Chapter 548 Space City
Ye Li picked up the bag, opened it, took out a piece of bread, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth and started eating. The familiar fragrant and soft taste of bread swept over her tongue.
She suddenly remembered that this scene was so familiar.
When she was evacuating from the Holy City with Xiaomu and Xixi, they met a woman holding a child on the road. They did not stop the car, but Xixi left a bag of bread and got out.
I never expected that the woman holding a child I met on the way was actually myself who had traveled through time and space many years later.
Ye Li couldn't help shedding tears while eating the bread. Fortunately, Xixi was kind and left half a bag of bread behind, otherwise she would have starved to death on the roadside.
Ye Li ate two pieces of bread in a row, picked up leaves from the roadside, and scooped water from the puddle in the woods to drink.
She hid the remaining bread in Xiaobao's swaddling clothes, intending to use it to get him through the next few days.
In Ye Li's memory, there were no houses in this forest area. Only when he walked out would he occasionally see houses on the roadside.
In her current condition, she can't hold on that long. Xiaobao's fever must go down as soon as possible and he needs to rest in a warm room.
There will be many more vehicles passing by on this road. Even if the chance of a vehicle stopping is very small, Ye Li will stop one, even if it means using force.
Ye Li carried her child to a tree beside the road and began to wait for a car to pass by. She just wanted to get a ride.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the little baby in her arms was burning with fever all over. Ye Li patted him gently to coax him to sleep, and waited patiently for the car to pass by.
During this period, several groups of refugees passed by. When they saw Ye Li, they all looked inquiringly, but they did not dare to approach him easily because Ye Li was holding a gun in his hand and they would not let him go against their lives.
An hour later, a convoy slowly approached from the far end of the road.
It finally arrived. Ye Li walked into the rain, stood in the middle of the road, and waited for the cars to drive in.
But what Ye Li never thought about was that the convoy was not from the Holy City, nor was it from other scattered people outside, but a convoy of astronauts capturing people.
Ye Li fell into the trap and was locked in the car.
"What's wrong with your child?" The astronaut couldn't help but ask when he heard the child in Ye Li's arms whimpering.
Ye Li replied: "I have a fever. Do you have any medicine?"
The astronaut looked at her, opened his arms and said, "Give me the child."
Ye Li held the child tightly and refused to let go. Who knew what they were going to do to the child?
The astronaut said impatiently, "There's a spare bottle of fever reducer on the driver's seat. If you want your child to live, give him to me."
Ye Li had no choice but to remove the straps and hand the child to the astronaut. There was a threat in her eyes. "He's only six months old. Be careful."
"Haha..." The astronaut said jokingly, "Don't worry, he's just a kid. I won't kill him."
The child was taken away, the door was closed, Ye Li sat on the ground, and the car was filled with captured women and children, just like the two astronaut convoys they rescued.
The car turned and headed back.
Two days later, the car arrived at the space city that was rebuilt after the war.
Everyone in Ye Li's car was driven out and forcibly separated by the astronauts into two teams, one for children and the other for women.
The children will receive education to become future astronauts, while the women will be taken to the experimental building halfway up the mountain to become containers for giving birth.
"Give my child back to me!" Ye Li struggled to break free from the soldier's hand that was pulling her, and rushed towards the astronaut caregiver who was holding her child. She just wanted to get her child back.
