“I’m not an Omega,” Chi Jiazhen said softly. “Long hair is just a family habit…” He smiled a little embarrassedly, “On my planet, people are used to having long hair.”
Of course it's a lie.
Perhaps because the Empire mandated that all Omegas must have long hair, and there were also some Omegas within the military academy, Chi Jiazhen was not required to cut her long hair upon enrollment.
Lou Miao'an's expression became even more guilty upon hearing this, and his face turned red again, as if he was ashamed of his slip of the tongue.
Chi Jiazhen was slightly taller than Cen Yu, and when he looked down at Lou Miao'an, he was practically looking down at him. Although he wore a smile on his face, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
To put on airs.
He thought to himself.
Why would a Beta like Cen Yu, and what about this?
His gaze involuntarily turned to Li Chonghe, who was watching them chat. He couldn't understand how Cen Yu had suddenly become the head of the dormitory department. He knew a little about the connection between Cen Shen and this second prince... but unexpectedly, Li Chonghe hadn't mentioned this matter to Cen Shen at all. He wondered what selfish motives Li Chonghe had for concealing this information.
The people in the dormitory quickly smoothed things over.
They warmly welcomed Chi Jiazhen's arrival, and then explained to her that Xiaolou was shy, and since his family consisted mostly of Omegas and Alphas, he always had preconceived notions and thought that all beautiful people were Omegas.
Chi Jiazhen smiled and accepted the explanation from the dormitory.
Seeing that Chi Jiazhen had made all the arrangements, Li Chonghe took his leave.
...
When Cen Yu returned to her dormitory, she found Lan Yao sitting on the sofa looking at something.
"You're back?" Lan Yao looked up at Cen Yu.
As soon as he entered the door, Cen Yu unbuttoned his stand-up collar uniform, then took off his school uniform jacket and threw it onto the empty space on the sofa.
"The youngest son of that person from the Federation, has he really enrolled in school?" Lan Yao asked immediately afterward.
“Yes.” Cen Yu paused, racking his brains, but couldn’t recall the matter spreading on a large scale… He looked at Lan Yao suspiciously, “Where did you get this information?”
Lan Yao pointed to his communicator.
Cen Yu leaned over to take a look, and the moment he saw the title, he felt his vision go black.
"Damn it!" he couldn't help but curse under his breath, "They're even spying on the dormitory supervisor's office?!"
He frowned as he spoke, "Is no one going to do anything about this?"
Lan Yao nonchalantly covered the other post with his fingertip: "Am I the only one who thinks Cen Yu is...?" He said meaningfully, "No one ever cares about things in the Black Mud Zone. Since they can eavesdrop on the inside of the office, they must have installed something else."
Cen Yu didn't notice Lan Yao's subtle movements. He looked down at the post and quickly realized an important message.
"Did he really disappear into the Zerg's living area?"
The Zerg living area is a pseudo-concept. After all, apart from their home planet, the Zerg spend the rest of their time expanding everywhere... The so-called living area is, in other words, a densely populated area of the Zerg. Although high-ranking Zerg can transform into human-like forms, they are still different from humans.
If the mech runs out of energy and falls into this place, even if the marshal has a strong body and superb mental strength, he probably won't survive.
And Cen Yu also remembered something... that person's health wasn't very good right now.
He searched for information about "Wen Zhen" after thinking about it. Even though the relationship between the Federation and the Empire was delicate, they shared the same Star Network. Searching for Wen Zhen naturally brought up a lot of information. The last time he appeared was a year ago. The person in the photo was wearing a Federation military uniform, with white hair and a thin figure. He looked more like a researcher in the public's perception than a Federation marshal.
"His last appearance was a year ago?" Cen Yu checked the date.
Although it is said that Wen Zhen himself does not like to show his face, Cen Yu has heard about the power struggles in the Federation. It seems that Wen Zhen did not want to get involved in these matters, so he simply went into seclusion, saying that he was recuperating from the old wounds left after the last battle with the King Worm.
"Then why would he go to the Zerg living area?" Cen Yu looked at Lan Yao. This was not mentioned at all on the StarNet, so it seemed to be inside information.
"I heard there was a malfunction in the space jump technology," Lan Yao said. "We were originally going to Wen Zhen's private planet, but somehow we accidentally jumped to the Zerg's living area..."
He thought for a moment and then said, "To be precise, it's still some distance from the residential area, but there's only one garbage planet left in that area."
There are almost no resources on the garbage planet, let alone energy blocks to supply the mechs. If Wen Zhen really falls near this planet, it's only a matter of time before the Zerg discover it.
Moreover, Wenzhen is an Alpha, with a fixed susceptible period... I've heard that this will also attract the attention of the insects.
In addition, the insects always brought Alphas with them in the previous wars, and even though the Federation still didn't make any moves, everyone felt that Wen Zhen was probably in grave danger.
"There's no movement here?" Cen Yu wondered.
Although the Federation and the Empire are no longer at war, he believes the Empire would never give up such a good opportunity.
Lan Yao beckoned with his finger.
Cen Yu immediately realized that he wanted to tell a secret, so he leaned closer.
Seeing Cen Yu lean closer, Lan Yao reached out and brushed some strands of hair away from his ears before whispering in his ear—
"You forgot, the eldest prince is also in a coma."
"There are two more heirs."
Lan Yao reminded Cen Yu to be wary of the Second Prince and the Omega Princess.
Originally, the throne shouldn't have been a matter for these two, but since the eldest prince remained unconscious, their supporters have begun to expand their activities... Bai Jinyu has been so anxious lately because the eldest prince has been unable to wake up for so long.
Under these circumstances, even knowing that the Federation's leader was temporarily missing, the Empire dared not act rashly, thus creating a strange balance.
"Besides," Lan Yao stepped back slightly, "our top priority is... isn't this a competition?"
Which faction were you assigned to?
Lan Yao immediately revealed his own side, "It seems that Sang Huaizhou and I have both been assigned to the red camp."
—The plot is the same as the original work.
Cen Yu thought to herself, "Where is Wen Xihe?"
"Are you very concerned about Wen Xihe?" Lan Yao asked immediately.
"I just don't want to be grouped with poor Alphas."
"Wen Xihe is in the blue camp."
Hearing this, Cen Yu was completely relieved... He then turned on his communicator and decided to check the results of his faction's draw.
When the huge blue icon appeared in front of him, he blinked instinctively.
—Hey, I'm not colorblind, am I?
This doesn't look green?
"...Is this what the green icon of the Imperial Military Academy looks like?" Cen Yu couldn't help but ask.
Lan Yao glanced at the glaring blue and said, "Congratulations."
"You and Wen Xihe have been assigned to the same camp."
