For the next two days, Nina Jacobs didn’t leave the base.

And just as Daniel Hale had said, no one came to cause them trouble.

But more importantly, the base hospital had sent notice that they were ready to prepare for Vera Coleman’s surgery at any time.

This was Nina Jacobs’s first time at the base hospital.

The City D base hospital was located on the west side of the base, very close to the west exit.

The hospital was six stories high and covered a considerable area.

Since it was newly built, the hospital wasn’t crowded.

"Please rest assured. We will ensure Mrs. Coleman’s surgery goes smoothly."

In the consultation room, Vera Coleman looked in astonishment at the dozen or so doctors before her.

Apparently, this was the medical team the hospital had assembled just for her.

Originally, the hospital had also formed a healing team for her, consisting of ten Healers.

But Nina Jacobs only chose three of them.

She was worried that too many Healers might be counterproductive.

However, the remaining seven Healers would still be on standby at all times.

"Is... isn’t this a bit much?"

Vera Coleman whispered to her daughter beside her.

Among them, five were well-known obstetricians from the original City D.

There were also three experienced anesthesiologists.

"Not at all. We should just follow the hospital’s arrangements."

Nina Jacobs said comfortingly.

’In truth, she was very nervous herself.’

"Don’t be nervous. This isn’t a difficult surgery. The entire procedure will be kept under thirty minutes."

Juliana Sinclair had come as well. She smiled and reassured the two of them.

After all, it was the first surgery since the base hospital’s establishment. Not only did the base take it seriously, but the hospital did as well.

"So the surgery is set for tomorrow?"

Daniel Hale’s voice trembled slightly.

He hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

"Yes. The closer it gets to the due date, the more likely the mother is to go into labor.

Since we’ve already decided on surgery, we all agree there’s no need to wait for labor to start.

The babies are full-term and perfectly ready to be delivered via surgery."

Although he had already explained it multiple times, the head of obstetrics, Noel, patiently repeated it once more.

"Alright. Tomorrow it is."

Vera Coleman made the final decision right then and there.

That same day, Vera Coleman was admitted directly to the base hospital.

Myra Lawson had specially prepared a suite for her, and even had a postpartum confinement doctor and professional nannies ready.

Because she was having twins, two nannies were arranged.

To Nina Jacobs’s surprise, both nannies were very young; their information sheets listed their ages as 28.

"They both graduated from related fields and have over three years of experience as maternity nannies.

Leave it to them. You won’t have to worry about a thing."

Myra Lawson said.

"And Level 4 in combat, and a chef’s certificate?"

Nina Jacobs looked at the personal profile in her hand.

Although she knew the people Myra Lawson found were never ordinary, she couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

"After all, some missions require attention to security. These are just the basics."

After hearing Myra Lawson’s words, Nina Jacobs felt much more relieved.

Security was indeed one of her worries.

"Merrick Stone, Lucy Lynch, for the next few months, this is your only mission."

Myra Lawson introduced the two to the family.

Merrick Stone and Lucy Lynch were already on standby at the hospital. They had friendly smiles on their faces and seemed very approachable.

"Understood. You can leave it to us and rest assured."

Merrick Stone said.

"Of course we’re assured. We’ll be in your care then."

Vera Coleman was no longer worried at all.

After everyone had left, Nina Jacobs took out a few glass bottles.

Inside the glass bottles was a clear, transparent liquid.

"Mom, do you remember what I told you before?

After your surgery tomorrow, you have to remember to drink all of this."

Nina Jacobs poured the Healing Potion into Vera Coleman’s cup with a straw.

No food or water for 4-6 hours before the surgery, and no water for 2 hours after.

She would be there the entire time before and after the surgery the next day, but she was worried about prying eyes, so she had to explain it to Vera Coleman beforehand.

"What’s this?"

Vera Coleman looked curiously at the glass bottle in her hand.

After all, her daughter looked very serious about it.

"I told you before that even if I get hurt outside, I have a way to recover quickly. This potion is what I was talking about."

"This... I thought you were just saying that to comfort me."

Vera Coleman hadn’t expected such a potion to actually exist. A thought occurred to her, and she asked uneasily, "You haven’t told anyone else, have you?"

Seeing Nina Jacobs shake her head, she finally relaxed.

"Good. For now, besides me, no third person can know about this."

"I know."

Nina Jacobs was just worried that Vera Coleman might not want to drink anything at the time, so she was reminding her in advance.

On the day of the surgery, Daniel Hale stood outside the operating room, unwilling to sit down for a long time.

"Why aren’t they out yet?"

He paced back and forth, his face full of anxiety.

’Giving birth in the apocalypse... what if something goes wrong?’

Myra Lawson glanced at the time.

She originally had a mission today, but she had postponed it until the afternoon.

Ian Chandler had come too.

"Uncle Hale, don’t worry. The sterile room needs time to be prepped, too."

Ian Chandler said.

Nina Jacobs was also worried, but she had her Five Senses Enhancement active and knew what was happening inside.

Vera Coleman was currently the only expectant mother in the base hospital. Considering various factors, the hospital decided to use a sterile surgical procedure.

The operating room was a sterile room. All associated doctors and Healers had to be disinfected and wear sterile gowns.

This was to prevent any infection from unknown viruses.

"I know, I know. I just wonder if your mom is scared in there."

Daniel Hale pressed his ear against the wall, trying to hear what was going on inside.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t hear a thing.

Soon, Nina Jacobs heard a loud, clear cry.

It was followed by a second one.

"The light! It’s green!"

Leo Hale pointed at the indicator light above the operating room.

That must be the signal that the surgery was over.

Nina Jacobs stood up as well. She saw the operating room door open, and several doctors and anesthesiologists walked out one after another.

"The surgery was a success. The children are healthy.

The mother is still receiving treatment, so you might have to wait a little longer."

Noel said with a smile as he untied his sterile gown.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"New life means new hope.

It seems everything we’ve been working for was worth it."

In all these months, Myra Lawson had never been as happy and relaxed as she was today.

It wasn’t just because of Vera Coleman, but also because of the hope for humanity’s future.

Even after witnessing the end of countless lives, the birth of just two new lives was the greatest comfort to them.

"Of course it was worth it. There were only eight people on Noah’s Ark.

But our base has over 80,000."

Ian Chandler sat beside Myra Lawson, cheering her up.

Myra couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that. "Why are you bringing up Noah’s Ark?"

"Nina Jacobs said our base is just like Noah’s Ark."

Ian Chandler replied.

He had known since he was a child that his mother was different from others.

He used to think Myra Lawson was omnipotent.

But since the apocalypse began, the pressure she had been under was immense.

Myra Lawson hadn’t awakened a Superpower. Her physical constitution was weaker than a Superpower User’s, and white hairs were appearing more and more frequently.

These days, he tried his best to spend more time with her, wanting to share some of her burden.

"You’re right. We are the hope."

Myra Lawson said with a smile.

[Inside the room.]

Leo Hale leaned against the side of the crib, his eyes filled with disbelief. "They’re so small..."

’How can babies be this small?’

Wrapped in their swaddling clothes, the two tiny, red-skinned babies were sleeping peacefully.

Nina Jacobs also felt a sense of unreality.

’I have sisters now?’
