Doomsday Master

"Next to your second mission." The Desperate Puppet appeared in front of Yan Chengjiu who was training on time. "The survival time is one year."

"Is the second world just asking for survival?" Yan Chengjiu asked after changing his clothes.

"Before the final trial of the newcomer, you only need to ensure that you survive." Desperate Puppet said affirmatively, "but starting from the second world, players with the same mission will enter."

"I see." Yan Chengjiu nodded in response.

Soon, Yan Cheng's old body was surrounded by a cloud of golden light again, and soon disappeared without a trace.

On the other side, Judith glanced at the absent-minded JOKER secretly, and suddenly an idea came into his mind.

JOKER has never looked for Meihua J, and this time there was a candidate, which really scared her. According to JOKER, that was a newcomer who performed the mission for the first time. After careful calculation, today should be the day when the newcomer performed the second mission.

Although the trials of newcomers are not too difficult, it is often the time when the mortality rate is highest.

Starting from the second world, there will be several newcomers entering the same world at the same time. It is impossible to cooperate, because the survival time given by the desperate puppets is based on the threat of the world. For example, if the survival time is half a year, then in the last three days of the half year, the probability of death of the tasker will be as high as 80%! To spend the last few days, different props and abilities are bound to be needed.

The biggest way to ensure one's survival is to plunder other people's resources.

————————————————————————————

73 years ago, natural disasters continued. Floods, tsunamis, droughts, earthquakes, and mudslides have occurred frequently, and land and air pollution have increased, and a virus called "Pandora" has been born.

Pandora virus is mainly transmitted through air, water, blood, respiratory tract, **** and other channels. Once infected, all major organs in humans will fail within five days, and no medical physical treatment has been able to save the patient. Animals and plants are also suffering, they will only die faster than humans. Pandora virus rages arbitrarily, and it is constantly changing in the later stage, and it is impossible to prevent it. This disease caused a sharp drop of two-thirds of the world's population.

But in the same way, people are beginning to discover that the creatures in the ocean have not been attacked by Pandora virus. Gradually, more and more calls to migrate to the bottom of the sea. For ten years, in order not to be infected by Pandora virus, everyone put on gas masks. The birth rate is negative every year, and the country vigorously advocates test-tube babies. The differences in race, men and women, and beliefs have almost disappeared in the past decade. People have long been frightened by the three words "Pandora", as long as they can escape its existence, whether it is the bottom of the sea or the sword mountain, they are willing to go!

But where is the relocation to the bottom of the sea just as simple as that? The pressure of the seabed alone, the attacks of deep-sea equipment, seabed creatures, etc., are enough to make countless people feel devastated. Ocean-related majors have also beaten teachers, finance, doctors, etc. to become the most popular majors.

Finally, under countless struggles and the efforts of countless scientists, countries finally publicly declared that land is no longer suitable for human habitation, and people will collectively relocate to the depths of the ocean. This relocation movement lasted a total of one year, and in order to cover the various costs of submarine construction, many countries also owed heavy debts, so that a new political pattern was formed. But those are just things to follow. The day when the last human moved to the ocean will be the first day of the first year of the new calendar.

But people have discovered that after moving to the bottom of the sea, they can't just sit back and relax.

Today, it is 63 years in the new calendar.

As soon as Yan Chengjiu opened his eyes, he found himself in the water.

The surrounding fish swim forward as if fleeing for their lives, and his body is sinking continuously with the fluctuation of the water. Yan Chengjiu didn't understand why the place where he woke up when he came to perform the task this time was changed to the sea. This comparison immediately found that the last world had treated him preferentially.

Fortunately, Yan Chengjiu's own abilities have been greatly improved, and swimming in the water without breathing is a trivial matter.

He didn't know what happened, but seeing the fish around here swimming so fast, there must be some danger coming over.

Yan Chengjiu held his breath, moved his hands and feet quickly, constantly trying to get out of the water upstream to land. If he held his breath for too long, it might cause problems.

After swimming, Yan Chengjiu suddenly discovered that there were many things in the bottom of the water.

The adult men's arms criss-crossed the bottom of the water, which resembled water pipes, almost every one thousand meters, which was very conspicuous. I don't know if something is installed on the water pipe, the fish have already started detours before they get close to the water pipe.

Strange, what exactly are these?

