Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies-Chapter 139: Announcing

"What happened?" General Kaiser asked, noticing the anxious expression on the military personnel’s faces.

"There are mutated rats spotted among the pests that appeared suddenly," General Reid explained.

Many of them were rampaging around the old abandoned warehouse, and if not controlled, they might enter the military residential building.

The worst part was that it was difficult to kill them, as bullets seemed ineffective against them.

"The bullets are still effective on the smaller mutated animals; you just need to hit them multiple times to penetrate their defenses. A powerful explosive can also kill them instantly," General Kaiser suggested based on his previous experience.

The military leaders took his suggestion seriously and quickly formed a squadron to eliminate the mutated pests in the warehouse.

Days had passed, the prestige of the Paradise Shop quickly spread among the buildings in Camel Tower, prompting more residents to visit.

It became so popular that people began to queue in long lines, causing confusion for those who didn’t know what was happening.

Many initially thought it was a government relief operation, but when they realized it was a private shop selling supplies, they quickly returned to their homes to gather more funds.

By dawn, they had managed to serve everyone, prompting Elena to decide that they would only entertain customers before midnight from then on.

While she needed jades and antiques, she understood that it wasn’t worth sacrificing their health to achieve it.

Her team still needed to rest well, as the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous. They had to be in good shape to fight back.

"Good job today! Rest now; we will continue once everyone is well-rested," Elena said.

Everyone nodded, tired from their activities but feeling accomplished, having gathered a significant amount of jades and antiques.

The next day, Elena and Ethan finally decided to reveal her pregnancy after a thorough check-up.

Ethan was more excited than his wife, imagining the shocked expressions of everyone as he bragged about becoming a dad.

"Let’s have breakfast first. What dishes do you want this time?" he asked.

"I’m craving sweet and sour foods," Elena replied.

"Alright, sit down," Ethan said with a smile.

He prepared a variety of dishes, allowing his wife to choose what the baby might want.

There were Sweet and Sour Chicken, Mango Salsa, Citrus Salad, Sweet and Sour Cabbage Slaw, and Pineapple Fried Rice.

To accompany the meal, he made Cucumber juice, which had become Elena’s favorite drink.

Ethan prepared plenty so she could enjoy it whenever she wanted.

Seeing his wife eat with gusto filled Ethan with contentment. This was the life he wanted—simple and sincere.

’If only the disaster hadn’t come and they could live peacefully, it would have been perfect.’

But there were no ’ifs’ in this world.

As the world changed around them, he knew he had to adapt and redouble his efforts so that his wife wouldn’t have to carry the burden alone.

Afterwards, they went to Grandpa Caldwell’s unit and gathered everyone for an announcement.

Confusion spread across the faces of the members as they tried to guess what disaster they would face this time.

Once everyone was settled in the living room, Elena began to speak. "Why the long faces? What I’m about to announce is not about a disaster."

Now, everyone was intrigued, eager to know what the announcement would be.

"Well, I am pregnant."

Everyone paused and then looked at Elena’s belly with wide eyes. Their expressions were synchronized, making Elena chuckle a little.

"You’re pregnant? Does this mean I’m going to have great-grandchildren?" Grandpa Caldwell exclaimed.

"Yes, Grandpa," Ethan confirmed proudly. "And I’m going to be a dad."

Cheers and congratulations erupted from the group, filling the room with warmth and joy. freeweɓnovel.cøm

This news brought them hope amidst the ongoing disaster, as a new life would soon be born. They were equally excited for Elena and Ethan.

"Thank you, everyone! Let’s have dinner to celebrate," Ethan suggested.

It was a perfect opportunity for everyone to relax and enjoy the moment together.

On the other hand, the kids, especially little Mia, were confused about why the adults were so happy while surrounding her sister Elena.

She went to her Grandma Ford and asked, "Gwandma, why is evewyone so happy?"

"Well, your sis Ele will soon have a baby, and you will become their aunt," Grandma Ford gently explained, patting her head.

"Baby! Where is the baby?" Little Mia exclaimed, dashing towards Elena to see the baby.

Grandma Ford wanted to stop and explain further, but Little Mia had already run to Elena’s side.

"Sis Ewe, Sis Ewe!" Little Mia called out, seeking her attention.

Elena was so happy to see little Mia healthy and energetic. She held her small hands and replied, "Yes, Little Mia."

"Sis Ewe, where is the baby?" Little Mia asked, her innocent eyes wide with expectation.

"The baby is still in my belly, and it will be born when the time comes," Elena explained, smiling at her curiosity.

"When is that?" Little Mia asked, tilting her head, her brows furrowing in thought.

Elena chuckled softly and took little Mia to sit on the sofa.

"Well, the baby will come out in a few months. Right now, the baby is growing and getting stronger inside my belly."

Little Mia’s eyes sparkled with wonder. "The baby is inside your tummy?"

"Exactly!" Elena said, her heart warming at Mia’s enthusiasm.

"And when the baby arrives, you’ll be the best big sister ever! You can help me take care of them, and we can play together."

Little Mia clapped her hands, her face lighting up with joy.

"I can’t wait to meet the baby! I’ll be the best auntie! Sis Ewe, can I touch your tummy? I want to tawk to the baby."

Elena laughed and placed Little Mia’s hands on her belly. "Alright, Little Mia can talk now. The baby is listening."

"Baby, come out soon so Auntie can hug and pway with you. I love you!" Little Mia said excitedly.

Everyone laughed at Little Mia’s antics, enjoying the sweet moment together.

But their joyful gathering was interrupted when little Koby screamed, pointing at the balcony.

"Look! Look! There are a lot of them!" he shouted, his eyes wide with fear.
