Ethan was sitting on the uncomfortable seat of the short-distance spaceship, and he had to adjust his sitting posture every once in a while to relieve a certain part that was still a little swollen. The distant Milky Way stars outside the spaceship window are like silver powder scattered in the sky. Even though their speed has exceeded the speed of light under the propulsion of the de-priming engine, those distant stars still seem to remain motionless.
Ethan was in a good mood, although Grayfur was rude to him, and when he let him get on the spaceship, he just walked a few steps slower and wanted to look back at Tanisel, who was kicked from behind. None of this could affect his good mood. He gently touched the still aching tooth mark on his neck, and suddenly put his fears about the future out of the sky.
However, he thought of such an old song: all goods things come to an end (all good things will die out), so in this joy there is a touch of melancholy worry. He remembered that he had been so happy after establishing a relationship with Roland, how would he know what kind of fate awaited him at that time
As soon as the spacecraft landed on Earth, Ethan was immediately taken over by two robotic policemen, who were then stuffed into a closed medium-sized aircraft. As soon as he was pushed into the cabin, he saw Jarvan and several other inhumans who had participated in missions on Neptune before. A pair of eyes looked at him, and his good mood suddenly diminished a lot. He sat down in the seat closest to the cabin door without saying a word, and buckled his seat belt.
They were sent directly to the Earth defense base on the moon. A group of people lined up and were driven into a small auditorium that was heavily guarded, where they waited for more than an hour.
No one told them what to bring them here, and most of them were guarded by robocops. Ethan deliberately kept a distance from the other inhumans, pulling up his collar to cover the bite marks on his neck.
Adam looked at him once with some kind of cold eyes, and then there was no eye contact anymore, and the other non-humans tried to pretend that he didn't exist, only Jarvan walked over to where he was sitting, and banged the man sitting next to him. Location.
"I heard that you were taken away by that alien priest again?"
Ethan rolled his eyes, too lazy to answer.
"Listen, I was on Neptune before... ahem, I'm a little too calm." Jarvan said, pinching his nose, his face that was always calm and arrogant was slightly embarrassed.
Ethan felt a little interesting when he looked at him like this, "Are you apologizing to me?"
Jarvan glared at him, but Ethan didn't look scary at all at this moment. The secretary laughed lowly, as if seeing the new continent, "This is really strange."
"Hey Omega, don't push your nose on your face." The other party said in a threatening voice.
Ethan didn't speak anymore, but the smile in the corner of his eyes still made Jiawen angry. He said angrily, "That kid Josamus seems to have taken a fancy to a new Omega recently, let's see how much you can be proud of."
Ethan was stunned, slightly surprised, "What?"
"Your Samuel has smelled of other Omegas lately, apparently abandoning you to find someone else."
Ethan's phenotype changed slightly, and Samuel's body smelled of Omega... Could it be that he was going to be in heat
Mistaking Ethan's worries for panic, Jarvan deliberately said in a smug tone of contempt, "You think there's really an Alpha in the Forbidden City who's devoted to you? Especially since you're still not involved with that priest?" He got up and left, and went to his circle of people. A few other glances that looked like a joke also followed, and it was obvious that they had heard the rumors.
Only Ethan was secretly anxious, secretly scolding that idiot for what dangerous thing he did
After a long time, a few people in neat suits and two high-ranking officers finally appeared. Ethan saw the middle-aged blond man in the beige suit at a glance. That was Stanley Dixon, the former deputy director of the Energy Agency.
Ethan and Stanley could be considered acquaintances, but he never liked this man very much. Although he looks friendly and approachable, and treats people with perfection, Ethan always feels that this person is unfathomable and incomprehensible. Compared with him, he is more willing to work for the director. Although the gray-haired director is strict and rigid, and even a little unkind, he is at least a reliable leader and has clear guidelines for his work.
Stanley saw Ethan sitting alone on the other side of the auditorium at a glance, and nodded to him with a smile. Ethan couldn't help sitting up straight, and immediately noticed the eyes floating from the inhuman on the other side.
"All inhumans stand up!" a guard shouted from the side. The non-people had to get up one after another and stood staggered.
A middle-aged man in his 40s wearing a major general's epaulette said in a cold and dispassionate voice, "You can choose a representative to answer, and raise your hand to speak if you need to add."
The non-humans looked at Jarvan almost in unison, but Jarvan pointed at Ethan, "He's your man, you can ask him."
