He pressed his temples and began to frantically search for a solution in the system. What he could afford in the mall could not be saved, and what he could save could not be bought.
Moreover, he was simply not capable of operating such professional and sophisticated instruments and medicines.
He couldn't help but call out the system.
"System, do you have any other ideas?"
“Yes, but I can’t do it now.”
"How can we do that?" Meng Yuqing asked anxiously.
"After receiving the upgrade reward."
Level-up rewards... Meng Yuqing frowned.
The system previously stated that other projects would have to reach the second-level standard after successfully entering winter, but after this period of development, the time can now be advanced.
But the most important point is that there are not enough people. Even if all other projects have reached the second-level standard, the number of people is still not enough and it cannot be upgraded to the second level, even if Bo and others are all counted in.
Just as he was worried, the system said, "The people in the host's world are different from those in your original world. At least at this stage, the cub in the belly and the mother are one and cannot be separated. If the cub dies, the mother will die too. This was the choice made by the world when it evolved."
The system rarely revealed some secrets that could not be revealed now, and then it immediately fell silent without saying anything more.
However, Meng Yuqing, who was now full of anxiety, did not pay any attention to the meaning of the system's words.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the house. Meng Yuqing came back to his senses and listened carefully. It was the sound made by the orc in his beast form deliberately to remind others that he was coming.
The footsteps stopped not far from the door, and then Bo's voice came in.
"I'm Bo, I want to see them." His voice was filled with anxiety and worry.
Meng Yuqing was a little surprised that Bo actually came in. He turned to look at Qiu Ye and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Qiu Ye nodded, and Meng Yuqing walked out.
Outside the door, Bo had turned into a human form and was circling anxiously, but he never got close to the door. Lie and Ya followed him, paying attention to his every move. Xia agreed to let Bo in, but sent the two of them to follow him.
Seeing Meng Yuqing coming out, they all looked at Meng Yuqing.
"Is A Su okay?" Bo asked anxiously.
"He's in a very bad mood. He wants to let the cub die in his stomach. Now everyone is trying to persuade him, but it's not working." Meng Yuqing pinched the bridge of his nose in distress.
He knew what A Su was thinking and how to solve the problem, but looking at Bo and the few remaining people in their tribe, he couldn't bring himself to persuade them.
Although he had not experienced what happened to their tribe, he could imagine how angry, desperate and helpless they were at that time.
Don’t advise others to do good unless you have experienced their suffering.
The roaming orcs' actions against the Qingshan tribe were unsuccessful, which made the people of the Qingshan tribe hate them to the core, not to mention that the tribe was completely destroyed and most of the people died.
Bo looked at Meng Yuqing. He knew that it was Meng Yuqing's words last time that made A Su and the others willing to eat and survive. But this time even he showed such an embarrassed expression. Bo was a little sad. He really didn't want to lose any more tribesmen.
He forced himself to cheer up and looked at Meng Yuqing with a glimmer of hope.
"You have no other options?"
Seeing him like this, Meng Yuqing opened her mouth and hesitated to speak, staring at Bo with complicated eyes.
Seeing him like this, Bo continued cautiously, "Is the problem with us?"
Under Bo's gaze, Meng Yuqing nodded slightly.
"Then can you tell me what A Su is thinking?"
"Have the people in your tribe ever thought about what to do when this little beast is born?" Meng Yuqing looked at Bo and asked.
"What should we do? We won't let the baby starve to death after it is born. We can't do such a thing to a cub." Bo answered naturally.
Meng Yuqing rubbed his forehead. "It's not a question of whether he'll starve to death or not. It's about how you think of him."
Hearing this, Bo Weiwei opened his eyes slightly, seeming a little puzzled, then turned his gaze to the room behind. He slowly frowned, his eyes indescribably complicated. He understood what Meng Yuqing meant, and also knew where the problem lay.
Ya and Lie also looked at Bo, their brows furrowed, and the scene became quiet for a moment.
After a long while, Bo sighed deeply. He squatted down, covered his head with his hands, and said in a painful voice, "I don't know. We can't kill the children of our own people, but there are many other things we can't do either."
His tribe, his people, and his relatives had all been harmed by the roaming orcs, and he couldn't ignore it all.
Meng Yuqing didn't say anything else. He didn't want to influence Bo's thoughts.
After an unknown amount of time, Bo composed himself and stood up.
He looked towards the door and said loudly, "A Su, I know what you are worried about."
He paused and continued, "Just give birth to him with peace of mind, and don't overthink it... We... will just treat him as an ordinary orc cub in the tribe whose father has died. He is your child, just your child, yours alone... I will bring food over tomorrow, and I will take care of the others, so just relax..."
Bo said this, but Meng Yuqing, who was standing in front of him, saw his expressionless face.
After saying that, he sat down on the ground dejectedly, looking at the sky in a daze.
"You're saying this to him." Meng Yuqing squatted down and looked at Bo seriously.
Hearing his words, Bo smiled bitterly, "What can we do? There are only a few of us left."
He looked at Meng Yuqing and said, "Just let A Su live now. We can talk about the future later. A Su's life is more important. It's not worth giving it to this cub and the wandering orcs."
Bo was just trying to comfort A Su. He couldn't really accept this cub, but his purpose was clear: to let A Su survive.
He doesn't care whether the cub will be recognized and blessed after it is born or whether it lives a good life, as long as he doesn't starve to death.
Compared to this child whom he had never met and who had half the blood of the wandering orcs, he only cared about whether his own people could survive.
"I understand." Meng Yuqing nodded, then he stood up and walked into the house.
They couldn't kill the newborn cubs, but the cub's father was a wandering orc who was killed by them. If the cub was born, it would be best not to let the cub know about this forever, or it must be guided and educated from a young age.
Meng Yuqing lowered his eyes in thought. Ideological education must be put on the agenda, not just for this cub.
As the tribe develops, more and more people will join, and a large number of them will come from other tribes.
We must focus on education and strengthen everyone's sense of identity with the Qingshan Tribe, otherwise it will be easy for everyone to have different ideas and things will go wrong.
