Chapter 145 New Life
Qi Jiayou didn't know where Zhou Huaijin's thoughts were directed by his casual words.
He just listened to Zhou Huaijin firmly denying that Chi Wan's boyfriend was Xia Houyu, and he half believed it and half doubted: "Okay, but let me tell you, there has been a lot of movement up there recently?"
Hearing the serious business, Zhou Huaijin didn't bother to dwell on it anymore, and said thoughtfully: "My father has been very busy recently, but I vaguely heard him mention it before. On the one hand, he needs more evidence from the phone, and on the other hand, he seems to have some concerns."
Qi Jiayou sneered: "To put it bluntly, they are afraid that they will be desperate. After all, they have been deeply involved with northern Myanmar for so many years. If things go wrong, there will be a large-scale conflict..."
Zhou Huaijin shook his head: "It's not just because of this. I guess there are still a lot of hostages over there. Unless it's an extreme situation, the higher-ups don't want to cause unnecessary casualties."
Qi Jiayou sighed, "No wonder they have been held back. The He family still has room to maneuver. They probably think they won't give up easily. But this matter has been at a stalemate for a while, and we don't know what the final outcome will be."
"Or maybe it's just a trick, who knows. Even my brother has no idea what he's been doing lately. He suddenly went to Hong Kong City."
Qi Jiayou was stunned: "Brother Huai'an went to Hong Kong City? Is it my uncle who..."
Zhou Huaijin's face flashed with confusion: "Maybe. You know, I was immersed in research before and didn't care much about these things, so my father and others rarely told me about their work."
If it weren't for He Lingfeng's threat to Chi Wan this time, he would not have taken the initiative to find out about the He family. When his father heard him asking these questions indirectly, he looked surprised and thought he had changed.
Qi Jiayou and Zhou Huaijin are in a similar situation. He is the youngest in the family, and the pressure of inheriting the family business is borne by his brother, so he can do things that interest him.
The reason he was interested in the He family's affairs was purely because of the huge impact, and his father seemed to be under a lot of pressure recently because of this matter.
The two people who were immersed in scientific research looked at each other and saw a bit of helplessness in each other's eyes.

After Chi Wan saw Zhou Huaijin off, he immediately went to Li Xingye.
Li Xingye hugged her and took a deep breath at her neck, as if to make up for all the longing he had felt over the past few days.
Chi Wan scratched his hair with amusement: "What's wrong, are you really jealous?"
Li Xingye raised his head upon hearing this, poked her face gently, and sighed, "How dare I? Our Wanwan is so popular. What if I make you unhappy and you ignore me?"
Chi Wan grabbed Li Xingye's finger and bit it gently: "My beloved concubine is so generous, which makes me feel pity for her."
Li Xingye finally couldn't help laughing and pulled her out of the central building of the base.
Chi Wan was somewhat pleasantly surprised to find that there seemed to be big changes every time he came.
The streets that used to become deserted at night have now become lively.
Because various infrastructures are constantly being repaired and improved by Duan Qianyu and her team, the signals that can be transmitted are becoming more and more numerous and farther.
Even under Li Xingye's escort, Duan Qianyu and Lin Wei have expanded the work of rebuilding the signal tower outside Rongcheng.
Those who came to seek refuge ranged from individual investors to various small and medium-sized bases. They had already reached the end of their rope and were just waiting for the day when their lives would end.
However, they unexpectedly received news that the Dawn Base was willing to take in the survivors.
Although they inevitably encountered zombies on the road, more people still managed to reach the base.
When they saw the rendezvous point set up by Li Xingye outside Rongcheng, when they saw that there was not a single zombie on the entire road leading to the base, and when they saw the giant vine wall in front of them that gave them an incredible sense of security, they finally realized: they seemed to have really found paradise.
As the population continues to grow, the entire base becomes more vibrant.
In addition to some necessary daily necessities, there were stalls selling snacks, midnight snacks, and even handmade jewelry that were "useless" in the end times.
After the power supply was restored, the streets began to have flashing colored lights. The people under the lights gradually lost their cautiousness on their faces and were filled with new expectations for the future.
What surprised Chi Wan the most was that, thanks to the healing capsules, the hospital began to operate normally.
When Li Xingye brought her into the hospital, they went straight to a ward on a certain floor.
Before I walked in, I heard a cry coming from inside.
Li Xingye's face rarely showed such excitement, but at this moment he gently hugged Chi Wan, his voice a little unstable: "Wan Wan, this is the first time a new life is born in the base."
Chi Wan finally understood why he brought her here.
Li Xingye said that this girl came to the base later. She was very thin when she arrived and did not realize that she was pregnant.
Later, she fainted while on a field trip one day, and the base's clairvoyant was called in to check her out, who discovered that she was almost six months pregnant.
From the end of the world to now, everyone's body has undergone changes to varying degrees, especially those with special powers. As early as five or six years after the end of the world, it was difficult for ordinary people to get pregnant, let alone those with special abilities.
In fact, this is a good thing for most women surviving in the apocalypse.
After all, in the gloomy doomsday, everything is unknown. The only certainty is that having a child will bring great risks. Who would be willing to risk their own life and bring a new life destined to have no future into this world to suffer?
The girl herself found it hard to believe and had no idea who the father of the child was. After all, faced with a future that is certain to end in death, many people don't mind giving the body temporary pleasure.
Therefore, upon learning that there was a new life in her body, the girl remained silent for a long time.
But in a base like Dawn, where everything from the name to all the residents are full of hope, she made a decision that surprised everyone - she wanted to give birth to the child.
After being surprised, Li Xingye quickly improved the relevant welfare policies for pregnant women. No one had any objection to this, and instead everyone was looking forward to the birth of this little life.
But the mother was too weak and the child was born before full term.
When she launched the attack, almost everyone in the base was blessing her. Xiaoliu stayed by her side the whole time, ready to rescue her at any time.
Fortunately, the baby was not big, and with Xiaoliu's escort, the birth process was relatively smooth.
However, everyone's eyes turned red and wrinkled when they saw the little creature in the incubator crying at the top of its lungs to announce its existence.
At this moment, the word "hope" seems more concrete than ever before.
And this little girl, named "Hope" by her mother, fell asleep sweetly leaning on her mother after crying herself tired and eating her fill.
