A Pregnant Man Having A Hard Time

After the Spring Festival, the most inspiring news was the successful experiment of the energy gun. In the first month after the new year, Mo Wenyang personally took Wei Kan and the others to do a test with Xing Feng and Yun Che. As Yun Che said, a level 0 crystal nucleus in the energy gun was enough to hurt a zombie below level 5 as long as you took accurate aim. At the same time, someone also asked whether putting a level 2 or level 3 crystal nucleus in it would increase the power, but the proposal was rejected by the institute. Theoretically it was practical but it could not be achieved in practice, for a simple reason that the raw material used to manufacture the energy gun could not afford that kind of violent power, unless it was built with stainless steel stone, which would be too expensive. It would be fine if they only made one or two guns using stainless steel stone, but they would be dreaming if they had a mass production in mind.

The successful development of the energy gun once again shocked all bases. Not surprisingly, those bases, led by the Capital Base, once again asked them to share the energy gun, but Mo Wenyang turned down their request, saying that someone still hadn't pay the crystal nuclei for the antidote and nutrient. By February, those few bases which hadn't paid up the crystal nuclei made up the account, and when the Capital Base again proposed to share the energy gun, Xing Feng asked for the same price and that they would only offer the blueprint after receiving the crystal nuclei. It was not until March that the blueprints of the energy gun were delivered to all those bases.

Meanwhile, as Yun Che said, earthquakes and floods as well as other natural disasters were prevalent and zombie attacks were becoming more and more frequent. Due to their geographical advantage, the Southwest Base was able to prepare in advance when the zombies were gathering and send superfunction possessor troops to draw those zombies somewhere else so they weren't facing a real danger from zombie attacks. However, other bases were not that lucky. Mo Wenyang received messages from various bases asking for help almost every day, including from the Central China Base, who refused to lend a hand to the Northwest Base when they were in a dire situation last year. Mo Wenyang loved his country but he was not a fool. After what happened in the Northwest Base, he did not send any man to reinforce other bases.

At the end of March, the wheat Peak and Chaoyang planted in Yonghe Town was ripe and about ten thousand people were hired for harvesting. It took them almost twenty days to finish and it was such a bumper crop. Though the yield per unit area was not as high as before doomsday, it also reached 350 kg per mu (1 mu equals 666.66 square meters). Yonghe Town covered an area of more than twenty square kilometers, and excluding unplantable land reserved for the construction of fences, roads and reservoirs, there were at least twenty square kilometers of land left, with ten thousand mu of cultivated land. With 350 kg of crops growing on each of the seven hundred mu, it was indeed an excellent harvest. Seeing this, all survivors in the base who was assigned with land kept a close eye on their own lands, hoping that they could also harvest rice in May so that they wouldn't need to worry about starvation in the future.

Xing Feng did not treat their helpers shabbily. Apart from the 2.5 kg of rice agreed, each one was awarded with 5 kg of newly harvested wheat. In addition, in order to show gratitude to the base, he donated 50 tons of wheat to the base, which made everyone in the base elated.

"Whoo…I'm exhausted, I swear I will never have another baby ever again."

In these months, Yun Che's belly grew larger rapidly like a balloon and he couldn't even see his own feet when he looked down and he needed the wall or others' help to walk around. Now when everyone in the community was ravished with joy for the harvest, he could only stroll in the courtyard as slow as a snail with the help of Heiyu. He was not even strolling. He just moved forward bit by bit with one hand on the back of his waist and one hand on Heiyu. He was so slow that not only Heiyu but also Chenchen detested him.

"How can you say you're exhausted? I'm basically dragging you for this walk, alright? You can't be like this. Let's walk a few more rounds."

Hearing what he said, Heiyu turned around and fiercely glared at him. He only took one turn around the courtyard in half an hour, and how dare he say that he was exhausted? How could he safely give birth to the young master if he didn't walk around more?

"You might as well kill me."

Putting both of his hands at the back of his waist, Yun Che stuck out his belly and couldn't help roll his eyes. Who would have thought that his belly, which was not visible when he was more than five months pregnant, would suddenly inflated passing the six months mark? He didn't even dare to look at his immense belly, and his already slender body was made even slimmer, as if it would break at any time because it could not bear the weight of his belly. When he was lying on bed, he could not even get up without using his superfunction of air, let alone participating in any activity with such a burden. Walking around was the best he could do, and taking a few more rounds would undoubtedly kill him.

"Uncle, you are so slow."

Before Heiyu could shout at him, Chenchen, who had grown much taller, walked over and took Yun Che's hand. This was a sentence he had to repeat several times every day and this was already the fifth time of the day. However, he still punctually persuaded his uncle to go out for a walk as told by his mother. When his uncle moved around in such a slow motion, he urged him to be quicker as he was running. Two months later, he had lost 5 kg of weight and he looked a lot slimmer.

This was why Zhou Zeyu and the others often joked that there was no exercise more suitable for Chenchen to lose weight. And in order to make Chenchen even thinner so that he could be baby fat as he claimed he was, Yun Che should keep the baby for a few more months. Every time they said so, Yun Che generated a lightening and hit them. As a result, the couch at home had been replaced for multiple times.

"Such an ungrateful kid. Then you shouldn't keep nagging and force me out on a walk every day."

