Chapter 45 Date
"Next," he ruffled her hair and said softly, "see what else I have prepared for you."
The quantum clock ticked, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. In the constant flow of time inside the spiritual connection capsule, there were still 31 minutes to reach the wormhole material ejection safe point B measured by Kress.
Those are the coordinates of temporary farewell in time and space.
Fitzgerald gave her his space button, which contained five capsules of military supplies for survival in the wild. He opened one of them and told her how to access it and the key points in its use.
Su Xi took a look and found that in addition to basic survival supplies and weapons and protection, there were also energy supplements, drinking water generators, positioning signal devices, multi-purpose nanorobots... well, there was also a light board with games to kill time and a manual for the current stage of spiritual power training...
Then he turned around to look at the AI mini mech that was being charged and maintained. In the originally tidy docking cabin, there was a pile of unused mech materials in a corner. If he was just waiting at the static coordinates, a supply capsule would be enough, and the mini mech would not be needed at all.
Then he lowered his eyes to look at the liquid silver armor that was still and fitting on his wrist. This wasn't a must-have item.
Su Xi blinked, and her thoughts suddenly drifted to the day when her adoptive mother carefully packed her luggage for her first time when she went to college in another city on her own.
Yeah. Same endless meticulousness. Same pile of unnecessary stuff.
This man——
He is very attentive.
Fitzgerald raised his head and saw the amber eyes in front of him slowly filling with tiny bits of light.
The omega rested his chin on one hand, his upper body bent over the platform where he was organizing his weapons, and looked at him with great concentration, the light and sweet scent of magnolia wafting in the air.
The green top note of omega dissipates into an alluring and rich middle note, while the base note is permeated with a kind of distant sadness.
His fingers moved slightly, and he couldn't help but walk over and hold her in his arms. She was very obedient and let him hold her, so obedient that he wanted to rub her harder. The faint alpha scent in the air gradually began to become hot and thick. He couldn't help but hold her tighter, lowered his head and rubbed his lips on her soft hair twice.
However, the quantum clock beside him was ticking and reminding him, so he restrained himself and kept a distance.
"This is for you," he stroked her eyebrows with his fingers and reminded her carefully: "Make sure you wear it well."
Then he put it on her slender neck.
The myelin material removed from the Dark Flame's neural connection system was woven into several extremely fine silver chains intertwined together. The pendant was a transparent mini air bubble, which was made of the same material as the defensive air bubble they used to avoid space storms.
This beautiful silver chain pendant is worn to rest just below the collarbone.
Inside the crystal-like mini air bubble, there is a tiny piece of matter that keeps changing between the color of extreme red flame and extreme icy blue.
Reflected in her eyes was a cluster of flickering light.
Su Xi couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
"This is... me." He looked at her intently and answered honestly.
"Hmm?" Su Xi was confused and signaled him with her eyes to explain in more detail.
Fitzgerald accurately understood what she meant from her subtle look. He smiled gently and stroked her lips repeatedly with his fingers, but he did not explain in depth, but instead gave her detailed instructions again.
"This is what I'm going to use to find you."
"Wear it."
"It will help you advance. Once your mental power threshold is raised by three more levels, you can slowly digest it."
"Okay, I believe you." Su Xi grabbed his messy fingers and bit them. Her sharp teeth rubbed them twice, but she was not very successful and only left a very shallow mark.
"Then I won't ask any more questions."
"I'll wear it."
Looking at her solemn answer on her delicate face, a feeling of great satisfaction filled his chest! Fitzgerald finally could no longer suppress his emotions, and the Alph secrets filled with possessiveness exploded in the air! It was an extremely arrogant and pleased public declaration!
He lowered his eyes to half-cover his lustful expression, and his fingers with the small teeth marks once again fiercely stroked her lips. Before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her lips again quickly, fiercely and accurately.
*
Tick-tick - the quantum clock shows the different speeds of time flowing.
The two people in the wormhole experienced a long space storm together, prepared various materials for landing, and even Su Xi successfully completed the upgrade in this small mecha cabin. The two people also opened their hearts and started talking.
However, in the First Fortress, the passage of time was no longer than that of a meeting which lasted half an afternoon.
