Chen Ci woke up in the warm quilt. The comfort and softness made him not even want to move. He just wanted to lie here forever and sleep endlessly.

Without the need for control, his mental power dispersed in the most natural state. Chen Ci heard the conversation next door. People were speaking the local language, which he could not understand.

After a long time, Chen Ci finally opened his eyes under the urging of hunger.

What comes into view is the wooden roof. The surrounding walls are painted with moisture-proof paint and simply decorated with brightly colored cloth and hanging paintings.

He had already changed his clothes into the local standard robe. Now that the weather was getting warmer, he didn't need to wear too thick clothes.

Chen Ci threw back the quilt and got up. He put on the shoes beside the bed, opened the curtain, lowered his head and walked out of the room.

"You're awake." The woman who was mending clothes saw him come out, immediately put down her needle and thread, stood up and said enthusiastically: "Come and eat something first, you must be hungry."

She looked to be in her forties, with her cheeks reddened by ultraviolet radiation. Her beautiful black hair was tied behind her body. She was simple and amiable, and was also wearing a modified Tibetan robe.

Chen Ci sat down at the table, and the woman quickly brought a plate of meat and a bowl of soup from downstairs. The lamb chops were roasted until they were shiny red and sprinkled with finely chopped spices. The light yellow soup was thick and exuded a light aroma. It should be the famous local butter tea.

Chen Ci took a sip and found it very fragrant, a mixture of the flavors of cheese, tea, and spices.

The lamb chops were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without any fishy smell at all. They were fresh and fragrant with a hint of spiciness. After Chen Ci took two bites, his appetite was completely aroused and he felt even hungrier.

The woman quietly watched Chen Ci eat the meat and tea, then picked up her clothes and needlework and continued her mending.

Chen Ci ate and drank enough, and his stomach finally felt better. He said to the woman earnestly, "Thank you."

Chen Ci had met this hostess last night. Her name was Zhuomacuo. Her husband Songwangdui was a forest ranger here. When Songwangdui was about to go home after patrolling the forest last night, he heard the barking of Dacongming. His forest ranger dog was attracted, and Songwangdui hurried to catch up and saw the sea of ​​​​fluorescence.

Halfway up the mountain, he could clearly make out the word SOS.

Song Wangdui hurried down the mountain and rescued the exhausted Chen Ci and the unconscious Fu Tianhe with a high fever. He brought them both to his home and found a doctor to treat Fu Tianhe overnight.

Zhuomacuo waved his hand, signaling Chen Ci to be polite: "The guy with you hasn't woken up yet."

"Can I go see him?"

Zhuomacuo took Chen Ci to the next room, where Fu Tianhe was lying on his back on the bed with his eyes closed.

"The doctor said the situation is relatively stable. The temperature has dropped a little compared to when you first arrived. I'm going to go downstairs to check on the cows. If there is anything, come and find me downstairs."

"good."

Chen Ci sat down beside the bed. He reached out and gently touched Fu Tianhe's forehead. The fever had indeed subsided a lot, but he was still hot. Alpha's breathing was steady and he sounded much better. It might be the blood that took effect.

The doctor applied medicine to the wound on Fu Tianhe's chest and wrapped it with gauze. Other minor abrasions on their bodies were also treated.

Chen Ci's hand moved from Fu Tianhe's forehead to his cheek. The Alpha was quiet for a rare moment. His face was a little red due to the heat, and his originally chapped lips were no longer chapped after being fed water. A layer of light blue stubble appeared on his chin, which was a bit irritating.

Chen Ci suddenly realized that he had memorized every detail of Fu Tianhe's face without realizing it. This was the person he had spent the longest time with in his life, except for the waiter in the White Pagoda.

Chen Ci lowered his eyes and was about to take his hand back when he suddenly felt something rub his palm.

His hand stopped where it was, and he saw Fu Tianhe's eyelashes move slightly, and then he opened his eyes. There was a hint of confusion in his black left eye, as if he had just woken up, and the golden prosthetic eye on the right side was as cold as ever.

"Awake." Chen Ci said softly, "How do you feel?"

"All right?" Fu Tianhe's voice was slightly hoarse. He stared at the wooden beams for two seconds. "Where are we now?"

"In the home of a local resident on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this family saved us last night."

Fu Tianhe uttered an "oh" and his gaze slowly shifted from left to right, taking a look around the room.

