Chapter 56 Insomnia Grasped the Last Straw

The disinfection system was working and there was an unpleasant smell in the air.

Zhong Wenxi was seen sitting up from the hospital bed, resting his arms on the edge of the bed, with his back to the medical robot, receiving pheromone isolation spray treatment.

Omega frowned slightly, obviously not feeling well, and the cypress smell that accidentally stained his body was gradually dissipating.

When Ascle saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of Ji He. At that time, Sergeant Beta was also silently receiving treatment.

Ascle's heart felt a little blocked, and he let out a long sigh.

The computer was beeping with notification sounds, and one report after another was full of rumors, all saying that Zhong Wenxi and Huo Yubai were about to get married.

"These people don't know anything and are talking nonsense!"

Doctor Zhong pursed her lips with some displeasure. She was still a little scared when she thought about what had just happened. Fortunately, Colonel Huo did not lose his mind at the last moment.

She didn't want to be marked by an Alpha for no reason.

Ascle walked to the bedside and asked, "Does your family know about this?"

"Um."

Zhong Wenxi looked at Askler and continued, "At first, they wanted me to get in touch with Colonel Huo, but then they heard some gossip from somewhere and let me make the decision on my own."

Ascle's fingers tapped the table unconsciously, and he asked calmly, "Do you believe those claims?"

The medical robot slowly retreated, and Dr. Zhong stood up and replied, "Rumors stop with the wise."

"At least from what I've seen over the past few days, I think Colonel Huo is different from what has been rumored. He looks cold, but he is a polite and responsible person."

"When he comes to the Capital Star again, I will thank him very much."

"It seems that this incident has made you like him better."

Zhong Wenxi admitted: "A little bit, but not in that aspect."

"Who says that fate has to be about love and affection? I just don't want to do that."

Ascle on the side smiled and applauded.

Zhong Wenxi turned his stiff neck and continued, "His insomnia and depression are so serious, but he still lets them go. If I were his attending physician, I would be so worried."

Ascleus sighed. As a doctor who knew the patient's inner feelings, he said, "Heart disease needs heart medicine."

Doctor Zhong was stunned, and naturally understood the other party's implicit meaning. He considerately did not ask any further questions.

It seems that the rumors are not groundless.

There are many eyes on the Capital Star staring at the Guan, Zhong and Huo families. If the Alpha really marks the Omega, things will probably be much more complicated than they are now.

Colonel Huo, who was rumored to be a romantic and amorous man, was now sitting on a military medical bed with a pale face.

The wound on the Alpha gland had been sutured, and the exposed flesh should have healed, but it broke again due to the fatigue.

"Colonel Huo, I need to treat your wound."

Huo Yubai changed into a commander's uniform and wore a military cap, the brim of which obscured most of his expression.

The medic's operation was very skilled, but the injury was in this location, so it was bound to be painful to treat.

In the shadows, Colonel Huo frowned, wondering if Ji He, who was bitten on the neck by him at that time, felt the same pain.

After the others left, Alpha put a white sterile patch on his neck again, and still maintained the sitting posture.

The portholes of the spaceship are elliptical, and countless gorgeous nebulae are left behind by this high-speed vehicle.

Alpha closed his eyes for a moment, then stood up and walked to the porthole.

He was getting closer and closer to the Fire Star.

Ever since he failed to find Ji He on Tong Planet, Huo Yubai hoped to find some trace of him every time he went out.

But there was nothing.

Ji He seemed to have evaporated from the world.

The black military boots stepped on the orange-red land, making a dull sound. It turned out that Colonel Huo had set foot on the Mars Star.

"Colonel."

Most people in the federal military knew about Huo Yubai, a rising star. Although they did not understand why he asked to be stationed on the Ice Planet, they still showed him due respect.

"For the Federation."

Colonel Huo looked solemn and slowly saluted. His gray-green cloak was blown up by the hot hunting wind.

Not far away, the hundreds-meter-high sound barrier cannot block the noise of red iron ore mining, and the sound of mechanical vibration can always be heard.

Most of the ordinary privates stationed on Mars are Alphas with pheromone levels below D, and Xu Tianyang is one of them.

Given Xu Tianyang's rank in the army, he naturally didn't know that Colonel Huo was here and was foolishly keeping watch for his comrades.

The golden energy barrier opened, and Colonel Huo, surrounded by a group of lieutenants, just passed by Xu Tianyang who was looking straight ahead.

"Colonel."

Huo Yubai only spoke lightly, and raised his eyes to look at Colonel Claude who was wearing a bite stopper.

Claude saw Huo Yubai and slowly stood up. Perhaps affected by the S-level Alph signal factor, the detection bracelet on his wrist started beeping again.

“Here you are.”

Colonel Claude didn't exchange much greetings. He simply introduced the situation of the base and planned to hand it over to Huo Yubai.

"Yes, I understand."

Huo Yubai turned his face to the side, just revealing a white sterile dressing.

Claude was stunned when he saw this. He didn't know about the accident that happened at the celebrity banquet on the capital star, so he asked, "Who hurt you?"

