Inside the living base——
In the survivors' medical room, Su Liang, with the help of the medical officer, removed the probe of the instrument used to measure mental power from the back of the neck of the Omega in front of him.
"Number 78... basically stable..."
Su Liang looked down at the mental strength stability value of the Omega in front of him on the screen, relaxed his expression and smiled.
“It’s going well.”
He concluded.
Although the mental state of the survivors is still in the "basic stable" range and there is a lot of room for improvement, the state of the group of Omegas in front of them has been greatly improved compared to when they were just rescued.
"This is a really good number. I thought it would be good if it could be maintained at around 60."
The medical officer at the side leaned over to take a look at the results obtained by the instrument, and a relieved smile broke out on his face.
"I've already said it. I feel like I've been feeling much better lately."
"Yes, Medical Officer, you were worrying all the time. Why don't you have so little confidence in yourself?"
"A-Su is also amazing. Every time he uses his mental power to comb my hair, I feel so comfortable..."
Hearing the medical officer's sigh, the Omega survivors came over with smiles on their faces and started talking at once.
The medical officer in front of him had worked with Su Liang on the spaceship before. The Omegas had also established an extremely special relationship of trust with Su Liang during that time. Now that they met again in the living base, the atmosphere could actually be described as harmonious.
"I have to say, Su Liang, you are really amazing. I heard that you just differentiated into an Omega not long ago." The results of this examination were good, and the medical officer's tone was much more relaxed when chatting with Su Liang. "But, I have observed for a long time, and your effect on sorting out other people's spirits is really excellent. You are almost catching up with senior therapists. You are really talented in this aspect."
The medical officer couldn't help but sigh.
"As expected of the Serpent Master's personal mental therapist..."
"The instruments in the Snake Cave are very advanced and play a very good auxiliary role. The instructions you gave me are also very detailed. I just need to follow them."
Su Liang was almost embarrassed by the praise, and he explained in a low voice with a red face.
He really didn't have the face to explain. When he was with Lu Taipan, he was dizzy the whole time and had no way to train his mental power at all!
As he spoke, Su Liang raised his hand and touched behind himself, trying to remove the instrument probe that was stuck to his body. But just as he raised his hand, a sudden soreness deep in his body froze the boy's movements.
“Hmm—”
The sore and swollen feeling brought about by the development of a new organ was too stimulating, and Su Liang subconsciously groaned.
"Azu? Are you okay?!"
The Omega who had just finished treatment immediately noticed something was wrong with Su Liang and hurried over to support him.
"Did you twist your leg because you were too tired?"
At the same time, the medical officer also looked at Su Liang. He asked worriedly, and before Su Liang could say no, he raised his hand to help Su Liang remove the instrument port. The moment his collar was opened, Su Liang's hair from the back of his neck to his shoulders was covered with pink marks, indicating a man's strong possessiveness, which was immediately exposed to everyone.
The smile on Su Liang's face froze.
"oops……"
He heard an Omega gasp.
"Feel sorry."
Su Liang shuddered and quickly came back to his senses, ignoring the strange feeling deep inside his body. He stood up in a hurry and straightened his collar. He was very worried that the traces of Alpha left on his body would irritate the Omega around him.
But in the next second, he heard the female Omega next to him express her emotion in an exceptionally sophisticated and affirmative tone.
"…Your Alpha's marking teeth are really well formed, with deep and regular tooth marks. The marks left behind are long-lasting and harmless. Just by looking at the teeth, you can tell that he is a good Alpha."
Su Liang: “Ah?”
Omega's completely unexpected reaction made Su Liang stunned.
The Omega who spoke seemed to see his surprise and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
"What's the matter? Although I was unlucky enough to be taken to that kind of hellish place, I have slept with many Alphas before..."
The Omega, who was already of some age, gave Su Liang a coquettish look.
What Su Liang didn't expect was that after hearing the woman's words, the other Omega survivors in the treatment room also came forward and started a heated discussion.
"Your ALpha should be the snake or something, the snake team?"
Someone is asking,
"What snake team? It's the Snake Master, Lu Taipan. It's thanks to him that we were all rescued. I remember how powerful he was. When we were on the spaceship, he was so powerful that he could smash all the mechas of those beasts with just one punch!"
"Hey, what are you guys still asking? Didn't you see Starnet? Ah Su's partner is the Snake Lord. Oh, you know what. I saw on Starnet that the Snake Lord looks really good, and he didn't look as fierce as he did on the spaceship. And, you can tell at a glance that kind of Alpha has a good waist."
