The Ultimate Evolution - Chapter 878

Chapter 878: Pneumonia, get!

Seeing the respectful attitude of the boss of his boss towards this woman, the doctor didn't dare to offend her in the slightest . He immediately replied .

"The patient had a very weird body constitution . He seems to have no immunity towards diseases at all . As soon as the bacteria enters his body, it spread rapidly . In my 37 years of practice this is the fastest I've ever seen a pneumonia spread . If it wasn't for the result of tests showing that everything else is normal with him, I would actually suspect that he's a late-stage AIDS patient . "

Zi contemplated for a moment before asking .

"If that's the case . . . . is his life in danger?"

The doctor hesitated, but still answered firmly .

"It is! What we're doing now is to delay the deterioration of his illness as much as possible . Please note that we're merely delaying it, there is no sign showing that he's getting any better . If this continues, just like a person who is about to fall into the abyss, there will always be a time when he breaks through that critical line . The good news is that he is still some distance away from that irreversible tipping point . "

Sheyan was drenched in sweat . He felt as if there were more than a dozen rakes going over his chest, and the violent coughing fits even made him vomit . Then, the nightmare imprint sent him some notifications:

[The A-virus has detected the invasion of pneumococcus into the host's body]

[The A-virus has activated the phagocytosis, replication, and improvement mode]

[Because the phagocytosis, replication, and improvement were all done on the digitized body of the contestant, during these processes, the pneumococcus in your body will be somewhat strengthened . The symptoms on your body will be more severe . ]

[The A-virus has injected a catalytic code into the pneumococcus . The host's symptoms are expected to reach their climax in an estimated time of 30 minutes . That will be the most critical period for the host, and also the most life-threatening period . The period will last for 800 minutes . . . . ]

[Data disorder . Data error . Recalculating . ]

[Your 'Stronghold' innate ability is triggered . All abnormal statuses on you are weakened by 25% . ]

[The climax period of your symptoms will last for 600 minutes . Your life may be threatened during this stage . Please make the relevant emergency preparations . ]

[ . . . . . ]

In the next six hundred minutes, Sheyan did not make any noise . He displayed an amazing willpower . But because gripped with too much strength, he tore a total seven bedsheets and blankets . Zi didn't take a rest either . She silently kept him company .

During this period, both Mogensha and Reef returned to the real world and gave Sheyan a call . When they heard Zi answering his phone, even the honest Reef showed a tawdry expression . . . . Despite his condition, Sheyan clenched his teeth and personally answered the phone . He was definitely not born with such strong willpower; it was the training from the life-and-death experiences in the nightmare realm!

Finally, Sheyan's torture ended . A soon as the replication of the A-virus was completed, his strong digitized body swept clean the disease that was running amok in his body . Sheyan sat up on the bed and exhaled a long breath . His whole body felt extremely light!

[A-virus replication has been successful!]

[You have successfully activated the rank 3 branch ability: 'Common pneumonia'!]

[Rank 3 branch disease : 'Common pneumonia' lvl 2 (+1 bonus from the Twilight Elf's Illumination)]

[This ability will only be effective on enemies who were infected with the bronchitis disease . The area of effect is equivalent to the rank 1 ability - 'Influenza' . ]

[When enemies who already have bronchitis are infected by pneumonia, the infection period is 40 seconds . ]

[Effect: Significantly strengthen all symptoms . ]

[Sneezing effect evolved into intermittent chest pain: There is a certain chance of the enemy experiencing extreme chest pain for 3 seconds . During this period, the enemy's movement speed will drop by 80% . They will be unable to attack and will sustain 50 points of damage . ]

[Shivering effect evolved into high fever: The enemy will sustain a high fever . Their MP consumption will double . ]

[Headache effect evolved into hallucination: There is a chance of the enemy suffering a hallucination . The next attack will miss . ]

['Violent Coughing' has been strengthened: During the period of violent coughing, the enemy will be rendered immobile; incapable of attacking or casting abilities for 3 seconds (up from 2 seconds) . Every time the enemy experiences 'Violent Coughing', it induces a 50-point blood loss damage over 3 seconds (originally 150-point blood loss damage over 15s after 3 times of 'Violent Coughing') . ]

[New effect of 'Violent Coughing': When the enemy is suffering from 'Violent Coughing', there is a certain chance of spitting out sticky phlegm . The foul-smelling sticky phlegm contains a huge amount of bacteria . It will instantly cause 100 points of damage to the surrounding enemies and lower their evasion by 3% . ]

[This branch ability can exist simultaneously with some other disease-type branch abilities . ]

[Please make haste to invest achievement points to strengthen this branch ability in order to unlock subsequent higher tiers in the innate skill tree!]

