Over-injection of high-concentration inhibitors, drug antagonism backlash, severe injury and blood loss, temporary marking...
Any omega that encounters one of these will enter a long period of weakness and spend several months in the hospital. Not to mention that Jiang Ci had stacked four buffs at once and had just fought a fierce battle.
The weak body began to feel extremely insecure, and the genetic protection mechanism was activated, causing Jiang Ci to extremely crave the alpha's protection and comfort.
—I had already forced myself to hold it back.
At least, it can be done to a degree that it is not noticeable on the surface.
Who could have imagined that Huo Xianfeng would suddenly grab the omega's fragile and sensitive neck and let him dive into the alpha's pheromones
“Hurry… hurry…”
The silver-haired omega's eyes were red, and he was clearly gritting his teeth in anger, but it seemed as if there was a pool of water in his eyes.
"Otherwise, the remaining money..."
After all, they couldn't win by fighting, so using money to bribe them was probably the only threatening way Jiang Ci could think of.
Plus, they've already made a deal.
It's just a pure transaction...
All you need to do is treat the other party as a special inhibitor...
While Jiang Ci was constantly deceiving himself mentally, Huo Xianfeng was watching him quietly.
At this time, the beautiful omega's voice was hoarse, and every word was accompanied by rapid panting. It looked like a ball of melting strawberry ice cream, urging people to lick it immediately.
“… Tsk.”
Wow!
The alpha boy suddenly picked up Jiang Ci and carried him sideways. The sudden feeling of being in the air made the latter subconsciously grab his clothes, and his muscles trembled slightly due to excessive tension.
"you… !"
Huo Xianfeng found a relatively flat and clean place to put the person down, but even though the latter was curled up in the corner with his knees hugged, he still held on to his clothes tightly, like a ragdoll cat that was extremely insecure and in a state of stress.
The young man reached out to touch Jiang Ci's forehead, and the latter trembled obviously when being touched, but did not dodge, but quietly moved closer. Huo Xianfeng clearly felt a low fever, which was a normal manifestation of excessive blood loss.
The radiation that day almost pierced a hole in Jiang Ci's left shoulder the size of a baby's wrist bone. Fortunately, the bone was not damaged, but it was still very serious. Even with simple repair treatment, this level of injury would require even a thick-skinned alpha to stay in the hospital for a month or two.
He used a dagger to cut open the clothes on Jiang Ci's left shoulder. The half-dried blood had made the clothes and the skin at the wound stick together, and there were also traces of being torn by external violence...
All in all, the situation looks bad.
In everyone's perception, omegas are always weak and delicate, and they would cry if they accidentally get a scratch on their skin.
But this omega named Jiang Ci is extremely strange.
Huo Xianfeng frowned. He glanced at Jiang Ci, who was gritting her teeth and saying nothing. He was surprised that the other party had not shown any abnormality throughout the journey. He didn't know how she could endure until now.
The young man sighed silently and asked,
"Do you have any medical supplies and a change of clothes?"
"…?"
Jiang Ci opened his eyes slightly, unable to restrain his look of shock. His eyes wandered over the boy's calm face for a few seconds, and found that the boy's breathing was steady, his face was normal, and there was no sign of being affected by pheromones at all.
Finally, the silver-haired major general realized that the other party really had no intention of appeasing him or anything like that at the moment, and he was not tempted by money at all.
—It was as if I had no appeal in front of this alpha.
He had just said those words, but the other party did not give a corresponding response, which already meant rejection.
After all, they were just casual acquaintances and did not have a real close relationship.
So what can we do now? Beg the other party
Of course not!
At this moment, Jiang Ci seemed to want to say something but held back. He turned his head away in embarrassment and said nothing.
"… "
So Huo Xianfeng directly took off the silver ring on his wrist.
"Bring out the medical equipment, otherwise your master might die from excessive blood loss later."
Xiao X: …!!!
Since they were going to a place like Tiandong Star, Jiang Ci naturally prepared a lot of things, among which medical supplies were naturally necessary. They were just placed in Xiao X's storage box.
When he was unconscious last night, it was naturally impossible for Huo Xianfeng, who was not the owner, to take it out.
But now, Xiao X, who put Jiang Ci's life safety first, immediately took out the things he had prepared long ago.
Crash-
Xiao X poured out a bunch.
The medical supplies brought from the capital planet are naturally incomparable to the cheap repair fluids on Tiandong Star. There is even a tube of extremely expensive healing agent in it, which is the fastest drug that can promote wound healing and replenish energy.