Sourly pinching Chenchen's nose, Yun Che simply used his superfunction of air to lift his heavy body to move inside the house. Seeing that, Heiyu immediately blocked him, "No, master, you have to walk at least one more round."

The due day was almost here but there was still no sign that he was going into labor. Heiyu was so anxious and if it didn't use his divine sense to check the baby's condition, he would suggest his master to have a c-section.

"Walk if you want, but I'm stopping here. Or ask Uncle Zhan to perform a c-section on me and ask Xiu Jie or Haixuan to heal me after the baby comes out."

He didn't care if it was a natural childbirth or not. How could he possibly have a natural childbirth with such a huge belly? Did they want him to give a birth in such a way that he would have a rupture that would never heal?

"Don't fool me. Anesthesia is not good for your health."

"Then I won't use any anesthetic. It's just a cut in the belly, and I can bear it."

"Fuck off. It's not like you won't feel the pain without anesthetic. No, absolutely not."

Its unreliable master worried Heiyu so much.

"Well, you're not the one feeling the pain. Alright, get out of my way, otherwise I'll lock you in the Space."

Damn, he couldn't do this and he couldn't do that. It was not like a natural childbirth was painless.

Looking down at his belly, Yun Che was speechless. It would definitely be more painful. Comparing the two options, he would rather grit his teeth and have someone cut his belly.

"…Master, you can't threaten me like this. I did all this for you. Woo…why do I have to be so unfortunate to have an unreliable master like you who always threatens me. Woo…"

To his surprise, Heiyu not only did not get out his way, but also grew larger in size and sat at the door, which blocked the door so that he couldn't enter. That was why everyone said that Heiyu was a despicable being. For a divine beast, its cries and shouts, which were like those from hysterical women, were so creepy. Yun Che, who was floating in the air using superfunction of air, couldn't stop the corner of his mouth from twitching and he had an impulse to generate a lightening and throw it at Heiyu. Heiyu played this trick every time, which was simply annoying.

"Uncle Heiyu, you are pretending to cry again."

Chenchen curiously walked up to Heiyu and as his words fell, the crying abruptly stopped, and the paws covering its eyes also stiffened. Yun Che looked over. It was indeed pretending to be crying and there was not a single drop of tears.

"Chenchen, you bad boy. I am so good to you and that's how you repay me."

After a long while, the roar of Heiyu resounded through the whole courtyard, and Xing Feng, who happened to return from outside, approached them in confusion, "What is happening? Che, stop using superfunction, or you'll feel uncomfortable later on."

In addition to his ridiculously large belly, another unfortunate thing in these few months was that whenever he used his superfunction or true qi, he would immediately get nauseous and vomit. This repeated torturing gave him no other choice but to give in. What was even worse was that his true qi and superfunction were fading in a steady speed. Other babies absorbed the nutrients in mothers' blood, and his baby had to took his true qi and superfunction apart from absorbing his energy. As a result, he only had level 5 superfunction and his cultivation was in foundation building phase 8, while Leng Yehan and the others were already level six and had entered Golden Pill Stage after they had successfully refined pills under Heiyu's instruction. He, who had been leading the way, on the other hand, was at a standstill.

"…It's all your fault. Now I'm thinking about something unpleasant again."

Grumbling in depression, Yun Che manipulated the superfunction to slowly land on the ground, and Xing Feng caught him at the right time, "Well, there are only a few more days to go. I have already arranged all the things outside, and from today onwards, I'll stay at home with you until you give birth. And I'll take care of you for your recuperation."

Touching his abnormally large belly, Xing Feng said tenderly. Zhan Tianlong told him that there was a good chance that Che was having twins. Remembering that the Yun Family had the gene for having twins, he was also getting more and more excited. However, unfortunately Che was too stubborn and just wouldn't stay in the hospital for Zhan Tianlong to check if they were having twins, so they could only wait until after he gave birth.

"Aren't we going to plant rice for one more season? Who's going to lead the team?"

Leaning against Xing Feng, Yun Che let him hold all his weight. Anyway, he was the father of the child and being a father was not an easy job.

"Well, Yehan and the others will take care of it. Now let's go inside to have a rest."

Nothing was as important as accompanying his love for the child birth. Xing Feng was only able to walk a couple of steps forward with Yun Che in his arms before he saw Heiyu blocking the door, "Are you blocking the door or showing off your immense body?"

He also knew about Heiyu forcing Yun Che to take a walk all day long, and looking at it, he knew that the two must have another argument earlier.

"Fuck. Who do I do this for? You two ungrateful bastards. You're pissing me off."

With a boom, Heiyu turned into the size of an ordinary Tibetan mastiff, and yelled in displeasure, "I'm going out for a walk for some fresh air. Chenchen, are you coming?"

"Okay."

Chenchen instantly jumped on his back, and they just strutted away, without even bidding them goodbye. Xing Feng helplessly shook his head, "Guess someone else is going to suffer."

"Hehe… Heiyu is more nervous about the child than we are. It's good for him to take a walk outside."

That was why people said pets would resemble their masters. Yun Che clearly knew that Heiyu was out messing around, and yet he still smiled like it was not a big deal.

"Is it?"

Xing Feng dotingly poked Yun Che's head, and took him in his arms and walked inside the house.