Zerg core defense fortifications, mental connection repair cabin. Special surveillance room outside.
The atmosphere, which had just relaxed, became tense and solemn again.
"Answer me, little Albert."
Nader chuckled and repeated the sentence again. His white-gloved hand slowly withdrew the gemstone scepter that was against the last isolation door, and tapped it lightly with his hand.
Click-tap-tap——extremely subtle friction sounds were heard one after another.
The guards on both sides drew their guns and loaded them again. The alpha molecules with a stronger smell of gunpowder collided in the air like carbon explosions, becoming more and more fierce and arrogant!
In the increasingly solemn atmosphere, this blonde Beta appears even more elegant and calm.
In this situation, Albert froze for a while, then forced a smile on his face, "Of course it's His Highness himself inside, and as for where Chris is? You can ask His Highness in person."
"Although I am half a level higher than Chris, her work has always been independent. Without your Highness's warrant, I have no way of knowing the specific details. Your Excellency the Duke, you overestimate me."
"Please!" he said helplessly and could only move aside.
Nadel smiled, stepped over the protective doors again, and came to the last transparent barrier door again.
However, the scene before him made his eyes freeze slightly.
The red-haired alpha was sitting naked in front of the medical cabin, looking at him with raised eyebrows, a little impatient.
The staff of the Medical Department were testing the body data. One of them, a short-haired beta holding a light board and recording, was advising: "Your Highness, you need to lie down for another three hours for this recovery course. You came out too early this time, which will affect the effect of the subsequent courses."
Then the other staff members glanced vaguely at the "uninvited guests" brought in by Albert.
Albert shrugged his shoulders, but Nader continued to smile, unaffected.
"Duke, is there anything else you can advise me?" he asked calmly.
"I'm sorry to bother you," Nader said with a polite and graceful nod. "Since I've been away for a long time, I'll be back in the capital soon. His Majesty has an invitation to the New Year's Day celebration, and he has asked me to bring it in person. You've been absent for ten consecutive years, and His Majesty hopes that you can come and celebrate the New Year this year."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will attend the New Year's Day ceremony." The red-haired alpha stood up and cooperated with the medical staff's examination, nodding slightly in the direction of Nadel in response.
There seemed to be no conversation between the two. Nader narrowed his eyes. He still felt something was wrong, but -
"Haha! Little Nana, long time no see! You came to visit Fitz too!"
A familiar burst of hearty laughter was heard, and Nadel turned his head helplessly, and saw Holdman Payne with a silver-colored crew cut striding towards him.
An extremely strong alpha scent dispelled the tense atmosphere between the guards of both sides.
The alpha warriors on both sides put away their weapons and returned to their original positions with expressionless faces.
Holderman came over, patted Nader on the shoulder, and then ruffled his hair.
"It's been about 30 years since we last met?" Holderman raised his head and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "I watched you grow up, and now you are all doing great!"
"Master, nice to meet you." Nadel smiled bitterly, his smooth blond hair had been ruffled. Having experienced three generations of imperial power, Holderman was an extremely special existence, but he was also a duke after all. Being called 'Little Nana' again was really an unpleasant experience.
After saying hello, Holdman didn't bother with his tangle anymore. He just turned around and carefully checked the recovery status of the red-haired alpha.
"How do you feel, Fitz?" Squinting his eyes, Holdman looked at the red-haired alpha who was being carefully examined by medical staff. He frowned slightly and said, "You are too reckless! Introducing the insect core spirit into your own brain to strangle it. It is so impulsive and thoughtless!"
The red-haired alpha turned his head and glanced at Holdman, then replied calmly, "Thank you for your concern."
Very good! This is very Fitzgerald style!
Nader smiled, his barely perceptible eyes scanning both sides of the conversation.
Holdman's face turned red with anger, and the furious alpha signal exploded in the air without a doubt. The alpha warriors on both sides tensed their backs in response!
The angry 'old man' grabbed Nader and walked out, "Let's go! Leave this boring and uninteresting guy alone! Dead face! No fun!"
"Come on, little Nana, let's go have a drink! Tell me what interesting things have happened in Yindu over the past hundred years!"
"That old peacock Antonio has his eyes on that omega again?"
