Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Long Aotian’s Face Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Long Aotian’s Face “Hmm, the base must be involved, but you can’t rule out the True Martial Sect,”
Lu Hao said.

“The True Martial Sect? How could that be?”

Su Jin had never considered the True Martial Sect.

“Wu Xingye is unlikely, but with so many people in the True Martial Sect, you can’t completely rule it out, after all… As the Base Leader of a base, do you think he would come to this overgrown backyard of the True Martial Sect?”

This small western-style building was completely within the True Martial Sect’s sphere of influence, and Wu Xingye had also mentioned during casual conversations that officials from the base never set foot within the territory of their True Martial Sect, which is why he suspected someone from the True Martial Sect might be implicated.

Lu Hao looked at the stunned Su Jin and continued, “But no matter who did it, we will definitely catch them. Xiao Jin, just rest easy.”

He had already set up a small Confinement Formation around the bomb, so if that person went back to the scene, they would definitely be trapped inside.

“Thank you, it’s lucky you were here,”
Su Jin sincerely said. If it wasn’t for Lu Hao finding that bomb, she would never have recognized it.

“Daughter-in-law, what are you two muttering about outside the gate?”

Lu Guanhai had heard the voices outside while he was in the Lu Residence, and sure enough, it was Su Jin and Lu Hao. He was still waiting in the Space for them to reach the small western-style building before pulling him out of it; even the Face-changing pill had been taken.

“Dad, we climbed up through the balcony at the back of the building, but the balcony door was locked. We’ll see when Xiuyuan and the others get in,”
Su Jin explained.

“What? You’re climbing walls in your condition?”

Lu Guanhai felt like his heart might leap out of his chest from the shock–pregnant and climbing walls?

“Dad, we didn’t climb, the plants lifted us up,”
Lu Hao also tried to explain.

“Still, that’s not okay! Xiao Jin is pregnant now, standing so high up, how could you?”

Lu Guanhai shouted loudly.

“Who? Who’s pregnant?”

At that moment, Su Xiangzhe and Nie Qing happened to enter the space, and Lu Guanhai’s words were heard by them without missing a beat.

“…”

Su Jin knew she couldn’t hide it any longer; she had been planning to find the right time to tell everyone soon, but unexpectedly the news came out under these circumstances.

“Dad, it’s Xiao Jin, she’s pregnant,”
Lu Hao said with a smile to Su Xiangzhe.

“Pregnant? When did this happen? How long has it been? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Su Xiangzhe fired off a rapid succession of soul-searching questions, miffed that Lu Guanhai knew before himself–the father.

Yet, finding out that his daughter was pregnant, even in the midst of an Apocalypse, was quite a surprise.

“Dad, I only found out not long ago, and I was looking for the right occasion to tell everyone together,”
Su Jin said sheepishly, although she was more concerned about everyone worrying over her taking on tasks.

“Alright, alright, the girl being pregnant is a happy event. The two of you men stop questioning here, let’s go inside quickly,”
Uncle Nie intervened, reminding them that they were still standing at the entrance of the Lu Residence.

“Who? Who’s pregnant?”

Li Xiuying’s voice also came from inside the Lu Residence. She had been curious about why several people outside hadn’t come in and went out to check, only to overhear Uncle Nie’s words.

Could it be Xiao Jin who’s pregnant at this time?

“…”

Su Jin had to take her grandmother to explain it all over again.

However, Li Xiuying didn’t seem to have any intention of blaming Su Jin because she was now almost overwhelmed with joy from the good news.

“Xiao Jin, do you feel any discomfort? You haven’t overexerted yourself, have you?”

This was Li Xiuying’s foremost concern.

“Grandma, I’m fine, everyone doesn’t need to worry,”
Su Jin comforted everyone, and Lu Hao took the opportunity to change the subject, telling Su Xiangzhe and Nie Qing that they were at the balcony behind the small western-style building in the F city base, and they could go help now.

Su Xiangzhe was still immersed in the news of Su Jin’s pregnancy.

After being reminded by Lu Hao, Nie Qing remembered their current situation.

“I’ll go open the door for you. The supplies in the storage bag are almost gone. No one dares to sell them randomly anymore,”
Nie Qing said.

That guy Su Xiangzhe was still beside Su Jin, asking all sorts of questions, probably not noticing what Lu Hao had said.

Lin Xiuyuan and the others outside were very happy to find out Su Jin and Lu Hao had come back; this saved their face, otherwise, Lin Xiuyuan’s boast just a few days ago about trading all the ordinary crystal cores in the base for supplies almost made him lose face.

“Uncle Nie I’ll go, I’ll go, that’s my room. I’ll open the door for them,”
Lin Xiuyuan said excitedly as he ran, with the storage bag still in his pocket. He wanted Su Jin to load all the supplies into it right away!

The balcony door was opened, and Su Jin and Lu Hao waited outside, but after the two entered, they had Lin Xiuyuan lock the balcony door again.

“Rest assured, our sense of security is very strong. We dare not even go in to sleep at night,”
Lin Xiuyuan said with a grin as he opened the storage bag and handed it over to Su Jin.

Su Jin gave a wry smile; that matter could wait until everyone finished work for the day to discuss in detail.

She took out massive amounts of supplies from the space, including rice, flour, and the big pancakes from the kitchen, filling the storage bag in just a few minutes.

“Now I can rest easy. Long Aotian’s face is saved. I’ll go down to get busy. You two make yourselves at home,”
Lin Xiuyuan said with a happy face and then hurriedly ran off.

Watching this hardworking and exhausted family, Su Jin’s heart felt even more touched; she had put them all in danger before.

“Xiao Jin, you should know, this is our first time at the F city base. We won’t let everyone go through this kind of thing again,”
Lu Hao knew what Su Jin was thinking; in front of him, Su Jin’s emotions were always written on her face.

“Yes, I know. I will not only make the person responsible pay the price, but I will also ensure that everyone receives appropriate treatment here,”
Su Jin resolvedly said.

Lu Hao was right; this time they had oversimplified things. It was their first visit to the F city base, and they were unfamiliar with how things worked. If it had been A city or D city, where they had been before and had already established their presence with connections, this would never have happened.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me. Your only task now is to take care of yourself,”
Lu Hao said affectionately as he stroked Su Jin’s head, seeing such matters as easily manageable. Now that he was here, it was time for Long Aotian to take action…

People who were lined up to buy supplies noticed that after noon, the speed at which Long Aotian and his crew worked had more than doubled. The pancakes that had sold out were restocked, and three different-aged men joined the queue selling supplies.

Lu Hao, Lu Guanhai, and Lin Yunguo all worked together, taking the place of Huang Yunxiang and Lin Cheng who had been tired out from several days of work.

“Haha, everyone, these are our head chefs who have been busy in the back with sorting supplies and baking pancakes these past few days. Don’t worry, we have enough supplies that we’ve found, and if you have crystal cores, just get in line. We won’t short anyone,”
Long Aotian announced through the loudspeaker.
