After finishing her meal, Liu Anran secretly hid two plum pits and used her consciousness to put them into her spatial storage, so that she could eat fresh plums from now on.
With her silver tongue, Liu Anran seamlessly integrated into the Chu family. The pregnant woman's life was simple; she spent her days eating and drinking, and when she was bored, she would chat with Qin Menghan.
Chu Yunxiao wasn't idle either. He gathered his subordinates to form a special abilities team to go out and take on missions, collecting supplies and seeds.
Liu Anran cultivated a vegetable garden in the yard to conceal her private space, and also had Chu Yunxiao take it out to exchange for crystal cores.
Every night when Chu Yunxiao was not home, Liu Anran would lock the door and sneak into her spatial dimension to train her supernatural abilities.
Based on what she had read in post-apocalyptic novels, Liu Anran was worried that the zombie virus and so-called brutal energy remaining on the crystal core might harm the baby in her womb. So, before absorbing the crystal core each time, she would soak it in spiritual spring water to make it purer and easier to absorb the energy inside.
The stronger one's superpowers, the stronger one's physical abilities will become. Liu Anran trains her superpowers and absorbs crystal cores every day.
Liu Anran knew that childbirth was like a brush with death for pregnant women; those who survived could live. Even in peacetime, pregnant women died during childbirth, let alone in times like now when life was uncertain.
She didn't want to die. The stronger her superpower, the greater her chances of survival. As for how strong her combat power was, she could worry about that later!
Liu Anran often used the excuse of being bored during her pregnancy to find out about the base. The base was controlled by Qin Ruixu, and even Chu Yunxiao and Duan Yu dared not offend him. There were also some rumors about Chu Yunxiao and Bai Lu, even saying that she was only able to marry into the Chu family because of the child in her belly, and that Bai Lu was Chu Yunxiao's true love.
Liu Anran ignored the rumors; all she wanted was to give birth to her child safely. As for whether she could be with Chu Yunxiao forever, that was a matter for the future.
As the army rescued more and more intellectuals and technicians, the base became stronger and more stable, and Liu Anran's life got better and better. She could even use her mobile phone to read novels and watch TV series to pass the time.
Liu Anran would also keep a daily record of her pregnancy, and whenever Chu Yunxiao came back, she would show it to him so that Chu Yunxiao could bond with the baby.
She learned this move from the female lead, and she even had Chu Yunxiao and Yunlong practice together to enhance Yunlong's combat power and ability to control his supernatural powers.
Say a few more nice words to get more power crystals for yourself and Yunlong, so that if you're not careful and Chu Yunxiao gets bewitched by the female lead, it'll be easier to escape.
As time went by, Liu Anran's belly grew bigger and bigger, making it difficult for her to move around, and various pregnancy reactions followed one after another.
Liu Anran went from having a great appetite to now vomiting everything she eats. If it weren't for the existence of the spiritual spring water, Liu Anran would have long since lost control of her temper.
Qin Menghan was worried about Liu Anran's health, so she went to see Qin Ruixu for help.
Qin Ruixu didn't hesitate either. He had just rescued a large number of medical staff when he went out, so he let Liu Anran stay there.
Her attending physician was none other than Dr. Fang. "Eat better these days, stand up and walk around every day. You'll be staying in the hospital for a while. You'll be giving birth to twins or triplets earlier than other pregnant women, so you need to be mentally prepared."
After examining Liu Anran, Dr. Fang instructed her that things were different now; the hospital was fully equipped, and Dr. Fang could accurately determine what Liu Anran needed to eat and how the baby was doing.
Dr. Fang also asked the nurse to bring a piece of paper with the items needed for childbirth written on it. Then he stood up and said to Liu Anran, "Your physical condition is good, there's nothing seriously wrong. I still need to go to another hospital to take a look."
Qin Menghan saw Dr. Fang to the door. "Okay, thank you, Dr. Fang."
Hospitals were the hardest hit areas, with many doctors losing their lives and many excellent doctors disappearing without a trace.
An excellent doctor often has to be in charge of several wards, unlike before when money could make a doctor focus on serving you. If it weren't for Qin Ruixu, how could Liu Anran have gotten a private room?
Qin Menghan asked Zhang Sao to go to the warehouse to get the items according to the list, and also asked the kitchen to prepare more food.
That day, Liu Anran was sitting on the bed eating when Chu Yunxiao suddenly rushed in, carrying a large pile of things.
Liu Anran looked at Chu Yunxiao with a puzzled expression, "Why are you back? Weren't you supposed to be on a mission?"
“I met my uncle a few days ago, and he told me that you might be giving birth in a few days, so I went to a maternity and baby store and got some things.”
Looking at the somewhat disheveled Chu Yunxiao, Liu Anran thought of how Qin Ruixu had taken such good care of her. "You only realized this when you were about to give birth. What were you doing before?"
Just then, Liu Anran felt a warm flow coming from below. She threw the lunchbox into the cabinet, lifted the blanket, and found that the mattress under her was soaked with amniotic fluid.
Chu Yunxiao dropped what he was doing and ran over to check on her. "An Ran, what's wrong?"
Liu Anran snapped out of her daze and quickly pressed the call button by the bedside. "What are you doing here? Go call the doctor, my water broke."
Liu Anran snapped, annoyed. "He has no sense at all! Is this guy really the male lead described in the book? How can he be so stupid?"
Chu Yunxiao was taken aback and hurriedly ran out to find a doctor.
