After all, they had just fought a month ago, so Huo Xianfeng still recognized the logo of the First Legion very clearly. Since the main force of the First Legion appeared on Tiandong Star.
This means that Zhou Jiuya is here too.
—Why are you here
Huo Xianfeng frowned. He didn't think the other party came for him, but he couldn't think of any other reason for the moment. After all, with an entire army dispatched, it was very likely that they were going to go to war with Tiandongxing...
pull-
At this moment, Huo Xianfeng suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being grabbed and shook slightly.
"Brother Xiao Huo, are we going to fight?"
The little girl raised her head, her honey-colored eyes showing a hint of fear and uneasiness.
Although the empire looks peaceful now, it is not actually peaceful. In the past, the alliance collapsed and the empire was established. However, the new empire and the restored monarchy did not make everyone submit.
Therefore, in the past two or three hundred years, wars of all sizes have never stopped.
However, because Tiandong Star has secret conflicts of interest with various forces, it barely maintains superficial stability and peace, but this false peace is like standing in the eye of a typhoon.
Although it looks safe, if you are not careful you will be swept into the hurricane and shredded to pieces. Once Tiandong Star is attacked, the first to suffer are the poor people on the surface.
"Don't worry, it probably won't happen."
Huo Xianfeng touched Tang Cha's head.
He looked up at the gloomy sky. Although the main fleet of the First Legion was lurking in outer space, the other side had no intention of attacking.
After all, the underground city has existed for more than a year or two. If the imperial family wanted to bring it back under their jurisdiction, they would not have used such drastic measures to suppress it directly by force.
Therefore, they probably don't really want to start a war, but just want to serve as a deterrent or threat.
But, what big event happened on Tiandong Star that alarmed the imperial family and even sent an entire legion from afar to deter and threaten them
No, no, no, it may not be Tiandong Star, maybe somewhere else...
For example—
Earth.
As if he had thought of something, Huo Xianfeng's eyes turned serious: "You stay here, I'm going out for a while."
"Oh, okay..."
The little girl quietly watched the boy's back disappear quickly, and finally couldn't help shaking her head and muttering:
"Just now you said you wouldn't go with me. Tsk, my mom is right. You can't trust what alpha says..."
·
On the other side, Jiang Ci unfolded the small X into a semi-completed form, and quickly drove away from the garbage mountain area and arrived at the uninhabited area of the wasteland next to it.
Although the surface of Tiandong Star is piled with garbage, there is also a part of wasteland. Due to the frequent presence of quicksand, when various garbage is dumped, it will flow into the ground. Therefore, this place is a restricted area for dumping garbage.
Also, because there are no resources to be obtained, you may fall into quicksand, and this area is considered an uninhabited area.
Huo Xianfeng’s secret base was well chosen, right in between the dividing line between the two.
The desert was extremely windy and sandy, and all you could see was a blanket of yellow sand. Jiang Ci found a hidden corner of the Gobi Desert, deployed hidden equipment and signal projectors, first reported safety to Lao She, and then quickly contacted He Zhun.
At this moment, Xiao X acted as an optical brain, floating in the air, projecting blue light, and rapidly interweaving a three-dimensional human figure. If it weren't for only projecting a head, it would probably be so real that people would feel that He Zhun was right in front of them.
beep-
When Jiang Ci called, the other end picked up almost immediately, as if they had been waiting for his call. However, as soon as the call was connected, He Zhun was asked a barrage of questions by his friend.
"He Zhun, what's going on?!"
"Why would he come to Tiandong Star?! Did you tell him? Did you tell him the purpose of my coming here?"
"Why is the entire main force of the First Legion here? Why are they suddenly going to attack Tiandong Star?"
"… "
But Dr. He was used to it, so he shrugged:
"That's what I wanted to ask you, Major General. Didn't you say that the commander of the legion would stay on Earth during this period? And you also said that even if he didn't stay on Earth, he would be questioned by the royal family when he returned to the capital planet. At worst, the people from the church would pester him and make him unable to get away..."
Jiang Ci even had a quarrel with Zhou Jiuya before leaving, and every word he said hit the other person in the heart, so as expected, the uncle and nephew parted unhappily.
In situations like this before, it was common for the two of them not to speak to each other or see each other for half a year. What's more, Jiang Ci had calculated the time, and it would only take three weeks at most for him to come back.
but-
Ideals are always beautiful, but plans can never keep up with changes.
He Zhun sighed and explained:
"The day after you left, the legion commander was summoned back from Earth by His Majesty. I don't know what they talked about, but as soon as he left the palace, he went straight to the hospital to look for you."
Of course Jiang Ci was no longer in the hospital at that time, so as the major general's exclusive personal physician, He Zhun was caught red-handed by the corps commander almost immediately.
