Until he set out the next day, Chen Nian still hadn't remembered what Alpha was called, but he saw the word "Drake" on the pass.

Chen Nian just remembered the name for the time being, after all, the other party had given him a nice gift.

Whenever a big event is about to happen, the upper level will distribute some passes to give the residents of the underground city the opportunity to participate.

Drake is a member of the Transportation Department. This time he was lucky enough to get a pass that allowed him to bring one extra person with him, so he was able to invite Chen Nian to go to the upper level with him.

Chen Nian followed Drake and followed the crowd onto the large elevator leading to the top floor.

Almost two years have passed since the last time he came here. Since he differentiated into an Omega, Chen Nian has never set foot on real ground again.

Jiang Dai was unwilling to let him go up there.

When Chen Nian was a child, he always wanted to see the real sunshine and night sky, but Jiang Dai would always use other things to divert his attention and brush the matter off lightly.

Over time, Chen Nian also realized the problem.

He is not a fool. Jiang Dai's serious injuries and the overly strict security system at home all point to a possibility - Uncle Jiang is most likely a wanted man.

Maybe Uncle Jiang found him by chance while on the run. Chen Nian didn't care much about the so-called truth. He only knew that Jiang Dai was the one who raised him and treated him best. If anything happened, he would definitely stand firmly on Jiang Dai's side.

He always helps his relatives but never helps others.

"Are you happy?" Drake asked him in a low voice. There were a lot of people on the elevator, and he and Chen Nian were standing in the corner and felt a little crowded.

But this was exactly what Drake wanted, as it gave him the opportunity to put his hand on Chen Nian's shoulder.

"Yeah." Chen Nian smiled at him, "I haven't been there for a long time."

He is shorter than Drake, and when he raises his face, from the Alpha's perspective, he can clearly see his white neck and the large area of ​​skin exposed from the collar.

Chen Nian wore a gland-protecting necklace decorated with thin metal chains. It looked more like an interesting collar than an ordinary medical collar.

After all, the upper floor was not the place where he usually made trouble. Chen Nian put on his coat obediently and did not use temporary spray to dye his hair into other colors. His black hair was soft, and when he kept silent, he looked like a very good child.

However, the cunning in those amber eyes still exposed the Omega's nature that was difficult to conceal.

Drake's heart was filled with excitement. What could be more exciting than making the Omega he had always wanted to pursue happy?

He even had a premonition that if he behaved better today, maybe in the evening he would be able to take advantage of the right atmosphere and coax Chen Nian into bed and take her virginity.

You should know that there are several betting lines in Zone Z, betting on who can successfully get the first blood of Chen Nian.

Many Alphas have joined in, including some with families.

Chen Nian is the tuberose that blooms wantonly in the dark night, emitting a charming and rich fragrance, attracting Alphas to flock to her, wanting to crash into the flower bud and absorb the sweet liquid.

If successful, Drake will not only marry the beauty and win a large sum of money, but will also become the most prestigious Alpha in the entire dungeon.

Drake was daydreaming about "I want it all" and didn't notice that Chen Nian had already looked away and was observing his surroundings.

The elevator rose steadily and evenly, vertically across the entire beacon, and took them to the top floor several kilometers high.

People no longer live on land.

Thousands of years ago, climate change triggered a massive flood. The land collapsed in the violent movement of the earth's crust, and the entire planet was gradually submerged.

At the moment of life and death, all mankind united together, using top technology and all resources to build six supercomputers as the last refuge.

These supercomputers are also called beacons. They are constantly calculating how to solve the problems they are facing every minute and every second. At the same time, they float above the sea and use their bodies to provide homes for humans, the creators.

The beacons have existed on the flooded planet for thousands of years, absorbing special raw materials from the seabed through pipes to obtain the energy that drives their operation.

The six beacons are Cinnabar, Three Waters, Smoky Quartz, Blue Alum, Star Leaf, and Moonlight which had long since fallen due to ineffectiveness.

The place where Chen Nian currently lives is the No. 13 information processing area of ​​the first beacon "Cinnabar". Because it is located inside and without sunlight, it is also called the underground city.

