The Ultimate Evolution-Chapter 979: The Kidnapping

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

"Hey, realm, I'm applying for electromagnetic shielding as a lieutenant colonel to prevent other contestants from using native technology to get my information," said Sheyan loudly.

Sheyan had already suffered from something similar in the Jurassic Park world, where his every action was monitored via a satellite. Therefore, he was familiar with the procedure of requesting for electromagnetic shielding. Furthermore, he was now a lieutenant colonel, so the process had become even more convenient. After paying three achievement points, everyone in Sheyan's party was shielded.

The shield was naturally limited in some ways. First of all, the shield was only effective against contestants of lower ranks. Secondly, if other contestants made their own satellite and launch it into space, Sheyan's jamming shield would be invalid against it because the shield was only effective for native technology.

Zi also became more cautious. After the satellite monitoring threat was resolved, she pulled out her silver crescent dagger. Threads that looked like the tentacles of a jellyfish extended out from the tip of the dagger. They wiggled around, carefully searching for anything suspicious.

Zi was being over cautious, as she knew of some black magic that could monitor other's actions through a crystal ball. As it turned out, Zi's wariness was not unfounded. After a brief search, she shook her head and shouted, "There's nothing."

Sheyan immediately felt that something was wrong, and as soon as Zi finished her sentence, she pierced her slim fingers at a seemingly empty space at the side. The place sparkled for a moment, showing signs of spatial instability. She flicked her dagger and caught a fist-sized magical creature from within.

The creature had four ears, and its purplish-black body was uneven like a toad. Its tongue was red and flat, dripping colorless, transparent mucus. As soon as it was caught, it screamed in hysteria and jumped onto the tip of Zi's dagger, killing itself and contaminating the blade of the silver storyline dagger.

After that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Their bodies felt lighter, as if an invisible pressure had been lifted.

Not long after that, they suddenly heard the sound of a bird fluttering and beating its wings outside the car window. It turned out to be a lark, which were usually very shy, pecking at the window.

Sheyan immediately let the bird in, then spread out a newspaper. The lark began to peck the newspaper with its beak. Each letter pecked was jotted down by Sheyan. In the end, the message turned out to be:

"I'm fine. The thing is done."

It was obviously a message from Sanzi.

Sheyan appeared deep in thought as he said, "We can now confirm the second thing about the mastermind - he can only attack one target at a time. Otherwise, he would've dealt with Sanzi as well. Since Sanzi was moving alone, it was a great chance to eliminate him. The fact that he didn't shows that he can't control two sides at once."

Brother Black finally relaxed. He lit a cigar for himself and inhaled the pale blue smoke deep into his lungs, before puffing out a smoke ring. "That bastard! He actually followed us all the way into this world!"

Sheyan scoffed. "Since he doesn't know when to stop, this world will be his grave. Reef, help me take care of this woman. Let me bandage myself."

Reef picked up Sarah Connor's body and asked in doubt, "But boss, why do you value this woman's corpse so much? Sure, our mission was to protect her, but she's already dead!"

Sheyan pulled out the 'Chris Redfield's Lucky Bracelet' and soaked it in Sarah Connor's blood. Then, he continued to bare his upper body to let Zi pull out the bullets or shrapnels that were imbued in his body with the Force.

As for Reef's question, Sheyan narrowed his eyes and replied, "Since the male and female protagonists are both dead, why haven't we failed our mission yet?"

Reef felt weird about that too. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know. Is it related to this corpse?"

"Of course it is. I also know that if we don't do anything, the mission will fail in an hour at the very latest," replied Sheyan faintly.

"Why?" Even Zi was curious.

But their discussion was interrupted by Sanzi's message in the party communication channel. "Brother, I've dealt with that guy. You guys can come now."

Sheyan nodded. Brother Black stepped on the accelerator, executing a beautiful drift, and the car rushed towards Sanzi's location. Soon, a professional-looking ambulance, which looked very new, came into view. The ambulance was parked on the side of the road and Sanzi was in it.