Yan Chengjiu didn't care if he rushed forward to touch, he just carefully observed the scene near the water pipe.

The water pipe stretched straight up, as if it reached the surface of the water, swimming forward along the water pipe, but it pointed out the direction for Yan Chengjiu.

Well, why don't you swim along this pipe first and go to the top to see what's going on?

Yan Chengjiu didn't dare to take it lightly, he started to move quickly after thinking about it.

A monitoring station somewhere under the sea.

Sitting in the monitoring station was a valiantly short-haired woman. She looked about 30 years old. The overly serious expression in the past made her look a little unkind. But at this moment, he is watching the latest news intently, not as serious as he used to be.

Today's news headlines are getting more and more horrifying, but there is almost no substantive content.

"The number of murlocs has skyrocketed. After Pandora, mankind is about to usher in the second extinction? 》

"The truth behind the murloc riots, murloc experts will show you the decryption! 》

"The Murloc and Pandora appear one after another, the truth is? 》

The woman frowned more and more.

Turn one page, it's a report about murlocs, turn another page, it's still murlocs! The computer pages have been turned over, but the whole news is still murloc, as if there is nothing else to report except murloc.

The woman rubbed her eyebrows, threw the computer aside, and leaned on a chair to rest.

She was born on the bottom of the sea and did not know who her biological parents were.

In fact, there are many people like her. Raised by the government since childhood, he was assigned to work here with outstanding grades. Because of Pandora's existence, the number of humans has dropped sharply, and many countries have directly destroyed the country. Even the big countries known as human science and technology dare not be monsters anymore, and put all their focus on population reproduction. Until now, the population growth rate has only been negative.

As a person born on the bottom of the sea, she has never seen the color of the sky, and she does not know the beauty of the sunrise? In fact, the government is doing its utmost to obliterate the so-called beauty before the end. Originally, people came to the bottom of the sea because they escaped Pandora, and they didn't want more disasters waiting.

After arriving at the bottom of the sea, many people suffer from depression due to extreme unsuitability, causing social instability. In the first ten years of Pandora's raging raging, people almost eliminated sexual behavior, and their children and grandchildren relied on test tubes. Ten years of abstinence has allowed people to form a habit. After the ban is released, not many people are still willing to fall in love and start a family, and the human relationship has reached the freezing point.

Later, going to die on land almost became the obsession of many old people. They all dream of returning to land, even if they will be hit by the Pandora virus and die in pain.

Yes, even in the past few decades, Pandora virus is still rampant, alive on the land strong, as long as one person comes out of the seabed, they will immediately become their host.

What is good on land, the sun, the starry sky, and flowers, are these things so beautiful and so desirable?

"Report sir!" A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Come in." The woman sat upright, and the emotions on her face quickly converged.

A soldier came in outside the door, who looked familiar.

"What's the matter?" The woman said as he looked at the soldier in a hurry.

"A murloc attack was found near Purification Tube No. 86!"

"What are you talking about?" The woman immediately stood up, "Immediately switch the monitoring to the vicinity of the No. 86 purification tube." The woman shouted, and the picture on the screen was immediately changed to another.

"Who is that?" The woman looked sharply at someone who seemed to be swimming, "Zoom the picture."

The face belonging to Yan Chengjiu clearly appeared on the screen.

"Not a murloc!" Seeing the smooth skin on Yan Chengjiu's face and hands, the woman couldn't help but shouted, "Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he is not an adult. Who released the underage?"

"Sir, you... look at the back." The soldier suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a black shadow at the corner of the screen. "Is it... a murloc or a shark!"

"Oops." The woman exclaimed, "The distance is too far, immediately start communication and order the boy to leave!"

"Yes."

Yan Chengjiu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly, a voice rang from all directions, and Yan Chengjiu looked at it and found out that it was actually from those and Xiaoyu's body.

"According to the Juvenile Protection Law, you can't wander outside and go back to the bottom of the sea!" The voice seemed to be a woman's voice, and it is worth intriguing if the content of this sentence is not enough.

As soon as Yan Cheng's old thoughts changed, he immediately got the answer.

"Sorry, sister, I forgot how to go back." Yan Chengjiu gestured, pretending to be apologetic.