Doctor He simply couldn't bear to think back to the terrifying pressure from Zhou Jiuya that day. Even thinking back on it for a second now, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"What can I do in that situation?"
So He Zhun had to make up an excuse that he had prepared long ago, such as he advised Jiang Ci to go home and prepare for a blind date, and quickly find an alpha to marry, so that she would not have to suffer from the period of climax and inhibitors.
"I said I would not provide you with inhibitors, and then you went to Tiandong Star's underground black market to buy them out of anger."
This reason is 70% true and 30% false. It is the best way to fool people.
He Zhun carefully observed Jiang Ci's expression and whispered:
"Besides, it's not all bad for him to come and take you back. At most, it will be the same as before. You can come back and be punished, and let him scold you a few times, and that's it..."
He Zhun was indeed a bystander who saw things more clearly. After all, Zhou Jiuya and Jiang Ci were partly related by blood, and he had raised Jiang Ci for eight years, from the age of five to thirteen. Then for some unknown reason he suddenly stopped raising her. But even so, although the legion commander looked cold-blooded and heartless on the surface, he was actually very protective of his child.
"You mean... he made such a big fuss,"
Jiang Ci's face showed clear disbelief:
"—just to take me back?"
“… Maybe, but not entirely.”
He Zhun shook his head, his expression becoming serious.
"I heard that the First Legion had already begun to gather its troops before the legion commander came to the hospital. It should be the order of His Majesty, but why they had to go to Tiandong Star... That is a military secret, so I don't know."
—Then it's not for him.
Jiang Ci was startled, then lowered her eyes.
"Well... that's right."
He murmured twice,
"That's right."
"Huh… "
At this time, He Zhun stared at Jiang Ci for a few seconds and suddenly asked,
"Whose clothes are you wearing? They don't look like they fit you well. They're not yours, are they?"
"… "
After all, they grew up together, and He Zhun knew Jiang Ci's picky nature. This guy would never wear other people's clothes, even if they were new. Even the cheongsam that he wore to the auction was prepared in advance when he made the plan.
Jiang Ci remained calm: "… I bought it on the spur of the moment, and bought a size larger specifically to make it easier to disguise."
"Oh, that's how it is… "
However, immediately afterwards, Dr. He's face suddenly enlarged in the projection, as if it was about to pass through and stick to the omega's pretty face.
Even though they were good friends who grew up together, Jiang Ci couldn't stand this overly burning gaze. Even though he knew it was just the other person's projection, he couldn't help but take a step back and frowned.
"what you do?!"
Amid the interweaving of blue light, a look of doubt suddenly appeared on He Zhun's projected face.
"You... seem to be in good health recently? Your face looks rosy and you seem to be in good spirits."
Even what he held back and didn't say—
Her eyes are bright and soft, her skin is shiny and rosy, and even every strand of hair looks like it has just undergone some high-end essential oil treatment. In short, she is like a gorgeous rose that has been watered and is reborn.
The more He Zhun observed him, the more he was amazed:
"Rare, really rare. I thought you would be weak and trying to be strong, but I didn't expect you to look like you're doing well."
You know, since Jiang Ci became an adult, injecting inhibitors has become almost a daily routine. Every time she has an injection, it's like she has a serious illness. She looks weak and pale, like a rose that lacks water, which is gorgeous but decadent and withered.
As an S-class omega, he had a very strong recovery ability, so he could be full of energy again after lying in the repair cabin for a week or two. But that was when the medical conditions were extremely complete and sufficient, not the chaotic, barren and dark Tiandong Star.
This made Dr. He feel a little strange. He couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Could it be that this mutation... has an effect similar to a nutrient solution repair agent?"
Jiang Ci, who was simply comforted by the alpha last night, said: "..."
The major general turned his head away, obviously not wanting to continue this topic, and his tone was even a bit tough and angry:
"You're wrong, I used to be like that too!"
"Um... oh, okay I was blind."
Doctor He didn't know that he had touched this guy's sensitive nerve again, but he didn't want to say anything about it. It wasn't a big deal.
When it comes to important matters, He Zhun's expression suddenly becomes serious. He lowers his voice and asks:
"Then let's not talk about this. Did you...find the thing successfully?"
smoothly…
It’s not smooth, but it’s not hellishly difficult either.
"… "
Just mentioning this, Jiang Ci always felt that it was hard to put into words. But in the end, the result was good.
“It’s already in hand.”
Jiang Ci has asked Xiao X to examine it carefully, and it is indeed the Zhimei flower. Although it is not a complete plant, it is fortunately a living seed.
Therefore, it was worth his sacrifice to wear such... clothes and inject a high concentration of aphrodisiac to get in and get the things. Although this plan is dangerous, it is also a way to get the things in the shortest time.
