The book continues from the previous chapter.

The woman picked up the axe, then rubbed it against her pajamas and started peeling apples.

"I haven't eaten such a sweet apple in a long time."

The woman chewed the fruit happily and explained to the two people opposite her, "I'm not wasting food. I'm just worried that the pesticide residue on the peel will harm my baby."

"...That makes sense." Chu Wei relaxed his tense body slightly.

After entering the room, the woman turned off the flashlight. At this moment, in the room with closed curtains, only Zhong Qiji's small flashlight was emitting a faint light.

Chu Wei's right hand hung outside the armrest of the chair, so that he could pick up the steel pipe on the wall at any time, and then continue to ask about the truth he wanted to know.

"Zhong Qiji said that maybe because of cancer, he wouldn't attract zombies. What about you?"

"You two are young, so just call me Sister Tian." The woman chewed an apple and said, "I don't know why I am like this, but I am in good health."

Zhong Qiji nodded, "It is impossible for the patient to take the risk of getting pregnant."

So cancer can be ruled out...

No, not necessarily!

"Where is your child?" Chu Wei thought of the child in Sister Tian's belly.

He had never seen a pregnant woman after the apocalypse. It might be because too many people died and too few people were left for him to meet, but he still had doubts.

A pregnant woman carrying a child is equivalent to two living people, yet zombies are not attracted to her?

Speaking of the child, Sister Tian stopped eating her apple and touched her belly lovingly. "I am almost due to give birth before the end of the world, and the test results are all normal."

Talking about the first few days of the apocalypse, she frowned again with worry, "But that night I went out for a walk, and just as I walked to the door of the obstetrics building, I saw the red moon in the sky. Then I fainted, and when I woke up the next day, the hospital had turned into purgatory."

"I thought something might happen to the child, but luckily everything is fine."

"After that, I went out a few times to look for other survivors, but apart from Xiao Zhong, I didn't meet anyone else. It was also at that time that I discovered that zombies would not attack me."

"Because my due date was during those days, after I had stockpiled enough daily necessities for a while, I settled down here until I met you two."

There are a lot of things piled up in the corner of this office, most of them are baby supplies, and there is also a pink and blue baby stroller. It can be seen that Sister Tian is full of anticipation for the birth of her child.

But both men present noticed something was wrong.

Even if the due date is postponed, it can't be postponed for a month. And looking at Sister Tian's appearance, she doesn't have the bloated figure and face of a pregnant woman. It's as if her blood and energy have been drained.

Chu Wei's right hand slowly touched the steel pipe beside him, "This is very wrong."

Zhong Qiji agreed, "Sister Tian, ​​don't you have any signs of giving birth these days? The timing is wrong."

"It's a little strange."

Sister Tian touched her motionless stomach through her plush pajamas and started to gnaw on the apple that was about to oxidize.

She didn't take it too seriously and said, "Maybe the baby is too well behaved and is being considerate of me as a mother."

It was a natural thing, and it had nothing to do with being well behaved. Chu Wei didn't understand, "Is the child really still alive?"

Sister Tian was annoyed by this curse-like question, "How can you talk like that!"

Zhong Qiji saw that the situation was not good, and immediately spoke up to smooth things over, "Let's talk in a nice way..."

"On the night of the apocalypse, everyone who had seen the red moon turned into zombies, without exception."

Chu Wei didn't waste any words and directly produced evidence, "You just said that you fainted the night you saw the red moon in the sky, but you woke up unharmed and became immune to zombie attacks."

there is only one truth!

"The child in your belly absorbed the mutation brought by the red moon on your behalf that day and turned into a zombie in your belly. However, because it was too small to successfully mutate, it became a mutated stillborn fetus. Zombies will not attack their own kind, so they also ignored you, the mother with the same smell."

Sister Tian was stunned by this seemingly reasonable reasoning. She lowered her eyes, touched her belly and did not speak for a long time.

"How can you solve the case with just a few words!" Zhong Qiji knew that maternal love would prompt a woman to do anything for her child. He was afraid that he would be chopped along with Chu Wei, so he quickly expressed the opposite opinion.

"Maybe pregnant women emit some hormones. Zombies are sensitive to smells, so they don't attack Sister Tian and her child!"

Chu Wei held the steel pipe, ready for battle, but he didn't show any sign of giving in. "If a normal baby is in the mother's belly, it will move. Ms. Tian, ​​can you feel it?"

Why are you still talking! If we get angry again, we will suffer the consequences! Zhong Qiji was very anxious.

The hands of the clock on the office wall moved forward one by one, and the slight ticking sound could be heard clearly in the quiet room.

About two minutes passed.

Sister Tian raised her head, her eyes reddened. "After that night, the baby did become very quiet. I just thought..."

She couldn't go on.

In fact, I had a premonition, but I just didn't want to believe it.

"If only I hadn't gone out for a walk that day." Sister Tian deeply regretted her decision that day.

She discovered her husband was cheating on her in the early stages of her pregnancy, and her in-laws helped to conceal the matter, so she resolutely decided to divorce with her child. Because her family despised her for thinking divorce was shameful, she had no choice but to live in a rented house while pregnant.

As her due date approached, she was admitted to the hospital ward and was looking forward to the birth of her only relative in the world, but now, she has lost even her only relative.

“Even if you didn’t go out, you might have been scared into premature birth the next day by the zombies everywhere, and then you and your baby would have been eaten by the zombies.” Chu Wei comforted the sad woman who had lost her child.

Sister Tian: "..."

Zhong Qiji: “…”

The words may be rough, but the truth is there, but this is a bit too direct!

Sister Tian, ​​who was 'comforted' to the point of having a heart attack, took a deep breath and told her about the abnormality she had discovered. "In fact, when I looked in the mirror these two days, I found that I had lost a lot of weight. There was only a layer of skin left on my belly, and under the skin... my baby was motionless, in a very stiff position, and felt very hard, without any temperature."

The baby was gone a long time ago, but she just didn't want to believe it.

"Then, what should we do?" Zhong Qiji became nervous.

Zhong Qiji looked at Chu Wei, and Sister Tian also looked at Chu Wei, waiting for this seemingly reliable man to come up with an idea.

Chu Wei thought about it seriously, "It looks like the dead fetus is consuming Sister Tian's body. It's best to take it out as soon as possible. If it's too late, Sister Tian won't be able to hold on."

After thinking about it, this seemed to be the best way, but Zhong Qiji hesitated and raised his hand.

Chu Wei: "Speak."

Zhong Qiji swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't know how to perform a caesarean section. Can you do it, brother?"
