Chapter 237: An Encounter — A Violator Appears
The group stared at the newborn child, exchanging uncertain glances.
“What should we do now?” Nan Sheng was drenched in sweat, looking as though she had just been pulled from the water. She had exerted herself the most during the delivery, because after the birth, the pregnant woman had shown signs of severe hemorrhaging. Nan Sheng had struggled with all her strength to suppress it using her healing ability.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The newborn baby was carefully cradled in Xie Linjia’s arms.
“This child’s birth is really rather mysterious,” Bao Song muttered while gazing outside.
Su Ning also found it unbelievable. Ever since this child was born, the rain that had poured nonstop for over a week had suddenly ceased altogether.
“It seems we can only take in the child and her mother for now.”
Huang Zhenggang’s voice broke the silence. As the team leader, he naturally spoke first.
Of course, even if he disagreed, the women in the group would never allow him to refuse.
Kind-hearted and optimistic Lin Lele, doctor Nan Sheng, and Xie Linjia—who held the baby with a loving expression—would never stand by and ignore them.
Meanwhile, Su Ning gently teased the newborn with her finger. Perhaps because the baby had only just entered the world, after crying for a while, it soon fell asleep.
She also agreed with Huang Zhenggang’s decision.
In truth, although Huang Zhenggang was still nominally the team leader, most people were already more inclined to follow Su Ning’s judgment.
Strength was absolute truth.
However, although Su Ning sensed this shift in atmosphere, she never pointed it out. She was powerful, but far inferior to Huang Zhenggang when it came to management, and Huang Zhenggang himself was perfectly willing to let things develop this way.
Huang Zhenggang continued:
“There are plenty of rooms here. It’s more than enough for the mother and child to stay.”
Su Ning also noticed that the pregnant woman wasn’t a player.
When Li Yun woke up, she instinctively touched her stomach, only to realize it had flattened. There was still some pain in her lower body.
Only then did she realize that not only had she been saved, she had also given birth here.
“My baby!”
Panic flashed across her face.
At that moment, Xie Linjia walked over carrying a baby wrapped in a soft cotton blanket.
“Don’t worry. Your child is right here.”
Su Ning and Lin Lele also entered the room.
Gao Peng and the others had been sent away by Nan Sheng to handle other matters. This wasn’t somewhere they were allowed to enter.
Li Yun took her baby into her arms, tears immediately streaming down her face.
“Thank you all so much. If it weren’t for you, neither my child nor I would have survived.”
Only now did Su Ning carefully observe Li Yun.
Even though Xie Linjia and Nan Sheng had cleaned her up somewhat, she had been dragged from the floodwaters and had just gone through childbirth. Her body was soaked in sweat, and her hair clung together in tangled strands.
Yet despite her miserable appearance, Li Yun’s beauty remained undiminished. If anything, it made her seem even more pitiful and delicate.
She was undeniably a gentle beauty.
Especially when she cried, her tearful appearance evoked overwhelming sympathy.
Seeing her crying, Xie Linjia quickly comforted her.
“You just gave birth, so it’s best not to cry too much. It’s not good for either you or the baby.”
Li Yun wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes and looked down at her child.
This was the only proof of love between her and her husband.
The moment she thought of him, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Although Lin Lele hated seeing a beautiful woman cry, she still couldn’t help asking what had happened.
After over a week of nonstop rain, the floods had already become catastrophic.
When Li Yun heard Lin Lele’s question, hatred flashed through her eyes.
“My name is Li Yun…”
She slowly began recounting everything that had happened to her.
Soon, Su Ning and the others learned of Li Yun’s experiences.
After the apocalypse began, Li Yun and her in-laws never entered a shelter.
This was because her father-in-law had a very special profession, and their basement was practically impregnable—spacious, secure, and comfortable.
On top of that, both her husband and sister-in-law were players who regularly brought back supplies from survival instances.
As a result, their family had lived a relatively peaceful life.
Unexpectedly, this flood disaster arrived with overwhelming force.
Their basement could withstand extreme cold and heat, but not flooding.
Thus, the family decided to head toward a safe shelter to escape the floodwaters.
However, along the way, they were pursued by a group of vicious people. Her husband died protecting her and the rest of the family.
What happened afterward became even more unbelievable.
Her sister-in-law had also been injured and fallen unconscious during the attack. Yet after waking up, her personality completely changed, becoming viciously hostile toward Li Yun.
Since Li Yun was pregnant, she didn’t dare say much.
But she never imagined that midway through their journey, torrential rain would begin pouring down, causing devastating floods.
They had no choice but to travel slowly toward the Fifth Shelter by boat.
What Li Yun couldn’t understand was why her sister-in-law had become so cruel.
She had actually pushed her off the boat.
Even worse, her parents-in-law showed no reaction whatsoever.
Li Yun guessed that they had believed her sister-in-law’s claims—that she and the child in her womb were responsible for their son’s death.
Her parents-in-law had always been superstitious about luck and fate, and they trusted her sister-in-law’s words completely.
Even when they knew she was trying to kill Li Yun, they never stopped her.
Li Yun simply couldn’t comprehend it.
She had always treated her sister-in-law like her own younger sister. Why would she suddenly try to murder her?
After hearing Li Yun’s story, Lin Lele looked deeply sympathetic.
Meanwhile, Xie Linjia empathized completely. The only difference was that she had been betrayed by her husband, while Li Yun had been betrayed by her sister-in-law and in-laws.
“How could they do such a thing? Even abandoning the baby?”
But Su Ning noticed something strange.
For example, Li Yun mentioned that after the sister-in-law woke up from her injuries, her personality changed drastically.
It sounded suspiciously similar to the setup of certain novels—transmigration, reincarnation, and the like.
However, the sister-in-law was a player, and as for reincarnation-type abilities, Su Ning had only ever seen such a talent once before: Zheng Yaxian’s Rebirth talent, which was unique.
So Li Yun’s sister-in-law definitely wasn’t a reincarnator.
Just as Su Ning was thinking this over—
A familiar voice suddenly rang beside her ear.
[Ding! A violator has appeared in World 123. Administrator, please eliminate the violator and prevent them from damaging this world!]
The sudden system notification stunned Su Ning.
But she immediately realized this mechanical voice was completely different from the system announcements inside survival instances.
This voice belonged to the mysterious existence she had encountered after obtaining the Administrator K authority.
At that moment, a certain mechanical green rabbit was feeling extremely irritated.
Not only did it have to complete its master’s tasks, it now also had to serve as Su Ning’s personal communication system.
Su Ning left the room and immediately entered her personal space.
“What’s going on?” she asked.
The mechanical green rabbit replied awkwardly:
“Uh… a violator has appeared. It’s time for you to act.”
Su Ning: ?
“Who’s the violator? Do I absolutely have to deal with them?”
The green rabbit nodded.
“You must eliminate them. Otherwise, your world will face massive problems. The Supreme God is currently asleep, and many gods are fighting over the Supreme God’s authority. At times like this, the system becomes especially vulnerable to loopholes being exploited. That’s why so many violators have appeared.”
