Gu Hang, who was ready, hurried forward to help her, "She might be in labor."
This was the most troublesome thing.
He didn’t know how to deliver a baby.
Moreover, the troubles caused by childbirth were far from as simple as he had thought.
"Going into labor?" Lin Fan was surprised and then said, "Then let’s hurry, in our Sunshine District, Grandma Xu is a former military doctor with exquisite medical skills. She’ll certainly have a way."
Gu Hang was overjoyed; he hadn’t expected that there would be a former military doctor in the Sunshine District.
This was one of the most important people in a post-apocalyptic world.
Just as they were leaving.
"Did you bring your bank card?" Lin Fan asked casually.
"Ah? What do I need a bank card for?"
"You have to pay for renting a house."
Gu Hang was startled, then felt his pocket, indeed there was a wallet, "I brought it."
He was a bit confused by Lin Fan’s question, but still maintained his composure.
"Lin Fan, you don’t think pregnant women are a burden, do you?" Gu Hang asked. This was his concern; he was afraid that Lin Fan would take them to Sunshine District and then say that pregnant women were a burden and couldn’t be taken in. Then Yang Hui would be left with no choice but death. But staying here, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Lin Fan didn’t expect Gu Hang to ask such a question, "How could that be, you two are my guests."
Gu Hang had a car. Since the pregnant woman was not convenient to move, they could only drive to the Sunshine District. The sound of the car was indeed likely to attract zombies, but it didn’t matter, at least for Lin Fan, zombies were really nothing.
Grandma Xu was checking Yang Hui’s body inside the room.
Lin Fan and Gu Hang sat on the couch, "Look at the layouts here; they are all very good. Do you have a preference?"
As a qualified real estate agent, one must seize the time to work.
Gu Hang looked at the people in the room.
Wang Kai was picking his nose.
Feifei and Tingting were playing games facing each other, one tap after another...
Yan Nini and Li Mei were whispering and laughing together.
Chen He was reading books, learning the network knowledge within them.
Elder Wang said, "Gu Hang, what are you dawdling for? As a soldier, you must be decisive and swift. Lin Fan has laid out the floor plans in front of you, just pick one at random; the price is cheap anyway."
Gu Hang didn’t think the others were strange, instead, he felt they were accustomed to this way of doing things. He hadn’t expected to meet a former senior officer here. Heeding the senior officer’s words, he carefully looked at the layouts, understanding the implication.
"This one then," Gu Hang pointed at one of the apartment layouts.
"Building 2, Unit 2, Room 204, uh, quite nice," Lin Fan smiled, "The price of this layout isn’t expensive, fifteen hundred a month. I suggest renting for half a year to start, plus the agency fee, which is an extra month’s rent. Can you accept that?"
Elder Wang said, "Gu Hang, if you have a bank card, give it to Lin Fan. He will handle it for you. Lin Fan is a trustworthy person, you can confidently hand it over to him."
"Understood, General."
Wang Kai, who was picking his nose, felt very ashamed when he saw Gu Hang take out the bank card.
He had once encountered a colleague asking to borrow money; he didn’t want to embarrass the other person or to let them know that he also had none, so he had to tell them:
"There are many ways to humiliate someone, but you chose the most vicious way to humiliate me. We’re about the same age; if even you have none, how can you assume that I do?"
Grandma Xu walked in from the house.
"Grandma Xu, how is the situation?" Gu Hang asked anxiously.
Grandma Xu said, "She’s started dilating, and might give birth soon, the environment here is not good, and we’re lacking tools, there’s an extremely high risk. All men listen up, stay out of here. Li Mei, Yan Nini, and the others might have a hard time later, you’ll need to cooperate with me and Grandma Liang, we can only give it our all."
Everyone’s expressions were solemn.
The dangers of giving birth at home go without saying.
Better safe than sorry.
Giving birth is like taking a walk at the gates of hell, if a real danger occurs, it could be life-threatening.
"Giving birth is very painful."
Lin Fan thought, then, with that in mind, he stood up, drew Frost Mourne from behind him, and walked towards the door.
"Little Fan, where are you going?" Elder Wang asked.
The people inside the house all looked towards Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Giving birth is very painful, and you need to shout to get the strength, I’ll go stand at the entrance of the district, I can tell her it’s okay to shout to her heart’s content, I can guard the entrance of the district."
Gu Hang knew Lin Fan was very capable, but still worriedly said, "It’s very dangerous, we could actually move to a safer location, a closed environment..."
He was cut off before he could finish.
"Danger is not the most important thing, a general once said, we must fight to create time for the child to be born, I’ll guard the door, striving for a safe environment is not a problem."
"We’re facing the apocalypse, awaiting the arrival of hope, this hope could be us, it also could be said to be her, her, and her..."
He pointed to Feifei, Tingting, and Mengmeng.
"Hope is something we create together, and in the end, it is something we leave for the children."
"When giving birth, pay attention to the environment, ensure air circulation, it’ll be okay..."
"Besides, I am the security guard of Sunshine District, the one with a monthly salary of five thousand. If I take this money, I must do things worthy of it."
Having said that, he turned and left.
The people watched as Lin Fan’s figure departed.
The studious Tingting, not fully understanding, asked, "Grandpa Wang, which general said that?"
Always asking when she didn’t understand something.
Elder Wang patted Tingting’s head and slowly said, "During the Long March, there was a female warrior who needed to give birth, with the enemy forces always tailing them. General Dong decisively led his troops to fight the enemy and ordered that they must fight long enough for the child to be born. In that battle, he led his warriors to hold off the enemy about a kilometer away. They defended for several hours until the female warrior had given birth."
"Many warriors died in that fight, some didn’t understand why sacrifice so many lives just for one child?"
"When someone questioned him later, General Dong became very angry and said, for whom are we sacrificing and bleeding? Isn’t it for the children, the people we are protecting? This is a battle only our countrymen can understand, foreigners won’t get it."
At the entrance of the district.
A chair, a person, a sword.
Lin Fan sat upright there, hands stacked over each other, his palms pressing down on the hilt of Frost Mourne, his eyes calm yet piercing as he stared straight ahead.
The breeze blew gently.
His heart was at peace.
He was like the Guardian God of Sunshine District, silently waiting, silently protecting.
A security guard is not a regular army.
But the responsibility he carried could not be taken lightly.
This was no longer just about money.
It was the security uniform he wore that made him understand that the safety of the district was his burden to bear.
PS: This is the last Chapter before going paid. I’ll write a word of thanks for going paid shortly, yes indeed...
