Chapter 518: Hunger

"Now that the baby is about to be born, I have to go out and find some food to nourish you, otherwise you will have a problem feeding the child's milk. Meng Jian said to Zhou Yan.

"But...... I'm scared. Zhou Yan looked at Meng Jian with some uneasiness, she no longer had the difference between the previous Meng Jian and the current Meng Conversion, and she would feel safe with him.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go out now, I'll be back in the evening at the latest, it won't be long. According to me, if someone tries to break into the house, you should hide in the basement of the yard, and before you dodge in, pull down the mechanism I have set, and the snow falling on it will block the passage between the house and the basement of the yard, and you will be safe in the basement for the time being. I connected the exhaust ducts in the basement to the top of the snow with waste water pipes, and if the air below is so bad that you breathe into the ducts, you'll be able to hold out until I get back. Meng Jian said to Zhou Yan.

"What if...... What's the danger out there?" Zhou Yan still had a worried expression, Meng Jian had been lying on the bed for so long, she had survived such a difficult few months, but her will had also been supported to the limit, and now she was more and more afraid of gaining and losing.

"Rest assured, nothing is dangerous to me, and I am the real danger to those who try to be dangerous to me. Meng Jian had an indifferent look on his face.

After going through so many things and often walking on the edge of life and death, now he no longer knows what fear and danger are.

In the beginning, in the face of those difficult tasks, he relied on the enthusiasm of his youth to face them. Later, doing tasks became one of his joys of life, and now. He began to fight for his fate, trying to find out what forces were behind the scenes and find out the truth behind this qiē through his own efforts.

"What if I'm going to give birth?" Zhou Yan asked Meng Jian again.

"Probably not yet, at least not today, although I don't know much about women having children, but if you are about to give birth, your stomach will hurt. Meng Jian thought about it and replied to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan didn't say anything more. She was well aware of the predicament the two of them were facing, and in the past few months, she had eaten almost all the food that her father had stored in the basement. And those things can only fill the stomach, there is really no nutrition, after the child is born, it will definitely not be good to live if it does not replenish nutrition in time.

So. Meng Jian had to get out.

The question is...... She was a little worried about Meng Convert's out. Will he never come back, it's one thing to be in danger, and besides, what responsibility does he have to take care of her? Listen to him, in his world, he and she are just strangers on the one side, and there is no husband and wife relationship in this world at all.

But she couldn't say it to him, for she had been hostile to him before.

"I found two old clockwork watches from those piles of debris, and they were both still walking. I'm right with you, it's about eight o'clock in the morning. If I find food, I'll be back at noon, and at the latest before dark, before five o'clock in the afternoon. Meng Wei handed over an old watch to Zhou Yan, and then climbed over the railing of the second-floor platform and walked into the snow.

After Meng Jian left, Zhou Yan returned to the house as Meng Jian said and closed the door.

……

Several months of continuous heavy snowfall have buried almost the entire town of Jinli below the snow surface.

Yiqiē is indeed as Meng guessed, for some reason...... Maybe it's because of him that the ground of the Zhou family's house was raised, so it was not buried, and then only buildings with more than four or five floors will be partially exposed above the snow.

However, due to some rigid regulations of the local government ~ government, the townspeople's buildings can only be built with a maximum of three floors, and the height of each floor is limited, and it is not allowed to build more than four floors, so most of the houses in the low-lying places are buried under the snow at the moment.

One can imagine how desperate the people in those houses would be when the houses were completely buried by the blizzard and the blizzard continued...... Their final fate is definitely suffocation, if not freezing and starvation.

After an hour's trek through the snow, Meng came to what was probably the center of the town, where several tall old buildings were still exposed above the snow.

Meng Jian chiseled open the roof of a building with an axe, went down to the building with the help of ropes and other tools, and searched around inside.

After entering, Meng Jian couldn't help but feel happy in his heart...... It seems to be a restaurant, so I guess it's going to store some food, right?

However, after going in and searching for a long time, Meng Jian was extremely disappointed.

The place had apparently been searched, and there was no food left in it, but there were a few corpses, lying on the ground, and the hideous wounds seemed to tell of the tragedy that had happened.

There is a high concentration of people living in the center of the town, and I think it was in the days when the snow storm began, and some people thought that there might be food in the restaurant, so they rushed here in the snow to get some food back, and the result was ...... People fought over food......