"Has the 'precious seed' issue been resolved?"
Only then were they pulled away one after another.
Nader's helpless voice floated from afar, "Master, you can call me whatever you want, but please use the real name of His Majesty..."
The staff of the Medical Department put down their work, and the tall figure being examined on the chair slowly disappeared as the 3D projection was turned off.
The staff nodded to Albert and closed the door again.
Albert chuckled and followed slowly.
*
In the heart of the mecha Dark Flame silently guarding.
This sudden kiss did not last long. The red-haired alpha swallowed and sucked wildly and passionately, rubbing the omega's originally pale lips in his arms red.
Before Su Xi could react, Fitzgerald was slightly satisfied and then restrainedly let her go. Only the remaining alpha scent in the air still domineeringly lingered around his omega.
Su Xi blinked, then suddenly grabbed his collar to stop him from leaving.
Looking seriously into his eyes, she said, "I seem to..."
Seeing her slightly hesitant expression, Fitzgerald leaned forward slightly again, a gesture of listening attentively.
"Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, urging her to continue.
"I think I'm attracted to you."
Fitzgerald was caught off guard by the confession and his breath was taken away. He just stood there in a daze.
"In this case, we should be considered in love!"
Before he could feel the surge of joy sweeping through his body, the short honey-brown-haired omega continued to speak out her thoughts. It should have been a shy confession, but she stated her position and attitude with seriousness and earnestness.
"You should also know that I don't fit in with the current social norms. I can't meet the standard of responsibility that an omega is required to meet in the conventional sense..."
"Even if it's 'falling in love', I hope it's just 'falling in love' now."
"I can't promise too far..."
"I'm sorry you seem to have made up your mind, but I—"
She looked at the alpha in front of her whose face was becoming increasingly gloomy. High-level pheromone suppression involuntarily emanated from him, as if the scorching sun had not yet exhausted its residual heat when it was swept away by dark clouds.
"I'm not sure if I can make it to the end."
Under the pressure of a pheromone storm, she carefully chose her words and said what had been lingering in her heart for a long time: "If you feel that there is something inappropriate during the contact later, I hope that when you propose to break up, we can discuss it properly."
There was a suffocating silence.
Fitzgerald felt a sense of absurd unreality, and an unprecedented emotional shock hit him. For the first time, he felt that his self-control did not exist.
The angered and provoked alpha signal gradually condensed into a storm in the air.
Su Xi now has a physiological dizziness reaction, which is a physical reaction under the suppression of high-level alpha hormones. She doesn't feel any discomfort in her heart.
Because of the huge difference in their concepts, she could only try her best to express her attitude.
"Okay." He uttered a word with restraint through his tightly pursed lips.
"Huh?"
"I said yes!" This was a hint of anger rising up from under the restraint. He restrained himself again, and then it rose up again. The Alph signal that revealed a bad mood was almost so strong that it could be seen with the naked eye.
Two inches to the left of Su Xi's neck, the omega gland sensor began to emit a trembling feeling, feeling cold and icy under the repeated pressure of alpha hormones.
The petite body trembled slightly, and the face turned pale uncontrollably; that was the instinct of the omega body.
Su Xi lowered her eyes, clenched her right hand to try to suppress the trembling of her body, but in her heart she thought indifferently, with the physical properties of omegas in this ABO era, once they were marked, they would be trapped!
Starting from the superficial marking and obedience to the final completion marking, step by step, whether it is emotional reaction, body's instinctive attachment, or spiritual attachment and obedience, everything inside and out must produce a sense of absolute obedience to the marked alpha.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that such a relationship is extremely abnormal and terrible.
But blindly going against her body's instinctive reactions and blindly resisting are not Su Xi's style. She has never been a self-abuse person.
What's more.
She looked up at this man who was on the verge of exploding but was perfectly controlling himself.
If he has always been this gentle and reasonable, then it's worth getting in touch with him.
I remembered what a good friend once said, that good boyfriends are all trained by smart girlfriends. She has no interest in training, but she can try to get along with them.
Moreover, her body was in a special condition, and the rules of cell collapse and regeneration were different from those of ordinary people in this era. She had chosen the second option without hesitation on the Sun Swallow, choosing to rely on raising her "mental power threshold" to save her life which was about to end.
