"System, I feel very strange," Chen Xiaoru silently asked the system in her mind, "You said I was pregnant, and I fought the Zombie King for so long and was injured. Why is the baby in my belly not hurt at all this time?"
The system's cute voice rang out in her mind: "Host, this is related to your constitution. Didn't you take the Strength Pill before and then drink the Spiritual Spring Water? The Spiritual Spring Water can strengthen your constitution. So, if it weren't for the abortion pills given by the system, the baby wouldn't be born. No matter how you try, it won't matter."
"So that's how it is." Chen Xiaoru's mind suddenly became clear. Since the system said so, she had nothing to worry about. She had originally thought of buying some medicine to preserve the pregnancy, but now it seems that she has saved this expense.
Zhou Yuxuan came out of the bathroom quickly, with the fragrance of a shower on his body and water droplets dripping from the ends of his hair.
Chen Xiaoru had fallen into a deep sleep. She lay on her side with her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was not at peace even in her dreams.
The continuous fighting and physical fatigue, coupled with the burden of pregnancy, had already overwhelmed her.
Zhou Yuxuan walked to the bed and gently kissed Chen Xiaoru on the forehead. His movements were gentle, for fear of waking her up.
Then, he carefully lay down beside Chen Xiaoru, held her in his arms, feeling the warmth from her body. Zhou Yuxuan also closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In the next few days, Zhou Yuxuan, Chen Xiaoru, and Chen's father and mother all rested in the base.
During this period, they also took the opportunity to check the situation at the base.
The base is directly managed by the military, and the supplies distributed to everyone every day are the same, and there are no special circumstances.
Zhou Yuxuan also discovered that there was a laboratory in the base that was studying the virus serum.
"Wife, do you think they can develop a serum?" Zhou Yuxuan asked softly, hugging Chen Xiaoru, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. "If they can develop it, will this apocalypse end?"
Chen Xiaoru leaned in his arms and said calmly, "I don't know, but it looks like there won't be much success. There's little hope!"
"Yeah, it would be great if we could figure it out. This damn apocalypse would end sooner and we could live a peaceful life." Zhou Yuxuan sighed, his tone full of helplessness and fatigue.
"You investigate for a few days. If you are sure that there is no problem with the base, maybe I can provide something to make an antidote for the base." Chen Xiaoru said.
"What's this about my wife? How can she be so powerful?" Zhou Yuxuan asked curiously.
"It was the water you drank yesterday that can detoxify the zombies. Otherwise, do you think you have such good luck that you won't be poisoned every time? If I hadn't given you that water, you would have turned into a zombie long ago." Chen Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him.
"Wife, you are so kind to me. I am so touched!" Zhou Yuxuan was very touched and hugged Chen Xiaoru and rubbed her. "Wife, you are my savior."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Don't leave this matter to me when the time comes. You are still pregnant and I am afraid you will be in danger." Zhou Yuxuan said, "I will arrange everything, so you just rest assured and take care of the baby." A shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the base, breaking the original tranquility.
"All people with special abilities, emergency assembly, all people with special abilities, emergency assembly." The radio kept repeating the order for emergency assembly. The voice was quick and stern, echoing above the base, making people's hearts tighten.
"What's going on?" Zhou Yuxuan frowned, his sharp eyes swept towards the direction where the alarm came from, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
"I don't know. Let's go and take a look." Chen Xiaoru's eyes also became serious. She quickly stood up, took Zhou Yuxuan's arm and walked out.
The two quickly rushed to the base command center, only to see that many people with special abilities had gathered inside, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
"Report, a large number of new mutant zombies have appeared outside the base, and the defense forces can't hold on any longer!" A soldier ran in hurriedly and reported to the commander with an anxious face.
The commander was a middle-aged man with a stern face and sharp eyes. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "New mutant zombies? What are their characteristics?"
"Report to the commander, these new mutant zombies are faster, stronger, and..." A trace of fear appeared on the soldier's face, "and they don't seem to be afraid of fire. Ordinary flame attacks are completely ineffective against them!"
"What?" The commander stood up suddenly, his face pale. He slammed his fist on the table with a loud bang. "How is this possible? Fire has always been an effective way to eliminate zombies. How can they not be afraid of fire?"
"It's true, sir! We saw it with our own eyes!" The soldier's voice trembled, his eyes filled with despair. "We attacked them with flamethrowers, but they weren't afraid at all. They charged straight at us. We suffered heavy casualties! We...we can't hold on any longer!"
Zhou Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoru looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Wife, it seems that the zombies this time are not simple." Zhou Yuxuan said in a deep voice, frowning.
"Yeah, he's not even afraid of fire. This is troublesome." Chen Xiaoru's face also became solemn.
"I'll go take a look." Zhou Yuxuan said, turning around and about to walk out.
"Wait!" Chen Xiaoru grabbed him and said, "I'll go with you."
"No, you're pregnant now, it's too dangerous!" Zhou Yuxuan refused without hesitation, "Wait at the base, I'll be back soon."
"I'm fine. Have you forgotten my physical condition?" Chen Xiaoru insisted. "Besides, I can protect myself."
"But..." Zhou Yuxuan was still worried, "Those zombies are too dangerous. What if something happens to you..."
