Chun-Li's father.

Chi Xia looked at Chunli and said, "Do you want to go see Mr. Ran? You didn't inform him about your marriage to Da Niu."

Chunli was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I'm fine now. Although Geng Lang is a scumbag, he is still very respectful and filial to my father. Let's handle this business as it is, don't worry about me."

Chi Xia nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way. I'll have Han Junche explain our situation to the people we send out. Whether they agree or not is up to them."

That's what they say, but Chi Xia knows that most of the people in the Martial Arts Alliance would probably agree.

As the signal coverage increased, the Martial Arts Alliance members gained some understanding of this area. Moreover, a year and a half had passed since the apocalypse, and resources were dwindling. If they didn't join, the Martial Arts Alliance would be left depleted on its own.

Moreover, who would willingly choose a life of constant displacement if they could return to normalcy?

While the women were chatting, the men outside were drinking heavily. Liu Daniu, who had the lowest alcohol tolerance, was almost drunk.

Han Junche and Qin Zhao, both with high superpowers and high alcohol tolerance, drank a case of baijiu and had no reaction for half a day. It was unclear whether they were forcing themselves to drink or if drinking baijiu was really like drinking beer to them, with no effect other than bloating.

The food on the table was almost gone, and a group of men were playing drinking games outside. When Chi Xia and the others couldn't stay awake any longer and ran out to check, they found that everyone was passed out.