"What the hell." Brother Black was so surprised that he dropped his cigar. "I know that the Terminator world is a bit more technologically advanced than the real world (Skynet was self-conscious on August 29, 1997, killing 3 billion people that day. What could the real-world internet do in 1997?), but the ambulance is not going to bring back a person whose neck has been broken for half an hour. Come on."

Sheyan massaged his temples and exhaled in relief. He said seriously, "Your thoughts are clouded, AK. Think carefully. Who's the main character in the Terminator?"

Mogensha was stunned. He murmured, "The main character…in the Terminator?"

At this time, Sanzi had already got out of the ambulance together with a rather unhappy-looking middle-aged man. He led the man to their car. Although the middle-aged man did not look like he had been bound, beaten, or threatened, his movements were stiff like a puppet.

If you looked carefully, you'd notice an inconspicuous spider crawling on the artery on his wrist.

The spider was not the harmless kind which bite could turn someone into an American superhero. It was a North American venomous spider, which cyanide venom it inject could kill someone in a minute and fourteen seconds.

The reason why the information was so precise was that when Sanzi "invited" the middle-aged man over, in order to put some weight on his persuasion, he let the spider bite an impolite security guard in front of the middle-aged man.

The security guard lasted for a minute and fourteen seconds.

Sanzi then asked for the middle-aged man's opinion. After confirming that the man had no intention to challenge the security guard's record, he brought him here without much trouble.

Sheyan stepped forward and said to the middle-aged man, "I'm so sorry we have to meet in this way, Professor Edwards. I know you're a distinguished Nobel Prize winner, a top geneticist in the United States, and an esteemed scholar globally - at least, that's what it says in the phone book. The reason we brought you here is because we need you to do a tiny little favour for us. Don't worry, it's something you've done countless times before."

Professor Edwards' face twitched. He could barely maintain his calm as he said, "Do you think I can perform any experiment in my present state, gentlemen? Every experiment I do requires the utmost precision!"

With a smile, Sanzi moved the venomous spider to the corner of a wall before releasing it. Sheyan smiled at the uneasy looking Professor Edwards and said, "See, we're very sincere. And I repeat, what I need you to do may be very complicated for us, but for you, it's as simple as drinking water. You may have done it thousands of times for the past 20 years. When it's all done, you'll get a handsome reward to make up for your psychological trauma."

Following Sheyan's words, Sanzi threw a diamond that was at least three carats to Professor Edwards. It was worth noting that there was a "XXX Jewelry Store" price tag on the diamond still. The diamond was obviously obtained through illegitimate means. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Professor Edwards was still hesitating on whether he should refuse the offer when Sheyan said softly, "That was just the deposit, prof. After it's done……" f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

Sanzi took out a shoebox-sized pouch and shook it. The contents tinkled loudly. Sheyan smiled and nodded. "This pouch will be yours. Of course, if you fail, it won't be pleasant for you."

The were currently in a very chaotic place with pretty bad public security, so as soon as Sanzi revealed their wealth just now, several people had already started moving towards them slowly with their hands behind their back. There were also some who would occasionally glance over from the distance. All of them obviously intended to rob the group, and probably assault Zi too while they were at it. Mogensha smoothly captured one who got too close. He's not exactly a nice guy himself. He stuffed the muzzle of his AK into the robber's mouth and fired without hesitation.

Professor Edwards' face twitched. He knew that he had met a group of criminals today.

"I can help you, but at least let me know what you want me to do!"

Sheyan asked Reef to bring Sarah Connor's body out.

"She's been dead for less than half an hour," he told the professor.

Professor Edwards went forward to inspect the corpse. After a while, he nodded heavily.

Sheyan stepped forward and whispered, "What I need you to do is…"

When Professor Edowrds heard Sheyan's request, his expression suddenly lightened up. Finally, he asked a little nervously, "That's all?"

Sheyan nodded. "That's all. But I need you to make sure that the success rate is 100%!"
