Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

"He notified me that he needed my help or that he needed to talk to me. He was showing goodwill by taking the initiative. If I missed this opportunity, there might not be another chance."

Su Qingxue shut her mouth, and the two of them remained silent for a moment.

Su Qingxue took two steps, then stopped and stood with her back to Lin Fan, her hands on her stomach, her palms pressed against the bulge.

"You kicked me."

Lin Fan looked up, not understanding what she meant for a moment.

"I mean, your child kicked me." Su Qingxue turned around, her expression complex, a mix of laughter and tears. "It's been happening quite frequently lately, and now it's happening again."

Lin Fan stood up, walked to her side, and placed his palm on her stomach.

A few seconds later, I gently pushed against the palm of my hand.

"You felt it?" Su Qingxue asked.

Lin Fan hummed in agreement, but didn't move his hand away.

"Lin Fan." Su Qingxue turned around and faced him.

"What happened in the cave today made me realize how vulnerable a pregnant woman is. I couldn't run, I couldn't fight, and even squatting down was difficult."

"When that man in gray stood in front of me, all I could do was lean against the wall."

She tugged at Lin Fan's sleeve.

"Zhi Xia shielded me, Xiao Qian shielded me, Wu Hui shielded me, Zhou Kai shielded me. These people all risked their lives to protect me."

"If you can't come back in time..."

She didn't continue.

Lin Fan withdrew his hand from her stomach and looked at her.

"And Song Ya." Su Qingxue lowered her head. "She was so scared today that her face turned white. She was hiding behind a rock, clutching her stomach and afraid to move."

"She's carrying your child too, don't you think about Song Ya's feelings?"

"Lin Fan, to be selfish, I don't want anything to happen to the baby in my belly, and I especially don't want the baby to be born without a father."

"I understand."

"You know you still want to go?" Su Qingxue looked up. "If you leave, Zhou Kai will be the only one left who can fight."

"Wu Hui has a back injury, and Xiao Qian has broken ribs. The two of them together can't even stand up straight. There are only a few bodyguards left in the Su family, and some of them can't even hold a gun straight."

"If you go to see the doctor, who will guard this place?"

Lin Fan fell silent.

Su Qingxue continued, "I know you want to find out about that ability, and I do too, but it's not possible right now."

She pulled Lin Fan's hand over and placed it back on her stomach.

"Wait until I give birth to the baby."

"After I give birth, once I recover, I'll put Song Ya and the others into my spatial dimension, and then we'll all go with you for ten or eight days. But for now, you have to stay here."

Lin Fan looked down at his hand on her stomach, then pressed down a little harder than before.

The little guy seemed to know that it was his dad touching him.

Lin Fan remained silent; the doctor's lab was just a few kilometers away.

It contained medicine, data, answers about Su Qingxue's abilities, and the whole truth about the orc mutation. He would get his hands on these things sooner or later.

Lin Fan withdrew his hand, and Su Qingxue looked up at him. "Qingxue, perhaps we really can leave this island."

After those words were spoken, the sound of the wind inside the cave became much clearer.

Su Qingxue didn't answer immediately; a look of surprise flashed in her eyes first.

She had been waiting for these words for far too long; he knew beforehand that sailing out was unrealistic.

But if Lin Fan were to say "I can leave," it would sound much more realistic.

But that bit of joy lasted only a moment before being overshadowed by worry.

She knew Lin Fan was going to find the doctor and then use coercion and bribery to get the solution.

Looking at her expression, Lin Fan already guessed the outcome.

"Qingxue, the solution I'm talking about doesn't rely on that doctor; the solution I'm talking about relies on you."

"Me?" Su Qingxue pointed at herself in disbelief.

"Yes!" Lin Fan replied.

"But don't get too excited yet, I just have a guess."

Su Qingxue sat back down on the rock, and Lin Fan sat down next to her, their shoulders about half a fist's distance apart.

The cave still smelled of medicine, and the stench of blood had not completely dissipated.

The sounds of moving corpses could be heard from outside from time to time, dull and chaotic.

Lin Fan was not injured, but he was on edge the whole time.

Today's events made him realize one thing: Su Qingxue's abilities are far from exhausted.

Before Su Qingxue could ask, Lin Fan spoke up.

"Qingxue, when you used to refresh supplies, did you ever think about this?"

"What is it?"

"Where did those things come from?"

Su Qingxue frowned, carefully recalling each update in the past.

Bottled water, canned goods, medicine, and tools that suddenly appeared.

If she concentrates, an invisible space will appear before her eyes.

No one can touch what's inside; only she can take it out.

"I don't know." She shook her head. "I only know that it can be taken out."

"But I don't know where I came from or why I'm in this so-called space."

Su Qingxue answered quickly, and then fell silent.

Lin Fan reached out and picked up a piece of pebbles from the ground. "That means you can only accept it for now."

"Receive what?"

"Receiving things falling from the other end of the receiving space."

Su Qingxue looked at him, her gaze gradually becoming serious.

Lin Fan tossed the rubble aside. "Those supplies you refresh every day—water, canned goods, medicine."

Lin Fan's gaze fell on Su Qingxue. "Is there a situation where your ability is a teleportation link?"

Su Qingxue sat on the rock, not responding, waiting for him to continue.

Lin Fan drew a line on the ground with his toes.

"The man in the gray trench coat during the day today, he can disappear and reappear out of thin air, and he can also teleport people from one place to another."

Lin Fan looked up at Su Qingxue.

Then he stomped on the scratches on the ground to smooth them out. "This teleportation link is tied to you at one end, which is stable. The other end is dangling outside."

"If you wander into the supermarket, you'll get canned goods. If you wander into the pharmacy, you'll get anti-inflammatory drugs." Lin Fan paused for a moment. "It's all about luck."

Su Qingxue's fingers tightened on her knees.

"Last month you brought out a half-empty bottle of mineral water, and another time it was a muddy shovel," Lin Fan added. "These things couldn't have been made out of thin air; they could only have been moved from somewhere else."

Su Qingxue recalled these details and realized that this pattern did indeed exist.

Lin Fan took a step forward.

"What if you could stabilize the other end?"