"Let's not talk about this, immediately follow the little fish to escape, the murloc wants to..." Before the words were finished, there was a violent wave around immediately, and the few little fishes were completely swept out.

Yan Chengjiu raised his head and saw a large shadow on his head.

That is a huge shark!

No, it is a little different from ordinary sharks. It looks more "smart", and its eyes contain very strong emotions.

"Damn it!" Seeing that the fish-shaped communicator placed in the water for surveillance was destroyed, the woman couldn't help but hammer the table.

At this moment, the picture was blurry. Although he ran away, the murloc subconsciously destroyed the nearby monitor first.

"You wait here, I'll go out and have a look." The woman was about to go out immediately.

"Sir, no." The soldier hurriedly stopped. "That's the shark murloc that ran away. Let's go with the army first..."

"But that boy is too late." The woman pushed the soldier away and took off her coat, revealing her special diving suit. As the deputy head of the submarine monitoring station, she has an obligation to protect the people of their country!

Yan Chengjiu was ready to take out the night in his hands at any time.

It is very inconvenient to move in the water. Whether it is punching or swinging a knife, it will be resisted by the water and the damage is minimal. In the face of such a behemoth, there is almost no possibility of victory. But waiting to die is indeed not Yan Cheng's style.

He thought a lot during the month of training.

The last world taught him a lot of things and also made him understand a lot of things. In this world, he can't easily reveal his identity, because there are still the same taskers who will come here.

Perhaps it was Yan Chengjiu and the shark who looked at each other with the slightest timidity, or perhaps the shark found a little difference in Yan Chengjiu's body. It didn't attack rashly, but opened its mouth and sucked hard.

Countless currents flew toward the shark's mouth, and Yan Chengjiu's body moved with it.

There was nothing to borrow from around him. Even if Yan Chengjiu wanted to stabilize his figure, he could only watch himself being sucked into the mouth by the shark a little bit.

No, there is a way.

Yan Chengjiu looked at the shark's widened mouth with a bit of cruelty in his eyes.

As long as he pulled out the night at the moment he entered the shark's mouth and stabbed the knife into the shark's mouth forcefully, he could stabilize himself.

After the night is fully expanded, it is one meter high. As long as he squats down with the knife, the shark can't shut up, so it can be much safer.

Compared with the unrealistic possibility of slaughtering sharks, this one is more feasible.

After thinking about it, Yan Chengjiu no longer stabilized his figure, but instead let himself go with the flow, holding the shrunken night sword in his hand, ready to do it at any time.

"Come here!"

Just as Yan Chengjiu wanted to do something, a voice came from behind him again.

Huh, it seems to be the voice from the previous communicator?

Yan Chengjiu had to put the Po Ye Dao away so as not to arouse suspicion. At this moment, he was suddenly hit by someone behind him. When he fell forward, he immediately sucked into the shark's mouth along with the small fish in the surrounding water, and the woman behind him also went in.

"what--"

With a scream, those who could threaten it were also eaten by it.

The shark closed his mouth contentedly and left here happily.

"Sir, sir!"

There were constant shouts from the submarine monitoring station, but the murloc's body was able to isolate the sound waves, but it was in vain.

Yan Chengjiu rarely wanted to curse.

But he can't scold.

The woman grasped Yan Chengjiu's hand tightly when she was sucked in with him, and kept quietly comforting Yan Chengjiu, "Don't be afraid".

The ignition gas in Yan Chengjiu's heart disappeared in the little comfort of this woman.

The two of them were quickly teleported into the shark's stomach.

There are a lot of small fish jumping around below.

During the fall, the woman pulled Yan Chengjiu while making a very neat fall to the ground. In addition, the "ground" was soft, and nothing happened.

"I'm Nina at the Undersea Monitoring Station." The woman helped Yan Chengjiu up, and slightly opened the mask, revealing a heroic and beautiful face.

"Sister Nina is good." Yan Chengjiu seriously played a well-behaved boy and yelled softly.

"Don't worry, there is nothing terrifying about the shark murlocs. They are about to die before they turn into prototypes and run away. At this time, they are just returning to the light and have almost no digestion ability. As long as he dies, we can break open. Its belly has gone out." Nina looked at Yan Chengjiu's flushed face, and said in a low voice, "Moreover, there are benefits here, there is still some air, otherwise we may not be able to support it for long."

