HISO Chapter 69
by VolareYu An thought 089 was worried about him catching a cold, feeling a warmth in his heart, and quickly picked up the long coat beside him.
Actually, he felt that the standard clothing here was too revealing, and the pants were too tight. Just going out like that made him feel inexplicably shy.
Fortunately, he had observed that this place was quite reasonable. Perhaps fearing insufficient heating, they allowed workers to wear coats.
After changing, Yu An walked out, perfectly blending into the crowd in the employee break area.
If he remembered correctly.
His target, Hao Jian, was scheduled to start his shift at 18:00 today.
There were still half an hour left.
Yu An planned to sit down and wait, constantly thinking about the plan in his mind.
But he heard a few working Omega chatting beside him—
“Did you guys hear? A very powerful top-tier Alpha mercenary has come to town recently. He’s been fighting for two days, and no one on the arena can beat him.”
“Really? That’s amazing. He must be even stronger than the previous champion,” someone replied.
Humans love gossip.
Yu An couldn’t help but listen in, and like everyone else, a strong Alpha, perhaps even with a beard, appeared in his mind.
When he was learning about the town yesterday, he had identified several highly ranked mercenaries, all of whom were strong Alphas who looked like butchers.
The newcomer could beat those people, so he should be similar.
“Wrong! Totally wrong.”
The Omega said excitedly:
“You guys haven’t seen the new champion in person. I caught a glimpse of him from afar. He’s devastatingly handsome! And very tall, at least six-foot-three, with a cold and aloof demeanor and a godlike physique. His eyes are cold and indifferent, like he’s looking at a dog. Most importantly—I heard he doesn’t have an Omega by his side yet.”
Many of the Omegas present perked up at those words.
After all, this era was chaotic, and foreign Omegas generally had a hard time. Only they, the local little Omegas, were protected by their families, so their situation was a little better.
But still, Omegas would occasionally disappear in the town. As for why they were kidnapped, everyone knew.
Therefore, to survive, they had to seek the protection of the strong.
Only Yu An, listening to these descriptions, froze in place, and the figure of Xie Jinsheng inexplicably appeared in his mind.
After a moment, he sighed.
…What’s wrong with him lately? Why did he always think of that tentacle monster whenever he calmed down? Wondering how he was doing these past few days, whether his tentacles became even harder to retract in the cold weather.
After a while, Yu An suppressed his thoughts and returned to the matter at hand.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the hall in front, followed by someone being dragged out, crying and shouting, “I was wrong…”
It was chilling.
Yu An stood up with the others.
Seeing several workers returning from the hall, the crowd rushed forward to ask what had happened.
“She had ulterior motives. That Omega tried to seduce the new champion, splashed red wine all over him, and even tried to use pheromones…”
Of course, she didn’t succeed.
Everyone saw the consequences.
The person in charge passed the word: “The champion said he has a wife. Anyone who dares to seduce him will be killed.”
Everyone present shuddered upon hearing this.
In fact, it was not uncommon for Omegas in Utopia to do such things, and it was tacitly allowed. Moreover, the stronger the Alpha, the more they needed the companionship of soft Omegas, and most mercenaries were quite gentle.
But no one expected this to happen.
First setback.
It seemed that this new champion was a cold, indifferent, and faithful man who was not to be trifled with.
Definitely not someone they could cling to.
The Omegas didn’t dare to chat anymore and just stayed quietly in place. They heard that the hall outside was unusually noisy, with people coming and going.
This was not the case when he surveyed the area yesterday.
Yu An patted the Omega with the earring beside him and said, “Friend, what’s going on outside? I’m new here and don’t quite understand.”
The other person looked at him for a few seconds, frowned for some reason, and quickly explained to him:
“All the powerful mercenaries have been summoned today. I heard that this bounty mission is very important. It came from the Main City, saying they want to collect a dozen Omegas.”
Yu An paused, a little unable to react: “What do you mean?”
What did “collect” mean?
Moreover, the Main City was the largest human base, the heart of everything. How could anyone dare to engage in gray transactions?
“You’ll get used to it. These things happen a lot. Probably for some kind of experiment,” the other person explained, seeing his innocence:
“This time, they have requirements for appearance. They want a slim waist, white legs, and soft and obedient features… So, brother, remember to keep your head down when you see people these days, and wear a mask when you go out.”
He saw that he looked soft and obedient, perfectly matching those descriptions, and was afraid he would be taken away for experimentation.
Feeling the kindness, Yu An returned a smile: “Thank you.”
But in his mind, he was wondering what they wanted so many soft and obedient Omegas for?
It sounded like they were trying to create some kind of replacement.
“Alright, I won’t say any more, brother. It’s time for us to work. Let’s go make tea. We’ll be off work when we’re done.”
They were in charge of the tea room.
In seven or eight minutes, his target would change shifts. He could go out and grab the certificate and leave.
But for some reason, Yu An felt increasingly uneasy. This emotion reached its peak at the moment he heard the alarm and gunfire.
“089, what happened?”
The system looked like it had just finished scouting and returned panting: [Host, it’s bad. Someone sneaked in and tried to assassinate the Main City personnel who issued the bounty! Utopia has been sealed off and searched. Let’s hide quickly.]
This was terrible.
Yu An was covered in cold sweat.
He had also sneaked in. This was just too unfortunate.
This was completely a case of the city gate catching fire, harming the fish in the moat.
Just as Yu An was about to find a place to hide, his forearm was pulled, and he was led by someone to run to a spot at the end of the corridor.
He saw that the one who saved him was a grape-scented Omega, with a birthmark on his cheekbone, who said, “Let’s hide here for now.”
“How did you know I was…” Yu An asked subconsciously.
“Because the tea you took when you made tea was from my station.” Everyone was assigned to make a specific type of tea. This was also why Yu An, who had snuck in, was not noticed.
Yu An: “…”
“Sorry,” he said.
“It’s okay, I’m a little sick and wanted to rest,” the Omega said, coughing, with a hint of illness, making the birthmark on his cheekbone even more prominent.
089 stared for a few seconds, feeling frightened for a moment.
Damn it, was it an illusion?
Why did it think the Omega’s expression at certain angles looked especially like its host?!
As if he had been specially trained.
Yu An also felt a little strange, but the current situation was more urgent, so he had no time to think.
Hearing the footsteps outside the corridor getting closer, he knew this place couldn’t hide them at all.
“Thank you, but I have a way to get out.”
He didn’t want to implicate him.
Yu An turned around and went up the stairs, heading all the way to the top floor.