When the last sentence was said, several Omegas who were most familiar with Su Liang and had recovered better burst into laughter.
But although they were laughing, after the joke, someone stared at Su Liang thoughtfully for a while, then quietly hooked Su Liang's sleeve, leaned close to Su Liang's ear, and gave him careful instructions.
"Your partner seems too powerful, and he's an important person... You'd better be careful. That Alpha can obviously leave offspring at a glance. You are young, so you can wait a little longer, but don't let others take advantage of you for no reason!"
…
If Su Liang had not had the experience of his previous life and had only stayed in the First Star Zone from beginning to end, he would probably think that these survivor Omegas were a little out of touch and could even discuss such a topic so openly. You know, in a place like the First Star District, even between Omegas who are very familiar with each other, it would be difficult to make such straightforward jokes and instructions to each other. However, Su Liang now knows very well that these survivors have experienced too much and do not understand the so-called "sense of marginality" or "privacy" at all.
Behind every teasing and joke they made to Su Liang was the most innocent and straightforward concern.
...It is this concern that sometimes makes Su Liang a little overwhelmed.
When several Omegas began to talk about certain abilities of Alphas, Su Liang wanted to run away. The boy's face was almost burning and he didn't dare to open his mouth to answer. But on the other hand, while Su Liang blushed, he slowly felt relieved - being able to get together like this and discuss Alpha so frankly and candidly also shows that the mental state of the Omegas has stabilized. Even though they are still physically sensitive to the Alpha's pheromones, psychologically speaking, they are no longer so confused and frightened.
This is the best news for Su Liang.
After chatting and laughing with the Omegas for a while, Su Liang's communicator lit up.
Su Liang clicked it and saw that the person being called was Xue Yinhuan.
[Xiaoliang, please take care of the boss!] Save us singles, not everyone can handle this level of showing off——】
But before Su Liang finished reading it, the message was displayed as "automatically withdrawn by the system" and then disappeared from his communicator.
Su Liang sent back a question mark in confusion.
But this time Xue Yinhuan did not reply as quickly as usual. Instead, a pop-up window that Su Liang had never seen before popped up from the communication terminal: [The communication target is currently on a mission, and daily communications have been temporarily blocked - Fro system]
Before, Xue Yinhuan had often taken time to chat with Su Liang when he was performing ordinary-level tasks. Now that he was suddenly blocked, Su Liang became more and more confused. Before he could figure out what was going on, a message from Lu Taipan flashed on his communicator.
Su Liang's fingers froze and he looked around quickly. The Omegas were already enthusiastically discussing the grade of Su Liang's future children and did not notice him. He then bit his lip and clicked on the message.
What appeared on Su Liang's screen was a research report submitted by the Equipment Department to the snake owner. It showed that the fixing device of the bite stopper specially provided to the snake owner had been strengthened. Under normal circumstances, the bite stopper would not be easily removed. In addition, the fixing device also had additional functions such as "control transfer" and "specific words trigger unlocking".
Of course, the last function was circled out by the Lord of the Snake Cave.
[From now on I will be under your care.] 】
Just a few simple words, but Su Liang felt as if he could see the man's deep brows and slightly hoarse voice whispering to him.
Certain images suddenly flashed through Su Liang's mind.
The boy's face flushed and he turned off the communicator extremely quickly.
But even so, the already pounding heart still did not calm down in time.
hateful……
I always feel that Mr. Si has become completely different from before.
And he himself seemed to have become strange.
Su Liang thought angrily.
The heart is uncontrollable, the mind is restless.
The psychiatric treatment and examination went smoothly. After making sure that everyone was in good condition, Su Liang was ready to leave the living base under the escort of the medical officer.
This should have been a smooth end to the day.
However. Just as he was following the medical officer through a long and narrow corridor, he suddenly stopped.
"Did you hear that?"
He asked.
The medical officer looked at Su Liang in confusion: "What did you hear?"
Su Liang: "Someone... is screaming."
"Screaming?"
The medical officer raised his eyebrows, then he blinked and turned to the other end of the corridor.
"Ah, it's 'No Name'."
He pointed to the room down the hall.
"'Nameless'? Wait, it's her?"
Su Liang also reacted.
Among the survivors rescued from Area 48, the girl codenamed "Nameless" is the most special one. She should have been a high-level Omega, but her glands were dug out. She was almost destroyed, but probably because her gland was related to a powerful person, the "farm" supervisor used it as a means of saving her life and secretly hid her in a life-support capsule, allowing her to survive. In the end, she was brought back to the snake cave during that "spring outing" operation.
