Chapter 936: Slaughtering the Ovum

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

After Aziz rushed in, the muscles of this strange black tunnel twisted and grew wildly to close the hole on the tough, strong meat wall.

The large hole that was at least three meters high and two meters wide made by high-energy weapons was closed in less than 20 seconds. One could imagine the vitality of the reproductive system from this.

Although the interior of the flesh tunnel fell into darkness again, Sheyan and Aziz had prepared lighting tools before they entered, such as headlamps and phosphorescent combat suits. Aziz handed the small flat piece in his hand to Sheyan and said:

"This is a piece of bone that dropped when the explosions just now hit the placenta at the side. Take a look!"

Sheyan carefully observed the hard bone piece and found that there were many marks left by the sharp objects on it, as well as bloodstains that seeped deep into the internal texture of the bone. He turned the bone piece over and found that the back contained some fine black hairs which felt soft and thick when they were touched. He exclaimed:

"This thing looks a lot like a part of a human baby's skull. The outer surface is covered by newborn baby hair while the inner surface is hard!"

Aziz squinted his eyes and said:

"Your guess is probably right. This place really spells trouble."

As he said that, he took out a bayonet from his personal space. The bayonet was very strange. Sheyan couldn't tell what grade it was at all. When light shined on it, a penetrating chill would travel through the edge. It felt like anything that came into contact with the bayonet, be it air, water, or sight, would grind and sharpen the bayonet.

Aziz fixed the bayonet on the muzzle of his gun, then cut his palm and wiped his blood on the blade. The bayonet absorbed the blood with a greedy pleasure. The humming sound it made echoed in the confined environment and resonated with their eardrums.

Logically speaking, the current environment was quite unfavorable for gunners like Aziz, but Aziz had full confidence in his own skills so he decided to follow Sheyan in anyway.

Suddenly, the communicator in Sheyan's ear vibrated. Senior Agent C who led the team asked:

"Seaman, this is C. What's the situation?"

Sheyan pressed the earpiece and wrinkled his nose as he said:

"The environment is basically safe for humans, but the smell here is terrible. I'd rather stay in a rotten sewer than in this tunnel. The good news is, it's probably not poisonous. I urgently need you to provide some fresh air for me."

Senior Agent C was a tall man with gray hair. He immediately replied:

"Move five meters to the west. We will blast open a hole after a 10-second countdown."

Ten seconds later, a slurry of blood and flesh erupted from the meat wall five meters in front of Sheyan, some of it splashing onto his face. Sheyan did not reach out with his hand to wipe the blood away. Instead, he carefully observed. He noticed that there were indeed squirming creatures that looked like human babies in the pale white placentas on the inner wall. They all looked virtually the same.

Five senior MIB agents sneaked in wearing gas masks. The MIB was taking a huge risk in this operation. If these five experienced and powerful agents died, the MIB would probably need more than 10 years to train new agents to replace them.

The part of the meat wall that was destroyed by their energy weapons closed up and once again looked as good as new. C tentatively asked Sheyan:

"What's our objective?"

Sheyan took out a tablet computer and pressed on it a few times, pointing out:

"Our current position should be the in the Fallopian tube outside the left ovary. There's no doubt that if there's anything weird happening, it must be in the center of the womb! According to the original plan,we should move from the left to the right. The exit should be on the west side of the right ovary. After we blast open an exit there, our people should have captured the place and cleaned up the soil nicely."

Agent C nodded and said:

"Okay, we'll move according to the plan then. I'm setting up the time bomb to explode an hour and thirty minutes later."

The meat tunnel (Fallopian tube) they were in was quite spacious. It was almost 4 meters high and 5 meters wide. The wall secreted a kind of liquid and was in constant peristalsis. When they walked down the tunnel, the inclination became very steep, but the circular ring patterns on the wall of the tunnel provided places that had depressions as deep as 10cm which they could grab onto to steady themselves. However, their hands inevitably became coated with the sticky liquid.

There was also a hard to describe stench in the air. After smelling the stench for a long time, one would find their heartbeat naturally increasing and feel their heart beating against their ribs.

