In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the base was surrounded by zombies. Fortunately, under Gu Cheng's guidance, the specific team of mental adepts had cleared out most of the high-level mental variant zombies in the vicinity. The remaining zombies were headless, so they didn't cause any major problems. The other factions also learned from Yuan Weizheng and established a good relationship with Liu Shi. They sent people to the south gate of Liu Shi to retrieve their knowledge and used modified crossbows to eliminate zombies. In addition to the military's defensive capabilities, the base's mission hall also shared the task of killing zombies with the public, and gave them a very generous amount of credits. In a short time, the hiring team for the ranged weapons had made a huge profit, causing everyone else to be filled with envy.

Under the cooperation of the military and survivors, the danger of the zombie siege was slowly reduced, and the hearts of the people in the base also began to calm down. From what people saw with their own eyes, they could see that a million zombies wasn't an impossible feat. As long as they worked hard and continued to clear away the zombies every day, even if the ten-meter high wall didn't collapse, they still had a chance of winning, and they still had hope for the future.

This was something that the decision makers of the base had not expected at all. Their original intention was only to use the power of the common people to ease the pressure on the military. To have such a pleasant surprise, they were happy to see it happen.

At the same time, the secret of the crystal nucleus spread on a small scale just like in his previous life. Other than teams like Liu Shi's in Beijing, the rest of the Adepts relied on their awakened abilities. As a result, the upper class Adepts, led by Yuan Yingying, all knew that the crystal in the zombie's brain could help them increase their strength. Unfortunately, even if they killed a zombie, they wouldn't be able to retrieve their crystal cores. After all, outside the wall was full of zombies. Although the crystal core was important, their lives were also very important.

It was at this time that Liu Shi started the business of collecting crystal cores. He only rented four members of the contestants for two hours a day. The rent was half of the zombie cores he harvested and 300 pounds of food. If it's too expensive, then forget it. In any case, their Adepts can still go there in the middle of the night to collect the crystals, so they won't leave a single one for you. The big bosses who were angry with Liu Shi at the beginning forcefully refused to rent it, but when they heard the news that Huiying had already signed a long-term cooperation contract with Liu Shi, it was too late for regret. Once again, they were seized by the Yuan Family brat.

They had no choice but to look for the Yuan family. According to their knowledge, it was only a matter of half an hour for Liu Shi's men to obtain the crystal core. The remaining time was a waste, so they might as well sublet it to them. Yuan Huiying did not say anything bad about their proposal, but her face did not show any trace of it. She made the high and scary offer of renting an extra hour to the Zhu Family. She hated the other families to the point that their teeth itched, but there was nothing she could do about it. It wasn't that they hadn't tried searching for other mental adepts in the base, but it was a pity their ranks were too low and their mental energy couldn't reach the pile of zombies at the bottom of the wall.

This action made the spiritual adepts in the base a little bit of "Luoyang paper expensive" for a while, and made them very popular. It was the first time that the members of the team had such an ability. The rest of the team felt envious and resentful.

In the eyes of the base leaders, the million zombies surrounding the city was no longer a headache for the hunters. Instead, they became their prey.

While everyone in the base was beginning to smile, something joyful happened to Gu Cheng and Lin Xin's family. Four days ago, when Lin Xin was shooting zombies at the southern gate as usual, her lower abdomen suddenly twitched, and her face paled. Gu Cheng had thought that something had happened to her, but in the next second, he saw Lin Xin's face full of excitement as she told him in a low voice that her long-missed aunt had finally returned.

Her body was starting to return to normal, which meant that their wish to have a baby could be fulfilled. Gu Cheng happily held her up and spun in a circle. He was immediately stopped by Lin Xin, whose head was also spinning and stomach was hurting.

What Lin Xin didn't tell him was that he just turned the tables on her and she was thrown out by him. How embarrassing. Looking at her pale face, Gu Cheng realized that the most important thing was for her to lie down and rest. Yan Binghui cursed out a few times below. This reckless man had thought that Gu Cheng was some sort of bug that had gotten into his head. Carrying Lin Xin back home in broad daylight, this man had truly valued women and friends to the point of making one's blood boil.

Fortunately, the Liu Family had collected quite a number of tampons at high speeds previously. After Lin Xin had dealt with the emergency, she had been wrapped up by Gu Cheng and put onto the bed together with the blanket.

Because she came back after more than a year, Lin Xin had never had any problems with the dysmenorrhea before, but this time she had suffered quite a bit. With a pained heart, Gu Cheng touched her chilled cheeks, "It's a pity that there's no ginger tea or red bean soup. Do you want to drink more hot water?"

Lin Xin was in so much pain that she wanted to die. She laughed at his tone, "I am already more fortunate than many people outside. You have done very well. My stomach is a little cold, can you help me cover it? "

The room was heated, but it was not warm enough for a while. Upon hearing her say so, Gu Cheng was no longer in a hurry to boil some hot water. Taking off his jacket, he crawled into bed and used his big, hot hands to cover her lower abdomen, gently rubbing it.

"Are you feeling better?" He lowered his head and touched her cheek with his nose, dissatisfied. Her face was still cold, devoid of any heat.

"It's better now. Lie down a bit more, the blanket is a bit drafty."

When Gu Cheng heard this, he wrapped her up even more tightly. He accompanied her for a while, conversing with her for over ten minutes, before touching her cheek once more. Only then did he finally feel some heat.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but his hands did not stop. He gently rubbed her soft belly clockwise. Soon, there would be a baby for him. His gaze turned soft again as he looked up at Lin Xin. Her eyebrows were relaxed, her face was calm, and she was fast asleep.

Her full lips became rosy again, and two blobs of red appeared on her cheeks. Her two small fan-like eyelashes were covered with thick black curls, as if she was a sleeping beauty in a fairy tale. Gu Cheng had already seen her sleeping like this countless times. He knew himself that he was not someone who was addicted to looks. However, every time he saw Lin Xin sleeping peacefully in his embrace, his heart sank further.

Maybe that's what they said, that the feelings don't exist, that they go deeper. For such a beautiful dream, he wished that he would never wake up from it in this life.
