Chapter 866: The Birth is Coming
"He moves, he's moved before, they're really alive".
Su He's words made Qin Xing and Zheng Xian think that he might be crazy. They looked at him with sorrow. Lu Weiyi, who had seen too many strange things, took a curious look, while Qin Jin directly touched Mu Wan's belly.
Before Su He could stretch out his hand to stop him, Qin Jin's brows had already furrowed, which made him afraid to move.
"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Qin Jin said uncertainly, "It seems... there are indeed signs of life. Come over and take a look."
Zombies are very sensitive to the breath of life. At the beginning, he could clearly feel that this was a very low-level zombie, like the little zombies that had just awakened at the beginning of the apocalypse. This level of zombie is not very common nowadays, and he doesn’t even need to do anything against the weak ones. The pressure he exudes is enough to intimidate the opponent.
But after seeing her in person and observing her condition carefully, Qin Jin felt another different breath. It seemed to be life, but it didn't feel like a human, so he couldn't be sure what it was.
Upon hearing this, Su He immediately looked at Lu Weiyi expectantly, but unfortunately Lu Weiyi did not have his perception, and could not detect anything through the layer of belly. Even when he probed with his mental power, all he saw was the appearance of a child, and he could not be sure whether there was life or not.
"You can do an electrocardiogram. The child will have a heartbeat after three months," Lu Weiyi suggested.
"No!" Su He refused bluntly, attracting several people to look at him, "The baby is different from normal children and cannot be tested using normal methods."
Proof that he had tried it and it didn't work.
"Then why don't you let him move a little, or do a four-dimensional B-ultrasound to have a look?" After all, Lu Weiyi watched Qin Nian being born, so he was very familiar with the functions of these tests. Now he spoke of them in a very serious manner, which was quite intimidating.
But Su He just kept shaking his head, saying that children were different from normal people. He even held Mu Wan and walked away from the two of them, as if he was afraid that they would attack him.
Qin Xing and Zheng Xian, who were originally a little excited, sighed and didn't know how to comfort them.
Just then, there were two light knocks on the door.
"It's Cheng Qi." Lu Weiyi looked at Qin Jin.
Qin Jin went forward to open the door, but Cheng Qi had no intention of coming in. He just glanced in the direction of Su He, his mouth moving. Qin Jin was slightly stunned, looked at Su He again, and finally nodded.
They used the zombie communication method. Lu Weiyi didn't know what they were talking about, and Qin Jin didn't mean to hide anything. After entering, he asked, "The Cheng Chuan in your base..."
Lu Weiyi immediately understood what he meant and pointed at Mu Wan's belly, "Same as him?"
“It may be the difference between nature and nurture.”
A lot of thoughts suddenly came to Lu Weiyi's mind. The zombie energy-releasing potion currently used in the base was the result of Cheng Chuan's cooperation in the experiment. He remembered that in his previous life, when he died, there were rumors in the base that a so-called vaccine had been released. Although he had not seen it, he was not sure whether it was the same as what they were doing now.
But he believed that those people had tried their best in their research on Cheng Chuan. Even so, they still had not found a vaccine for humans to resist the energy of zombies. Could this be another breakthrough?
At this moment, Lu Weiyi's eyes brightened when he looked at Mu Wan, and Su He sensitively noticed that something was wrong. He pushed the wheelchair back two steps in the direction of Qin Xing and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
"us……"
"I will not hand Wanwan over to you for research," Su He said in a cold and decisive tone.
Qin Xing also stood up and looked over. He opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Mu Wan's condition, he knew in his heart that this kind of scarce thing was exactly what the laboratory was unwilling to give up. But thinking of the reasons that led to Mu Wan's situation, he still opened his mouth, "Lu Weiyi..."
"I promise not to harm his life."
"Oh, I just want to do some experiments on her," Su He completed the unfinished meaning coldly.
"Is this what they call good people don't get rewarded?" Zheng Xian's face also turned cold. He took a step forward and stood beside Su He, as if he was willing to stand by him through thick and thin.
Lu Weiyi pursed his lips, looked at Qin Xing who was also on guard, took a step back, and sat on the nearest warm-up device. Looking at the person who was so friendly a few hours ago but now completely standing on the opposite side, Lu Weiyi had an indescribable feeling, as if... he really became a bad guy.
"The zombie energy-releasing potion in our base was developed from a half-corpse." Lu Weiyi lowered his eyes and looked at his fair hands. After the upgrade, these hands were very resilient, and it was hard to imagine that they were also covered in blood.
From his own perspective, he was not interested in either Cheng Chuan or the child, but he was the director of a base that was at the forefront of scientific research among the current surviving humans.
From the moment he learned that Zheng Yi agreed to let Lu Xiao take away all the top scientific researchers in the Kyoto base, he knew what he would be responsible for.
They placed the fire in his hands, so he had the obligation to keep these people alive as much as possible in this turbulent world and do his best to continue the flame of human civilization.
