Chapter 2 Fertility Testing
The greater the hope, the greater the despair.
The original owner's sky was completely gray, without a trace of light.
He attempted suicide several times.
In the end, he got Chu Nian, an equally lonely soul.
However, Chu Nian is different from the original owner. He has been stubborn and tough since childhood.
She was able to get into college by picking up trash and working part-time.
They can even become the sales champion based on their own abilities.
When it comes to survival ability, she believes she is no less capable than anyone else.
Only by living can there be hope.
Chu Nian followed Jing Ming to the square of the base.
It is called a square, but it is just a frame made of wood.
There are four chairs connected together that look like they are from the hospital corridor.
Four men and women who were obviously dressed much better than them were sitting there.
There was also a silver machine in front of them, but no one knew what it was used for.
"Line up in two teams, and those who are able to reproduce stay."
"Those who are infertile or have low fertility will be expelled or sent to the Red Tent."
A middle-aged woman with a droopy mouth stood up.
The women waiting to be identified automatically divided into two rows.
Everyone spontaneously moved away from Chu Nian.
It was as if there was some bad luck on her and he was afraid of it getting on him.
Chu Nian shrugged indifferently.
He was the first to stand in front of the machine under everyone's surprised gaze.
"Let's get started."
Chu Nian said in a hoarse voice.
The machine hummed and a green light swept from beginning to end.
When the machine scanned Chu Nian's abdomen, it made a shrill sound: Congenital uterine abnormality, fertility is ominous.
When the others heard the result, they all had an expression of "as expected".
What do you mean by bad luck in fertility? Isn’t it still not possible?
"Go down."
Although the middle-aged woman was cold, there was a hint of regret in her eyes when she looked at Chu Nian.
Wait until all the women have been tested.
Except for Chu Nian's ominous ability.
Another five were judged to be subfertile.
"You decide for yourselves. You can get three steamed buns every day by going to the red tent."
"If you decide to leave, you must leave the base within an hour."
The middle-aged woman was still the one speaking.
The women tested had all been at the base in the last three months.
Testing can only be carried out when a certain number of people are gathered.
It is said that this detection machine consumes a lot of electricity every time it is turned on.
For a small survivor base like theirs, opening it once every three months is already a luxury.
Before the end of the world, women's fertility has been declining year by year.
During the eight years of the apocalypse, people were hungry and cold, struggling on the line between life and death every day.
Many women no longer have menstruation, let alone giving birth.
Moreover, when the apocalypse just started, even filling one’s stomach became a problem, so who would have the energy to feed pregnant women and children?
That is, only after the survivors had stockpiled supplies and built a base through various means did they begin to consider the issue of backup personnel.
A machine for testing fertility has also been invented.
Except Chu Nian, all the other women were willing to stay in the base.
Even if she becomes a man's plaything, it is better than being kicked out of the base and wandering around.
The base is protected by high walls and is stockpiled with food, so you won't starve to death even if you enter the red tent.
But if you leave the base, there are threats from mutant animals and floods.
They have nothing to eat or drink and no special abilities, so aren't they just going to die?
We must cling to the base no matter what.
"Chu Nian, have you really thought it through?"
The middle-aged woman felt a little reluctant.
"I've made up my mind. I'm leaving the base right now."
Chu Nian has the pomegranate system, which can save his life for the time being.
Finding a high-quality male mutant and having a child with him will give you a generous reward.
Staying in the base would actually make it more difficult to move around.
She is a woman who was judged to be of "unknown fertility".
Being sent into the red tent again, Chu Nian got goose bumps all over his body just thinking about it.
She can have many men to fulfill her mission of having children, but she is definitely not forced.
If the matter of the reproductive system is exposed.
By then, you might be eaten alive.
In this apocalypse, she trusts no one except herself!
"Jingming, thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Chu Nian gave a faint smile.
He walked towards the base gate while everyone in the base looked at him as a fool.
When he reached the gate, Chu Nian heard footsteps behind him.
I turned around and saw Jingming with a complicated expression.
Chu Nian smiled.
"Are you here to see me off?"
"Thank you for taking care of me these days. You don't have to send me off. Thank you."
After saying that, Chu Nian walked towards the door that was slightly opened.
The base's gatekeeper is already urging them.
The door cannot be opened just like that.
What if a mutated wild beast infected by an ancient virus sneaks in?
"No, I, I'm here to go with you."
Jingming's voice was low, but his tone was firm.
Chu Nian was surprised.
"Do you know what it means to follow me out?"
"You could die at any moment."
"Compared to my death, I am more afraid of your death."
"I will never let you die in front of me."
Jingming's voice was very low at first.
The last sentence seemed to encourage myself.
Chu Nian's smile widened, and then he turned and walked towards the door.
Jingming followed closely behind.
"Close the door quickly, the water outside the dam is rising again."
“Who knows what might float by.”
The gatekeeper closed the three heavy doors, and Chu Nian looked at the high embankment outside and the blocked flood.
"Nian Nian, where are we going?"
Jingming followed Chu Nian only because of his feelings for her.
But he had no preparation for the future.
Chu Nian took a deep breath. The salty and fishy smell in the air made him feel very uncomfortable.
She picked a direction and said, "Let's go."
Chu Nian doesn't dare to go to the end of the world alone just by relying on the child-bearing system.
According to the original owner's memory.
The world today is actually the same as the world she lives in.
It’s just that Chu Nian was hit by a flying vehicle and was rushed to the end of the world eight years later.
Hopefully the bomb shelter where she kept her things is still there...
Jingming is a wood-type mutant, although he is at the lowest F level.
But he was lucky enough to find a piece of driftwood.
The two men knelt on the driftwood, used their hands as oars, and rowed in the direction Chu Nian directed.
Fortunately, this is still the city where Chu Nian lives.
The flood knocked the city's iconic buildings askew, but they did not fall down, providing guidance for Chu Nian.
The air-raid shelter is right under the mountain in the central park.
"Niannian, this place has been searched countless times by the survivors. There won't be any supplies left behind."
Jingming reminded.
"Come with me."
They stopped at the park.
This street park was built on the basis of the original mountain.
There is still a small hill left under the flood.
This air-raid shelter is very hidden.
If Chu Nian hadn't wandered around for a while, he wouldn't have discovered this abandoned place.
Later she worked in sales. In addition to her regular job, she sold everything that could be sold.