After Agent C installed the time bomb, they continued to walk cautiously toward the bottom. After about 200 meters or so, they suddenly felt the floor moving as if there was an earthquake. If they were ordinary people they would have fallen down. They were immediately on guard.

Aziz nonchalantly pierced his bayonet into the meat wall at his side. The meat wall contracted in pain and clamped tighter onto the bayonet. With that, Aziz easily stabilised his body. He closed his eyes while his two ears moved slightly. After a short while, he exclaimed:

"...This is bad. Something seems to be rolling down from above!"

Sheyan sucked in a cold breath. They were currently in a meat tunnel which had smooth sides with nowhere to hide. Something that made such a commotion while it rolled down must be gigantic in size! Their situation now was like tomb raiders who encountered one of those classic rolling stone traps!

However, their weird experiences so far gave birth to a weird idea in Sheyan's mind.

The huge organism they were in resembled the female reproductive system, and they were currently situated in the Fallopian tube a bit below the "ovary". From this, it wasn't difficult to infer what the thing rolling down was - something which rolled inside the fallopian tube, what else could it be besides an ovum?

As soon as Sheyan realised this, his gaze turned sharp.

The rolling noise kept getting close. Because the wall of the meat tunnel and the rolling thing were not hard, the sound of the friction between them was not so much a "rumble" but rather a noise similar to stirring a ladle in a pot of extremely sticky substance.

Senior Agent C and the rest of the agents managed to blast a hole in the meat wall using their high-energy weapons to avoid the giant rolling thing. However, Sheyan screamed at them:

"Don't dodge it! We can't let this thing roll down! I'll stand in front and block it. Make sure you guys destroy it!"

After Sheyan finished speaking, he crouched down and rushed up the incline! Now that he knew the object wasn't something hard, he naturally dared to meet it head-on!

Although Sheyan was sprinting up an incline, it only took him less than 30 meters to raise his speed to the peak because his attributes far surpassed those of the average person!

He could now see that the spherical object rolling down from the distance was about four meters in diameter with a white outer membrane covering its surface. Below the white outer membrane was a layer of purple inner membrane. The blood vessels on the purple inner membrane twisted like snakes and penetrated deep into the sphere.

The impact on the sphere from its constant rolling was quite fierce, but because there were two layers of membranes tightly wrapped around the sphere, the sphere appeared rather elastic. There would be a slight depression at the part where a collision occurred, but the strong elasticity of the membrane would make the sphere bounce back and restore its shape.

Sheyan charged towards the sphere without showing the slightest hint of hesitation. Both his hands curled into fists. He slammed them onto the giant ovum with a scream!

The spots on the outer membrane hit by Sheyan sinked inside for nearly a meter. The membrane's flexibility was stretched to the limit but it refused to rupture. A strange mental fluctuation emanated from within the sphere and lashed outwards.

Two equally powerful forces collided and the clear sound of bones cracking could be heard. Sheyan groaned and was forced back by about eight steps before he fell to the ground. Blood flowed down his nose, mouth and ears like several red snakes slithering down his face. However, his character was extremely tough. After a roll, he pulled out his long saber. The faint blue light from the saber penetrated into his eyes.

When Sheyan temporarily halted the momentum of the giant ovum, Senior Agent C took the opportunity to aim his gun and fire. A glow condensed on the muzzle of the high-energy gun. A blinding bluish-white light flashed through the air....

And exploded!

Blood mixed with large lumps of organic structures flew all over the air. At least a third of the ovum was destroyed by this blow, revealing the dark red medulla inside. In the deep, bloody hole, two rows of parallel white spines were faintly visible!

A sense of despair so strong it felt like it had substance spread through the air. It continued to spread outwards. All the MIB senior agents were elites, but under such a painful and tragic feeling, they could only fall to the ground, twitching and vomiting.

Fortunately, at that moment, Sheyan stepped out and thrust his saber into the core of the ovum, then twisted with force! There seemed to be a painful scream in the air, but it gradually died down!
