After giving the dirty Da Congming a bath, Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe helped Zhuomacuo take care of the cattle and sheep. They couldn't just stay here and eat for free.
Now we have nothing in our hands and nothing with which we can repay Zhuomacuo's family. Fortunately, we have recovered and have plenty of energy.
The rising sea level has made the local climate less extreme. The warm season has been extended from the original four months to six months, and the time for lambing has also increased accordingly. At the end of June, there are still many newly born lambs.
As expected, no matter what creature it is, it is the cutest when it is a baby. The fluffy white little sheep jumped and frisked towards the ewe's swollen udder, wanting to drink milk, but was kicked away by the ewe that was not its mother, and bleated in grievance.
Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe identify which sheep belong to the same family by their spots and colors.
They helped Zhuomacuo drive the sheep to a farther place to graze, leaving countless small black eggs along the way. It was the first time for Chen Ci to see people eating and defecating at the same time.
When it was dark, Song Wangdui came back from patrolling the mountains. The four of them had dinner together at the table. With the addition of Fu Tianhe, the table became much more lively. Song Wangdui and Zhuomacuo's children all lived in the city, and the two of them needed to herd and patrol the mountains, so they stayed here.
Chen Ci listened quietly at the side. He only needed to say a few words when he was specifically asked about it. He felt quite relaxed and at ease.
Finally, I'm in a place with lights, so I don't have to prepare to go to bed early every night.
Chen Ci obtained Zhuomacuo's consent and held a snow-white lamb in his arms. The lamb had a faint fishy smell, soft fur, and a trembling cry. If there was a chance in the future, it seemed like it would be a good idea to raise a lamb.
He sat by the window, looking at the scenery in the distance. He could vaguely see the winding coastline. The dark blue fluorescent sea had receded, and the spiritual realm showed that the turtle had temporarily left.
Thinking back to the help given by the original creatures, Chen Ci always felt a sense of unreality.
He had always regarded these creatures as enemies, but they helped him get rid of the sea king Sheila and even sent out calls for help at the most critical moment.
Zhuomacuo's house has three floors and a lot of space. Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe sleep in separate rooms. After Chen Ci finished washing up, turned off the lights and went to bed, he heard the curtain being opened.
Fu Tianhe's voice sounded tentatively: "September?"
Chen Ci hummed lightly.
Fu Tianhe stopped talking. Chen Ci heard footsteps on the wooden floor, followed by a rustling sound, and then a warm body climbed onto the bed and lay beside him.
Chen Ci moved towards the wall to make room for Fu Tianhe.
It seemed as if he and Fu Tianhe had been sleeping together ever since the shipwreck, and had long been accustomed to each other's steady breathing and the faint lingering amber scent.
Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci covered themselves with a quilt. Alpha's hand moved inside the quilt, rubbed the back of the boy's hand, and tried to hook his fingers.
Chen Ci remained indifferent, his eyes closed and sleepiness brewing. He was used to these things.
Used to it. What a surprising description, he actually got used to the Alpha's increasingly intimate contact.
Then Chen Ci felt the approaching breath, gently falling on his cheek, as if asking for a light kiss.
However, Fu Tianhe’s poisoning symptoms should have completely disappeared, as he didn’t mention the need for pheromone replenishment the entire night.
Chen Ci's eyelashes twitched. Fu Tianhe probably doesn't need pheromones anymore, eh.
But the corners of his lips were still touched, and the Alpha caressed them repeatedly, squeezing the soft lip flesh, then releasing it, and then pressing and rubbing it again.
It reminded Chen Ci of a puppy rubbing against something randomly.
He turned his head slightly to allow Fu Tianhe to touch him more, and they simply rubbed against each other, feeling the coolness of their breath on each other's noses. Then it was the Alpha who took the initiative to try.
They tasted each other's pheromones, which were the lingering fragrance of the dark night in the amber forest.
