Su Wan didn't bother to pay attention to this farce. She just hoped to pass the inspection as soon as possible and find a comfortable place to rest. She closed her eyes tiredly, but felt a sight.
When she opened her eyes, she met the gaze of the officer called Pan Yong. He was looking thoughtfully at their vehicle, especially at her and Lu Shiyan sitting in the back seat. Then, Pan Yong frowned slightly and turned away.
"It seems we have attracted someone's attention." Xiao Han whispered.
Finally, it was their turn to be examined.
Several staff members in uniform surrounded their SUV, knocking here, looking there, checking it very carefully, and even holding a peculiarly shaped instrument to scan everyone in the car.
"Registration form, fill it out." A female staff member came over with a stack of forms and a pen in her hand.
The form was handed in through the car window and Xiao Han reached out to take it.
The above is nothing more than basic information such as name, age, and gender, but the columns at the bottom are marked with bold black font, which is particularly eye-catching: Is it a superpower? What is the type of superpower?
Xiao Han turned around and looked at Lu Shiyan and Su Wan in the back seat with an inquiring look.
Lu Shiyan nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that he should do as they had previously agreed.
Xiao Han no longer hesitated, picked up the pen, and the tip of the pen made a rustling sound on the paper.
He filled in his own name: Wind-related abilities.
In Amer's column, he wrote: Power variation.
Lu Shiyan: Fire-related abilities.
When it was Su Wan’s turn, she just filled in: None.
Su Wan's spatial ability is their biggest life-saving trump card. At times like this, it is always a good idea to keep one in reserve and never reveal it easily.
"Here, it's filled out, beautiful." Xiao Han handed the form back to the female staff member with his signature rogue smile on his face.
The female staff member took the form and glanced quickly from top to bottom as usual.
When her eyes fell on the "type of superpowers" column, there were wind type, strength mutation, fire type...
"Three people with special powers?!" She tightened her fingers holding the form slightly, raised her head, and looked at the people in the car again.
His eyes passed from Ah Mo who was driving, to Xiao Han who was sitting in the passenger seat, and finally to the stern-looking Lu Shiyan and the seemingly harmless Su Wan in the back seat.
The man in the back seat had a stern temperament and well-defined facial features. Even in the dimly lit car, it was difficult to conceal his outstanding appearance and compelling aura.
The female staff member's heart moved slightly, and her gaze involuntarily stayed on the spot for two more seconds.
One car, four people, and three of them are fucking superpowers!
This ratio is absolutely rare among the vehicles in the queue.
The indifference on her face faded a little, and a bit of scrutiny appeared.
Seeing this, Xiao Han leaned lazily against the back of his chair with a playful smile on his lips.
He winked at the staff: "Why, beautiful lady, you don't believe it? Do you want me to show you how to blow dry?"
The female staff member ignored his teasing and said, "Please get off the bus and cooperate with the follow-up inspection."
Several people got off the car as instructed.
"Let's have a physical examination first." The female staff member led them into a small examination room.
The examination process was surprisingly detailed, and they were asked to provide blood samples and undergo full-body scans. When the staff learned that Su Wan was pregnant, their attitude immediately became more cautious.
Lu Shiyan's brows tightened instantly, and he took a step forward with his long legs, ready to catch up with Su Wan.
"Sir, please stay." The doctor stretched out his arm and stopped him in a standard manner. There was no emotion in his eyes behind his glasses. "For special examinations for pregnant women, family members are not allowed to accompany. This is the rule of the base."
The air pressure around Lu Shiyan suddenly dropped, and his dark eyes stared coldly at the doctor, with a look that seemed to freeze the person through.
The doctor's back broke out in a cold sweat after being looked at by him, but he still maintained a professional expression and repeated, "Please cooperate, we are also for the safety of the pregnant woman and the fetus."
Xiao Han couldn't stand it anymore and said casually, "Doctor, isn't it normal for a couple to worry about their wife and children? Just be flexible. It's not something shameful."
The doctor pushed up his glasses, his eyes swept across Xiao Han's face, and finally fell back on Lu Shiyan, "The rules are the rules. Please trust our professionalism, and we will not cause any harm to pregnant women."
Su Wan gently pulled Lu Shiyan's sleeve and shook her head at him soothingly.
"I'm fine, I'll be out soon."
Lu Shiyan looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with emotions that others could not understand, and finally he loosened his clenched fists.
Seeing this, the doctor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly turned sideways, and led Su Wan into the evaluation room.
With a bang, the door closed.
The light in the assessment room was somewhat dazzling. Various cold medical instruments emitted a faint metallic luster, and the air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.
An expressionless female nurse was adjusting the equipment. Her movements were skillful, but she exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance.
"Lie down." The doctor pointed to the examination bed covered with a white disposable sheet in the middle of the room.
Su Wan lay down as she was told and could clearly feel the bed board beneath her was a bit uncomfortable.
The cold instrument probe was pressed against her abdomen without gentleness, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
The doctor skillfully operated the instrument while asking questions as if they were routine: "When was your last menstrual period? How long have you been pregnant? Have you experienced vomiting, fever, or other abnormal symptoms during this period?"
Su Wan answered one by one, no emotion could be heard in her voice, but her hands at her sides were quietly clenched.
She could feel that the little guy in her belly seemed to have sensed her mother's nervousness and moved slightly, more clearly than ever before, causing her to frown involuntarily.
The doctor stared at the data and curves that kept jumping on the screen, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
The female nurse was recording something quickly, and she looked up from time to time, looking at Su Wan with a probing and scrutinizing look.
"Strange..." The doctor suddenly murmured in a low voice, his tone full of confusion, "The fetus's vital signs... are very healthy. You could even say that they are too active."
He suddenly raised his head and shot a sharp gaze at Su Wan. Some of the fetal physiological indicators on the screen that were far beyond the normal range made him alert. This was not just "active", but more like an... accelerated, unusual life process, which formed a certain contradiction with the mother's "no superpowers" status on the registration form.
He asked in a deep voice: "During your pregnancy, did you come into contact with any known mutation-inducing agents, such as high-concentration radiation areas? Or did you take strengthening drugs of unknown composition? Or, did you awaken some... special abilities or physical mutations that may affect your offspring, but you did not report it?"
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm. He even twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "Doctor, this is the end of the world. Every day, everything that happens is very special, and everything you encounter is also very 'special'. Which one do you mean?"
Su Wan's answer failed to dispel the doctor's doubts, but made him more alert. He stared at her, then glanced at the abnormal data on the screen. After a few seconds, "Your explanation cannot rule out all risks. Some of the fetus's vital signs have exceeded the warning threshold of our security database. This is a condition that requires in-depth genetic screening according to the base's records."
"In order to be responsible for the safety of you, the fetus, and the entire base, and to rule out potential unknown mutations that may be high-risk, we need to extract amniotic fluid samples for emergency gene sequence analysis. This is a mandatory regulation of the base, please cooperate."
Extracting amniotic fluid?!
