Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 372 Mom, I'm Pregnant
Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei helped drive the car back to the 923 Institute base before leaving.

Before leaving, a celebration was naturally in order, and everyone laughed and joked until midnight before finally resting.

During the celebration, Luo Ping clamored for Lu Xi'an to sing, and Lu Xi'an, not wanting to disappoint, sang several songs in a row.

However, he didn't sing any new songs; instead, he sang all the songs he had sung before, which ultimately provoked a protest from Luo Ping.

It was one thing for this guy to protest alone, but he also led a group of people in protesting, strongly demanding that Lu Xi'an sing another new song. So Lu Xi'an had no choice but to shout and start singing:

"The great river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky point to the Big Dipper!"

He didn't use many techniques for this song, nor did he know many techniques; he just relied on sheer willpower to truly bring out that heroic, unrestrained, and fierce spirit.

The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and under Lu Xi'an's guidance, they gradually caught up with his rhythm, even managing to shout a few lines like, "Hey! Hey! Let's join forces! A bowl of wine for sworn brothers!"

But the most energetic shouts they did were "Hey ya! Ee er ya! Hey hey ee er ya!"

Finally, Lu Xi'an sang, "When you see injustice on the road, roar out! When it's time to take action, take action!" and they all sang along.

The last line, "Rushing across the land with great fanfare," quickly caught everyone's attention, and they all shouted it with increasing enthusiasm, including the two children, Chai Xin and Dao.

Although Chai Xin and Dao are actually a bit older, in Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei's eyes, they are still children.

And then there's the child that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei picked up back then.

In recent years, several children have been born at the 923 Institute base. Every time a child is born, they are sent to the 923 Institute together with their mother.

The environment here is relatively comfortable, the temperature can be regulated, and there is a water source that can be replenished at any time, which can maximize the survival rate of children.

Back then, the child was mixed in with a group of children, and Lu Xi'an could actually tell him apart by his appearance, but he didn't make a point of greeting the child.

The child had long forgotten his childhood; when he was brought back to the base while being fed wolf's milk, he had no memory of anything.

He now believes that he was just like the other children, born and raised in this base, so why should he go out of his way to bring this child all sorts of messy thoughts?
As Lu Xi'an sang, he looked at Yao Wei and saw that Yao Wei was gradually being infected and immersing herself in the song, also singing "When it's time to make a move, make a move and bravely conquer the nine provinces." He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This woman is finally feeling a bit better.

The next morning, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei ate something and then left Institute 923.

As they left, everyone came out of the base and watched the two walk away.

Now that things were no longer urgent, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei did not walk fast. They returned to Linhai City and found a half-open shelter at the foot of a towering cliff, where they jumped up.

The shelter had been disguised from the outside, and the steps that were originally there to climb had long since weathered away and become indistinct. Now, even they themselves couldn't find the place with the naked eye unless they looked closely.

In the end, it was thanks to the dog that they were able to determine their location. They leaped up, kicked down the now-unused "wooden door," and entered the shelter.

Instead of immediately carrying the RV out of the shelter, the two got into the vehicle, had the dog connect it, changed into their pajamas, lay down on the bed, and prepared to have a comfortable sleep.

"The bed in this train is so comfortable! I've gotten used to sleeping here, and I just don't feel right in other places. No matter how spacious the room or how big and soft the bed is, I just don't feel comfortable."

As Lu Xi'an lay down, she let out a groan of extreme comfort, and then sighed.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, agreeing with the sentiment.

The two turned to look at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Aren't you in a hurry to go to the East China Sea?"

Lu Xian asked.

Yao Wei replied, "No rush."

Lu Xi'an then said, "Let's get some sleep first and set off tomorrow."

Yao Wei said, "Okay."

Lu Xi'an rummaged through the box and found the small umbrella, but just as he was about to tear open the packaging, Yao Wei suddenly grabbed his hand.

Lu Xi'an was slightly surprised and looked at Yao Wei.

"No need for this."

Yao Wei said very seriously.

"No?"

Lu Xi'an asked again, unsure.

"Well, no thanks."

Yao Wei replied, her tone equally serious, "Didn't you say that this is the only way to have a child?"

Lu Xi'an couldn't help but smile and said, "I thought you were going to talk about having children after you went to Donghai City."

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "No need to wait. They can't beat us either. You can handle them all by yourself."

She had now compared the strengths of both sides. Although she couldn't understand why she and Lu Xi'an were so much stronger than the others, it didn't matter. As long as she knew they were now extremely powerful, far surpassing others, and therefore safe enough, that was enough.

