I Don’t Want To Be Reborn

Chapter 97: birth rate

The destruction of the Tongmu team has caused a lot of influence in the base. After all, there are only a few wood-type abilities who can ripen fruits and vegetables, and the lack of any one will have a certain impact on the base's material supply.

Fortunately, the usual "service scope" of the leader of the Tongmu team does not include ordinary people in the base, so now the ones who are more affected are the ability users who lack a way to improve their diet, not those who are already struggling on the line of food and clothing. Ordinary people can be regarded as a fortunate in misfortune.

But for the base, the death of the Tongmu team not only represented a lack of a source of materials, but also brought the conflict between the power users and ordinary people in the base to the surface in an extremely cruel way.

Even Shen Qing and the others realized a long time ago that with the passage of time, the power level of the superpowers will continue to improve, and the continuous expansion of the gap in combat effectiveness and productivity between them and ordinary people will lead to their social status becoming more and more disparate, Many measures have also been taken to address this issue.

For example, in the base, it is strictly forbidden for people with supernatural powers to use supernatural powers to harm others, whether people with supernatural powers or ordinary people are equal before the law, and the establishment of jobs that ordinary people can also hold to ensure that they have the ability to support themselves...

But even though they have done so much, there are still power users who are oppressing ordinary people in places where they are not seen in private. Like Tongmu Squad, relying on their own abilities, there are definitely not a few ability users who do not regard ordinary people as human beings, and there are many ability users who have not done so absolutely, but they also have contempt for ordinary people in their hearts. .

In this regard, they see it in their eyes, worry in their hearts, but don't know what to do.

After Ye Xuan discovered this, he spent a long time recalling the events of his previous life, and finally found a possible breakthrough.

During a meal with the Shen family, Ye Xuan pretended to be unintentional and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen a newborn child in the base for a long time. Ordinary people who are not in good health are afraid of not being able to support their children and don't want to have children. Raising a child is not difficult, and no one wants a child?"

Shen Ping glanced at him and asked coldly, "Why, do you want a child?"

"You can't talk nonsense!" Ye Xuan was taken aback by him and waved his hands again and again: "I was sorting out the supplies that were stored in the space two days ago, and suddenly I discovered that I had collected a batch of baby equipment before. When I put it in the space, I didn’t see the opportunity to sell it, so I suddenly remembered this matter.”

Shen Mingyue said incredulously, "Brother Ye Xuan, there are still baby things in your space?"

"Yeah, when I was collecting supplies, I felt that I had a lot of space. I didn't have to carefully calculate where to put things, so I took everything, thinking that maybe when the social order stabilized a little, these things I took at random would be I was able to resell it at a high price, and now it seems that I chose the wrong product."

"Brother Ye Xuan, have you been thinking about reselling supplies in the future?"

"After all, at that time, my ability level was not high, and I didn't know how to use the wood-type ability. I thought my ability was very useless. In order to be able to better support my family in the future, I had to think more."

Shen Ping glanced at him again, thinking to himself: I haven't seen you since I met you, but I have seen supplies and crystal cores!

However, after looking at his niece who was moved, and his nephew whose eyes were much softer, though not obvious, he pouted, but he still didn't say anything about breaking the stage.

Ruan Congshan, who was sitting quietly listening to a few juniors chatting, suddenly said, "Speaking of this, I haven't heard of a child being born in a long time."

Shen Minglang said: "The birth rate of newborns at the base in the past two years is indeed not high, but adults can't even feed themselves, so how can they have children and raise children? Besides, in the current environment, let alone the newly born children. , that is, many adults can't stand it, how can they support it?"

The old man Shen interjected: "It was not difficult for us at that time. Who do you see having fewer children? Difficulties are difficult, and no matter how difficult it is, there should be no shortage of inheritance. This is something engraved in the bones of so many people. Give up when the situation is not good?"

Shen Qing looked at his younger brother who didn't want to fall in love in his thirties, his eldest son and eldest daughter who had already passed the age of puppy love, and the younger son who had not yet reached the age of love. The nephew, who can't get married and have children like ordinary people, suddenly feels that it is not appropriate to talk about marriage and childbirth in his own home...

At the same time, Ye Xuan also thought that with the staffing of the Shen family, even if the end of the world did not come, no one would think about why there was no newborn baby in a few years. Seeing that the topic was about to go to Yi Kusitian, he quickly reminded: "I just suddenly thought, maybe it's not that they don't want children, but that they can't have children?"

