"No way!" I was filled with grief and indignation at my fate of becoming a tool for reproduction, I couldn't help but walk in front of Shu Sha.
"Class leader! Is this your decision? How can you let me have offspring with an underage girl!? Even if human civilization has already fallen, you still shouldn't agree to something that refreshes your worldview! "
"Based on Xiao Yin's knowledge, she doesn't seem underage." Shu Sha said coldly, "Maybe it's just a genetic mutation that causes her growth rate to slow down. In the current world, isn't it more important for everyone to survive?"
"Why do you make me sound old?" Xiao Yin retorted on the bed, "I only have so much knowledge because I like to read!"
"Winnie, help Xiao Yin put on some clothes." Shu Sha ordered, "If she catches a cold, her sense of smell will also be affected."
With Winnie's help, Xiao Yin put on a warm dress. In fact, although it was snowing outside, it wasn't really cold inside. Maybe there was some kind of heat source in the lower levels of the bunker.
"Her sense of smell will also be affected if she's pregnant!" I interrogated the class leader, "Are you sure it's a good idea for me to have offspring with her!"
"A woman's sense of smell will become more sensitive when she's pregnant." The class leader said without blinking, "Also, Xiao Yin is unimaginably willful. If you don't satisfy her request to sleep on the same bed as you, she won't provide us with the location of the survival kit and would rather starve to death with everyone!"
"That's why I was traded?!"
"Hey! Don't take it for granted! " Winnie said, "We're braving the snow to find food outside, but you're warm in the bunker with a beautiful girl in your bed. Aren't you satisfied?"
She had already taken off her military jacket and revealed the tight black tank top underneath.
"At the juncture of life and death, everyone has to do their part for the team." The class leader said expressionlessly, "If you didn't try to violate Gong CaiCai in battle, I wouldn't have agreed to Xiao Yin's request. Since you can't enter the battlefield with your mental state, you can only stay in the bunker and satisfy Xiao Yin's needs."
"Is this equivalent to a humanitarian punishment for me! It's not beneficial to the team at all, I should be thankful that I wasn't left in the wilderness, right? What a waste … "
"How stupid," Winnie muttered while wiping Gong CaiCai's face. "Maybe we'll never see another man in our lives. How can we not have any patience …"
The reason why this bunker, which was left behind by an unknown country, was able to maintain its warmth in the snowy weather was that it was built according to a natural cave. The basement still maintained the structure of half cement and half cave, and there was a hot spring that overflowed with hot air.
After returning from searching for survival kits, the three girls' clothes and bodies were dirtied to varying degrees. They ate some food and went to the lower level to soak in the hot spring.
I raised my left wrist out of habit, but I didn't see the watch my dad had given me. It was snowing heavily outside, and the sun was hidden behind thick clouds. I couldn't tell the time.
Xiao Yin, who had just woken up, fell asleep on the bed again. She only ate a third of the box of biscuits and threw it beside her pillow.
I searched the wooden table until I found an old radio with a narrow LCD screen that displayed the date and time.
April 26th, 2034, 11: 30 in the morning.
Combined with the color of the sky outside, the time was believable, but the date was nonsense. I actually already asked someone other than Xiao Yin what year it was, but all three of them had three answers.
"Isn't it 2030? The year 2012 is the end of the world, we were born after the apocalypse, and we're 14 right now … "
That was Winnie's answer.
"But, but I heard from the teacher at the refugee camp that the world was destroyed in 1999." Gong CaiCai said weakly.
"Originally, we could estimate the current year based on the expiration date on the cans, but the foam isolated bacteria, so we can't estimate the exact year." The class leader said, "We can only treat it as 2034 for now. Also, due to the drastic climate change, there are very few days without snow throughout the year, so the months are basically meaningless."
There were three large beds left behind by the predecessors in the bunker. One was placed on the upper level of the bunker, and two were placed on the lower level.
Because Xiao Yin not only responds to the smell of the survival kit, she can also smell the smell of mutated beasts in the distance. So, out of the need for early warning, she slept on the upper level and detected suspicious smells through the bunker's firing holes.
Because of her request, it seems I slept with her every night. If I didn't do that, she would refuse to be a scout.
The class leader and the others slept on the lower level. If Xiao Yin detected any danger, she would immediately scream. Her voice was sharper than any alarm and would definitely wake everyone up.
The two beds on the lower level were assigned to the class leader and Gong CaiCai on one bed, while Winnie slept on the other. The reason was because Gong CaiCai always had nightmares, and Winnie didn't sleep well, so whoever slept with her would be unlucky.
I decided to take a walk outside.
I put on a few pieces of underwear under my hiking clothes. I found my thick boots in the pile of junk on the ground and walked out into the snow. All I could see was a vast expanse of white snow. I couldn't see anything beyond 50 meters. I could only hear the howling of the wind.
