Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 218 Mom, you've gained weight

"Mom, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa, Great-Grandma, Second Grandpa, Second Grandma"

At the main gate, apart from Qiao Fei getting out of the car, no one else moved. Jiang Minglang and his group even drove all the way to the Bai family's main gate.

As soon as Qiqi jumped out of the car, she ran home, calling out to everyone as she ran.

It was hot, and Bai Li was wearing a loose-fitting, oversized black dress.

Even so, her slightly protruding belly is still faintly visible when she walks, after all, she is already four months pregnant.

As she came out of the main room, Qiqi ran into the yard. When he saw his mother, he tried to pounce on her from behind, which startled Jiang Minglang so much that he quickly ran over and grabbed him by the back of the neck.

"Be careful, don't fall on Mom."

Qiqi struggled and complained, "Dad, let go first." He hadn't seen his mother in so long, what's wrong with giving her a hug?

Dad is so annoying.

Fortunately, Bai Li had already come over. She took two steps forward, put her arm around him, lowered her head and kissed his forehead, then smiled and pinched her son's chubby cheeks. "You've been running around outside for more than half a month, and you haven't lost any weight."

"Mom, I missed you so much."

The mother and daughter cuddled together affectionately.

Jiang Minglang said with dissatisfaction, "Don't you mind that he's dirty? Come on, let's take a shower and change our clothes."

Bai Li pointed to the unidentified liquid on the father and son's clothes and asked curiously, "What did you fight with?"

It's definitely not blood, so it can't be a zombie or a mutated animal; it must be a mutated plant.
"It was a mutated sycamore tree, so tall and thick, and so fierce. Gigi, my uncle, and I worked really hard to knock it bare. Mom, you have no idea, after the temperature suddenly rose, the road was originally bare and there was hardly any green, but overnight a lot of dangerous trees sprouted up, and we knocked them all the way back."

Not only mutated plants, but also mutated animals.

As soon as it gets hot, they all come out of their hiding places, probably because they are very hungry. Some animals don't care about the danger they face from humans and rush over blindly.

So Qiqi was right; after completing the mission, they did indeed fight their way back.

Moreover, as they approached Shenzhen, they detoured through several areas to clear out some newly emerging aggressive mutated plants.

"And also, Mom, we met a black cat with blue eyes. It steals things, including our noodles and scallion oil sauce. It even followed us for a long way, so I gave it two more bags of noodles and a jar of scallion oil sauce. After that, Gigi and I could only eat chili sauce. And you know what? Its owner is a foreigner."

"Okay, take a shower first, then talk to Mom."

Jiang Minglang couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed his talkative son by the back of the neck, pulling him into the bathroom.

Bai Li smiled, turned around and went back to her room to get their clothes.

After leaving a message for Qi Yue at the gate, Qiao Fei leisurely strode into the gate. As soon as the iron gate slammed shut, he quickened his pace and rushed home.

Song Huanyan was holding Song Xiaoxiao down to do her homework in the main room. Half an hour had passed and she hadn't even finished one page of calculations, which made her heart ache with anger.

"Song Xiaoxiao, Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe are not here. They haven't had class these past two days, so you just did your homework like this? Do you know how long it took you to finish the addition and subtraction problems within 20?"

Song Xiaoxiao remained silent, her eyes fixed on the remaining ten questions, her mind racing with thoughts of when she could finally go out and smash that bastard.
Steamed buns were being cooked in the pot. Did you sneak out while your aunt was checking on them?
So she didn't hear a word her aunt said to her.

"Song Xiaoxiao!"

Song Huanyan finally realized that she was daydreaming, and angrily slammed her hand on the coffee table. With a crack, the solid wood coffee table broke open.

Oh no, I forgot to hold back.

Song Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and stared blankly at the crack. Suddenly, the little girl grinned and said, "Haha, Auntie, you cracked Uncle Qiao's coffee table."

That gloating little expression made Song Huanyan really want to give her a good whack.

Just then, the closed door was pushed open, and Qiao Fei stepped in, sniffing the air as he went. He then asked with delight, "What are you steaming? Steamed buns or dumplings?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the aunt and niece in the main room were startled. Song Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, jumping up and running outside, calling out, "Uncle Qiao!"

Qiao Fei smiled and picked up the little girl who rushed towards him. "Missed Uncle Qiao?"

Song Xiaoxiao nodded firmly, "Yes!" She wanted to say that if you didn't come back soon, we might have to move.

