Chapter 149 Apocalypse: I Don't Mind Other People's Business (15)
Time flies by.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Various online social platforms have stopped working completely, and the lives of the survivors have almost regressed to the level before industrial civilization.
As zombies evolved further, higher-level beings emerged, and ordinary people almost lost their ability to fight back when they encountered high-level zombies.
This further highlights the status of those with superpowers.
Powerful superhumans remain the main force in the fight against zombies. At the same time, a new class has emerged in human society: the superhuman class. They possess abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people and naturally seek a status far superior to that of ordinary people.
This relegates ordinary people to the lowest rung of society, whether in the base or the safe zone.
A CEO with hundreds of billions in assets serves dishes.
A wealthy socialite sweeps the streets.
He used to work odd jobs on a farm for a high-ranking official.
Without superpowers, no matter how illustrious one's past status, now one can only live a humble life; that is reality.
Yan Qiyu fainted when she gave birth to her son prematurely.
And it was at this moment that she finally awakened her supernatural abilities—
Healing/soothing.
At the same time, she also gained another memory.
That was a completely different life from reality. In that life, she didn't have children. No, she didn't even have much of a relationship with Li Jingxing.
Her lover was a high and mighty figure like Qin Zhan, and she herself was also incredibly radiant.
But now...
She opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
What's going on here?
My life shouldn't be like this!
Watching Li Jingxing curiously hold and comfort the child, she became even more irritated; she disliked this father and son duo completely.
"Get out! Take your son out of here, I need to rest!"
She couldn't help but shout.
Li Jingxing's expression froze, and he silently carried the child to the living room.
His attitude has long since returned to how he was when they were deeply in love, completely obedient to each other.
Now, Yan Qiyu has awakened her superpowers, while he is still an ordinary person, and his status has returned to what it was before. Li Jingxing is not stupid; he is flexible and knows what attitude he should have.
He was even quite glad that the two of them had a child; having a child to bind them together made things much easier.
Li Jingxing thought for a moment, then took the child and went out.
He was as excited as a young man who had just become a father, boasting to everyone he met that he had a son, and he also told them that his wife had awakened her superpowers.
"Oh, Brother Li, I really envy you. You have a wife with superpowers. Your life is going to be much better from now on."
Some people expressed envy, and Li Jingxing just smiled.
"Sigh, life is the same for all of us adults, whether it's easy or not. The important thing is that the children can have an easier time."
He promoted it tirelessly, and within a few days, the news spread, even reaching the superhumans in the safe zone.
When Yan Qiyu found out, she was furious.
But Li Jingxing looked aggrieved.
"Yuyu, I'm happy that we're having a baby. We're a serious couple having a child, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Yan Qi was extremely depressed.
"Is this a child's matter?! You, you..."
She wanted to accuse him, but couldn't find the words. Li Jingxing wasn't talking nonsense; he was telling the truth. But it was the truth that she didn't want to publicize, because it wasn't something to be proud of for her.
"Let's break up. I don't want anything to do with you anymore!"
Enraged, Yan Qiyu finally uttered those words.
Li Jingxing's expression changed.
"I disagree! Yu Yu, how can you bear to let your child grow up in a single-parent family?"
His use of the child as an excuse made Yan Qiyu even angrier.
"I don't care! You raise your own son!"
She stood up and was about to walk outside.
Li Jingxing tried to reach out and pull her, but she pushed him away, and he almost lost his balance. Now, Yan Qiyu was a superhuman, and her physique had been enhanced, making her much stronger than an ordinary person.
Seeing Yan Qiyu stride out the door, Li Jingxing's eyes flickered twice, and finally he gritted his teeth.
The next moment, he picked up the sleeping child, pinched the child, and the child immediately burst into tears.
Li Jingxing carried the child and followed them out.
"Honey, I was working every day during your pregnancy, and I was really exhausted. I did neglect my emotional well-being, so it's understandable that you're upset with me. I'll change, okay? Please believe me."
His voice was quite loud, and coupled with the child's loud crying, it quickly attracted a lot of attention.
What kind of scene is this?
Abandoning her husband and children?
Even in this apocalyptic context, abandoning one's husband and children would still damage one's reputation.
Many people began to whisper among themselves.
Yan Qiyu paused, turned around, and her face turned pale.
"Honey, the kids are calling for their mom."
Li Jingxing stepped forward and knelt down in front of her with a thud.
"Please, for the sake of the child, if I've made any mistakes, please point them out, and I'll definitely correct them, okay?"
His voice was pleading, evoking sympathy.
Yan Qiyu couldn't leave even if she wanted to. She was so angry that her body trembled, and she stepped forward, gritting her teeth.
"Li Jingxing, what are you doing?! I'm registering information for people with superpowers, not abandoning you all."
She had to offer an explanation, mainly for the people around her.
"But you just said..."
Before Li Jingxing could finish speaking, Yan Qiyu had already snatched the child away.
"Shut up, let's go!"
The two arrived at the registration office for people with special abilities one after the other. Yan Qiyu demonstrated her special abilities, which surprised everyone.
Healing/soothing.
Very rare.
"Miss Yan, congratulations! Your ability is very rare. Our team is lacking healing abilities."
