Chapter 390 Fan Jianhao's Good Fortune
The Nanling base was thrown into turmoil by the news of a pregnant zombie.
This is mainly reflected in the surge in sales of a certain product in the base's online store, which previously had few buyers.
The once dissolute Morse was now lost in thought. He had had many casual affairs with women, and he was afraid that one day the mother of one of his children would come to his door with her child, demanding that he take responsibility.
The incredibly awful Morse considered the worst-case scenario and kept a close eye on the hospital's situation. Fortunately, he didn't hear of any other pregnancies in the short term, and Morse breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Due to various factors, Morse, who hadn't been looking for anyone for over twenty days, had lost all his initial enthusiasm. He thought, "Forget it, doing that kind of thing is quite comfortable, but if I actually end up with a child, it'll be a real problem."
If Sheng Xue knew what he was thinking, she would probably sneer and complain. Given Morse's current ability level, he would basically have to find an ability user of the same or slightly lower level to have a one in ten thousand chance of getting pregnant.
Based on their research and the Zerg's memories, they learned that the probability of conception is higher when individuals of the same species and the same ability level are together, and the probability of conception is higher for those below the third rank than for those above the third rank.
The zombies in their base perfectly fit this description. Their ability levels weren't very high, both being Tier 3, and they were both zombies. They both possessed crystal cores, and their abilities were both branches of water-based abilities, resulting in a fusion of their powers.
If supernatural abilities are mutually exclusive, the probability of having offspring is relatively low. For example, if one supernatural ability is fire and the other is water, the child's chances of survival are relatively small.
Through a series of coincidences, they were able to conceive. They had started preparing for pregnancy before the apocalypse, but then the apocalypse occurred, and they both turned into zombies while crying.
I never expected to be so lucky. Not only did I survive, but I also inexplicably became pregnant.
The two zombies hugged each other and cried again, convinced that their ancestors must have exerted their power underground.
After the news of their having children spread, those who didn't want children rushed to the base's online store to buy cub burp condoms, while some who wanted children came to the hospital for checkups and consultations.
They didn't want to have children right now, since there were other races on this planet. They wanted to wait until their lives were more stable before having children.
Two ordinary people came to ask Sheng Xue when would be the best time for them to have children. Neither of them had awakened their superpowers yet, and if they waited until then to have their awakened genes injected, there was no guarantee that they would be able to split into the same species.
"We're worried that after awakening, one of us will become a crystal core creature and the other a superpowered core creature. Would that make it more difficult for us to have children?" the woman asked nervously.
"Yes, it will indeed be quite difficult, with an extremely low probability, because there will be rejection. According to the data, it seems that the number of mixed-race people in the entire Federation is less than one in a thousand."
Half of this information was obtained from the Parasitic Flower Mother Clan, and the other half was seen from the Star Network connected to Su Xuan's Ability Ring.
Recently, Zhang Wenjing, Xian Wenrui, and others have been working on connecting to the StarNet. Now, most of the StarNet work is done by them, but surprisingly, they are not making any noise. Is this going to work?
So Zhang Wenjing and Xian Wenrui have recently been leading their research group to study how to connect to the Star Network. I heard that they have made progress, and their special ability ring will probably be able to be upgraded again soon.
Hearing Sheng Xue's words, the couple was even more troubled. "But if we get pregnant now, the child will probably still be an ordinary person. Will the child still need to receive the awakening gene injection after birth?"
"Statistically speaking, that should be the case, but there is no other experience to refer to at the moment, so it is not certain. However, if one is born as an ordinary person, there is a high probability that one will still need to awaken superpowers."
Although the couple doesn't have children yet, they're already preparing to push their child to excel. "Will a child who develops superpowers later in life be weaker than a child who develops superpowers innately?"
Sheng Xue put down her pen. "There are two situations. One is that the ability is awakened on its own. This is almost the same as the ability that one is born with. For example, the powerful people in our base have basically awakened their abilities on their own."
"There is another type: those who cannot awaken their superpowers on their own and need to be injected with awakening genes. In terms of strength and talent, they are generally inferior to those who are born with superpowers."
"We will release a summary report later, which will be sold in the hospital. You can buy it if you need it. The report will contain all the details, including feeding issues for these children with congenital arousal."
Sheng Xue had seen off several couples throughout the day and leaned back in her chair, feeling a little tired. There was a knock on her office door. Sheng Xue didn't think much of it and just treated the patient as a new one. Although it was already her lunch break, she still let the person in.
When she saw Fan Jian open the door and come in, Sheng Xue immediately looked up with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Fan Jian, carrying a thermos, said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I brought you some food."
Although she didn't understand why Fan Jian had come, Sheng Xue was in a good mood when she saw him. Looking at the delicious-looking food in the insulated box, she could tell at a glance that Fan Jian had made it himself.
This was indeed done by Fan Jian early in the morning; he even cleverly shaped the eggs into a heart shape.
Fan Jian had never pursued anyone before, let alone Sheng Xue, who had grown up with him. He searched online for those underhanded tactics and sought advice from his good friend Xian Wenrui.
Xian Wenrui got excited when he heard this. Although he felt that no matter how stupid Fan Jian's methods of pursuing her were, Sheng Xue would not refuse, the proper sense of ceremony was still necessary.
Xian Wenrui, a single woman for over twenty years who has spent most of his time with his right hand, has a whole repertoire of methods for pursuing women, leaving Fan Jian exclaiming "Holy crap!" repeatedly.
The way they looked at Xian Wenrui suggested, "Could he really be a genius?"
"Not bad, Xian Wenrui. You must have used these methods to woo quite a few girls before the apocalypse, right?"
Xian Wenrui choked. He was just a shut-in who didn't like going out or socializing, was obsessed with anime and manga, and had countless anime/manga wives. What bad intentions could he possibly have?
While Sheng Xue was eating, Fan Jian took out his schedule, then coughed and casually asked, "By the way, are you busy after get off work?"
Sheng Xue paused for a moment with her chopsticks holding rice, then shook her head. "No, what's wrong?"
Fan Jian raised his voice to hide his embarrassment, "It's nothing, it's just that Xian Wenrui, that guy, he invented holographic projection a while ago, and then he even made a movie about it. The base mall opened a cinema there, and he insisted on giving me a few movie tickets. I thought it would be a waste not to go, so I wanted to ask you..."
"Okay." Amidst his flustered string of excuses, Sheng Xue replied without hesitation.
