Chapter 28 (Two in One)
Shi Yu was like being overwhelmed by the tide.
She couldn't tell whether it was noisy or quiet around her. The breathing sounds heavier than those of wild beasts beat on her eardrums like drums. Shi Yu seemed to have suddenly broken into a wonderful world. The rain poured down on her, and she vaguely realized that it was the sweat soaking through her body.
The green and ripe smell spread recklessly, and the cold and smelly air in the mountains was invaded by the sudden burst of strawberry scent.
Shigure's body was steaming, every inch of her skin exposed to the hunters' condescending scrutiny, whether it was invasion, peeping, or rage - Shigure's heart was pounding, and she was confusedly aware of the boys' intense emotions... Was it because of the smell of strawberries?
In a trance, Shigure saw Wayne.
He stood at the outermost edge, blood splattering into the corners of his eyes, his red hair burning like flames. He stared at Shi Yu, and that handsome, flamboyant face seemed to be slightly contorted by something, his chest heaving heavily.
...was so far away from him, and he was still being harassed by the alien. Shi Yu couldn't help but want to call him: Wayne...
The fingers covered with half black gloves pulled down the gun, and at the same time, the calves kicked down fiercely to crush the limbs. Wayne's pupils constricted, and every muscle was contracting and pulsating. The insect-shaped monster let out a scream that pierced the air under his military boots.
After a brief silence in the world, the red figure quickly retreated to the open space. He rushed towards Shigure, and countless people were rushing towards Shigure - bright red reflections appeared in the boys' eyes, and Shigure saw countless distorted faces that split into two.
They roared and stretched out countless strong arms to her eagerly. Shi Yu stepped back hesitantly, tears wetting her cheeks, and a small scream of fear came out of her throat.
Wayne's figure was swallowed up, but Xia Feng was still beside him... Shi Yu used all his strength and shouted tremblingly: "Xia Feng...!"
The next moment, a warm breath lightly surrounded her.
Xia Feng spun sideways and kicked, hitting the ribs of a boy who was very close to her. The brown-haired boy was knocked to the ground by the fierce force. Amid the girl Alpha's rapid breathing, she coughed lightly and half-knelt down, using her dagger to block the attacking weapon of another boy.
Shi Yu saw that Xia Feng was bleeding, whether it was his shoulders and neck that were neatly wrapped in bandages, or his leg muscles that were intact and strong just now... Xia Feng's short hair was also soaked with sweat. In the middle of fighting hard with the other boys, the girl with short black hair gritted her teeth and looked back at her, her cold and deep black eyes full of complexity.
"Omega..." Her eyes flushed slightly, and she said in a hoarse voice, "You are an Omega."
Shi Yu had no idea what Xia Feng was talking about. Her thoughts were in a mess. She cried and shook her head, wanting to deny it. However, the next moment, she was grabbed by the neck and lifted up. Shi Yu's calves struggled in the air, and the salty and fishy smell of the sea suddenly choked her nose. She couldn't make any sound for a while.
Shi Yu smelled the bitter scent of the sea breeze, an unusual sea flavor, which was hotter and more agitated than the sea breeze he had felt a long time ago.
Shi Yu was familiar with this smell. She was stunned for a moment, then struggled weakly like a rabbit being picked up. It was Xiu, it was Xiu... She definitely recognized the smell of the sea!
Shi Yu couldn't see Xiu's appearance, she could only feel Xiu grabbing her arms with the strength to twist her limbs apart. Shi Yu was suspended in the air with her back to the boy, and a hot breath came from her neck. The girl burst into tears, and the premonition of being torn apart made her whimper softly, and she weakly called out: "Wayne..."
Orange-red flames exploded beside her ears, Shi Yu heard a muffled groan, and a feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over her, and she fell back to the ground.
"Omega."
The hoarse voice rolled with indistinguishable breath sounds, and the skin of Xiu's strong wheat-colored right forearm was charred black by the explosion, revealing the blood-red texture. However, the handsome face with a somewhat mixed-race look showed no emotion and was as stiff as an exotic wax figure.
The boy's reddened brown eyes seemed to be dripping with blood, and the exaggerated winding bloodstains on his waist and abdomen and his abdominal muscles rose and fell heavily with his deep breathing. Shi Yu collapsed in front of the tall Xiu, and his whole body trembled under Xiu's cruel gaze that seemed to carve into his bones.
He asked hoarsely and roughly, "At that time... on what basis?"