Yan Qiyu opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Li Jingxing stepped forward.
"My wife has awakened superpowers, so can we enjoy separate housing according to the regulations?"
The staff member glanced at the child in Yan Qiyu's arms and nodded.
"Of course, according to the regulations, your family can choose to live alone in one place."
Yan Qiyu: .....
She really wanted to say that she and Li Jingxing were not a couple, and were even on the verge of breaking up, but looking at the child in her arms, she knew that it would be useless to say these things now. If things went wrong, Li Jingxing might make a scene, making things even more difficult to handle.
The two chose an apartment, and Yan Qiyu completed the registration. She asked with some anticipation:
"Does Captain Qin Zhan's team need a healing-type ability user? I..."
The staff member was somewhat surprised, then laughed.
"Miss Yan, who is Captain Qin Zhan? Although healing-type ability users are rare, how could there be a shortage of teams led by him personally?"
Yan Qiyu lowered her head.
A feeling of powerlessness washed over me.
Is there no chance left?
Is there no chance at all, not even the chance to stay by his side?
Just then, she heard a noise outside. She turned her head and looked over, and her eyes widened in shock.
"Yan Changqing, what brings you here?"
The visitor was none other than her beloved elder brother, Yan Changqing, whom she knew very well. He was dressed cleanly and looked relaxed, just as he had been before the apocalypse.
She hadn't seen him stream for so long that she thought he was long dead, but she never expected him to appear here.
"I'm here to register as a person with superpowers."
Changqing stepped forward and spoke to the staff.
Superpowers?
Yan Qiyu opened her mouth in disbelief. In her memory, Yan Changqing had died long ago and did not have any special abilities.
The staff were very welcoming.
"May I ask, sir, what special ability have you awakened?"
"Spatial ability."
With a wave of his hand, Changqing suddenly produced a large pile of pots, pans, and ladles on the table. Then, to everyone's surprise, he reached out and touched them, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The staff were pleasantly surprised.
How big is your space?
Spatial abilities are very practical, used for searching for supplies and transporting things. They are practically essential for going out. There are two spatial ability users in the safe zone, but their personal spaces are only a few square meters. They can handle some medicine, but they are not capable of handling large items.
Especially during this period, the safe zone is resuming production and preparing to relocate some production lines and machinery from other places, which is very difficult to operate and there has been no good solution.
She couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
Changqing smiled and said calmly, "It's about the size of a dozen football fields."
The receptionist exclaimed in surprise.
Beside them, Yan Qiyu and Li Jingxing were also surprised.
"You, you must have awakened your superpowers a long time ago, right? Otherwise, how would you still have food so long after the apocalypse?"
Yan Qiyu stepped forward and questioned her.
"That's none of your concern."
Changqing turned around with a mocking expression. He glanced at the child in Yan Qiyu's arms and then laughed.
"Oh my, Yan Qiyu, you're a mother now? Congratulations! But having a baby soon isn't enough, you two must grow old together and be loving for a lifetime."
"Of course we will grow old together and love each other for a lifetime!"
Li Jingxing stepped forward and loudly proclaimed, as if afraid that others would not hear him.
Yan Qiyu lowered her head, wishing she could leave immediately.
At this point, she understood perfectly well that Li Jingxing wanted to be bound to her and enjoy the benefits that came with her status.
But what could she do?
If it were just a relationship, it wouldn't be so bad; they could just break up. But now, there's another child involved, and Li Jingxing has already announced it everywhere. She feels a deep sense of powerlessness.
Her life shouldn't be like this.
She should appear confidently in front of Qin Zhan, attract his attention, and become the woman by the leader's side!
This is her true destiny.
How could she have had a child with this good-for-nothing who isn't even a superhuman, and now she can't get rid of him!
Suddenly, something flashed through her mind, and Yan Qiyu stared wide-eyed at Chang Qing.
"No! Do you also have memories of your past life? You deliberately ignored me, didn't you? You deliberately let me be with Li Jingxing, didn't you? You're hurting me!"
She seemed to have seen through something, but couldn't believe it, and questioned in a hoarse voice.
Changqing frowned and took a step back.
"What are you talking about? Are you sick? You and Li Jingxing had a love marriage."
Yan Qiyu shook her head.
"No, you were supposed to pick me up that night, but you didn't come, so I had sex with Li Jingxing under the influence of alcohol."
That's not a nice thing to say.
Changqing didn't like listening to it either.
He chuckled, his gaze towards Yan Qiyu remaining completely unwavering.
"What does your relationship have to do with me? Why should I pick you up? Don't drag me into your marital problems. You already have a child, and you're still so willful." He paused, then looked at Li Jingxing. "Mr. Li, control your woman. Handle your own problems and don't drag others into it."
Li Jingxing's face was already ashen.
What did Yan Qiyu mean by that? Does she regret being with him now?
Bringing up old stories.
Haha, she didn't refuse that day.
So he stepped forward with a hurt expression.
"Wife, I know you've become an esper, and I'm no longer good enough for you. But, were all those years of our relationship just a lie? Was our child a lie? You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Qiyu threw the child into his arms and ran outside.
The child's cries immediately rang out.
Li Jingxing quickly chased after him.
"Ha, they've even got a child. We'd better lock them up tightly."
