Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 397

Chapter 397: The Almighty Meng Chao

“What’s going on now?” When Meng Chao saw that Xiao Fanghua still had all her limbs intact and sported no wounds, he relaxed a little.

“It’s thanks to you… warning us in time. I went to Old Zhao… and delivered the news to all the people attending… the transmigration technology conference.”

Xiao Fanghua cradled her stomach while speaking falteringly. “But before we could spread out… an explosion came from… the bottom of the hotel… Half of the hotel is underground… Many people who ran down… are trapped in darkness. Thank goodness we listened to you… and ran up. We wanted… to run to the roof.”

This was undoubtedly the correct choice.

Fortunately, Meng Chao’s performance over the past few months had impressed Zhao Feixuan and Xiao Fanghua, so they knew that while he was young, he was very capable. He would definitely not say something without reason.

Hence, when they received the warning, they did not hesitate for even a moment. At the fastest speed possible, they ran to the roof. Quite a number of them had already successfully reached the roof.

The monsters had launched their attack from underground.

But the Heaven Realm and Deity Realm superhumans had maglev superpowers, while others had all sorts of anti-aircraft guns as well as armored airships. They could secure air superiority firmly in their hands.

The chances of them surviving if they ran up were higher than if they ran down. Unfortunately, halfway up, they ran into an insect swarm and the team was separated.

Zhao Feixuan and the other superhumans who had higher fighting strength risked their lives to attract the attention of most of the high-grade monsters, so Xiao Fanghua and the other old and weak would have a chance to escape to safety.

The monsters surrounding the administrative corridor were not the strongest. After all, they were normal monsters who could be killed with just rifle grenades.

Xiao Fanghua only knew that Zhao Feixuan should be a few floors higher. As for the specific floor, she did not know, because the communication lines were a mess.

“What about the specialists of Project 101, especially Professor Lu Tianxing?” Meng Chao asked.

“Before we were separated, Old Zhao was protecting Professor Lu. Now… Now…” Xiao Fanghua’s face turned paler. Her stomach squirmed, and she was in so much pain that she could not say anything.

Lu Siya went forward and placed her hand on Xiao Fanghua’s stomach. She might not be a doctor, but she was a Spirit Sensor. She was incredibly sensitive to a human’s vitality magnetic field.

“The two new vitality magnetic fields in your body are getting stronger.” She looked up at Xiao Fanghua and asked, “Twins?”

Xiao Fanghua bit her lip and nodded lightly. “My due date is next month.”

“You won’t be able to wait until next month.” Lu Siya frowned. “You’re going into labor.”

“That’s…”

The eyes of everyone, including Meng Chao and Xiao Fanghua, went wide.

“I-I…” Xiao Fanghua’s expression was full of pain.

Clearly, this was not a good place to give birth.

She had been fleeing all the way up and had spent a lot of spirit energy. She had also sucked in the poisonous gas from the Giant Stink Bugs just now. With her current condition, it would be difficult for her to smoothly give birth to twins.

“Are there any doctors or nurses among you?” Lu Siya asked.

Everyone looked at each other.

Since they came to attend the transmigration technology conference, they were naturally specialists related to the field, investors, or enthusiasts. They were not gynecologists.

Some of them had experience in performing emergency treatment in the battlefield, stitching wounds, and providing nursing care, but were they supposed to perform a C-section here?

When Lu Siya saw the troubled looks on their faces, she turned her head to look at Meng Chao.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“I was just thinking, aren’t you a harvester?” Lu Siya asked. “Since you can bring out cysts filled with acid that are as thin as cicada wings from deformed and mutated monsters without harming them in the slightest, C-section and what shouldn’t be a problem to you, right?”

Meng Chao thought about it carefully. Her words made some sense.

The human physiological structure seemed like the fusion of plenty of ecdysozoa monsters and mammal-type monsters. No one had any idea how they evolved to their state, but compared to the messed up structures of the Nightmarish Beasts, theirs was still relatively simple.

