Chapter 887: Kill At Sight
Bai Meiyue’s question was simple, and yet no one was able to answer it. The nurses lowered their heads, not even daring to say a word because they knew that they could not tell the truth to Bai Meiyue. The situation outside was not good. There were human-faced spiders that were slowly getting close to the safe base, and they were surrounded by the ability users brought over by Dacheng and Lu Yin. Without Bai Meiyue, the chances of them winning this battle were close to impossible.
But what Shen Zhen said to them was also correct. They could not always rely on Bai Meiyue; after all, the woman had done everything that she could for them. How could they always rely on her for every small and big thing? That could not possibly be allowed. After all, Bai Meiyue was their leader, not their protector and bodyguard. She could help them today, but she could not always help them. It was better to rely on themselves.
"Miss Bai, please continue walking. There is no need for you to worry about such things. If there is a need for you to take over, you will be told about the situation. Since you haven’t been called, there is no need for you to rush over yet." One of the nurses spoke in a detached tone. When the other nurses heard her tone, they all looked over, but the one who spoke did not apologise. She simply glanced at the nurses before continuing, "I am sorry for being straightforward, but you are in no condition to fight. So even if there is a battle going on, you need to stay inside and give birth."
"Your condition is not good; the child has stopped moving, and if his head doesn’t come down, then there is a possibility you might have haemorrhage. You have taken too many risks in the past few days, and your exertion has reached past the limit for a pregnant woman. So please bear with it; even if you are worried, remember that nothing is more important than the child in your womb."
The nurse knew Bai Meiyue’s condition better than anyone. Naturally, she knew that the woman wouldn’t be able to withstand any more tossing around. Especially in her current situation. If Bai Meiyue had stayed put and rested enough, then her condition would have been better, but due to her actions of overexerting herself, she had put herself at risk. The child would definitely be fine, but Bai Meiyue—the nurse’s gaze turned serious. If she didn’t stop, then there was a good chance that the woman would die during childbirth.
She pursed her lips and turned her gaze away after she finished speaking. She did not wish to hurt Bai Meiyue.
But she was also worried that Bai Meiyue would end up ruining herself. It was clear that the woman was worried about everything. From her child to the safe base. But she was not worried about her own self. One could see Bai Meiyue’s obsession clearly. She wanted peace and the safety of her child more than her own safety. While this was a good thing at the end of the time, at the same time, this kind of obsession was not good for a woman who was carrying a child.
What would happen to Bai Meiyue if she did not care for herself?
Shen Zhen had not said anything for the time being, but the nurse knew what was going on. Bai Meiyue’s condition was not optimistic. If she did not push herself through this ordeal, who knows what might happen?
Bai Meiyue pursed her lips after being scolded. She glanced at the safe base and sighed heavily. What the nurse said was indeed true. She had been pushing her body too much. It seemed like this matter would have to wait until she was done giving birth to this child.
Outside the village, a bunch of solar streetlights were flickering as the human-faced spiders rushed toward the safe base. Team Alpha and Team Beta, which were waiting for the group of ability users to surge forward, immediately charged at the group of enemies that were rushing toward them. When the two sides clashed, the street lights went out.
In the small camp outside, the commoners felt threatened. The survivors raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the human-faced spiders were heading toward them. When they sensed that danger was coming, the men immediately picked up the fire guns that were given to them to protect themselves and rushed toward the human-faced spiders as well as the ability users. While the ability users were pushed back, the human-faced spiders were really hard to defend against. There were too many human-faced spiders; they could only delay them as much as possible.
When Lu Yu saw that the human-faced spiders were being aided by the ability users brought by Dacheng, he immediately ordered a kill-on-sight order. Before, he thought that he would leave those ability users alone if they surrendered. But now that these ability users were fighting to the death with their safe base, there was no need for them to hold back.
"Kill whoever resists." Lu Yu snapped when he saw that the two teams were fighting without killing the ability users. "You are fighting a war. Not training in the training centre!"
Lu Yu knew that many of the ability users were not used to killing humans. But this time around, they had no other choice but to kill these ability users.
His commands caused the two teams to charge at the human-faced spiders as well as the ability users. While it was easier for them to kill the ability users, it was quite difficult for them to deal with the human-faced spiders. Bai Jixuan did not have the time to kill the human-faced spiders—at the moment, he was aiming for the ability users who were trying to break into the safe base.
"You bastards!"
