Unexpectedly, within two minutes, the noise outside died down.
These people have been hiding in the base for so long and haven't shown up, but now they can't hold back anymore.
After a while, the noise completely died down, and Pei Xiqing finally turned his attention back to Zhang Tian.
Before she could say a few words to Zhang Tian, she was picked up by Duan Xiaolin.
"Wait a minute, Sister Tian has something to talk to me about..."
She was held horizontally by the man and placed on the desk behind him. From here, one could see the street outside. Through the transparent glass, people passing by outside could see them at a glance.
There aren't many people at the base right now, but there's still some people there.
She placed her palm lightly on his chest. "What are you doing? Why are you getting so close to me all of a sudden? What do you want to say?"
Duan Xiaolin lifted the hair from her chest and said, "Wait until they get over there, and then we can settle down."
Pei Xiqing thought he was going to say something and couldn't help but smile: "Isn't it peaceful enough now? I don't really want to go out, and you have to stay here to guard the door related to the black market. If we continue to stay here, we will always have peace and tranquility."
Duan Xiaolin lowered his head and seemed to sigh softly.
She thought she was wrong.
Turning her head, she pressed the man against her neck.
"What's the matter?"
It feels like Duan Xiaolin seems to have something on his mind.
Ever since she became pregnant, he was indifferent to the child, but was very strict with her. He personally supervised her sleep, meals, nutritional supplements, and even physical examinations and blood X antibody tests, and repeatedly confirmed her physical condition with Qiu Chao.
It is said that women are more prone to anxiety and depression after pregnancy, but between her and Duan Xiaolin, he seems to be the one who is anxious.
She ate and drank as usual as she did in her youth. Without all those messy things and the intrigues among the people at the base, her life was even more comfortable than before, especially when Ma Mengxiang cooked, the food was delicious.
Over the past few months, the base has had a lot of problems, and the people in charge here are all half-baked. If Duan Xiaolin hadn't helped, the internal balance of the base would have been lost and would have fallen apart long ago.
In addition, Franlon was far away, and many things would be transmitted through signals every day, waiting for him to deal with.
Being away from the headquarters and those bases with strict rules, the responsibilities on him became even greater.
Plus, she was pregnant, so he almost gave up 90% of his chances to go out, and every time he would appear where she saw him.
Pei Xiqing keenly noticed that his mood was a little off, so she leaned over and comforted him softly, "Brother Duan, no matter what happens, we have to bear it together, and the same goes for the child. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Raising children means there is no motivation without pressure," he said.
"Are you under too much pressure, or are you just unmotivated?"
"There is pressure, but there is also motivation," he said, "It's all because of you."
"Did headquarters come looking for you again? What's the situation there?"
"Two-thirds of the people have been infected by the parasite. That place is already a dead city."
"Hey..." The base should have thought of this when it received that very problematic communication call.
If the base hadn't fallen, how could they have handed over such important communications to someone who had already been parasitized by the parasite?
Or maybe the parasite is too cunning, able to sneak under the noses of so many people at the headquarters, fish in troubled waters, pass off a fake as real, and sneak into the communications department without being discovered by so many people at the headquarters.
This is the best-case scenario.
The worst-case scenario, with a very high probability, is that the base has been completely destroyed, the parasite has infested the human body and invaded the brain cells, and a tragedy has occurred, with few survivors left in the communications department or even the entire base.
"So, they're asking for help, and they want you to come over?"
"Um."
"Could you please just leave them alone?"
This was the first time Pei Xiqing was so impulsive and hated that group of people so much.
"good."
Unexpectedly, he answered very quickly.
Pei Xiqing poked him: "Are you serious? Can you really just ignore that?"
"I didn't intend to care since I came here."
"Um?"
"When you want to, we'll go directly to the Franlon base."
"Then..." Before he could finish his sentence, more than a dozen calls came in in an instant.
It looks like they are in a hurry.
Not only did Duan Xiaolin ignore him, he also directly unplugged the signal receiver from the communication equipment.
The item fell beside her. Pei Xiqing held the small metal triangle and glanced at the light source. "Brother Duan, it must be someone from headquarters calling."
"Um."
"You've only just come to me now. How could you not have imagined this would happen when everyone else had already fled? How could you not have said a word when you've taken Franlun and a bunch of the old, weak, and disabled to your own devices?"
She scoffed and threw the piece of metal away.
They are refused assistance here.
The only sound in the office was the ticking of running instruments.
Pei Xiqing suddenly came closer and said, "Brother Duan, those things at headquarters are not worth your worrying about. Live for me and the baby from now on."
She looked at the man's deep face and said, "Why don't we go to a place where no one knows where, away from everything, while it's still early?"
Duan Xiaolin agreed.
She turned her head and stared at the man's face silently, feeling distressed yet wanting to get closer.
I couldn't help but raise my head and kissed the corner of his lips lightly.
Duan Xiaolin sensed her emotions, pulled her back, held the back of her head, and pressed the corner of her lips hard.
It's like a mark that will last a lifetime.
"I'm always willing to run away with you."
…
The base was the most obvious choice. Natural disasters continued outside, so Pei Xiqing and Duan Xiaolin's "escape" plan had to be postponed.
Time is like ink. Once it is stained, it will spread quickly like water stains.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Pei Xiqing felt even more uncomfortable after she revealed her pregnancy.
Too lazy to go out all day.
If Ma Mengxiang didn't have new tricks every day, she would be too lazy to even move, let alone go out.
Ma Mengxiang pulled her, "Come on, come with me to see the new seeds I developed. They've already bloomed! They look so beautiful!"
Pei Xiqing supported her: "Okay."
"But please go slower. I'm afraid you'll fall. I was in a hurry and didn't let you go really fast."
"I know." She smiled, "Hurry up and lead the way."
Ma Mengxiang took her to the base and passed through it several times.
After walking for almost an hour, she said she hadn't arrived yet.
Pei Xiqing noticed something and stopped to say, "What about the flowers? Could it be that they have withered because we were a little late?"
Ma Mengxiang scratched her head: "Hahaha... I've been looking for it too, but I'm a little lost. I don't know if I remembered it wrongly. Let's go to the next street and have a look. I think it's over there."
As he said this, he was about to take her there.
Pei Xiqing let go and held her back: "You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
"How is that possible? I really did grow flowers, and they can bloom right here at the base! They don't even need sunlight!"
"Really?"
"Really?"
Pei Xiqing stared at her for a few seconds.
Ma Mengxiang was defeated instantly.
