Chapter 89 Hand in hand date

"Come out."

Su Xi didn't move.

Fitzgerald, who was waiting outside, frowned slightly.

When other people's omegas see their own alpha, even if they don't pounce on him tenderly, at least they won't avoid him again and again. At this moment, he subconsciously filtered out the decisive "dismemberment" behavior of this "tender and soft" omega not long ago.

Why?

Fitzgerald felt a little anxious as he thought of the possibilities.

Is it that their pheromones don't match? He thought of the AO matching report that he had kept with the utmost confidentiality, the 'perfect AO matching rate' that would attract the interests of all parties if it were circulated.

For a match rate of that value, whether or not the mark is officially broken is no longer a necessary condition for "dominance" and "submission".

Did she dislike him? He recalled their encounter in the 'web' she had built, the emotional fluctuations that could not be concealed. He was sure of her feelings, she did not dislike him.

Why is that?

Tick-tick——

He put his slender fingers together and bent them slightly, and tapped lightly on the metal knuckles of the Dark Flame mecha. The crisp sound silently urged the people inside.

Fitzgerald quickly filtered through the relevant information he had searched for during the break in his mission. But whether it was the textbook-like standard AO interaction rules or the actual combat cases shared in the secret forums, he could not find any.

I have never encountered such a situation.

The red-haired alpha with a cold face felt a little frustrated. After he controlled the brain of the leaping worm, he admitted that he was a little out of control when he saw her. If it was according to the guidance case, it should be an emotional backlash caused by the excessive pressure on the omega.

So now he has gathered his emotions and comes to see her.

And according to the steps indicated in the best practical feedback plan, the three principles of 'leaving appropriate space', 'patience' and 'waiting for the omega to approach you' were perfectly implemented.

But it doesn't work?

Whether it was the long-term planning of the command system, the actual combat of the mecha department, the Zerg battlefield, or the political whirlpool of the AB power struggle, Fitzgerald had never encountered such a helpless moment.

"Suxi."

Pursing his lips slightly, he called her again.

Still no movement.

What does Su Xi think?

She was feeling a mixture of indescribable emotions a second ago, her heart was pounding with panic, but when she heard the other person calling her name softly, she suddenly felt at ease.

Su Xi complained in her heart. It was either 'come here' or 'come out', a nameless address, and a short phrase of arrogant command. Who would be willing to pay attention to it?

For this man who has the shell of an interstellar omega but is still an ancient earth soul on the inside, the tone of voice that greets kittens and puppies is very unacceptable to modern women with independent personalities.

But for Fitzgerald, unless it was necessary in social occasions, he had to put on a layer of civilized etiquette and chewed on lengthy modifiers in a vain but necessary communication. When facing his own people, he was extremely concise and his tone was almost like giving an order.

For him, softening his tone to this extent was something he had never experienced in his more than 100-year career.

The atmosphere between the two did not last long.

Su Xi calmed down and imitated his previous action. She knocked on the inside of the metal fingers of the Dark Flame Mech with two clicks.

Then she said helplessly in a low voice: "Then you have to open this one too."

Although the sound was very soft and the wind was strong on the sea, this unexpectedly careless alpha still heard it clearly without missing even a single punctuation mark.

At this time, he realized with embarrassment that after he had brought her back with him, he had looked for a rock closest to the shore to put her down. However, he still disliked the harsh environment here and did not let go.

Then I left the mecha cabin without any protection.

The sea breeze blew over, making the wind on the cliff swirl and howl.

They were currently on a rocky beach, the Dark Flame mech still kneeling on one knee in the sea, its hands clasped together as if holding something precious, its huge palm gently placed on a flat, solid rock.

Fitzgerald came back to his senses and reconnected with Dark Flame.

Then, the humanoid mecha's smooth mechanical arms moved slightly, and the two huge hands that were loosely clasped together finally opened completely.

Then, in the palm of the giant mecha.

His beloved omega just appeared in front of him.

The petite girl barely managed to fit into the debugged model of EXO mecha, her entire body wrapped tightly, only through the transparent window of the helmet, the pair of familiar amber eyes staring at him without blinking.

An involuntary smile broke out on Fitzgerald's face, and he held out his hand to her.

In a very gentlemanly manner.

Su Xi couldn't refuse that smile, and she gently placed her hand on the hand that was extended to him.

After holding on and exerting a little force, Su Xi stepped on the flat reef.

Planet BV32-II is not an oxygen-rich planet. Especially in the current turmoil of volcanoes rolling in the distance and magnetic pole adjustments, the particles in the air are electrolyzed and the oxygen content is only maintained at a basic life-sustaining value.

Although she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, Su Xi still noticed that this red-haired alpha had no protective equipment.

"Why aren't you wearing a helmet? Are you okay?"

Su Xi said, wanting to share her oxygen with him. Although her life support backpack was somewhat damaged after the journey underwater, she didn't have much oxygen left.

