Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 755: Poison in my head

After three hours of light sleep, Bai Meiyue woke up and was fully prepared to tackle the task at hand. When she woke up and took a look outside again, Xiang Mei had created a wooden bridge with her gnarled branches twisted around one another. This wooden bridge reached past the first building and was connected to the third building. Bai Meiyue looked at the ability users, who were climbing up the bridge to save their lives while fighting the zombies.

Bai Meiyue arched a brow when she saw the tired expressions on the faces of the ability users.

"They have been fighting for the last three hours," Meng Suisui told her. While Bai Meiyue was sleeping, the ability users under Bai Feng tried to break through the zombie encirclement. They must have killed more than a thousand zombies, and yet they were not able to break past the countless zombies that were surrounding them from all four directions. Because they had been fighting incessantly for the past three hours, they were really tired.

Bai Meiyue glanced at the ability users who were fighting for their lives and turned her gaze away silently. Everyone was in a situation where they were fighting for their lives; who had the time to care about someone else? Whether they lived or died depended on their fate.

"Suisui, Doctor Shen, get up." She raised her hand and patted Meng Suisui and Shen Zhen, who were still sleeping on the couch. "Go and collect some crystal nuclei for the time being. It’s morning now, so there is a good chance that the zombies are not as active as they were at night; you can collect some crystal nuclei to absorb and strengthen your powers, Suisui."

Meng Suisui yawned and arched one arm over her head as she nodded sleepily.

Bai Meiyue sighed. She had just rested for three hours, and her mental state had improved a little, so she thought that it was time for her to build an ice bridge. With her ability, she could not build an ice bridge within just one day. Besides, it was summer at the moment, and the external environment was likely to melt the ice that she could make with her ice.

For the sake of building the ice bridge, she would need more than just one day. During these days, she hoped that Lei Qian would be able to hold on and wouldn’t starve to death or maybe bleed to death.

As for the crystal nuclei that she asked Shen Zhen and Meng Suisui to collect, it was because she knew that creating the ice bridge would take a lot of energy, and those crystal nuclei would be the ones helping her out. Without those crystal nuclei, Bai Meiyue wouldn’t be able to create that ice bridge. After all, she had to create a rather thick ice bridge that wouldn’t melt. So without the crystal nuclei, she wouldn’t have been able to create a thick ice bridge.

"Then I will arrange for more crystal nuclei," said Shen Zhen with a frown. She then looked at Bai Meiyue, who was staring at the building that was on the other side of the street. She said to her, "But don’t push yourself too much."

"I know." Bai Meiyue raised her hand and placed it on her belly. She was really torn in half. On one side, there was Lei Qian, who was injured and needed her help, and on the other side, there was her unborn child. She didn’t know which side to take or which side to pick at the moment.

If she tried to protect her son, then she might put Lei Qian at risk, and if she tried to save Lei Qian, then maybe she might put her child at risk.

"Let’s go," said Meng Suisui as she turned to look at Bai Meiyue, who was staring at the building with a troubled look on her face. She understood what was going on in Bai Meiyue’s mind. She sighed, understanding her internal troubles and strife, but there was nothing that could be done at the moment. However, as she was walking out of the room, she realised that Shen Zhen was not following her.

Frowning hard, she turned to look behind her only to see Shen Zhen covering her mouth with her hand.

"What’s the matter?" Meng Suisui asked with a frown on her face when she saw Shen Zhen standing in the middle of the room with a sick complexion.

"I ... I feel sick..." groaned Shen Zhen, waving her hand, while wanting to comfort Bai Meiyue, who turned to look at her worriedly. Bai Meiyue was already troubled due to her condition and Lei Qian’s injuries; she couldn’t add to her worries. She heaved a heavy breath and said, "It must be some gastrointestinal issue. You do not have to worry." She drank a few gulps of water and washed her mouth clean of the taste.

Though somewhere she was worried. After all, she and Lu Yu had done the deed. What if —what if she were pregnant? But she pursed her lips and shook her head. She and Lu Yu only did it one time. How could she be pregnant just by sleeping with that jerk only once? That was not possible.

She couldn’t be pregnant.

Shen Zhen, who was the master of gynaecology, had some clues about her situation. But she was not willing to believe that she was pregnant. After she suppressed the nausea, she exhaled and inhaled sharply. Her eyes widened in realisation as she stood in place like a dumb fool. She stood on the spot, trying to reel in through the shock. However, she was unwilling to accept that she was pregnant, because somewhere in her mind, Shen Zhen didn’t believe that she could be a good mother to her children.

Coming from a broken family, the one thing that scared Shen Zhen the most was having a child. After all, if she ended up getting a child, could she even raise and protect them? When she couldn’t protect her own sisters?