Every level you cross is both life and death.
She had gotten through the previous two upgrades on her own, and this time she was lucky to have his careful protection, what about the next time? In this era, she had no relatives or friends, if she didn't get through the next upgrade...
So, there was a person who sometimes had a bad temper but was not terrible, who was willing to accompany her in a short love affair.
It’s also very good and very profitable.
The most important thing is that she is not without feelings for him.
These disturbing thoughts flashed through her mind. Looking at the alpha in front of her with a solemn expression and no words,
She felt a little sorry.
Su Xi tried to use the ABO social common sense she had gained from Naya's memory to change her position and experience the current feelings of this alpha... Hmm. It seems that she will be really furious.
As for whether she owed him anything, that was not the case. The average life span of alphas in this era was much longer than that of the other two genders. An alpha would often experience three omegas in his lifetime, especially for an excellent evolver like him. So whether she lived an extra 10, 20, or 100 or 200 years, it would make no difference to him.
"I don't mean to offend you. But it would be unfair to you if I don't say it now." The voice was a little apologetic and trembling.
But in Fitzgerald's view, the petite omega had a pale face and was trembling slightly, but he had the courage to say such sharp and heart-wrenching words!
And he had to restrain himself from getting angry! The spiritual level gap between him and her was too great, and the natural suppression of omega by alpha hormones was too much for her special and fragile body to bear!
Fitzgerald took a deep breath and said very slowly, "I understand your resistance and fear of being 'marked'. I have reviewed your UFO information. So -"
"I understand you!"
"I will be patient enough."
The tall figure looked down at her, the red-haired alpha's face was cold, and he easily blocked out all the light above her.
"But I don't want you to think about it too long."
She was silent for only a moment.
"Do you...really understand me?"
Su Xi, who was shrouded in a shadow, looked up and asked without showing any weakness.
The two looked at each other, but the atmosphere around them fell into silence like the dark night.
Beep——
Just at this moment, Chris's quantum communication called.
Fitzgerald took a deep breath and walked over to answer Chris's call.
"Your Highness, all preparations are complete! The survey equipment you need at point A is ready to be deployed!"
"I will personally lead a team to pick up Miss Naya at point B, and will be waiting to meet you within three weeks."
"The shuttle-type Sun Swallow is also ready at the designated coordinates."
Chris completed the report neatly according to the work flow.
Fitzgerald: "What is the time velocity difference at point B?"
Chris said: "The time delivery error at point B is between 8 hours and 5.2 weeks, and the probability of error will not exceed 10%."
"Okay, try to be as accurate as possible."
"yes!"
After hanging up the call with Chris, Fitzgerald perfectly restrained his pheromones that had been raging and almost out of control, and returned to the perfect image of the usually indifferent prince of the empire.
The quantum clock was cut off and then started again.
The ticking sound echoed silently.
He unfolded the three-dimensional holographic star map, and the lights in the small spiritual docking cabin gradually dimmed, and thousands of stars shone among them. As Fitzgerald searched for the target star cluster, countless star clusters shuttled through the gap between the two of them like swimming fish.
"This is the star map of the 'Great Wilderness Star Region'. You will land here."
He pointed to her through the light map of the two galaxies, and the bright and dim light made his expression unclear.
"Come closer."
"oh."
Su Xi approached, and she instinctively felt the danger, and dared not disobey, nor move. Then she was trapped in someone's arms again.
He didn't mention what happened just now, but just held her properly, and with his other hand he demonstrated to her the details of landing and what to do if anything unexpected happened.
"We will pass by this location in fifteen minutes. We will use the temporary balance created by the collision between the wormhole and the space energy of the Great Wilderness Star Region itself to allow you to land naturally in this safest area.
"But the matter will be reassembled when it exits the wormhole, and everything you experience in the wormhole will be lost..."
Su Xi suddenly grasped the key word "loss" and reviewed the common sense of this era in her mind. She asked him for confirmation in a very slow tone:
"That is to say, after I get out of this wormhole, I will be different from who I am now? After the matter is reorganized, I should be more similar to who I was before I fell into the wormhole?"
"Well." The man looked down at her in a very cold tone and said slowly: "Material loss will result in errors and residues."
