Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Explosion? Bombing?
Just as Su Jin was curious about what that scene was all about, she felt an overwhelming sensation as if she was about to break through some barrier.
What is this?!
It was a critical moment for leveling up!
Su Jin no longer let her attention be distracted and focused all of it on her Special Ability...
The family within the space didn’t laugh loudly in the yard anymore; everyone huddled inside watching TV, extremely cautious not to disturb Su Jin’s leveling up next door.
Even Little Wu and Little Liu were brought inside by Li Xiuying, but maybe it was because they had grown up in the space, Little Wu and Little Liu were very sensible and played quietly in the room with Local Tyrant Gold.
"Little Wu and Little Liu are really worry-free, they even go to the bathroom on their own to deal with their business,"
Lin Tianhui said while knitting a sweater.
"Exactly, in this apocalypse, not only plants have become sentient, but animals seem to become sentient too, quite interesting,"
Li Xiuying said cheerfully, watching Little Wu and Little Liu. Now, she and Lin Yunguo were never bored in the space, and it would be even better if Xiao Jin and Xiao Hao could give them a grandchild or granddaughter sometime.
"Speaking of pregnancy, I find it strange too. It seems like the pregnancy rate is extremely low in this apocalypse; it’s rare to see a pregnant woman in our hospital,"
Lin Tianhui said, although she had heard from Su Jin before that the birth rate of newborns would be very low in the apocalypse, she never thought it would be this low.
"That’s true, when we were in the store, we heard those gossip-lovers talk about trivial gossip; they all said that the women in the shantytowns don’t need to take any birth control measures anymore, because no one gets pregnant,"
Lin Tianzhen also said with a blushing face among a few women.
"They say this natural disaster is the most deadly, but if that’s true, I think this aspect is the most deadly to humanity,"
Li Xiuying sighed.
"Grandma, why is that?"
A child’s voice came through, none of the women noticed when Mao Qiqi had also joined them, this subject was still too premature for her.
"Go watch TV,"
Lin Tianzhen tried to send her daughter away, but Li Xiuying felt it was alright and said to Mao Qiqi, "No matter what, children represent hope. If there are fewer and fewer children in the future, entering a vicious cycle, wouldn’t it be more despairing than zombies besieging a city?"
Li Xiuying’s words left everyone silent, indeed, if humanity became childless, then, sooner or later, human society would face collapse.
Seeing that the subject was too heavy, no one continued to delve deeper into it.
If it had been earlier, Lin Tianhui certainly would have urged Su Jin and Lu Hao to have children sooner, but now everyone understood that such things were influenced by the environment, and could not be forced, so she hadn’t put much pressure on them for the past year.
They could only hope things would take their natural course!
...
That night, Lin Cheng and Huang Yunxiang slept outside the space.
Because Su Jin was leveling up, she couldn’t see outside the space, so the couple volunteered to "stand watch."
But just around midnight, an ear-splitting explosion came from within the base, scaring them into quickly getting dressed and pulling Mao Qiqi out of the space.
"Uncle, there are no zombies,"
Mao Qiqi rubbed her eyes and said after sensing their surroundings on the porch. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
The couple then felt reassured, but if it wasn’t zombies, what had exploded?
At that moment, Guo Yang and a few others from the auxiliary residence also got dressed and walked into the main house, it had to be said that every member of the Heart Talk Team was very vigilant.
Even Lian Jiyue came down from upstairs.
"It must have been the Weapon Research Institute,"
Mao Qiqi observed her mini-map and said, now in the base only that location had a lot of people gathered, perhaps something had malfunctioned?
"That’s good, scared me to death,"
Guo Yang said, they all thought it was zombies coming.
"It didn’t disturb Su Jin’s advancement, did it?"
Liao Yifan looked worriedly upstairs, but it didn’t sound like there were any unusual noises, so she probably wasn’t disturbed.
"Xiao Hao is inside watching over Xiao Jin, it should be fine, everyone go back to sleep,"
Huang Yunxiang urged, she was actually a bit worried that Yifan and the others might discover something.
However, the others clearly didn’t think much of it, upon hearing there was no issue, their previous sleepiness quickly returned, and Shi Jin almost fell asleep on the couch again—it was only after Yin Chengtian kicked him awake that they all returned to the guest house.
After Mao Qiqi and Lin Cheng had also returned to their rooms, Lian Jiyue found himself completely sleepless.
Qiqi said it was from the direction of the Weapon Research Institute.
...
At the Weapon Research Institute at this time, Moli looked grievously at the crowd rushing over, even Liang Jiuhui had come.
It seemed she and Lian Ze had caused another mishap...
She hadn’t expected that feature to be so powerful; looking forward from the room they were currently in, the entire Weapon Research Institute had been blasted open...
And the explosion earlier had been too loud.
However, Lian Ze seemed completely unfazed, still seriously modifying the experiment program on a laptop.
"This, this, was it this robot that did it?"
The elderly Ding He looked at the giant towering up to the ceiling in front of him, amazed and at a loss for words.
He was old and naturally a light sleeper, when the explosion sounded earlier, he had his people bring him over immediately.
The Weapon Research Institute was already crowded, yet everyone’s gaze was drawn to the awe-inspiring, huge mecha.
"Heaven... It’s not an explosion, it’s a bombardment..."
"A Transformer?!"
"I thought these only existed in sci-fi movies..."
"So impressive, so impressive"
Liang Jiuhui felt that these were the only words he could speak now, he hadn’t been to the Weapon Research Institute recently and thought something serious had happened tonight, what a "pleasing surprise" it turned out to be!
"This wall..."
Moli asked as she jumped down from the mecha’s locker.
She had only followed Lian Ze’s request to sit inside and try it out; she hadn’t expected that the button Lian Ze told her to press would be the attack button, and now, they had punctured through the Weapon Research Institute.
"No worries, an Earth Element Ability User will come to fix it tomorrow,"
Liang Jiuhui didn’t mean to blame her at all, caressing the towering and mighty mecha, its silvery-gray surface endowed the entire mecha with a mechanical feel, and those flexible-looking joints and smooth lines...
He really, really wanted to try sitting in it!
"Not yet, Rong Yuan needs to come tomorrow to help adjust it,"
Lian Ze replied without even looking up.
"Okay, Mr. Lian, let me know if you need anything else,"
Liang Jiuhui’s heart was surging with fervor. Which man doesn’t have a dream of machinery? He never imagined that Iron Man and Transformers, once seen in movies during his childhood, would become reality in this era!
