153: Chapter 153 I couldn't resist grabbing a handful
Lv5, Low-Plane Ark.
Cross-world navigation.
This meant they could now travel to other worlds.
In the living room, everyone was buzzing with excitement.
“A new room! Bedroom No. 005!”
Han Yurou jumped up in excitement.
“I want to see! I want to see!”
“A Baby Nursery!”
Xu Xue's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Lin Wanwan's hand.
“Sister Wanwan, there are cribs!”
Lin Wanwan also excitedly stroked her belly, her eyes slightly moist.
“Baby, you have your own room now...”
Li Ying looked at the System announcement with a smile on her lips.
She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the completely transformed interior of the RV.
She turned to look at Qin Lin with an inquisitive gaze.
“Does this mean we can go to other worlds?”
Qin Lin nodded.
“Possibly, but not just yet. We need to adapt to the new functions first; take it slow.”
Su Yuran walked over and took his arm.
“No matter which world we go to, we’re following you.”
Qin Lin looked at her, his heart feeling warm.
“Mhm.”
Su Yuling stood to the side watching this scene, her heart filled with both envy and anticipation.
She had also felt the improvement in her Physique just now.
Her body felt lighter, her breathing smoother, and even her skin had become more lustrous.
It felt as if her entire being had been washed clean once over.
Was this the effect of the RV's upgrade?
It was truly miraculous.
She looked at Qin Lin, something new appearing in her eyes.
It was a yearning for the future, and also a... deeper affection for this man.
Li Ying noticed her gaze and smiled without saying anything.
But she noted everything in her heart.
“Alright.”
Su Yuran clapped her hands, putting on the air of Mistress No. 001.
“Everyone, go tour the new RV! Check out the new rooms and facilities, get familiar with them.”
“Okay!”
Han Yurou was the first to respond, pulling Su Yuling along as she ran.
The two girls laughed as they rushed toward the bedroom area, their footsteps echoing in the hallway.
The others also stood up one after another to explore the new areas.
Qin Lin and Su Yuran walked at the back.
“This upgrade added so much more than the last one.”
“Cross-world navigation... is that for real?”
Qin Lin nodded.
“If the System has this function, there must be a reason for it.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, walking side by side toward the new areas.
In the Family Activity Room, Han Yurou and Su Yuling had already taken over the entertainment System.
“Wow! We can watch the latest movies!”
Han Yurou excitedly flipped through the menu.
“And games! So many games!”
“This one, this one!”
Su Yuling pointed at a dancing game.
“Let's play this!”
The two girls immediately dove in, jumping and dancing along with the rhythm on the screen.
Li Ying walked in, leaned against the doorframe watching for a while, and shook her head with a smile.
It’s so good to be young.
She turned and walked toward the second-floor Observation Deck.
Pushing open the glass door, a gust of cool air brushed against her face.
The Observation Deck was about twenty square meters, surrounded by a transparent energy shield that provided a clear view of the outside world.
The transparency of the shield could be adjusted; it could be set to a frosted mode when privacy was desired.
Right now, it was a scorching 45°C outside, but the Observation Deck remained at a comfortable 25°C.
Li Ying walked to the edge, looking at the distorted air and parched earth outside.
“What are you thinking about?”
Qin Lin's voice came from behind her.
Li Ying turned back and saw him standing at the doorway.
“I was thinking... can this world really undergo Recovery?”
Qin Lin walked to her side, also looking outside.
“I don't know. Maybe it can, maybe it can't.”
Li Ying looked at him and suddenly laughed.
“Brother Qin Lin, you know, sometimes you’re mature in a way that doesn't seem like a twenty-year-old.”
“Is that so?”
“Mhm. But you also have moments where you act like a twenty-year-old, like...”
She leaned close to his ear and lowered her voice.
“Like at night.”
Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
“Sister, are you flirting with me?”
“That's right,” Li Ying admitted frankly.
“What, I can't?”
Qin Lin looked at her.
Under the sunlight, her skin was so fair it was almost translucent, and her silk nightgown outlined her perfect curves.
A thirty-year-old woman possessed both the delicacy of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman.
He couldn't resist reaching out and grabbing a handful of her.
“You can, but it's daytime right now.”
Li Ying laughed, a very pleasant laugh.
“Then I'll come back some night.”
She turned and walked away in her high heels, leaving Qin Lin with a swaying silhouette.
Qin Lin shook his head and continued to look out the window.
This woman, really...
In the Baby Nursery, Lin Wanwan and Xu Xue were staring blankly at the four cribs.
“So small...” Xu Xue said softly.
“Cribs are supposed to be small,” Lin Wanwan laughed. “When the baby is born, they'll sleep here.”
Xu Xue touched her own belly and then looked at the cribs.
“Sister Wanwan, do you think... we can be good mothers?”
Lin Wanwan looked at her and reached out to put an arm around her shoulder.
“We can. We have the RV, the System, Qin Lin, and everyone else. The children will grow up safely.”
Xu Xue nodded and leaned on her shoulder.
The two pregnant women snuggled together in the nursery, imagining scenes of the future.
In the Medical Room, Han Qing was inspecting the new equipment.
The Advanced Medical Pod was far more complex than she had imagined.
An Automatic Diagnosis System, Surgical Assistance Robots, Rehabilitation Therapy Pods...
These pieces of equipment might not even have been seen in top-tier hospitals before the apocalypse.
She familiarized herself with them one by one, her heart filled with both amazement and a bit of loss.
Amazement because the equipment was so advanced.
Loss because... her role was becoming smaller and smaller.
“Mom!”
Han Yurou's voice came from outside.
Han Qing turned back and saw her daughter run in, her face flushed with excitement.
“Mom! Did you see that swimming pool on the second floor? It's open-air! We can go swimming!”
Han Qing smiled. “I saw it.”
“Let's go swimming another day!”
Han Yurou pulled her hand.
“Just the two of us!”
Han Qing looked at her, her heart softening.
“Okay.”
Han Yurou jumped up happily, then remembered something.
“Oh right, Mom, where is Brother Qin Lin?”
Han Qing pointed outside. “He should be on the Observation Deck.”
Han Yurou nodded and ran out.
Han Qing looked at her daughter's back and sighed.
This child had been getting closer and closer to Qin Lin lately.
She couldn't quite describe how she felt about it.
She shook her head and continued checking the equipment.
She wouldn't think about it.
At least not for now.
On the Observation Deck, when Han Yurou found Qin Lin, he was leaning against the railing, lost in thought.
“Brother Qin Lin!”
Qin Lin turned back and saw Han Yurou running over with a smile on her face.
“What's wrong?”
