Chapter 254: Mother and Daughter Are Safe

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

Yingzhou walked quickly to the military region's Medical Station. From a distance, he saw a 1.9-meter-tall giant with dark gray skin and glowing red pupils standing at the entrance, with Yingzhou's mother standing beside him looking worried.

"Vulkan, how is the situation?"

Yingzhou asked the 1.9-meter-tall giant. This was Vulkan, the Primarch who was not even 10 months old. Even Yingzhou's mother had asked Yingzhou about Vulkan's physical condition several times, but Yingzhou had brushed her off each time.

Although Vulkan had grown to the height of an adult man in such a short time as if he had eaten miracle fertilizer, Yingzhou's mother's love for him had not diminished in the slightest, and Vulkan was also very dependent on his grandmother.

"Father, Mother just went in. I estimate we have to wait a while."

Seeing Yingzhou arrive, Vulkan briefly explained the situation there.

Yingzhou came to his mother's side and offered a few words of comfort.

"Mom, don't worry. Sister-in-law is a Psionic after all, and her physical fitness is better than an ordinary person's. There definitely won't be any accidents."

Yingzhou's mother clasped her hands tightly, her gaze shifting toward the inside of the Medical Station from time to time. The military region's Medical Station was where pregnant female soldiers in the military region gave birth; today, there were also some female soldiers inside waiting to deliver.

"Xiaozhou, I know what you're saying, but I just can't control my feelings. I'm just afraid that your brother's only child will have an accident."

Hearing Yingzhou's mother say this, Vulkan, who was to the side, also spoke up to comfort her.

"Grandmother, don't worry. Mother and little sister will definitely be safe and sound."

After about 20 minutes or so, a female soldier walked out of the Medical Station, saluted Yingzhou, and said.

"Chief, Huang Xi and the child are both safe and sound. Mother and daughter are both well."

After hearing this, Yingzhou asked the female soldier, "Can we go see the child now?"

"Yes. The mother has just finished giving birth and needs a quiet environment to rest. It is best not to stay for too long."

After listening to the female soldier's reminder, Yingzhou nodded, took his mother and Vulkan into the Medical Station, and arrived at the ward where Huang Xi was resting. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a female soldier holding a child, while Huang Xi lay on the hospital bed, covered in sweat, her hair already soaked.

"Chief!"

The female soldier saluted Yingzhou, then handed the child to Yingzhou's mother and said.

"Do not stay here for too long; it is easy to affect the mother's rest."

After the female soldier left, Yingzhou then carefully looked at the daughter born to his elder brother and Huang Xi.

"Vulkan, this is your little sister. Look, how cute."

The worried expression that had previously filled Yingzhou's mother's face had vanished; now, she looked at the child in her arms with a face full of kindness.

"Is this my little sister?"

As Vulkan spoke, he stretched out his right hand, but fearing he might wake his little sister, he pulled it back. He looked at the sleeping infant and her smooth, tender skin; a young life was right before Vulkan.

Yingzhou walked up to Huang Xi and said in a calm tone.

"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard. The child is very cute and also very healthy."

Huang Xi nodded, tears in her eyes as she said, "At least she is the only treasure Yingfang left me in this world. It's a pity..."

Seeing that Huang Xi's expression was somewhat sorrowful, Yingzhou immediately changed the subject.

"You should rest well. After all, taking care of the child later will be quite exhausting."

After Yingzhou spoke a few words with Huang Xi, he saw Lu Zhenda arrive outside the ward, so he said to his mother.

"I have some things to do outside, so I'll head out first."

Yingzhou came outside the ward and said to Lu Zhenda, "Lao Lu, what is it? Why did you come over in such a hurry? Didn't I say that if it isn't a very important matter, you can resolve it yourself? I only need to know that those matters were handled without error."

After becoming the Military District Chief, Yingzhou did not seek out his own Guard, only using the former Military District Chief's Guard to serve as his assistant.

Helping to handle less important matters freed up a lot of time for Yingzhou, preventing him from being exhausted like in his past life, becoming a beast of burden that no one cared about.

Looking at Yingzhou's appearance, Lu Zhenda said to him, unable to laugh or cry.

"Chief, although you said that, there are still some urgent matters that need to be handled. For example, the 46th Legion discovered a Zerg unit. They seem to be carrying a group of Human survivors; it appears they want to take those Human survivors to the Zerg's Breeding Ground."

After hearing this news, Yingzhou lowered his head to ponder for a moment before answering.

"Wait and see for now. Find the location of the Breeding Ground, then report it to me."

Lu Zhenda nodded, looked into the ward, and asked.

"Has the child been born?"

"Yes, just born. It's a cute little girl. Let's go. While I was processing documents earlier, I suddenly heard this news, so I hurried over to check the situation. Now that everything is fine, I should hurry back to finish the documents; it seems there are still many documents piled up there."

After returning to the ward and explaining his situation to his mother and Vulkan, Yingzhou left the Medical Station.

Inside a utility room in the Medical Station, two female soldiers were whispering a conspiracy.

"The master told us to wait until that Yingzhou leaves before we act. Right now, the only Psionic in that ward is lying on the bed, and the other two are just ordinary people; they cannot pose a threat to us. If they block our Task, then we act directly. We must snatch that child away at the fastest speed!"

"Mm, we'll prepare to act once there aren't many people in the Medical Station."

Just as the two were discussing, the door to the utility room was knocked.

"Thump... thump-thump... thump."

The two were instantly alert, and they took out their respective weapons.

Upon hearing the rhythmic knocking on the utility room door, the two finally relaxed and opened the locked door. It was a male soldier. Seeing that both were there, he said.

"Don't be nervous. I came just to tell you that Yingzhou has already left; he should have gone to process documents. We can act in a little while. By the time Yingzhou reacts, the child will long be gone."

Hearing the intelligence provided by this soldier, the two female soldiers nodded and replied.

"I understand, don't worry."

"Don't worry, no problem!"

Seeing that the two female soldiers had agreed, the soldier stepped back two paces and said in a serious tone.

"This time, the child that Master Pu Lie asked us to capture is said to affect the Descent Ritual of that existence. You must be careful. Perhaps that Yingzhou will station some soldiers near the Medical Station to protect his family. You must not underestimate the enemy."

After hearing this, the two female soldiers immediately replied in a low voice.

"Yes, for that great existence!"
