Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 249 Who will take care of this child?
Perhaps because she had never held a child before, this strong woman, who usually could carry 100 pounds without batting an eye, felt her arms were so sore they didn't feel like her own, and she was extremely tired.

Little kids are so hard to hold.

If I use too much force, I'm afraid I'll strangle him; if I use too little, I'm afraid he'll fall to the ground.

Finally, Liu Ying had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution. She fixed the child to her chest and then wrapped him with layers of vines, just like his mother had tied him to her chest, except that she used vines instead of cloth strips.

She first let go of one hand, then bounced it around. Hmm, it's quite sturdy and won't fall.

Now I can finally free my hands.

After being tormented like that, the child didn't utter a sound, his silence was somewhat eerie.

Liu Ying looked down at the child with curiosity, just as the child looked up at her. His light blue eyes were clear and bright, clean without any impurities. This made Liu Ying, who wanted to pretend to scold him, touch her nose somewhat reluctantly and look away.

He's playing innocent, absolutely!

This little kid is so incredibly knowledgeable; he's practically a prodigy.

Liu Ying decided that she should sell this monstrous talent as soon as possible.

Since the management office decided to start cleaning up Ancheng, after the bicycles found in the city were repaired, a dozen or so would be placed at intervals for use by cleaning personnel like Liu Ying and the patrol team.

So after Liu Xu and the others drove away, Liu Ying arrived at one of the bicycle parking spots not long after.

In order to sell this monster as soon as possible, she pedaled very fast, the wheels almost sparking, and soon she could see the tall and conspicuous stone gate of Pengcheng in the distance.

However, before reaching the gate, they encountered a patrol team from the management office.

She slammed on the brakes and stopped in front of the patrol team leader. Before he could greet her, she said, "A group of foreign superhumans have come to Ancheng. They seem to be involved in some kind of human experimentation lab, specifically targeting our superhumans for research. My brother and his team have gone there. You should send someone to check it out too."

She deliberately exaggerated the situation; no, the situation was inherently serious.

A bunch of foreigners, how dare they do human experiments? Do they want to die?

Who gave them the courage?

But before her brother and his gang kill those people, they need to get the management office to take them over.

The patrol team was furious. How dare this foreigner, who failed to escape the apocalypse, not only hide and lie low, but also attack their people.

With a wave of his hand, the squad leader immediately dispatched two patrol cars that looked like sightseeing vehicles, which sped off in the direction Liu Ying pointed out.

Although there are undercurrents within the major bases and each has its own purposes and intentions, the direction from above is clear, and each has its own advantages and control.

For example, gasoline is now controlled by the Kyoto base.

The base manager, Ouyang, has an agreement with them that they will receive a fixed supply every month starting last month.

So while gasoline is still precious, it's not so expensive that it's unusable.

Once the car was out of sight, Liu Ying turned around and continued riding towards Pengcheng.

The registration staff at the management office are still outside the gates of Pengcheng, but once Ancheng is cleared and the area is divided, the registration location for outside survivors will be moved there.

"You picked up a child, who's responsible for them?"

Deng Bo and He Ningzhu, who were in charge of registering the survivors who had come to seek refuge, were taken aback when they heard this. The two of them, along with their colleagues and two doctors, looked up at Liu Ying at the same time, and then turned their gaze to her small body, which was fixed very firmly in front of her.

"His mother might come later, or she might not. Who's in charge now?"

Liu Ying casually explained that she wasn't really concerned about Ankar's safety, but after she finished speaking, the people in the management office looked at each other and seemed a little unhappy.

She asked, "What? Is nobody taking care of the children?"

Although an orphanage has not yet been established, she knows that there are some children without parents and homeless. The management office has arranged for them to be placed near a primary school to make it easier for them to go to and from school.

There are also junior high and high schools nearby, so they are under unified management.

“Captain Liu, the orphans we’ve taken in are all able to take care of themselves, none of them are as small as the child you brought in.”

After a long while, Deng Bo finally spoke up with some difficulty to explain.

As soon as he spoke, the others immediately chimed in agreement.

"This child is too young! Is he even six months old?"

"Such a young baby needs formula, right? Where can we get this stuff now?"

That's exactly what I mean.

Liu Ying frowned, narrowed her eyes in displeasure, and looked at the group. "What do you mean? Is nobody going to do anything about this?"

