[“Ah Zhao, what does it feel like to be in the susceptible period of Alpha?”]
[“That’s a feeling… worse than death.”]
…
Su Liang felt like he must be dreaming.
The dream was about the failed life he had experienced once before.
He and Lu Zhizhao were sitting in a simple but cozy hut in a slum, having a conversation full of tentativeness and hesitation.
When did that happen...Oh, yes, Su Liang remembered that it happened after they eloped and Lu Zhizhao had his most severe susceptible period.
Before that, as a Beta, Su Liang had never thought that the Alpha, who was usually strong, cheerful, and a favored child of heaven, would actually become a madman because of the effect of pheromones.
Even Lu Zhizhao himself had never expected the mental disorder caused by that susceptible period. When he was at the Lu family, once it was detected that he was about to enter the susceptible period, the Lu family's private doctor would inject him with various hormone-controlling drugs in advance to alleviate his attacks. Although the Alpha-specific inhibitors on the market are already very mature, for an Alpha like Lu Zhizhao who has reached S-level, they are more like a placebo.
However, after eloping and being away from the careful care of the Lu family's medical resources, Lu Zhizhao's attack was very serious.
If Su Liang had not tried his best to trick Lu Zhizhao into the cave and took the opportunity to lock the heavy iron door of the cave, the young man who usually smiled brightly and took good care of him might even have done something irreparable to Su Liang.
——As a Beta, Su Liang is completely unable to release the Omega pheromones that can help stabilize emotions. Once he encounters an Alpha in his susceptible period, his fate will be extremely miserable.
Well, even though the worst thing didn’t happen in the end, Su Liang’s condition was already miserable enough. When Lu Zhizhao finally woke up, Su Liang's body was covered with wounds.
After being resisted by his partner, the furious Alpha instinctively resorted to violence.
Su Liang had quite a few resistance wounds on his body, and it was because of this incident that he discovered that he was so seriously allergic to Lu Zhizhao's pheromones.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoliang, I definitely didn't mean to hurt you... I just... I just couldn't control myself..."
Su Liang was covered with a thick blanket, and the bruises and sprained joints on his body were all aching.
He was silent for a long time before he sighed and asked that question.
"...Not being able to get relief from Omega pheromones, is it really that hard for you Alphas?"
Lu Zhizhao knelt in front of him. His face was bruised and swollen from having gone crazy in the cave, and he looked quite embarrassed.
The young man who was once full of vigor and vitality now seemed to be shrouded in ashes, and he felt so guilty that he seemed about to cry.
"It's all my fault. I should have found a place to get through this earlier. I was too careless. I clearly felt something was wrong with my body, but I... I had lost control of my body. You know, Xiaoliang, it felt like there was a fire burning in my body. I was almost going crazy..."
Having said that, Lu Zhizhao showed a bleak expression again.
"If only my level was a little lower, at least I could still use the inhibitor."
The frail boy who loved Lu Zhizhao back then did not speak.
And now Su Liang has long forgotten what he was thinking at that time.
"I will never do this again next time, Xiaoliang. If I am susceptible again next time, I will definitely avoid you. I swear this is the last time I will hurt you."
"I will never let you suffer again. I was wrong. I was really wrong..."
Gradually, Lu Zhizhao's voice and the dilapidated slum hut became a blur.
“Tick…”
“Tick…”
…
Su Liang's breathing became more and more rapid.
The surrounding scene, accompanied by the fishy and sweet smell of blood, gradually began to change. In just a blink of an eye, Su Liang found himself suddenly back in the narrow and dim cab of the Mahoraga.
The Alpha in front of him suddenly turned into another person who was pale, gloomy and handsome.
It’s Mr. Si.
Su Liang looked at the man in front of him in horror. His face was ashen and he was lying silently on the floor inside the mecha. His body was covered in dark red blood and his chest was motionless. On his abdomen was an extremely hideous wound with only the handle of a pitch-black dagger on it.
The man had already died from his severe injuries.
[Mr. Si! 】
…
Su Liang gasped and woke up from an extremely terrifying nightmare.
But the moment consciousness returned, the intense discomfort in the body also returned instantly.
There should be a dressing on the back of the neck, and the medicine brought a cool feeling to the skin there, but even so, it couldn't suppress the burning sensation that kept gushing out from deep inside the information gland.
My body feels heavy, every muscle aches, and there is an indescribable soreness inside my body.
Although he had regained consciousness, his thoughts and five senses seemed to be submerged in water, and were far away from the outside world.
Su Liang could only vaguely sense that there seemed to be someone arguing beside him. One of the voices was very familiar, while the other was very strange.
"...Su Liang should move out of the snake cave immediately! He is still here, and no one can guarantee that he will not continue to affect the snake master!"
"Please, Bai Nian, calm down. This place is so far away from the boss's confinement area. How could Su Liang possibly affect him..."
"You guys thought before that Su Liang, as a beta, would be fine even if he had obvious signs of pheromone gland development because his pheromone overflow value was low enough! But look at the situation now, the snake master... Damn it, if it weren't for this beta, things wouldn't be so bad!"
"I know you admire the boss the most, so you're so concerned, but no one could have predicted something like this, okay... And this time it's clearly the Snake Cave's fault, we are the ones who should kneel down and beg Su Liang to apologize, so don't vent your anger here..."