"Then I...can I still remember you?"
"I don't know." An extremely cold tone.
Su Xi glanced at his unhappy face and asked very carefully, "Then will you remember everything that happened?"
"I will," Fitzgerald softened his tone at her pitiful look and explained to her objectively, "Because of the different levels of your mental power, you can't keep your scattered memory at the moment."
"oh."
She just said 'oh'?
Fitzgerald narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt that he was crazy for being angry with her.
"I have saved the data in Xiguang's memory and processed it specially. Even if you don't remember it, you won't lose the data from this period."
"Don't worry."
"Is there any other solution?"
"Deep link with me and level up immediately with my help," Fitzgerald asked her in an ambiguous tone, "Are you...willing?"
"What do you mean?"
"The good thing is that within the maximum range of what your body can bear, you will reach the highest spiritual level that your genetic potential can reach in a short period of time."
"The downside is that you lose the possibility of free advancement."
Su Xi was silent. Is that so? So this man didn't tell her about this possibility from the beginning.
She laughed: "You know me so well?"
"I really don't want to."
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if I'm the only one who remembers you. I will remember you." He took her hand and opened it to look at it carefully, playing with her slender white fingers, and said calmly: "No matter where you are, I can find you."
Su Xi looked at his expression and was speechless.
"I'm going to forget everything here soon. Aren't you happy?"
There was no expression on the usually cold face of this red-haired alpha, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in his cold eyes.
But it was that unspeakable meaning that made Su Xi feel as if something had grabbed her heart.
She suddenly wanted to give him a farewell hug, and so she did.
"Thank you." She said into his chest.
In response to her, she was embraced even more passionately. However, the throbbing Alph Xisu was extremely restrained and did not make any further moves.
The quantum clock ticks. Time is passing faster and faster.
The last half minute. A long, requested kiss.
He held her face in his hands and rubbed it tentatively with the tip of his nose. He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes half hid his expression.
"Is it okay?"
Su Xi accepted it with a clear mind. Unlike the previous ambiguous relationship between the two, one was always entangled and unconscious, while the other was always wild and overbearing. This kiss seemed gentle and affectionate.
Like a gentle breeze blowing across a tender rose, or like stardust scattered over a gurgle stream under the moonlight.
The dark and cold mecha Anyan spread out its six wings of light, and the light blade formed by pure energy in the void forcefully broke through the wormhole.
From the 3D sandbox simulated by AI Xingyue, Chris saw that the artificial wormhole that was originally twisted into a knot on the space surface was flattened by a powerful force.
The strange fluctuations in time and space gradually dissipated.
The man in the Dark Flame mecha control cabin had a soft and fragrant scent between his lips and tongue a second ago.
The next second, at the precisely calculated time for the safe material to be thrown away, the soft and fragrant body collapsed like fine sand as the space rippled slightly, until the ripples subsided——
My arms are empty.
The illusion from the worm's dream came back, and the small escape capsule once again floated away from his fingertips.
It didn't matter, he could tell it was just an illusion.
Beep beep - the quantum communication that Chris called was connected again, and An Yan had already driven out of the sub-type III wormhole space. In the normal three-dimensional space and time, everything returned to normal.
The holographic video signal also restores perfect three-dimensional communication imaging.
To Chris, who was on the other side of the quantum three-dimensional communication, everything was the same as usual. The first heir to the throne of the empire, with a cold and indifferent expression, was still resolute and decisive, and his orders were clear.
Chris: "Your Highness?"
However, he opened his lips, paused for two seconds almost imperceptibly, and then acted as decisively as always -
"Chris, give me the coordinates of point A."
"yes!"
Everything was as usual, receiving orders and carrying out tasks. Chris did not notice that Fitzgerald was any different from usual.
The newly modified antimatter engine of Dark Flame started up, roaring silently in the silent universe. The flames ignited by the material reaction of the energy pile swept across the fuselage. The dark and cold appearance of the mecha revealed the extremely arrogant flame totem that Chris was proud of.
The six wings of light are folded, and as always, they move forward firmly towards the predetermined coordinates.
Outside the mecha cabin, the universe is lonely and thousands of stars are drifting.
