My Alpha

The modified car jolted wildly along the snowy mountain road, its engine roaring as if venting a certain despair. The interior of the car was dim, with only the faint glow of the dashboard illuminating Si Qi's bloodless face and Shao Wei's nearly transparent pale face in his arms.

Blood continued to seep from the gauze wrapped around Shao Wei's neck, staining Si Qi's shirt red. The warm, sticky feeling burned his skin and nerves like the most vicious curse. The powerful hemostatic agent seemed to have little effect. Shao Wei's breathing grew weaker, and his heartbeat, under Si Qi's palm pressed against his chest, became like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any moment.

"Faster!" Si Qi growled at the driver, his voice hoarse as sandpaper, each word tinged with the scent of blood. His arms trembled violently from the exertion, yet he held Shao Wei tightly, as if that was the only warmth left in his world, a warmth that was steadily fading.

Dr. Chen frantically tried to perform emergency treatment, but the bleeding in the gland was far more complicated and dangerous than external trauma. The limited equipment and bumpy environment left him helpless, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Hold on... Shao Wei... look at me... don't sleep..." Si Qi kept calling out in a low voice, his voice filled with unconcealable panic and sobs. He tried in vain to use his pheromones to nourish the ever-weakening fire of life, but found that his glands were also twitching in pain due to the backlash, and the strength he could mobilize was minimal.

An unprecedented, overwhelming despair washed over Si Qi like an icy tide, threatening to completely drown him. Was he going to lose the half of his body he had finally recovered, just like that, in his arms? All because of his foolish plan and overconfidence?

The huge regret and self-blame gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake.

Just as the car slowed down slightly and was about to turn a sharp corner, several glaring high beams suddenly lit up in the snow ahead! The roar of engines came from the front and flanks!

"There's an ambush!" Silver Fox warned sharply, slamming on the brakes and turning the steering wheel at the same time!

The tires made a harsh friction sound on the snowy road, and the vehicle drifted sideways out of control!

Si Qi held Shao Wei in his arms tightly, using his own body to bear most of the impact, and hit the car door hard, and his vision went black.

Several black SUVs completely surrounded them, with gun muzzles sticking out of the car windows, locking them with cold murderous intent.

Gao Lan stepped out of the lead car and slowly approached through the snow, his face filled with a cruel, cat-and-mouse-like satisfaction. He glanced at Shao Wei, who lay dying in Si Qi's arms, and sneered, "How touching, Si Qi. But the game ends here."

He raised his hand and signaled his men, "Take Pandora and the defective item away. Everyone else, clean up."

In this desperate moment——

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several muffled sniper rifle shots rang out almost simultaneously! Gao Lan's men, who were about to step forward, fell to the ground! The bullets accurately hit their wrists or calves, instantly rendering them unable to move!

Gao Lan's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly squatted down to find cover: "Sniper! There are others!"

Immediately afterwards, even more intense gunfire rang out from the side of the hillside! The firepower was fierce and accurate, instantly suppressing Gao Lan's convoy! Those well-trained men, dressed in various clothes, emerged from the snow, their tactical coordination tacit, clearly an elite force that had been prepared in advance!

Is it the Presbyterian Church? Or another faction?

Si Qi didn't have time to think about whether this sudden change was an enemy or a friend. All he saw was Shao Wei's increasingly weak vital signs! This was his only chance!

"Get out!" Si Qi roared at Silver Fox, and at the same time kicked open the car door that was deformed by the impact, hugged Shao Wei and rolled out of the car, using the car body as a cover.

Silver Fox and Dr. Chen also got out of the car immediately and used the vehicle as a support to fight back.

A melee erupted instantly! The three factions clashed on this narrow mountain road, a constant cacophony of gunfire, explosions, and screams. The wind and snow were stained a strange color by the flames and smoke.

Si Qi, holding Shao Wei, struggled to move towards the hillside under the protection of Silver Fox and Dr. Chen. He didn't know who to trust, but he knew he had to leave this meat grinder and find a ray of hope for Shao Wei's life!

