At this moment, Ye Jinyan was grabbed by a man. He knelt down and cried, "Doctor, I beg you, please perform a C-section on my wife. The baby in her womb is not dead; there is still hope."
Ye Jinyan said wearily, "Your wife is dead, she's already developed lividity. Have you ever seen a fetus survive for so long inside a corpse? Let go."
But the man clung tightly to Ye Jinyan's clothes, refusing to let go: "Doctor, he's really alive! My wife's belly moves every now and then, isn't that him?"
Ye Jinyan had been saving people ever since he arrived. The man knelt down and begged, saying that his wife's baby was about to come out and he needed to save her.
He thought it was a pregnant woman about to give birth, but when he rushed over, he found a cold, lifeless corpse.
Yes, there was indeed a fetus in the womb, but the pregnant woman's body had already developed livor mortis, yet he claimed the fetus was still alive!
The man held onto Ye Jinyan tightly: "Doctor, just touch her, just touch her stomach, and you'll know why I said he's still alive."
Ye Jinyan closed his eyes. He wanted to push the man away, but the man's kneeling and pleading made it impossible for Ye Jinyan to do so. He had no choice but to walk to the corpse, lift the clothes on his stomach, and reveal his somewhat shrunken belly.
He could even see the shape of the fetus. After looking closely, he found that the fetus in his belly had indeed moved, and it was the head that moved.
The man said excitedly, "See, I didn't lie to you, it really is moving. It started moving after my wife passed away, but we didn't dare to do anything. We haven't studied medicine and we didn't dare to operate."
Ye Jinyan's expression turned serious. He was certain that the fetus was dead; movement did not mean it was still alive, and it was very likely that it had mutated.
He stared at the fetus and said in a deep voice, "This fetus is strange; it's very likely mutated. It's a pity I don't have my scalpel here, otherwise I could open it up right now to see what it is."
"What? Mutation?"
The man was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. He had been wondering if his son had awakened some kind of superpower and was still alive in his womb.
But he never imagined that it would mutate.
Ye Jinyan ignored him, turned around and went out to find his second brother. He was a psychiatrist, so having him check on the fetus was much more convenient than an ultrasound.
Ye Boxuan and Wei Chi tried to clear out wave after wave of the strange spiders and rats in the neighborhood, but they couldn't get rid of them all because there were just too many.
Ye Jinyan called out to Ye Boxuan downstairs, "Second brother, come up here for a moment. Quickly."
Ye Boxuan quickly came over to him: "What's wrong?"
"Come with me."
Upon arriving at the body, Ye Jinyan discovered that the man had already fled. He ignored him and instead said to Ye Boxuan, "Take a look at what's inside the stomach and why it's moving."
Upon hearing that the fetus inside the corpse was still moving, Ye Boxuan immediately used his spiritual power to check. When he saw that the fetus inside had actually opened its eyes and was looking at him, Ye Boxuan couldn't help but take another step.
No exaggeration, that one glance we made almost made my soul leave home.
Ye Jinyan didn't miss his reaction, his tone grave: "A ghost child?"
Ye Boxuan composed himself and said to him, "Perhaps it's more troublesome than the ghost fetus. Let's kill it."
He didn't even want to spend time understanding why the fetus mutated; there were just too many bizarre creatures around these days, and they didn't have time to learn about these things.
Without saying a word, Ye Jinyan started to back away. Since his second brother had said so, he had nothing to hesitate about. Killing him was the best solution.
A sharp blade appeared out of nowhere on his stomach and slashed down.
A piercing scream echoed from the neighborhood, and the survivors who heard it were all knocked unconscious.
Wen Yanchen appeared quickly beside them: "What's going on?"
Upon seeing the ripped-open abdomen and the black, lifeless fetus inside, he frowned: "It mutated? The sound was made by it?"
Ye Boxuan withdrew his mental barrier and said to him, "It's similar to a ghost fetus, but not quite. Look at the pregnant woman's internal organs; they've all been eaten by it."
Looking at its fingers, the nails were long and sharp. If we hadn't discovered it early, it would have torn open its belly and crawled out within two days at the latest.
Looking at the scene before him, Wen Yanchen was speechless: "This world is getting more and more surreal. All sorts of monsters and demons are appearing. Let's take the corpse down there and burn it to prevent any further accidents."
When Ye Ling and the others arrived outside the residential area, they saw thick smoke coming from inside, along with a foul odor.
Moody wrinkled his nose. "It smells like a corpse, it's awful. Hey, look, he's opened his eyes."
The baby in her arms had opened his eyes at some point. He was quietly looking at Moody, and when Moody looked at him, he gave a very cute smile.
"He smiled at me, so cute."
Ye Ling and Wen Mengxia squeezed over to look at the baby, and then they saw the baby smile at them. Wen Mengxia immediately said in a high-pitched voice, "Hello, little baby."
The baby's little fingers twitched, and then it slowly raised its hand to grasp Wen Mengxia's fingers.
"Ahhh, he's so cute! He can even grab my finger!"
Ye Ling looked at Chen Nan: "How many months old is he?"
When Chen Nan looked at the baby, she showed a look of heartache: "At five months old, his parents, including his grandparents and maternal grandparents, were all taken away by spiders while trying to protect him."
We survived entirely because of him. Originally, there were thousands of us, but due to disagreements, we eventually scattered and fled.
We originally had over a hundred people following him, but there were too many spiders, and he was too small, so he often needed to sleep. Every time he fell asleep, those elusive spiders would appear and snatch our people away.
As Chen Nan finished speaking, a look of horror appeared in her eyes.
Ye Ling could imagine what they had been through back then. She pursed her lips and asked again, "What's his name?"
Everyone calls him Lele.
Ye Ling looked at the baby: "Lele? That's good. A life that has survived a great calamity is bound to bring good fortune."