Sheyan was currently accumulating achievement points to promote himself to Lieutenant Colonel . He was quite satisfied with the abilities of 'Pneumonia', so he did not spend his achievement points to strengthen it . He could already predict that the next tier in the talent tree should be the ultimate ability - 'Atypical pneumonia'! When the 'Atypical pneumonia' emerged, it would definitely cause major changes to the previous abilities . To be honest, Sheyan really looked forward to this ability .

All the doctors were stunned . Five minutes ago, Sheyan was still struggling for his life, and yet he's now leaping down from his bed agilely and nonchalantly putting on his clothes .

The nurse nearest to Sheyan stopped him out of her professional attitude and stammered in shock .

"Sir, considering your wellbeing . . . . "

Sheyan politely but resolutely pushed away her hand and smiled at her .

"I'm fine now, thank you . "

The nurse could only look at the attending doctor with a pleading gaze . Sheyan seemed to know what they were thinking, and told them .

"I'll never be your guinea pig so you guys can just forget about that idea . Zi, I need you to take me to a nice meal . Then we can sit down and discuss about the board meeting next Monday . "

Zi, who had her arms crossed in front of her chest, asked hesitantly .

"The board meeting . . . . do you have any good ideas?"

Sheyan grabbed a pack of biscuits lying at the side and gulped the biscuits down in large mouthfuls while he walked with Zi to her car . Only after she started the engine did he say .

"I don't believe for a second that you don't know about the idea I have in mind . You're just unwilling to do it . "

Zi merely stared at Sheyan without saying anything .

Sheyan persuaded .

"I know why you're hesitating, but you're used to being in power . Can you really live a carefree life?"

This sentence spoke deep into Zi's heart . She looked up at Sheyan .

"You mean… . "

Senyan smiled and swallowed the last bit of biscuits .

"I really people who steal my car and force me to take a taxi . What's the name of that bald director? I suggest we pay him a visit . "

"Sir Balagan," said Zi emotionlessly . "He's won't be easy to handle . More importantly, he's a very careful person . I could even feel the presence of someone similar to us among his bodyguards . "

"I'll need his address . Um . . . do you think we should call Mogensha over?" asked Sheyan . Then, he smiled at Zi and said, "Actually, I feel like I can take on the world with just you by my side . Just like the time we went against the Skull Party and Glory Party . "

Zi could feel an indescribable emotion in his voice . She blushed and turned her head to the side in silence . After a while, she slowly said .

"We should go eat first . "

Sheyan was always swift and decisive when he acted . After stuffing himself, he called Reef to asked him to come over . The palace Reef stayed in was only 2 hours away from London by train . During their conversation, Reef lowered his voice and reminded Sheyan .

"Boss, do you like Melody more or Zi more? Sometimes, you have to make a choice . "

Sheyan had contemplated this matter for a long time . He simply said .

"I won't let either of them go . At most, I'll get dual-citizenship and join the UAE where it's legal to have four wives . "

Reef: " . . . but will they be happy with this?"

Sheyan said disdainfully .

"How would you know that they won't be happy? Ancient China practiced polygamy and yet we didn't see the collapse of society or women suffering all the time . The civilization stood for 5,000 years . Even after the implementation of the monogamy system, there are still many women who choose to be mistresses . "

Reef was dumbfounded by Sheyan's answer . He could only shake his head and sigh .

The board meeting of the E . S . financial group scheduled for Monday did not take place after all .

That's because 2 important members of the board were absent . They may very well remain absent forever .

Sir Balagan, who held 11 . 7% of the shares, had caught a severe case of pneumonia and was currently being treated in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital . The best case scenario estimated by the doctors was for him to live until the end of this winter . No one seemed to have asked what the worst case scenario was, but the news still spread .

Mr . Leo, who held 8 . 3% of the shares, met with a serious accident . He would spend a long time in the ICU .

Even if the meeting was held, without the two core members of the opposition faction, the other directors weren't Zi's match . There was no longer any point to the board meeting .
