The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 999: Hidden

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

Thanks to the help from Reef and Mogensha, Fox River Prison suffered the embarrassment of having its first full power outage since it was put into operation.

Right now, although the power supply problem had been resolved, the government was afraid of supplying power to the prison because it had been fully occupied by prisoners! Supplying power to the prison right now would just strengthen the enemy! Therefore, none of the information about the source of the trouble, Sheyan and Sanzi, had leaked out. The outside was entirely ignorant of the situation inside.

This bizarre situation was made possible not only due to the blackout, but also thanks to the great system of the Fox River Prison. In order to maintain a sense of mystery and strictness to the outside world, the warden forbade the use of mobile phones and other such modern tools inside the prison to cover up the happenings on the inside. The first thing the prison officers and staff had to when when they stepped into the prison was to turn in their mobile phones and other communication devices. They could only communicate through custom-made walkie-talkies once on the inside. If that was not the case, the prison guards could have spread news of Sheyan and Sanzi with merely an instant message.

Because Sheyan realised this, they did not arouse any suspicion when they claimed to be the negotiators sent by the prisoners. There was not much trouble after that. After breaking away from the army\'s encirclement, they managed to escape the police\'s pursuit despite having five police cars escorting them.

Sheyan broke the handcuffs on Sanzi\'s wrists effortlessly, then threw them into the nearby bushes. They walked away side by side as casually as if they were taking a stroll. A hundred meters behind them, two police cars had overturned and were smoking on the ground. It was now rush hour, so traffic was viciously blocked and a large crowd of pedestrians were swarming the scene like a group of flies.

Several other policemen timidly and carefully followed behind Sheyan and Sanzi. They seemed reluctant to catch up, but they had no choice but to tail the two. Sheyan was not concerned with their existence in the slightest. There were seven taser guns in those five police cars and they had all been destroyed. Therefore, the two brothers were keeping a rather relaxed pace.

Sheyan was starting to understand Reef\'s pain. After every fight, he had to pay a fee to disguise his grown creature. Reef had already mentioned this problem to him before since it was the same for Reef\'s servant. The fee was not that high, but when battles happened frequently, it would accumulate into a considerable amount. The only solution was to purchase a package that could permanently provide disguise in non-combat state.

Half an hour later, when Party Ace reunited, they realised that the whole Los Angeles city government had been thrown into chaos - not only because of the outstanding performance of Sheyan and Sanzi, but also thanks to Zi, who seemed to have caused some really big trouble. Perhaps because she was part of the 1% in the real world, she could accurately target where it would hurt the government the most. On the contrary, the citizens were already numb to the commotion since the former large-scale invasion of the Terminators had given their nerves a good workout.

Mogensha was the last to return. There were still contestants at large in Los Angeles, so Sheyan was very worried about Mogensha\'s safety. It would only take one planned ambush and a few shots of the taser gun to threaten his life.

Seeing Mogensha return unharmed, Sheyan finally relaxed.

After suffering such a serious terrorist attack, Los Angeles would surely launch a large scale purging campaign, and catch several scapegoats to take responsibility for it.

The five of them went directly to Santa Monica Bay according to their plan. Sheyan chose a large yacht, jumped on it, and sailed it out to sea. At this time, everyone was looking at Sheyan with concern, because of course they have found out by now that the grown creature was carrying a corpse. Zi saw that there was no disappointment on Sheyan\'s face, so she asked cautiously, "How\'s the mission?"

Sheyan smiled as he replied, "The mission has not failed yet."

Following that, he pointed to the corpse that the grown creature was carrying.

"Now, allow me to introduce to you Mr. Nicholas, whom we spent a lot of effort to invite here."

When people heard Sheyan say this, they looked to the corpse with some anticipation. Unfortunately, there was no response at all from dear Mr. Nicholas. They could see that he was definitely dead.

After an awkward silence, Mogensha could not help exclaiming, "Boss, if you want to talk to him, you might need to become a necromancer first."

