Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 831

Chapter 831: Telling the Truth

This was also the reason why Shen Zhen did not want to tell Lu Yu about the baby. Because she knew that once Lu Yu found out the truth, he would ask her to keep the baby, and this was something that she could not do! After all, her child was weak to begin with, and the chances of survival were really low, but Bai Meiyue was different.

Her child was safe and healthy; as long as there was nothing major happening, Bai Meiyue would be able to give birth to a child without any fuss or problem. What was more, her child would definitely survive because he was conceived between two ability users, but that was not the case for Shen Zhen. After working tirelessly in the medical field, Shen Zhen had become more and more frail. Her body was too weak, and she was over the age of becoming a mother; if not for the fact that Shen Zhen never expected the pregnancy to happen, she would have never risked her health like this.

Anyway, with her weak pregnancy, if Lu Yu found out the truth, then he would definitely take a team of ability users to collect the medicines and resources. But was it going to be easy? Of course not. The times had changed, and they could not just march outside and buy the medicines that they wanted. With how much the medical facilities had depleted, the chances of Lu Yu finding medicines would be very low, and who knows how long he would be missing from the safe base?

Then what were they supposed to do? Bai Meiyue was about to give birth, so were they supposed to let Bai Meiyue stay in charge of the entire safe base in her condition? And what would happen after she finished giving birth? Were they going to drag Bai Meiyue out of the confinement and ask her to deal with the big and small matters of the safe base? After all, after Bai Meiyue, the one who could arrange everything in the safe base was Lu Yu.

And what if they get attacked? What would they do then? Were they going to watch Bai Meiyue and the Bai brothers fight till their deaths? Even if they survived, Bai Meiyue’s body would definitely be troubled and hurt. If that happened, then the child would also suffer along with her.

Since that was the case, Shen Zhen decided to give up on her child. Her child was weak to begin with, so even if she gave up on him, there was no problem. What if she pushed Lu Yu to gather medicines and whatnot, only for the child to die at the end? Wouldn’t she become the sinner of the entire safebase and the Bai family as well as the Lei family if something happened to Bai Meiyue? It was better for her to just stop when there was time.

"Then what about Lu Yu?"

"We can only say that it happened because I overstressed my body. If I tell him the truth, then even if he doesn’t want to, he will end up developing a grudge against you and Lei Qian. The two of you have done nothing wrong in this situation; we can only say that fate has played a cruel joke on us." Shen Zhen curled her lips mockingly. She had nothing to say about the current situation. She could not give up on Bai Meiyue, not when Bai Meiyue had done her a great favour by helping her find her sisters. If Bai Meiyue had not saved those two, then she was worried that her sisters would have been ruined or, much worse, killed. It was all because of Bai Meiyue that they were still alive.

However, the more they acted like this, the more Bai Meiyue felt pressured. As Shen Zhen said, the reason she was doing this was that she did not want Bai Meiyue’s child to be lost, but at the same time, if the truth were found out, then Lu Yu would definitely blame her and Lei Qian. There was no surprise in this. Was she going to keep this matter from Lu Yu as well and use the gratitude that Shen Zhen and the rest of the people in the safe base had for her? No matter how Bai Meiyue thought about it, it did not feel nice.
