Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies-Chapter 141: Being a mom…
Chapter 141: Being a mom...
The situation in the other buildings and residential areas was particularly alarming, as a surge of pests attempted to invade their homes.
Residents were taken aback by the sudden appearance of these pests, feeling helpless as they scrambled to find ways to defend themselves.
"How can the world be so cruel?"
"Let us breathe! What kind of disaster is this?"
Everyone lamented, unsure of whom to blame, especially at the evacuation center, where sanitation was at its worst.
As rats and cockroaches scurried everywhere, the frightened people jumped from side to side, desperately searching for a safer place.
"Nooo... my supplies! They’ve eaten it all!" a middle-aged woman cried, her voice filled with despair as she watched her provisions being ravaged by the pests.
"Heh, good for you, you old hag. You’re too greedy. If only you had shared with us, many would have benefited," a man scolded her for being selfish and hoarding her resources.
"I would rather let it be fed to dogs than share it with you! How dare you scold me when you hoarded so much and still beg for others’ supplies?" the woman retorted.
Fights and brawls had become the new norm as people sought an outlet for their frustration.
This disaster had truly overwhelmed the government, prompting them to focus all their efforts on the evacuation center.
There were also reports of mutated pests sighted in other buildings, causing havoc and devastation among the residents.
Meanwhile, when the residents of Camel Tower buildings learned about a mysterious shop selling pesticides, they quickly rowed their improvised boats to check it out.
The moment they entered the building, they were greeted by a fresh floral scent.
They quickly made their way upstairs and noticed some residents spraying in the corners.
Curious, they asked one of the residents about the situation and, at the same time, inquired about the location of the mysterious shop.
The resident simply answered, not bothering to hide the information, since the shop claimed it could cater to everyone as long as they had jades.
"Thanks," they said.
The resident nodded and continued his work.
On the other hand, Elena was helping Grandpa Ford harvest a variety of fruits inside the space.
The Fruit Farming section was filled with ripe apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, and peaches.
Elena could have commanded the Golden Tablet to harvest the ripe fruits, but seeing the kids’ enthusiasm, she decided to let them experience the joy of harvesting instead.
Sighing, she had intended to help at the Paradise Shop, but Ethan insisted she stay inside, worried that the smell of pesticides might harm the baby.
Elena protested, explaining that she was wearing a mask, so there was no need to panic.
But her husband stood firm, leading to a playful banter that Little Mia watched with amusement, teasing them both.
"Yay! Sis Ewe and Bwother Tan are mooching! I’m going to tell Grandpa about this," Little Mia exclaimed, about to run off when she heard a stern voice.
Ethan knew his wife was sensitive, especially when the kids witnessed her in embarrassing moments, so he quickly stopped his niece and created an alibi.
"I was just kissing the baby so he could feel my presence."
"Is that so?" Little Mia replied, a hint of doubt in her voice.
Elena supported her husband, saying, "Haist, Little Mia, your brother Ethan and I were just talking to the baby—nothing else. Now, we should head to Paradise and help Grandpa Ford harvest the fruits. You promised to help him a while ago."
This diversion worked, and Little Mia was excited to enter the space.
Before stepping inside, Elena shot her husband a glare, silently indicating that they would talk later.
She needed to tell him that she wasn’t a porcelain doll that could easily break.
Plus, Aunt Liza had assured her that the baby was growing healthy, so there was no need for him to be overly protective.
Back in the present, Grandpa Ford demonstrated to the kids how to properly harvest each fruit, and they eagerly asked questions whenever they found something difficult to understand.
"Grandpa, why are these grapes so sour?" Little Koby asked, wrinkling his little face after tasting one.
He was confused because the one he had tasted earlier was sweet.
"Those grapes are used for wine, Little Koby. Come here and taste this one," Grandpa Ford replied.
Little Koby went over and took a grape, and the sweet taste made him smile brightly.
"So sweet!" he exclaimed.
Their laughter was so infectious that Elena couldn’t help but smile as they picked the ripe fruits from the trees.
Little Mia, Koby, and their new friend, Little Lucy, had become great friends over the past few days.
Elena watched them happily while caressing her belly, hoping her child would also be as joyful as they were when they grew up.
Afterward, tired from their activities, Elena retrieved a dessert for snacks, and they enjoyed it together.
She then used her Golden Tablet to harvest the rest of the ripe fruits. freёnovelkiss.com
Later, she let the kids swim in the eastern lake, allowing them to have fun since she had time to babysit them.
They had a wonderful time in the space, and Elena began to think about creating an amusement park for them.
Maybe she could salvage some item later.
If this had been her in the past, she would have definitely sneered at the idea of keeping what she considered useless stuff.
But now, as she was about to become a mother, all she wanted was the best for her child—to create cherished memories as the baby grew up.
She sighed.
"Come on, it’s time to head back after playing all day."
"Okay, Sis Ewe!" Little Mia replied.
Upon returning to her unit, she saw her husband reading some strange books again.
She approached him, and they talked extensively about pregnancy care.
Elena expressed her frustrations about being treated as weak.
While she appreciated her husband’s care, she didn’t want to be seen as a porcelain doll.
Ethan compromised, asking her to promise to prioritize her safety above all else.
Of course, Elena agreed.
They then enjoyed a hearty dinner together, with Ethan lovingly helping her pick her favorite foods.
This had become their daily routine as they nurtured the baby amidst the ongoing disaster.