"Well, I listen to my sister." Yan Chengjiu replied while analyzing Nina's words secretly.

Murloc, turned into a prototype, runaway before death?

Just these few keywords can let Yan Chengjiu know a lot of information.

He tentatively looked at Nina and asked, "Sister Nina seems to be very experienced, so I can rest assured that the murloc will not be Sister Nina's opponent."

"Don't praise me." Nina laughed, "The murloc is very powerful, otherwise people will not become willing to become a murloc for this short period of time. That is, it is extremely weak now, so I can only escape. ."

After speaking, Nina put away her smiling face again and looked at Yan Chengjiu and asked, "What is your name, you are not an adult yet, why did you leave the seabed base and come outside?"

Yan Chengjiu was shocked, but his expression was very melancholy.

He looked at Nina from time to time and hesitated, "My name is Chengjiu, I...I just want to come out and find...My parents, I accidentally came outside, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble. "

"Chengjiu?" Nina murmured the name, feeling melancholy in her heart.

Was it his parents who still missed the past, that's why they gave their children such a name?

Come to find your parents, is it possible that the parents of this young man left the undersea base and went to land on the "pilgrimage" to death? !

Nina remembered the string of sensational headlines on the news, and then looked at Yan Chengjiu's now flushed face, embarrassed and melancholy, and felt pity in her heart.

All minors are the treasures of the base!

People like Chengjiu are definitely more popular, but they are unlucky enough to join such parents!

"You, don't be sad. It's normal for your parents to want to go to land, but we'd better not go there. There is Pandora on it." Nina is not very comfortable, and her words are dry.

Yan Chengjiu's eyes reddened at the right time, as if he didn't want to say more.

Nina had no choice but to remain silent.

After a while, Nina felt that if she didn't speak anymore, she might make the boy think more. It is said that children who grow up in marine depression families are always more vulnerable than ordinary people. If this young man mistakenly believes that he does not like him, then the misunderstanding will be big.

"You...what do you usually like to do?" Nina asked cautiously~www.readwn.com~ Yan Chengjiu dozed off in secret and brought the pillow, "It's just that I don't understand a lot of things."

"do not understand anything?"

"Pandora, is it really that scary?" Yan Chengjiu asked weakly.

Nina froze for a moment, and immediately sounded the alarm in her heart, "Pandora is terrible. It has been almost a hundred years since it appeared, because we have moved from land to the bottom of the sea, and we have not found a way to cure it."

"But the murloc, isn't it terrible?" Yan Chengjiu looked at Nina nonchalantly, "Sister, aren't they all the same?"

"Of course it's different!" Nina retorted subconsciously, "murloc...murlocs are human after all. They just want to live better before they choose to have gene fusion surgery. As long as they don't die soon. , They will not turn into prototypes and run away, they are a very sensible group of people. Sister, some of her classmates at the time also became murlocs. Don’t believe too much in the news. Many of them are made up. Yes, the murlocs are not as scary as you think."

"Is that so?" Yan Chengjiu didn't seem to believe it, and lowered his head.

"Yes, I'll know when I see you later." Nina squeezed out a smile and comforted her.

Yan Chengjiu smiled and seemed to agree. But he had his own inferences about the situation of the submarine base in his heart.

According to Nina, Pandora is estimated to be a virus, very powerful, and people can only survive if they hide in the bottom of the sea. But many people miss the land and would rather commit suicide on the ground. Her name fits the psychology of these people's naming, so Nina will believe in herself.

Thank you grandpa for giving yourself a name!

And the murloc in Nina's mouth was similar to the positive one, but it was different.

Murloc surgery can be done by yourself.

But murlocs may belong to a group of people who are very dangerous but have to exist. They have different powers and can even become creatures in the ocean. They are usually in human form, but they will run away when they are dying and lose them completely. reason.

Next, Yan Chengjiu and Nina said something intermittently, further confirming that Yan Chengjiu's conjecture was correct. And Nina also pieced together a little bit from Yan Cheng's frustration to the words she said happily afterwards.

Yan Chengjiu was conceived by his parents a long time later, a rare natural person. His parents have never allowed him to go out, and only allowed him to stay in the room to read, and he has never been in contact with outsiders. As soon as he went out, his parents would yell in excitement, so he always listened to his parents. But his parents' illness became more and more serious, and they became more and more taciturn. Did Yan Chengjiu discover that his parents secretly left the seabed base? In a hurry, he had to come out with his parents. He didn't expect that not only did he catch up with his parents, but he was also lost.

