Chapter 263: Caught in the act and overcoming desire
Bai Ling's condition is not very good. Even though the dosage of the powerful inhibitor was increased, the symptoms of estrus did not subside. Instead, a series of side effects occurred due to the suppression of the drug.
His body temperature continued to rise, and his limbs felt sore as if the bones were being scraped by a knife. He looked in the bathroom mirror and saw that his eyeballs were swollen and sore, without any sign of life. No wonder Seibuji gasped slightly when he saw his face.
I asked the medical department, and they said that normally the side effects of medication wouldn't be so obvious. But the military doctor also reminded him that he was a marked omega, which was very different from a single O - the same inhibitor would be 30% less effective on him, and if his alpha level was very high, the efficacy would be further reduced.
It is very likely that all these factors will be added together, and the positive effect will be completely gone. Moreover, because it conflicts with A's mark, it will become a debuff for the entire stage.
Bai Ling took a handful of cold water and splashed it on his burning face. The sudden alternation of hot and cold made the pores of his skin contract, bringing a needle-like pain. In his daze, he couldn't help but remember that Yu Chen had not allowed him to take inhibitors earlier.
That bastard should have known about the inhibitors on the market and knew that they were not effective.
But Bai Ling didn't listen.
From Bai Ling's perspective, the alpha that marked him was not around, and no one was comforting him with pheromones. What could he do if he didn't take the inhibitors? We must try our best to save the situation.
This idea might sound a bit resentful, but it was actually acceptable rationally. After all, it was not the first day that he knew that the mermaid had mental problems and needed to be offline frequently. He thought to himself that he was just unlucky this time as it was the mating season. And I am not that fragile. If I have a minor illness or pain, I need my alpha to be by my side all the time.
Not that fragile—he repeated it like a robot. These five words were the underlying code written on him.
It seems that if you recite it more, you can overcome any bad things or bad situations.
But when he received the reply from the old ministers of the Demon Pillar.
He felt that it would be difficult for him to get better.
The alpha who ran away from home, faced with his worries, just said lightly "Let him burn", as if his fears were worthless.
Even if there is something urgent that must be done, what can't be discussed with me?
She refused to answer calls and text messages. She was clearly planning something behind his back, but she was trying to hide it from him so as not to let him know. Bai Ling really hated this kind of hesitation and mystery.
The last time this happened, his mother did her best to buy him a ticket to the future.
So what about this time?
An unprecedented fear suddenly surged in his heart. His fingers were cold and trembling. He subconsciously reached for his pocket, but did not feel the cigarette box. He walked back to the room in a daze. He went to look through his luggage and saw a mess under his feet. Then he remembered in a confused state that he had quit smoking for his poor health.
The room was cramped and suffocating, cold and dead silent.
Finally, there was a beep, and the call bell rang, with a hoarse voice:
"Hal, bring me a pack of cigarettes."
·
Seibu Tsukasa was not one to care about his colleagues. On the contrary, his social rules are to keep out of other people's way and not to intervene until it's too critical.
However, now, he kept an eye on Bai Ling's movements from time to time. Perhaps it was because Savoie was away and Kidd was captured, so the task of caring for the commander-in-chief was focused on one person.
Although he didn't hate it, he always felt a little awkward. When it comes down to it, it may be that I put myself in his shoes and feel that Bai Ling is a person with plenty of energy. Bai Ling could even bring back someone like him who wanted to die, so Bai Ling himself would definitely not be in any serious trouble.
So his excessive attention may seem unnecessary.
However, no matter how awkward it was, after an hour, Xiwu Si still wanted to confirm whether Bai Ling had rested. Halfway through the journey, he happened to meet Bai Ling's executive adjutant, and Hal told him:
"Commander Bai should not be asleep yet. Do you need anything from him?"
Xiwusi: "If anything happens, I'll go and punch him and knock him out."
Hal knew that he was saying one thing and thinking another, but he was also afraid that the two really had some conflict, so he suggested going together. Just when he went to hand over the cigarette, he felt Commander Bai's hand was a little hot, but the door was only open a little, and he couldn't confirm the other party's condition.
If the situation is serious, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Hal was worried and went to the door, but found that the door opened as soon as he pushed it, and he forgot to close it. To protect Bai Ling's privacy, Hal knocked on the door twice and asked, "Are you there? Can we come in?"
His voice was neither soft nor loud, but the lounges on the ship were small, so the noise was enough for the people inside to hear clearly. Hal waited for a while, but there was no sound. Seibu didn't want to wait any longer, so he pushed the door open and walked in.
"Hey, Bai Ling, you can't close it even if you fall asleep--"
Before the word "door" was uttered, the two of them froze in place. With the cold light shining obliquely into the room from the corridor, they saw Bai Ling sitting extremely calmly in the narrow dark room, smoking with an indifferent expression. He leaned back in his chair, his long eyelashes drooping, casting a heavy shadow under his eyes.
His knuckles were slightly curled as he held a cigarette, the tobacco burning into an extremely thick orange flame. When the flames gradually died down, he immersed himself in his own world as if no one was around. With shaking hands calmly, he extinguished the short cigarette butt on his thigh in a dignified manner.
He didn't even frown, his face was cold and indifferent, like a bionic man with no sense of pain.
Hiss, the ash fell and burned the fabric, leaving small round holes, while people could smell a slight smell of burnt flesh.
The strange aroma of the Maillard reaction of protein, mixed with the suppressed omeg hormones in the space, was enough to make any alpha passing by lose their mind, pounce on him to lick and kiss his horrible thighs, and use their lips and tongue to catch the hot liquid that overflowed from this fighting machine because it could not restrain its biological instincts.
The ferocious eagle's alpha was not nearby. He clearly had the power to call for a backup to resolve the problem, but he chose to endure it, using the pain to overcome the anxiety of his desires that could not be satisfied.