Lu Xi'an agreed with Yao Wei's statement; like Yao Wei, he now possessed extremely strong self-confidence.

Having gone through so many battles, I am already very clear about my own strength, so why should I be as cautious as before?
He put the small umbrella back where it was, but before he could do anything, Yao Wei took the initiative and pounced on him.

The RV swayed and rocked in the shelter nestled in the cliffs until nightfall.

They weren't in the mood for dinner, nor did they plan to move the car out of the shelter. They just stayed together, chatted for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

It's quite safe here, much safer than other places. Since you're going to rest, why bother carrying the car down?

"how do you feel?"

During their conversation, Lu Xi'an asked Yao Wei a question.

Yao Wei thought for a moment and said, "It's very different... I can feel it... um..."

She thought for a long time before she remembered how to describe her feelings and guesses, so she shared her sorted-out thoughts with Lu Xi'an.

The movie "The Legend of the Crane" immediately flashed through Lu Xi'an's mind.

He smacked his lips, not daring to think any further, and said to Yao Wei, "Go to sleep."

"Ah."

Yao Wei agreed, and the two fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, after waking up, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei lifted the car, jumped off the cliff, moved it back up the cliff, and parked it on the road.

Even after confirming their current strength, the two did not slack off in the slightest. They continued to train, then made and ate breakfast before setting off south.

Now that they no longer needed to hide, the two stopped heading south and drove through Jiangbei and then through the northern counties of Jiangnan City, where they became slightly more cautious.

But even if they are vigilant, it's only a slight vigilance; they won't be as cautious as before, avoiding encounters with everyone.

They just need to avoid any potential opponents now; there's no need to be so nervous.

Of course, they also encountered new humans during this period, but those new humans would quickly hide far away from them as soon as they met them.

It's unclear whether their achievements have already spread in these places, or whether they possess something like "spiritual pressure" that allows these new humans to sense the threat from afar and keep their distance.

Lu Xi'an felt it was something like "spiritual pressure," or perhaps "aura" would be a more appropriate term.

Yes, after that revenge battle, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei did indeed feel that a certain "aura" had appeared on them, which could subdue the enemy without fighting.

Perhaps this is actually a condensation of murderous intent. After a long march, easily defeating a powerful enemy and venting one's murderous intent, the strong confidence, combined with the condensed murderous intent and one's own strength, forms an "aura" that is invisible and intangible, yet truly exists.

This is also one of the sources of their confidence today.

As they continued south, both the new humans and ordinary people dispersed when they saw Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei arriving in their RV, allowing them to travel unimpeded.

They continued their leisurely pace, showing no intention of speeding up. After passing a place, they would examine it carefully, just as they had done back in the north, using their dogs to search for supplies.

They treated their trip to Donghai City as a leisurely vacation, and when they reached the south of Jiangnan City, they even suddenly had the idea to visit Mengze City.

Yao Wei's mother died in Mengze City, and the enemy's original stronghold was also in Wanquan County of Mengze City.

Now that the enemy has been eliminated, they still want to take a look at these places.

So they changed course and headed southwest.

Mengze City is located southwest of Jiangnan City, bordering Jiangnan to the east, Jianshan to the west, and the East China Sea to the south. If Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei had come directly from Jianshan, they could have reached Mengze City directly and then traveled to Wanquan County.

At the time, they thought that Sword Mountain was blocked and they had to turn back, which was a long detour. But now they realize that it was fortunate that the road south of Sword Mountain was blocked. Otherwise, their revenge journey would not have been as smooth as it is now.

Putting aside the fact that Wanquan County was already deserted, even if they had encountered those enemies earlier, they would have been no match for them and would have only been sent to their deaths.

—They arrived at Wanquan County in Mengze City, took a look inside, and found the county town to be completely desolate, with no one in sight. The nearby rivers and villages were also in a state of utter ruin.

Therefore, they should be glad that they took a detour from the east, went all the way to the 923 Institute base, obtained scientific training methods, and then went from the east to discover a great place like Caiyang Mountain, as well as a brand-new training method left by Yao Wei's parents. They practiced for four years and thus gained their current strength.

"So, are you protecting us from the shadows?"

Upon arriving at the place where Yao Wei had buried her mother, Ye Wenxin, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei paid their respects to Ye Wenxin together, thinking to themselves.

Yao Wei remained mostly silent at Ye Wenxin's grave, only kowtowing a few times with Lu Xi'an before cleaning the grave that she herself had dug when she was a child.

"Mom, I'm pregnant."

After doing all this, she spoke these words to her mother at the grave.

A loud noise suddenly came from far behind, followed by the familiar sound: "Ah?!"
