Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Because the dormitory was too crowded, after they sat for a while, Tao Zheng took the initiative to invite the two to walk in the corridor together.

The air quality outside is terrible these days, and it's no different in the dorms and hallways.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu stood up, and the four of them walked outside together.

Zhou Shuwan and Zhang Jia fell behind.

During this meeting, Zhou Shuwan always felt that Zhang Jia's complexion was not as good as a few years ago, but he also felt that it was normal. After the apocalypse, resources were extremely scarce, the climate was very extreme, and everyone was suffering.

After getting up and coming out, Zhou Shuwan and Zhang Jia took a few steps and found that the other party's pace slowed down.

Looking back, Zhang Jia was half-covering her stomach, her brows furrowed, and she seemed to be in some pain. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Jia Jia, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Jia smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's an old problem."

She whispered something in Zhou Shuwan's ear.

It turned out that she was having her period.

She whispered again, "My periods have been very unstable in the past few years. Sometimes they come, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they don't come for months, and sometimes they last a month. But there's no doctor to see, and no medicine to take. A Zheng even replaced some brown sugar for me before, and I felt better after eating it. But it's not completely healed."

So she gradually got used to it.

Not only him, this is also a big challenge that all women in the end times have to face.

During those special days, women should not touch cold water, but should keep warm and take rest.

But there are no such conditions after the end of the world.

During the eternal night, the temperature is extremely low, but women still need to fish and wash clothes in sub-zero water.

There wasn't enough fuel for heating and boiling water.

As friends in two lives, Zhou Shuwan knew her very well.

When she spoke, she kept looking out the window in the corridor, not at herself, as if she didn't dare to look at herself.

She intuitively felt that the other party was hiding something from her.

However, the corridor was also full of people, and it was extremely crowded.

Zhou Shuwan didn't ask directly. After they walked forward for a while, they finally arrived at the stairwell.

No one lives here for the convenience of going up and down the stairs.

Zhou Shuwan then asked her what was going on.

Under her direct gaze, Zhang Jia had no choice but to sigh softly: "Okay, I'm afraid of you."

"Actually..." There was a hint of bitterness in her tone: "I had an unexpected pregnancy two years ago."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Shuwan was shocked.

Zhang Jia didn't give her time to respond and continued, "But the conditions were terrible back then. The weather was freezing, and there wasn't much to eat. Our only food was fish from the sea. We struggled to even get enough to eat every day, and our baby left us when he was five months old..."

Tao Zheng and Qi Mingyu in front must have heard the conversation here. Tao Zheng stopped talking and stood there without moving.

Qi Mingyu didn't know what to say.

"Maybe I didn't take good care of myself during the postpartum period. My health has not been very good since then." Zhang Jia exhaled slowly and smiled at Zhou Shuwan.

Zhou Shuwan finally understood why Zhang Jia looked so much older after only a few years of separation.

It turns out she had such a painful experience!

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ordinary comfort is too pale and powerless in the face of the pain the other person has once felt.

She opened her mouth, her expression full of shock and heartache.

Zhang Jia seemed to have let it go, and seeing her embarrassment, he smiled at Zhou Shuwan and said, "It's okay, Wanwan."

She looked out at the turbulent sea through the stairwell, and whispered as if lost in memories: "At the beginning, I was in so much pain that I wanted to die with my baby several times. But A Zheng stayed with me and took care of me. He was even more sad and blamed himself than I was, thinking that it was because he didn't take good care of me that we lost our baby. Later, with his comfort, I slowly walked out of the shadow..."

Zhou Shuwan held her hand tightly.

Zhang Jia's eyes became moist again.

In fact, she and Tao Zheng had never thought about having children, so after they got married, Tao Zheng specifically consulted Qi Mingyu about this issue.

However, their supplies were not as abundant as those stored by the Zhou family, and they lost most of them when they fled, so that thing was gone.

But after the end of the world, people's desires are more intense than before the end of the world.

Men and women mostly live together, so they have a strong demand in that area.

They need to vent in this way to forget the pain they are suffering.

People then resorted to the contraceptive methods that their ancestors had used.

Use fish maw instead.

But the fish maw is not as good as the one made before the apocalypse, and there are always unexpected problems.

After the apocalypse, many children were actually born accidentally.

It is of course good to be safe and sound, but the child mortality rate is very high in the last days.

Tao Zheng was still the leader of an army of two thousand men, and as his wife, Zhang Jia couldn't keep the baby in her belly.

Tao Zheng turned around and held Zhang Jia's shoulders.

His expression was very gentle, with a sense of self-blame and pity.

Zhang Jia wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head at him: "I'm fine. Don't worry."

Then she turned and looked at Zhou Shuwan.

Zhou Shuwan had already figured out how to help the other party.

She spoke directly, "Jia Jia, you didn't have the conditions before, so you kept putting it off. But the most taboo for women with these problems is to delay treatment. The longer you delay, the worse the condition will be. Let's go to a quiet place and I'll take your pulse first."

She wanted to see how the other person was doing first.

Qi Mingyu also said: "Besides, there is a medical team and an operating room on the mothership now, so you have the conditions for treatment and maintenance."

"That's right!" Zhou Shuwan said, not stingy. "We later stockpiled some supplies, and there are also medicines on the mothership. If we really need them, we can work together to find a way to get them. We must take this opportunity to let Jiajia recover."

Zhang Jia and Tao Zheng looked at each other, and Tao Zheng nodded immediately: "Okay, then I'll trouble my sister-in-law to help us take a look first."

Zhou Shuwan placed his fingertips on Zhang Jia's wrist. The pulse under his fingertips was as thin as a thread, intermittent, and slightly cool to the touch.

She frowned slightly, her fingertips gently moving around, then withdrew her hand after a moment, her voice a little serious: "Your physical condition is due to the severe loss of your miscarriage two years ago."

Zhang Jia lowered his eyes, his fingertips unconsciously clenching the corner of his clothes.

Zhou Shuwan continued, "After a miscarriage, one should rest in bed and recuperate to nourish the Qi and blood. But look at this pulse—both Qi and blood are deficient, and the stagnation has not dissipated, which has also weakened the spleen and stomach."

She paused, looking at Zhang Jia's pale face, and added, "I guess in the past two years, you've always felt cold hands and feet, had severe abdominal pain during menstruation, and your blood flow has been fluctuating. Usually, when you're a little tired, you feel dizzy, anxious, and weak, right?"
