After hanging up the phone, Han Junche told Mr. Mei about his conversation with Yang Hong.
After listening, Mr. Mei's opinion was the same as Han Junche's. Finally, he smiled and patted Han Junche on the shoulder: "You have completed your apprenticeship. From now on, the heavy responsibility of the empire will be completely handed over to you. We old guys can finally retire."
Han Junche quickly said, "Before the apocalypse, the presidents elected in the United States were all eighty years old. You are still young and can contribute at least thirty more years."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Mei laughed and said, "No wonder when I went to see Qin Zhao the other day, he kept complaining to me, saying that you are a skinflint who has been exploiting him all along."
Han Junche raised an eyebrow: "I think he's got a lot of free time on his hands, that he even has time to complain to you."
Seeing his expression, it was clear that he had another idea to mess with Qin Zhao. Mr. Mei quickly smiled and said, "Don't mess with him again. He is now in charge of all the infected in the empire. Old Ning and I are under his jurisdiction. If you mess with him, he will definitely find another way to mess with us."
Han Junche didn't take it seriously: "Mr. Mei, don't worry, he wouldn't dare."
“No, he wouldn’t dare.” Mr. Mei shook his head with a smile: “That kid Qin Zhao, perhaps he’s been with you for too long and has learned a lot of bad ideas.”
Upon hearing this, Han Junche blinked, unsure whether Mr. Mei was praising him or insulting him.
While Han Junche was on an inspection tour, Chi Xia temporarily took over his duties.
That day, she was still processing her daily documents when Zhang Xin suddenly rushed over from next door, still out of breath, and excitedly told her, "At the Capital Credit Union Hospital, someone has been diagnosed with pregnancy!"
Chi Xiateng stood up abruptly: "Has it been diagnosed?"
"It's confirmed." Zhang Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "The blood test results show that the HCG level has reached mIU/ml, and the ultrasound also shows that the gestational sac has appeared."
"That's great!" Chi Xia breathed a long sigh of relief. "We must take good care of the pregnant woman. This is not just a family matter. Also, notify the publicity department to release a press release immediately and publish this news tonight."
This may be the first child born after the apocalypse begins, which is of great significance.
The apocalypse has been going on for nearly three years, and even the capital city has been back to normal for nearly two years, yet not a single child has been born.
At first, no one noticed, but as time went on, more and more people discovered this.
Rumors have even started circulating that humans are no longer able to reproduce and will soon become extinct.
The rumor hasn't had much of an impact yet because the people of the Empire have only just emerged from the apocalypse and begun to live peaceful lives.
However, if no newborns are born as time goes on, people will inevitably panic and cause unrest, and a second man-made apocalypse may occur.
The news of her pregnancy has finally come out, which has truly relieved Chi Xia and the others.
Chi Xia thought for a moment, then said to Zhang Xin, "We must protect the pregnant woman's privacy, and also send two people to protect her safety. Most importantly, we must not let anyone disturb the pregnant woman's peace."
Zhang Xin nodded and immediately left to take care of it.
That evening, news broke that a woman had tested positive for pregnancy, drawing the attention of the entire empire. The next day, the word "pregnancy" occupied almost half the page in local newspapers.
Everyone who talked about this topic had a hint of excitement on their face.
Good news keeps coming. After a pregnant woman was discovered in the capital, several more pregnant women have been found in other parts of the country.
Han Junche and Mr. Mei, who were on patrol outside, even made a special trip to visit the pregnant woman, which shows how much they valued this matter.