Although I would feel cold every time snowflakes melted on my face, overall, the temperature outside was not as low as I imagined. It was as if the entire earth's crust was heating up. The heavy snowfall was an extreme measure used by the Earth Monarch to cool himself down.
The hemispherical bunker was built on high ground and had a commanding view of the surroundings. It was definitely an easy place to defend and hard to attack. I was careful not to slide down the slope as I circled around the bunker that was half covered in snow.
At the back of the bunker, I saw a simple cross made of tree branches stuck in a small mound covered in snow. It looked like a grave.
"Is there someone buried in there?" I was suspicious.
At this time, the class leader walked over from behind me with a submachine gun hanging on her thick military uniform. She didn't care that the metal would absorb a lot of cold air in the snow and held the gun tightly with her pale right hand.
"There's only one of Xiao Zhe's pens inside." The class leader looked at the small grave mound and explained to me, "Ever since … that time, I haven't seen my brother again. No, maybe I did see him, but I couldn't recognize him at all …"
Huh? Did Shu Zhe die in this setting? No wonder the class leader was depressed all day! There's definitely a problem! How could a despicable person like Shu Zhe die so easily!
Seeing the class leader's dejected expression, I couldn't help but hold her shoulders and said:
"Shu Zhe didn't die! Not only did he not die, but he's also living a comfortable life! Because it has absolutely nothing to do with me, he awakened a fetish for cross-dressing. After he dresses up as a trap, a lot of men will send him gifts! He won't die in this kind of snowfield where not even a blade of grass grows! "
"Is that so?" The class leader didn't become happy because of my comforting words. She only raised the corner of her mouth and smiled bitterly, "If it's really like the dream you weaved and he lives in that kind of peaceful environment, then I don't care if he has a fetish for cross-dressing."
"Is it possible that it's the complete opposite?" I asked, "Class leader, is it possible that this world is a weaved dream, and Shu Zhe is actually alive in the real world?"
"You're daydreaming again." The class leader sighed, "The attack on the refugee camp was a huge blow to you. Not only were there external injuries, but you also lost … In short, it was an extremely painful memory for you, so you sealed off that part of your memories. Also, once you start to recover that part of your memories, you'll fall asleep for a few days. Then, you'll mix up your memories and we'll have to tell you what the real world is like."
"In other words, something is interfering with my memories!" I suddenly became excited and began to shake the class leader's shoulders, "Tell me! Tell me what I'm forgetting! There's something wrong with this world! You guys shouldn't be like this! Just because you agreed to let me have a child with Xiao Yin, it doesn't seem like something you would do! "
"I can't tell you what you're forgetting!" The class leader shouted at me in the snowstorm, "Do you think I've never done that before! Every time I couldn't stand your questioning and told you the truth, you would have a mental breakdown and cause a lot of trouble for everyone! If you do it again, you might not be able to regain your sanity! "
"Are you really that rational?" I said tit for tat, "Are you going to give me to Xiao Yin as a bedding in exchange for everyone's survival after the apocalypse? What kind of lousy idea is it to let us have offspring … "
"You two have already been in a relationship for a year." The class leader lowered her voice and said, "But she doesn't have any symptoms of pregnancy. I suspect her mutated body might not be able to produce offspring."
"What if she does!?" I wasn't used to the class leader's calmness.
"That wouldn't be a bad thing for us." The class leader shifted her gaze towards the silhouette of the mountain range in the distance. It was probably because she had excellent eyesight that she could see more than me.
"In this despairing world, Xiao Yin's sense of smell is the best weapon for finding food and avoiding enemies. It could be said it's the most effective way for humans to adapt to the environment. I hope if she gives birth to a child, the child will also inherit their mother's superb sense of smell. That way, you would be making a huge contribution to the remaining humans …"
"What contribution? The father of the new humans! "I was furious," So you're using me as an experiment! Since when did you become so black-bellied! Isn't your extraordinary eyesight also one of the treasures for survival? Why don't you do a clinical trial and see if you can give birth to a child with extraordinary eyesight! "
"Boom!"
I was knocked down into the snow by the class leader's rifle butt.
"Stop dreaming." The class leader pointed the muzzle at my head and said condescendingly, "Now that you can't control your actions, Winnie and I have to cover for each search mission. Even Cai Cai has to help transport between us — — where would everyone's food come from if I lose my ability to fight for ten months?"
"Who said I can't control my actions?" I raised my head from the snow and roared, "I just refuse to believe the world is this terrible! If you teach me how to use weapons, I can take your place on missions! "
The class leader's face suddenly turned red. Although it wasn't obvious, it didn't escape my eyes under the contrast of the white sky.
Why is she blushing? Could it be that by emphasizing that I have the ability to complete missions, I'm implying that it's okay if you're pregnant?
