Simply put, regardless of whether they're called females or women.
Ultimately, it seems their value always ties back to childbirth.
Compared to the previous world where technology was backward but relatively free.
In this world, women are seemingly treated as mere birthing tools.
After having one child, they must continue to be pregnant until they can no longer bear children.
"System."
Selene Kane whispered as she carefully hid in the bathroom corner.
"I want to use my authority right now."
"No."
The system calmly replied.
After a brief pause, it added, "Host, please don't prematurely deplete future resources or conditions."
Selene Kane sneered, her eyes cold, then clenched her fist and heavily punched her own swollen abdomen.
"Do you think I'm willing to wait until after the birth to negotiate terms?"
She coldly squinted her eyes, questioning sharply.
"Either you fulfill the reward now, or... I'll let it flow away now."
Her voice turned chilling as she growled, "I'll die with him."
Caleb Shaw opened his eyes wide, his expression indifferent.
He had long stopped holding any hope.
Because after so many disillusionments before, how could this time...
It's simply absurd.
Yet the system was still incessantly persuading.
But Selene Kane was completely deaf to any explanation.
She frowned in annoyance, swinging her arm to attack her belly once more.
"I agree! I really agree, is that enough?"
The system finally yielded, shouting back anxiously.
Then it urgently asked, "Then hurry up and say it! What do you want to do?"
Selene Kane's gaze was focused.
"I want to go back twenty years and bring the cure for amniotic fluid embolism to this world."
The system immediately rejected this proposal without hesitation.
"That's impossible! The host's task must not interfere with the overall direction of historical progress, you can only go to the time point originally destined for you."
"Moreover, you absolutely cannot use your own body to carry out the task again."
It supplemented.
"Because your original body was already completely destroyed in a disaster. Therefore, you must possess someone else and use that person's identity to complete this special mission."
Despite the persistent regret in her heart, knowing she was powerless to save her mother's life at the time.
But thinking of being able to save countless people like her mother in the future.
Selene Kane gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Alright! I'm going!"
The system's voice followed swiftly.
"Connecting to the target person."
Detailed information appeared on the screen.
"Name: Rosalind Langdon."
"Gender: Female"
"Occupation: Doctor"
Accompanying text clearly outlined this mission's objective.
"This time the task is: to improve techniques for treating amniotic fluid embolism."
As a buzzing sound of electricity filled the air.
The entire world seemed to twist and tear, followed by a flash of intense light.
Selene Kane suddenly opened her eyes, finding herself in an extremely tense situation.
She was pushing a hospital bed forward urgently while running.
On the bed lay a pregnant woman in her late term, her face pallid and cyanotic.
Between her legs, a large amount of fresh blood continuously flowed, staining the mat beneath her.
Before everyone could steady their positions.
The moment the bed was pushed into the emergency room, a shout from the family came from the doorway.
"Doctor! My wife has that amniotic something, right? Can she make it through?"
The husband in a gray-blue coat spoke with a trembling voice.
He wasn't from the medical field and didn't understand many professional terms.
But he knew among all pregnancy complications, amniotic fluid embolism was highly fatal.
"Don't worry, we're doing everything to save her!"
Selene Kane calmly replied.
She swiftly entered emergency mode, quickly swapping to the identity of Doctor Rosalind Langdon.
At this moment, the man's emotions reached an extreme, he pleaded with the doctor, constantly assuring.
"Please, you must save my wife... No matter the cost, I'll agree!"
His hands tightly gripped the corner of his clothes.
Selene Kane shook her head without lifting her gaze.
In such a critical moment, the real shortage wasn't money but blood!
Just as she was about to take the next step, a nurse's voice suddenly came to her ear.
"Doctor! Another one is coming!"
Looking towards the sound, she saw a young nurse with another hospital bed walked in.
A medical staff assisting in transportation followed behind.
"She's been transferred from the second hospital, her condition unstable, our preliminary diagnosis also indicates amniotic fluid embolism!"
The young nurse beside her stood stunned by the news.
It's extremely rare to simultaneously have two suspected cases of amniotic fluid embolism.
The mortality rate is nearly one hundred percent.
How should they choose, who to save first?
How to save?
At this moment, Selene Kane absorbed the professional knowledge left by the host while integrating medical expertise from beyond Earth.
Her consciousness navigated like a ship in a vast ocean of knowledge, as complex fragments continuously intertwined.
A new comprehensive medical cognitive framework began forming in her mind.
Feeling the skills gradually integrate into her memory.
Supported by a steady supply of blood units sent over.
After three hours of tense battle, both pregnant women pulled through!
The lights in the operating room were glaring yet warm.
Medical staff had sweat all over their foreheads.
They couldn't believe it, that two patients nearly sentenced to "death" were truly brought back from the brink of disaster.
As soon as the surgery concluded, the nurse was still in a daze.
This was amniotic fluid embolism with a fatality rate of ninety-nine percent!
Did Dr. Langdon really save both of them?
Just as she let out a breath, not realizing yet.
Her entire body collapsed onto the bathroom floor.
Fatigue crashed over her like tidal waves, pressing her down, unable to stand, her fingers losing strength to lift.
She slowly leaned back against the cold ground, her breath coming out trembling slightly.
Her body was too tired, she softly asked, "Can I see what happens later?"
She wanted to know what her identity as Rosalind Langdon went through next.
System replied, "Sure."
With these words, a brand-new image appeared before her.
Subsequent scenes showed Rosalind Langdon opening her eyes staring at the blood stains on her hands.
Her fingers trembled slightly, filled with confusion.
The sensations, smells, and even the sound of surgical tools clinking on the table felt incredibly real in memory.
Yet inexplicably, she couldn't recall what she had just done.
Until her surrounding colleagues gathered excitedly cheering her, pulling her back to reality.
They loudly praised her, pounding her shoulders excitedly.
"You saved two lives!"
"Amazing Dr. Langdon!"
A nurse tearfully exclaimed with a smile, others echoed enthusiastically.
