"That's... what's that..." Ethan didn't realize that his voice was much weaker than before. A gloomy cold ran up the back from the heels.
For some unknown reason, the video he just saw made him feel desperate and terrifying as if he was leaning over and peeping in the abyss.
Taniser retracted the Ball of Breath and put it between his fingers, "You feel it too, the trembling of seeing extreme evil and chaos. You are only human, and what we Eves perceive is yours. Several times, when I first saw this video, many priests were so frightened that they lost sleep for a month. We have never seen such pure terror before.”
"You guys don't know what it is?" Ethan felt the muscles in his chest tighten, so that his breath was a little short, "So you're going to use inhumans for experiments?"
"Don't count us Eves into 'you', this is the decision of the Earth Alliance." Tanisel's understated tone made Ethan even more frightened and angry. Through the lens, his fiery eyes stared at the priest's ice-carved jade face, his cheeks flushed red, his fists clenched tightly, and his taller body trembled slightly compared to other Betas. In the eyes of the priest, it is a bit like a rabbit who is about to be rushed.
Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry. I wonder what this gentle man will look like when he bites someone? Tanissell thought with interest.
But after a while, the man who seemed to be on the verge of panic and collapse in front of him gradually relaxed his body and loosened his fists little by little. Ethan took a step back, took a deep breath, and regained his calm when he looked up at the priest again.
Or pretend to be calm.
"You took the initiative to court us and tell me these secrets. It seems that you don't want us, at least don't want Samuel to die? What do you want us to do?" Ethan asked.
Tanisel rolled his eyes and smiled brightly, "I do have a guess. If you are willing to cooperate and try, you might be able to survive."

It was the end of the day when Samuel woke up. It was dark all around, and the sweet and greasy smell that originated from himself had not dissipated, and he smelled a kind of nausea. A heavy dull pain kept hitting one side of his temple, making him wish he could stay in the drowsy he had been before.
Ethan fell asleep leaning against the box on the other side of the cramped space, his whole body curled up and his glasses tilted to one side. There were two obvious bruises under his eyes, and he was exhausted from taking care of him for more than two days. Samuel sat up, groped for a bottle of water in the dark and drank it cleanly. He vaguely remembers seeing a blond-haired Eve whose enticing Alpha scent still haunts his mind.
It was a completely different scent from the Forbidden City and other Alphas on Earth, not as aggressive, but still full of power and authority.
He checked his whole body to make sure he wasn't related to that Alpha. In that state, he didn't take the initiative to give him a hug. It was a miracle that the strong Omega aroma he had accumulated for three years did not cause the Alpha to lose his mind.
Just... why is that Eve here? When he discovered his identity, he didn't know what would happen.
He looked at Ethan thoughtfully, was he the one who brought the Eve? What is this kid doing
Probably hearing his sound, Ethan opened his eyes too. Seeing Samuel's calm eyes restored, and the smell that was gradually dissipating, he finally sighed and slumped back, "Ancestor, you are finally normal. Even my mother's menopause was not as difficult as you were. engage in…”
Samuel was very dissatisfied with this analogy, not to mention the Alpha who had popped up inexplicably before, so he leaned in front of Ethan, so close that the latter tilted his neck back slightly uncomfortably. Samuel's voice was hoarse and sounded with a strong deterrent force, "Did you find the Eve Alpha before?"
Ethan swallowed and said hesitantly, "Yes..." and then immediately explained, "But don't worry, he won't leak your story!"
"Really? You know him very well?" The tone became more dangerous, and the tip of their noses almost touched. Ethan shook his head hastily, "Unfamiliar! Unfamiliar! I just met him!"
"How dare you believe him if you don't know him well?! Maybe all the inhumans on the ship now know that there is an Omega on board this time!"
This reproachful tone made Ethan uncomfortable. He thought that I would take care of you day and night, but then wake up and make a fortune. Do you have any conscience? He closed his eyes and yelled, "Otherwise, what am I going to do! At that time, there was an inhuman who smelled you on me and almost marked me as an Omega. If he hadn't saved me, I'd probably have I can't come back! Besides, other people's dignified priests, do you have to mess up the boat for you, a non-human person? They are kind and kind to help you, can you not suffer from paranoia all day long!" The small medicine bottle was stuffed into Samuel's hand, and he said angrily, "They even brought you medicines to treat side effects, whether you like them or not."
Samuel had never heard his secretary speak so loudly before, and he was astonished that he didn't find the words to reply for a few seconds.
Ethan turned around and started tidying up the sleeping bags scattered on the ground, "If it's me who's scared, that bearded man will definitely tell the world that I'm an Omega when he goes back. What should I do if someone sexually harass me?"
Samue silently looked at Beta who was busy working while muttering, and his always domineering heart actually felt a little apologetic.