Fitzgerald stopped her, shook his head, and said, "I don't need it."

Then he approached her and reached out to help her tidy up the damaged parts of the mecha, removing the heavy weapons and the heaviest parts of the exoskeleton that were no longer necessary.

The micro-automatic mechas that were buzzing around came forward and took over the disassembled mecha parts and the large dark blue insect core crystal.

Fitzgerald looked up at the camera and said, "Chris, let me know when you get the latest news from Albert."

"yes!"

"I see."

"Don't worry."

Chris kept replying to the micro mecha's expansion microphone. Su Xi seemed to be able to vaguely hear the black-haired Beta's hidden smile behind his series of replies.

Su Xi blushed after realizing it belatedly.

He held her hand tightly, looking at her palm, which looked much smaller than his own even with the thick nano-gel gloves on.

"Go to the safe house and change it. We still need to wait a week and a half before we can leave here."

The red-haired alpha looked down at the small hand in his hand, then looked up at Su Xi's expression, smiled, and said softly:

"Let's go."

From the perspective of the mecha Anyan, in the chaotic scene where the lava in the distance had not yet extinguished and the sea was turbulent, the two figures intertwined together appeared extremely peaceful and harmonious.

However, along with the sea breeze, there are occasionally one or two not-so-harmonious arguments:

"You are so long-winded! Put me down, I am very heavy."

Indeed, although the EXO mecha on Su Xi has lost the heavy-duty exoskeleton weapon frame, the lower limb power support system and life support backpack retained close to the body are at least as heavy as ten adult alphas.

"This is a triple low-gravity planet."

The red-haired alpha glanced down at the omega in his arms and habitually stated the facts without explaining.

Su Xi choked. Was he bullying her for not having common sense again? Even if it was a planet with three times lower gravity, wouldn't he feel tired carrying all this cumbersome stuff?

Su Xi wanted to struggle, but he held her firmly. Even when he was jumping between rocks, he was as steady as walking on flat ground.

"The lower limb power assist system is intact, I can walk on my own!"

The man holding her ignored her protests and held her a little tighter.

Now he had just jumped over a lava undercurrent. The dark substance was moving very slowly along the trenches, and under the cracked shell of the turtle, one could still see red lava that had not yet completely cooled.

The temperature was quite high, but fortunately the wind was strong and he was moving very fast.

Although Su Xi was safe and sound under the protection of the life-support suit inside the EXO mecha, the scorching temperature could be clearly felt even through the suit.

What's more, judging from the list of external harmful ingredients displayed on the EXO helmet, the outside world is not a particularly comfortable environment for humans.

In this situation, Su Xi stopped her slight struggle and instead took the initiative to hug him closer.

But she wasn't doing it out of fear.

The amber eyes under the helmet moved slightly, and the mecha's intelligent computer quickly recognized her instructions through the "Activision tracking" system.

Beep, beep—the prompt sound rang, and within three seconds, the crude scanning system quickly and carefully scanned the alpha holding her from head to toe.

She was relieved only when she saw that all his body values ​​showed the green color of "healthy" and "normal" and didn't say anything more.

Fitzgerald, of course, felt it first, as he carried her over the last solidified undercurrent of lava.

In the afterglow of the steam, the red-haired alpha looked down at the omega in his arms in surprise, but saw a pair of worried eyes. He smiled again.

Then he slightly tightened his arms around her and explained in a low voice: "I'm fine. Alphas are naturally suited to more severe environments."

"Don't worry."

"Um."

It was not until they reached the relatively calm shallow water reef area that Su Xi once again expressed her protest in a serious manner, because they were getting closer and closer to the crowd.

"Don't you feel tired holding me like this?"

Sensing the slightly fierce look from the omega in his arms, Fitzgerald lowered his head and looked at her carefully again, then chuckled softly, "You're also a nagging person. Apart from 'Is it heavy?', 'Does it hurt?', 'Are you tired?', what else can you say?"

Su Xi was choked and speechless.

He actually resented the label of "nagging" she had given him when she resisted his series of questions, and now, less than ten minutes later, he just slapped it back on her?

So, so stingy!

Su Xi felt suffocated and speechless.

"Um?"

"What else will you say?"

Seeing him teasing her with an expressionless face, Su Xi simply turned her head away.

But her heartstrings were gently plucked, and she felt extremely calm. Compared to the fake and affectionate look in the illusion, this arrogant and stingy look was more pleasing to the eye.

The Dark Flame mecha was docked on a rocky beach, where the texture was slightly harder, just right for the docking of heavy-ton giant mechas.

After they completely left the shallow beach, the huge mecha stood up from its kneeling position and returned to a guarding mode.

Chris and his men were still cleaning up the battlefield on a beach a little further away.

In the middle of the two locations, three rows of transparent safe houses have been temporarily built to handle the useful materials collected during sorting. Logistics robots are busy packing and transporting them back and forth.