Shen Minghui snorted and said suddenly: "Is it like in some immortal novels, the higher the cultivation base, the longer the life of the immortal cultivator, the more difficult it will be to keep children?"

"Who knows?" Shen Ping leaned on the sofa and said casually: "No one has figured out the difference between the body of a supernatural person and an ordinary person, maybe it's...cough, it's a little different. the same?"

The old man Shen gave him a sideways glance, and after successfully glaring back at his nonsense, he said to Shen Minglang: "Minglang, you go to the research institute tomorrow and ask them if they have any research on the birth rate in the past few years. Remember, focus on comparing the data between power users and ordinary people to see if there is any difference."

Although he thinks that the birth of a person with supernatural powers sounds a bit ridiculous, but for some reason, Old Master Shen has a very strong intuition, and feels that this matter is probably true.

He took a look and stopped talking about this issue. Instead, he started talking to his granddaughter about Ye Xuan, who was about his space material reserves. He lowered his eyes and pressed down the guesses in his heart.

Half a month later, the research institute of the Northwest Base released a new data - since the end of the last two years, 87% of the newborns in the base were born from the union of two ordinary people, 11%. It is born from the combination of supernatural beings and ordinary people, and only a very small 2% is conceived by the combination of two supernatural beings.

The announcement of this data has aroused a lot of attention in the base.

You must know that two years after the end of the world, due to the fact that the mortality rate of ordinary people is much higher than that of people with abilities, and because of the awakening of abilities by some ordinary people, the proportion of people with abilities in the total population has increased from the first percent It has risen to about 7%, and combined with unofficial data, it shows that the proportion of people with supernatural powers who choose to leave children after pregnancy is higher than that of ordinary people. Even if there is no reliable evidence to explain the reason, but people with supernatural powers choose to keep children. It is already obvious that it is more difficult than ordinary people to conceive offspring.

It has to be said that nature is fair in a sense.

The power user gained powerful power and gained more chances to survive, but also lost something inadvertently. Although it is not 100% impossible to have descendants, in the current situation, it is indeed much more difficult for them to have bloodline inheritance than ordinary people.

If human beings want to pass it on from generation to generation, so as not to disappear in this world one day because they cannot have descendants, these ordinary people who are despised by superpowers and who seem to have no use other than dragging down human beings, It is a very important part.

After that, even if you don't want to make "reproduction tools" a label for ordinary people, the base still deliberately promotes it when ordinary people can't survive and are regarded as waste by people with abilities and even by some people within themselves. This news is exaggerated, and the importance of ordinary people in the inheritance of human beings is exaggerated.

After the official guidance of the base, it was instilled in the base that "both superhumans and ordinary people are an extremely important part of human society, and human beings cannot continue to survive without anyone", the position of ordinary people in the base finally With some upside.

As for whether there will be a person with supernatural powers who will have bad thoughts after this and forcibly control ordinary people to give birth to them, this is another matter. After all, before this news was made public, wasn't there a scum like the Tongmu team who forcibly bullied ordinary people by relying on their own abilities?

And complete equality can only wait for the social situation to be further stabilized, the influence of individual fighting ability on social status has weakened, and all walks of life have developed again.

However, for Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze, two people who never thought of having children in their entire lives, nor did they usually bully ordinary people, the biggest impact of this incident is not the change in the status of ordinary people or the change in the mentality of superhumans. It was the Shen family's further acceptance of their relationship as a couple.

When he first arrived at the base, Ye Xuan realized that the Shen family was not particularly optimistic and supportive of the two of them, but rather left it alone and let time deal with this seemingly out of the ordinary. Feelings.

Knowing that it is not in a hurry to let them accept that their children are gay, Ye Xuan did not deal with this matter first. The two of them lived their own lives. After a long time, whether it is true or false, it is long-term. Love is still impulsive and will have a result sooner or later.

After more than a year of getting along, they seem to realize that they and Ling Jiaze are here for real and want to go on for a long time. I thought very clearly about the issue. It was completely determined that after the two of them lived a lifetime, their attitudes had loosened up a bit.

As soon as it came out that it was difficult for power users to have children, it was like the last straw that overwhelmed their last objection. What they worried about at first was that when the child was old, there was no one to take care of him. Nowhere for the old? But now it seems that even if he is with a girl, his nephew is unlikely to have children in his life, so why force him to separate from Ye Xuan so that he can't get what he loves?

This account, they will still count.
