I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 188: Exchange
The entire Federation Central Building was plunged into chaos because of the sudden assassination of the leader.
In the high-level conference room, Zong Yan sat at the very center, directing everything.
After arranging all the aftermath plans, two core members, similar in age to Zong Yan, stepped out and whispered to each other with serious expressions.
"If Wei Shou hadn’t died inexplicably, would it have been the turn of a member nation’s Prime Minister to take charge?"
As the leader’s absolute confidant and a senior Commander, Wei Shou had managed Federation affairs comprehensively over the years, truly the leader’s right and left hand.
"Didn’t you hear? I just got the news a few days ago; they said Wei Shou was taken out by Zong Yan’s son."
"Ah? Really?"
"Otherwise, why would Zong Yan go out of his way to cover up and obstruct the trace of Wei Shou at the Southern Battlefield?"
The man suddenly realized and speculated, "No wonder the leader has had many complaints about Zong Yan lately. So, that means Zong Yan plotted to eliminate Wei Shou... Hss, then do you think... the leader could have been... by him..."
"Shush! We shouldn’t speak recklessly; we have no evidence," another cautioned, looking nervously around, "But I think it’s very likely. Think about it, why did the system control of the entire Federation Central Building fail at that time? The original glass was bulletproof, the leader’s office had multiple layers of protection, and the sniper’s position, I just went to see the trajectory of the bullet, it’s clear that the shooter’s position was also premeditated. Without a plausible external and internal collaboration, how could it be done?"
...
Zong Yan walked emotionlessly down the long corridor to the leader’s office. His subordinate, who was following him, glanced at the encrypted message on the Light Computer, then came up and whispered in his ear, "Prime Minister, that Scavenger says he wants to meet you."
Zong Yan looked at the bloodstains on the floor and the place where the leader had fallen, expressionless. No one could know what he was thinking. The office was silent for a moment before Zong Yan indifferently said, "Allowed."
The deputy nodded, and moments later, brought in a man dressed in the Federation Army uniform, with the brim of his hat pressed low, then quietly closed the door for Zong Yan and stood guard outside.
The man took off his military cap, revealing red hair. freewёbnoνel.com
Carl looked at Zong Yan with an unusually serious expression, "I did the job. What about your promise?"
Zong Yan, who had not given him even a glance from the start, gazed at the chair where the leader used to sit, slowly walked over, and sat down, grasping the arms of the chair as though holding a scepter, solemn and deliberate.
Carl frowned, "You asked me to snipe the leader and I did it. Tell me where Suisui is."
He didn’t know how Zong Yan’s people had found him. Initially, they tempted him with liberty from being a Scavenger, but Carl, concerned for Qiao Suisui’s safety, hesitated only for a moment before dismissing it. When they approached a second time, they knew the exact location of Suisui, but in exchange, he had to kill someone.
The crime of assassinating the leader was indelible, and Carl was well aware of it.
Being free from the Federation was indeed important to him, but all that seemed so trivial compared to Qiao Suisui. Thus, Carl, fully aware that he might be scapegoated in the future, still resolutely accepted Zong Yan’s condition.
"Are you one of her suitor mates?" Zong Yan, seated in the chair, sized up Carl, seeming to compare something.
By this point, Carl was very irritable; he had no interest in wasting time talking nonsense with some Prime Minister. Every minute he delayed was a minute Suisui was in more danger.
"Are you going to talk or not?"
Zong Yan looked at the time, estimating that Zong Fang should have arrived by now, he smiled faintly and said, "No rush, do you play chess?"
...
Qiao Suisui kept her breathing rhythmic, exerting herself vigorously, but because she had not consumed so much physical strength in a long time, she just felt very sleepy.
"Vital signs beginning to decline."
"Heart rate, 100."
"80."
"65."
"It’s dropping too fast."
"Push hard."
Her self-healing Talent stabilized her vital signs at critical levels, but by now she had completely run out of energy. Not to mention that she had eaten very little recently and her nutrition couldn’t keep up. Plus, she had just witnessed Anubis being oppressed, which drained much of her resolve. Additionally, throughout the childbirth process, the midwife only encouraged her to keep pushing without even giving her water to drink, and was rough in spreading her legs apart, leaving Qiao Suisui both physically and mentally exhausted and fed up.
However, the System’s announcements would still occur intermittently—
"Congratulations, host has given birth to the twenty-sixth offspring. Beast Form: King Cobra, gender: male, gene: superior, spiritual power: S-level, Talent: not yet obtained. Earned points: 100, an extra reward of 100 points for S-level spiritual power, item: Five Senses Amplification Potion."
"Congratulations, host has given birth to the twenty-seventh offspring. Beast Form: King Cobra, gender: female, gene: superior, spiritual power: SS-level, Talent: not yet obtained. Earned points: 100, an extra reward of 100 points for S-level spiritual power, item: Spiritual Power Ore*10."
As she lay on the birthing bed listening to the System’s broadcasts, suddenly, five or six military officers burst in from outside.
"Just got the news, the leader has been assassinated!"
"We’re surrounded outside, our forces are not enough to confront the enemy head-on, what do we do?"
"It’s the spouse of this Ancient Human, can we take her hostage to exchange for a chance of survival?"
Surrounded by a competitive environment at the Federation Base, the officers now, more than ever, schemed desperately to survive. One reacted fastest, and immediately after speaking, shot his own colleague, then ’bang, bang, bang’ shot all the midwives dead.
"Sorry, can’t escape with too many people." He reloaded his gun and walked over, but paused in shock upon seeing Qiao Suisui on the birthing bed, then licked his lips.
"I haven’t seen a female give birth before, not to say, these Ancient Humans are indeed different, quite thrilling to look at."
Qiao Suisui, seeing the man’s disgusting gaze, tried to get out of bed to escape, but she was utterly drained. The male officer scooped her up. Qiao Suisui slapped him across the face, but it was feeble and posed no threat.
"Get lost... don’t touch me..."
The male officer smirked, raised the gun to lift her skirt, and seeing her two pale, straight legs, felt heat surge through his body.
"Quite fierce, how about I help you give birth?"
Qiao Suisui pushed against him forcefully, but the male didn’t care; he leaned in to forcefully kiss her. Just as he was about to make contact—
’Swoosh—’
’Ding—’
A scalpel pierced the male’s eyeball, embedding halfway into the wall behind him, with the handle still vibrating from the force and hatred of the thrower.
The male officer covered his eye and screamed loudly, stumbling backward, wildly spraying bullets around with his gun.
Qiao Suisui was pushed violently; she had no strength left and closed her eyes, feeling weightless. Before hitting the ground, however, she fell into an embrace.
Zong Fang held her tightly, breathing heavily, his eyes filled with relief.
He suddenly raised his hand, and five scalpels emerged at his fingertips, flying simultaneously towards the male officer.
One scalpel severed his genitals, one blinded his other eye, one pierced his throat, and the other two cut off his hands.
