I'm so pregnant in the apocalypse

Chapter 21 Cooperation
The arrival of the extreme cold caught people off guard.

More than two hundred corpses have been carried out from Longteng Base.

And even though the floods were raging before, the temperature has always been stable in the 20s.

There was no extra clothing for the cold, let alone heating equipment.

In just one morning, the temperature had already dropped to minus sixty degrees.

It's windy and snowy outside, and you can freeze into ice sculptures if you go outside.

If food reserves were not enough, more people would die.

"Fortunately we were prepared."

Jing Ming was dressed like a big bear and gathered around the stove to keep warm.

Except around the stove, the rest of the room was cold.

The doors and windows have been frozen, so the wind can't get in.

There is plenty of food and water available.

The clothing and fuel to keep out the cold are enough for three to five months.

Chu Nian decided to "cat winter".

She even felt that time passed too slowly and it would be better if the baby was born as soon as possible.

What she is looking forward to is the reward given by the pomegranate.

Han Yi came up from the first floor, carrying two large packages in his hands.

"There aren't many things, it's just my entry fee."

He put everything on the floor.

It includes everything from food, clothing, and drink.

"You have already become my bodyguard, so there is no need for these."

Chu Nian didn't know when Han Yi got so many things.

"That's for outsiders."

"Actually, it was me who caused you trouble."

"This is a constant-temperature material. It's not much. It's enough to make clothes for you and the baby born in the future."

Han Yi took out a roll of black fabric from the package.

"As long as the temperature outside does not continue to drop, the temperature can be kept at 25 degrees."

"You are most afraid of the cold when you are pregnant with the child. If the child is born, it is also the time when the child's resistance is the lowest."

Han Yi was able to produce such a thing, which proved that his identity was extraordinary.

"Are you from a government base?"

Chu Nian did not take the cloth.

"That's right, but I'm free now."

Han Yi knew Chu Nian's character and would probably be kicked out if he continued to hide it.

"What exactly are you looking for in Longteng Base?"

Chu Nian has always been very curious.

"Energy stone."

The three words Han Yi spat out were very unfamiliar to both Chu Nian and Jing Ming.

"Energy stones are the key to building a habitable space for humans in the future."

"Scientists speculate that the apocalypse will not stop in a short time, and there may be more disasters in the future."

"If humans want to survive and avoid the demise of civilization, they must build shelters."

"And the key to providing energy conversion for the shelter is the energy stone."

"Neither electric nor nuclear power is sufficient to sustain the shelter for a long time."

"Finding the energy stone is the key to the continuation of mankind."

Han Yi looked at Chu Nian and Jing Ming.

"In fact, before the end of the world, governments of various countries discovered energy stones."

"It's just that they are used in other fields."

"It was only after the end of the world that scientists discovered the most critical role of energy stones."

"Actually, our powers are also related to the energy stones."

Han Yi actually took the risk to say it.

After all, ordinary survivors don't know about the energy stone.

"You followed us here because you want to use our hands to help you find the whereabouts of the energy stone?"

Chu Nian immediately grasped the key point.

"Originally, the government base where I was located had three energy stones to maintain the operation of the base." "But the traitor stole one and the other one was damaged."

"I have traced the energy stone all the way here, and I am basically certain that the one that was stolen is at the Soaring Dragon Base."

"There is a forbidden area in Longteng Base that outsiders cannot enter."

"I suspect the energy stone may be hidden here."

"As an outsider, I will be wary of others, but you are different, especially Jing Ming."

Han Yi's showdown was expected by Chu Nian, but the content was something she didn't expect.

"No, I won't let Jing Ming take risks."

Chu Nian refused immediately.

"Take your things back and you can go."

Chu Nian directly wanted to drive Han Yi away, even though he was a "reservist".

Even the supplies he took out were very precious.

No matter what, she would not sacrifice Jingming's safety.

"Although Jing Ming is now E-level and a child of the Jing family, he is still not taken seriously by the base."

"Once someone finds him trespassing in a forbidden area, you will kill him!"

When Chu Nian looked at Han Yi, he was already full of anger.

Unexpectedly, Jing Ming stopped Chu Nian.

"Nian Nian, I am willing."

"Han Yi promised that if he finds the energy stone, he can change his place in the shelter."

"Surviving in the last days is difficult. I don't have any skills. I just want you and your children to live a stable life."

Obviously, Jing Ming had known this for a long time.

Chu Nian's eyebrows rose, "Jing Ming! If something happens to you, how can you let me enjoy peace?"

"And we don't know what this shelter actually looks like?"

"How do you know that our life will not be good in the future?"

"Before you made your own decision, have you ever thought about whether this is what I want?"

Chu Nian was angry and uncomfortable.

She has always known Jing Ming's humbleness.

She is not a soft-tempered person either, and the encouragement she gives him is limited.

"Is it because if Han Yi doesn't say anything today, you won't be ready to tell me?"

Chu Nian stood up and his expression quickly returned to calm.

She calmed down, leaving Jing Ming panicked.

"No, no, no, Nian Nian, I am, I don't know how to tell you."

"Don't be angry, I just want you and the baby to have a good time."

What Jing Ming fears most is that Chu Nian will be angry.

“There are so many ways to make life better for me and my baby.”

"If you die, you won't be able to see whether I am good or bad."

Chu Nian sighed.

Faced with Jing Ming, who was dedicated to her, she could not be ruthless no matter what.

"Nian Nian~ Let me try, I want to prove to everyone that your man is not a waste!"

Jing Ming grabbed Chu Nian's hand and looked into her eyes seriously and firmly.

Chu Nian looked at Han Yi with sharp eyes. She had every reason to suspect that it was Jing Ming who was bewitched by him.

"Nian Nian, you actually misunderstood some things. It was not Han Yi who bewitched me, but what I asked for myself."

"Han Yi is from the government base. Even if you don't go to the shelter, we can exchange the energy stones for more things."

"Maybe there will be some place where we can use him in the future."

"Actually, I've been to that forbidden area once."

"I'm 80% sure that I can bring Han Yi in."

Jing Ming's clear eyes contained confidence and excitement.

He needs something to prove himself.

If a man can't protect his wife and children, what use is he?

"Are you sure?" Chu Nian is always worried.
