The days of Tartarus continue.

One year passed quickly.

The relationship between Lu Xue and Li Chengtian gradually warmed up, and after experiencing that incident, the two gradually revealed their feelings to each other.

Although Lu Xue could see that sometimes when Li Chengtian looked at her, there seemed to be another shadow in his eyes, she didn't mind.

After all, they have no way to leave this prison now.

Being able to have each other is the greatest happiness.

"......Well."

Lu Xue looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her and suddenly found it difficult to swallow.

Since that incident, her and Li Chengtian's food and other conditions have been greatly improved.

The old man named Li Zhiqiu even provided them with a special room and allowed them to live together.

The attitude is already very clear. As long as Li Chengtian cooperates, Li Zhiqiu will try his best to give him and Lu Xue the greatest convenience in Tartarus.

"What's wrong? Isn't this your favorite food?"

Li Chengtian looked at Lu Xue and asked.

Lu Xue frowned and looked at the table full of food. The aroma rushed into her nostrils. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up and rushed into the bathroom, and started to dry heave in front of the sink.

Li Chengtian immediately chased after her, patted her on the back and asked, "Are you sick? I'll take you to the medical room."

"No, not sick..."

Lu Xue gently waved her hand, then turned around and said to Li Chengtian with an unpleasant expression: "You... don't you really understand? Or do you not want to take responsibility?"

"What do you mean?" Li Chengtian frowned.

"You idiot..." Lu Xue gave Li Chengtian a cold look, then stood up with the help of the sink.

She turned around, leaned against the sink facing Li Chengtian, then raised her hand and gently stroked Li Chengtian's face, her eyes full of tenderness.

"I say... do you want a daughter or a son?"

......

From the day Li Chengtian found out that she was pregnant, his mood changed and he even started to greet people around him.

He even went to Li Zhiqiu's office to ask him what name to give his child.

Li Zhiqiu was also very happy. He even prepared a crib for them and asked several medical staff to give Lu Xue a physical examination every day to ensure that the baby in her body would be born safely.

"Chengtian."

Lu Xue was lying on the bed, her belly was getting bigger day by day.

"What's wrong?" Li Chengtian sat on the edge of the bed, holding the girl's hand tightly.

"Will our children...be like us, never able to leave here?"

Li Chengtian didn't say anything, he just held Lu Xue's hand.

Because he himself has no answer to this question, what is the future, he has no future.

So.......

If I could get Lu Xue and the child away from here...

"If the experiment goes well, I have no reason to refuse your request, Chengtian."

Li Zhiqiu still looked kind.

He personally poured tea for Li Chengtian and asked him to sit on the sofa.

"Right now, the child and your genes are somewhat incompatible, so our research is still at a standstill, but we have found a solution. In just three months, the experiment will have a breakthrough. I promise you that I will let your wife and child leave here by then."

Li Chengtian nodded.

Then Li Zhiqiu slowly handed him a cigarette and said, "I know this is actually wrong, but after examination, we have confirmed that your wife is pregnant with a girl. Congratulations, Chengtian."

Girls.

Li Chengtian has already begun to imagine how beautiful the child will be in the future.

She grew up in laughter like a normal child, without worries or sorrows. Even though she might never see her father again, she still had a mother.

There are so many people who love her.

Chang Yue and Lin Ze will definitely give the child a bright future.

"Can you help me pick a name for the baby, Doctor?"

Li Chengtian rarely smiled.

Li Zhiqiu nodded: "I have thought about it. Let's name your child Li Ling'an. May peace and tranquility always be with her."

"Doctor." Li Chengtian looked up at the professor and asked, "May I ask what your child's name is, or do you not have a name for him?"

This was the first time that Li Chengtian took the initiative to ask about the monster in the petri dish.

Li Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and lit a cigarette for himself.

"Yes... Of course, he is my pride, my most beloved child... His name is..."

"Li Muhan."

......

Lu Xue's due date fell on a rainy night.

Even in Tartarus, people were emotionally affected by the rainstorm.

Everyone was nervous, not only because of the weather, but also because today was a very important day.

The Tartarus experiment is about to enter a new phase, and success or failure depends on this.

"Chengtian......."

Lu Xue was lying on the hospital bed. She was already thin, and now she looked even weaker after becoming pregnant.

"Come back before the baby is born...ok?"

"Yes." Li Chengtian nodded heavily.

Last week, Li Chengtian asked Li Zhiqiu to tell Chang Yue by letter that he had a wife and child.

Li Zhiqiu was a little embarrassed, but finally agreed.

Two days later, Li Chengtian received a reply. Chang Yue told Li Chengtian that after Lu Xue and Li Ling'an left Tartarus, the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau would do everything in its power to protect them and let them live a stable life.