The only thing Jiang Ci didn't expect was that he would meet two strange alphas.
Although he had confirmed that the person he saw in the safe was not Huo Xianfeng, for some reason, the two people always gave him a sense of déjà vu...
"Aci...Aci?"
"… ah?"
Jiang Ci suddenly came back to her senses and saw He Zhun's strange expression on the communication:
"What are you daydreaming about? Where are your things?"
"… here."
Jiang Ci took out the small box that he had snatched at the risk of being seriously injured, and opened it. Inside was a pink bead the size of a pearl.
—This is the seed of Zhimei flower.
"It's just a little different than what we expected... There's only one seed inside."
When Jiang Ci opened the box, he did not notice that there was a familiar figure hiding in the shadows not far behind him.
Huo Xianfeng originally planned to go to the underground city, but he smelled a familiar smell halfway.
Ah... Maybe because of the temporary marking, the smell of that omega is now like a beacon in the darkness in his olfactory system.
As a result, Huo Xianfeng didn't need to look for him specially, or even pay attention to searching, he could find the other party's location in the first place. Then, for some reason, he followed him.
"… "
The boy sighed softly.
—Actually, this is not a good thing.
Because this meant that the strange and unknown fragrance had a great impact on him. But following him was not a bad thing, at least, he had a chance to figure out why that omega had such a strange fragrance.
However, at this time, Jiang Ci did not notice anything unusual behind him. He placed invisible lights around him, which was similar to the principle of a mirage. He refracted the surrounding images to the surroundings, concealing his own whereabouts to the greatest extent through visual deception, and at the same time making people passing by unconsciously take a detour.
Huo Xianfeng: “…”
Although the sound has been muted, the lip movements can still be seen clearly.
Therefore, it is meaningless if this silencing area is not dealt with!
The young man was too weak to hold his forehead.
He originally thought that this guy had come out for some big event. But...
—It turns out that this beautiful omega is really as stupid as the beautiful ragdoll cat.
On the other side, Jiang Ci didn't know that he had been labeled a stupid ragdoll cat, and he continued to synchronize messages with He Zhun.
"Oh, by the way, Aci, have you felt any changes in your body recently?"
At this time, Dr. He said with a serious expression:
“Are there any unusual reactions or behaviors?”
Abnormal behavior
Jiang Ci fell into a strange silence for a few seconds because of this question.
"… "
If this abnormal behavior refers to—
Stimulated by the alpha's pheromones and becoming passive, then threatening another strange alpha to mark him, and finally begging for comfort in a very shameful way, and finally sleeping in the other person's bed... This kind of thing.
"without… "
She subconsciously wanted to refute, but as soon as the word came out of her mouth, Jiang Ci chose to swallow it.
—The young master of the Jiang family is actually not very good at lying.
"If I say,"
Jiang Ci closed her eyes and was silent for a moment before she finally spoke.
"I found an alpha... to do a temporary bidding..."
Before Jiang Ci even finished the second half of her sentence, He Zhun on the other side screamed in shock.
"What?!!! You actually &*%￥…"
"… "
Fortunately, Jiang Ci had turned off the volume of the communication in advance. Otherwise, he felt that his hearing would be temporarily deafened due to the impact of the high-decibel noise.
However, the other party's extremely exaggerated expression, incoherent speech and gesticulation still made the major general's temples throb violently.
"okay!"
Jiang Ci glanced over coldly, and frost suddenly condensed in her gorgeous red eyes.
"Shut up!"
"… "
The next second, the world was quiet.
He Zhunshou made a motion of pulling up his mouth.
He knew Jiang Ci too well. This well-educated young master would only say the vulgar-sounding word "Laozi" when he was in a very bad mood.
After a while, when the coldness faded from the Major General's pretty face, He Zhun spoke cautiously:
"You... forced to mark a weak and pitiful alpha?"
Jiang Ci, who turned on the mute function but could still read the lip movements, said: "... ?"
Huo Xianfeng, who was standing far away but could still read the lip movements, said: "... ?"
But before the major general could say anything, the other party immediately waved his hands frantically.
"Oh no no no, I said the wrong thing, which blind alpha was so unlucky to be caught by you?"
Jiang Ci, who caught the blind alpha: "..."
Huo, the blind and unlucky alpha Xianfeng: "..."
The black-haired boy not far away thought about it and felt that what the man said seemed to be correct.
As for Jiang Ci, if they were not separated by billions of light years, he would really want to tear her head off. Fortunately, after a period of incoherent chaos, Dr. He finally became more clear-headed:
"Ugh, sorry, sorry, well... I'm just a little shocked."
Not a little bit, to be exact.
After all, this beautiful but fierce major general, even though her gender is clearly written as omega on her file, Jiang Ci's record of beating alphas into the hospital from childhood to adulthood is enough to write a book.