The three of them understood what he meant. Zheng Xian and Qin Xing, both of whom must have seen a lot of injustice, now had expressions of frustration and unwillingness on their faces.
"How come...it shouldn't be her." Zheng Xian's teeth were grinding, and his words seemed to be mixed with blood.
Lu Weiyi did not answer this question. Everyone would feel unfair when being chosen, but there is no fairness in this world.
"The half-corpse was a soldier. While exploring the way for the entire besieged team, he was injured by zombies and became half-corpse. When his captain found out, he also said that it shouldn't be him."
"But after the zombie-releasing drug was developed, it saved thousands of lives."
"What does other people's lives have to do with us!" Su He said coldly.
"It may be a little inhumane, but the moment she is exposed, you have no choice at all." Lu Weiyi put the cruel facts in front of Su He.
Su He's original plan was to secretly bring people into the Yuebanwan base, contact his father, and ask him for help. Who would have thought that he couldn't hide it for a moment in front of these high-level psychics. He felt like he was pushing the people in front of him into a desperate situation.
Lu Weiyi didn't want to continue to provoke him, and said tactfully, "I will protect them as much as possible."
However, such meaningless words could not bring comfort to Su He, and he himself even felt a little disgusted.
On the one hand, Lu Weiyi is casual and protective of his shortcomings, but on the other hand, his position determines that he cannot let go of such a hope. His rationality and emotion are struggling, and looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, he also feels like a bad guy.
He himself was not used to making a decision against his own heart, so he stood up and prepared to leave, "I will try my best to keep them alive."
Just as he walked in front of Su He, a metal chain suddenly appeared in the hand of the furious Su He. It was the thing that was originally tied to Mu Wan to control his movements, but now it became Su He's weapon, and he threw it towards Lu Weiyi with all his might.
"Su He!" Qin Xing shouted, but did not move.
Zheng Xian took a step forward, but didn't make any move because he thought of nothing. Qin Jin stood aside with his arms folded and did not participate from beginning to end. He felt that he was no longer a human being, and not causing trouble was the greatest tolerance he could show.
Su He used all his strength to hit Lu Weiyi with the metal chain, making a loud snap.
"Lu Weiyi!" Qin Xing shouted in surprise. He didn't expect that he didn't hide at all.
The force that could have knocked a person flying only left a trace of rips on his clothes, while the person who hadn't been beaten didn't suffer any injury at all.
The difference in their skills was immediately apparent with this one move. Qin Xing stood between the two men and shouted, "Stop it."
"This is just our guess. We don't know what the situation is. You are arguing here..." Qin Xing looked at Su He, "You have been secretly raising someone for so long without letting anyone know, but now you are willing to take the risk and leave with her. I'm afraid you have no choice, right?"
Su He didn't say anything, but just hugged the person in his arms tighter.
"Tell me and we'll solve it together."
"Oh, tell me, will you let me be used as your weakness and controlled by others again?" Su He sneered. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring Mu Wan here. Thinking of the purpose of coming here, he looked at Qin Jin again, "Is she... really unconscious?"
"I didn't feel it, maybe it's too weak," Qin Jin said, "The fragments of low-level zombie consciousness are relatively small and may be difficult to capture."
"So it's possible for zombies to regain consciousness due to upgrades?"
"It's just a possibility, I haven't seen it," Qin Jin thought for a while, "Initially, only the zombies themselves can feel the consciousness. When it reaches a certain level, it will affect their behavior, and only then will they be captured."
The consciousness of the several zombies following him has little to do with their levels. Even himself, his consciousness has existed since he became a zombie, which allows him to upgrade much faster than other zombies.
Su He fell silent after receiving the news he wanted to know. Qin Xing turned to look at Lu Weiyi, "Is that half-corpse... still alive?"
"He's alive, and he has a boyfriend?" Lu Weiyi thought of what Zhuang Aiyi mentioned when they were chatting before, and said, "I heard that they are saving money recently, preparing to cultivate a child and raise them together after the embryo cultivation technology is introduced."
"That's inevitable. He must have suffered during the experiment." Su He now completely put Lu Weiyi on the enemy side.
Lu Weiyi can attack adults, but as a father protecting his child, he really can't say anything. But Su He refused to give in, "I've heard that you in Yuebanwan are pretending to obey but actually disobeying, and now it seems to be true."
"The zombie energy release potion may not be developed by your base itself, right? Those researchers who were sent to your base had no news after "something happened". Are they really dead?"
"So hypocritical and high-sounding—"
Even before the end of the world, Lu Weiyi had never been accused like this before, let alone someone who had been in a high position for a long time. As Su He became emotional and spoke without thinking, his face gradually turned cold, and his mental strength was unconsciously suppressed around him due to his mood.
Qin Xing noticed this and knew that if he continued like this, Su He would be the one to suffer, so he immediately turned around and wanted to stop him from continuing. However, when his eyes fell on the other person, the first thing that caught his eye was Mu Wan's bulging belly that looked like it was rolling.
"She...she is about to give birth."
