This was because she was pregnant with twins. When Lin Xin's month grew bigger, her stomach would swell up day by day. By the time he was almost eight months old, it was already midsummer in Beijing and the heat was unbearable. The maternity dress that Gu Cheng had originally prepared for her seemed a little nervous at this moment.

It was too cold in the air-conditioned room. Later on, Gu Cheng simply swapped out an entire piece of silk from the base's black market. No one knew how many items he used to exchange for it, but he was still in pretty good condition while touching the materials. He believed that it was definitely not cheap.

Nowadays, everyone was used to directly buying clothes to wear. The moment Gu Cheng had been brought back, it had truly been difficult for a whole family of women to deal with him. In the end, it was still the two grandmothers who were smart. They picked out the largest maternity dress, cut it open along the gap, and compared it to a piece of fabric with silk. The edges were relaxed by ten centimeters, and then sewn together by hand. The first test subject was rather thick. Fortunately, he was wearing loose clothes, so he still needed to tie the belt around his waist. After a while, it would be perfect.

Perhaps it was because a new life was about to arrive, but the people who were used to seeing death in the apocalypse all had a faint sense of expectation and excitement. After making the dress once, the experienced women threw themselves into the craze of making clothes and made six dresses for Lin Xin. In fact, Lin Xin wanted to say that since the weather was so hot, making three dresses was enough for her to change.

However, these two women who were already full of enthusiasm were unable to stop them. After a few tests, they became more and more comfortable making dresses. At first, they were the same style, but gradually, Grandmother Sun began to embroider on the corner of her clothes. They did not waste any of the leftover scraps of clothing. The smaller pieces were cut into handkerchiefs, while the larger pieces were made into children's blouses and shorts. He also made a set of small clothes for each of the unborn babies, which he would be able to wear when the baby was born.

A few of the neighboring families had frequently seen Lin Xin being led around by Gu Cheng in the villa area, so they all knew that she was about to give birth. During the time when the zombies surrounded the city, they had seen how valiant this family was, and they were happy to take this opportunity to befriend them. When they met each other, they would talk about Mom's Scripture, send some clothes worn by their own children, and one family even specially sent them a pillow made from silkworm — it was the snack of a silkworm.

A few days ago, she had heard Grandma Liu sigh that the clothes that Little Keke and Little Lu were wearing were too big and couldn't be worn by her younger brother or sister. Kids should wear all sorts of clothes; one was able to benefit from their fortune, while the other one was a little softer, and wouldn't harm the tender skin of a child.

The doctors in the hospital were also preparing for labor, because pregnant women who carried twins were often born prematurely, and most of them were between 33 and 37 weeks pregnant. Lin Xin's month was already considered quite large, so she could start at any time. However, what was strange was that they had entered the end of the eighth month of pregnancy. Lin Xin's image was stable, and the one in her stomach hadn't shown any signs of movement. Everything was normal. The two little guys had developed well in their mother's stomach, and they didn't have the uneven twin sizes that normal pregnant women had. One was big while the other was small.

It was rare to see someone like Doctor Li after being a doctor for so many years. In the beginning, he still had the mindset of taking the money to do things, but after that, it was no longer Gu Cheng and his wife who were looking for him. Every day before going to work, he would pay a visit to their home to see Lin Xin and ask for a safe channel.

When Lin Xin's stomach was so big that even Gu Cheng felt his heart palpitating when he saw it, Old Doctor Li couldn't help but start to worry. Her stomach was truly too big. If the child was too big, it would be easy for her to give birth. He had repeatedly requested Gu Cheng to control Lin Xin's diet and not let her eat too much. Gu Cheng and Lin Xin both felt wronged by this. She had already eaten very little. Even though they split the food into five meals, each meal was still only half the original amount. Every time Lin Xin was starved to the point that tears would fall from her eyes, Gu Cheng would hardened his heart and turn away. Even so, Lin Xin's stomach was still growing larger and larger. By the time she entered the forty-second week of pregnancy, she was already at the peak of her lifespan, so she still didn't have any symptoms of unloading the goods.

Every day at work, they would ask if Old Doctor Li, Lin Xin, was going to have a baby. Liu Shi also came to their house every day, just waiting to have his grandson as a granddaughter, not to mention the candidates for father in the special team.

By the 43rd week, Lin Xin had followed the doctor's advice and climbed the stairs for several days, but her stomach still didn't move. Just when everyone was trying to persuade them to just dig up the womb, her amniotic fluid finally broke. By chance, Yan Binghui and the rest were there as well. All the men in the room were flustered. Some wanted to run out to the hospital to report, while others wanted to help a pregnant woman. In the end, it was still his dad who was able to keep his cool and shouted at the others who were causing trouble. He carefully picked up Lin Xin and teleported all the way to the hospital.

Everyone who was left behind by him couldn't help but laugh bitterly. That's right, who else could run faster than him?! Everyone hurriedly followed him out the door. The Liu and Sun Clans left the two of them at home to stew chicken soup. Although Gu Cheng had prepared some in advance and feared that they would run out of water temporarily, it was still better for them to prepare some in advance.

But before the simmering chicken soup could heat up, the large group of people returned. The leader Gu Cheng was still holding Lin Xin in his arms, while behind him Yan Binghui and the Ying Sutra each had a baby in their hands. Inside the soft blanket were two almost identical little faces, their dark eyes staring at nothing.

He had seen people who were born fast, but he had never seen anyone born this fast! If they hadn't personally witnessed Lin Xin being pushed into the delivery room, they wouldn't have believed that in less than twenty minutes, the two children would have been born. Each of them weighed more than six pounds, and such large bodies were considered rare among twins. Moreover, they were not as red and wrinkled as normal newborns. These two boys had been especially energetic since they were born, and their round eyes seemed to be able to see people, constantly staring at the people around them.

None of the doctors and midwives had ever seen such a wondrous term twin before. If not for Gu Cheng's nervous expression, who had been keeping watch over the delivery room all this time, they would definitely have surrounded the babies for research and discussion. When they saw Lin Xin, who could run and jump when she finished her production, their views on the situation were once again refreshed. Although it was easy to recover from parturition compared to parturition, this was the first time they saw a pregnant woman with such a high level of mental health.

Gu Cheng saw that Lin Xin was fine and the two children were clearly healthy. The two of them didn't want to stay in the hospital and even though the hospital had already prepared a VIP ward for them, they directly carried the child home. Lin Xin was actually able to walk, but Gu Cheng insisted on not letting her fall to the ground before he carried her back.

After hearing everything, Granny Liu laughed and praised Lin Xin for a while. In the eyes of an old man, being born was a sign of fortune. When the two families looked closely at the two children, they saw that they had been hugged uncomfortably by Ying. They didn't make a sound, and were all surprised at the good temper of the two children. They were sure to bring them along in the future.