"But 'Wuming' has been forced to sleep for too long, and she suffered a terrible thing before, and her spiritual sea is completely broken. If she is left alone and continues to sleep, she may never wake up again. So we will stimulate her brain regularly and force her to wake up briefly. However, after being awakened, she will not have any consciousness. Instead, she will show a crazy and collapsed side because of the extreme pain accumulated in her consciousness."
The medical officer said bitterly.
"Today is the day of 'treatment' and you may hear her screaming."
The medical officer didn't actually hear anything, but he also knew that an Omega with sharp mental powers like Su Liang would be more sensitive than him, and it was possible that he could hear the girl's screams through such a thick soundproof door.
“Is that so…”
Su Liang's face also looked heavy.
For a moment, he even felt guilty.
In those mysterious legends, Siga's mental power is so strong that it can heal anyone with a mental breakdown. As a person suspected to be Siga, he could at most help ordinary Omegas to recover some of their strength and spirit, but he was completely powerless against "Wumi" who had suffered even more cruel treatment.
He sighed deeply.
At this moment, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded. In the stunned sight of Su Liang and the medical officer, the door of the ward where "Wumi" was placed opened wide, and someone rushed out in a hurry.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, need more people? Where's the pharmacist? Where's the nurse? The medical officer...anyone will do. There's a problem!"
The man who ran out was also wearing a white medical robe. His face was ashen, and he was shouting anxiously with one hand on the earphone, while his other hand was covered in blood. There was a sudden missing piece on the edge of his palm, as if something had bitten off a piece of flesh.
The gushing blood almost completely dyed the hem of his medical officer's white robe red.
As the metal door opened, the screams became clearer.
What kind of scream was that - the sound was completely out of tune, filled with intense fear and despair. The extreme emotion of collapse was wrapped up in the sound, and even if you just listened to it, you would tremble involuntarily.
Behind the metal door was a heavy hospital bed. Several people gathered around the bed in panic, stretching out their hands and trying to hold down the person on the bed.
After leaving the life support cabin, the girl named "Nameless" looked increasingly shriveled and thin. She had never had a normal life and was really just a tiny skeleton. Even Su Liang, who has a frail figure, can probably be considered a strong man in front of that girl. However, this skinny girl suddenly burst out with amazing strength that ordinary people could hardly imagine. She kept bouncing on the bed, and the soft restraints that were originally designed to protect her from harm had long since burst. Now she had to rely on the nurses and medical officers to hold her down to the bed.
But even so, she still struggled very hard. So many people rushed forward, but still couldn't completely control her.
The hands of several people were even soaked with blood, where the girl had bitten them like a wild beast in her frenzy.
"Calm down, you're safe, kid, you're safe—"
"It's over, wake up."
"It's fine……"
Amid the screams and howls that were so sharp that they hurt even the eardrums, there were the painful words of comfort from the nurses and medical officers.
However, that was of no use to the girl whose spiritual sea had already completely collapsed.
The scene happening in the ward at this moment was like hell.
Without any hesitation, Su Liang and the medical officer rushed forward.
The ward was filled with the smell of blood, and blood was oozing out of the girl's eyes and mouth.
"Where's the tranquilizer?"
The medical officer prepared to inject a sedative into the girl the moment he rushed in.
"It's all used up! But it's no use! The tranquilizer has no effect on her at all--"
But this is the reply he got.
My colleagues' faces were already covered with sweat, tears and blood, and they looked extremely miserable.
"hateful!"
The medical officer cursed angrily, rolled up his sleeves, and planned to hold the girl down with his body like his companions.
However, at this moment, the girl's skinny body, lubricated by blood, rushed out of the shackles of the human arm.
Time seemed to slow down suddenly. Su Liang stood in the ward and looked at the girl.
There was no light in the girl's eyes, only endless fear and pain. She had completely lost her sense of who she was, nor did she know where she was. Being awake is an endless hell for her, and she just wants to escape from "hell" immediately.
She crashed into the metal wall of the ward.
…
"don't want--"
Everything happened very quickly.
Afterwards, even Su Liang himself could no longer recall what happened at that moment.
He only knew that the moment he saw the girl crash into the wall, he involuntarily extended his mental power.
Just like he had treated those Omega survivors before, he instinctively used his mental power to soothe them - of course, if the situation wasn't so urgent, if everything was just a normal discussion of treatment methods, his behavior would probably just be stopped by someone with a wry smile.
There is no point in using mental power to comfort a person who has no basic sanity and whose spiritual sea is completely shattered.
It may even just be a waste of the mental therapist's own mental energy.
