339: Caring for pregnant women

Tian Ming’s mood instantly became complicated. He understood what Lisa’s appearance meant.

Lisa’s sudden presence here indicated that she had expanded her psychic teleportation ability to a usable level; otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared in the Sea Bottom Base.

Lisa was carrying a silver sea fish, somewhat resembling a hairtail but not quite. Tian Ming followed her; he was in a phantom state, so Lisa didn't sense anything unusual.

Tian Ming followed Lisa into a cabin in the living area. This cabin was noticeably much more spacious than the others and more luxuriously decorated. It seemed this should be Lisa's private residence.

Lisa took the silver sea fish into the kitchen and skillfully began to process it. Tian Ming quietly followed behind Lisa, watching her clean the fish and then marinate it with some seasonings. Her movements were practiced and fluid; he hadn't expected her to know how to cook.

The kitchen was filled with the fresh aroma of sea fish, stimulating one's appetite. Lisa placed the marinated fish into the oven, adjusted the temperature and time, and then sat by the dining table to wait. At this moment, the communication device on Lisa's hand lit up.

She pressed it lightly, and a projection was cast into the air, forming a virtual image. The person in the image was familiar: Duke Lawrence.

“Father!” Lisa called out.

“Hmm, how is she? Is she normal?” Duke Lawrence asked.

“Her condition is quite good. I’m making her fish now. It’s not too late for you to stop. Once Tian Ming finds this place, everything will be too late. He will never allow you to use his woman and child as experimental samples.” Lisa tried to persuade her father, but she was rudely interrupted by Duke Lawrence.

“Shut up! Do you not understand how important our research is! As long as we succeed, we will possess endless power! Tian Ming and that woman are merely our tools. Don’t forget, you live for the family, not for them!” Duke Lawrence said sternly.

Lisa bit her lip, a trace of helplessness and sorrow appearing on her face. The ding of the oven interrupted their conversation. Lisa got up and took out the baked fish, its aroma wafting through the air. She put the fish into a meal box and said to the virtual image, “Forget it, you’re just an old stubborn man?”

Duke Lawrence said with a cold expression, “Watch her closely. Don’t let anything go wrong. My plan cannot afford any mistakes.”

Lisa said nothing, choosing instead to directly cut off the communication, and the virtual image disappeared. She placed the packed fish into an insulated box. Then, Lisa picked up a briefcase and walked out of the cabin. Tian Ming followed closely behind, tracking her all the way.

They passed through the living area and arrived at an elevator. Lisa extended her palm, and after her iris was scanned, the elevator door opened, and she stepped inside. Tian Ming followed closely behind, also entering the elevator.

The elevator began to descend slowly. This Sea Bottom Base still had space in its lowest rock layer, no wonder Number One didn't discover Shen Yuan's existence after infiltrating.

The elevator finally stopped, and the door opened. The environment here was much better, very quiet, and there were many professional medical staff. This was a top-tier private hospital. Lisa stepped out of the elevator and walked down the hospital corridor.

The environment here was completely different from the base above; there was no cold feeling, but rather a sense of warmth and tranquility.

Tian Ming noticed that the medical staff here were all wearing white uniforms and had kind smiles on their faces. Lisa walked quickly, and Tian Ming followed closely behind her.

There were only five or six comprehensive wards here, but all were top-configured. Lisa walked to the innermost ward, took out a card, and swiped it on the card reader on the door. The door slowly opened, and they walked into a spacious room. The room was furnished with various medical equipment, and there were even green plants.

A familiar figure lay on the hospital bed. A female nurse was telling Shen Yuan a joke in broken Chinese.

At that instant, Tian Ming wanted to immediately exit his phantom state, but Number Three's voice rang in his ears.

“Master, a consciousness detonator has been implanted in Shen Yuan’s brain. You must not act rashly. I have already connected to the wireless devices here through you, and I will do my best to crack it. Please summon your Number Two clone. I will connect with Number Two to build a local miniature host to alleviate the load of the remote connection.”

Tian Ming nodded slightly, cooperating with Number Three. He could now control Type-1 organisms, but not humans. Even if this Sea Bottom Base could not be fully controlled by Number Three, then that consciousness detonator was probably an extremely tricky thing.

Lisa, who could teleport, had not taken Shen Yuan away, probably because of this consciousness detonator.

“Little Yuan, come eat. I made you some sea fish.” Lisa walked forward, dismissed the nurse, and sat by the bed.

Shen Yuan’s condition was actually very good; she didn't look sickly at all. She had a big belly and a slight smile on her face. The foreign nurse's joke wasn't funny at all, but her effort to speak Chinese was quite amusing.

Smelling the fresh aroma of sea fish in the air, Shen Yuan sniffed and said, “It smells so good. Sister Lisa’s cooking is getting better and better.”

Lisa smiled, opened the insulated box, took out the fish, and placed it on the small table by the bed. “Eat quickly, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

Shen Yuan nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and began to taste. The fish was tender and fragrant, and she couldn't help but exclaim, “Sister Lisa, your cooking is truly amazing!”

Lisa watched her eat, a satisfied smile on her face. She stood up and locked the room door. Then, an ionization shield formed around her.

“Little Yuan, when your child is born, I’ll take the child and teleport away first. Tian Ming will come to save you. I hope that by then, you can ask him to spare my father.”

Shen Yuan nodded slightly: “Okay, I’ll try my best then.”

Lisa smiled and said, “For the past month or so, I’ve been feeding you two. After the child is born, I’ll be the godmother.”

Originally, Lisa had directly teleported into the base to take her away, but she had been implanted with a consciousness detonator. This was a tiny, miniature nanchip. Once she left the base, this thing could instantly release a large surge of electrical current, directly causing Shen Yuan's brain to go into shock and die.

Facing such a situation, Lisa could only give up. During their month of getting along, Lisa had been communicating with Shen Yuan using an ionization shield. The two discussed that after the child was born, Lisa would take the child first, as this was the safest way.

Shen Yuan looked at Lisa and said, “Don’t be the godmother. If I can’t get out, then you can be the child’s mother.”