He would even rather inject ten inhibitors than do a simulated temporary marking without any physical contact.
Jiang Ci seemed to have a natural physical and psychological aversion to alpha creatures, so He Zhun was so shocked. Although Jiang Ci was indeed an omega so beautiful that it angered both humans and gods, He Zhun still couldn't imagine him being pinned down and marked by an alpha.
At most, he could only think of...
"So, this temporary mark,"
He Zhun carefully observed his friend's expression and endured it for a long time, but still wanted to ask,
"You didn't do it with a gun to some unlucky alpha's head..."
—I got all of them right!!!
Jiang Ci holding a gun: "..."
The unlucky alpha himself: "..."
If Huo Xianfeng had not confirmed that no one else was present that night except the dead alphas on the ground, he would have deeply doubted whether the other party had witnessed the entire process with his own eyes.
The boy narrowed his eyes slightly.
This omega's friend is... kind of interesting.
Although he seems to be noisy, his observation and logical reasoning are surprisingly outstanding.
"-okay!"
At this time, the silver-haired major general could no longer bear it, and his pretty face was so cold that it looked like a layer of frost.
"Just tell me if there is any impact!"
"this… "
Doctor He hesitated and said,
"Without a detailed examination of the data, I cannot come to a definite conclusion right now, but a temporary mark can only serve to soothe the situation to a certain extent, and cannot eliminate it..."
Can't eliminate it
Eliminate what
Huo Xianfeng frowned. He intuitively felt that this should be the most crucial piece of information. However, the person in the projection did not say the last few words.
So he added another detail to this man's character profile.
—Seems quite cautious.
"… "
Jiang Ci understood what he meant. That is to say, the symptoms of false pregnancy will still exist in his body and will not disappear. In a few months, he will even have very obvious pregnancy reactions like a real pregnant omega.
The major general closed his eyes and tried to calm down the anger in his heart. After all, the rose was a plant that the empire ordered to be exterminated, and it was even once called the evil flower that destroyed the earth.
Nowadays, it is already good enough to find a seed.
only-
"If you rely on this alone, can you extract what you want?"
To be honest, the Major General's patience has reached its limit. He really doesn't want to be misunderstood as a pregnant widow. And a widow who forces others to label her! !
However, this matter cannot be completely blamed on He Zhun. After all, the other party had reminded Jiang Ci that it would be best for him to stay in bed after injecting the new inhibitor, but Jiang Ci did not follow the doctor's advice...
Therefore, he should bear the consequences.
"If there are only seeds..."
He Zhun hesitated for a moment and said cautiously,
"Then we can only cultivate it first, and then extract it... to develop it..."
This time, Jiang Ci didn't need to turn on the mute function, and Dr. He's voice was almost inaudible.
"Generally speaking... growing a tree from seeds would take a conservative estimate of three years."
Jiang Ci: “…”
Three years...
Not to mention the antidote, even if he just waited until the seeds blossomed, he would have already gone through three false pregnancies and had three babies!!!
Jiang Ci felt that the string of reason in her brain had been stretched to its limit at this moment, and might break with a snap in the next second.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Besides that, there is..." What other methods
Shua—
Jiang Ci suddenly turned around, without any hesitation, and the cold knife light instantly approached the man's throat. The boy seemed to have expected it, just turned sideways, and then pressed the left wrist of the beautiful omega holding the dagger, and turned over to press the man under him.
"do not move!"
Jiang Ci was startled by the familiar voice, and his body subconsciously obeyed the other person's words. But before he could see the other person's face clearly, he was held in the arms of the young man and rolled down the sloping sand dune together.
The moment he turned over, Jiang Ci saw the sky far away. It was originally empty, but at some point, a snowflake-like electric current appeared.
Then, the huge black ship came out of stealth mode, spinning around with its pitch-black gun muzzles extended.
The omega major general's scarlet eyes suddenly widened to the extreme—
"That is… "
The next second, the two figures fell into quicksand.
“Oh my god!”
The silver ring projected Dr. He’s head, which was suspended in the air. He Zhun, who was watching the whole process, had the most shocked expression in his life.
—There is actually someone who can hold Jiang Ci down! ! !
Still rolling? ! !
Wait... Where are the people?!
But before He Zhun could say anything, he heard a huge roar—
boom!!!
The next second, tens of millions of electromagnetic waves suddenly attacked—
The magnificent electric current was like a rushing tsunami, which suddenly turned the sand and rocks on the surface of the entire desert into a hideous black and purple color.
But in fact, this really looks like a very scary and supernatural scene. If someone saw it, they would probably faint on the spot.
I saw…
At the moment when the thousands of electric currents hit, a head with a "shocked face" floated in the air, screaming and flying out -
Snapped!
Dive into quicksand.