Xiu did not look away. Even without paying special attention, his severely injured shoulder and arm were still able to accurately and emotionlessly hit the abdomen of the same level attacking from behind. After the dull sound of flesh/bodies colliding, the Alpha who was hit had a face distorted with pain and flew more than ten meters away.
The chaos of fighting all around, the clashing of swords, the smell of beasts and their fierce roars, made Shi Yu feel like she was in a nightmare. The time Xiu spent talking to her was actually only a brief moment.
Just as Xiu reached out his hand to lift her up, a gentle and calm voice suddenly came from behind him. As if completely unaffected by the frenzied atmosphere around them, Noah succinctly ordered, "Xiu, stop."
Xiu's body stiffened instantly, as if the silver-haired Alpha's voice was some kind of irresistible command input into his genes.
Shi Yu sobbed, and before being embraced by the familiar smell of chili peppers, she vaguely saw Xiu behind her.
Noah was leaning against the tree trunk beside him in a somewhat awkward manner, as if he could hardly stand. The boy's handsome cheeks were slightly pale, and a few strands of silver hair were wet with sweat, but his back was still elegantly straight. When he met Shi Yu's gaze, Noah pursed his lips lightly and gave Shi Yu a gentle smile.
…Shi Yu was weakly stuffed into Wayne’s arms.
The scene before her shifted rapidly. She moved her palm weakly, feeling as if she could feel Wayne's heartbeat through her soaked clothing. The boy's chest was swollen with rage, and his palm burned, fierce. The fierce smell of chili peppers overwhelmed her senses. Shi Yu's eyes flushed red, and she instantly choked on tears.
She was shaking uncontrollably. Wayne lifted her onto his shoulder with one hand and beat the mad wild dog with his fists and flaming weapons. The boy's arms were bulging with veins and muscles, and his arms, waist, abdomen, thighs... He was also gasping for breath. Every time he exerted force, this young and strong body was gradually pushed to the limit, as hard as steel and as ferocious as a beast.
Shi Yu kept shedding tears. She hugged the red-haired Alpha tightly, and her delicate and fair face was covered with tear marks.
The crowd and the beasts were rushing towards her. In the chaotic double vision, Shi Yu saw a young man who had broken through the encirclement and stretched out his hand towards her. He roared loudly, his red eyes oozing bloodshot, while Wayne still had his back to him -
The next moment when Shiyu was about to scream, she suddenly saw a mechanical figure blocking her way just right, and Shiyu's sight was immediately blocked by Loren's tall and thin back.
Loren groaned softly as he was hit so hard that he took two steps back. He stretched out his hand and instinctively protected his lens, but it was shattered by the ruthless punch that followed, and his wrist bone was instantly twisted.
The boy's head was tilted by the blow, and his well-defined profile was covered in blood. His hair, which had been neatly combed back and had a light green tinge at the ends, now had a few strands falling down in a messy manner.
Loren's deep eye sockets were embedded with shiny fragments, and sticky blood dripped into his calm pupils. He dodged the second wave of attack from the opposite boy in time, and the subtle angle allowed the opponent's fist to hit the bird-shaped monster flying next door.
"Temporary mark."
Having a moment to breathe, Loren's military boots stood steadily, and his magnetic voice seemed to have lost some of its former rhythm and tempo as if it was prescribed by a program.
Blood dripped down his heavy eyelids, forcing him to slightly close his damp, blood-red eyelashes. He spoke faster and suggested, "A temporary mark can temporarily eliminate the pheromone—"
He should be talking to Wayne, Shi Yu thought with sobs, but before he could finish his words, Loren's voice suddenly disappeared.
He was completely driven to his full ferocity, tearing the monster apart as the young man tore him to the ground. The sound of fists pounding flesh and curses instantly reached Shi Yu's ears. Shi Yu watched in amazement, then she reacted and shuddered, the sob stuck in her throat finally escaping.
Her chest heaved rapidly, and in the midst of collapse, she heard Wayne say something... She cried and shook her head, clutching Wayne's collar tightly.
After all, prey are always reluctant to give themselves up completely. However, at this moment, Shi Yu seemed to be guided by something. When the back of her neck was caressed by the fingertips with a leather texture, she honestly softened in Wayne's arms. Her instinct of obedience made her only let out soft sobs.
She wanted to say, Wayne...
Wayne's leg muscles were tense, and Shi Yu could feel that he had kicked something away again. However, even in this difficult situation, the boy still had time to comfort her. The pheromones around her were still extremely agitated. The lion's green eyes drooped slightly, and he adjusted his breathing hoarsely and rhythmically. The furious rise and fall of his chest gradually stabilized.