Those brightly dressed officials and officers were suddenly compared with an inhuman, and they all showed a displeased look. Ethan also felt very embarrassed, and gave Jarvan a stern look.
Stanley explained to the crowd, "He really used to be from our Energy Agency. His name was Ethan Eldridge."
"Okay. Eldridge, in your previous report, you mentioned that you thought you were about to be swallowed by the second universe, and it was the priest of Tanethel of Eve who was on the phone with you, and Order someone to pull the space station back in time?"
"I said so."
"Please describe the situation in more detail. How close did you mean 'nearly'?"
Ethan was naturally reluctant to recall that desperate moment, but was ordered to say, "I remember opening my eyes and seeing that one corner of the room was infected, and the whole room was thinking about that corner tilting. , as if being stretched."
"The ground under your feet is also stretched?"
Ethan thought about it carefully, "It seems like, I can't be 100% sure."
Another official whispered, "This shows that the second law of the universe has completely broken the barrier and spread to almost the entire space station. Pulling it back at this time is equivalent to forcibly pulling something belonging to the second universe. Back, it is very likely that a gap in time and space will be created, resulting in the mutual fusion and infection of different time and space universes."
"Just why aren't the laws of our universe anti-infection?" another asked.
The former researcher shook his head, "This is also what I don't understand. It is very likely... that the laws of the second universe are stronger than ours... "
The major general looked around again with cold eyes, "Did any of you have any abnormality after that?"
The crowd was silent. Ethan swallowed secretly.
"Don't talk? It doesn't matter, I will take you for a medical examination later."
As soon as he heard the word "medical examination", Ethan panicked. Although his expression was well controlled, his palms were already sweating.
It must not be known that there is something wrong with his blood...
However, at this time, I suddenly saw Adam raising his left hand tremblingly, "That... I sometimes feel a little weird about me."
All eyes immediately focused on the poor Omega. The major general asked, "Strange? Where is it?"
"My skin... sometimes sticks to other things..." Adam said, taking out his right hand that he had been hiding from his pocket, and everyone immediately took a deep breath.
It was no longer a hand, and a thin flesh-colored film spread from the wrist, and a small plastic water cup was vaguely wrapped in it.
*********
Ethan and the others were not really examined thoroughly, but only roughly scanned the circle with the scanner, because obviously everyone's attention was focused on Adam who had obvious mutation. Except for Adam, who was quarantined and observed, the other non-humans were immediately sent back to the Forbidden City and landed on the familiar yellow sand clearing before nightfall.
Ethan dragged his exhausted body back to his apartment, and as soon as the door opened, a distinct smell of Omega hormones wafted in his face. His first reaction was: it's over, Samuel is in heat.
However, when he found that there was no one in the room, he panicked even more. He rushed out the door, but he didn't dare to shout in the corridor, so he had to look around for the toilet on the floor. However, I searched the whole building and found nothing. While he was wandering on the first floor, a faint scent caught his sensitive nose. He turned his attention to the basement entrance, which had been locked with crude traditional padlocks, hidden behind the stairs and a large assortment of rotten furniture.
Ethan approached the rusted door that seemed to have been closed for at least a hundred years, only to find that the rust on the lock was obviously less than other places, and it was very clean, as if it had been touched not long ago.
Ethan picked up the lock and tugged it hard, but found it wouldn't work. He gritted his teeth and pulled the lock ring again, and to his surprise, it opened like that.
It seems that this lock is actually just a decoration, but no one thought of moving it and it has been hanging here for so long. If it weren't for Ethan's nose, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, he would not be idle to study this dead door hidden behind the stairs.
The rusted door was indeed pushed open recently, and it was easily opened. The musky smell of Omega was even more pronounced as soon as I entered, but this smell... It seems a little different from the smell of Samuel that Ethan smelled last time
Behind the door is a dark passageway, only a faint light shines under a door at the end. Ethan groped and walked over, gently pushing the door open.
He was stunned.
He has imagined all kinds of possibilities, but there is absolutely no such one in front of him.
He did see Samuel, but there was one other person besides Samuel.
The man was lying under Samuel.
That person... is the chief of the guard? !
The author has something to say:
I may have to drive a long-distance car for a short vacation tomorrow, so I may stop for another day. I hope you can be gentle when you hit me... (～￣▽￣)～
