Chapter 544 The Children’s Request

Xu Linna smiled and said,

"Silly sister, with the gene technology level we had before, it would definitely be impossible!"

"But in the years you've been in amnesia, gene technology has undergone earth-shattering changes. Both the bio-humans we manufactured and infected beings like the Singers have made our technology increasingly mature."

"Actually, you've only broken free from the constraints of the infected in your spirit. However... your body still temperature, no pulse, and no physiological reactions indicate that your body is still under the virus's control."

"As long as you give me some time, I can definitely turn you back into a human. You have the right to possess everything other women have!"

As Xu Linna said the last sentence, her gaze inadvertently swept over Zhang Chen.

"Then... that's wonderful!"

Xu Ruina's eyes were filled with hope, and she then looked excitedly at Zhang Chen.

Seeing her so happy, Zhang Chen couldn't bring himself to dampen her spirits and could only force a few dry laughs.

Zhang Chen had originally wanted to ask Xu Linna about the lighthouse, the ring, and a whole host of other questions.

But now that Xu Linna and Xu Ruina had suddenly started discussing gene technology, Zhang Chen couldn't get a word in.

Moreover, what they were discussing was of vital importance to Xu Ruina. At this moment, Zhang Chen forcefully asking other questions was truly inappropriate.

As for asking Xu Ruina to help analyze whether Xu Linna was lying... that was even less likely.

Seeing Xu Ruina looking at Xu Linna with so much hope, and hearing her excitedly nodding frequently as Xu Linna explained the advancements in gene technology, Zhang Chen figured that trying to analyze the truthfulness of Xu Linna's words wouldn't be effective.

Zhang Chen wisely bid the two of them farewell.

As soon as he closed the door and turned around, he happened to see Katerina opening her door.

She was wearing a silk slip dress. If one looked closely, it seemed she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

The silk material clung to her, showcasing her perfect figure.

In the entire manor, only Zuo Nan lived in the room on the first floor. All other floors were occupied by cleaning staff and other girls.

Therefore, Katerina wearing this was not out of the ordinary.

However, it stunned Zhang Chen.

"Do you... want to come in for a bit? Son misses you too!"

Katerina also froze when she saw Zhang Chen, then said with her head down.

"Yes, okay!"

Zhang Chen nodded and followed Katerina into the room.

Son, Xiaobai, and Mo Ran were playing house.

Of course, Son was the one being dressed up, while Xiaobai and Mo Ran took on the roles of father and mother, playing with great joy.

In other words, they two were playing with Zhang Chen's son...

"Does... does he have a name yet?"

Zhang Chen asked Katerina, not wanting to disturb the three children.

"I haven't settled on a specific name yet. Usually, I just call him Son. If it comes to a name, I did give him one before, Peter, but it wasn't officially used..."

Katerina said somewhat nervously.

"Peter? Isn't the leader of your camp also named Peter?"

Zhang Chen asked with surprise.

"Actually, our names aren't as rich and varied as those in Dragon Country. Often, names are reused across generations..."

"Peter adopted me, and he treated me well. He was also a righteous person, so I named him that."

Katerina explained slowly.

"So Peter is your adoptive father. No wonder he has so many daughters. They must be his adopted daughters too!"

Zhang Chen finally understood with a sudden realization.

Otherwise, if a man had so many daughters, his wife must be incredibly formidable... it was unimaginable!

"I was worried you wouldn't accept him, especially since we... didn't spend much time together, and I also avoided you afterward..."

"But it's good now. He has a father, and it's best for his father to give him a name!"

Saying this, Katerina slowly raised her head, looking at Zhang Chen with expectation.

"This... let's call him Zhang Mo..."

Zhang Chen said after a brief pause.

"Zhang Mo?" Katerina whispered the name.

"Yes, he was born in the apocalypse, and soon, the apocalypse will also end!"

"Mo, signifies the end of the present, and at the same time, the beginning of a new future!"

Zhang Chen explained.

"A very meaningful name. From now on, he shall be called Zhang Mo!"

Katerina said with a smile, involuntarily leaning towards Zhang Chen.

But the moment their bodies touched, she flinched as if electrocuted and quickly retreated to her original position.

She then feigned an air of nonchalance.

Katerina was unsure how to face Zhang Chen now.

The incident back then had happened too suddenly, and she hadn't been prepared. As a result, she had spoken very decisively to Zhang Chen.

Now that she had Zhang Chen's son, their relationship should have progressed further.

However, every woman around Zhang Chen was more familiar with him than she was.

Therefore, for a moment, Katerina felt awkward and unsure of herself.

"Dad, I want to go to the amusement park!"

Zhang Mo, who was being dressed up by Xiaobai and Mo Ran, saw Zhang Chen and immediately opened his small hands and rushed towards him.

In the end, he landed in Katerina's arms and, blinking his eyes, quietly said to Zhang Chen.

"Good boy, we're not going to the amusement park. There are no amusement parks in the world anymore!"

Katerina quickly interjected, fearing Zhang Chen would feel awkward.

"But you said Dad is a great hero, and there's nothing he can't do!"

"So he can definitely take me to the amusement park, and I also want to eat ice cream. People in the past used to eat it, but I've never eaten ice cream before!"

Zhang Mo said petulantly in Katerina's arms.

"Stop messing around!"

Katerina said with a frown.

After all, this was the first formal meeting between father and son. Before this, they had only been in combat. To have the son make such a difficult request right at the start was going to put Zhang Chen in an awkward position!

"Dad, I want to go to the amusement park too, and I want to eat ice cream!"

Xiaobai said with blinking eyes from the side.

"What is an amusement park? It sounds like fun. I also want to go to the amusement park, and I want to eat ice cream!"

Mo Ran also chimed in from the side.

"Are they also your daughters?"

Katerina couldn't help but be surprised by the presence of so many daughters.

She had seen Xiaobai before, but they hadn't interacted much, so she didn't know she was Zhang Chen's daughter.

As for Mo Ran, Katerina had never seen her before.

"This matter... it's a long story. You can think of them as adopted daughters..."

Zhang Chen explained with some embarrassment.

"Oh..."

Katerina nodded ignorantly. Since Zhang Chen didn't want to elaborate, she wouldn't ask.

"Since you all want to go to the amusement park, I'll take you to the amusement park and we can eat ice cream then!"

Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Really? Dad is truly a great hero!"

"Great, long live Dad!"

"Slurp, we get to eat ice cream!"

The three children jumped up with joy.
