When a Blade of Grass Wants to Become Immortal

Chapter 152: Chapter 149: The Apocalypse Big Shot Arrives 26

Seeing Ji Xiaosong get angry, Gu Lin steeled himself, shut his eyes, and said:

”Honey, our baby is what’s important. We’ll have a lifetime together later, so there’s no need to rush things right now.”

Knowing her husband could be a bit single-minded, Ji Xiaosong decided to stop teasing him.

’Anyway, in the coming months, all I have to do is give birth, and my mission for this life will be complete.’

”Alright, then. There are still thousands of cities across the country that need to be rebuilt, so I’ll have to ask you to work hard and take command. Don’t worry about supplies; I’ll deliver them on a fixed schedule every month. Also, the Superpower Users of every element will need to find a way to restore the nation’s land and water sources, so we don’t have to rely on my space forever.”

”Honey, don’t worry. I’ll do my job well and do everything I can to make sure our child is born into a safer world,” Gu Lin solemnly promised.

Over the next few months, Gu Lin spent most of his time shuttling between different cities.

Fortunately, with more people participating in the reconstruction, Gu Lin no longer had to personally handle every single detail.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Xiaosong’s due date was approaching.

Gu Lin returned to Yongfeng Base ahead of time and stayed by Ji Xiaosong’s side at every moment.

Two days after her due date, Ji Xiaosong was sitting on the sofa, speaking softly with Gu Lin, when she suddenly felt an uncontrollable gush of warm fluid. Her water had broken.

”Honey, my water broke!”

Gu Lin instantly panicked. His hands flew about, not knowing where to put them, and he stammered, ”Don’t—don’t panic. I’ll go get help.”

With that, he dashed to the door and shouted for help.

Hearing the commotion, the family immediately gathered around.

Even with the experience from when Lin Xiaoxiao had her baby, and despite knowing what to do, Song Ya and the others couldn’t help but feel worried and flustered.

As the sister-in-law and an obstetrician, Lin Xiaoxiao was the calmest one there.

She strode quickly toward Ji Xiaosong while giving methodical orders, ”Everyone, don’t panic. Listen to me. Gu Lin, go get the hospital bag we prepared. Mom, Dad, help get the car to the front door and keep the path clear.”

Lin Xiaoxiao supported Ji Xiaosong and comforted her gently, ”Xiaosong, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I’ll be with you the whole time. Just do as I say and relax.”

With Lin Xiaoxiao’s help, Ji Xiaosong was carefully guided into the car, which then sped toward the best-equipped hospital in Yongfeng Base.

Along the way, Lin Xiaoxiao held Ji Xiaosong’s hand tightly, constantly offering words of encouragement while closely monitoring her condition.

When they arrived at the hospital, Lin Xiaoxiao accompanied Ji Xiaosong into the delivery room.

It had been planned all along that Lin Xiaoxiao would deliver Ji Xiaosong’s baby, which put everyone at ease.

Outside the delivery room, the entire family waited anxiously, their eyes glued to the closed door. Every second of the wait felt agonizingly long.

Ji Youshu was at home looking after the kids, so he arrived a little later.

Inside the delivery room, Ji Xiaosong calculated the time. ’It’ll take at least two or three hours to give birth.’

’It’s like this every lifetime. Giving birth isn’t actually painful for me, but I still have to put on an act.’

After putting on an act for over two hours, Ji Xiaosong gave birth to the baby.

”Xiaosong, look! It’s a girl. I’ve delivered so many babies, but I’ve never seen one as beautiful as her.”

Lin Xiaoxiao placed the baby next to Ji Xiaosong on the delivery bed for her to see.

”Mm, she is beautiful. Take her out to everyone in a little bit so they can stop worrying.”

After they were cleaned up, Lin Xiaoxiao wheeled Ji Xiaosong out of the delivery room.

The baby was placed beside Ji Xiaosong on the gurney, and she never took her eyes off her.

Seeing Ji Xiaosong and the baby come out safely, the whole family rushed to surround them.

Gu Lin’s eyes were slightly red. He leaned over and gently took Ji Xiaosong’s hand, his voice full of tenderness and gratitude. ”Honey, you went through so much.”

Mother Ji was already sobbing uncontrollably. She gently stroked the baby’s little face with trembling hands, murmuring, ”My little darling, we’ve been waiting so long for you.”

Meanwhile, a large crowd had actually gathered outside the hospital.

Over the past few months, some ordinary people had given birth, but it was extremely rare among Superpower Users.

Everyone was waiting to hear about Ji Xiaosong’s daughter—specifically, whether she had a superpower.

When news broke that Ji Xiaosong had successfully given birth to a daughter, the crowd of onlookers outside began to stir. They murmured amongst themselves, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Gu Changqing had already been approached by his assistant several times. Everyone was waiting for an answer.

”Gu Lin, go out and explain the situation to everyone. They’re all waiting. You are my son and a strong candidate to be the future leader of Yongfeng Base. At a time like this, you need to give a proper account regarding the child. Don’t give people a reason to gossip.”

”Alright, Dad. You watch over Song here. I’ll go out for a moment and be right back.”

Gu Lin stood up and walked to the hospital entrance. Facing the massive crowd, he cleared his throat and announced loudly, ”Thank you all for your continued concern and for waiting. Our daughter has been born safely.”

A cheer erupted from the crowd, but they quickly fell silent again, waiting for the more crucial news.

”The daughter of myself and Vice Base Leader Ji Xiaosong... she has a Full Element Superpower, and she was born at Level 5.”

As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted. People couldn’t believe their ears, their faces a mixture of shock and joy.

”It’s a miracle!”

”There’s hope for our future!”

”This child will surely become our strongest shield! No disaster will ever be able to harm us again!”

”I’m following her from now on! When she grows up, she’ll definitely lead us to wipe out all those dangerous zombies and mutated beasts outside!”

...

Everyone chimed in, one after another, speaking as if this newborn was the dawn of a new era.

”Mr. Gu, has your daughter been named yet?” someone in the crowd suddenly asked.

Gu Lin nodded. ”She is our hope, so we have named her Gu Xi, symbolizing hope and light.”

”Great!”

The crowd cheered. And just like that, under the watchful and caring eyes of the people of Yongfeng Base, Gu Xi slowly grew up.

By the time she was five, most of the zombies in the country had been cleared out, but restoring the land and growing crops remained a major challenge.

Thanks to Ji Xiaosong’s space, no one in the country had ever gone hungry, but this was not a long-term solution.

Abroad, zombies had long since outnumbered the living. If not for the fact that Ji Xiaosong had later joined forces with all the nation’s Superpower Users to erect a Barrier along the country’s borders, protecting the entire nation, their country would have been no different from the rest of the world.

Gu Xi was exceptionally intelligent from a young age. Ji Xiaosong knew in her heart, ’In this lifetime, Gu Xi is destined to develop many medicines and make unparalleled contributions to humanity and the world.’

Therefore, as soon as Gu Xi learned to speak, Ji Xiaosong began her educational journey, teaching her everything from identifying various medicinal herbs to figuring out how to use a microscope to observe the microscopic world, laying the foundation for her future path of research one step at a time.

While other children were still playing games, Gu Xi could already create medicines.

The other children in kindergarten loved playing with her, especially since Gu Xi had recently created a new formula. She had already tested it many times and would soon be able to grow vegetables in the kindergarten’s garden.