However, at that moment, when Su Liang's mental power reached out to the girl, the girl's originally crazy movements stopped instantly.
In the invisible spiritual world, a gentle and quiet "white snake" opened its eyes.
The girl stood in front of the metal wall in a daze.
The sound of heavy breathing was heard in the ward, and everyone looked at the girl without daring to move.
Su Liang's eyes gradually turned dark, his pupils dilated widely, and it seemed that no light could be reflected from inside the pupils.
The white "snake" hovered over a piece of shattered spiritual fragments, and it used its body to tightly wrap up those sharp fragments to prevent them from continuing to cause harm to the girl's soul.
"Master Su Liang..."
"what happened……"
Someone was calling his name, someone was screaming, and there were footsteps of nurses and doctors rushing to help...
However, those sounds seemed to come from far away beyond the water.
At this moment, in the spiritual world, there were only Su Liang and the suffering girl.
The girl slowly turned her head and looked at Su Liang.
Tears slowly fell down the girl's dry cheeks, and her lips moved.
[Save me.] 】
[I’m so… scared…]
The next second, the girl's body swayed and she fell directly to the ground.
At the same time, countless chaotic images, connected by mental power, rushed towards Su Liang's consciousness like meteors.
Su Liang let out a muffled groan, and then, like the girl, his eyes went dark and he fainted.
…
Fragments.
Sharp fragments of consciousness surrounded him, enveloping him
Su Liang looked in a trance at the fragments of consciousness that were constantly spinning in front of him. He wanted to escape, but as soon as he moved, he felt as if he was being pulled directly into the black hole by an invisible force.
He was completely enveloped by those fragments of consciousness.
[Gurgle…]
"Su Liang" opened his eyes and found himself immersed in ice-cold, sticky nutrient solution.
It's like a small fish being placed in a fish tank.
He too is housed in a huge cylindrical glass vessel.
The surroundings were gleaming with faint light from unknown instruments. There were many, many similar huge petri dishes around him, so many that it seemed as if there was no end.
He heard the sound of the machine and the bubbling sound with every breath he took.
He felt extremely weak and at the same time, there was a tingling pain.
His body became small and thin.
The hands, feet and even the spine are firmly fixed on special devices, and breathing, eating and excretion are carried out through tubes inserted into the body. This feeling was so bad that Su Liang even felt as if he was being made into a specimen.
what happened?
Where is this?
Who is he?
No, that's not right, this is not reality.
Su Liang suddenly realized this...
He found himself in the girl's memory.
He didn't know how long he spent in this memory. Finally one day, "Su Liang" heard vague conversations coming from outside the petri dish.
"Su Liang" raised his head with difficulty. His body was fixed tightly in place, and the desperate pipes made him only able to see a small part of the person who came.
Through the turbid nutrient solution, he could only barely guess that the person coming was a tall and strong man and... a child?
Su Liang couldn't see their faces clearly, but as they got closer, Su Liang could gradually hear their conversation clearly.
The man and the child stayed in front of "him" for a long time.
"...Young Master, have you chosen this one?"
Then, the man suddenly raised his voice and said in surprise, his voice full of flattery.
"As expected of you, young master, you have a good eye. This one is the one with the greatest potential here. She is likely to differentiate into an A-level Omega, right?"
It’s a pity that the man’s earnest sales pitch did not receive the due enthusiasm. The child’s voice was childish, but particularly cold.
"A-level? Just A-level? How annoying... I don't want a mediocre A-level. Can't we make this individual differentiate into an S-level?"
"But young master, S-level Omegas are hard to come by. We have tried our best to expand the breeding sample, but the S-level delivery rate is still..."
"Don't try to fool me with that. I'm not your client. My brother has already told me that you have developed drugs specifically for boosting mental power and increasing levels! If that's the case, why can I only have an A-level? I only want an S-level!"
Hearing the child's spoiled request, the adult's tone became more embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, young master. You may not know this. Yes, we have indeed developed a new drug that is very effective in boosting mental power and information gland levels. However, this drug is too harmful to the culture medium. The one you chose is the best one we have. If you use the drug on her rashly, she may die before differentiation because she cannot withstand the drug's effects..."
"Su Liang" heard the child's extremely confused question.
"If it dies, I can find another one to cultivate my information gland. Why are you worried about this?"
After saying that, the child walked step by step to the side of "Su Liang". He looked at the "culture medium" fixed in the container through the thick culture dish, as if he was admiring a toy.
The moment he saw the child's face, "Su Liang" opened his eyes wide in shock.