After the global flooding disaster, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau became the largest land area on Earth and also the most populous place besides the six beacons.

Although a large number of foreign population have poured in, the local area still retains its original ethnic characteristics, so much so that when Fu Tianhe saw the black, red and white walls and the spacious rooms, he thought he had traveled back a thousand years ago.

There were a few barking sounds from outside the window. Da Congming was playing with other dogs. As a forest ranger, Songwang kept many dogs. The colorful prayer flags fluttered in the wind, like waves of clouds.

In the distance are towering snow-capped mountains, one after another. I wonder if any of them is the highest peak in the world?

"Remember when Sheila stepped on you? There was a poisonous sting on her foot and you were poisoned."

Chen Ci briefly explained the situation. "A sea turtle brought us to land, and used fluorescent sea bait to attract rescue. The family that took us in are local forest rangers. The doctor has tried to detoxify you. Is there anything else that's causing you discomfort?"

"I feel a little nauseous and want to vomit." Fu Tianhe raised his hand and touched his stomach, "It feels like something is churning in my stomach. Maybe it's not my stomach? I don't know."

Fu Tianhe paused, he turned his head to look at Chen Ci, his face full of worry: "Jiuyue, I'm not really pregnant, am I?"

Chen Ci was almost choked by his saliva.

Chen Ci explained seriously: "It shouldn't happen. Sheila didn't have the right opportunity to put the egg into your stomach. If the egg was really there, you would have unbearable abdominal pain now."

"That's good." Fu Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief. The scene described by Sheila was too horrifying, especially after the dagger pierced into the abdomen of the Sea King, Fu Tianhe saw with his own eyes the yellow-green pulp flowing out.

Those things will be stuffed into his stomach, and as the monster hatches, he will be eaten until only a transparent skin is left. It's creepy just thinking about it.

Fu Tianhe had never thought about the possibility of getting pregnant as an Alpha all his life. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. If, if it was his and Jiu Yue's child, he would be happy to keep it.

Doesn’t the seahorse father also have a pouch? He can take care of all the hard work.

Chen Ci thought about it and decided not to tell Fu Tianhe that he had given him blood to drink. The main reason was that Chen Ci didn’t know how to explain the reason.

It was said that his blood could detoxify? It was a bit strange. If Fu Tianhe pressed him, he would not be able to answer.

"If you feel nauseous, drink more water to see if you can suppress it." Chen Ci raised the cup of water to Fu Tianhe's mouth, and Zhuomacuo considerately gave him a straw so that Fu Tianhe could drink water while lying down.

Fu Tianhe held the straw, drank two sips of water obediently, and then let go.

The two stopped talking, and not long after, Chen Ci suddenly found Fu Tianhe twisting in the quilt.

Alpha seemed to be enduring something. His face looked normal and his movements were small, but he was obviously tense and the tips of his ears were red.

Chen Ci:?

Then he smelled a rich amber wood scent, rushing towards him like a substance.

As the name suggests, pheromones are used to transmit information, and Chen's words clearly interpret a certain urgent desire in them.

During pregnancy in many organisms, the pregnant woman needs to ingest the pheromones of the other party so that the baby in the womb can get more supplements.

The toxin that Sheila injected into Fu Tianhe in advance had a promoting effect. Although Fu Tianhe was not forced to accept the Poseidon egg, and the blood that Chen Ci gave him quickly detoxified, there was still a slight toxic residue in the Alpha's body.

And there is a mark between Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci.

This led to Fu Tianhe now urgently craving Chen Ci's pheromones as a supplement.

Chen Ci's blood contains high concentrations of pheromones, and Fu Tianhe absorbed a lot of them while he was unconscious, temporarily suppressing this desire. The omega pheromones made Fu Tianhe deeply marked with the unique mark of Chen Ci, causing him to become strongly dependent on him.

Now a lot of time has passed and he is about to start again.

But now Fu Tianhe still had no idea why this happened. He only knew that he had just woken up from a coma and had a shameful reaction.

No way, is this necessary?!

Fu Tianhe's whole body was stiff. He tried his best to control himself, but his desire for the scent of tuberose became more and more intense, making him struggle helplessly like a fish about to die of thirst. However, the person who could help him was sitting next to him.

