End of the World Cycle

After a while, Xu Nuo knocked on the door.

"Sister, Xiangxiang wants to invite you to the base for dinner. Are you going?"

"Xiang Xiang?" Xie Qin wondered. If nothing unexpected happened, this Lan Xiangxiang should be several years older than Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo was a very polite child, so Xie Qin was a little surprised to hear him speak like that.

With a puzzled look, he turned his head to look at Lan Xiangxiang, who was still standing beside him, supporting her waist and holding her belly.

"Hello, sister. Long time no see." Lan Xiangxiang's voice was very soft, and even sounded timid, but it made Xie Qin feel very uncomfortable.

"Hello." Xie Qin nodded calmly, then his eyes fell on Lan Xiangxiang's belly.

"Are you pregnant?" Xie Qin asked.

"Well, only two months." Lan Xiangxiang said shyly with her head lowered.

Although Xie Qin had little practical experience, she had read a lot of books and had some common sense. Some people didn't even know that they were two months pregnant, let alone having a slight bulge like Lan Xiangxiang had now.

It doesn't look like two months, but more like four or five months, but it doesn't rule out that this person is fat. But Xie Qin looked at Xu Nuo with a silly look on his face and couldn't help but frowned.

"Well, congratulations. I'll be there in a bit. I promise you'll stay. I still need to explain to you the relocation of your temporary base."

"Okay. Xiangxiang, go back and get ready. We'll be here in a bit."

"it is good."

After Lan Xiangxiang left, Xu Nuo got into Xie Qin's RV. After the door was closed, Xie Qin didn't say anything, and Xu Nuo didn't dare to speak either. He could feel that Xie Qin's mood was a little low.

Xie Qin didn't speak until his mental power sensed that Lan Xiangxiang had gone far away.

"your child?"

"Yeah." Xu Nuo pursed his lips and nodded.

"You? You!! How old are you?"

"It's not what you think. It's all accidents."

"Accident? How could there be any accident in this matter?"

"Two months ago, we heard that there was a third-level mutant plant in Jianghuang Mountain, so we went to Jianghuang Mountain to hunt for crystal cores. But when we got there, we found a patch of male grass next to the third-level plant. I didn't know the function of that grass, and I got hurt when I was trying to get the crystal core. As a result, I... fainted."

"so what?"

"When I woke up, Xiangxiang and I had already done everything in the tent."

"Just you and her on the mission?"

"No, there were four of us. After I fainted, the other two went to find help."

"You're the only one who fainted among the four of us. Was it difficult to carry you away?"

"Xiangxiang said that she was afraid of danger and accidents on the road, so she took me and hid me somewhere where we were."

Hearing this, Xie Qin almost slapped Xu Nuo on the head.

"What do you think is better, three people protecting you and taking you back down the mountain, or leaving an ordinary woman without superpowers to take care of your safety on the mountain?"

Xu Nuo opened his mouth but in the end, he said nothing. He was young and had never thought about the relationship between men and women, but when he thought he had bullied someone, his upbringing forced him to take responsibility.

Lan Xiangxiang was regarded as one of his own, especially after learning that she was pregnant not long ago, this feeling became even stronger.

"Do your parents and grandma know about this?"

Xu Nuo shook his head.

"I don't know. I wanted to bring her to meet my parents this time, but Xiangxiang refused. She was afraid of being embarrassed. She said that she was much older than me and was afraid that my parents would not accept her. She wanted to wait until the child was born and had contact with our family before meeting my family. This way, they would be more likely to accept her."

“Do you have a doctor on your team?”

"No, there is only one teammate who used to be a nurse in the emergency department who can help us treat the wounds."

"Then it's not among the people you rescued?"

Xu Nuo shook his head.

Xie Qin sighed. This was almost certain. This silly brother must have been deceived.

Xie Qin didn't say anything else. She just said that she wanted to eat early as she had to go back to Pangu Base. She also asked Xu Nuo and the others to get ready and set off for Wuliang Base. She specifically asked Xu Nuo to take Lan Xiangxiang to see her grandmother as soon as possible after arriving.