How do we manage this?
There was no precedent for accepting babies before, so they really didn't know what to do.

Deng Bo thought for a few seconds and said to Liu Ying, "How about this, you take care of the child for a while longer, and we'll go ask the director for instructions after we finish our work here."

We can't just lose such a good child.

"Alright then, hurry up."

After Liu Ying finished speaking, she rode her bicycle into the city. She needed to find something for the little brat to eat, because he was probably hungry and was sucking his fingers.

After Liu Ying left, He Ningzhu watched her retreating figure and chuckled silently. Wasn't this Deputy Captain Liu supposed to be ruthless? How could she even pick up such a young child?
It's just causing trouble for the management office.

Today, Lao Sheng was on duty at the main gate. After making a round, he was about to return to the duty room when he saw Liu Ying, dressed strangely, riding in from outside.

He had also trained as a sniper with Jiang Minglang, which is why he had excellent eyesight.

At first glance, it seemed a bit strange that Liu Ying's upper body was wrapped in green vines, but upon closer inspection, I noticed a fluffy little head in the middle of the green vines.

Huh?
Is Liu Ying pregnant?

When was it born?
Old Sheng thought back to the last time he saw her, which was about two weeks ago. Before that, they would run into each other every now and then, since their team was never idle in order to earn points.

He thought about it carefully again, and it seemed that her belly had never been big.

I understand now, this child wasn't born to her.

Hey!
That's really strange. It's not her child, but she's holding it.

Given that she had been sending things to Qiqi lately, Lao Sheng allowed himself to be gossipy for once and asked as Liu Ying was about to pass by him, "Whose child is this?"

Liu Ying slipped and missed a pedal, nearly falling over as the handlebars became unstable.

With his legs planted on the ground, he glared fiercely at Lao Sheng and snapped, "What's it to you!"

Ignoring her angry expression, Lao Sheng leaned closer to look at the child, then exclaimed, "Wow, it's mixed race! You had it with a foreigner?"

Liu Ying's forehead veins throbbed. She didn't even know this bastard well, did she?

He flipped his hand and grabbed a piece of green vine, which shot up to several meters long in a flash. Without hesitation, he lashed out at Lao Sheng, but with a snap, the guy had already vanished from the spot.

Even though the person was gone, the cheeky voice continued, "I was just trying to be nice to you, why are you getting angry? By the way, if you don't have anything to feed this little brat, go find Qiqi. His sheep take turns giving birth, so he has goat milk."

Although she was sharp-tongued, she was perceptive and could almost immediately tell that the child was hungry, and that Liu Ying, with her hands empty, obviously had nothing to feed the child.

Liu Ying thought for a moment. She really didn't know where to find milk to feed the baby. Qiqi had sheep, so she decided to go to him. Anyway, the child was related to that black cat, so she could tell him the news. To prevent the baby from crying from hunger, Liu Ying rode very fast. Logically, she should have been drenched in sweat and sticky all over by now.

But strangely, she didn't seem to break a sweat at all.

Liu Ying was observant and quickly figured out why she wasn't sweating.

She looked down at the child in her arms who was still sucking his fingers, and then realized that he wasn't just playing around by sucking his fingers; his fingers were dripping wet.

Liu Ying slammed on the brakes and stopped in the middle of the road.

She took the child's finger out of his mouth; it looked wet and like saliva, but actually, water was dripping out drop by drop. The water droplets were clear and pure, even clearer than the water used by their team's water-elemental members.

Her brother was right; she really is a minor superhuman.

Water system!

No wonder it feels so cool on my chest; after all, the water used by water-type ability users is cool and refreshing.

But he drinks his own water and consumes it himself, so he didn't go hungry?
Of course, this is only temporary. Liu Ying believes that if she doesn't give him food for a day, no, not even a day, just half a day, she'll see if he cries.

An hour later, Liu Ying met Qi Qi in Yunxi Village and was taken to their clinic by him.

The goat milk was boiled and stored in a bottle. Liu Ying didn't even need to think about how to feed him; as soon as the nipple was placed near the child's mouth, his little hands quickly grabbed the bottle, and he drank vigorously.

The way he was sucking so eagerly made Liu Ying's eyes widen.

"How long has he been starving?"

Bai Li was also at the clinic, but it wasn't her speaking; it was Xia Min.