Jiang Ci gritted her teeth and refused with a cold face.
"No need for you, I can do it myself..."
Huo Xianfeng raised his eyes, glanced at him, and then ignored him.
Jiang Ci: “…”
With the medicine and tools, the young man quickly treated Jiang Ci's wounds. His technique was very skilled and precise, even better than that of the professional surgeons in the Capital Hospital.
The injection of the healing agent made Jiang Ci's condition slightly better, but only slightly. Now Huo Xianfeng had completely restrained the pheromones in his body, so even when they were face to face, Jiang Ci could only sense a little bit.
This feeling was like 10,000 ants crawling around in his heart, but at this moment he just gritted his teeth and endured it. But the next second, his jaw was suddenly pinched by the boy's hand, and then turned around.
"Well… "
Jiang Ci was caught off guard and had to open his mouth due to the pressure on his cheeks. His eyes widened before he could react, and then, something was stuffed into his mouth by the other party. The tip of his tongue rubbed against the alpha's dry fingertips, and then he tasted a sweet strawberry flavor.
Jiang Ci opened her eyes slightly, her round crimson pupils were as beautiful as crystal balls.
He recognized it.
—That's a nutrient concentrate pack.
After all, ordinary tube-shaped nutritional supplements are not easy to carry, so this smaller and concentrated packaging was created. Each one is a round ball, about the size of a cherry.
But most people wouldn't buy this fruit-flavored concentrated nutrient solution. Jiang Ci had eaten more of the weird-tasting, but more powerful version, similar to the military compressed biscuits used on Earth.
Nutrient concentrate packets like this one, which are low in energy and specially injected with fruit sweetening simulated substances, are generally given to picky eaters.
However, it seemed that there was not only the smell of nutrient solution, but also a subtle sweet smell similar to blood.
Jiang Ci was keenly aware of the moment when she swallowed the liquid in her mouth. It was as if a pleasant and subtle electric current spread from her mouth. Her body, which had been itching and painful, was finally soothed. Even her tightened and stiff muscles softened in an instant.
-What is this?!
Jiang Ci was so comfortable that she couldn't speak, but she still reached out and grabbed the fabric on Huo Xianfeng's chest.
"You...what on earth..."
Because his jaw and cheeks were pinched, Jiang Ci had difficulty speaking, and his voice was muffled and unclear, which suddenly became a little cute. However, at this time, Huo Xianfeng had already guessed what he wanted to ask.
"One milliliter of my blood and a sedative diluted fifty times were added to it."
This ratio can not only achieve a certain soothing effect, but also quickly relieve Jiang Ci's pain, while also replenishing his energy, allowing him to quickly return to normal.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the soft flesh pinched on the omega's cheek.
The other person's expression at the moment was dull, as if he was a little angry, and also a little sad. His beautiful red eyes were originally wide open in anger, but then he had to squint comfortably, like a ragdoll cat that was originally cursing and angry, but was suddenly scratched on the chin.
"The last time I temporarily marked someone, I injected too much pheromone. It was my fault."
It was equivalent to that only ten milliliters were needed to block the omega smell, but that night, Huo Xianfeng, who was stimulated, injected ten times the amount.
This is also the main reason why Jiang Ci is now completely unable to resist his pheromones, and once stimulated she will feel unbearable pain and crave comfort.
The boy released Jiang Ci's jaw and helped him put on a clean shirt. His movements were natural and skillful, and he looked like he was very caring.
"Plus, we already had pheromone soothing last night. If it happens again..."
Huo Xianfeng helped him button up the last button, then raised his eyes and met the omega's wet eyes.
"Jiang Ci, you might be aroused to passive sexual intercourse."
"… "
It is indeed true that when an alpha tries to soothe an omega, there will be a very subtle degree of pheromone release. Once this dangerous critical point is exceeded, it may not only fail to achieve the soothing effect, but may also stimulate the other party to become passive.
By that time, the inhibitors may no longer be effective and can only be used as a last step.
In fact, there are many alphas who do this, under the banner of appeasement, but in the end they deliberately provoke the omega to the point where he can only cry and beg them to do so.
"… "
Jiang Ci was stunned, then turned away, avoiding the other person's gaze. Her tone was like that of a stubborn child who refused to admit his mistakes.
"-knew."
At this moment, he suddenly didn't know how to face this alpha named Huo Xianfeng.
Because since they met, the other party has completely controlled all the rhythms. This made Jiang Ci feel timid, but the occasional tenderness of the other party made him want to get closer.
