End of the World Cycle

It was already dark when he woke up. He left the space and it was extremely quiet outside. With mutant animals running rampant, the night was extremely dangerous. Xie Qin couldn't understand when his body had become so bad. Not only did he get tired easily, he was also always sleepy.

I wanted to have a good dinner, but I wandered around the space for half an hour without finding anything I wanted to eat, so I simply took out the processed crystal cores and sat in the space villa to eat three big bowls of food before stopping.

It was daytime in the space and the weather was nice. I wasn't sleepy so I went out for a walk after eating. I walked slowly along the stream formed by spiritual springs. Soon I felt a heavy pain in my lower abdomen. I began to feel weak and my head was dizzy. I lost consciousness and fell to the ground in an instant.

When Xie Qin woke up, he felt something was wrong. There was definitely something wrong with his body.

【Little Castle! Physical examination! 】

[Received! Beep beep beep, 2000 points deducted, full body check in progress~~~ Master! You! You!!!]

【What's wrong with me? 】

【You... you are pregnant! 】

[Pregnancy? Impossible. Didn't you say that condoms produced by the system are 100% effective in preventing pregnancy?]

[Yes! As long as you use it, it will be 100% effective! ]

Xie Qin was silent for a while, thought carefully for a long time, and then asked.

[How long have I been pregnant? ]

【Only 26 days.】

Sure enough, it was Qin Zhang's. She would never have thought of the two brothers of the Shui family. Although they were human beings before, their genitals were isolated after they turned into zombies. Even if no measures were taken, there would be no problem.

But she was sure that as for herself and Qin Zhang, she had reminded them every time and watched the measures taken. Why did this happen?

[Can the images from 26 days ago be retrieved? ]

[Yes, you will have to pay an extra 1,000 points for each additional day. ]

[Well, let me retrieve the intimate video of Qin Zhang and I from 26 days ago.]

【Master, please wait a moment. 】

Xie Qin watched the three-hour long video carefully and found a clue. When Qin Zhang took the utensil from the drawer for the second time, his eyes fell on it for a moment, and then his right hand holding the utensil used a very weak electricity to form a needle to pierce the packaging bag.

It was just a matter of a moment. At that time, I was feeling very comfortable being served. I half-closed my eyes and raised my head to catch my breath. When I looked down, Qin Zhang was already ready.

After that, it was a normal DOI. Xie Qin turned off the video, and the iPad in his hand was thrown out violently, hitting the wall and smashing into pieces.

Xie Qin pinched her nose and closed her eyes as she sat on the sofa, feeling extremely angry. The desire to kill Qin Zhang became stronger and stronger, and she shouldn't have been soft-hearted.

"Fuck!" The space was quiet, and Xie Qin's mad roar seemed to echo back.

She never thought she would give birth to a child, she would not be a good mother, she enjoyed ambiguity and sex, but that didn't mean she wanted a certain result.

After being reborn twice, she always had a feeling of unreality, the feeling that her feet were not touching the ground, so she seemed to be avoiding things all the time, avoiding her mother and brother, avoiding the people she knew in her previous life, afraid that everything was fake. She kept running away. In addition to advancing her mission, what was more important was that she was afraid of living with her loved ones day and night and discovering the loopholes of this world.

Precisely because she was afraid that this world was unreal, she indulged herself in enjoyment. This sudden appearance of a child was like a rope that pulled her from the suspended state to the ground, telling her truly and vividly the reality of this world.

Xie Qin's condition was very bad. Once she knew there was a embryo in her belly, she could feel it with her mental power. Although there was no fetal heartbeat yet, her strong mental power could feel the vitality in her abdomen.

It was an amazing, yet maddening feeling.

[Master, this child... has signs of threatened miscarriage. Do you need help preserving the fetus? ]

[Get rid of it.] Without hesitation, as soon as Xiaobao asked, Xie Qin couldn't wait to give this answer. She didn't want this child. No matter from which angle she thought about it, this child couldn't stay. She had more important things to do.

This child made her feel connected to the world, and made her understand that the people she was going to protect and the things she was going to do were real. She couldn't have this child.

[Master, although the system can help you with the surgery, there is no entity to take care of you. How about we wait until we return to the base to perform the surgery? ]

[Yes.] Xie Qin did not refuse. She did go back to the base. With Dr. Lan and her mother around, it would definitely be better than being alone.

Xie Qin set out at daybreak, intending to collect some high-level crystal cores as he went, but gave up because of this incident, and the armored vehicle sped straight towards the base.