The words were silently opened, like a homeowner who wakes up in the middle of the night and opens the door for a thief outside, watching him sweep every corner of the house thoroughly, taking out valuable treasures and examining them carefully before putting them back in their original places, thinking hard about what the most precious thing should be taken away.
There was clearly no need to replenish pheromones, so why did I condone this behavior?
Fu Tianhe's hand went around the back of his neck, his fingertips stroking the place where the tooth marks once were. Half a month had passed since the temporary marking, and the pheromones he left behind were constantly being metabolized by the Omega. In a dozen days at most, September would completely lose his scent.
He was a little reluctant, but Fu Tianhe knew that he should be content.
Chen Ci couldn't help but think again of the books he had read.
Life in the White Tower was very boring, so he read many books one after another, most of which were novels of various types. Chen Ci found that in many articles, the authors always chose to have the protagonist roll into bed after experiencing a crisis.
It is said that this is a kind of emotional progression, Chen Ci is incomprehensible, and he just finds it quite boring.
If you think about it carefully, he and Fu Tianhe seem to fit this profile as well?
In other words, for normal people, the development described in the book is what should happen? Fu Tianhe suddenly came over to sleep with him, because he wanted to take things a step further?
Chen Ci felt as if he understood something.
He struggled to break free from Fu Tianhe's hand, turned sideways to face the Alpha, accurately found the waistline of his pants, and unbuttoned his pants before Fu Tianhe could react.
Fu Tianhe:!!!
Fu Tianhe was so frightened that he stopped kissing. He grabbed his pants with both hands to prevent Chen Ci from taking them off. He was so tense that his voice changed when he spoke: "September?"
"Yes." Chen Ci's voice was still calm. "Do it. If it's just the first time, you won't get pregnant."
Fu Tianhe: ????? ?????
The young man's hands were about to take off his clothes again, but Fu Tianhe quickly grabbed them and held Chen Ci's fingers in his palm.
September knows everything, yet seems to know nothing.
"That's not what I meant." Fu Tianhe took a deep breath and explained softly, "I just wanted to kiss you. That kind of thing can only be done after we are very intimate."
"Now we don't count?"
"Maybe... not yet?"
He confessed his feelings to September on the raft, but September never gave a clear answer from beginning to end. He liked September's feelings so strongly that they could even be called love, but how did September feel about him?
Fu Tianhe felt that the Omega probably didn't understand. If he took the next step with Jiuyue when she didn't fully understand him, what difference would it be from seducing him?
Fu Tianhe turned Chen Ci over, letting the boy face the wall with his back to him. He held Chen Ci in his arms and held the boy's hands tightly to prevent him from making trouble again.
Fu Tianhe gently kissed the gland at the back of Chen Ci's neck and whispered, "Go to sleep."
The boy in her arms calmed down completely.
They fell asleep in the warm carved room listening to the intertwined breathing of the two. It had nothing to do with desire, just the most true love.
Early in the morning, Chen Ci was awakened by a noise. He opened his eyes and found that it was still dark. It was the darkest time before dawn.
Fu Tianhe also sat up and looked outside. They heard hurried footsteps. Fu Tianhe asked loudly, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Zhuomacuo's reply came hurriedly: "Some primitive creatures have landed on the high tide. We must hurry and drive them back."
Primitive organisms.
Chen Ci got up immediately, put on his shoes, and Fu Tianhe took his clothes and put them on him to prevent him from catching a cold.
Chen Ci opened the curtain and squinted his eyes because of the bright light. Song Wangdui had already picked up his hunting rifle and was about to go out.
"Let's go together." Before Zhuomacuo could persuade him, Chen Ci said, "Maybe we can be of some help."
"Okay." Song Wangdui agreed directly. He took out two hunting rifles from the drawer and handed them to Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe. "Do you know how to use them?"
"Can."
Song Wangdui nodded, then ran out without delay, with several dogs barking after him. Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe carried their hunting rifles and left the bunker, and they heard Zhuomacuo shouting behind them: "Be careful!"
Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe followed Song Wangdui's footsteps all the way to the western coastline, which was more than ten kilometers away from where they landed. They could see swaying lights and sentry towers standing tall from a distance, indicating that other people had already arrived.
The continuous gunshots were like firecrackers, mixed with shouts, and countless primitive creatures were pouring onto the shallows with the rising tide.
Most of the fish hide in the back, and those that can come ashore briefly act as vanguards. Razor clams and cat's eye snails rush with the tide and quickly lie down in the sand.
If someone steps on it, it will suddenly jump up, bite the ankle and calf tightly, and even attack by self-explosion. Once bitten, it will be difficult to escape without losing a layer of skin.
The lights were dim, and someone was attacked by these things and cried out in pain. Seeing this, Chen Ci released his mental power without hesitation and transmitted his thoughts out.
——Go away!
The surging waves that were landing gathered in an instant.
People seized the critical moment to fight back. Shovel trucks rumbled over, scooped up countless primitive creatures, and threw them back into the sea.
However, the sound of artillery fire suddenly rang out.
"careful!"
People shouted and ducked to avoid the tide, only to see a giant crab as tall as two stories climbing up from the surging tide.
Its huge body is a dark red color with the luster of rusted metal, and is covered with dark aquatic plants and parasites. Its claws are so strong that they can even pick up a shovel.
The forelimb on the other side is a cannon made of machinery. Because it just fired, it made a crackling sound as if it was overheating, and perhaps it is still warming up for the next shell.
It's just like a horrible monster that only appears in disaster movies!
The crab moved its body horizontally repeatedly, and finally aimed accurately at Chen Ci who was approaching.
Sure enough, some advanced primitive creatures were able to withstand his mental control.
Chen Ci immediately turned around and ran in the direction where there were the least people. Another shell fired out and rushed towards Chen Ci!
He rolled on the ground and the explosion occurred three meters behind him. In an instant, sand and gravel flew everywhere and landed on Chen Ci's head and body.
Any bullets that hit the crab's shell bounced off, creating tiny dents at best.
While the Original Crab was distracted by Chen Ci, Fu Tianhe lurked in the dark. His body was wrapped in Chen Ci's mental power and his traces disappeared.
By the time the crab realized someone was approaching, Fu Tianhe had already climbed onto its back nimbly.
The crab immediately turned around and tried to pull Fu Tianhe off with its claws, but Fu Tianhe was faster than it and climbed to the head shell in the blink of an eye.
Fu Tianhe grabbed the base of the crab claws with one hand to stabilize his body, and grabbed the crab shell with the other hand. The Alpha shouted loudly, and the muscles in his arms suddenly tensed up, bursting out with a huge force that almost exceeded the limits of the human body, and actually pried the shell open a little!
The next moment, Fu Tianhe pulled out the hunting rifle on his back, inserted the muzzle of the gun into the gap, and pulled the trigger.
--Bang!
The internal structure of the crab was shattered by the bullet carrying huge momentum. The crab fell into chaos in an instant. Fu Tianhe took advantage of the force of the crab's wild swing and let go. The whole person flew several meters away and finally rolled on the beach, eliminating his inertia.
Everyone was stunned by his actions. Faced with the frenzied Cancer, they reacted quickly and took advantage of the opportunity to pursue the victory.
More small primitive creatures with weak minds retreated to the rear under Chen Ci's command, while those that had already lay on the beach reappeared and were no longer dangerous mines.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed. The crab realized that it was in danger of death and tried to retreat back to the deep sea.
Someone shouted, "Kill it! It has a mechanical core!"
Under normal circumstances, Chen Ci would have immediately joined the team, just like two months ago on the beach in the abandoned suburbs, when faced with the original squid's desperate pleas, he picked out the still beating heart without hesitation.
This time, however, he hesitated.
By the time Chen Ci realized it, he had even relaxed his mental control over the giant crab.
Humans seem so insignificant in front of the crab. Even a shovel cannot compete with it. The original crab finally retreated back into the sea, its body sank into the water and disappeared never to be seen again.