All kinds of conflicting feelings mixed together, and finally the silver-haired major general could only give up and blame everything on pheromones and genetically forced instincts.
At this time, after confirming that Jiang Ci's mental state had returned to normal and her physical condition had also begun to recover, Huo Xianfeng stood up. He looked at the time and realized that he had been delayed for almost half an hour.
He looked at the inside of Jinyuan's chest cavity, which was very large. After all, the size of the double S mecha was basically comparable to that of a starship. It not only had a cockpit, but could also be divided into many rooms with different functions.
—Not to mention the 3s forbidden abyss.
But now there is nothing in here.
Huo Xianfeng checked the internal energy lines and was surprised to find that there were no signs of aging at all.
"—Someone is nurturing the remains of the Forbidden Abyss."
A familiar voice came from behind him. Huo Xianfeng turned around and met Jiang Ci's eyes. The latter looked a little better now. The blush on her face faded, but the tips of her ears were still a little red.
He motioned Huo Xianfeng to look down.
From the huge energy reactor below, countless photon tracks crisscrossed and shuttled up from below, penetrating into Jinyuan's whole body, like densely packed blood vessels, transporting the last bit of nutrients to maintain the status quo for the wreckage that had long lost its life.
"Based on the energy lines and power system, it is speculated that the first time of warming should be 260 to 280 years ago."
Without specific measurement and testing tools, Jiangci can only make preliminary judgments.
Huo Xianfeng showed a slightly surprised look. Although he could guess the purpose of the energy liquid transported by these photon orbits, he could not accurately predict the specific time when this energy device was built like Jiang Ci.
But if there is no major problem with the time speculated by Jiang Ci, then that means the person who did this can only be from the same era as Huo Chao, and they may even have a close relationship with each other.
Moreover, it coincides with the time when the construction of the Tiandong Star Underground City began.
"To be able to do this quietly on Tiandong Star..."
A name popped up in Huo Xianfeng's mind.
"Ye Shu, the Lord Lord of the Underground City."
"Ye Shu...?"
This name made Jiang Ci stunned for a moment. Huo Xianfeng keenly caught his strange reaction and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why, you know him?"
"… "
Not to mention knowing each other
Jiang Ci shook her head.
"It's just... I've heard of this name."
At this moment, long-forgotten memories suddenly came to my mind.
That was a long, long time ago.
To be precise, it was twenty-two years ago, at Jiang Jinsheng's funeral.
Young Jiang Ci was less than five years old at the time, but he clearly understood that day that his father was dead. He did not turn into a star in the sky, nor did he go to a faraway place.
It means that all body functions stop, brain waves disappear, and after a few years, they will rot and disappear, re-entering the elemental cycle.
But these three statements still have one thing in common.
That is, Jiang Jinsheng disappeared completely.
Many people came to the Jiang family that day, even including the almighty Emperor.
But the young Jiang Ci didn't want to see anyone. He hid in the cabinet in his father's study. He didn't cry, but just listened to Xiao X telling him stories gently.
boom!
The change happened at that moment.
That was a very scary man.
It's not just the crazy state at that moment, but the appearance of the other person.
The left side of his face looked like it had suffered some very serious injury, it was twisted and hideous, and his left arm was also a mechanical prosthesis, making him look like an artificial monster.
But Jiang Ci didn’t understand. The man looked like he was crazy and wanted to kill Zhou Jiuya, but his uncle had no intention of fighting back at all.
Snapped!
The young omega rushed out, holding the mini pistol transformed from the small X, and fired a shot at the man.
boom!
The bullet passed through Ye Shu's shoulder, leaving a dark bullet hole on the wall. The young child stubbornly protected his relatives, trembling and pretending to be fierce.
"No! Don't hit him!"
"… "
The air stagnated at that moment.
"Jiang Ci! Why are you here?!"
But the most shocked person was not Ye Shu who was pointed at by a gun, but Zhou Jiuya who was beaten. The latter looked quite nervous.
“Put the gun down!!!”
Ye Shu glanced at the bloody hole on his shoulder, but didn't care at all. He just lowered his head to look at the silver-haired child in front of him. At that time, in the eyes of the powerful alpha, Jiang Ci was probably like a kitten trying hard to breathe.
"How dare you..."
The man glanced at Zhou Jiuya sarcastically.
"Look, even a little devil is better than you."
Ye Shu's tone was very cold at the time, but he still took out a mask to cover the hideous scar on his left cheek.
