Time passed slowly for more than a month, and Xi Yuan's stomach had not changed much.
Qin Fei asked, and Xi Yuan looked at him speechlessly for a while before answering slowly.
"You can't even see it after three months, and even if it's born, it's usually only the size of a palm."
After the eggs are born, they will continue to grow in the incubator filled with nutrient solution after absorbing enough nutrients until they grow to the size of an ordinary baby. If they are born the same size as an ordinary baby, how can they be born?
Yes, Qin Fei suddenly realized, it is impossible for a baby to suddenly expand to that size in three months like a balloon, so the image of a woman being pregnant for ten months cannot be applied here. He also couldn't imagine Xi Yuan with a big belly.
As for the nutrient solution that Dandan will soak in after he is born, they don't have the same conditions here as at home. The only thing they can use is the stalactites they found in the cave at the beginning. They can drip it into the hot spring water and be absorbed by Dandan as nutrients.
They had no way to collect the others, but they could use their own blood instead.
The blood of the male and female fathers is not only nutritious for the cubs, but also strengthens the blood connection between the cubs and the male and female fathers. Under normal circumstances, when the cub is still an egg in the incubator, the male and female fathers will regularly drip a few drops of blood into it. In this abnormal situation, they can also use the blood as nutrient solution to supplement the eggs.
After the eggs hatch, there are milk fruits inside, which can provide enough nutrition for the cubs.
When the cubs are one year old, they can eat some of the food that adults eat. Xi Yuan can go out hunting, and Qin Fei can use his supernatural powers to produce magic plants and food. In short, the cubs will not be hungry. As for how to lay eggs, Xi Yuan is very calm about it. Is there any difference between a female worm laying an egg and having a bowel movement due to constipation? No.
Qin Fei was highly skeptical about this.
In order to ensure that the cubs have suitable clothes to wear after they are born, Qin Fei and Xi Yuan took out all the soft fabrics in the space. Qin Fei helped while Xi Yuan tried to make the clothes. He had never learned sewing, and even the needles and threads were made with bone needles and disassembled clothes. After making a few sets of unsightly products in a haphazard manner, the rest were much easier. Although they still did not look good, you could tell what they looked like. They were small clothes and pants with all the threads sewn outside to ensure that the side that was worn against the skin was soft and would not hurt the cubs' skin. As for the remaining edges and corners for making clothes, it is simple. Cut them into square blocks of diapers. Yes, diapers. There are no universal diaper bags that absorb water instantly, nor are there guardian robots that specifically take care of babies. They will have to raise them by themselves. It's so sad to say, why are they still so happy?
Qin Fei and Xi Yuan were prepared for everything they could think of, but an accident happened. What is an accident? It is something that is beyond their expectations.
Qin Fei and Xi Yuan both thought that it would take a long time before they could leave this planet. Hong Lian was unable to upgrade, and Xi Yuan still had a long way to go before upgrading, not to mention Qin Fei. By the time he could reach level nine, Qin Fei would have already upgraded and taken them away.
The fastest hope was that Honglian would suddenly realize that step and successfully lead them away. According to their estimation, that step would take several years at least. If their luck was really bad, it would take more than ten or twenty years. If it really took that long, maybe Xi Yuan would also reach the ninth level, and then they would be able to leave. As for what they would face after leaving this planet, they had thought about various scenarios. The best scenario was that their being here was completely an accident, and after leaving this planet where no messages could be sent, they would be able to contact Qin Lang and the others, and then return home smoothly. If their appearance here was not an accident... they would not be able to leave in a short time, and the newborn cubs could not withstand such danger. However, seeing that they could not see any other Zerg here, the possibility that this was an accident was the highest.
In short, they expected that they would be able to leave here after several or even ten years, and they never expected that when Xi Yuan was "patrolling" outside, he looked up and saw a familiar black spot in the sky.
Xi Yuan subconsciously found a place to hide, watching the black spot hover over the area and then go south.
Without thinking, he followed.
It was a spaceship, a model of spaceship he had often seen when he was a soldier on the border!
It stopped in a very dense area of frozen forest, and then several smaller black dots landed from the sky. They were several "King Kong Giants" about ten meters high, that is, mechas!
As soon as they landed, they swung their machetes to break the ice on the trees, uprooting the trees from the ice, and one by one they disappeared into their space button.