Chen Ci thought Fu Tianhe was in pain and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Not bad." How could Fu Tianhe tell the truth? He suppressed his discomfort and desire, swallowed hard, and said stutteringly: "September."

"Um?"

"...Can you hug me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ci put down the cup of water in his hand, leaned down and gave Fu Tianhe a hug.

This was a very standard hug. Chen Ci's arms were around Fu Tianhe's shoulders and neck. The Alpha's head was placed on the boy's shoulders. If he tilted his head slightly, his lips would touch the back of his neck that was marked.

Fu Tianhe inhaled greedily, pheromones rushed into his nostrils, the fragrance of tuberose was refreshing, but it was not enough, not enough yet.

More is needed.

Fu Tianhe looked embarrassed, his voice lowered by eight degrees, and asked again: "...Can you kiss me?"

Chen Ci also did not hesitate and kissed Fu Tianhe's lips directly, feeling the Alpha shudder all over.

Fu Tianhe finally couldn't bear it anymore. He put his hands on Chen Ci's back and took the initiative to absorb more pheromones from the boy's mouth. No, he didn't ask for a kiss just for the pheromones.

Together, they experienced life-threatening dangers, were finally rescued after drifting on the sea, and woke up in a warm bunker. With their fragile human bodies, they defeated the cruel Sea Emperor.

The relief of surviving the disaster, the passion of fighting side by side, and the happiness of hugging each other tightly intertwined together, making Fu Tianhe want only to kiss the boy in his arms devoutly.

Based on previous attempts, this kiss was more skillful, but it could only be considered passing.

When their lips parted, Chen Ci's breathing became a little out of rhythm.

But now that things had come to this, he understood.

Chen Ci glanced at the quilt covering Fu Tianhe, frowning slightly. He thought for a moment and asked directly, "Do you want to do it?"

Fu Tianhe was almost choked to death by the saliva.

"Need not!!!"

In a panic, Fu Tianhe even raised his voice. Jiu Yue was still as frank as ever in this regard, which made him even more ashamed: "It should be fine if you just bear with it for a while."

Chen Ci nodded: "If you need pheromones, please let me know anytime."

Fu Tianhe spoke with difficulty: "...Okay."

Seeing that Fu Tianhe's condition had stabilized, Chen Ci took out the terminal. When Song Wangdui found him last night, he was still conscious.

Afterwards, he and Fu Tianhe were taken home. As soon as they moved to a place with a signal, Chen Ci immediately sent a message to Chen Nian.

But he was also very tired at that time, so he didn't chat much with Chen Nian.

Now that I have some free time, I can finally talk about what happened in the past few days.

Chen Ci input: [It rained the day after we left the detection platform, and the sea turtle took us to a nearby island to take shelter. On the morning of the third day, Fu Tianhe and I found a woman near the reef. She claimed that she was a shipwreck that brought her here, and her name was Aurora.]

Chen Nian: [???]

Chen Nian: [What? Aurora? You met a woman named Aurora???]

Chen Ci paused while typing. He saved the few lines he had written in the dialog box to the clipboard and retyped: [Yes.]

Chen Nian: [There is also a person named Aurora in the game I play! No, to be precise, she is the incarnation of the boss Sea King Sheila, who pretended to be a player to approach me. The main quest I just completed is to defeat her! ]

Several exclamation marks showed Chen Nian's shock. He was so excited that he even typed a few wrong words. Even Chen Ci was stunned when he saw this.

Aurora is the incarnation of Hera, the sea queen.

Wasn't this what he and Fu Tianhe had just experienced? How did it become part of the game that Chen Nian had played?

Chen Nian: [What was the Aurora you met like? ]

Chen Ci: [dark skin, long silver wavy hair, looks to be in her early twenties]

Chen Nian: […This is her image in the game! Oh my god, how could it be like this?]

Chen Nian sent another screenshot of the game. Chen Ci took one look at it and was sure that it was definitely Aurora.

Chen Ci: [Don't worry, let's write about Aulora in detail from our own perspectives and let's see each other.]

Chen Nian: [Okay.]

Chen Ci opened the memo and wrote down word by word what he and Fu Tianhe had experienced over the past few days.

They picked up Aurora who was unconscious on the beach. Da Congming showed extreme fear, which made the two of them alert. Later, they went to explore the mountain, but he fell asleep unexpectedly and dreamed that Aurora transformed into a primitive creature and ate people alive.