On the third day's night, we arrived at the outskirts of the base. The outskirts of the base were very clean. Unlike the large number of mutated animals, plants and zombies we saw along the way, the three-kilometer radius of the base was cleaned very cleanly. As soon as we set foot near the base, our mental power could capture a large number of traps around it.

There is a sentry tower every kilometer, and the sentinels are all fourth-level psychics, wearing high-level protective clothing produced by the system. Further in are some buildings outside the base, where people live. They are not official residents of the base, but they are also within the protection range of the base, and there are quite a few people.

A small town has been formed, and it also has its own trade. I've heard from Zhou Lili before that these should be some of the survivors who did not have the funds to enter the base, or whose loyalty was not high enough, as well as the families of those who entered the mines from other bases.

It was estimated that there were about a thousand people, and most of them were ordinary people. Xie Qin's car was the same model as the base's armored vehicles. He was used to seeing the base's outbound mission convoys, so it didn't seem special. All the way to the base's gate was smooth.

When they arrived at the gate of the base, they saw that the originally planned parking lot on the left side outside the base was now replaced by ten two-story 3D-printed small buildings, all of which were inhabited by ordinary people. Xie Qin glanced at those people and saw that they looked familiar. He instantly remembered that they were the group of people who were immune to the zombie virus that Xu Nuo had rescued.

There was a bungalow on the side, with one or two people coming in and out from time to time. Through the glass window, three or four people in white coats could be seen inside. Xie Qin also thought that this should be a temporary data testing center.

Although the base has been upgraded and the protective shield area is much larger, the base has not been expanded. There are just a lot more people outside. The car stopped at the gate. Just like the last time I left, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Shui Limu standing by and waiting, and Xie Ran jogging towards this side.

These two people should have sensed that I was back a long time ago, but I was driving fast and just happened to meet them at the door.

"Sister!" Xie Ran shouted excitedly. Xie Qin, who had just got off the car, looked over in the direction of the voice and was startled. In fact, it had not been long since they last saw each other, but this time, Xie Ran had changed a lot.

At the age of less than fourteen, he is almost as tall as the standing tree next to him. In his previous life, my brother was always in a wheelchair, so I never imagined how tall he would be. Now that I have a real feel for it, I feel that this stent is really worth making.

Looking at my younger brother running to me, I also looked up at him, feeling relieved.

"How is it?" Xie Qin asked about the leg. The two healing psychics in the base, Doctor Lan and Shui Limu's mother Liu Xiangyi, have been treating Xie Ran since they were promoted to the third level.

She was really surprised to see her brother walking so briskly just now. Although he still had a brace on his leg, he was much better than before.

"Great! I can now stand independently without a brace. Dr. Lan said that if I continue like this, I will be able to walk on my own in less than three months."

"Yes. Let's give all the plant cores from now on to Doctor Lan and Aunt Liu so that they can upgrade as soon as possible."

"But sister, don't you also need plant crystal cores?"

"Those things are not very useful to me. Just keep the ones above level 5 for me. Let Teacher Zhou arrange the rest. Just focus on the healing system."

"Yes! I'll go talk to Teacher Zhou right away. When I left just now, I told mom that you were back. She said she had something delicious waiting for you at home and she had something important to tell you."

"Well, I'll go find Dr. Lan first and come back later."

"Okay, I'll go find Teacher Zhou!" After saying that, Xie Ran trotted away. Looking at his brother's back, he could tell that he was very happy. As long as he could run, he would be willing to run a few more steps even if there was a car.

After seeing Xie Ran leave, Shui Limu carefully walked to Xie Qin's side, squeezed Xie Qin's hand, but his eyes fell on Xie Qin's lower abdomen.

Shui Limu felt it. Although his psychic ability was only at the fourth level, it was an absolute domain ability. Within his effective range, all living things could not escape his eyes.

Xie Qin smiled bitterly and shook Shui Limu's hand in return.

"I'll go to the hospital first." After saying that, he wanted to let go.

"I'll accompany you." Shui Limu grabbed Xie Qin's hand which was about to be pulled away and said.

"Yeah." Xie Qin nodded, took a shared electric car at the gate of the base, and went to the hospital.

"Where's your brother?"

"Mine. Rat infestation. Go. Save people."

"Yeah." Indeed, when it comes to saving people, Shui Liqing's special ability is more useful.

We soon arrived at the hospital gate. The hospital is now well-equipped, and the first batch of medical students and nurses trained by the hospital have also started working. Although it is not as good as a regular tertiary hospital, the equipment is much better.

After stopping at the hospital entrance for a few seconds, Xie Qin placed her hand on her lower abdomen, and finally walked in.