Although she failed to cut down any wood to make furniture, her aunt came up with a new idea.

She asked Captain Xue in the village if she could move some usable furniture from an uninhabited house.

Captain Xue agreed.

So these past two days her aunt has been looking around, planning to put a set in the yard to dry first, and once it's dried, the two of them can move in.

So she was extremely anxious, hoping that Uncle Qiao would come home quickly to stop it.

"What are you two doing?"

Qiao Fei carried Song Xiaoxiao into the house. He first looked at Song Huanyan and saw that her face was not good. His heart skipped a beat because of the man outside.

I really want to ask directly: Who is that? And what's your relationship with them?
However, it's best to lay some groundwork beforehand, otherwise it will seem too abrupt.

Song Huanyan raised her chin and pointed to the workbook on the coffee table, replying with a dark face, "It's been half an hour, and she's only done half of the twenty questions on each page. She even daydreams when I talk to her. Look at her attitude!"

She was so angry she wanted to beat the girl up; she was just too infuriating.

Qiao Fei's lips twitched. He had watched Song Xiaoxiao do her homework before, and it really tested one's patience.

He decisively changed the subject, deciding not to lay any groundwork.

"Hey, when I came in just now, I ran into someone at the front gate who said they were looking for you. Why didn't you go out?"

宋欢颜一听脸更黑了，正想开口说不认识，就见她的好侄女贼兮兮的跟乔飞说道，“乔叔你去把他揍跑，那是你情敌。”

"Song Xiaoxiao!"

Song Huanyan was really angry. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed over, "You won't behave until you get a beating today, will you?"

Seeing that her aunt was really angry, Song Xiaoxiao turned and ran away. She didn't even realize that Liuli had run out at some point.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of Baiguoyuan, a Shiba Inu was circling another Shiba Inu. The one being circled looked at the silly dog ​​sticking its tongue out at it with a cold expression, unmoved by its affection.

After Song Xiaoxiao ran away, Qiao Fei stopped Song Huanyan, who was about to chase after her, and said helplessly, "Why are you really angry? Kids don't like doing homework. It's not a big deal, we can guide her properly later."

Song Huanyan glared at him, "You're guiding me?"

Qiao Fei choked for a moment, then decisively pushed the assignment to the respected old teacher, "Give it to Grandpa Bai. He'll take care of the kids. Look at Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe's homework, it's so neat. Anyway, they're back now, so you don't need to tutor them anymore, just give it to those two boys."

After finishing his sentence, he returned to the original topic, looked at her, and asked, "Is that person at the door really your boyfriend?"

"What boyfriend? We broke up almost eight hundred years ago."

Hearing what he wanted to hear, Qiao Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good, nothing else matters. I heard this guy has been coming over a lot lately, and every time he comes he claims to be Song Huanyan's boyfriend, even though she's never gone out with him or acknowledged it.

How can someone be so shameless?
Qiao Fei thought for a moment and asked her, "What do you think? Isn't it annoying that he keeps coming?"

How could I not be annoyed?

Song Huanyan rolled her eyes; she was getting annoyed to death.

If that guy's superpower wasn't fire-based, she wouldn't be able to beat him; she would have gone out and beaten him to a pulp long ago.

"How about this, the two of us?"

"Don't tell me we're going to pretend to be a couple and then go out and scare him away?"

Qiao Fei awkwardly touched his nose, thinking to himself, "Isn't this a good idea?"

Song Huanyan ignored him and said, "Go take a shower and change your clothes. We'll eat in a bit."

Then he turned and went to the kitchen.

Unbeknownst to them, not long after, three little devils came running to the door, and Qi Yue was chased by them in a very disheveled manner.

His fireballs were useless against Qiqi; Qiqi was frozen as soon as it appeared, and eventually even its hands were frozen.

The little girl warned Qi Yue fiercely, "If you come to see my aunt again, I'll freeze you into an ice sculpture."

Qi Yue's expression remained unchanged, but he looked at the two little boys beside the girl with shock. He had heard that Captain Jiang's son was an ice-type, so this must be him. How old is he? He can control his supernatural abilities so well.

It seems that he was specially trained by Captain Jiang.

There was another little boy who, although he didn't unleash his special abilities, demonstrated speed and skill that were on par with the strongest member of his team.

Before leaving, he glanced at Yunxi Village one last time. Surrounded by green walls, the village was bathed in the glow of the setting sun, with wisps of smoke rising from its chimneys, resembling a mysterious and beautiful paradise.