Later, in another dream, he learned that she was afraid of noise, so he guessed that it was Sheila among the Poseidon. He and Fu Tianhe used the equipment left in the cave to modify it and take the initiative.

In the moment of crisis, he was helped by lasers in the sky and finally escaped from Sheila.

Chen's words were simple and accurate, clearly expressing every important detail without being redundant. After he finished writing, he read the entire article and copied it to the chat box to send it to Chen Nian.

A few minutes later, Chen Nian's copy came over. Chen Nian was obviously very excited. Just after reading the first two paragraphs, Chen Ci found several typos.

But none of that matters compared to the content.

The two of them experienced almost exactly the same things in the virtual game and in real life.

Or perhaps it could be said that Chen's thoughts are always one step ahead of his words.

Aurora blew up the building of the God-Abandoners Guild and revealed her true form in front of Chen Nian at 11 o'clock in the morning on the 6th. Chen Ci suddenly fell asleep and had a dream while climbing the mountain, which was also at 11 o'clock in the morning on the 6th.

The content of Chen Ci's dream was exactly what Chen Nian experienced in the game. The real feeling of being eaten from scratch was transmitted from Chen Nian's consciousness into Chen Ci's mind through the dream.

Chen Ci learned that Aulora was afraid of sounds because of Chen Nian's successful exploration in the game.

Afterwards, Chen Nian and Shafulai attacked the Boss in the game. The moment the Boss's health reached zero, a laser fell from the sky and hit Sheila.

Everything fits perfectly in time.

Chen Ci thought again of the eyes he had seen before, the huge red and blue pupils in the sky, silently staring at him.

Chen Nian: [Before fighting the boss, Shafley collected a lot of information about Sea King Sheila from the real world. He said that many things in the game Electric Fantasy Kingdom were inspired by reality. But even if the inspiration comes from reality, it is impossible to make it exactly the same. The name is the same, the appearance is the same, and even its pregnancy setting is the same! It's too weird! ]

[It’s like the things in the game are reflected in reality]

Chen Nian couldn't help but think of the version of "Deep Blue" a few years ago. Because the main mission was not completed, the entire Greenland Ice and Snow Plateau was blocked. Isn't it exactly the same as the collapse of the moonlight in reality, which led to the Greenland Plateau being deserted?

Chen Nian: [I have to check this game carefully. You and Fu Tianhe can rest there. A flying vehicle will come to pick you up soon.]

Chen Ci: [No, we are out of danger now, and I want to stay here for a while. Anyway, we have a signal, so we can keep in touch at any time.]

[That's fine.]

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh that her brother was such a strong man that he didn't want to come back after experiencing such a thrilling experience.

On the top floor of Cinnabar, inside the palace, Chen Nian let go of the end.

He took a few deep breaths to calm the shock in his heart, and forwarded Chen's message to Shaflay exactly as it was. Then he put away the new terminal and went to the bedroom next door to find Alpha.

When Chen Nian came in, Shafley was sitting on the bed writing code.

Seeing the boy's hurried figure, Shafla saved what he had just written and closed the virtual screen.

"What's wrong?"

"I just contacted Chen Ci, and he said something very important. I have passed the details to you, so please take a look at it."

Upon hearing this, Shafley immediately opened the social software. He realized the problem after reading only the first paragraph.

"Aurora?"

"Yes, Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe also met a woman who called herself Aurora on the island. Please finish reading it and stop asking questions."

Shafley quickly read the entire message, and then read it carefully from beginning to end, word by word.

"The Electric Fantasy Kingdom is more than just a game."

Chen Nian said seriously: "The system gave us three days to kill Sheila. What will happen if we fail to complete the task within these three days? The beams of light falling from the sky should not appear, so how can Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe escape Sheila's pursuit?"

He paused and said firmly: "The mission we completed in the game saved Chen Ci's life."

"That light should be emitted by a space-based laser weapon." Shafulai immediately logged into the intranet, entered the Crown Prince's specific key, and made a query.

Alpha's violet eyes stared at the screen, finally stopping on a line of data.

At 10:47 yesterday morning, the moment they defeated Poseidon Sheila in the game, a space-based satellite was launched without permission from the military as it passed over the northern waters of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Aside from the military, the only other entity that can control a space-based satellite is the supercomputer Beacon.