At mealtime, there were many dishes on the big round table in a tidy house, but they were basically convenience foods. There were only two fresh dishes, one was stir-fried cabbage and the other was stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

The rest were platters of instant hotpot, a plate of sliced ​​luncheon meat, thin slices of bacon that looked a bit dark but smelled delicious, a small bowl of braised chicken legs that had obviously been taken out of a vacuum package, and a bowl of canned yellow peaches.

The food smelled very fragrant, but Xie Qin really had no appetite. He ate a few vegetables and focused all his attention on Lan Xiangxiang's stomach. However, Xie Qin did not look at it with his eyes, but just used his mental power to quietly feel it.

After a careful inspection, she found a clue. Lan Xiangxiang was an ordinary person, but she had a weak wind energy in her stomach.

If both parents are not supernatural beings, it is impossible for them to give birth to a baby with supernatural powers. Just with this discovery, Xie Qin has concluded that Lan Xiangxiang has plotted against Xu Nuo.

"Are there many psychics in your base?"

"not much."

"Are there any rare superpowers?"

"No." Xu Nuo shook his head.

Xie Qin didn't ask any more questions. After dinner, the Shui brothers sent Xie Qin back to the base. In addition to asking them to convey their meaning, they also asked Shui Limu to pay more attention to Lan Xiangxiang.

The three of them separated one kilometer outside the base. After returning to the base, Qin Zhang had not returned yet. He raised his hand to look at the watch and it was already 6:30 in the afternoon.

Logically, the mutant animals are mutating like crazy now, and the troops that are out will not come back so late. Xie Qin closed the door and returned to his own space villa. He took a bath with the spiritual spring water. The warm water wrapped around his whole body, which was extremely comfortable. He was drowsy and a little sleepy.

Just as I was about to take a nap, there was a knock on the bathroom door outside.

Xie Qin put on a bathrobe, left the space, responded softly, and opened the bathroom door. As expected, Qin Zhang was back.

There was just a file bag in his hand. He looked at me excitedly and then handed the bag to me.

Xie Qin took the file bag, walked to the desk and casually opened it to read. Qin Zhang habitually picked up the messy clothes that Xie Qin had taken off on the ground, took the clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash the underwear by hand first.

Qin Zhang was stunned for a moment when he entered the bathroom. He looked at the clean bathroom, then turned around to look at Xie Qin who was sitting in front of the desk. There were still water droplets hanging on the ends of her hair and a thin layer of mist on her face.

But in the bathroom, there was no sign of bathing. The floor and walls were all dry. The shower gel that Xie Qin usually used was still in the place where she had placed it, facing forty-five degrees to the left, and placed neatly.

Xie Qin took a shower, but definitely not in this bathroom. Qin Zhang took a deep breath, suppressed his curiosity, silently took out the small basin under the sink, and carefully washed Xie Qin's clothes.

Xie Qin, who had just opened the file bag, had his eyes widened instantly! All his attention was drawn to the title at the top of the file.

Marriage application report!!!

He looked at the report, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the report again to make sure he had read it correctly. He turned back to look at Qin Zhang who was washing clothes, and then his eyes fell on the beginning below.

Applicant: Qin Zhang-Guo Qinling

Somehow, seeing that his name was not on the list, Xie Qin felt relieved. It seemed that the plan for Qin Zhang had to be accelerated. He couldn't sacrifice himself for the sake of pleasure.

Although this person is useful, she doesn't seem to be the person in charge. After all, every time I try my best to cooperate with him, so that he can enjoy himself to the fullest. No one loses, and Qin Zhang even makes more money. This way, my sense of guilt will be less. It's just a marriage~~ Although the binding force of these documents and public announcements is not very effective now.

But I grew up in a civilized society with constraints, and I still recognize the official certificate in my heart. I have to complete the task quickly, distance myself from it, and focus on my career!