Jiang Ci still remembers the condescending look of that powerful and dangerous alpha. The other party looked at him and uttered a cold and sarcastic laugh.
"What a pity. He's an omega after all."
After saying this, he turned and left.
The young children watched Zhou Jiuya chase out and called him—
"Ye Shu!!!"
Jiang Ci closed his eyes and pushed the yellowed memories back into the depths of his mind. He avoided Huo Xianfeng's thoughtful gaze and whispered,
"However, it is also possible that they have the same name."
Although she said so, Jiang Ci didn't think it was just a matter of having the same name.
After all, Zhou Jiuya also came to Tiandong Star specially, so the lord of the underground city is most likely the man who appeared at his father’s funeral twenty-two years ago.
Jiang Ci changed the subject and began to carefully analyze the situation of the wreckage inside the Forbidden Abyss.
"The angle and cut of the shattering are very strange. It was not shattered by external forces, but was broken from the inside. Preliminary prediction is that the inner core of the Forbidden Abyss should have been voluntarily separated at that time..."
"The inner blocks here are made of rare Mandalay metal. The forging technology seems to be different from the standard..."
The silver-haired major general turned on the scanner installed on the small X and quickly analyzed the local damage effects here.
"In addition to the meltdown caused by the interstellar nuclear bomb, there seem to be some scars from attacks by other weapons..."
At this point, Jiang Ci frowned.
Logically speaking, the final battle in Forbidden Abyss was against the Zerg, so how come there were so many scars from attacks caused by human weapons
Moreover, it doesn't look like the standard weapon used by the army three hundred years ago.
Listening to Jiang Ci's analysis one by one, Huo Xianfeng's eyes showed a little surprise. After all, he knew that Jiang Ci was Bai Ze's pilot, but mecha pilots usually pay more attention to combat skills.
Knowledge and skills like analyzing the wreckage of damaged mechas are generally the work of mecha manufacturers.
"It seems you know a lot about mechas?"
This is not a simple understanding. Even professional mecha manufacturers may not be able to achieve this level.
The boy's voice suddenly interrupted Jiang Ci's thoughts, and the latter pursed his lips.
"Yes, I understand a little bit."
After all, his father Jiang Jinsheng was the top mecha manufacturing master in the empire, and the Jiang family controlled the most complete military production system in the entire empire.
Jiang Ci didn't say any more about this topic. He knocked on the metal next to him.
"Someone has been using huge amounts of energy to nurture the remains of the Forbidden Abyss, but has never actually started to repair it. There are only two possible scenarios."
The photon track was reflected in his eyes, and an exceptionally beautiful glow appeared in those gorgeous red pupils.
"Or the other party has no actual ability to repair it..."
However, if one is able to build such a huge energy reactor, it is not impossible to repair the Forbidden Abyss if one really wants to.
The only explanation is -
The boy helped him come up with the second possibility
"Or maybe his goal is just to maintain the wreckage as it is, and he has no intention of repairing it."
Huo Xianfeng originally thought that this underground city was simply a gray force whose purpose was just for power or money, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
After all, what can a scrapped mecha wreckage do
Nothing can be done.
Even though it was once a 3S mecha, the symbol of Marshal Huo Chao, it is now just a piece of scrap metal.
Therefore, the only possibility is that the person nurtured the wreckage not for the purpose of repairing the Forbidden Abyss and obtaining a 3S mecha,
—But for the owner of this mecha.
Just like there are always some people who spend a lot of money and effort to do something that has no reward at all.
And give this originally meaningless behavior the value of nostalgia.
Huo Xianfeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke,
"I know where the core of the Forbidden Abyss is."
"What?!"
Jiang Ci turned around suddenly and saw the young man pointing to the east.
"Do you remember what the core area of the underground city is called?"
"Asahi-ku."
Jiang Ci suddenly realized something. If Ye Shu knew Zhou Jiuya, then he must also be a subordinate of Marshal Huo Chao.
"yes… "
The boy sighed.
"Asahi."
This is already obvious.
The core of the Forbidden Abyss is the artificial sun hanging high above the Chaori District.
Sassy—
Above the boundless desert, the strong wind blew the scorched gray sand and stones across the strange skull mask on Ye Shu's face.
It was almost evening at this moment, and the blood-red sunset finally sank into the horizon.
The city lord raised his head and stared coldly at the sky in the distance.
I saw a huge and ferocious space crack on the boundless sky of the wilderness. It was like a strange beast from another world ruthlessly tore through the sky and stretched out its greedy and bloody face.