A stray bullet grazed Si Qi's arm, leaving a trail of blood, but he seemed unaware of it and just protected Shao Wei even tighter.

Just when they were about to rush out of the core of the battle circle, Gao Lan seemed to have discovered their intention. Ignoring the threat from the sniper, he ordered his men to concentrate their firepower and shoot at them with red eyes!

"Be careful!" Silver Fox pushed Si Qi away suddenly, but he was exposed to the firepower. He was shot in the shoulder instantly and fell to the ground with a groan!

"Silver Fox!" Dr. Chen exclaimed and tried to pull her.

Dense bullets poured down like raindrops, blocking all their retreat routes!

Si Qi fell to the ground, holding Shao Wei in his arms, and used his body to protect him tightly, feeling the life of the person in his arms slipping away in despair...

Is... is this really the end?

At this critical moment——

A dark figure swooped in from the flank at incredible speed! His movements were so swift that only a shadow remained! He held no gun, only two gleaming black bayonets, reaping lives with the precision and efficiency of a Grim Reaper's scythe! Wherever he passed, Gao Lan's men fell like wheat being cut down!

His goal was clear - to go straight to Gao Lan!

Gao Lan obviously hadn't expected the opponent to use such a near-suicidal close-quarters attack. He hurriedly raised his gun to shoot, but the opponent easily dodged the bayonet and blocked the bullet! The next second, the cold tip of the bayonet was already against his throat!

All movements stopped instantly.

The man holding Gao Lan hostage was a man wearing a black combat uniform and greasepainted on his face, his features unclear. However, the cold, deadly, yet incredibly powerful Alpha aura he exuded made everyone present feel uneasy.

"Tell your men to put down their guns." The man's voice was low and hoarse, without any emotional fluctuations, but with an irresistible deterrent force.

Gao Lan's face turned pale, and cold sweat streamed down his face. He could feel the icy coldness piercing his throat and the other party's undisguised murderous intent. He had no doubt that if he moved even slightly, he would be killed on the spot.

"...Put down your guns..." He gave the order to his men with difficulty.

The men in black looked at each other and finally slowly put down their weapons.

The sudden change plunged the battlefield into an eerie silence once again, with only the wind and snow still howling.

The mysterious man's gaze swept across the room, finally landing on Si Qi, who was fiercely protecting Shao Wei. His eyes seemed to shift slightly. He whispered into the communicator, "Target control. Medical team."

Soon, several people wearing white medical uniforms and special markings rushed down the hillside and ran straight towards Si Qi and Shao Wei. They acted professionally and quickly, and immediately performed an emergency examination and treatment on Shao Wei.

"Massive bleeding in the gland! Vital signs are weak! Surgery must be performed immediately!" The leading doctor made a quick judgment with a serious tone.

Si Qi seemed to have grasped the last straw, staring at the doctor with red eyes: "Save him! Please! Save him no matter what!"

The doctor didn't say much, just nodded solemnly, and together with his assistant, carefully lifted Shao Wei onto the stretcher and quickly moved him to the vehicle on the hillside.

Si Qi wanted to catch up, but because of blood loss and exhaustion, his vision went dark and he staggered.

The mysterious man in black had walked up to him at some point and reached out to help him. The man's hand was strong and powerful, yet very cold.

"Go with him." The man said briefly, his eyes sweeping over Siqi's bleeding arm and pale face. "Leave this to me."

Si Qi looked at the man. Although he was a stranger, the calmness and strong sense of power in his eyes inexplicably made him trust him. At this moment, nothing was more important than Shao Wei's life or death.

He nodded heavily, without hesitation, and with the help of another staff member, he staggered towards the medical vehicle.

Inside the medical vehicle was a small mobile operating room, surprisingly well-equipped. Shao Wei was already on the operating table, and the doctors were busy preparing for the surgery.

Si Qi was asked to disinfect and don sterile clothing, then allowed to remain in the corner of the operating room. He leaned against the cold wall, staring at Shao Wei's lifeless face under the operating light, at the cold surgical instruments in the doctor's hands. His heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it nearly impossible to breathe.

