The dark age of mankind is coming

The second year of the Xinyuan era

Two years have passed since their marriage. An Ning's belly, which was originally as flat as a blank painting, now seems to be gently touched by a mysterious and gentle force, as if an invisible hand is carefully caressing it.

As time slowly passed, the lower abdomen began to undergo subtle changes, gradually bulging, and its shape was just like a peerless work of art carefully carved by the craftsman of nature with the most exquisite skills.

Although the arc is extremely subtle, if you observe carefully, you can feel endless vitality surging in it, as if the fire of hope is burning silently in it.

This seemingly insignificant little bulge actually went through a long period of nine and a half months. It was like a precious seed sleeping in the depths of endless darkness. In the warm and comfortable mother's womb, this wonderful cradle, it quietly absorbed every bit of nutrients from the mother's body and waited for the sacred moment of breaking out of the cocoon with unimaginable patience.

Xuanyuan Zunqi gently supported An Ning, and they strolled together on the beautiful island.

The sea breeze blew softly, bringing with it the unique salty and humid scent of the sea, ruffling the two people's clothes, causing them to fly and intertwine in the air, as if performing a romantic dance that belonged only to the two of them.

The fluttering corners of their clothes seemed to be telling of the deep affection between them, witnessing every detail of this special period.

An Ning closed her eyes slightly, a happy smile on her face, feeling the caress of the breeze and the rhythm of the little life in her belly.

Xuanyuan Zunqi protected her tightly, his eyes full of concern and love.

"Hmph." An Ning gently held her stomach, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but let out a dull hum.

Xuanyuan Zunqi stopped and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are they being dishonest again?" He stared at An Ning, his eyes full of concern and worry.

An Ning took a deep breath and tried to remain calm and said, "No, I might be giving birth."

Although her voice was very soft, it sounded like a bolt from the blue in Xuanyuan Zunqi's ears.

When Xuanyuan Zunqi heard An Ning say that she might be giving birth, his heart suddenly became panicked. His mind went blank and everything in front of him became blurry.

His face turned extremely pale in an instant, like a leaf hit by frost, without a trace of blood. The paleness seemed to come from his bone marrow.

Fine beads of cold sweat kept oozing out on his forehead. Each bead of sweat was crystal clear, like precious pearls. They slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground, making crisp sounds, as if telling of his inner fear and anxiety.

His hands were shaking unconsciously, and he didn't know what to do. He just held An Ning's hand tightly, as if only this could give her some comfort and courage.

He stood there blankly, looking at An Ning at a loss, muttering to himself: "Is...she going to give birth?"

An Ning looked at him, who was even more flustered than herself. She felt a warm feeling in her heart at first, and then she felt a little funny.

She bit her lips tightly, trying not to let out a painful groan. The tidal-like pain hit her abdomen wave after wave, and each time it seemed to break her will. She gently stroked his cheek with her trembling hands and continued to comfort him in the gentlest tone possible: "Don't worry, I'm fine, we can go home soon, and let the doctor help me."

After hearing her words, Xuanyuan Zunqi seemed to have gained strength. He suddenly picked up An Ning and ran back as fast as if he was on a hot wheel.

Although he was running at an incredibly fast speed, his hand holding An Ning remained as firm as ever, like a rock, and did not let An Ning feel the slightest bit of bumps.

While running frantically, he kept repeating words to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will be home soon." Those words seemed to be comforting An Ning as well as himself.

An Ning endured the unbearable pain and nodded slightly.

However, just as they entered the door of the house, the sudden water breaking made An Ning's expression pale and painful in an instant.

Feeling the warm and moist touch on his arm, Xuanyuan Zunqi felt like he was struck by lightning, and his whole body froze in front of the door.

At this moment, in the relatively quiet room, Xuanyuan's mother's auditory nerves, as sharp as radar, accurately captured the extremely subtle sounds faintly coming from outside.

Her heart suddenly tightened, and her feet immediately walked out of the room quickly as if they were equipped with springs.

When she saw the scene in front of her, a trace of anger suddenly flashed in her eyes. She glared at her son who seemed at a loss at the moment. However, she controlled her anger for fear of scaring An Ning, and lowered her voice and shouted, "Why are you still standing here? Take An Ning to the delivery room quickly. I'll go call Tian Bo and the others over."

After An Ning became pregnant, Xuanyuan Zunqi's mother was worried that he would not be able to take good care of An Ning, so after obtaining their consent, she moved out of the base in the late stage of An Ning's pregnancy and lived in the paradise on the sea with the couple in order to better take care of An Ning.

As for Tian Bo and others, since they learned that An Ning was pregnant, the joy in their hearts was simply indescribable.

Although An Ning left Team Hope, in everyone's hearts, she will always be their captain.

Since An Ning became pregnant, they not only came to the island regularly every month, but also carefully and meticulously performed various comprehensive prenatal checkups on An Ning, for fear of missing any details that might affect the health of the fetus.

Especially when the pregnancy and delivery period is approaching, they are highly vigilant and come to the island early with professional medical staff to live there, ready to deal with various emergencies that may arise at any time to ensure a peaceful delivery.

Xuanyuan Zunqi was like a wooden man who had lost his soul, in a daze. Every movement seemed to be driven by some mysterious force. He carefully and gently carried An Ning into the delivery room that had been carefully prepared.

Not long after the two stepped into the delivery room, hurried footsteps were heard coming closer and closer. The medical staff rushed to the delivery room like well-trained soldiers.

They began to conduct a meticulous examination of An Ning, not missing any detail.

The brows that were slightly furrowed when he came here gradually relaxed, "Don't worry, Captain An is fine, everything is normal."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Zunqi's heart finally settled down a little, but he was still as nervous as a taut string. He stayed close to An Ning and didn't dare to leave even for a moment.

His eyes were always fixed on An Ning, full of concern and care, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.

As time passed, seemingly endlessly, the pangs of peace became more frequent, like waves crashing against the rocks on the shore, relentless and fierce.

Her face became like the withered petals, gradually becoming paler and paler, without a trace of blood.

Xuanyuan Zunqi felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. Seeing her in so much pain, the heartache surged like a tide. He wished he could have magical powers to bear all the pain for her.

An Ning tried her best and sweat soaked her forehead. Xuanyuan Zunqi was anxious and held An Ning's hand tightly, trying to give her strength.

"Ah..." Suddenly, An Ning's cry broke the tense atmosphere, and Xuanyuan Zunqi's heart instantly rose to his throat.

"Hurry, the baby is coming out!" the doctor shouted.

"Wow..." Finally, a clear cry echoed throughout the delivery room.

"It's a boy!" After the doctor took care of the newborn, he handed him to Xuanyuan Zunqi.

Xuanyuan Zunqi looked at this cute little guy, his heart filled with joy and emotion.

He bent down and kissed An Ning's forehead, and said with a choked voice, "Thank you for your hard work, wife." His tearful eyes were filled with love and gratitude.

Although An Ning was exhausted after giving birth, her face was filled with a happy smile.

In this new era, they welcomed new life and new hope.
