803 Home and Country (2)

Bai Xiaoting smiled with understanding, touched Ye Han's head and said: "It's okay, I understand, I really understand, so many military wives have gone through this, and I am no different."

She has never been pregnant, but there are more than one military wives around her who have been pregnant and given birth. When things happen to others, she is also very sad, but she always feels that it is understandable. After all, soldiers are a very special profession. But when the same thing is about to happen to herself, she feels very lost and has a dull pain from the bottom of her heart.

Although Bai Xiaoting didn't say anything, Ye Han felt the same way and hugged Bai Xiaoting tightly. At this time, silence is better than words.

After a long time, Ye Han said sullenly: "I want to stay with you."

Bai Xiaoting forced a smile: "Don't be silly."

Ye Han also knew that what he said was too silly, but some words were stupid and false, and he also had an impulse to speak out.

Bai Xiaoting hugged Ye Han tightly with her backhand: "I know you feel sorry for me, but... but since I married you, I have been prepared in my heart."

Ye Han's voice was still so muffled: "I would rather you didn't!"

"Then can I still be with you?"

Ye Han raised his head suddenly: "You are mine!"

"I didn't say no!" Bai Xiaoting smiled, "Think about it, if you didn't serve as a soldier, how could we have the current treatment?"

Ye Han couldn't help but be silent, this is a truth that couldn't be more real.

In recent years, the Chinese people have become accustomed to insect disasters and giant insects that appear from time to time around them. It seems that even the country has become accustomed to the existence of giant insects, but the so-called habit is nothing more than the Chinese people adapting to the living environment after the insect disaster, the ravages of giant insects and the death around them.

From the national level, although the situation in recent years has improved due to the construction of Beiyuezhou, the overall situation is still severe, especially the high military expenditure, which has seriously affected the lives of ordinary Chinese people. Two-thirds of the 800 million Chinese people remain on the poverty line, and the other one-third lack food and clothing, and can't even get enough food and clothing.

The special nature of the military profession determines that national resources will inevitably tilt towards the military, and preferential treatment for military families is also an aspect of resource tilt. To put it bluntly, it is precisely because of the soldiers' efforts on the battlefield that they have earned priority in rationing for their families. Even if they are just ordinary soldiers' families, at least food and clothing are not a problem. Many young and beautiful girls marry soldiers for the special treatment of military families.

Soldiers like Ye Han who squeeze into the ranks of senior officers have better treatment for their families. Even Bai Xiaoting herself can't tell whether marrying Ye Han has this factor!

Very utilitarian, but very realistic. Even before the insect plague, marriage must give priority to family conditions and other things. There are cases like those in novels and movies where people do everything for love, but in the chaotic era of insect plagues, survival is the first priority, and everything else must give way to survival.

After a long silence, Ye Han touched Bai Xiaoting's flat belly, imagining that her belly was getting bigger and bigger every day: "I want to be with you, especially when you give birth, I can be with you."

Bai Xiaoting was touched, but she had to say: "I understand, but don't be silly, I can take care of myself, and there are people in the base to take care of us pregnant women, don't worry."

Ye Han thought of Jupiter's moon, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "The base is not that safe. In my opinion, it's best to go back to the space city. Isn't it standard gravity there? Take the time to go up while the child is still young. If the child grows up, you can't ride a rocket with a big belly."

If it weren't for the low gravity of Beiyuezhou, returning to Beiyuezhou to wait for delivery would be the best choice.

Bai Xiaoting hesitated: "Is it appropriate? If you go back to the space city, the child will have to stay there after it is born. What if aliens come over?"

"This..." Ye Han thought about it and it was right. The space city is isolated outside the moon. Unless the aliens are blind, it is impossible not to see the space city.

Let Bai Xiaoting stay in the space city with the child... Let's forget it.

"I thought wrong." Ye Han quickly admitted his mistake, "You can't stay on the moon, and the space city won't work either, so you can only stay on Earth... How about this, I'll think of a way to send you to the northwest!"

"Northwest?" Bai Xiaoting was stunned.

"Yes, it's the northwest." Ye Han said, "The Westward Plan built several underground cities, which are good except that there is no sunlight. It is much safer than the ground."

"Will it work? Aren't the bugs underground much bigger than the bugs on the ground?"

"It depends on the situation... Let me tell you this, I can't think of a safer place than the underground city." Ye Han looked directly into Bai Xiaoting's eyes and said.

The Westward Plan has a long history. In recent years, many people have been migrated to the west. However, after the aliens landed, the transformation of the giant worms no longer relied on the natural selection of microorganisms all over the world, but was transformed by the aliens in a targeted and purposeful manner.

In this case, it is a joke to stop the giant worms with plateaus and high altitudes. The original Westward Plan failed completely.

But Beidu kept pace with the times and formulated a new westward expansion plan.

This plan no longer built cities on the ground, but built underground cities based on various underground spaces, such as large air-raid shelters left over from the last century, and various natural caves.

Bai Xiaoting shook her head and said, "I can't see where the underground city is safe. Aren't aliens particularly good at digging holes?"

"It depends on what hole it is. The underground city must be reinforced with cement. How can aliens dig it whenever they want?" Ye Han sighed at this point, "Given the current situation, who knows when ants will occupy the earth."

He suddenly thought of the Chinese giant ants that are spread all over the country. If there are still hidden aliens in the country, it won't take long for the domestic ant colonies to explode like Africa and South America.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay in Qiongzhou." Bai Xiaoting suddenly said.

Ye Han was stunned: "Why?"

"Because Qiongzhou is safer." Bai Xiaoting said, "You think the underground city is safe, but I don't think so. It doesn't matter if there is nothing wrong there, but how many people can escape if something happens? Qiongzhou is different. If aliens attack, you can run inland, and if bugs attack, you can go to space. Where do you think it is safe to stay?"

Ye Han smiled bitterly: "If aliens really attack, no place is safe."

"That's it?" Bai Xiaoting touched her belly, "If it doesn't work, I will go to space. If the space city is dangerous, I will return to Beiyuezhou. It doesn't matter if I can't return to Earth in the future."

Ye Han stared into Bai Xiaoting's eyes, and finally nodded heavily, but secretly made up his mind that he would not let the aliens succeed no matter what.