Speaking of later, Yan Chengjiu's face was full of longing, and Nina, who had no parents, couldn't help but move.

Yan Chengjiu's words are very reasonable.

Because of Pandora's existence, people began to abstinence. Every natural person born out of love and union will be protected by the state and publicized, seeking to save the poor birth rate, instead of blindly cultivating test-tube babies without father and mother.

For parents suffering from marine depression, it is natural that they are unwilling to expose their children to others, and this has resulted in Yan Chengjiu's incomprehensive appearance.

If he came a step late, this well-behaved boy would probably die too.

Nina noticed that Yan Chengjiu's eyes were always cautious when looking at her, just like the creature named Fawn in the "Animal World" CD that she was lucky enough to find, with watery eyes and arousing affection.

Speaking of which, I am also thirty-four years old.

According to state regulations, she has the right to adopt a child. If, if it is determined that there is nothing wrong with this teenager, and his parents leave again, I wonder if he would like to live in her house?

But the words of natural persons are very popular among senior officials.

As long as Yan Chengjiu is willing, a large number of wealthy families will choose to adopt him, and he stays at the monitoring station all the year round, and his credit is only third-class, and he may not be able to give Yan Chengjiu a good condition.

Forget it, I can't even take care of myself!

Nina felt very sorry but could only comfort herself so much.

Not long after, Nina and Yan Chengjiu suddenly felt the shark move vigorously. It seems that it is under attack.

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Nina soothed.

"I'm not afraid, sister don't have to worry about me." It is impossible for Yan Chengjiu to really pretend to be a little white who knows nothing.

Nina was smiling on the surface, but her heart was very bitter.

If this shark murloc is against the base's army, they can still be rescued, but if it is against other murlocs or underwater creatures, I am afraid that both of them will die here!

boom.

A torpedo penetrated the shark's body and quickly flew towards Nina and Yan Chengjiu.

The shark was blown into two pieces.

Yan Chengjiu quickly pulled Nina aside and shielded Nina behind him, but the internal energy in his body rose instantly, sucking the water flowing in with the torpedo around his body, avoiding most of the impact.

Although Nina felt an unusual wind, she thought it was brought out by a bullet and didn't care in her heart. On the contrary, she was a soldier who was actually guarded by a young man, and she felt embarrassed.

"Sister, someone has come to rescue us." Yan Chengjiu smiled lightly. "The book says that men want to protect women."

"You are not an adult yet!" Nina was very moved in her heart, but she felt that she could not encourage him to commit dangerous actions, her face was very distorted.

"There's someone here!" Just as Nina finished speaking, there was a voice.

"This is Nina, the deputy head of the No. 6 Submarine Observatory. The bugle is XXXXX. There is also a young man here. Asking for help from the army!" Nina immediately reported a series of numbers.

Nina and Yan Chengjiu were rescued smoothly.

It is common for the army to cut open the belly of the murloc to save the survivor. Even because of the existence of these survivors, when dealing with the dying murlocs, they deliberately abandoned the torpedoes with great lethality to ensure the safety of the unnecessary survivors.

After being rescued, Yan Chengjiu was sent to two different wards with Nina because he was a minor.

In order to cooperate with the inspection, Yan Chengjiu had to seal off all his internal forces and tried to pretend to be an ordinary person. By the way, he re-said what he had said to Nina again. I don’t know if it’s lucky, or that the country has always been happy to see the results of the extra population, and the supervision of household registration is not strict. With Nina's testimony and Yan Cheng's identity as an old natural person, a new identity certificate was soon completed here.

"You are only sixteen years old and you are very young. According to the regulations, you can choose a family to foster." The nurse smiled sweetly at Yan Chengjiu, "You are a child of a free love union between a man and a woman. It is of great significance. Many people will be happy to adopt you. Don't worry, they are all very good people."

Yan Chengjiu nodded nonchalantly.

"Look at you, why are you shy?" The nurse looked at Yan Chengjiu's red face and smiled.

Of course he blushed.

