Chapter 89 They Won't Have Children
Pei Hening waited for a while, bought some ingredients, and gave them to Chu Xuange, but no one came out to confirm the news.
"002 Pay attention to two things: First, whether any players mention 'having a baby' in the public chat; second, when players share baby supplies in the public chat, what are the specific quantities or the details of what they were obtained."
002: "Yes, Master."
Pei Hening took out the tattered book and continued reading. Just as she opened the book, Chu Xuange called. She answered the phone and glanced at him.
He was wearing a black vest and matching trousers, fiddling with his flowerpots.
She asked, "What are you doing?"
When Chu Xuange saw that she had answered the call, he said, "I'll make a little modification. Baby, are you reading? I'll come and read with you as soon as I'm done."
Pei Hening nodded after seeing that he had almost finished.
A short while later, Chu Xuange washed his hands and sat down in the living room to read the book he had borrowed from the library.
Half an hour later, after he finished reading, he saw that Pei Hening was still reading attentively, so he went to prepare dinner.
Pei Hening watched one-sixth of it and felt her head starting to throb.
There was too much content, too many different things, and the cultural systems were also different. She needed time to digest what she had seen that day.
She immediately closed the book and went to open the box.
Food ingredients, instant food, water, sun protection, clothing, medicine, and some vehicle upgrade materials.
She prepared the ingredients and gave them to Chu Xuange: "Gege, I just saw someone in the chat channel get baby formula."
He looked up at her and explained, "You mean, after being pulled onto the highway to survive, were there any children born? Yes, quite a few, since there were pregnant women among those pulled in."
"As for what will happen after the child is born, I don't know."
Chu Xuange genuinely didn't know.
In his previous life's timeline, he spent the first two years searching for Pei Hening. After finally finding her and dealing with the people who had bullied her, just when he thought life could return to normal, another unexpected event occurred...
He had no interest in these trivial matters from beginning to end. It wasn't his and Pei Hening's child, so what did it have to do with him whether it lived or died?
Chu Xuange lowered his eyes, his expression inscrutable.
—He and the baby will not have children.
He would not allow this hopeless and terrible thing to happen until he was out of this damn highway and struggling to survive.
He hopes his baby will be strong, sharp, greedy, and ambitious, like a wildfire that can start a prairie fire and illuminate the darkness!
Instead of paying the price for a man's despicable behavior when in danger, she retreats to a corner to have children.
——
Twenty-four days of survival on the highway.
Everything remains the same.
——
Twenty-five days of survival on the highway.
Pei Hening triggered the Witch's passive ability in the morning and obtained a fish tank-shaped item called [Fish More].
[Fish More] (D-grade): A salvation for air force veterans. Three small fish (of varying types) automatically spawn every morning at 5 AM and can be used for cooking.
She had just finished checking the props when Chu Xuange called her.
"Baby, I've found the entrance to Vice City."
Pei Hening: "Wait for me, I'll be right there."
She was going to cast a [Good Luck] spell on Chu Xuange. She hadn't dared to use this skill much lately, just to prevent him from triggering the entrance to Sin City at any time.
Pei Hening used the GPS tracking card and drove the car to Chu Xuange's side thirteen minutes later.
She looked around but didn't see the so-called entrance to the Sin City.
She got out of the car and walked to the window, where Chu Xuange rolled it down.
He laughed and said, "Baby, you're still curious? You don't have any sin points, so of course you can't see it."
Pei Hening gave him a "good omen," placing her hand on the car window and repeatedly warning him, "Sin City doesn't sound very kind, you have to be careful."
Chu Xuange grabbed her hand, rubbed his face against hers, and stared at her with a lingering gaze: "My darling is so good, I'll be careful."
He added earnestly, "I estimate I won't be back until 6 p.m., so send me a message and make sure you miss me."
Pei Hening nodded emphatically: "Okay."
In the past, Chu Xuange would watch her drive away, but this time it was Pei Hening's turn to see him off.
Pei Hening didn't get back into the car until the RV had disappeared from sight.
002: "Master, someone is selling a hybrid-specific generator."
Pei Hening perked up. It was indeed a good omen. He had been collecting them for Chu Xuange for several days without seeing anyone selling them, but now someone was selling them.
She opened the chat channel and immediately saw the player selling generators, who was someone she knew before.
[Seal, do you understand?]: Selling hybrid-powered generators. Exchange for copper coins. Don't bother if you don't have money.
[Twilight Coast]: Is this thing really that valuable? It's just an upgrade material, isn't it?
[Lamb of Laziness]: Don't make it sound so easy. I've never even seen this before. It must be expensive. *lying down*
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: What's going on with the player who got scammed by the NPC last time? There's been no news for so long.
[The escaped mermaid]: I have that person as a friend, and I can confirm that they are not dead yet.
[Shark Ten Years]: Sometimes no news is the best news.
[I can bury you in money]: @SharkTenYears is so philosophical, applause.jpg
[Pinru's clothes]: How sarcastic! I'm dying of laughter.
Pei Hening opened the private message from [Seal, do you understand?].
[DibiDibi]: How much does a dedicated hybrid power generator cost?
[Do you know what a seal is?]: Boss, 5000 copper coins.
She recalled the last transaction, frowned, and tentatively typed a few words.
[Dibi Dibi]: 2500 copper coins!
[Do you know what a seal is?]: Deal!
[Do you understand, Seal?] He quickly sent over the transaction information.
Pei Hening felt numb; it was that feeling again.
She silently transferred 2,500 copper coins to this player.
After receiving the hybrid power generator, he immediately gifted it to Chu Xuange.
This person always agrees so quickly, making her seem clueless and unable to negotiate a good price.
She told 002 to keep driving, and took out the tattered book to continue reading.
A sentence that was half-ruined caught her attention, and she tried to understand it in her own words.
"Gods are born from civilization; civilization is immortal, so are gods. Civilization is never inanimate; it is a constantly growing living entity with bones and flesh. The world may perish, but civilization is immortal. To kill civilization..."
The following words were destroyed.
She felt a little regretful; her mind had already absorbed enough knowledge, and she needed to rest.
Putting away the tattered book, she rummaged through the refrigerator for a strawberry-flavored ice cream and turned on the car's music, intending to relax her mind.
A cheerful and lighthearted song eased her tense nerves a bit, but she couldn't understand a single word of the lyrics. She leaned closer to take a look and realized that the singer of the song was from an unfamiliar race—Chen Xin.
