The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 981: Searching for John\'s New Mom

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

This seemingly ordinary poker card possessed an unstoppable momentum! It very easily injured the defending contestant!

Since someone from his side managed to strike down one of the opponents, Ougens was supposed to relax a little, but instead, his brow furrowed even more.

The young hippie, Thompson, was a card dealer in Las Vegas before he entered the nightmare realm. His innate ability was that card throwing skill he just displayed.

But the greater the power, the bigger the cost, so in every world, Thompson would at most use these "sharp cards" five times. They were his ultimate skill and literally his trump card. Based on how pale he looked at the moment, it was obvious that he did not have the energy to throw another card.

Since he had already used his ultimate move at this point, didn\'t that mean he had lost all confidence in his future undertakings in this world? He was taking the chance to reap as much benefit as possible from the current battle!

Ougens watched as the pale Thompson stood there grinning while checking his spoils after successfully killing the enemy. He felt that something was off, but for the life of him, he couldn\'t pinpoint what it was.

Suddenly, the powerful T-800 Terminator got up from its original position. It was only hit with an electromagnetic grenade, so there shouldn\'t be too much damage - maybe some interference in his internal program, but that\'s all.

But now the T-800\'s eyes suddenly exploded, and a bluish-white electrical current sprayed out of them, reaching a length of three to four meters. The joints all over its body started emitting sparks. Then, the mechanical parts that made up its body fell apart and crashed down into a heap of scrap iron, as if they had suddenly lost the force which held them together!

That wasn\'t all. The pile of scrap iron was still burning on the ground. A large amount of black smoke rose into the air and formed words. This method of transmitting information was really similar to the way the realm handed out the main mission when they first stepped foot in this world!

"O lost sheeps, I will guide you to the road of success…"

**********

At this time, Sheyan\'s group had arrived at the Elia Private Hospital.

They were not afraid of any ambushes. Besides, Professor Edwards didn\'t look that uptight.

Sheyan\'s actions from before had undeniably lifted the morale of the whole party.

The enemy had already laid down the chessboard in a way that would ensure their defeat, but his plan was still foiled by Sheyan, who had found a sliver of chance from examining the details. Sheyan had then expanded that sliver of chance into a legitimate path to success!

The main mission of Party Ace was still teetering precariously on the edge of failure with the male and female lead both dead. Even if they completed the mission, they would probably get the lowest evaluation, but for the members of Party Ace, the rewards were no longer important. All they hoped for was not to have their attributes deducted again.

By now, Sheyan had gained a better understanding of Sanzi\'s usefulness. His role as a summoner was only one aspect of it. After providing him with enough powerful equipments, in conjunction with Sanzi\'s own innate talent, he had completely broken the shackles of an ordinary summoner.

The way summoners usually operated was to tame and train creatures in safe places, then summon them to fight in dangerous places. Because once the summoner was interrupted during the summoning process, it was very troublesome.

But most of the time, Sanzi could recruit and control a creature immediately after they met. This undoubtedly made for very flexible tactics. Although offense was the main means to victory, other aspects could not be ignore too. For example, the lark that came to them to deliver news before, or the venomous spider that was used to threatened Professor Edwards, were both very useful.

Before stepping into Elia Private Hospital, Sanzi had even summoned a few rats to scout the place to prevent them from stepping into a trap. Instead of a summoner, he was more like a druid who had mastered the way of nature.

None of the other members had said anything when Sanzi joined the team, but it was inevitable that their impression of him was someone who got in through nepotism. But now, Sanzi had proven himself to be very useful in a utility role and could effectively make up for any shortcomings in the team with his summoned creatures. Therefore, although they had only spent a few hours together, even the most demanding person among them, Zi, had silently acknowledge Sanzi as a teammate.

They had drawn the equipments of the two opponents Zi had killed in the last fight, in addition to some achievement points. Neither of those two guys were anything special. They drew a dark blue equipment and a black equipment, both of which were not very useful to them. As a result, they were given to Sheyan to feed to the internal furnace in his \'Planetary-Grade High-Energy Mechanical Power Gloves\'.