Yan Chengjiu secretly squeezed himself a sweat. He was almost 20, because his face was tender and he had to pretend to be sixteen. If this were to be known to others, how could he have a face?

However, no one in this world knows himself.

Thinking of this, Yan Chengjiu felt much more at ease.

When Nina returned from the hospital, she secretly ran to Yan Cheng's old ward to meet him. But before reaching the door, I found that many familiar family members of the chief executive entered Yan Cheng's old ward with a smile, expressing that they wanted to adopt him.

Yes.

People's fertility rate is so low now, and the activity rate of sperm and eggs is even worse. There are too few people who produce freely. Almost all natural persons born every year can be counted. And these natural persons are also the most envied by others.

Compared with being born through test tubes, no one knows who their biological parents are. They were raised by the country and then worked for the country. Natural persons who stay with their biological parents and enjoy the favor of others are almost in this society. top. Even if they are murlocs, they don't have such attention.

Now, it is hard to find a guardian position for a natural person, which naturally attracts people to scramble for it.

Not to mention that Yan Chengjiu is well-behaved and good-looking. The ladies almost liked him when they saw him. Why would they be unhappy?

Nina had been waiting for a long time, but Yan Cheng had an endless stream of guests in the old ward, and Nina was afraid of being found out, so she had to secretly leave.

Speaking of which, she was the first person to discover Yan Chengjiu. She was also at an age when she could adopt a child. She also had meritorious deeds. If she submits an adoption form, she should be able to be sent to Yan Chengjiu's hands.

But, should it be filled or not?

Nina looked at the application form on the table, feeling very tangled in her heart.

"Nina, Nina, your chopsticks stuck on the table." During lunch, the partner who was eating with Nina couldn't help but remind her when she saw Nina's absent-minded appearance.

"Nina, you have been a little bad in the past two days. Didn't the last time you meet the murlocs have not been well cultivated? Didn't you have a vacation, just take a few days off." The partner looked at Nina and asked anxiously.

"No, it's not because of this." Nina looked at her trusted partner and decided to tell the truth, "Lily, I want to adopt the boy who died with me."

"Hey, isn't that a natural person?" Lily was curious, "Nina, you are still very young, so don't worry about adopting them."

"I don't want to get married." Nina shook her head. "I grew up in the army and have seen so many men and women. I know every structure of the human body and know **** them with the least effort. I really can't imagine being with them. The scene of getting married and having children."

"But, isn't the condition of that teenager very good?" Lily was a little worried about her friends, "With his conditions, what kind of family do you want? Nina, if you really want to adopt, in the national elementary school, or even There are so many nurseries in the nursery, you don’t need to adopt him."

"He also saved me, I think..." Nina wanted to say something, but after all she didn't say it.

"Lily, you are right. For his good, I shouldn't make such a request." Nina smiled reluctantly, stretched her right hand into her pocket and tore the watch to pieces.

"Nina, I know that it is very rare to meet the eye, but we also have to be realistic." Lily comforted her friend in a low voice, "When you are sure that he is adopted by someone, you can also go to see him. ."

"En." Nina replied.

Lily knows that Nina rarely makes her own requests. She likes small animals very much, but small animals are always unwilling to get close to her. Occasionally, children will always cry when they see her. Because Nina has shown extraordinary talents since childhood, some people even slander her as a fisherman.

Nina said her thoughts so honestly, probably because she really liked the boy.

It's a pity that if that young man is not a natural person, Nina might still have a chance.

After lunch time, Lily asked to accompany Nina to take a good walk.

The submarine base is very large. Although they have been on the front line, they also have great freedoms.

As I walked, a bunch of people in suits and leather shoes suddenly appeared in front of me.

No one does not know those people at the seabed base, it belongs to the Fertility Bureau. But how come people from the Fertility Bureau are here? Shouldn't they be doing various fertility policies for the masses?

"Excuse me, are you Sergeant Nina?" A leader of the fertility bureau walked up to Nina and asked.

"Yes." Nina took a step forward. "May I ask what's the matter?"

"Yan Chengjiu asked you to adopt him. I have an application form here. I don't know if you are willing to accept it. After filling it out, give it to me so that I can go through the procedure?" The leader directly took out a piece of paper. Here, it is the application form.

"Yes, he asked for it?"

"That's right." The person from the Fertility Bureau nodded.

"I fill in, of course!"
