Chapter 389 Zombie Pregnant?
Chapter 389 Zombie Pregnant?
While the level 3 zombie was still vomiting, a sudden exclamation came from outside, and everyone present instantly tensed up.
It's not their fault, because people surviving in the apocalypse would have died countless times long ago if they weren't vigilant.
Seeing a group of people in white coats hurrying in one direction, Chen Mingzhang called out to one of them. Upon hearing Chen Mingzhang's question, the person excitedly replied, "I've got it! I've got it!!"
"what?"
Chen Mingzhang couldn't understand what the man was saying for a moment. The man realized that he had lost his composure due to his excitement. After taking a deep breath, he still couldn't help but grin and say, "Just now, a zombie couple came in for a checkup because they weren't feeling well. And then they found out that the mother was pregnant!!"
Their medical team had been established for so long, and they had never heard of pregnancy in the post-apocalyptic world. Not only among zombies and superhumans, but even human reproduction had become more difficult after the apocalypse.
Another reason is to avoid having a child at this time, so people deliberately use contraception.
Rumors have been circulating within the base that the aliens will gradually retreat to their planet, so for the time being, everyone is more focused on building the base and hasn't considered anything else.
On one hand, there was a sense of disbelief and vigilance, and on the other hand, there was a lingering numbness from the aftermath of the war. But when the news came, the entire medical team was excited.
Not only them, but also Chen Mingzhang and Xavier and others were anxious to go and see. Since the apocalypse, they had not heard of any pregnancy, and they had been vaguely worried about it.
But now, hearing this news, besides curiosity, I also feel a bit of anticipation, and I want to go and see for myself with that excited nurse.
Even the third-tier zombies who were vomiting on the ground temporarily forgot about the nauseating scene. Driven by curiosity, they tried to stand up straight and followed behind them to take a look.
The female zombie who tested positive for pregnancy was among the first group of zombies to receive the elimination drug. She and her husband both became zombies in the early stages of the apocalypse and were subsequently controlled by Xie Hongyang.
But they were lucky; they actually survived until they joined the Nanling Base, and both of their abilities reached the third level. After choosing to clear the toxins from their minds, they were both relieved and heartbroken.
The two fooled around for several days after that night. Because they had become level three zombies, they had a lot of energy and stayed together. However, not long after, they were attacked by alien races.
They also tried their best to resist the alien race, and luckily they all survived. However, the female zombie always felt that her stomach was a little uncomfortable. The male zombie was very close to her, so he accompanied her to the check-up.
To everyone's surprise, the test results shocked them all: she was pregnant!
The male zombie was so excited that he asked Sheng Xue incoherently, "Really? We didn't do it that many times. We concentrated in that one week before, maybe only a few dozen times. But, but didn't you say that it's very difficult to reproduce after advancing?"
Sheng Xue paused in her notes, feeling that some patients really didn't need to explain everything to her so clearly.
"It just means the probability will be lower, not that it's impossible. The current psychic test shows that there is indeed an embryo in your wife's belly. Oh, no, it's not your wife yet. The data shows that she is still unmarried."
Hearing the first part of what was said, the male zombie was still confused, but when he heard the last part, he excitedly grabbed the female zombie's hand, "How could that be! We got married before the apocalypse, we're a legal couple!"
Sheng Xue calmly replied, "The base has now introduced a marriage protection policy. You are free to choose whether to remain in a marital relationship or to dissolve your marriage. If both of you are willing, you can get a marriage certificate. This will provide more welfare protection for your child after birth."
The two zombies were clearly intrigued by the news. After hearing this, they decided to inquire about it later, as they were more worried about the child in her womb.
The female zombie touched her stomach in distress, "Doctor, what kind of baby will I give birth to?"
Sheng Xue calmly looked at the tense couple who had just spoken, "You two are both zombies, so your offspring will also be zombies."
Upon hearing this, the two zombies, who were once human, visibly changed their expressions. The male zombie asked with some worry, "Will the children born be like us before?"
After being injected with the cleansing agent, they have gradually regained their human appearance. Apart from the difference between the crystal core in their bodies and the ability core of other ability users, there is not much difference.
Sheng Xue had seen the memories of the Zerg and also read related records in the books shared by their Parasitic Flower Mother clan.
"No, the reason you were like that before was because the nuclear source had not been completely integrated into this planet. It left some impurities that you could not digest in your bodies, which is why you became like that."
“Your child was conceived after you cleared away the impurities, so there are no indigestible substances in the body. Therefore, the child should have the appearance of a normal baby at birth. The difference is that there will be a crystal nucleus in the body.”
Humans are now a single race; whether they are zombies or superhumans, they are all human.
Hearing Sheng Xue's words, they breathed a sigh of relief. Sheng Xue knew their worries and continued to reassure them, "According to the current examination, the baby is very healthy, and the birth cycle is no different from normal, so there's no need to worry."
"You are all third-tier zombies. The child should have superpowers after birth. You don't need to worry too much. It is different from ordinary children. It can withstand superpowers during its development period."
"The child's superpower will most likely be the superpower of one of your corpses, or it may be a product of fusion. Both are possible. As for the food the child will eat after birth, the hospital will prepare it according to its nutritional needs. You can buy it directly, or you can buy the raw materials according to the list and make it yourself."
After hearing these precautions, the young zombie parents' hearts gradually calmed down, and even the usually stern Sheng Xue smiled at them.
"Congratulations, the baby in your belly will most likely be the first child born in the base."
Whether for research or commemorative purposes, there will definitely be a lot of attention and preferential treatment. After hearing this, the two of them smiled and had new expectations for the child and the future.
At the top floor of the base, Lu Yize, who hadn't shown his face much, raised an eyebrow when he sensed this with his mental power. He suspected that the child's survival was most likely related to the previous nuclear source explosion.
He glanced at Jiang Yue, who had been imbued with many supernatural abilities by him, and remained silent for a few seconds.
Just in case, I should wear it whenever I need to in the future.