How did Huan Yan find such a place? And what about that man just now? He said he was going home and asked if Huan Yan had cooked dinner. What is their relationship?
He didn't dare ask Song Xiaoxiao, afraid that he would hear an answer he didn't want to hear.

But fate had other plans. This brat not only wanted to drive him away, but also wanted to extinguish any hope in his heart.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, my uncle is back. Didn't you just run into him at the door? He's not only more handsome than you, but he's also more powerful. If you dare to come again, my uncle will definitely smash your skull."

Qi Yue paused, sighed softly, and even though he was unwilling, he could only leave first.

"Actually, he's more handsome than Uncle Qiao."

After everyone had walked away, Jiang Qicai offered his objective evaluation.

Lin Zhe disagreed, "He's only fairer than Uncle Qiao, not as tall or strong. He definitely can't beat Uncle Qiao in a fight. Even if it's fire magic, Uncle Qiao can kill him within three moves."

Whether someone is handsome or not is directly related to their fighting ability.

That's what Lin Zhe thinks.

Song Xiaoxiao agreed with Lin Zhe. She thought Jiang Qi had no taste. In her eyes, Qi Yue was an ugly freak, both ugly and a scumbag.

At this moment, Qiao Fei, who was taking a shower at home, was unaware that after the three children chased the man away, they compared him to Qi Yue from head to toe.

That evening, after Bai Li took a shower and changed into a light-colored, thin nightgown, she had just half-lyed down on the bed when Qi Qi ran upstairs and knocked on the door. "Mommy, I'm coming in."

"come in."

He promised his mother that he would tell her everything he had seen and heard on the way out before going to bed tonight, without missing a single detail.

So now he's here.

However, as he climbed into bed and was about to lie down next to his mother, his eyes swept over her belly and he suddenly froze.

"Mom, have you gained weight?"

When Qiqi asked this question, Bai Li suddenly felt her stomach move, as if the little thing inside had turned over from one side to the other.

Even though it was covered by her nightgown, you could still clearly see the movement inside.

Qiqi's eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out, "Mommy, is the flesh on your tummy moving?"

The fat on my stomach.
That seems right.

Bai Li took her son's hand and placed it on her belly, smiling as she said, "You can feel carefully where the movement is."

In fact, according to her idea, she should have told Qiqi as soon as she found out she was pregnant that he had been looking forward to having a younger brother or sister for a long time.

But Bai Xiangtian believed that it was precisely because he had been looking forward to it for so long that he was excited and couldn't hide his boasting.

Jiang Minglang will also be away for a while, at least until he returns. He won't go out again after that, so that even if others find out, they won't be too worried.

The old man and woman believed that the first three months were too unstable and that it would be safer to wait until after three months.

So, she planned to tell Qiqi when he came back.

Now, the clever little guy understands immediately when he hears his mother's words.

His eyes shone brightly, filled with unparalleled excitement. "Ahhh, Mommy, Mommy, is this what I think it means? I'm going to be a big brother, right? I'm going to be a big brother, right?"

"Yes, you're a big brother now."

She looked tenderly at her eldest son, watching him carefully place his hand on her belly and call out to it, "Move for your brother, move for your brother again."

Ok?
Bai Li's smile suddenly froze. She sat up abruptly and turned her head sharply to look out the window.

At the same time, a series of footsteps sounded outside. Jiang Minglang quickly went upstairs to his bedroom. He took out his sniper rifle from the cabinet, then snapped the light off. As he left, he told the mother and son, "Stay in the room. Qiqi, close the curtains."

Qiqi immediately jumped off the bed, ran to the window and pulled the curtains shut, carrying out the order very quickly.

However, after finishing, she didn't immediately go back to bed. Instead, she leaned against the window and quietly looked outside.

"Stop looking, it's a bat."

Swarms of mutated bats swooped down from the darkness, the leader almost the size of an adult eagle, its grotesque face utterly repulsive.

Ah!
Just then, Fengbao suddenly let out a loud cry from the courtyard. The crows that had been roosting on their wall took flight one by one and formed a circle at the edge of the wall.

Bai Li frowned slightly. There were a lot of bats this time. Although she didn't know where they came from, their numbers and size were clearly beyond what the mutated crows could handle.

Over time, the family developed a strong bond with the blackbirds, so she really didn't want to see them get hurt.

Two vines quietly passed over and stood upright behind the crow.

Qiqi opened the door and went into the balcony, quietly crouching down to one side, ready for a few frozen bats to come at any time.

good night!