In the corridor, the two guards on patrol vaguely smelled the pheromones and stopped uncontrollably with dazed eyes. They accidentally took a look inside and instantly became hard. With a flattering tone, they leaned forward like a male wolf seeking a mate, "Commander Bai... Hello, we are willing to serve you, please allow me to kiss the soles of your boots--"
Before he could finish his words, the vice admiral's service pistol was coldly pressed against his forehead. Saibushi sneered, "Get out of here before your brains splash all over me!"
Hal contacted the medical officer without delay.
After a while, the entire corridor was blocked and Bai Ling was taken away. The Omega soldiers secretly cleaned and disinfected the room to prevent A from becoming lustful and stealing a carpet that Bai Ling had stepped on to do dirty things.
In the medical area, Brown Rabbit wanted to get his clothes back, so he followed the ship.
At this moment, he watched the doctors and nurses nervously bring in an officer. The man was still conscious and struggled a few times. He was unwilling to sleep on the hospital bed and said in a hoarse voice, "I can just sit on a chair and do it. It won't be a problem."
The brown rabbit knew why. The bed is so comfortable that after sleeping for a while, my bones felt lazy and I didn't want to get up.
Through the curtain, he heard the head nurse approaching as if facing a great enemy, "...What's that wound on your thigh? Was it a cigarette burn?"
"Well, I forgot about it when I wasn't paying much attention. It's an old habit."
“You have to stop smoking!”
"Okay...don't worry."
The senior head nurse dares to yell at anyone, so even military doctors have to be cautious when they see her. She was so angry that she complained while treating her wounds:
"I really don't understand. What do alphas do these days? They don't care about your estrus period. What about the nobleman, the old emperor, and that damn postman? I don't know where they went after they got their status. It would be better if they could just come closer to take care of your emotions, better than... you torturing yourself like this."
She swallowed the word "self-abuse" with difficulty.
Brown Rabbit's scalp tingled when he heard this. The emperor's husband? The person opposite him turned out to be Commander Bai!
After a while, I heard a hoarse voice on the other end saying protectively, "...My alpha is sick and is recuperating. I can't bother him."
The head nurse understood what was going on and snorted, "Don't protect them anymore. Alphas can't be spoiled. If you don't beat them up for three days, they will tear the roof off the house. When you get better, you must change them to someone gentle, young and lovable."
As she spoke, she adjusted the infusion speed and said, "Okay, your fever should go away after these three bottles."
A bottle takes 1 hour at the slowest and 35 minutes at the fastest.
After the head nurse left, she gently pulled up the curtain to allow Bai Ling to breathe. Then, the brown rabbit saw the young man silently adjusting the infusion to the fastest speed.
The brown rabbit was shocked. The speed was increased so that it could respond to the battlefield at any time. You really don't consider yourself a human being.
While thinking, the young man closed his eyes and took a nap. The back of his head was leaning against the edge of the chair, and his ascetic military collar revealed a white, slender neck. If the brown rabbit didn't know he was a falcon, he would have thought he was a wounded crane.
But if you look closely, you will find that it is not the typical appearance of an omega. He is neither quiet and submissive, nor gentle and pleasant. Instead, his features are sharp and cold, giving people the feeling at first glance that this is not something an ordinary alpha is qualified to handle.
The brown rabbit thought about it and snorted slightly in anger. That despicable earthling would not do either - he had already guessed that Bai Ling was the friend who betrayed him as Cen Yan mentioned. Of course, Brown Rabbit would not believe any of Cen Yan’s nonsense now.
The brown rabbit couldn't help but begin to imagine what kind of alpha partner such a strong and beautiful O should have. The postman is too ordinary. Mr. D is good, but he always feels a little lacking… It would be great if Mr. D could be merged with the old emperor.
He had wild thoughts and thought they were too far-fetched. The old emperor must be so wrinkled at such an old age that he would not look good standing next to Commander Bai.
Just don’t think about it.
And changing alpha is painful. If an omega that has been marked is bitten a second time by another A to remove the mark, its hormone secretion will collapse. In severe cases, it will degenerate from O to beta, and eventually die from organ failure due to insufficient hormone secretion.
This kind of forced cleansing that disregards the wishes of the omegas is strictly prohibited by the Empire.
However, it is said that some males like to do this, not only to possess O, but also for malicious competition, making the original alpha miserable.
The brown rabbit thought of the famous law he had learned about in class. The murderer was eloquent and almost got away with it. In the end, the old emperor gave a direct order and sentenced him to beheading, which scared most of the males in the empire who were watching from the sidelines so much that they pissed their pants, and only then did they restrain themselves a little.
Well, looking at it this way, the old emperor is still the best. It would be great if he were younger.
Just as he was sighing for no reason, the brown rabbit discovered that the door to the medical area was opened, and an ordinary bionic man came in with a pile of blankets that looked of good quality draped over his arms. I don’t know why, but the brown rabbit wondered if this android often wore suits, which was why he put the blanket on his forearms like a coat.
The bionic man glanced around calmly, without attracting anyone's attention, and walked towards this side. Like a common nursing robot, he gently opened the curtain and covered the omega, who was frowning in his sleep, with a small blanket.
The IV water was very cold and the infusion went too fast, so the needle hole was slightly blue. The bionic man lowered his eyes and looked at him, obviously hesitating for a moment, then quietly adjusted the temperature of his body and stretched his hot palm towards Bai Ling's wrist.
"Snap!" The bionic man froze for a moment.
Bai Ling suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes and looked up at the other person.
The brown rabbit pulled the quilt nervously for some unknown reason and stole a glance at the scene. He saw Bai Ling grab the bionic man's hand and silently say a word with his cold, clear lips.