He glanced at Shi Yu in his arms, and his gloomy green eyes finally fixed on her flushed and soft cheeks.
The cold, leather-covered fingers brushed across the back of her neck once again. Shi Yu blinked her wet eyelashes unconsciously. She looked at Wayne blankly. There was surprisingly no anger in Wayne's voice. He stared at her with his beautiful, upturned, bloodshot cat pupils, which were now filled with crystal tears, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you say it?"
Shigure wasn't sure what Wayne was saying, nor how to respond...
The Omega in the passionate period was in his arms. Wayne took Shigure and once again passed by and kicked a fellow Omega away. His glands were beating, and the surging hormones controlled his nerves that were about to burst. The lion captured the Omega with his constricted pupils.
The Omega who could easily show intimacy that crossed the boundaries with those people, the Omega who could smile naturally at them, he stared at the Omega, and pressed his fingertips covered with half leather gloves on her sweet and beating glands with predatory intent. The Omega trembled and whimpered instantly, and the fear that Wayne was familiar with appeared on her face.
The boy's torso was hard and scorching, like a branding iron embedded in it. The steaming heat caused his hands, accustomed to gripping weapons, to tremble slightly, and instinct began to gnaw at the Alpha's sanity. Another person lunged forward. Wayne's brow twitched, his blue eyes bloodshot with a fierce rage. He mobilized his muscles to fight back, his combat boots lashing out at them, sending the Alpha flying backward with a roar.
After standing firm, Wayne raised his eyelids, and his crimson eyes looked fiercely at the other peeping male beasts, suppressing a heavy breath in his throat.
No absurd Alpha would allow an Omega in the heat of passion to remain so secure in his arms. He held the Omega close at hand, the blood rushing through his body clamoring for him to sink his teeth into his prey's body and conquer the tenderest part of its flesh. He could tear it apart and conquer it without hesitation, without having to consider any resistance from the other party, because the combination of pheromones would make their souls and bodies become one.
——Alpha will do this.
And definitely not here. He panted and asked her hoarsely, "...are you willing?"
...Shi Yu vaguely saw the sweat on the boy's forehead. His slightly wheat-colored skin was burning bright red, and the skin texture was also abnormally hot.
She heard what Wayne said, and then she lost all memory of what he had just said.
There were footsteps, sounds of beatings, and roars that rose and fell as if from another world. Many young voices were distorted and broken, and pheromones poured out like an uncontrolled floodgate.
Those voices pried open her brain, and Shi Yu wanted to faint. Perhaps she knew that if she was caught, she would no longer be able to escape, and her life would become completely different...
So the Omega kept crying. She clutched Wayne's tank top and seemed to want to shake her head, but she lost even that little strength.
She just tried to move her lips and make a sound: "Wayne..."
A steady stream of monsters easily broke through the loose formation and attacked the team, but no one cared at this time.
Decades ago, on interstellar battlefields, a single capsule containing the scent of Omega odorants could completely route an entire Alpha army. Although the Federation's development, with its cutting-edge mechas and sophisticated protective gear, had made it less susceptible to the scent of Omegas, no one had anticipated the sudden appearance of a precious, delicate Omega during such a normal military training session.
In the eyes of Alpha, Omega is a weak vassal who must depend on them for life, but under certain conditions, Omega can also dominate these high-ranking Alphas.
These young, proud Alphas now possessed neither defense nor perfect self-control. The soft, sweet aroma of pheromones instantly overwhelmed the young men like a bombshell. The passionate Omegas wept and invited them, and naturally, the Alphas' chaotic pheromones surged. Each of them believed they would be chosen, their hormones and instincts driving them like wolves scenting blood.
Phil managed to maintain a modicum of sanity, avoiding the crowd that rushed toward the center. However, after being attacked by a monster and then punched by a confused peer, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in frustration, practically jumping up and down in anger.
“Damn it…” He gritted his teeth viciously, then swiftly dodged and kicked the monster over: “It’s just a mark, take a bite first!!”
No one expected that an Omega would suddenly show up during the training camp, and an Omega who... suddenly fell into a passionate period at such a time and place. When Shigure was still a Beta, his big, silly, hedgehog-headed companion paid unusual attention to her - he thought he was hiding it well, but as soon as the Omega's pheromones came out, he immediately lost his mind and showed his true colors!
Phil pinched his nose angrily and continued to fight Warcraft.