She was very curious about this foreign child, wondering where Liu Ying had been picked up.

Liu Ying didn't intend to hide anything and told the whole story about the child's origins.

After speaking, she glanced at Bai Li sitting not far away. Having been in Pengcheng for so long, this was the first time she had been so close to Bai Li and shared a room with her.

At this moment, she believed what her brother had said—no, she should say she had believed him last time.

Bloodline suppression is a real thing.

In front of Bai Li, she was extremely careful and cautious even when she spoke, out of a deep-seated and involuntary fear.

However, she turned out to be pregnant!

The last time I saw Bai Li was in Jiang Minglang's office. She was sitting on the sofa, and I just glanced at her without paying any attention to her stomach.

She's so big, she must be about to give birth, right?

So, is Qiqi going to have a younger brother or sister?

Noticing her gaze, Bai Li glanced over indifferently, but Liu Ying quickly looked away, frantically looking elsewhere.

What should we do with this child?

"The people at the management office said they need to consult their director. I'm waiting for their instructions."

Bai Li nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After feeding the child and having Dr. Su's wife examine him, finding no problems, Liu Ying planned to leave with a bucket of goat milk.

She needs to go to the management office, wait for them to reach an agreement, and then she can hand the child over to the relevant personnel.

However, she subconsciously wanted to keep the fact that the child was a water-based ability user a secret. She felt that telling them might not necessarily improve the child's situation.

just
She looked down at the child who had fallen asleep after eating, and sighed inwardly. He was too young; he didn't know how to hide his special abilities yet. Once someone else took over, they would discover them soon enough.

Because of the black cat that steals things next to Ankar, Kiki and Gigi decided to go and check it out.

But when the two of them went to Yueyue's place, intending to bring Fantong along, the white tabby cat disappeared again.

"It didn't bring a cloth bag this time."

After checking the bags at home, Yueyue confirmed that the rice bucket hadn't brought anything.

Qiqi thought for a moment and wondered, "Could it be that the glutton realized the black cat was in danger and went to help?"

The two parted ways with Liu Ying next to the management office building and headed straight out of the city.

At this time, Liu Ying was unaware that Ankar had killed the person who had sold her out, but she was also shot in the shoulder. Although it was not fatal, unfortunately, the aftereffects of the gunshot wound flared up again.

Liu Xu and the others watched as Ankar sat on the ground, his face contorted in pain, veins bulging all over his neck, looking just like a zombie at the beginning of the apocalypse.

Liu Xu's teammates wanted to kill Ankar, who was a dual-elemental ability user, one of which was speed. If she turned into a zombie, would that zombie also possess speed abilities?

Although I've never heard of such a thing before, I can't guarantee it doesn't happen.

Just like how some cats, dogs and other animals now possess superpowers, isn't that something that never happened before?

Ankar, who felt like he was about to faint from the pain, overheard the conversation between the teammate and Liu Xu.

Zombies.
Do they think she's going to turn into a zombie?

She can't see herself, so she doesn't know.

Her husband was bitten by an animal while saving her. Because the wound was festering and blackened, his companions, fearing he would turn into a zombie, chopped off his head first.

She was so devastated at the time that she almost died, but after she recovered, she realized that she shouldn't blame her companions, since turning into zombies is also a form of death.

So she didn't resent them later.

But the same group of people, after discovering that she had dual superpowers, actually knocked her unconscious and sold her.

Looking back now, I think they wanted to use her to their advantage, and they were also afraid that she would hold a grudge and resent them.

But now it's all over, they're all dead, all of them are dead.

After experiencing hardships and setbacks, her speed reached almost its peak, so even though they had guns, none of them were a match for her.

However, she couldn't kill them all by herself, so it was the companion of the young lady she had entrusted with her orphan who came to help.

Whatever the reason, she was grateful to them for helping her get revenge.

However, not all of them came; there are two others whose whereabouts are unknown.

ah.
it hurts!

Ankar's face and neck were soaked with water, which dripped down her back. She already possessed water-based abilities, and now, in her pain, all she wanted was to drain all the water from her body. Only the cool water washing over her skin could keep her mind briefly clear.

She opened her eyes and looked at Liu Xu. Her light blue eyes had turned bloodshot, and she trembled as she spoke in a hoarse voice, enunciating each word clearly, "Please take care of me."

Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, her eyes widened and she stopped breathing.

good night!
