Chapter 228: Alive

Qi Yang was also shocked at the first glance when he saw Lin Wu.

Her appearance is really terrifying, thinner than Ah Yun's mother, with such a big belly, she has to pant for breath when she takes a step or two, and she looks like a weed whose life is about to run out.

But even so, she kept herself as tidy as possible, carefully dressed neatly, and combed her hair meticulously.

And even if his body is so thin, that bookish aura still hasn't disappeared.

Lin Wu struggled to stand up straight, trying his best to look more decent, and asked softly:

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Then she coughed uncontrollably again, she covered her mouth and nose with her hands and turned her head, her coughing chest made a resonant sound, even her shoulders were shaking, and her whole person was shaking.

Qi Yang came back to his senses, subconsciously took two steps forward to help her, and then realized that it was inappropriate, and withdrew his hand a little embarrassed.

Ah Yun's mother hurriedly stepped forward to support her, Lin Wu finally stopped coughing before turning his head, with apology in his eyes and a hoarse voice:

"I'm sorry, I've had some health problems lately."

Qi Yang shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"We learned that there are pregnant women here, so let's come and have a look."

Lin Wu's expression froze, and then the apology on his face became even heavier, and he apologized again:

"I'm sorry for the trouble."

In this environment, a child who cries all day long will not be liked by anyone.

When Lin Wu learned that she was pregnant, she had already encountered a difficult situation after the birth of this child.

It wasn't because of irrational emotional outbursts that this child was left behind, it wasn't that I didn't think about killing this child at the beginning, but at that time there was no such condition.

When they found out that the child was already a month old when they were pregnant, they had no way to guarantee that the mother's trauma would not be infected after the child disappeared.

After all, in addition to being bitten to death by zombies in the last days, wound infections or incurable diseases are also a major reason for the demise of human beings.

Lin Wu sighed quietly and touched his stomach.

The child had been with her for ten months, and she could no longer look at it with the same eyes as she had done at the beginning.

With a heavy leg, Lin Wu lowered her head and found that Xiao Man was holding her leg with a uneasy face.

Lin Wu touched his head, his eyes full of softness.

This is also her child.

When Qi Yang heard the apology, he didn't react at first, but then he realized what Lin Wu meant, and hurriedly waved his hand:

"You're mistaken, that's not what I meant."

Lin Wu looked at him seriously when he heard this, and without waiting for him to speak, he said sincerely:

"Thank you."

Perhaps it was because most of the survivors encountered after the end of the world behaved badly, and suddenly met a particularly reasonable one, Qi Yang was a little at a loss at this time, and coughed dryly:

"No thanks, pregnant women deserve to be taken care of, it's our responsibility."

Ah Yun's mother was overjoyed when she heard this, and grabbed Lin Wu before she could open her mouth to refuse, and stepped forward and said:

"Thank you so much, she is about to give birth in less than a month, it would be good if you could please arrange it at that time, so that she can give birth to this child peacefully."

After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to turn around and glance at Lin Wu in warning.

Lin Wu was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, touched his stomach and stopped talking.

Qi Yang didn't care too much about Ah Yun's mother's small movements, and nodded:

"We'll arrange it as soon as possible." Then he was ready to leave.

At this moment, Lin Wu suddenly raised his head, as if he had made up his mind, and called Qi Yang:

"Wait a minute."

Ah Yun's mother's face changed, thinking that Lin Wu was going to guard the bottom line of life again and refuse the military's help, the hand holding Lin Wu's arm tightened violently, desperately giving her a look.

Qi Yang turned around and asked:

"Anything else?"

Lin Wu's tone was very solemn, and he seemed to have a little request:

"Sir, I was a teacher before the end of the world, and there are many children in the base, and they are not very old......"

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what it meant.

Ah Yun's mother was about to faint, and she couldn't wait to seal Lin Wu's mouth directly!

I can't take care of other people myself, besides, in this current environment, where is there room for these children to study?

Qi Yang also thought the same, every day he was tired of resisting the zombies outside, and when he came back, he had to deal with the survivors with all kinds of careful thoughts, and everyone was already very tired.

I don't have the energy to do anything else, and ......

Qi Yang glanced at Lin Wu, it was not him who judged people by their appearance, the pregnant woman in front of him had really reached the point where she would break when the wind blew, and even if she gave birth safely, her vitality would be greatly damaged.

Asking her to take care of those children is simply forcing her to death.

Thinking of this, Qi Yang was about to blurt out if he refused, Lin Wu saw what he meant, shook his head, and said with difficulty:

"Sir, isn't it alive to survive?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent.

Qi Yang was shocked by this sentence, and lost his words for a while.

He couldn't refute it, yes, shouldn't he live if he survived?

What does it take to be alive?!

Is it alive just to be able to catch your breath?

They have always been thinking about how to live today, and have never thought about the future, what future, what continuation, those seemingly distant things, aren't they close at hand?

Because of the ease of management, the military restricts the space in which the survivors can move and restricts all of their anomalous activities.

Look at the survivors, one by one, numbly waiting for the military to send them materials for food and clothing, and other than that, they look up to the sky in despair and emptiness every day.

In other words, the base is now more like a cage for captive livestock, a "safe haven" full of suffering.

Just like John Calhon's "rat utopia experiment" in the last century, human beings today are like white rats in captivity in the base, even if they can barely survive now, they will eventually inevitably perish.

What's more, this is a living person, not a rat in captivity in the army.

Lin Wu knew that Qi Yang had understood what he meant, and continued:

"Sir, I'm sure most people don't want to be caged waste, they prefer to re-prove their worth, let alone ......"

Lin Wu took a few breaths, and then said:

"You guys are so tired, and we want to live on our own."

Until this moment, Qi Yang's eyes looking at Lin Wu were different from before, and he didn't expect that in the upper echelons of the entire base, no ordinary woman could understand.

Qi Yang's face was complicated, and he nodded solemnly:

"I see, I'll react with the lieutenant general."

Of course, Lin Wu knew that this matter would not happen overnight, but it was extremely rare to have someone who could listen to her words, so his face was full of relief.

Mu Tang looked at the side in a daze, and only felt that these two people seemed to have done a big thing in just a few words.

Qi Yang said goodbye again and was about to leave, but halfway through, he suddenly thought of something, folded back again, and took out something from his pocket-

A boiled egg that has cooled through.

Lu Yan brought back most of the food stocks from the Tomorrow Base, which made the food supply of the Tongcheng Base less tight, and put aside the supply of the wounded and the supply of survivors, the senior officers could receive two eggs a week.

Qi Yang handed the egg to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, and was about to shake his head to refuse, when Qi Yang opened his mouth:

"Take it."

His tone was stiff, and his face was full of words that could not be refused.

But Lin Wu didn't miss the care in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, this is probably another person with a hard face and a soft heart.

In order to suppress the restless survivors, these soldiers look unapproachable with cold faces all day long, but in fact they are the gentlest people.

Lin Wu finally took the egg and re-said the two words that he had said tonight I don't know how many times:

"Thank you".

Qi Yang was silent before turning to leave.

Mu Tang looked at Yan Mingzhun's back behind Qi Yang, his heart moved, and he quickly turned his head to say goodbye to Lin Wu's family, and quickly followed.
