Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 279

"What are you doing?" She asked, suppressing her heartbeat that had skittered and turned a tad bit wild when she saw the man feed the baby. Why did he have to look so cool and attentive while doing something so simple?

"Ah they said that they didn't have enough hands and asked me to feed the children," replied Lei Qian with a smile on his lips. He comforted the baby in his hand when the little one started to cry and then turned to look at Bai Meiyue before saying, "Aren't they cute?"

Bai Meiyue calmly looked at the child in his arms and didn't say anything. Maybe it was because her son was not in her arms; Bai Meiyue didn't like looking at other children. She simply hummed and turned to look at the children in the incubators. There were more than ten children in the incubators, which meant that they would have to take these incubators along with them.

However, that was not the problem.

Bai Meiyue raised her head and looked at Shen Zhen before saying to her, "Are you sure that you want to take these babies with you? The outside world is tainted with the doomsday virus. If these babies are taken out, there is a chance that they will turn into zombies."

"Don't worry, even if they die, we will not blame you," it was Doctor Cui who answered instead of Shen Zhen.

"Doctor Cui!" Zhou Hongbei looked at him in shock but the man simply glanced at him and stated, "There is no need to look at me. This is not the time to think with your heart, Doctor Zhou. I know that you want to save every child but some things are not in our hands and it all depends on natural selection."

When Bai Meiyue heard his words, she raised a corner of her mouth. Natural selection. She had to admit that Doctor Cui saw things thoroughly and knew what kind of decisions to make. Even though they sounded harsh, the man was not wrong.

"Doctor Cui is right, Doctor Zhou," said Shen Zhen with a helpless expression. "These children cannot stay inside the incubator room for the next few years of their lives, and we cannot be sure that they will not turn into zombies just because they grew up. Maybe they will still turn into zombies after contacting the outside air."

"And it's impossible to keep the sterile atmosphere for more than six months." Doctor Cui added sternly. "The machines are running on the backup power banks but they will not run for more than six months. Do you think that we can keep the babies inside the incubator room? Its high time we take them out."

Zhou Hongbei knew that the two of them were right but he just couldn't help but feel sad. Three out of ten babies were already dead and the fourth one had turned into a zombie; there was no way it would grow up.