A safe house with Fitzgerald's personal logo stands in the center.

After jumping over the hot spring area with lava flowing and wading through an uneven reef area, Su Xi patted the strong arms that were hugging her, indicating that she wanted to get down and walk by herself. Fitzgerald then let her go.

He put her down on the smooth beach, but he still held her hand tightly.

The two of them walked hand in hand through the busy sorting area. When they passed the work area of ​​Chris Rambo and others, everyone stopped their work. Fitzgerald nodded slightly in response to everyone's greetings without any extra movements or words. Then he pulled Su Xi and walked straight towards his own territory.

Chris' eyes met Su Xi's with a smile, but she deliberately kept her distance and did not come forward to say hello.

The same is true for others.

Even though Chris hadn't explained the situation in detail before, there was nothing I didn't understand now.

Lao Mo held a cigar in his mouth, with an expression that said, "As expected." Then he grabbed Rambo, who was still looking around with a curious look on his face, and elbowed him, "What are you looking at?"

Rambo: "I don't know much! The last time I saw the commander was at the military parade. What's wrong with taking one more look?"

He clicked his tongue twice more, "Although the strongest alpha in the empire is not our commander in name, anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that his strength is no longer on the list."

Then Rambo thought of the brief twelve minutes in Su Xi's network when he was forced to upgrade to 4S level when confronting the Zerg. The incomparably powerful pleasure was still fresh in his memory. Looking in the direction of the safe house, he couldn't help but feel encouraged and yearning.

Although he is still at 2S now, he will definitely reach the level of 4S!

Mary, who was passing by at that moment, teased him, "Goldfish brain! Stop looking! You can look at your idol however you want normally, but now he has his own omega by his side, what are you looking at!"

"Oh oh!" Rambo finally responded in annoyance, "But is an omega that strong still an omega?"

"Shut up!" Chris said half in a joking and half serious tone, "Be careful or I'll sue you for libel! Get to work! Get back home as soon as possible."

"Okay! I was wrong! I always speak without thinking. Please forgive me, Boss Chris!"

Rambo begged for mercy again and again, and there was a sense of ease and harmony in the aftermath of the battlefield.

As for Su Xi's peculiarity, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it. Even Rambo, who had the thickest lines, knew that it was a taboo topic and it would be best if the memory could be erased after the mission was completed.

*

Not to mention other people's psychological activities, after Su Xi was taken into someone's independent safe house.

He first helped her take off her helmet, then looked at her intently.

The sweet and fragrant scent of the petite omega instantly filled this isolated space.

Fitzgerald's nose twitched slightly, and the back of his neck gradually became hot. He restrained himself and said calmly: "Reach out, I will help you unbutton the EXO mecha, and you can do the rest yourself."

Su Xi was embarrassed, but she really didn't know how to unbutton the complicated mecha buckles. In fact, this was her first time wearing an EXO mecha. There was a special donning cabin on the Sun-Swallowing Shuttle to assist her when she wore it. At that time, she was in a hurry to find Chris and the others, and did not look up how to manually remove it without the donning cabin.

Of course, it is not impossible to slowly solve it yourself while reading the instruction manual.

But looking at the tall man's self-conscious expression, she felt that she was being too hypocritical by thinking too much.

So Su Xi obediently stretched out her hands, and her petite body was gently turned over by a pair of hot hands, and the buttons were unbuttoned one by one.

I don't know why this process took so long, it took so long that Su Xi, who had been calm at first, started to blush a little.

The omega's fragrant pheromone was originally a little green, but as her face turned red, the light top note suddenly turned deep and graceful. The pleasant and tempting smell gradually became so strong that even the pheromone adjustment button under the button could not control it.

The big hand that was leisurely fiddling with the mecha buckle suddenly paused. Fitzgerald took a deep breath and clicked a few times to speed up the removal action.

For Su Xi, she just secretly said in her heart, "That's great" and "It's finally over". Her slow glandular sensitivity did not immediately realize that the reason why she blushed was mostly because of the subtle provocation of the alpha element.

But for Fitzgerald, he had restrained himself enough to collect his pheromones. However, just like it was an instinct for the king insect to spread its wings, his instinct as an alpha human made him realize at this moment that the perfect control over his own instincts, which he had always been proud of, was not so perfect.

Su Xi exhaled slightly and whispered "thank you".

Fitzgerald smiled. "No need."

Then he thoughtfully gave her a separate space and told Su Xi to change into more comfortable clothes. The clothes she was wearing were the ones Chris had prepared for her on the Sun Swallowing Shuttle.

But looking at the brand new white dress, Su Xi hesitated.

Noticing that she didn't like it very much, the red-haired alpha raised his eyebrows slightly and asked him without any unnecessary expression: "Don't you like it? Chris prepared it."

Su Xi: "No, I just don't want to wear a skirt in this situation."