After repelling the invasion of the primitive creatures, everyone cheered and some even fired a few shots into the sky to celebrate.
Although they failed to take down the mechanical core inside the giant crab, at least there were no serious casualties among the crowd this time.
Chen Ci lowered his head and looked at his palms in silence.
Obviously, these are a pair of human hands.
He is human.
There was no doubt about that, and he should have stood firm, even if Sheila and the turtle said he had the blood of Jemengad in him.
Chen Ci clenched his fist and looked towards the sea. Everything had become calm. The blood of the primitive creatures had been diluted by the sea water and was difficult to see. Only some corpses and body parts remained on the shallow beach.
Fu Tianhe returned to Chen Ci's side, a little out of breath. The edge of the mechanical crab's shell had burrs, and he got scratched a little when he opened the shell. Fortunately, there was a layer of cocoon on the palm of his hand, so he didn't suffer any serious injuries.
Everyone noticed Fu Tianhe's heroic performance as he rushed forward and praised him highly. Only a few Alphas sensed the existence of mental power and turned their eyes to Chen Ci, and were surprised to find that he was actually an Omega.
Although powerful Omegas and Alphas can possess mental power, there are too few Omegas after all. Not to mention the strength displayed by the young man in front of them, which simply crushed all of them.
The Alpha dressed as a sentinel came over, still bearing traces of a fierce battle. He noticed the unfamiliar faces of the two and said, "Thank you for your help. You look a little unfamiliar."
Fu Tianhe: "Oh, we just came here the day before yesterday. We had a shipwreck and drifted on the sea for several days. It was thanks to Brother Song Wangdui who saved us."
Song Wangdui also came over and said, "Captain Zhang, I rescued them both on the East Coast the day before yesterday. They were in a very bad condition at the time, so I temporarily placed them in my home.
The Alpha named Captain Zhang nodded and smiled. "No matter what, I have to thank you both. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how long it would take us to drive these guys away."
People who don't know the situation may think that they are just two people, so how could they take all the credit for driving away the original creatures? However, as a powerful Alpha, Zhang Mingzhi knows clearly the role of mental power.
The moment the vast mental power was released, the primitive creatures retreated back into the sea in unison as if they had heard an order.
Fu Tianhe waved his hand: "You are too polite, we are just doing our best."
An Omega with such strong mental power is definitely not an ordinary person. Although this Alpha did not have any mental fluctuations, he was agile and even made a crack in the crab shell with his bare hands. It is hard to imagine how much force he used in that move.
Zhang Zhiming: "Where are you two from?"
"Oh, we—" Fu Tianhe was about to answer Chensha when Chen Ci nudged him lightly with his elbow. The young man said in a calm voice, "We are from the Moon Rain Principality."
"Ah, yes, yes, we are from the Moon Rain Principality." Fu Tianhe said with a smile, "My name is Fu Tianhe, you can just call me Xiao Fu, and he is Jiuyue."
Although he had never heard of the Moon Rain Principality, Zhang Zhiming did not ask any more questions: "No matter what, a guest is a guest. Let's hold a celebration banquet today, and it's also a good opportunity to welcome the two guests."
Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe got to know many people again. When the sky got light, they returned home with Song Wangdui. Zhuomacuo was surprised to see the three of them return so quickly: "Is everything going so smoothly today?"
Song Wangdui nodded, briefly explained the situation to Zhuomacuo, and finally said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the two little brothers we rescued are so powerful."
Fu Tianhe waved his hand quickly: "Brother, you are too polite. If you hadn't found us that day, we wouldn't know where we are lying."
Zhuomacuo had already prepared breakfast. Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci sat at the table. They were hungry after running around outside. As for Da Congming, he stayed outside and got a big meal of meat with the other dogs.
The celebration banquet Captain Zhang Zhiming mentioned was held in the afternoon. Everyone pulled up lights in the open space and moved in a few large tables to form an open-air banquet hall, with soft grass as carpet and the bright stars and moon as decoration, enjoying the natural scenery to the fullest.