The energy bar of the gloves had already fallen below the red warning level because Sheyan, or more precisely, the entire Party Ace, had no extra funds to recharge them. The two pieces of equipments came just in time to solve the problem. After the gloves were fed with the equipments, the energy bars of the gloves were finally increased to approximately 70%.

Each of them had also obtained the title of \'Machine Predator\'. The effect of the title was pretty weak, but it was very useful for title synthesisation.

(TL: \'Machine Predator\' was mentioned way back in chapter 8)

***********

Elia Private Hospital appeared to have a good working relationship with Professor Edwards. The people here seemed very familiar with him. Sheyan stood at the side in a white coat, silently overseeing the series of procedures without anyone questioning his presence.

Professor Edwards had lost count of the number of times he had retrieved an egg from a woman\'s body. It was even easier to do so from a woman\'s corpse, since he didn\'t need to apply anesthetics or consider the feeling of the patient. It saved a lot of time.

He removed the egg in a practiced manner and soaked it in a top-grade nutritional liquid, before inspecting it under a microscope. After a while, he smiled.

"It\'s a very healthy fertilised egg. It seems that the death of the mother has not had any effect on it yet."

Sheyan also checked the microscope. He knew that the sperm was the smallest cell in the human body and a man could excrete hundreds of millions of sperms at a time, while the ovum was the largest cell in the human body and there would normally be only one of it at a time. Therefore, a fertilised egg was easily visible with a low power microscope.

"What\'s next?" asked Sheyan.

Professor Edwards hesitated for a moment before he answered, "Normally, we\'ll monitor the fertilised egg and inject some nutrients to make it grow stronger, then give it one to three weeks to develop. Finally, we will implant the embryo in a healthy woman\'s uterus."

Sheyan said flatly, "We don\'t have that much time. Don\'t worry, I have full confidence in the embryo\'s strength and luck. But before that, I\'d like to witness an embryo transfer operation. I heard that the operation is very simple and is only as difficult as a circumcision operation?"

"Well, yes, in theory, if we do all the necessary preparation beforehand."

"Good. Then please arrange it. I\'d like to take a look at the next embryo transfer operation. You mentioned before that more than a dozen patients come here every day for check-up and operations?"

***********

Sheyan naturally wouldn\'t leave everything to a storyline character. That would be a very dangerous move.

He did not forget the fact that a large number of Terminators and contestants, armed to the teeth, were extremely interested in terminating the fertilised egg.

Which was why an hour later, he got himself a bottle, a syringe, an injection gun, and a book.

The bottle is filled with the latest nutritional liquid, which could provide enough nutrients to the embryo soaked inside it to ensure that the embryo obtained the necessary nutrients as it would in the fallopian tube. This bottle of nutritional liquid could ensure that the fertilised egg grew healthily within seven days.

The syringe could suck 1000cc of the nutritional liquid and the embryo inside it without harming the embryo. It could then be fitted onto the injection gun.

The length of the needle on the injection gun had undergone precise measurement. It could easily penetrate the skin, abdominal muscles, and outer wall of the uterus, so that the tip of the needle be placed just inside the uterus. With a pull of the trigger, the liquid and embryo in the syringe would be transfered into the uterus without spilling a drop.

The book was titled "All About IVF".

Having done all this, Professor Edwards discovered that those mysterious and vicious people did not break their promise. He not only got his diamonds, but had also survived.

But six hours after Sheyan and his group left, another person found Professor Edwards. Despite the professor\'s cooperative attitude, he was nevertheless killed.

That\'s because the person who interrogated Professor Edwards would rather that what the professor had said was a lie. He understood that if Professor Edwards had not lied, it would be very difficult to stop Sheyan now, unless…unless they could kill every woman of childbearing age in Los Angeles!

Currently, John was still a fertilised egg, while both the male and female lead of the Terminator movie were dead, so Skynet\'s dispatch of Terminators had been halted.

Sheyan was now sitting in a McDonald\'s, eating hamburgers and drinking Coke with all the Party Ace members while carrying a thick briefcase.
