Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 212: The temporary residence is broken, and the relationship between them has become closer

The rare spiral twin ponytails were lightly draped over her shoulders, appearing so natural. She looked to be in her early 20s, and was wearing a thin glazed blue maternity dress - it was obvious that she was pregnant, and judging by the current bulge in her abdomen, the baby would be born in just over four months.

The pregnant woman gently placed her hands on her belly, as if she felt that such silence was not in good condition, so she spoke first.

"Ah... nice to meet you. Hello, my name is Alexandra Pavlovna Zaychek. Just call me Alexandra."

Alexandra's gray eyes were half open, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and she smiled at Jiang Ming with some difficulty. The latter showed a slight surprise and nodded numbly until Maxim's call beside him made him react.

"Hey."

"Ah! Sorry, I know you guys are going to spend so much time thinking about my stay."

Jiang Ming gave two helpless smiles, but the other two didn't seem to buy it and questioned him face to face.

"You look very young. How come you are here?"

"Oh, actually, I am an ordinary logistics staff of Tianming, and I am only 19 years old this year. However, due to the second Houkai, my unit was wiped out and was left here. I was the only one who survived. Fortunately, I had enough supplies, and with some basic training from Tianming, I finally survived until now and found this place."

"Destiny...?"

The expressions of the three people changed unconsciously. Although it was very slight, Jiang Ming still noticed it. He nodded slightly.

"Well, I think you guys should know about the second Honkai Impact, and those giant white monsters, all of these are because of Honkai Impact."

"I hope you can tell us everything about this. I think you should know the current situation better than us."

Maxim looked at Jiang Ming seriously, and the latter nodded as a matter of course, thinking.

"Of course, I think destiny will not come to rescue us. At most, they will send some ordinary mecha troops to pretend to be together. It is also good to let you know more about the relevant matters. How about this, I will tell you about Honkai first."

"...Okay, let's go out and talk."

Maxim looked at Alexandra lying on the bed, obviously not wanting her to know about this and have unnecessary worries. But Alexandra immediately stopped them.

"It's okay... Just think of it as my own selfish desire, and let me understand it. I want to know... what exactly is going on..."

"..."

Maxim and Vladimir stopped talking. Jiang Ming sighed secretly. Alexandra had obviously thought of her husband just now, but who knew that her husband was lying in his space at this moment? Anyway, this did not affect his later plans and interests, so he saved him, not for any other selfish reasons.

"Is such that......"

Jiang Ming began to talk about things related to Honkai, but he did not reveal everything. He only talked about some things about the Death Soldiers, Honkai Beasts, Honkai Energy, or the adaptability and resistance of the Valkyries to Honkai Energy.

In Jiang Ming's story, this was a battle between humans and Honkai. When they asked how the battle ended, Jiang Ming's answer was: "A Valkyrie sacrificed her own life to disperse all the Honkai energy that was about to spread throughout Europe. That's why they are able to survive until now."

But when they asked which Valkyrie it was, Jiang Ming shook his head and said that he had only heard about it, but it was absolutely true. The reputation of that Valkyrie was extremely high in Tianming, so even he, a logistics staff, knew about it.

"You said you were a support staff member of the destiny, which means you also have that... Honkai adaptability?"

"Well, that's true. But if I were to classify them into five levels, SABCD, I would be at the lowest level, C or D. But even as a support staff, I'm treated very well at Tianming. There's nothing I can do about it. They're rich."

"You can't go back now?"

"Forehead..."

Jiang Ming really couldn't refute it, but this also eased the relationship between them a lot. Maxim continued to ask.

"Those Honkai beasts and the Death Soldiers, are there still such things in Siberia?"

"There are probably only a few left. Although we probably won't encounter them, I still want to remind you. If you do encounter one, you must run away if it doesn't find you. Even if it's the lowest-level Houkai beast, its wings can easily cut a human body in half, and it's extremely fast."

Jiang Ming's expression suddenly became serious, which surprised the two of them - this was not the look an ordinary person would have.

As if he noticed the surprise on their faces, Jiang Ming smiled harmlessly again.

"I am a logistics officer after all. Although my strength is not outstanding, I still have some means to save my life. Otherwise, I would not have been able to make it this far."

"That's true..."

Since then, Jiang Ming has lived in this temporary shelter, and this is only the first step in the plan. The second is to further gain their trust so that they can rest assured to leave Alexandra to his care.

This second step of the plan was also soon successful.

Three days later, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, even blocking the door of the temporary residence. Maxim and Vladimir had to go out to clean up, while Jiang Ming prepared lunch in the house as they instructed. There was no other way, as Alexandra Hua was pregnant and couldn't get out of bed, and the other two couldn't cook, so it was Jiang Ming's turn.

However, what Maxim and Vladimir did not expect was that Alexandra, whom they did not even allow to cook, actually forced herself to go outside and shovel snow in just a coat, and the two men were so busy working that they did not even notice!

But how long can a pregnant woman do this? Alexandra only worked for a short while before she felt difficulty breathing, gasping for air, and even unable to make a sound. She was about to faint when suddenly a pair of hands picked her up and took her back into the house.

The two people who were still shoveling snow didn't hear any noise and continued to do the work at hand.

.............

After Alexandra was given medicine to maintain her lung capacity, her breathing difficulties were finally relieved, but she dared not say thank you or apologize. She just placed her hands lightly on her chest, her eyes a little evasive, and she said nothing like a child who had made a mistake. It was a long time before she spoke.

"sorry..."

Jiang Ming was still boiling medicine for her. His originally expressionless and somewhat angry face changed slightly at this moment, but he then continued to boil the medicine in his hand as if he didn't hear it. Soon he handed a bowl of boiled medicine to Alexandra's mouthful and fed her mouthful by mouthful.

Since Jiang Ming was very good at taking care of people, especially in making medicine, cooking, and examining bodies, Maxim entrusted him with the task of taking care of Alexandra.

She almost got into an accident just now, so she couldn't make any violent movements now. Jiang Ming wouldn't allow even something as simple as sitting up to take medicine.

"Miss Alexandra."

Jiang Ming fed the not-so-bitter medicine into Alexandra's mouth spoonful by spoonful. As Jiang Ming said this, she just listened. She knew that she had no reason to refute, and it would only make Jiang Ming even angrier. If he told Maxim and the others, there would be some blame and worry.

But the expected blame and worry did not appear, instead there was Jiang Ming's gentle comfort.

"It's okay. I won't tell Maxim and the others about this. But if there's anything you need to do, just tell me and I'll definitely help you do it. But you really can't do anything drastic. Even if you don't consider us, you should consider you and the baby in your belly. Everything we've done so far is for this. Otherwise... we'll all be sad."

The medicine had been given. Alexandra stared at Jiang Ming, who was smiling helplessly at her, and nodded after a long while.

"...Well, thank you. It must be hard to take care of me, right?"

"No way. As a logistics staff for Tianming, I have taken care of many people before, so this is no problem for me. Speaking of which... today's lunch is carrot and beet soup. Don't worry, it has sour cream."

"That's really exciting."

“Hmm? This is…?”

Jiang Ming suddenly found several small plant specimens in a hidden corner beside the bed. Alexandra, whose condition had improved a little, brought these specimens to Jiang Ming.

"Ah... These are plant specimens that I found by accident. If you want them, I'll give them to you as a reward for helping me."

"Thank you so much! Maybe they can be of help to me in the future."

After Jiang Ming received the plant specimens, the two chatted for a long time, but they tacitly did not talk about their families. They just talked about their future plans and daily trivial matters.