It seems that this time, the secretary's face is really tired.
He then cleared his throat and pursed his lips, "That... If you're really worried, it doesn't matter if you tell the truth. I have the ability to protect myself."
"Protect your uncle. I've worked so hard to hide your identity for you. Isn't it all in vain to say it now?" Ethan took a deep breath, turned to look at Samuel helplessly, and asked uncertainly, " Anyway, I insisted that you are my Alpha, and seeing that you have a good relationship with Otto's few people, no one should dare to touch me, right?"
Samuel reached out and grabbed his shoulder and squeezed hard, "Don't worry, no one dares to touch you with me."
Listening to his deep and determined tone, his eyes focused and serious, he really had the style of an Alpha swearing to protect his Omega. Ethan looked a little uncomfortable by him, lowered his head and pushed his glasses, and sighed, "I'll be thankful as long as you don't do this stupid thing again."

The two returned to the open space where the non-humans gathered while everyone was asleep. One or two non-humans who had not slept watched them come back, but didn't say much. Ethan had given Samuel all the food, and his stomach was aching. Samuel gave him the last remaining small piece of compressed bread, and whispered comfortingly, "Just be patient, I'll grab you some more food later."
Ethan chewed on dry bread, thinking about the charcoal-grilled steak, French snails, seafood pasta, chocolate lava cake... The last leftovers from the Greek restaurant near home three months ago The second half of the roast leg of lamb left without eating it. Now that I think about it, I really regret it. Why didn't I even eat the bones
After finally staying up until morning, the food-supplying robot came down. Samuel did not renege on his promise, and rushed towards the large boxes containing the food with murderous intent, and no one dared to stand in front of him along the way. Holding the full compressed food bag and squeezed it out, Otto smiled beside him, "I wondered where you went two days ago. It turned out that you were looking for a place to have fun with your new love?"
Samuel glanced at him. "What are you talking about."
"Stop pretending, Scott told us when he came back yesterday that your secretary is actually an Omega? Tsk tsk tsk, it's really like a Beta, I didn't even see it."
Samuel grabbed Otto by the collar suddenly, and the latter was sweating coldly with wolf-like eyes.
"I said, don't hit him."
Although Otto could be considered a prominent figure in the Forbidden City, he was also a member of Samuel's faction anyway. Everyone knew that they couldn't mess with Iron Fist Samuel, otherwise it was possible to be beaten to death. So at this moment Otto also quickly showed a weak smile, "Relax, man, I'm just joking, why are you so serious?"
Samuel also laughed suddenly, let go of Otto's hand, and thoughtfully helped him straighten the folds on his collar, "I'm also joking with you, why are you so serious?"
After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Otto was just half relieved when he heard Samuel ask lightly, "You just said that it was Scott who tried to mark Eldridge yesterday?"
Otto shrugged, "I don't know, he didn't know what he told us after he hurried back from somewhere."
Samuel finally walked away, and Otto exhaled, glancing sympathetically at Scott, who was sleeping soundly in the distance.
Ethan never knew that he could eat those packaged compressed foods to the point where the wind was blowing, and he almost choked once in the middle. Suddenly there was an extra bottle of water in front of him. Looking along the water bottle, he saw that Samuel was using a Looking at him with astonishing eyes, "Don't choke."
Only then did Ethan realize how bad he was eating, and his cheeks were a little hot. He took a few sips of the water bottle, and finally swallowed his mouthful.
"I thought you cultured people would be a little more refined when you eat." Samuel teased.
"I thought you Omegas would be gentler." Ethan sighed contentedly, leaning back on a machine that didn't know what to do with it. "We're two days away from entering the orbit of the red earth. That one helped us yesterday. Priest Eve told me something about that planet."
"Really?" Samuel was inexplicably upset when he remembered the alien, probably because an Alpha found out his real gender, which made him feel threatened. "He's really warmhearted."
"Listen, this is related to whether we can return to Earth alive." Ethan said sternly, "50 of us non-humans will be transported to the red earth, while the other humans and Eves will stay on the mother ship. , directing our search operations from a distance. But they don't expect us to find anything at all, they're actually just waiting for a... thing to show up."
Samuel frowned, not understanding what he meant.
"That thing seems to appear on the red earth once every three years, and every time the person on that planet disappears. The pioneering team and the search and rescue team sent before have lost contact like this. So this time they wanted to To send us to the red earth as bait, while they themselves stay in the safer space for remote observation."
"So what is it?"
"do not know… "
"do not know?!"
"You don't have to bring us here if you know it. But I know..." Ethan recalled the black lumps that covered the sky, and those flagella-like things that extended from the sky, making him feel a thick The disgust and panic, "I know it's definitely not a good thing."
