The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 889: Unexpected Choice

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: TheAlliance

When he heard the Blood Sensing was coming, the muscles in Sheyan's body involuntarily tightened. The surrounding masseurs immediately noticed it because they could feel the pain in their fingers from kneading on Sheyan's muscles. They nervously stopped, fearing that they made a mistake in their massaging technique and had hurt their client.

Sheyan was silent for a few seconds, then said in a heavy tone:

"Well, that's it for today. You guys can leave now."

As he said that, he paid each of them according to the price they had agreed upon beforehand.

The masseurs were of course very happy because the price was for a two hour massage session, and it had only been half an hour.

They went out one by one and then closed the door. A map showing the entire New York City suddenly flashed in front of Sheyan's eyes, showing more than ten red dots shining on it. The dot that belonged to Sheyan shone with a green light.

Sheyan's breathing suddenly stopped, because he found that, at that moment, there were three red dots shining within one kilometer away from him ! ! !

This could only mean one thing. One deadly thing.

Less than 48 hours after the Bloody World started, a total of four participants had already gathered together. One could expect the fierce conflict that would erupt later!

At this time, Sheyan received another notification.

[Your military rank: Major]

[Would you like to spend 5 achievement points to turn on 'Penetrating Vision'? This ability will allow your vision to penetrate any obstacles between you and the participants, enabling you to lock on to the approximate location of the target.]

[Hint: This is a passive ability. 2 conditions must be met for it to activate: (1) Blood Sensing is in effect, and (2) the straight-line distance between you and the target is at most 3 km.]

[Hint: This ability will disappear after this world ends.]

Sheyan knew that it was definitely not the time to be stingy. He immediately chose to pay and turn on the ability!

He was obviously in the 17th-floor presidential suite with no way to look directly outside, but after the ability was activated, the surrounding buildings turned blurry, becoming translucent and forming a cluster of black and white lines. He could instantly see through them!

First, he looked towards the first red dot. He saw that on a footbridge downstairs about 100 meters away, there was an area of about 100 cubic meters which appeared in normal view.

There were 18 people within the 100 cubic meter area. Among them, 13 were pedestrians walking on the footbridge, while the other 5 were drivers or passengers below the bridge.

Apparently, there was a participant among them.

Sheyan believed that if his military rank was higher, the scope of the area would be smaller. If it was high enough, he may even be able to directly lock onto the target.

Sheyan then looked towards the location of another red dot, which was located in an extremely crowded shopping complex towards the east. There were lots of people in the space of one hundred cubic meters. Including those on different floors and in the elevators, there were at least a hundred people.

However, in the next second, Sheyan witnesses an unforgettable scene.

A burst of blood appeared on the head of a little boy holding onto his mother's hand!

The little boy was flung away from the impact, but a rippling protective layer suddenly appeared on the surface of his body. Blood covered his face as he disappeared in the air. When he appeared again, he was already behind his "mother".

A vicious second shot promptly followed. The bullet flashed and the "mother" who was used as a cover by the little boy was completely torn apart. Her body scattered and rained down, but it appeared that the mother was not a human being at all! Paper, bamboo strips, and other wastes dropped from the body amidst a black mist!

The little boy's agility was beyond words. Shots were released one after another from the distance but none of the bullets hit.

These shots appeared monotonous. Dry. Dull. Uncreative. Tedious. Boring. Yet each bullet was like a merciless ice shard that pierced the enemy and then shattered!

The style reminded Sheyan of someone. Someone who was long dead but left a deep impression on Sheyan. Someone who was once his ally, then became his enemy.

The sniper in the world of Harry Potter, Diaz.

They became allies due to profit, and became enemies also due to profit.

Of course, the one shooting now only had a style somewhat similar to Diaz. It was like you playing badminton versus Lin Dan playing badminton. You're playing the same game but the difference between you two are worlds apart. Compared to the person shooting right now, Diaz's skills and strength level were like a child's!

(TN note: Lin Dan is the Roger Federer of badminton.)