"What's the origin of this game? I looked up its developer and found out it's called b...beacon." Chen Nian lowered his head and was about to look up the meaning of the word.

Shaflay: "Beacon. Beacon means beacon."

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment, then punched Shafulai in shame: "Damn, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Shaflay swayed a bit. "I thought you already knew this. How can a normal company make a virtual reality game of this scale? It must be based on a supercomputer like Beacon, right?"

Chen Nian was simply speechless. He had only started playing the game this month and his English was not good, so how could he have thought of so many things? If Shafley had told him earlier, would there have been so much trouble?

"What else do you know? Tell me now."

"The rest is gone. Not only me, but many players have always felt that the content of the Electric Fantasy Kingdom reflects reality. After all, the blockade of the 'Deep Sea' version is the same as the collapse of Moonlight."

Shafley paused and frowned: "But judging from this incident, it seems more like some kind of...rehearsal?"

A prophecy? It does look like one, but how does the beacon make such an accurate judgment?

"By the way, don't you have to perform core program maintenance for Cinnabar every week? It's a good opportunity to see it, or why not ask what's going on?"

"And the red eyes that Chen Ci saw in the sky are also very strange. Could it be that the beacon has been monitoring him? Otherwise, how could the satellite be launched at the critical moment by such a coincidence and save Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe?"

Shafley nodded. "It should be the beacon. A similar situation has occurred before. I was performing maintenance on the core program when Cinnabar reminded me to go to the lake. I did so and found Chen Ci swimming alone in the artificial lake."

Chen Nian: "Then go and ask."

"Okay." Shafley agreed.

Chen Nianjie helped Shafulai get out of bed and suddenly realized a serious problem.

According to the current statement, didn't Xin Beacon already know about his and Chen Ci's identities?!

Chen Nian was stunned for a few seconds, then he relaxed. It didn't matter. What would happen if people found out? He was Marshal Chen Weiyuan's other child, not a murderer. What was there to be afraid of?

Moreover, Beacon knew that Chen Ci was running away, but it hadn't caught him yet, which was considered as tacit approval. Maybe... this was also part of its plan?

Chen Nian turned on the system, and a metal chair flipped out from the wall. He helped Shaflai sit on it and fastened the belt around Alpha to fix it.

When entering the beacon core program, you need to keep your body firmly fixed to prevent possible accidents and injuries.

The leather strap was passed across Shaflay's chest. Chen Nian squeezed a finger in to test the tightness, making sure there was an appropriate gap so that blood flow would not be blocked and cause edema or necrosis.

Then the legs, leaving the arms for last.

Chen Nian squatted down, feeling a little queasy and having difficulty breathing, so he simply knelt on the carpet, lowered his eyes, and fixed Shafulai's legs to the chair legs.

He carefully paid attention to the injured parts of Shafulai, and made sure that they were healed. Then he looked up and saw Shafulai taking a piece of candy from the table nearby.

Ever since he fainted in front of Chen Nian before, Shafley has habitually placed a few pieces of candy on the table. Although it was not due to hypoglycemia that time, it might be helpful at the critical moment.

Just as Shafulai was about to open the candy wrapper, he saw Chen Nian raise his eyes. The boy noticed what was in his hand and his eyes lit up.

Chen Nian knelt in front of Shafulai with his knees apart, one hand on Shafulai's knees and the other hand on the ground. He tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth to Alpha.

Shaflay's line of sight clearly outlined the curve of the boy's neck, the small dimple of his collarbone, and the shoulders covered by the clothes. His amber eyes were staring straight at him, and the tip of his tongue was revealed between his soft lips, looking forward to the sweetness coming.

Shafley's throat tightened.

At this moment, he wanted to put something else into Chen Nian's mouth.

——Will you hold it in your mouth? What kind of expression will you show?

Shafley suppressed the trembling of his fingers. He pushed open the candy wrapper and put the lollipop into Chen Nian's mouth. Chen Nian held it obediently, savoring the fruit-flavored lollipop with a satisfied look on his face.

Soon the Omega leaned back slightly, and with a soft "pop" sound, the candy was spit out. Chen Nian licked the corner of his lips, as if savoring the taste, and continued to fix the Shafuli.

Only Alpha was left holding the lollipop all by himself, the crystal clear candy ball still sheen with a layer of sparkling water.

Shafley was stunned for a few seconds, and finally put the candy into his mouth.

Very sweet.
