Chapter 188 Exchange
The entire federal central building fell into chaos due to the sudden killing of the leader.
In the senior conference room, Zong Yan sat in the center and presided over the overall situation.
After arranging all the follow-up plans, two core members of the same age as Zong Yan came out and whispered to each other with serious expressions.
"If Wei Shou hadn't died inexplicably, would it be his turn as the prime minister of a member state to take charge of the situation?"
As the leader's absolute confidant and a senior commander, Wei Shou has been taking care of all aspects of federal affairs over the years and can be said to be the leader's true right-hand man.
"Haven't you heard? I just got the news a few days ago that Wei Shou was killed by Zong Yan's son."
"Ah? No way?"
"Otherwise, why would Zong Yan go to such lengths to conceal and obstruct Wei Shou's whereabouts on the southern battlefield?"
The man suddenly realized something and speculated, "No wonder the leader has been so dissatisfied with Zong Yan recently. So, Zong Yan planned to get rid of Wei Shou. Hiss, then you say, could it be that he was the one who…"
"Shut up. You can't say that. We have no evidence." Another man looked around warily and said, "But I think it's pretty close. Think about it, why did the control system of the entire Federal Central Building fail at that moment? The glass was originally bulletproof, and the leader's office was heavily protected. And the sniper's position, I just checked the bullet's trajectory, and it's obvious that the shooter had planned the position in advance. How could it be possible without any coordination?"
Zong Yan walked expressionlessly down the long corridor until he reached the Prime Minister's office. His subordinate, following him, glanced at the encrypted message on the laptop, then stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Prime Minister, that street sweeper wants to see you."
Zong Yan looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and the spot where the leader had fallen, with no expression. No one could tell what he was thinking. The office was silent for a moment before Zong Yan said calmly, "Approved."
The deputy nodded, and a moment later brought in a man wearing a federal officer's uniform with his hat pulled down low. He then quietly closed the door for Zong Yan and stood guard outside.
The man took off his military cap, revealing his red hair.
Karl looked at Zong Yan, a serious expression on his face that was rare for him: "I've done it. What about your promise to me?"
Zong Yan never gave him a glance from beginning to end. His eyes were fixed on the chair where the leader used to sit. He slowly walked over and sat on it, holding the armrests on both sides of the chair, as if holding power, solemnly and slowly.
Karl frowned and said, "You asked me to snipe the leader and I did, but tell me where Sui Sui is."
He didn't know how Zong Yan's men had found him. Initially, they offered to free him if he quit the scavengers, but Carl, concerned for Qiao Sui Sui's safety, hesitated for a moment before ignoring them. Later, they came a second time, claiming they knew Sui Sui's exact location, but in exchange, he had to kill someone.
Carl knew very well that the crime of assassinating the leader could not be washed away no matter what.
Being able to escape the Federation and gain freedom was indeed important to him, but compared to Qiao Suisui, it seemed so insignificant. So, even though Carl knew he would likely be pushed out as a scapegoat in the future, he still resolutely decided to accept Zong Yan's conditions.
"Are you also one of her spouses?" Zong Yan sat in the chair, looking at Carl, as if comparing something.
Karl was already furious at this point. He didn't want to waste time talking nonsense with the Prime Minister. Finding her a minute later meant putting her in more danger.
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
Zong Yan raised his hand to check the time, estimating that Zong Fang should have arrived. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, do you know how to play chess?"
Qiao Susu maintained her breathing rhythm and gave birth with all her strength, but because she hadn't exerted such a large amount of energy for a long time, she just felt sleepy.
"Vital signs are starting to decline."
"Heart rate, 100."
"80."
“65.”
“It fell too fast.”
"Push harder."
Her natural healing ability allowed her to maintain her vital signs at critical levels, but she was completely exhausted. Not only had she been eating very little recently, her nutritional needs were insufficient, but she had just witnessed Anubis being oppressed, which had largely dissipated her inner strength. Furthermore, throughout the birthing process, the midwife had simply forced her to push, refusing even water and roughly prying her legs apart. This left Qiao Sui Sui feeling extremely tired and annoyed.
However, the system's announcement sound would appear after a while——
"Congratulations to the host on the birth of her twenty-sixth offspring. Beast form: King Cobra, Gender: Male, Genes: Excellent, Mental Power: S-rank, Talent: Not yet acquired. 100 points awarded, with an additional 100 points awarded for having an S-rank Mental Power. Item: Five Senses Amplification Potion."
"Congratulations to the host on the birth of her twenty-seventh offspring. Beast form: King Cobra, Gender: Female, Genes: Excellent, Mental Power: SS-level, Talent: Not yet acquired. 100 points awarded, plus an additional 100 points for having an S-level Mental Power. Item: 10 Mental Power Gems."
Just as she was lying on the delivery bed listening to the system's broadcast, suddenly, five or six officers rushed in from outside.
"Just received news that the leader was assassinated!"
"We're surrounded. We don't have enough people to fight them head-on. What should we do?"
"She's the mate of this ancient human. If we kidnap her, can we get a chance of survival?"
The officers at the federal base had always been in a competitive environment, and now, fear was growing in their hearts just to survive. One of them reacted the fastest, shooting his companions one by one as soon as he finished speaking, and then "bang bang bang" shot all the midwives to death.
"Sorry, we can't leave because there are too many people." He loaded the gun and walked over. When he saw Qiao Susu on the delivery bed, he was stunned for a moment, then licked his lips.
"I've never seen a female give birth, but I'm sure these ancient humans are different. They look pretty impressive."
Seeing the man's disgusted look, Qiao Suisui tried to get off the bed and run, but she had no strength. The male officer picked her up. Qiao Suisui slapped him in the face, but it was soft and not threatening at all.
"Get away from me."
The male officer smiled evilly, lifted her skirt with the muzzle of his gun, and when he saw two straight, snow-white legs, he felt his whole body getting hot.
"It's quite choking. How about I help you deliver the baby?"
Qiao Sui Sui pushed him away, but the male didn't care and leaned forward to kiss her. Just when he was about to touch her——
"Swish—"
'bite--'
The scalpel pierced the male's eyeball and lodged itself squarely in the wall behind him, halfway embedded in the blade. The entire handle still emitted a vibrating humming sound. This showed how much strength and hatred the wielder had used.
The male officer covered his eyes and screamed loudly, stumbling backward and firing panickedly in all directions with his gun in his hand.
Qiao Susu was pushed away by him violently. She no longer had the strength to support herself. She closed her eyes and felt a sense of weightlessness. Unexpectedly, before she fell to the ground, she fell into someone's arms.
Zong Fang hugged her tightly, breathing heavily, with fear in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his hand, and five scalpels appeared at his fingertips, flying towards the male officer as he moved.
One knife cut off his genitals, one shot out his other eye, one knife went straight through his throat, and two knives cut off his two hands.
