CHAPTER 613: CHAPTER 611: PREGNANT?

Su Mo drank a sip of hot water and immediately felt much better in her stomach. She said hoarsely, "It will still take some time to renovate the interior there, it’s a pretty big project."

Rong Bai’s face lit up with joy, "That’s easy to say, there are plenty of engineers in the refugee camp, we’ll move them all over when the time comes."

"Has Lu Jin returned? What’s the situation with his bunker?"

Rong Bai spread his hands, indicating that he didn’t know either, "No news has come back yet, he’s probably still on the road, maybe even on his deathbed."

Su Mo did not ask further, since her place was large enough to accommodate so many people. Although it would be a bit cramped, it was definitely not unmanageable.

At this point, Feng Yao interjected, "I have something to say. Half a month ago, the hailstorm killed a lot of people. Fang Ya’s legs are crippled, and she lies in the tent next door hanging by a thread, while Lu Youwei has disappeared."

Jiang Yulian was startled, "Why are you only telling me this now?"

"I only remembered when I saw Lu Chen, you see..."

Lu Chen’s face was stern as he said, "It was her own choice."

Fang Ya had more than one chance to escape her situation, but she had given them all up. Su Mo found this wooden-headedness utterly speechless.

Speaking of the hailstorm, Rong Bai also spoke somewhat bitterly, "That hailstorm killed over a thousand of us. The good part is it saved a lot of food; the bad part is, we only just finished patching up the city walls recently. If it happens again, we can hardly afford it. That this hotel miraculously survived is a miracle itself."

Su Mo bowed her head and listened, her stomach suddenly churning again. She covered her mouth and rushed into the adjoining restroom to throw up.

Jiang Yulian, seeing that situation, felt something was amiss. She looked at Lu Chen, "How long has Miss Su been like this?"

"Almost a week now," Lu Chen replied solemnly.

Jiang Yulian couldn’t sit still anymore. She handed the child to Lu Chen, "You play with Zhuoyang for a while. I’m going to check on her."

As soon as Jiang Zhuoyang was in Lu Chen’s arms, he softly called him brother and then bit his finger.

Lu Chen felt odd, staring intently in the direction of the restroom and fell into deep thought.

Rong Bai, who understood these matters a bit more, tentatively said, "Could Su Mo be pregnant?"

At these words, the whole room was in uproar.

Lu Chen, even carrying the child, stood up from his seat with a bizarre expression.

He had always been careful with every measure, even if Su Mo had given him a box of expired BXX, he was still very cautious, making it absolutely impossible for such a situation to occur.

Could it be...

He narrowed his eyes as if he remembered something.

Su Mo really was vomiting terribly, and she didn’t know why her reactions seemed even worse after coming back.

Jiang Yulian gently rubbed her back from behind and asked in a low voice, "Did you and Chenchen not take precautions?"

Her question was subtle, yet Su Mo felt as if struck by lightning.

Pregnant?

She instinctively looked down at her abdomen, "No way, we always have..."

She seemed to remember something too, touched her stomach, and her mood plummeted to the depths, they both got carried away with drinking once after the Beast Tide, and at that time...

"I’m going to the clinic."

Enduring the discomfort, she stood up with the help of Jiang Yulian. Just as she reached the door, Lu Chen was already waiting at the side. He took her by the arm, his hand trembling slightly, "I’ll take you to see the doctor."

Having been diagnosed by the doctor as pregnant and almost two months along, Jianxiong was so thrilled that he nearly shook the doctor’s arm off, and everyone who came with them was also filled with joy.

It was clearly something to be happy about, but neither Su Mo nor Lu Chen had a trace of joy on their faces.

He bent down to lift the person sitting on the chair and hurried back to their own room with a serious face.

Lu Chen gently placed her on the bed and stared intently at her stomach, his eyes filled with remorse, "I didn’t expect you to be pregnant."

He knew Su Mo’s body was special, and he had some suspicions since they left the underground laboratory, especially after Lu Jin’s words had only made him more certain.

This child might not be human, and if allowed to develop, it could very well endanger Su Mo’s life, which he absolutely wouldn’t allow.

Su Mo herself was aware; an embryo created by a virus was, in itself, a monster, and now she was pregnant...

She touched her stomach with her hand, a flicker of confusion in her eyes, "What should we do?"

She genuinely didn’t know what to do; initially, she and Lu Chen had decided against having children, but this time it had taken without precautions, too accurate.

Now, there might already be a monster inside her stomach.

Lu Chen held her in his arms and said coldly, "We don’t want children, you can’t be in danger."

He would rather the thing that had just implanted not long ago die than let even a trace of a threat to Su Mo stay.

Su Mo hung her head in silence.

Their strange behavior was partly guessed by Li Qian, but Jianxiong and Jiang Yulian and the others were somewhat confused.

Jiang Yulian, holding a child, stood at the doorway to their room, puzzled, "Isn’t being pregnant a good thing? And now that the bunker has been found, you can safely have children now, right?"

Zhao Changsheng lamented as if all his cabbages were uprooted by someone else’s pig, "My darling is going to have a baby so soon."

Li Qian took her hand, speaking gently, "If you want, I can also try harder."

"Get lost!"

...

Su Mo lay in bed for two days, and Lu Chen held her for those two days. Mu Rou heard they had returned and that Su Mo was pregnant, so she brought a lot of nice things wanting to visit, but she was turned away.

Not eating anything naturally meant no vomiting, Su Mo turned around and cuddled in Lu Chen’s arms, speaking softly, "After all the messing around for two months outside, it didn’t fall off, it probably wants to stay, now that it’s here, let’s give it a try."

"At worst, we can rob a few hospitals, get a couple of ultrasound machines and keep monitoring it, and if... it really is a monster, it’s not too late to terminate."

This was the longest sentence she had said in two days.

Lu Chen hugged her a bit tighter, his voice sounding somewhat fragile, "I am very worried."

Su Mo reached out and touched his face, "Actually, I am quite keen to have a child with you, so let’s give it a try."

Lu Chen’s eyes suddenly reddened, and he buried his face in her hair, "What an honor it is."

He loved her dearly, and though there might be danger, Su Mo knew that since the child was here, she could only try her best.

What if it turns out to be a healthy child capable of growing strongly?

After thinking it over for two days, Su Mo decided to get up and try to make something to eat for herself, but Lu Chen immediately pushed her back down, dressed himself, and went to the cafeteria to have the chef prepare a lot of food to bring back for her.

Su Mo didn’t want to touch the greasy food, but she happily ate the simple chicken and meat porridge.