Human babies were also sturdier than the cysts that would rot away at rapid speeds.

Even if the babies would be born one month ahead of the due date, the problem was still not great.

But…

Meng Chao quickly looked around him.

They were surrounded by mangled carcasses all over the place. There was also colorful and suspicious-looking sticky liquid all around them.

The air was filled with the poisonous gas released by Giant Stink Bugs, which had a certain percentage of chance to cause cancer and interfere with the genes passed down by the parents to the children.

If he delivered the children here by performing a C-section, the mother and babies might get infected by viruses and turn into zombies.

Fortunately, Xiao Fanghua had just experienced symptoms of miscarriage, but her water had not broken.

Since she was a broken-star superhuman who cultivated her branch meridians, her physical constitution was much better than that of normal women.

Meng Chao assessed her situation and knelt on one knee before he brought a pack of harvesting tools.

“Don’t worry. They’re all new,” he explained to Xiao Fanghua.

If he used tools that had harvested monsters before to treat Xiao Fanghua, then even if he disinfected all of them thoroughly, it would still feel disgusting.

“Do you really know how to perform C-section?” Lu Siya was slightly stunned.

Xiao Fanghua also became nervous.

“We’re not there yet, so I’m just going to help stabilize the babies for you, Big Sis Xiao. We’ll make it so that you can last until you make it outside.” As Meng Chao spoke, he brought out more than ten long and thin silver needles from his tool bag.

“When it comes to harvesting, helping monsters stabilize their babies and delivering their babies is also an important skill. Many monsters can be tamed and turn into the best helpers for monster controllers. If they’re trained from the moment they’ve been born, they’ll naturally be easier to tame.

“And if the monsters captured by humans are pregnant, they are usually very agitated and brutal. If you’re careless, it’s far too easy to stimulate the babies, which might make them slide out or die.

“To make sure that the monsters during pregnancy work with humans, many veteran harvesters have the skill to stabilize the babies, so you don’t have to worry.”

It was a half truth.

It was a fact that many veteran harvesters would master the skill to stabilize the babies, protect them, deliver them, and even perform C-sections for them.

But that was the future.

These skills would only gain popularity after the Monster War, when humans had completely defeated the monsters and more of them would be domesticated as well as go through artificial breeding.

At the moment, most of the wild monsters, especially pregnant ones, would not allow themselves to be captured by humans.

Even if they were captured, they would not work with humans. They would rather commit suicide than be domesticated.

Meng Chao recalled the techniques from his previous life. After a while, he moved like lightning, and silver needles went into where Xiao Fanghua’s spirit meridians were connected.

Meng Chao had practiced the Ultimate Style for more than one year, so he understood the 1,024 branch meridians like the back of his hand.

He had also given Xiao Fanghua detailed pointers before. After she got pregnant, he had also asked his tutor, Gu Jianbo, to come up with a new cultivation plan for her.

Hence, he was also highly familiar with the distribution of Xiao Fanghua’s spirit meridians and where they connected to each other.

Based on the theories of traditional medicine on Earth, the connected spirit meridians he chose were conception vessel 12, stomach 36, urinary bladder 20, pericardium 6, large intestine 11, liver 3, urinary bladder 17, kidney 3, kidney 7, and other acupuncture points. [1]

Since there was plenty of spirit energy in the Other World, the humans’ vitality magnetic field and the planet’s magnetic field could create powerful oscillations. Then, the spirit energy from the planet could enter the depths of the acupuncture points through the silver needles and stimulate the connected parts of the spirit meridians. Thus, the healing effects were even clearer than on Earth.

Almost at the same time the silver needles entered the spirit meridians, Xiao Fanghua’s pained expression relaxed a little.

Meng Chao then poured his spirit energy into his fingers, and spirit tattoos bloomed on his palm. They wrapped around his joints, causing his fingers to be so soft that they looked like they were boneless. He could bend them to unbelievable angles and make all sorts of difficult gestures.

He helped Xiao Fanghua massage her conception vessel 4, conception vessel 13, conception vessel 10, liver 13, governor vessel 20, and other acupuncture points.