The little boy was obviously also a strong Growth-Hunter. Unfortunately, under the attack of the enemy, he had almost no room to fight back. No matter how he evaded, no matter how he tried to break away, the enemy's bullet would always accurately head towards his fatal spot on the next second!

He merely lasted for one minute and thirteen shots before issuing a painful scream. Shots turned him into a torrent of blood that poured onto the people underneath. These people remained motionless for a few seconds, then suddenly screamed hysterically.

An immensely powerful participant died on the spot without even a chance to fight back!

Sheyan watched the battle in a daze. The string of shots simply reminded him of a precise, meticulous and interconnected series of gears, or a boring, monotonous, but powerful assembly line! Once a shot connected, the target would fall into the opponent's rhythm; unable to resist, unable to defend, with only death awaiting!

Sheyan hastily looked in the direction of the gunman. Then, his mouth curled into a smile. He saw an acquaintance.

The gunman was none other than the core member of the Glory Party, the one who was almost equal to Zeus in status, America's public enemy, Aziz!

And more importantly, because Aziz was eager to kill the enemy in one go, he focused his remaining concentration on guarding against enemies who would take the chance to attack himself. He neglected the big picture, so he was now caught in an extremely awkward situation.

The other participant that was on the footbridge took advantage of this opportunity to summon a total of four summoned creatures!

These four summoned creatures did not look too strong at first glance. They were all wolf-type creatures that were so fast that they left residual images when they ran. They surrounded Aziz from four directions, staring him down.

The participant wasn't done yet. He violently slammed on the left side of his chest. His left chest slowly popped out like a CD-ROM drive opening. A videotape-sized cassette was ejected from within, which transformed in the air into a fierce wolfdog made of steel. It seemed to be a robotic dog from the Transformers world. It also appeared to be the leader of the summoned pack. The robotic dog rushed madly towards Aziz.

Not only that, the participant did not forget about the existence of Sheyan. The "CD-ROM drive" on his chest did not close, but instead popped out another disc which quickly changed into a large Laserbeak. The Laserbeak flew around the participant. Not only could it detect danger, it could also block attacks for its master at critical moments.

Even up to now, Sheyan merely thought of the guy as a mediocre contestant who was pretty decent in summoning.

However, reality immediately gave Sheyan a hard slap in the face! After the guy had arranged everything, he sneered and proceeded to pull out a black, heavy-looking sniper rifle from his personal space, erected the sniper, and took aim!

This guy turned out to be a monster proficient in both firearms and summoning!

Looking at his series of actions, Sheyan couldn't help but think of the scenes of people hunting in ancient times. In those eras, the dog was first released to smoke out the rabbit before the hunter calmly shot the rabbit down. This participant held his heavy duty sniper rifle in wait while continuously issuing summoned creatures to harass the enemy. How similar was his style to ancient hunting techniques?

Even someone as powerful as Aziz was suppressed by him into a tight corner with no room for retreat. More importantly, the summoning man could endlessly put out summoned creatures to attack Aziz, thus restraining Aziz to the limit.

Aziz probably wouldn't even think of a desperate,suicidal retaliation, because don't forget, those two both realised Sheyan's existence! They knew that fighting to the death would only benefit Sheyan!

Under such circumstances, there was no way for Senyan to kill anyone. Because the other parties could also monitor his approximate location, even if he activated 'Pestilence Monarch', it would be difficult for him to get close to two top gunmen who were on high vigilance. Sheyan had only two choices.

The first one was to walk away. He could safely retreat in one piece in he chose to leave, but it would definitely end in Aziz paying a very hefty price, maybe even his life. And the summoner + sniper combo monster probably won't show Sheyan any appreciation.

The second choice would be to activate the virus in the sniper/summoner. In this case, Aziz's hope of escaping would greatly increase, but this option did not seem to benefit Sheyan in any way. In fact, he would gain an enemy.

But when Sheyan thought about it, he affirmed that it was very difficult for him to fish in troubled waters, so he could already eliminate the option of killing anyone.

So what was left for him was either to walk away, to help the sniper/summoner, or to help Aziz.