On the day the experiment started, Li Chengtian had almost no rest time as he kept cooperating with various experiments.

Li Zhiqiu stayed by his side all the time, and everyone seemed to be quite busy.

That day at 11pm.

While the experiment is ongoing.

Lu Xue’s due date is approaching.

But there was no nurse in her room.

In a trance, Lu Xue called Li Chengtian's name, she felt a little strange.

Then a nurse came in, coldly lifted the quilt and looked at her belly.

"It will be done soon, please wait a moment." After saying that, the nurse left the room.

That cold tone was very different from before.

This made Lu Xue feel something was wrong.

An instinctive awareness told her that this place might not be safe.

She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she propped herself up and slowly sat up. When she slowly moved to the door, she heard the conversation between the two nurses outside.

"We must ensure that the baby in her belly is delivered before 12 o'clock."

"I just looked at her belly. I guess we don't have enough time."

"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, we can just cut open her stomach and take the baby away."

"What about her?"

"She is no longer useful. Dr. Li said that her mission has already been..."

boom--

The vase hit the nurse hard on the head.

Lu Xue gritted her teeth, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Don't try to...take my...child away..."

"Lu Xue, what are you going to do? Have you forgotten that you..."

Lu Xue picked up the clock on the cabinet near the door and hit the nurse's head hard.

She just rode on the nurse's body and hit her hard again and again until the nurse's head was smashed to pieces.

"...No one can...take our child away..."

This series of actions made Lu Xue's body extremely exhausted, and she almost crawled out of the room.

Now that the experiment is at a critical moment, almost no one will care about a pregnant woman who can't even move easily.

Lu Xue found a pistol on the nurse's waist.

She held the gun like this and slowly dragged her body, trying to escape to a safe place.

"...Chengtian, Chengtian...I'm sorry..."

Soon sirens sounded and the guards began searching for Lu Xue.

At this moment, Lu Xue was huddled in a small, dark room filled with miscellaneous items.

She was sweating profusely and her stomach was trembling slightly. She could feel that the child might come into this world early because of the series of actions she had just taken.

"I'm sorry, An'an, I'm sorry...Mom will protect you, mom, mom won't let anyone hurt you..."

The delicate girl huddled in the darkness, holding the pistol tightly, alert to any movement outside the door while waiting for the birth of her child.

......

At the same time, in front of the petri dish in the core area.

That monster was very different from before.

Its body became more like that of a baby.

However, the claws, tail and deformed head have not yet completely transformed.

However, the umbilical cord connecting to its belly has slowly dried up.

Li Chengtian frowned. He had a bad feeling since a while ago and felt restless inside.

"Oh." Li Zhiqiu was leaning on a crutch. His health had been getting worse and worse recently. He slowly came to Li Chengtian and looked at the monster in the petri dish with him.

"His mother couldn't hold on any longer."

Li Zhiqiu said.

"You mean, his mother has been living in the rift all this time."

Li Chengtian found it hard to believe that this was such an inhumane act, and the person involved was his wife. How could he have the heart to do this?

"Humanity's progress always requires pioneers. Chengtian, my wife is a pioneer, and so am I, so are you, and your children, your wife...are also pioneers."

Li Chengtian slowly turned around and looked at Li Zhiqiu: "What did you say?"

"...Chengtian, the experiment has already begun and cannot be reversed."

......

In the dark room, the girl was enduring great pain. Her child was being born. She couldn't even make a sound. She could only desperately tear off her clothes, put them under her body, and then bite her arm tightly.

The bloody smell gradually filled the room.

Her attention should not only be on the children, but also on the footsteps of people coming and going outside.

Finally, her child was born, but Lu Xue forgot one thing.

That's the first thing a newborn baby learns...

It's crying.

The crying of the child gradually extinguished the girl's inner hope.

Then her expression gradually became peaceful.

She held the child in her arms, humming a lullaby, and then bang—

The door to the storeroom was smashed open.

The guards pointed their guns at Lu Xue.

boom--

Lu Xue gently held the child in one hand and with the other, held the pistol and shot at the guard at the door.

"Don't use the gun!" a man's voice yelled. "Don't hurt the baby!"

Then they switched to hunting harpoons, and after the girl had used up all her bullets, they approached him step by step.

"......An An, mom and dad can't grow up with you, but you don't have to worry, this world will always be full of hope......" Lu Xue gently put down the pistol, and then held the child in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, don't cry... You will always be the most beloved child of daddy and mommy... If you miss mommy in the future... Just look up to the sky, mommy..."

In order not to hurt the child, the guards carefully aimed the harpoon at Lu Xue's head, limbs and neck.

"Mom will always protect you, so take a good sleep now, take a good sleep before the dawn comes, good night, little star..."

"Do it."
