Chapter 139 Pregnant with Twins
On the other side of the base, Wu You was still conducting rigorous training on this group of female soldiers. The formal training was more difficult than they had imagined.
Not long after, they saw Qin Jia, covered in blood, running over to ask for help, "Help, please save my mother!"
Ding Manman happened to come here, and when she heard her shout, she immediately asked nervously, "What happened?"
"There was a man who wanted to molest me, and my mother was hurt by him while trying to save me. Now, I don't know if I can be saved. Manman, I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past. Since I admit my mistakes and repent now, and my mother is about to die, please go and see her!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
With such an exaggerated commotion and so many eyes staring at her, it would be inappropriate for her not to go and take a look. She was originally taking a break, but after thinking about it, Ding Manman decided to go and see what was going on.
Qin Jia cried so hard that she almost died. She blacked out and fainted. She looked at her body and found only some superficial injuries, nothing serious. So she said to an aunt next to her, "Please take her to the medical room. Wu You, can you come with me to see what's going on there?"
"No problem, Sister Manman, you guys continue to train the rest of them, I'll be right back."
"good."
It was not until the two of them arrived at the place Qin Jia mentioned and looked at the two people lying in a pool of blood that Manman checked and found that they were both dead. The initial speculation was that one died of excessive blood loss and the other was strangled to death.
She could only determine the cause of death of the two people, and their limbs were already stiff, and they must have been unable to turn back. Now only Qin Jia knew the situation at that time. Now there is no extra manpower in the entire base to investigate this abnormal death incident. After all, the people who died were so wrong that everyone has become accustomed to it, and can even be said to be numb.
Manman shook her head. "It's hopeless."
Although she didn't have a good impression of Xia Qiaoyun, the person was dead after all, so she must do a good job of cleaning up the body.
Wu You and Manman, one was a child who should have been studying hard in school, and the other was a weak girl who was afraid of even cockroaches, now looked at the two corpses without any fear. The skilled contact person took the corpses away. They would be arranged in a nearby cemetery. Compared to those soldiers who died on the battlefield, the two of them at least had a cemetery after death.
"It's really unfair. A criminal who molests a woman has a grave, but the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the base can only be turned into ashes and buried hastily."
At that time, many of the soldiers' bodies had been torn into pieces, and it was impossible to tell whose body was whose. In addition, they were afraid of causing bacterial infection, so they could only burn the bodies and bury them together.
In front of this huge tomb stands a monument with the words "Warrior who fought for the survival of mankind" written on it.
Qin Jia stood silently in front of Xia Qiaoyun's tombstone, grief-stricken but unable to cry, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself in the future and will not let you sacrifice for me in vain."
At this moment she also realized that living by relying on a man was not a long-term solution. She thought she had attached herself to a powerful man, but once the man met other women, he would be seduced away because men always get tired of the old and love the new.
She couldn't put all the pressure on Li Cheng, she had to become stronger herself. With this in mind, she quickly joined the training of the women's army.
Wu You also brought a piece of news at this time. Sheng Xingyuan had already prepared the medicine before leaving. He would select the people with the best performance and physical fitness from the training and inject them with the medicine to serve the base.
There are only five tubes of potion in total. For these potions, everyone is training desperately so that they can evolve superpowers. After having superpowers, their class will directly jump up. In this chaotic world, they will be able to protect themselves and their families, which is a hundred times better than being an ordinary person.
So everyone is scrambling for these five spots.
Originally, Qin Jia had mentioned this request to Li Cheng, asking him to find a way to get a tube of medicine from the base first, but Li Cheng said he had no way.
"Isn't it good for you to just rely on me like this? I don't like women who are too ambitious."
Since Li Cheng was unwilling to think of a solution, she would rely on her own efforts to obtain the potion. Her original physical fitness was considered good, but she just neglected practice. As long as she passed these tests in the next few days and performed well, she could get the potion.
However, after a day of training, she found that it was too difficult to use the abacus beads, as the women around her were working harder than her. She had no chance of standing out.
Qin Jia could only think of one way, which was to beg Ding Manman. She was a soft-hearted woman and thought that as long as she said a few nice words, there might still be a chance. Although she was very reluctant in her heart, she still shamelessly found Ding Manman.
"Manman, there is something I want to ask you for help with."
Manman had known that Qin Jia would come here for this matter, but she was not in charge of the distribution of the medicine. Even if she was in charge, she would try her best to choose excellent people to inject the medicine, not someone like Qin Jia.
"I know you look down on me, but I have lost my mother. I just want to live a good life now and don't want to rely on men anymore. I beg you to help me make it through. I know you and Wu You know each other..." The once spoiled eldest lady had already begged her in the most humble tone.
But Manman remained indifferent. In the past, she might have felt pity and agreed to let her try, but now her heart was as cold as a fish that had been slaughtered in a supermarket for three years.
There is no one in the base who doesn't want to get the potion. Even the disabled are training hard in the hope of making a breakthrough.
"I'm sorry I can't help you. You have to rely on your own strength. The resources in the base are very tight right now. You need to be very careful when using medicine. It's not just about physical strength, but also about having a noble character. With superpowers, you don't just live for yourself, but for the entire base. Do you have this kind of ideological awareness?"
Qin Jia lowered her head and said, "I can try my best."
"Qin Jia, I'm not talking about your character. Putting everything aside, you want to get the potion and evolve superpowers because of your mother's death. But after you got the superpowers, you only thought about yourself and didn't think about others. In short, I definitely can't help you now. The only thing I can advise you is to hope that you work harder!" She said this calmly, but it made Qin Jia feel very uncomfortable.
"I understand." Qin Jia covered her face and ran out. Since she couldn't get it through this channel, she had to think of other ways. There must be other feasible methods.
After that, Manman was planning to have a prenatal check-up. The doctor used B-ultrasound to check the condition of her abdomen and did not speak for a long time.
Although Manman can observe the situation in her belly, she cannot accurately see the baby's growth status, and she cannot detect fetal movement or heart rate. She still needs to use a professional B-ultrasound machine.
Fortunately, Qin Muxue had stockpiled a lot of high-end B-ultrasound machines before, which were just right for the examination.
Manman was a little nervous, thinking that something was wrong with the baby in her belly. Unexpectedly, the doctor smiled and told her, "There are two gestational sacs. You are pregnant with twins."
After hearing the news, Manman felt both happy and sad.
"You should eat more nutritious food and stop being so depressed. Think more about happy things. This will help the child's growth."
"How can I be happy with what's happening at the base?"
Now they have to try their best to treat the wounded whenever they have time, but there is a severe shortage of medical personnel in the base.