Sheyan laughed. "Do you think the mission will fail right away after the death of a key figure? Nope. I must correct this misconception that you have. Have you forgotten what we\'ve just experienced? Ms. Sarah Connor was dead in every way, but she was still an absolutely indispensable part of our mission…"

Sheyan\'s words did sound very reasonable. Following that, Sheyan shared all his information with everyone, then announced that the meeting was adjourned. Everyone was tired after such a long journey. It was time to let them take a deserved rest.

At this time, the sun was just about to set. The upper porthole of the yacht was made of a special glass materials, which turned the light from the sunset into a golden glow. The white full moon appeared on the horizon, as if it was engraved in the sky. A scenery that had both the sun and the moon was quite the spectacle. The peaceful scenery, accompanied by the gently blowing sea breeze, seemed to wash away any fatigue on the body.

Zi walked over with a glass of red wine. In such a short while, Zi had already changed into a loose and relaxing dress, but the tight black stockings on her legs were still so seductive. In addition, when the breeze gently blew against her, it pushed her loose dress tight against her body, showing off her slim, alluring figure. She was simply stunning.

Although Sheyan did show much reaction on the surface, he could feel his throat going dry. From his perspective, Zi\'s fair and delicate skin was on full display, as were her beautiful, long eyelashes. An intimate but awkward atmosphere permeated through the air. It was an atmosphere Sheyan had never experienced before, so he could only find a topic of conversation to break the awkward moment.

"You\'re following up on our side mission, right? How\'s the progress of Vincent\'s wish to return to Cyberdyne?"

Hearing Sheyan move to this topic, the corners of Zi\'s mouth curled up in pride.

"Supervisor Callit has been taken care of. Things should proceed smoothly from here on out, now that we\'ve dealt with the stubborn old man. Technical Director Pippen is an old pervert, so that\'s easy. Ritton will probably be tougher, but I already have some ideas. More importantly, Vincent himself has felt the threat, and had convinced Callit to let him join his team - so there\'s no need to worry about his safety anymore."

When Sheyan heard the words "old pervert", he could not help looking Zi up and down. Zi\'s cheeks turned crimson as she glare at him and stomp his foot with her heel. Sheyan could dodge the attack, but he did not dare. After the stomp, their legs immediately came close to each other. Even through the trousers and stockings, Sheyan could still feel the softness of her thigh. He immediately burned with desire.

Their position was rather awkward at the moment. Zi looked up at Sheyan while her teeth gently bit into her lower lip. There was a kind of obstinate charm to her.

But at that moment, Sanzi suddenly cried out from below, "Bro! Are we going into the high seas? Won\'t the return trip take too long?"

Zi and Sheyan immediately separated as if they were thieves caught in the act. Sheyan coughed sheepishly and calmed himself down before he shouted back, "Let me take a look."

As he said that, he went downstairs in a hurry.

Zi stared into his back and softly humphed.

"Let\'s see how long you can run away from me."

***********

The large yacht they were on had a sailing capacity of over 2,000 kilometers and could withstand Beaufort 11 typhoon if it did not get close to the eye of the typhoon. Therefore, in order to avoid U.S. coastal patrol, Sheyan ordered them to sail directly into the high seas, so that they could rest at ease.

After some intense discussion, they came up with a general plan for what to do next.

The reason the metal nut pointed them at Nicholas was so that the owner of the nut could unlock Nicholas\' secret.

The Nicholas\' secret was obviously something quite special. It possessed the following characteristics:

First, it did not matter whether Nicholas was dead or alive. If he\'s alive, great. If he\'s dead, the secret could still be uncovered.

Second, the secret was very well hidden. Even under the pressure and torture from the U.S. government, Nicholas did not break.

Third, the secret was so powerful that Nicholas, who appeared to have a cowardly and weak character, became strong enough to withstand the professional interrogation of the FBI.

And finally, the secret was so important that Nicholas was classified as a special criminal in the prison. In the case of an accident, he was to be killed to prevent the secret from leaking out.

There\'s a high chance that the only thing the FBI did not know was the first point! This should be the ultimate cause of their failure to retrieve the secret by interrogating Nicholas. Sheyan and his party managed to draw a very crucial conclusion from this point…