The operation began. It was a long and agonizing process. Every sound of the instruments, every solemn expression on the doctor's face, made Si Qi's heart skip a beat. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, oblivious to the blood seeping out. His gaze was almost fixed on Shao Wei, and he prayed frantically in his heart, pleading with all the gods he knew and didn't know.

Time passed by minute by minute, as if a century was as long.

Finally, the surgeon raised his head and said with a sigh of relief, "The bleeding has stopped. The gland is severely damaged, but the core functional area has been preserved. The vital signs are temporarily stable, but close observation is required."

Si Qi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and a huge feeling of exhaustion came over him. His legs went soft, and he slid down the cabin wall and sat down, burying his face in his palms. His shoulders trembled violently and uncontrollably.

It's not crying, but a physiological release after extreme tension.

Shao Wei...survived.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Qi slowly raised his head, his eyes red. He noticed that the mysterious man in black had also entered the medical vehicle at some point and was standing not far away, watching him quietly. The paint on his face had been partially wiped off, revealing a cold, sharply defined face. He looked young, but his eyes were as deep as an ancient well.

"Thank you." Si Qi spoke in a hoarse voice. This was the palest but most sincere thanks.

The man shook his head, his voice still calm: "Following orders."

"On whose orders?" Si Qi asked.

The man didn't answer directly, but handed over a communicator.

Si Qi took it doubtfully. A voice that had been changed but still sounded majestic and old came from the communicator:

"Mr. Si Qi, Mr. Shao Wei, I'm sorry to have this first contact with you. We are the 'scavengers' within the 'Watchers,' which you can think of as... an internal monitoring and error-correction agency. Gao Lan's crazy behavior has long attracted our attention. Thank you for providing the 'evidence' that allowed us to take action."

Si Qi's heart sank suddenly: "Scavenger? What do you want?"

"Gao Lan and his followers will be taken away for internal trial. The organization will do its best to compensate him for everything he has done," the voice continued. "As for you... The 'Twin Project' was the organization's mistake, but your existence itself is not. We will no longer consider you as experimental subjects or threats."

Si Qi gripped the communicator tightly, glanced at Shao Wei, who was still unconscious on the operating table, and said in a cold voice, "Compensation? Is a light-hearted compensation enough? What about the suffering he endured? What about the damage to his glands?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator before it spoke again: "The organization's medical resources will fully assist Mr. Shao Wei's recovery. As for the permanent damage to the gland... we truly can't do anything. But perhaps, the unique connection between you two is the best medicine."

"Furthermore," the voice paused, "as a gesture of sincerity and compensation, the organization will erase all official records of your past and grant you a brand new, clean identity. You will be completely free, no longer being tracked or disturbed by anyone. This is the greatest concession the organization can make."

Freedom? A new identity?

Si Qi was stunned. This was something he had never thought of, nor dared to hope for. Did this mean that they could truly break free from the shadow of the past and start over like ordinary people?

He looked at Shao Wei, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Perhaps this... was the only, and best, outcome to this disaster.

"...We need time to consider." Si Qi finally said in a deep voice.

"Yes. I will leave the contact information and safeguards with you. I wish Mr. Shao Wei a speedy recovery."

Communication interrupted.

The black-clad man known as "Zero" took back the communicator, leaving behind an encrypted contact and an address: "It's safe here, with complete medical equipment, perfect for his post-operative recovery. Once you've made a decision, or if you need anything, use this to contact me."

After saying this, he said no more and left the medical vehicle as quietly as he had appeared.

The vehicle was driving smoothly, heading towards the unknown but promising safety ahead.

Si Qi returned to Shao Wei, carefully held his slightly cold hand, and placed it against his cheek.

The wind and snow outside the window had stopped at some point, and there was even a faint ray of dawn in the sky, heralding the end of the long dark night.

Si Qi lowered his head and kissed Shao Wei's fingers very lightly. His voice was low and firm, filled with the exhaustion of surviving a disaster and infinite hope:

"Did you hear that? Shao Wei..." "It's almost dawn." "We... are free."