The huge white aircraft carrier, like a holy sword in mythology, pierced through the crack.
The whole world almost fell into a state of extreme darkness. Ye Shu saw the familiar symbol on it, a blood-red cross.
He was not surprised, nor was he shocked by the church's space-jumping technology that was ahead of its time, nor was he terrified by the impending threat of war and death.
At this moment, the city lord simply turned his head and looked at his most trusted comrade-in-arms, with a terrifying calmness.
"Is this your plan, Zhou Jiuya?"
Ye Shu sneered,
"I thought after all these years, there would at least be a fresh one."
"… "
Zhou Jiuya knew what he was referring to. Three hundred years ago, when Huo Chao led the Dawn Legion to resist the Zerg, the church suddenly stabbed them in the back.
That was the first time that the Phantom God Cult demonstrated such terrifying space travel technology, which almost surpassed the theoretical level of human cognition.
—Ye Shu’s left arm was lost at that time.
Later, Jiang Jinsheng installed a biomechanical prosthesis for him. Ye Shu didn't seem to care at all at the time and even went to show off the extremely cool prosthetic body to many people.
Zhou Jiuya originally wanted to comfort her that day, but Marshal Huo Chao stopped him and shook his head.
[Ye Shu is very afraid of the pain and is crying in the corner.]
"… "
So, at this moment Zhou Jiuya said to Ye Shu
"That kind of situation will not happen a second time."
He repeated it again in a gentle but very firm tone.
"Ye Shu, there won't be a second time."
Zhou Jiuya raised his hand, and in an instant, in the distant night sky behind him, dazzling spots of light lit up one after another, converging into an extremely brilliant and dazzling sea of stars.
The First Legion of the Empire was reorganized from the remaining Dawn Legion.
It is also the most powerful military force in the empire today.
At this moment, the two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the already fragile cooperation was like a piece of thin paper that was about to be blown apart by the wind.
In the original plan, the church was only responsible for taking the core of the Forbidden Abyss and would not send troops. However, Zhou Jiuya also anticipated the possibility that the church would suddenly turn against them and directly send troops to attack Tiandong Star.
At this time, a beam of light shot out faintly from under the white aircraft carrier, and several people in white robes slowly landed.
Seeing this scene, Ye Shu sneered coldly. People from the church always liked to create this kind of inexplicable sense of ritual when they appeared, as if they really regarded themselves as the spokespersons of God on earth.
"Master, don't be angry,"
The bishop in a white robe floated down to the ground, her hem embroidered with gold patterns.
—This is an alpha female.
There are a total of twelve bishops in the Phantom God Cult, and the one captured by the Zerg underground is just one of them.
She walked slowly towards the two of them, her posture and steps unusually graceful.
"We didn't want to break the agreed cooperation, but we just received a tip-off that not only is the Tiandong Star trading Zhimei flowers privately, but there are also Zerg hiding underground."
The white-robed bishop Yulia finally stood in front of the two of them. Her eyes swept across Zhou Jiuya's face, and then met Ye Shu's cold and murderous eyes.
"Whether according to the laws of the Empire or the rules of the Illusionary God Church, he must be sentenced to death, right?"
"… "
Zhou Jiuya was shocked, but did not show it.
"It's just a tip, not evidence,"
He said coldly,
"At present, Tiandong Star belongs to the empire. I remember that the church has no right to interfere."
"This is a matter of life and death for mankind. We, the Illusionary God Cult, cannot sit idly by. However, although we cannot reach a consensus on this point at the moment, Commander..."
Yulia smiled.
"We have obtained the core of the Forbidden Abyss, and the cooperation can continue."
boom!
This sentence was like a huge rock hitting the water, and Ye Shu's face changed instantly.
At that moment, Yulia suddenly rushed in front of him, her five fingers forming claws, heading straight for Ye Shu's face.
boom!
Zhou Jiuya grabbed the woman's wrist in time, making her fingertips stop a few centimeters away from Ye Shu's temple.
"you!"
The legion commander's enormous strength even caused his wrist bones to crackle, but Yulia did not show any pain, and even sneered.
At that moment, golden lines suddenly grew out from the woman's slender arms, winding to her fingertips, like some disgusting parasite piercing into Ye Shu's temple.
“Ahhh!!!”
Amid the painful screams, at this moment, she glimpsed the secret that Ye Shu had desperately hidden for three hundred years.
The core of the forbidden abyss...
They have been searching for the core for three hundred years!!!
It turned out to be the ordinary artificial sun in the sky above the underground city!!!