When some color returned to Xiao Fanghua’s pale face, Meng Chao retrieved the silver needles.

Lu Siya placed her hand on Xiao Fanghua’s belly again and said in shock, “The two new vitality magnetic fields have stabilized again!”

Meng Chao nodded and smiled. “Big Sis Xiao, can you walk?”

Xiao Fanghua stood up and took two steps forward. Happiness and gratitude was evident on her face.

The group looked at Meng Chao in shock. Helping monsters stabilize their babies was something they had never heard of before, and using that skill on a human was even more amazing.

“Fortunately, you never forgot to practice the Ultimate Style while you were pregnant. The spirit energy in your branch meridians flowed to your babies, so they and you are both very strong. You will definitely be able to get through this,” Meng Chao said sincerely, and it sounded as if a major burden had been removed from his shoulders.

Kindling burned at the corner of his eyes, and a large amount of contribution points popped up. It far surpassed the number he usually got for saving people.

‘Looks like my guess was correct,’ Meng Chao thought. The Zhao Feixuan from his previous life had turned into a lost person because something had happened to his family.

Perhaps it was because the wife and children he loved dearly had died tragically in the clash between monsters and superhumans, and after he was bewitched by the abnormal beasts and his mind was controlled, he ended up like Lin Chuan and Gao Ye and walked into the dark abyss.

If Meng Chao had not done anything today, even if Zhao Feixuan managed to survive, all he would be able to see would be his wife and two unborn children’s mangled corpses.

This tragedy could break even a tough man’s final mental defense, which would turn him into a living corpse with a dead heart. He would become a puppet that could be manipulated by anyone.

Families had always been the sturdiest armor for men.

Now, Zhao Feixuan’s fate should change, and he would not end up as a lost person, right?

Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to survive.

Once Meng Chao thought of this, he said, “Big Sis Ya, take Big Sis Xiao and the others out of here. Go back through the way we opened. It should be safe outside.”

There were two major goals for the operation today.

The first was to save Xiao Fanghua and prevent Zhao Feixuan from becoming a lost person.

The second was to protect the specialists of Project 101, especially major players like Professor Lu Tianxing.

Now, one of the goals was already completed.

Meng Chao now had to go higher to search for Zhao Feixuan and Lu Tianxing.

But there was no need for him to drag Lu Siya into the mess.

Honestly speaking, she had spent all of her spirit energy when she sealed the underwater tunnel. She was already a great friend for coming here to fight with him.

Since the enemies had been plotting their attack for such a long time, it was impossible for them to send only normal monsters that could be killed by rifle grenades to kill the members of Project 101.

Meng Chao could vaguely feel cold and powerful presences in the floors above him.

There were at least a few Hell Beasts moving around upstairs.

There was also Supernatural Entity Gao Ye lurking in the dark, and he could open his mouth at any time to eat everything! … No, he should call him Earthquake now!

Then, there was the even more mysterious mastermind who used its brainwaves to control all the monsters.

Lu Siya nodded and led Xiao Fanghua and the others quickly through the hole Meng Chao had created.

Meng Chao extracted the largest and sharpest Golden Scythe mandible from the insect carcasses, then harvested the venomous spikes from five scorpion-type monsters to use them as daggers. He placed them by his waist and into his boots.

Just when he was about to continue forward, he heard footsteps behind him. Lu Siya came back.

When Meng Chao looked at her with a surprised expression, she grinned. “What? Afraid I’ll steal your limelight? Thinking about taking all the contributions yourself?”

Meng Chao’s mouth hung open. He was stunned for a while before he said, “Aren’t you really confident in me?”

“I told you, I’m staking everything I have on you. There’s no way to back out halfway through now,” Lu Siya said. “Besides, you managed to reduce the monsters to a pulp with a vehicle-mounted heavy grenade launcher, then stabilize a pregnant lady’s babies. It wouldn’t be strange if a person like you managed to create a miracle, right?”