As long as the people in the neighborhood had nothing important to do, they all came over. Every family would bring one or two dishes, and together they formed several large tables of food.
This is a border post with not too many people living here. Everyone knows each other and they talk about the thrilling events of this morning, laughing and chatting. It is very lively.
At least in Fu Tianhe's impression, he had never experienced such a lively time.
This is especially true for Chen Ci, who is used to hiding in the crowd, but has become a striking presence here.
As guests, Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe naturally attracted a lot of attention. As the largest land area today, countless tourists come to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau every year to travel and experience the natural life on the land, but few tourists come to this remote area.
Chen Ci listened to everyone chatting. Although he did not participate, he was happy to know the information provided in the jokes. He often turned his head to look at Fu Tianhe. Alpha and Zhang Zhiming had a very pleasant conversation, and they felt like fish in water. With such a personality, there should be few people who would dislike him.
Suddenly, that feeling of being spied on came back again.
Chen Ci raised his eyes silently, put down his chopsticks, and stood up alone.
"What's wrong?" Fu Tianhe asked.
"Go to the bathroom."
Fu Tianhe said "oh" without any suspicion. Chen Ci left the table and walked towards a place where the light could not reach.
He came to the wall of a nearby blockhouse and wandered around aimlessly, scratching the grass with his toes.
Suddenly, Chen Ci took a step forward and reached out to grab something hidden under the grass.
The blue mechanical water droplet instinctively struggled in Chen Ci's hand, and then it realized that it was caught, and immediately stood still, pretending to be just a discarded part.
Of course, Chen Si would not be kept in the dark. He flicked it with his fingers and put it in his pocket.
The blue water drop silently shed a cyber tear.
Chen Ci returned to the table and sat next to Fu Tianhe. Fu Tianhe was persuaded by everyone to drink a little wine, or maybe not just a little, because he felt dizzy.
He held the wine glass and was about to pass it to Chen Ci: "Would you like some?"
Chen Ci took a sip and found it was highland barley wine brewed by the locals themselves. It had a refreshing and mellow taste. It was said that this kind of barley wine was difficult to make you drunk and you wouldn't get a headache after sobering up.
He nodded to indicate that it tasted good, and saw Fu Tianhe's eyes bright with a smile.
After three hours, Fu Tianhe had gotten to know everyone at the celebration banquet and successfully became one of their friends.
The temporary mark made Chen Ci smell like Fu Tianhe's pheromones, and everyone tacitly assumed that they were a couple. The two parties did not explain anything. Their previous situation was a bit complicated, otherwise there would be a lot more to say.
When Fu Tianhe returned to Zhuomacuo's house, he was obviously drunk.
He automatically followed Chen Ci to his room, and only after he entered did he belatedly realize that he seemed to have gone to the wrong place.
Ah, do you want tonight -
Chen Ci: "Come on, I have something to ask you."
Fu Tianhe immediately put down his feet that were hanging in the air without hesitation and walked into the house.
Chen Ci sat on the bedside, motioning Fu Tianhe to come over. In the faint smell of alcohol, he took out a blue mechanical water drop from his pocket: "I just found this thing."
Fu Tianhe took it from Chen Ci and after just a few glances, he recognized that the structure of this thing was extremely complex and sophisticated, and it was cutting-edge high-tech.
"It should be a camera, and it also has a shapeshifting function." Fu Tianhe studied it, and his reaction was a little slow due to being drunk. "Well... it would be nice if I had a tool at hand--"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ci handed him a flat-blade screwdriver.
Fu Tianhe took it and was about to dismantle it.
Blue Water Drop:!!!
It couldn't bear the fate of being demolished, and began to twist in front of the two people, trying to escape.
Caught in Chen Ci's hand.
"I suggest you behave yourself." The boy's voice was calm, but it sounded like a notice from hell, "Otherwise I don't mind crushing you bit by bit with my feet."
Blue Water Drop: …………
It shed invisible cyber tears again.