Beacons are all named after minerals or gemstones, and this naming method has become a fashion in the upper class society.

The current crown prince of the empire, Shavlei Vitalievich, is the best example. The young Alpha, just like his name, is the most shining treasure of the empire.

However, these have nothing to do with Chen Nian. Rather than paying attention to the social background, he wants to see the unobstructed natural scenery on the top floor as soon as possible.

The elevator began to slow down, and the slight feeling of weightlessness made my body feel a little uncomfortable. After waiting for a few minutes, the entire ascent finally stopped.

Under the eager gazes of many underground city residents, the elevator door opened to the sides, and a ray of sunlight was projected into the cabin.

"We're here." Drake looked at Chen Nian. The warm light passed through the people and fell on the face of the Omega in the corner, making his amber eyes as clear as glass beads and showing a lighter color.

The two followed the crowd, walked out of the large elevator, and stepped onto the "land" on the top floor of the Cinnabar Beacon.

A breeze was blowing, bringing with it the fragrance of unknown flowers and a hint of water vapor.

Chen Nian couldn't help but take a deep breath. The smell of the air was obviously different. There was no longer the stench of garbage and sewage, nor were there all kinds of messy pheromones mixed together.

People living at the top, whether they are Omega or Alpha, will precisely control the release of their pheromones to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Drake's pass only allowed him to watch the royal procession in this area, but it was enough for him to make Chen Nian happy.

"It's about to start." Drake took Chen Nian's attention as if he had become his Omega. "Follow me closely. There are many people here. Be careful not to get lost."

Chen Nian followed Drake and looked at the city across from him.

Complex buildings stand like a steel jungle, sunlight can fall into every window, and naturally occurring rain will hit the glass instead of sewage leaking from the pipes.

There will be no occasional electric leakage, and people can live freely under the sky and enjoy nature.

The streets had been cleared in advance, and people from the underground city stood behind rows of guards and cordons, waiting for the royal procession to pass by.

Although Chen Nian was beside Drake, her mind had already flown elsewhere.

He saw the magnificent clock tower not far away, and the huge hands were moving silently with the passage of time.

It is the tallest building nearby. If you go to the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire area. There is wind and sunshine, and perhaps even clouds will float within reach.

“Here it comes!”

Not just someone shouted, the crowd started to stir, and those who came late and had to stand at the back began to lift their feet or step on something, trying to see more clearly.

The team came from the other end of the street, and the electronic cordon was deployed to form a barrier.

Chen Nian had no interest in the so-called royal parade. Compared to those people whose names he couldn't remember, the clock tower was more attractive to him.

It was not until the team had walked halfway that Chen Nian reluctantly withdrew his gaze amid the noise.

He looked up and saw the mechanical warhorse passing by through the transparent electronic protective barrier.

The white and gold warhorse is very tall, and every joint and every inch of its lines reveals a special beauty that is the fusion of machinery and biology.

The Alpha, dressed in gorgeous clothes, rode on horseback with a straight posture and his hands holding the reins with distinct joints.

The platinum-gold hair was so light that it was almost silver in the sunlight, and the violet eyes were looking steadily forward. The current crown prince of the empire, Shavlei Vitalievich, was passing in front of Chen Nian.

Behind Shaflay was an equally luxurious mechanical carriage, the windows of which were covered with a one-way viewing layer, so one could not see inside from the outside, but it did not prevent people from imagining how beautiful the Omega sitting inside was.

Because the person sitting in the carriage was the noble Elector of the Empire, who was also the future Crown Princess and the only orphan of Grand Marshal Chen Wei.

The prince's wife is a very mysterious person. In today's information-rich world, even her name has never been made public, let alone what she looks like.

The princess was raised in the White Tower since she was young, and she only had a few fragments of information about him, which made her full of imagination.

Chen Nian watched for a few minutes with little interest. When the distinguished eldest prince and princess passed by, he could not help but cast his gaze towards the clock tower again.

It’s not certain when I’ll be able to come up next time... Chen Nian pondered, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

The parade gradually faded away on the other side of the street. Drake looked away and rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand.

