It is normal for newborn babies to be ugly.
But this child was different. There was something that looked like a small grass hanging on his head. Mother Qi took a deep breath and almost fainted.
"This, this... bright, this..."
Qi's mother was a little panicked, her voice tinged with tears. Her daughter gave birth to such a monster. Would Mingliang abandon her daughter?
Qi's mother was very satisfied with Mingliang, her son-in-law. When the end of the world came, he took her and her daughter to flee everywhere. No matter how scarce food was, he would rather starve himself than let her daughter starve. This was a thousand times better than some men she saw who thought their wives were useless and just wanted to take up a bite of food.
Besides, Qi Yueyue likes him so much, if Mingliang dislikes Qi Yueyue because of this...
I dare not think about it.
Qi's mother didn't even dare to look at Mingliang.
Mingliang saw Qi's mother with a sad face and thought that something had happened to the child. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he hurried over to check. When he saw a piece of grass on the child's head, Mingliang was stunned.
No matter what, this is your child.
In such an environment, it is the greatest blessing that mother and child are safe.
"Mom, it's okay. Things are different now. Other kids won't laugh at him. The safety of mother and child is the most important thing in this situation."
Seeing Mingliang comforting her, Qi's mother smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Isn't that right? It's the end of the world now, and there aren't as many children as before. Being able to survive is a blessing. It's just a little extra grass on your head. Maybe you've been gifted with special abilities since childhood?
Seeing Mingliang holding the baby in his arms clumsily, with the joy of being a father for the first time on his face, Qi's mother felt completely relieved.
"He's quite talented."
Xu Bai walked forward and took a few glances. In his previous life, there were children born with certain characteristics, but they were rare. Usually, people with these characteristics would cultivate superpowers faster than ordinary people who awakened later. However, because of this talent, they could not control it at all during infancy, and it would only begin to appear on the surface of the skin. When they grew up and could flexibly control their superpowers, they could then put these characteristics away.
"City Lord, you mean... have supernatural powers?"
Xu Bai nodded: "Yes, before the age of two or three, these features will become more and more obvious. There is no need to remove them. They will be fine when he grows up. It can be seen that he is a wood-type mutant."
"You should also be more careful when taking care of children. It's not easy to take care of a baby with superpowers."
In her previous life's base, there was a person who went to great lengths to give birth to a child. The child was born with fire-related abilities, and she almost burned herself or the house down, suffering terribly.
"Okay, okay." Mother Qi was excited. She had been wondering whether she had superpowers since childhood, but now that it was confirmed by the city lord, it was a certainty. How could she not be excited?
If you have special abilities, at least you will be able to protect yourself when you grow up.
Ji Heng, who had been standing by, looked up at Xu Bai and listened to her talking to Mingliang about things he needed to pay attention to during infancy.
Ji Heng's eyes dimmed slightly.
After spending these days together, he always felt that Xu Bai understood many things that they didn't know. It felt as if Xu Bai had experienced the apocalypse and lived there for many years...
But is this possible?
Ji Heng couldn't find the answer. He walked out of the medical room and stood at the office door. He looked up at the dark sky for a long time. Only when the rain started to fall did Ji Heng come to his senses. He took a few steps back and shouted inside: "It's raining hard."
Because of the impact of the two previous rain events, everyone was a little nervous when they heard that it was going to rain.
Xu Bai immediately ordered Xu Qing to broadcast and tell everyone not to go out. He took out his mobile phone to post an announcement on the Shuguang Forum, while asking others to close the doors and windows.
The rain was heavy and torrential.
It rained for three whole days before it stopped.
Fortunately, in Dawn City, she was still able to control the transfer of things from the warehouse. Everyone thought that Xu Bai took them out from her space. She was very glad that Xu Bai's space could store some food at any time. Otherwise, it would rain heavily in the past two or three days, and there were only umbrellas in the office. She would get wet in minutes if she went out.
Getting wet is not scary, what is scary is not knowing whether the rain will cause people to mutate into zombies again.
"Next time, I'll put some food and quilts in the office to avoid this situation again." Xu Qing wrapped his coat around himself, but still shivered from the cold.
After the rain, there will be even colder air.
Everyone was freezing cold.
The drainage pipes in Dawn City were well built and there was no water accumulation. Everyone ran back to their homes and put on thick clothes to keep warm.
Xu Bai wrapped himself in another coat and hurried to the farmland. Many vegetables had wilted and rotted on the ground.
Xu Bai put on the gloves handed to him by Jiao Nanmu and went down to the farmland.
I just loosened the soil, picked up the wilted Chinese mustard greens, and when I smelled them closely, I could smell the alkaline and sour smell.
“It’s acid rain.”
Jiao Nanmu looked at all the inedible vegetables and grains and felt a pang of regret. He silently cleaned up the vegetables and loosened the soil.
After a long time, Jiao Nanmu finally asked, "Can anything be grown in this soil?"
"able."
Xu Bai turned around and discussed with the system.
"Every time it rains, I lose a lot of my crops. It's a huge loss. Have you seen anything in the store that can protect the farmland?"
Xu Bai was too lazy to spend time looking it up in the system store, so he asked about the system directly.
The system, which had just served as customer service, was already very familiar with this kind of business. In just a few minutes, it immediately got Xu Bai what she wanted.
The protective cover V1 model can protect an area of 100 square meters and costs 500,000 yuan.
Good job!
Xu Bai looked at the 600 pieces of farmland. At least three or four protective shields would be needed, which would be equivalent to 2 million. She glanced at the remaining 470,000 energy points and continued to ask.
"Are there any larger protective shields? How much do they cost?"
"If this shield protects the entire Dawn City, does it mean that Dawn City will not be affected by extreme weather such as strong winds, rain, and snow?"
The system was silent for a long time, and after a few minutes it found what Xu Bai needed again.
[System: This 100-square-meter protective shield is specially developed for growing plants in farmland. If you want to cover the entire Dawn City, there is only this type of shield screen.]
Xu Bai took a closer look and saw countless zeros. For a moment, he felt that it was more likely that she would buy the library's research building.
But she was very attracted by the shield that could protect the entire city!
Xu Bai added a new item to be purchased on the purchase list and marked the price.
Jiao Nanmu was pushing a small cart filled with food damaged by acid rain, which he was pushing into a trash bin for destruction.
The trash cans in Dawn City are magical. They are like a huge pool. They don’t need to be cleaned and will disappear automatically. No one knows where the garbage is transported to.
Just as Jiao Nanmu pushed the trash can down, he saw the city security guards running towards him in a panic.
"Zombie... the zombie tide is coming..."
