Chapter 269: Phantom’s True Face“This is a video sent by a missing researcher from Country Z that I spent a lot of effort contacting. The content of the video is very confidential. He risked his life to send it to us. He begged us to save them. Take a look at the video first.”

Mo Chi pressed the play button and a video began to play on the screen. The video was secretly taken with a phone, so the image was very blurry and kept shaking.

However, the voices of the people inside could be heard very clearly.

“How many pregnant women are there this month?”

“Twenty-three of the Fabrados are pregnant. K reported fourteen people. There should be more than ten on the ship.”

“Record the pregnancy and contact the extraction team to be prepared.”

“Understood.”

The video ended there. Qin Ran looked at Mo Chi in confusion. “They’re looking for a pregnant woman?”

“Yes.” Qin Ran nodded and frowned. “I don’t understand why either. However, that researcher revealed a little news. They seem to value the moment when pregnant women give birth very much. Every pregnant woman will give birth in a special laboratory. After giving birth, these pregnant women will be detained for a second conception.”

Second conception… Qin Ran’s expression was extremely ugly. It was a natural process for women to get pregnant, but these people seemed to treat women as captive animals. Who knew what methods they would use to make these women pregnant a second time!

She felt a chill run down her spine and her voice trembled. “These demons will die a horrible death!”

Qin Ran forced herself to calm down after her anger. She took a deep breath and started to quickly search for information online.

That group of people valued the moment when a pregnant woman gave birth very much. They had also kidnapped so many biologists. This very likely meant that they wanted to obtain a special biological element from the delivery process of a pregnant woman.

Qin Ran logged into a famous human body research forum on the dark web and entered keywords like “birth”, “pregnancy”, and “extraction”. After more than ten minutes of searching, she finally found it.

“Look.” Qin Ran pointed at a paragraph and slowly read it out. “When women are pregnant, they will secrete a substance that provides the development of the fetus. This hormone is very rare and difficult to obtain. It can only be extracted through special methods during childbirth.”

Through the conversation between the staff members in the video, it was very likely that Phantom’s goal was this hormone.

Qin Ran calmly analyzed, “This hormone is very precious. I’m guessing that they urgently need a large amount of this hormone for some kind of experiment, which is why they are so crazy to find pregnant women. The Fabrados are an ancient race that has developed backward and lives deep in the mountains. The Fabrados worship the maternal lineage and are highly enthusiastic about giving birth to lives. These conditions are simply a hotbed for Phantom’s experiment, so they should have already controlled the Fabrados and established a research base there.”

After Qin Ran finished speaking, her eyes lit up. “This video is very important. It at least tells us the current direction of Phantom and their base location.”

They finally saw Phantom’s true face.

Mo Chi nodded and was about to say something when Qin Ran slammed her fist on the table. “I’m going to the place where the Fabulados live.”

Mo Chi was shocked and immediately pressed her hand down. “No, it’s too dangerous!”

Qin Ran looked at Mo Chi calmly and firmly. “There’s no other way, Mo Chi. Whether it’s to avenge my parents or for those innocent women.” Qin Ran closed her eyes. “I must go.”

Mo Chi was silent for a long time. Finally, he let go of Qin Ran’s hand. “Alright.”

His voice shook with a heartbreaking tremor. Qin Ran knew how much he loved her and how much he didn’t want her to take the risk.

This man loved her more than himself.

But she had to do something more important.

A few weeks later, Qin Ran held the potion that Professor Wu had brought back from the national biological base and said to Mo Chi, “This is a progestogen potion. After taking it, it can temporarily show signs of pregnancy.” She put away the potion bottle. “I’ve already checked. Phantom has set up recruitment agencies in some countries along the Litton River. They mainly recruit young women aged 16 to 35 years old to work in the domestic management industry in developed countries. There are more subsidies for pregnant women. This agency attracts many young women.”

Qin Ran took a deep breath. Sixteen to thirty-five years old was the best age for a woman to get pregnant. Phantom actually used the excuse of working for the benefit of women to trick them into becoming fertility machines.

“I’ll sneak into the team when they’re screening the next batch.”