It's no wonder Phil was furious. The division of labor had been clearly defined when they formed the team. He wasn't the type of Alpha who excelled in physical combat, and teaming up with Herbert was meant to complement each other. But after using him so thoroughly in the first two rounds, and now leaving him to take a beating in the third, what kind of teammate was that?
The Omega in its passion was still emitting a scent, and Phil's brain began to feel dizzy. Strawberry, strawberry... He thought vaguely as he punched the charging monster. It really is a pheromone that suits Shigure...
She was so cute when she was a Beta. If I had known she was an Omega—
Omega can easily arouse some inappropriate thoughts in Alpha. The suffocating sweet taste is as addictive as a suffocating taste that penetrates deep into the lungs, and the boy's body gradually heats up.
After a move that was too strong but missed, Phil, whose strength was so weak compared to his peers that it was not worth mentioning, staggered two steps, and finally let out a "hiss" and half-knelt on the ground.
He grabbed his collar and didn't stand up for a while. The smell of strawberries seeped into his body more and more. Beads of sweat appeared on the boy's baby face, and he began to breathe heavily involuntarily.
Instinctively, his gaze longingly followed the direction of the strawberry scent, but the Alphas fighting each other madly and the shrill roaring monsters blocked the view of the Omega's cute figure. Phil could not see anything except the ugly appearance of his peers.
...Not far from him, a grayish-white Alpha was twisted all over, soaked in blood, lying quietly on the ground like a dead person.
Medicine bottles, used for unknown purposes, were scattered all over the floor, shattered glass piercing his pale, sickly flesh. But since he hadn't been forcibly transported away, it meant he wasn't far from dying, so it wasn't Phil's turn to worry.
Originally thought that the other party had lost consciousness, but when Phil glanced at him, he actually saw him grab the grass leaves on the ground with his bony palms, and then like a dog, the gray-white Alpha knelt and propped up his body, making a hoarse and unclear sound in his throat, and raised his bloody face horribly.
He cast his gaze deeply, gloomily, and with difficulty in the direction where the strawberry smell came from.
Although the angle and the bloodstains made it difficult to see his expression, Phil could easily guess what was going on. Feeling the scene was rather ironic, Phil's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but cough out a chuckle.
Alpha is similar to animals, oh no, he is also an Alpha... You can't scold yourself as well.
The federal elementary education textbooks had written about the mutual attraction between Omegas and Alphas, but the Alphas present, including Phil, were basically exposed to Omega pheromones for the first time. Now Phil finally realized the horror of this "mutual attraction".
The white-haired Alpha smiled and panted, shaking off the sweat on his head. Although he was sweating uncontrollably, he was better off than his unfortunate peer. At least he still had the strength to stand up.
After finally standing up straight, Phil suddenly almost collapsed to his knees again. The strawberry-flavored pheromones rushed out of control for the second time. He covered his forehead with his hands, feeling dizzy. His heart was beating rapidly, but the baby-faced boy still had the energy to sigh even on the verge of losing his mind.
Ah, how amazing! So this is an Omega...
…
The rain seemed to be floating lightly on the clouds.
She knew Wayne was struggling, and Shiyu was not rejecting him. If possible, Shiyu also wanted to help him in some way...
She tried to call Wayne's name over and over again, hoping that he would understand, but Wayne did not move. Shi Yu leaned weakly in his arms, using the last bit of her strength to move closer. She said to Wayne in a weak and uncomfortable voice, "Wayne...it's okay."
...Yes, he can do whatever he wants. Wayne has never hurt her, and Shi Yu is willing to believe Wayne.
All sounds were drowned out.
The mountain wind was no longer cold and fishy, and the crowd was no longer noisy. After a moment, Shi Yu heard the sound of patient breathing. The smell of chili pepper finally completely enveloped her. In an instant, she felt a pain in the back of her neck that made her tremble all over. Shi Yu's body stiffened, and she clutched Wayne's clothes and let out a weak cry of pain.
Chili flavor, strawberry flavor...
The moment the pain came, Shi Yu's ears began to tinnitus as if bombarded by something, and her brain seemed to be soaked by water. A strong and warm force swirled in her mind, gently comforting every inch of her painful nerves.
Shi Yu reacted slowly, trying to hold onto that power, but in that instant, her breathing became rapid. Her eyes widened in fear, her chest rising and falling rapidly as if she were suffocating. A cold sweat covered the girl's body, and she trembled. There was a crackling sound, and then she fell back into the world.
——Ale...
Shigure cried blankly. Suddenly, she smelled beer, its scent lingering painfully in her nerves. The repulsive scents of the Alphas were like a tidal wave of conflict. Shigure's entire body went cold, her limbs curled up and twitched, and the back of her neck suddenly felt like it was about to be torn apart by a burning pain.