Looking at one of the mechas, Xi Yuan narrowed his eyes. It was the mecha of Chong, who used to be an officer under him!
Xi Yuan did not rush out to greet them. He still didn't know what their purpose was here and why they were here, but his optical computer still couldn't send any information. Did they come here to cut down trees?
Until all the trees in this area were cut down, the mechas took off and entered the spaceship that was stationary above, and continued to move south. Xi Yuan naturally followed.
He chased them for a whole day and found out that their purpose was really to cut down trees.
It’s not that they didn’t encounter monsters and magic points, but they chose to ignore them. Some even deliberately avoided them. It wasn’t until their space buttons were filled that their tree-cutting activities came to an end. The black spots in the sky became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.
Xi Yuan looked at the big pits left by the trees they dug up, and thought to himself, they didn't pick any particular tree species, they just uprooted the trees as long as they were a certain size, what use were these trees? They used these trees as firewood, and they had stored quite a lot of them at the beginning, and there were still many piled up in the cave now.
There are still many trees in this forest, they should come again. Xi Yuan turned back to the cave and told Qin Fei what he saw.
Qin Fei immediately took out his optical computer and tried to send a message, but it still failed. However, he couldn't ignore the good news. Not only did Zerg appear here, but some of them were people Xi Yuan knew!
There is hope for their departure!
Once they leave here, Xi Yuan will be able to get the best care!
After calming down a bit, Qin Fei also began to think about it. Xi Yuan did not contact them immediately because of that consideration. They were attacked by interstellar pirates on their way to their honeymoon. Now the spaceship that appeared here did not know their identity. What if they came with bad intentions? Or was this the pirates' lair or backyard?
The female insect that Xi Yuan knew was a military female. From this point of view, military females should have nothing to do with interstellar pirates.
Xi Yuan also said that he should be at the border now, the border where Qin Fei's elder brother Qin Zhe is, the border connected to the most mysterious galaxy in the universe, the Devouring Galaxy.
"If that's the case, then we were directly sent to the border by the black hole there?!" Even though the route they took was not a very prosperous route, it was not remote at all. The key point was that it was completely separated from the border by tens of thousands of miles.
Isn't the point that my brother is stationed at this border? Xi Yuanmo said.
"Besides, do they have any special use for the trees here? Is my eldest brother also on this planet?"
“…”
Unexpectedly, Qin Fei's words turned out to be true. The next day, the mechas that were cutting down trees appeared again. They continued in the same position as yesterday. The third day was the same. Xi Yuan followed behind them as usual. He and Qin Fei had already planned that if they didn't find anything else after one more day, they would appear in front of them and let them help them go back. After Xi Yuan left, Qin Fei was still in the cave. He was using his mental power to operate the bone needle and sew and mend the seams on a bed sheet. Using mental power, the stitches were very fine, and there wouldn't be a big difference in the density of the stitches. Not long after, he had a pocket-sized shirt in his hand. He looked at it, and compared it carefully with a shirt next to him, and nodded with satisfaction. It was getting better and better. After practicing a few more times, the clothes he made would definitely not be inferior to those made by Xi Yuan. Here, he could use his mental power to do anything. On Earth, he also did the small stitches and mends on his clothes himself. His girlfriend's craftsmanship... ahem, it would be damaged if it was handed over to her. He was admiring his own achievements when suddenly there was a loud bang, which shook Qin Fei out of the cave.
He ran to the cave entrance and saw that the highest mountain had cracked into two. The culprit for this was a mecha. He took a light arrow that was more than ten meters long and chopped it down in the middle of the mountain, splitting the mountain into two and revealing the emerald green ore inside.
So cool! And that mecha looks so familiar!
As soon as Qin Fei appeared at the entrance of the cave, the owner of the mecha immediately found a heat source on the display screen. He turned his eyes to this side and took a casual look. As a result, he saw that familiar figure. It was!!!
Qin Fei was still looking at the mecha's "magnificent feat" of breaking through the mountain in shock, when he saw the mecha quickly turn around to face him, and then with a step, the mecha appeared in front of him.
The female insect on the control console quickly came out of the mecha and hugged Qin Fei: "Brother!"
Speak of the devil, and here he appears. The elder brother Qin Zhe, whom they had just talked about the day before, now appears in front of him.
“Brother?!”