If it weren't for the constant blizzard separating people from each other, Meng Jian estimated that there would not even be a corpse left in this restaurant.

Hunger, the most terrifying primordial motivation, can turn people into beasts.

The qiē that he discovered made Meng Jian a little frustrated.

If this is the case, there is a good chance that there will be no food everywhere in the town center.

It is conceivable that when the blizzard has not stopped for several days, everyone begins to face the challenge of hunger, driven by the hunger instinct, they will go out to find food regardless of qiē, and the snow on those days is not deep enough to prevent people from going out to various places to find food.

Then places like supermarkets, restaurants, food stores, etc., must be the most searched places, and nothing is likely to stay.

Sure enough, the search behind was indeed as Meng Jian expected, and the few buildings that could be entered had already been searched completely, and there was nothing left.

This kind of search is very time-consuming, and when Meng Jian climbed out of a building, he suddenly found that the sun was about to set, and the sky was dark.

The sun is already very weak, and when the sun goes down, it becomes very cold outside, and staying on the snowy ground for a while will quickly freeze people.

Meng Jian came down all day and found nothing.

The result is really desperate.

Don't...... This time, the task is to survive in the last days?

If that's the case, he'll have to do whatever it takes.

……

Ever since Meng Wei left, Zhou Yan had been watching from the window in the direction he had left.

Soon after Meng left, her stomach began to hurt.

It was a slight pain, and then it hurt every ten minutes, and the pain was like the feeling of the lower abdomen falling, similar to the previous big aunt

Zhou Yan's heart began to become extremely panicked.

It's not going to be born, is it?

For modern people, giving birth to a child is something that should be solved in the hospital.

The question is, where are the hospitals now?

If you don't go to the hospital, what if you have a difficult birth?

Will it die?

As women who give birth to a child for the first time, they will not be as described in the TV novel, they can pay a qiē for the child in their womb, and even when the operation is dangerous, the doctor asks the babysher to protect the child, and almost all women will ask the babysitter.

The children who have not yet been born have never gotten along, where does the mother's love come from?

Therefore, what Zhou Yan thought about the most at this time was whether she would have a difficult birth and die because of it.

If...... It would be nice if Meng Jian could be by his side now.

Although he wasn't a doctor either, Zhou Yan felt that he could definitely think of what to do.

Why didn't he give birth early or late, he didn't give birth in those three days, and as soon as he left, she was going to give birth?

God, are you playing with me?

He said he'd be back in the evening, gritting his teeth and insisting on regenerating when he returned.

The question is...... Will this be able to hold on?

For more than two hours after that, Zhou Yan's stomach still hurt every few minutes, but fortunately, Meng Jian left a watch, which allowed Zhou Yan to calculate the time of the pain.

After she became pregnant, she checked a lot of information in this area, although now the mobile phone can't be turned on, and she can't check it anymore, but she still knows some general things.

At noon, Zhou Yan's labor pain was shortened to eight minutes to once, and after she got herself something to eat, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep because she was very tired.

After the afternoon, her stomach obviously hurt a lot more than in the morning, and when the pain started, her whole body trembled, and she couldn't move, so she could only barely walk around and do something to distract herself after the pain had passed.

The sky outside slowly darkened, but Meng Jian still did not come back, Zhou Yan's stomach pain intensified, and the time of each labor pain was reduced to once every five minutes, each time the pain was more than twenty seconds, and now the pain was a little unbearable for Zhou Yan, she wondered if she was about to give birth.

I really didn't expect that when I was about to give birth, there was no one around.

Will it not be able to give birth, and it will continue to hurt like this until it hurts to death?

When another labor pain occurred, Zhou Yan became very desperate in her heart, and she couldn't even help crying.

At this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly heard some movement in the room, which made her very frightened, but the next moment, Meng Jian appeared at the door, obviously he got into the iron door from the secret passage, and opened the iron door with a key to come in, Zhou Yan didn't notice the sound when he came in because of labor pain.

"I'm really going to give birth!" Zhou Yan shouted to Meng Conversion, I don't know why, as soon as she saw him come back, her heart immediately settled down a lot.

"Oh......" Meng Jian hurriedly walked over and helped Zhou Yan, and looked at Zhou Yan with a smile. (To be continued......)