In the Alphas' sense of smell, the soft and sweet scent of Omega disappeared for only a moment.
Then came the second wave of pheromones that swept in crazily. The strawberry scent that briefly baptized the Alpha's aura seemed to let these crazy teenagers know that if they missed this chance, they would never have another chance. The forest fell into a sultry vortex, and the flammable Alphas seemed to be completely detonated.
The blade pierced the air, Xia Feng gritted her teeth, and at the moment the incident happened, she barely managed to withstand the increasingly fierce attack from her peers. The eardrum-numbing buzzing sound was accompanied by sparks. Sweat fell on her cheeks, her steps were unsteady, and her phoenix eyes were bleeding. As she raised her elbows high to block again, she couldn't help but look at Omega.
…As she was closer to Shigure, she noticed that Wayne had already bitten his teeth into the Omega's gland, but the Omega was not successfully marked.
The moment his mind was disconnected, Wayne reacted faster than anyone else.
Hot bodies filled with blood kept rushing towards him. Veins on the boy's forehead throbbed, his green eyes narrowed slightly, and he went around Shi Yu's weak arm that was draped down. His finger, half covered with a black leather sheath, pulled the trigger, and gloomy flames spurted out from the iron-gray weapon at the feet of the Alphas.
Like a wild beast driven to blood, the lion's green eyes froze into shattered ice, and his throat swallowed a heavy breath. His slightly erect pupils slowly locked onto the black-haired Alpha standing on the periphery with a patient and pale expression.
Xiao's narrow eyes, with cracks in the azure blue, widened slightly. When the Omega's pheromones surged again, he looked towards the center of the fight where Wayne was, as if aware of something.
The powerful mental strength allowed the young man from the East Country to retain a rare lucid mind, and he even seemed to have the energy to think. After being surprised, he instantly realized what was going on - the brief mental connection at the beginning allowed his pheromones to remain in the Omega's mental body, indirectly resulting in Shi Yu being unable to be rescued by any Alpha mark other than him.
A sudden flurry of fists lashed out at him. Xiao frowned and took a few steps back. A tiny, fluorescent ray of spiritual energy floated in the air, blocking the attack of the same level according to his will. His opponent would not understand his inner feelings, but at this moment, the black-haired Alpha had no time to care about anything else.
After repelling the opponent, Yinglan's mental power surged, the Eastern boy pursed his lips, and his eyes with a slight redness fell on Shi Yu.
Reason told him that if he stepped in, he would never be able to escape. He would lose the self-control he was so proud of and become no different from the animals in this chaotic battlefield who fought only for hormones...
The usually calm mental power suddenly became restless and issued a warning. Xiao calmed his mind, then smiled and took a deep breath, thinking that there was nothing to hesitate about.
...However, the moment he stepped out of his military boots, a cold white mist suddenly spread across the mountains.
The fox-like eyes of the young man from the East Country narrowed as he suddenly saw countless white frosts forming on the deep green trees. A chilling wind whipped the ice beneath the ground, and the crystal-clear shards clung to his sturdy legs, parasitic and crawling upwards.
A small hurricane carrying sharp ice cubes knocked over the Alphas who were still fighting. They were swept away by the cold wind and fell to the ground in various postures. The cruel ice quickly froze their stiff and twitching limbs.
The sounds of the monsters also disappeared completely, and the mountains and forests suddenly fell into a cold and silent state.
...When someone grabbed her by the waist and picked her up, Shi Yu had no strength left. Her face flushed as she fell into a fir-scented embrace.
The other person was wearing polite and reserved white gloves, and with one of the gloves he lifted up Shi Yu, while with the other he moved the hair on the back of her neck without emotion. The cold needle then forcefully injected into the back of her neck. Shi Yu didn't react and sobbed softly in pain. The man sighed softly, bent his knuckles, and pressed against her restless shoulder bones with a little force. Shi Yu could only lie in his arms and cry aggrievedly.
"That's all."
A strong and calm voice sounded coldly in her ears, a warning without mercy. Shi Yu was not sure whether the man in white gloves was talking to her.
The liquid in the syringe began to take effect and she passed out.
The author has something to say:
Highlight: There is no intimate contact below the neck in this chapter!
Don't think Rein is too cold. He will have to take a group of kids for a physical examination, be forced to become my sister's guardian, and write a self-criticism to his superiors to accept punishment. Everything is his responsibility, don't worry (……)