Like many Alphas here, he had been trying his best to smell and try to catch the pheromone scent emanating from the carriage, which came from the princess.

It was said that he was a top-level Omega that was rarely seen in a century. He did not expect to see the other person's appearance, just tasting the pheromone was enough.

Of course, Drake heard nothing.

Although it's a bit of a pity, he still has Chen Nian.

Drake put away all his thoughts of eating swan meat and said to the Omega beside him, "Chen Nian, there happens to be a bar nearby, let's go... Eh? Where are the people?"

Alpha looked around in confusion. The place where Chen Nian was originally was now empty without him noticing.

The parade drove into the courtyard for a rest.

Shafley got off his horse and got into the carriage behind him. He couldn't help but close his eyes tightly.

The tall and handsome man looked bright and handsome, but he was actually sleepy and sunburned.

Chen Ci, who was looking outside through the one-way visible film, moved to the side to make room for Shafley, and reached out from the small cupboard to take out the sunscreen spray for him.

Omega's wrists, as white as porcelain, peeked out from cuffs embroidered with intricate gold patterns.

Chen Ci looked out the window again, and after a moment of silence, he said softly:

"I want to go out."

Shafley took the spray and sprayed it on his sunburned arms and neck. "Same old place?"

"Um."

"I'll take you there," Shafley agreed. He took two sips of water and said, "Remember to come back on time. I can't keep it a secret for long."

"Thank you." Chen Ci nodded slightly, his expression still indifferent, as if nothing could make him happy anymore.

He lifted the slightly long hem of his white robe, followed Shaflay out of the car, and walked into the building with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, pretending to go to the bathroom.

Only when Shafley was with him did Chen Ci not need to be accompanied by other people.

The two men came to the bathroom door, and Shafley took out his portable terminal, hacked into the nearby security system, and temporarily blocked the surveillance cameras on Chen Ci's route.

He did it very skillfully and it was obviously not his first time.

"Go ahead. You only have five minutes to get there. Be as quick as possible."

Chen Ci nodded and said again, "Thank you."

Alpha's mental power was released silently, following behind Chen Ci, ensuring that he could leave the building unimpeded and head to the clock tower a hundred meters away.

Shafley waited until the surveillance was restarted and confirmed that the camera did not capture Chen Ci's figure before returning to the parade.

After a short break, the parade was about to continue, and the steward came to check on Chen's speech.

As he approached the carriage, Shafley was the first to say, "He's asleep."

The butler nodded and stopped looking inside the carriage to disturb Chen Ci.

Shaflay remounted his horse, and behind him was the empty carriage.

No one could have imagined that the noble eldest prince would lie.

This was his compensation to Chen Ci. As her fiancé, Shafley knew very well what kind of life Chen Ci had been living.

The White Tower is nothing more than a luxurious bird cage, locking up Omegas who have to go through layers of approval before even leaving the house.

It wasn't just the engagement between the two that put Chen Ci in this situation. He could only help to the best of his ability.

The parade continued, and Chen Ci, who was supposed to sit quietly in the carriage, had already arrived at the clock tower.

I have walked this route many times and am very familiar with it. I don't remember when it started, but at almost every large event like this, Chen Ci would sneak out for a while under the cover of Shafley.

This is one of the few free hours he has.

He walked up the stairs to the top of the clock tower.

Although Chen Ci looked slim, he actually had quite good stamina. He walked up more than twenty floors in one breath and was only slightly out of breath.

As they were approaching the top floor, Chen Ci couldn't help but quicken his pace. He left the stairwell and walked through the deserted corridor.

I never expected that the moment I turned the corner, I bumped into someone head-on.

"Hmm."

"oops!"

The collision was so strong that both Chen Ci and the other person cried out in pain. Chen Ci took two steps back and apologized subconsciously.

"Feel sorry--"

However, the moment Chen Ci saw the person in front of him clearly, all the sounds were strangled in his throat.

His amber eyes widened in disbelief, revealing a look of surprise for the first time in his life.
