Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Is the Child Going to Be Born?
Gu Zilan hesitated for a moment, "I should call Auntie back..."
Secretary Luo Ji said beside him, "Your Majesty, we do not have anyone else who possesses spatial superpowers and, moreover, even if others do possess spatial superpowers, they wouldn’t be able to do as well as the Commander’s wife."
The reason those people were chasing after Su Wan was entirely because of her identity as Gu Jue’s wife!
Gu Zilan’s eyebrows furrowed together, "I hope, I sincerely hope that Auntie doesn’t encounter any danger..."
Meanwhile, Gu Jue had already led the Universe Alliance Army and engaged in battle with the Insectoids!
Doris smashed everything in the room to the ground, her eyes fierce, "Why! Does Gu Jue not care about the residents on the Empire Main Star at all? Isn’t he worried about his own family?"
An Insectoid subordinate said with an ugly expression, "Your Majesty, we have not yet breached the protective layer of the main star, their residents are all safe. Right now, only some Star Warriors have been injured."
"These useless fools!"
Just as Doris was shaking with anger, someone else ran in. The Insectoid carefully glanced at her and then said, "Your Majesty, Lucifer has fled with his subordinates..."
Doris: !!!!!!!
That damned Lucifer! Those damned Star Thieves!
The Insectoid base was a mess.
Flames reached for the sky, and within a short time, their base began to shake. The Insectoid eggs that had not yet hatched were instantly engulfed by the giant flames.
When Gu Jue learned that Wanwan had used her spatial superpower to help her fellow Star Warriors extend the protective layer’s duration, he could no longer restrain himself.
He wished he could immediately end the battle and then rush back to Wanwan’s side!
It was a brutal war, with Beastmen in mechas falling as well.
But those who suffered greater casualties were the Insectoids!
**
Su Wan had no idea how many times she had teleported; when she once again appeared on the ninth squad’s starship, the Insectoids that had come to attack them were down to less than twenty percent.
The next moment, Su Wan suddenly felt dizzy!
It was Bai Qi, passing by her side, who suddenly reached out to support her, "Captain, what’s wrong?"
Clutching her abdomen, Su Wan said, "I’m not feeling well in my stomach—take me to the medical room."
Bai Qi was stunned, he nodded immediately and notified Sheng An and Qiao through his brain-computer interface to come to the medical room quickly; Qiao was their ninth squad’s medical warrior, Sheng An was closest to Su Wan.
By the time Bai Qi supported Su Wan to the medical room’s bed, Sheng An and Qiao had both arrived quickly. Seeing Su Wan’s pale complexion, they immediately grew anxious!
Seeing Sheng An’s arrival, Bai Qi promptly stepped back, giving his place by the bed to Sheng An.
Sheng An held Su Wan’s hand, "Xiaowan, what’s wrong with you? Have you consumed too much of your superpower?"
Su Wan: "Maybe, but I feel like it could also be that I’m about to give birth, Qiao, check on me, please."
"Yes."
On the side, Sheng An said, "Xiaowan, why don’t we of the ninth squad apply to return to the main star?"
Su Wan shook her head, "There’s no rush for now, let’s wait until Qiao has examined me and the results come out. By the way, is there any news from the Universe Alliance Army’s side?"
Sheng An: "Our forces have penetrated the center of the Insectoids’ base. According to progress, it should take another three hours to conquer it!"
In reality, the battle over there was much more intense and much more devastating than theirs.
The casualties among the Interstellar Warriors were also higher.
Su Wan bit the tip of her tongue to keep herself more alert. Meanwhile, Qiao quickly completed a full examination of Su Wan.
He said, "Captain, your body is a bit weak due to the overuse of your superpower, and besides, you are about to give birth."
Sheng An said, "I will apply right now for Squad Nine to return to the main star!"
Qiao’s complexion turned ugly, "We probably won’t make it in time, and moreover, there will be a huge energy fluctuation when entering the protective layer, which is very detrimental to the captain’s health."
In the end, Su Wan made a direct decision, "Just give birth here."
"What?"
The other few people looked at Su Wan in surprise, because the only medical warrior they had here was Qiao, and he was male!
Qiao’s lips trembled, "Captain, I’m not very skilled at delivering babies..."
Su Wan said, "It’s fine, Xiao’an and I have both learned medical skills, and we know the basic principles. Besides, my body is in good condition, so you all don’t need to worry too much about me."
If the child is trapped in the body for too long, it might harm the child!
Sheng An understood Su Wan; if she had made the decision, then she surely had confidence in it!
She nodded her head and immediately pushed Qiao, who was still in a daze, "Hurry up and get ready!"
On this side, Su Wan gathered a bit of strength and said to Bai Qi, "Bai Qi, go back to the main control room and tell everyone to continue fighting, don’t mind me. Our mission is to block all these Insectoids outside, understand?"
Bai Qi, usually very reticent, had a hint of redness in his eyes now, "Captain, you absolutely must be okay!"
Su Wan smiled weakly, "Yeah, I will be fine. It’s just a small matter, giving birth to a child."
Bai Qi could no longer stay in the medical room, so he pushed the door open and left. Then, in the corridor, he saw Lin Yu coming in a hurried stride.
"I heard that Xiaowan fainted? How is she now?"
"She..."
Lin Yu, anxious, didn’t have the patience to keep listening to Bai Qi and stepped towards the inside but was grabbed by Bai Qi.
He looked at Bai Qi with confusion.
Bai Qi said, "The captain is... giving birth, and she instructed us to go to the control room and continue the fight!"
Lin Yu stood frozen in place, and after a few seconds, he nodded solemnly and then ran towards the main control room with Bai Qi.
In the main control room, Pandora saw the two of them enter briskly, and while manipulating the starship, she asked absent-mindedly, "How is the captain doing?"
Su Wan was the backbone of their Squad Nine, as nothing could go wrong with her, no matter what happened to anyone else!
Over there, Alex and Li Mu also looked over.
Bai Qi repeated what he had just said to Lin Yu to them.
The captain was giving birth to a baby, and then, she also told them that no matter what, they could not relax their vigilance in battle.
Just at that moment, another Insectoid starship attacked the area Squad Nine was tasked with defending.
Pandora immediately said, "Go! Let’s blast this Insectoid starship out of the sky as a gift for the captain’s new baby!"
Alex and the others said, "Okay!"
The captain was having a baby, and they couldn’t help with anything, but they had to follow the captain’s orders and beat the Insectoids thoroughly!
Actually, Su Wan was not having an easy time, but strangely, this wasn’t her first time giving birth, and this time it was a mermaid egg, with an even shorter gestation period. Besides, her body was in better condition than before, so it really shouldn’t be this painful?
Could it be because her superpower was drained?
Or, could it be because of Little Mushroom?
