After Surviving Hell… She Finally Broke Down in Her Mother’s Arms

“Wuwuwu~”
Chenlian’s cry, as unrestrained as a small child’s, filled the entire living room.
In an instant, it shattered the confusion and surprise of everyone present.

Coming back to their senses, apart from Fuzi, whom Chenlian had suddenly thrown herself onto, the other three smiled knowingly.

Fuzi gently stroked Chenlian’s pink long hair and spoke softly to her.
“Chenlian! You really tried your very best!”
As she spoke, Fuzi’s eyes also grew moist.
She then tightly embraced Chenlian’s small, delicate body, closed her eyes, and buried her head in Chenlian’s soft hair.
Fuzi held Chenlian tightly like this, letting her vent all her emotions.

Yes, Chenlian had truly been very brave.
For someone who had been “born” less than a day ago, with almost no life experience, facing such danger alone was truly not easy.
Although behind Chenlian stood Yue Fuzi, Ye Qing, and Lin Yuxuan, without a doubt, none of the three could provide Chenlian with any real help.
All they could do was endure, pray, and trust—nothing more.
What Chenlian faced were three threatening men in black, two large gun muzzles with a caliber of about four centimeters.
With no sense of safety whatsoever, she swallowed the “candy” of unknown origin—knowing it was something bad, yet having to eat it.
She did this only because she trusted her loved ones and didn’t want to drag them down.
With this in her heart, Chenlian resolutely swallowed the “unknown object” raw.
Then, powerless, she was pierced in the abdomen by a cold, gleaming sharp weapon.
Although her body was paralyzed and she felt no pain, fear still brewed in her heart.
Yet Chenlian could not move; she could only let others do as they wished with her body.
In summary, Chenlian bravely and firmly overcame the difficulty and completed this mission excellently.

Everyone knew this very well in their hearts.
That was why Fuzi let Chenlian cry until she was satisfied.
Fuzi would hold Chenlian tightly, giving her comfort and encouragement.
This was also what she, as Chenlian’s current mother, had to do.

The other three silently stayed nearby, keeping watch over Chenlian.
This was the only thing they could do for now.

‘Ah, ah!
We just got past such a dangerous hurdle.
We should be overjoyed from the bottom of our hearts.
But now, for some reason, I feel a bit sentimental.’
Ye Qing sighed, feeling his heart ache again.
He had never been good at this kind of scene, yet recently he had been forced to face it multiple times.
But all of this was Chenlian’s fault.
No—Chenlian wasn’t at fault.
It was all the mutation’s fault!
The mutation had destroyed everything!
What we had just overcome was also the danger brought by the mutation!
Yet this was only the beginning.
Dr. Hadi had also said, “For now, it’s indeed not that bad. But that’s only for the time being.”
So far, they hadn’t encountered any major crises.
But the mutation had already seeped into society without people even noticing, stirring up a wave of mutation.
Under the sweep of this mutation wave, what kind of future would we face? What would the world face?
No one knew.
The future was unpredictable.
Without preparing one’s resolve and defenses in advance, it was very possible to run aground midway due to an inability to handle sudden situations.
Perhaps this was also the meaning behind Master entrusting Nozomi to me.

However, it seemed Ye Qing was not the only one bad at this kind of scene.
Ye Qing turned his head and saw Lin Yuxuan already in tears.
She kept wiping away the tears that wouldn’t stop flowing from her eyes, her charming eyes red from crying.

Ye Qing decisively could not bear to watch any longer.
He sighed and gently tugged on Yuxuan’s slender wrist.
Then he said to Yuxuan in a calm voice, “Yuxuan, sit down first.”

Yuxuan did not refuse.
Weakened from crying, she was pulled by Ye Qing to sit down on the sofa.
Then, without hesitation, she leaned her head on Ye Qing’s shoulder and continued crying silently.

‘Ah, ah! How troublesome!’
Everyone around was troublesome!
Ye Qing had no choice but to compromise with this.

At that moment, Dr. Hadi raised his eyebrows at Ye Qing.
The corners of his mouth curled into a sly smile, as if saying, ‘Young lad, you’re quite lucky with the ladies!’

Ye Qing immediately wanted to punch the face of this sly yet kind-hearted middle-aged man.

But he held back here.
He closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.

‘Tsk, tsk! Old man!
You underestimate me too much!
Do you think I’d fall for your tricks again?
Although I did get momentarily excited and said… Ah, ah, ah!
Why am I remembering that black history again!
Old man! You really are going to die!’

With his free left hand, he violently punched Hadi’s abdomen—Hadi had been teasing him up close.
Withdrawing his fist, Ye Qing exhaled again, as if his anger had subsided.
Hadi could only silently writhe in pain, clutching the sore spot, and kneel to the floor.

About ten minutes passed.
Chenlian’s crying gradually grew as soft as a mosquito’s hum.
Finally, it became completely quiet.
Fuzi raised her head, still holding Chenlian, and smiled.

“Chenlian?”
Yuxuan stood up and tried to call out to Chenlian, who had quieted down.
Fuzi immediately put her finger to her lips in a “shh” gesture, signaling Yuxuan not to speak so loudly.
Then she said to the three in a soft but clear voice, “Chenlian is asleep.”

Yuxuan nodded to show she understood.
She then tiptoed to Fuzi and Chenlian’s side and sat down lightly.
Chenlian was quietly leaning against Fuzi’s body.
Because her head was still buried in Fuzi’s chest, Chenlian’s current appearance could not be seen.
Her steady, rhythmic breathing made her small body rise and fall slightly.
Lin Yuxuan stroked Chenlian’s pink long hair and couldn’t help but show a wry smile.

“Ye Qing! Yuxuan! Hadi!”
Fuzi suddenly addressed the three.
All three looked at Fuzi, who had called them.
Ye Qing and Yuxuan couldn’t help but show puzzled expressions, not knowing what Fuzi wanted to say.
Hadi, however, showed a knowing smile and calmly waited for Fuzi to speak.

“Now that we’ve passed the blood test, I want to throw a birthday party for Chenlian.”
Still afraid of waking Chenlian, Fuzi softly voiced her idea.

“Wh—!”
Yuxuan was so startled she almost shouted out loud.
Fortunately, she reacted in time and covered her excited mouth before truly shouting.
Everyone timidly looked at Chenlian.
Chenlian remained completely still—clearly she had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Seeing that her excited behavior had not woken Chenlian, Lin Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she continued asking Fuzi in a small voice, “When?”

Fuzi thought for a moment.
Her eyes wandered aimlessly for a bit before returning to Yuxuan, who had asked the question.
Then, as if finally making a decision, she smiled at the three and said, “Tonight!
What do you all think?”

“Great! I agree!”
Yuxuan immediately agreed to the plan with a cheerful whisper.

Ye Qing and Hadi also nodded in agreement.

“Then it’s happily decided!”
Having received the three’s approval, Fuzi made the final decision.