After asking this question, the colonel finally realized that an Alpha like Huo Yubai, whose pheromone level could not be lowered even by the genetic virus, could be hurt by anyone.

"It was me."

Claude expressed deep sympathy, pointed at the bite guard on his face, and said jokingly: "Why don't you get one too."

Huo Yubai looked serious and asked in a low voice, "Will this be uncomfortable to wear?"

"Not bad."

It just doesn't look very nice, like something a dog would wear.

Colonel Claude actually didn't want to wear this thing because he was such a jerk during his last susceptible period and scared his Omega.

Now his wife accompanies him in the army, with the only condition being that he wears the bracelet and bite guard properly.

"There's no other way. For the sake of family harmony."

As Claude spoke, he put two pills to relieve pheromone disorder into his mouth and swallowed them.

"What do you think is the code to this bite stopper?"

Huo Yubai certainly couldn't guess it, nor did he understand why the other party said this, so he shook his head.

"My wife and I's wedding anniversary."

“Time flies by so damn fast.”

“It was just a blink of an eye.”

Colonel Huo said nothing about the sudden appearance of dog food. He stood up and prepared to deal with the work at the base.

"By the way, you will pass by the Glorious Legion on your way here. Did you stop by to see Admiral Huo?"

Huo Yubai lowered his eyes, pursed his lips into a straight line, and answered coldly, "No."

Claude raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he and Huo Yingzhan did not agree, as the elder of these young people, he still wanted to say a few words of advice.

"I have known Huo Yingzhan for such a long time, and I have never seen him give in or bow his head. He is a general in the outside world and the head of the family at home. The burden is heavier than you think."

Huo Yubai remained silent and took a deep breath.

"Does the Colonel expect me to understand him?"

Claude was stunned, and said, "That's not what I meant."

"I just think that we are a family, so there is no overnight hatred."

"The tragedy of my mother and father, and Ji He's departure, weren't they the result of my grandfather's willful behavior?"

Huo Yubai's tone was calm, but beneath his words there was an undercurrent of storm slowly surging.

"Not only do I not understand him, I don't want to understand him."

Huo Yingzhan is a person with too strong a desire for control. If anything goes against his wishes, he will not let you off easily.

Such a person can become an iron-blooded warrior who keeps his word, but he is destined to be far away from family happiness.

Mars has no day and night changes, and relies entirely on optical networks to simulate day and night to coordinate with human work and rest.

The wind at night is not as hot as during the day, but it carries the moisture steaming up from the ground, making people feel uncomfortable.

The communicator on Xu Tianyang's waist finally rang twice. He was finally able to change shifts and was preparing to return to the dormitory to rest.

"I lied to that stutterer, and he actually believed me. He was so stupid."

"Just hide away!"

Xu Tianyang stood at the door of the dormitory, his finger joints turning white from the force of holding the handle.

He thought they were friends.

Alpha slowly let go of the door handle, lowered his head, and even his sleepiness disappeared. He walked away with his head down.

If he had encountered this kind of thing before, Xu Tianyang might have really been stubborn and argued with people, but now he just wanted to quietly stay away from people who treated him badly.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure.

Xu Tianyang rubbed his sore eyes and said in disbelief: "Colonel?"

Huo Yubai's mood had already calmed down. When he heard Xu Tianyang's voice, he turned around and said "hmm".

"I...I'm Xu Tianyang."

"Colonel, do you still remember me?"

Xu Tianyang scratched the back of his head as he spoke, still looking silly.

Colonel Huo nodded and replied, "I remember."

Ji He put a lot of thought into this soldier, hoping that he could stay and become a qualified fighter.

It can be said that Instructor Ji spent so much time on Xu Tianyang that even Huo Yubai felt a little dissatisfied. How could he forget the Alpha in front of him?

"Why don't you take a rest at this time?"

Huo Yubai took out a cigarette, and in his other hand he held the lighter that Ji He gave him, stroking it for a long time.

"I can't sleep."

"Colonel, can't sleep either?"

Colonel Huo, who had suffered from insomnia for a long time, did not answer. He just nodded while biting the cigarette, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The man's back of his hand was bent into a ferry facing the night wind, and the flame from the silver lighter stopped there, well protected.

"They said the instructor left because of the colonel. Is that true?"

Xu Tianyang suddenly stopped stuttering, and his sentences became smooth and fluent.

He blinked, as if waiting for an answer.

As the fire lit up, in that chilly night, an orange-red clematis seemed to bloom between Alpha's lips.

Then, he exhaled white smoke slowly.

Colonel Huo did not answer but asked, "What else did you hear?"

Xu Tianyang bit his lower lip, deleted all the unbearable words, and said, "The instructor is very good."

"You can't trust anything they say."

Suddenly, Colonel Huo's fingers began to tremble as he said, "They also said that Ji He was dead, right?"

This was the first time that Huo Yubai mentioned the word "death" directly, and his heart trembled as he said it.

Xu Tianyang frowned, making his already small eyes even smaller, and said word by word: "No."

Huo Yubai seemed to have grasped the last straw and repeated anxiously, "No."

Jihe, far away in the Andromeda Galaxy, woke up at this time.