"Xue Yinhuan, which side are you from?"
"I'm on the side of the righteous buddy... No, I'm saying that you're a medical officer after all, so you should be more calm and objective at work..."
…
Although he couldn't hear clearly what the two people were arguing about, Su Liang still frowned in unbearable pain.
He groaned in pain and tried hard to sit up.
The next second, the quarreling around them suddenly became quiet.
"Xiaoliang, you finally woke up!"
The cold and sticky treatment fluid was drawn out bit by bit. After the arc-shaped treatment chamber cover was opened, Xue Yinhuan's surprised cry suddenly became clear.
“Cough cough… cough…”
Su Liang coughed out the therapeutic fluid in his throat and nasal cavity awkwardly, then turned sideways with difficulty to look at the person beside him.
The moment Su Liang saw the baby-faced young man's black combat uniform, he shrank back almost instinctively.
Immediately afterwards, everything that had happened before flooded into Su Liang's mind.
The mecha, the cockpit, the madness of the susceptible period, and... Mr. Si's final bloody wound.
"Mr. Si?!"
Su Liang subconsciously tried to sit up, but as soon as he exerted force, he fell back down.
It wasn't that he had any wounds that were so painful that he couldn't bear it, but that a sudden burst of soreness and swelling occurred in some vague location deep inside his body, making him lose his strength in an instant.
"Be careful! Take it easy! Your treatment period isn't over yet!"
Xue Yinhuan started yelling, grabbed Su Liang, and pushed him back into the treatment chamber.
"You'll need at least several days to recover in this condition..." Xue Yinhuan muttered, his eyes pausing on Su Liang's face, then he turned nervously and yelled at a figure next to him, "Bai Nian, come over here and take a look at what's wrong with Su Liangze. He looks so bad."
The man stood there for a long time before he walked step by step to the treatment chamber.
He was a handsome young man, but his face, skin and hair color were all different from those of the people on Earth.
The skin is white with a slight bluish tint, the pupils are plum purple, and the short hair is a brilliant golden color...
This extremely bright color combination inexplicably made Su Liang look familiar.
Xue Yinhuan quickly cleared up his doubts: "Su Liang, this is Bai Nian, the chief medical officer of our Snake Cave. Don't underestimate him because he is young. He is a mixed-race Leia. You know the Leia people, right? They are experts in controlling and regulating mental power! By the way, those Leia plants you raised before were also raised by him. Haha, but he couldn't keep them alive and had to find an Earthling to raise them. I didn't expect that you would help to raise them later..."
Xue Yinhuan was just trying to ease the atmosphere by introducing the two people to each other.
But even though Su Liang had just woken up from a coma and his mind was still a mess, he felt that it would be better for Xue Yinhuan to keep silent.
…The medical officer named Bai Nian already had a stern face, and after hearing about the Leia plant, his expression became noticeably worse.
He ignored Xue Yinhuan, maintained an extremely cold expression, and gave Su Liang a simple examination.
After casually noting down the readings of various test data, Bai Nian passed Su Liang and said to Xue Yinhuan: "His physique is too weak. He has been injected with a large dose of high-level Alpha pheromones in a short period of time. His body is somewhat unable to adapt. That's all. You don't need to worry so much."
Xue Yinhuan opened her eyes wide and asked nervously, "How can this be considered 'just this'? Su Liang was exposed to...pheromones." The young Viper almost let the cat out of the bag halfway through his speech. He quickly mumbled something and then continued, "Will there be any sequelae?"
Bai Nian sneered: "Since you question my judgment, why don't you be the medical officer?"
"ah?"
Xue Yinhuan was suddenly stuck.
Bai Nian glared at him, then walked straight out of the ward. Xue Yinhuan was left with a bitter face, apologizing to Su Liang repeatedly: "I'm sorry, that kid has been in a bad mood recently, that's how the Leia people are. By the way, don't be nervous, Bai Nian said it's okay, you should really be fine, I was just nervous, you don't know that I was randomly smoked by the pheromones of that, that someone, and I felt headaches, stomachaches, and leg cramps for several days afterwards, which was terrible. That someone of yours, his level is really high, ordinary people really can't stand it. How do you feel now? Are you uncomfortable? If you have any discomfort, just tell me..."
Su Liang looked at Xue Yinhuan quietly. After a long time, he spoke.
"How is Mr. Si?"
Xue Yinhuan's face froze, and she looked like she really wanted to kneel down to Su Liang.
"I'm sorry! He hasn't been able to come and apologize to you in time, but I'm here to solemnly apologize to you on behalf of the Snake Cave—"
Su Liang interrupted Xue Yinhuan and asked again: "I know Mr. Si... He is not the kind of person who would not show up after doing such a thing. Xiaohuan, what happened?"
Xue Yinhuan's face fell.
"Well..."
There was also a hint of frustration in his eyes that was hard to conceal.
"He is still alive."
He said.
…
But it's just "alive".
A few days later, Su Liang, who was finally able to get out of bed, stood in the confinement yard deep underground. Looking at the man who was tightly locked in countless alloy confinement devices behind a huge glass isolation wall, half hanging in the air and motionless, these words flashed through his mind.
