HISO Chapter 114

Chapter 114: He’s Using You

Yu An’s slender waist trembled inexplicably, nearly causing his legs to give way and sending him stumbling into a snowdrift.

Fortunately, someone beside him gently supported him, allowing him to regain his balance.

“Be careful,” said the Omega named Xiao Sun.

He was also a member of the medicinal herb gathering team.

Yu An’s gaze instinctively flickered towards Xiao Sun’s lower abdomen before quickly retracting it, offering a word of thanks.

[Host, what was wrong just now?]

As soon as Xiao Sun had left, 089 asked with concern.

The path ahead was fraught with danger, and it didn’t want its host’s health to falter at this critical moment!

Yu An smiled, “Don’t worry, I just suddenly felt a little weak in the legs.”

He didn’t know what had caused it.

But he was back to normal now.

As he got out of the vehicle, he glanced down at the time. It had been quite a while; Xie Jinsheng should have received the letter he’d left behind by now, right?

Thinking of this,

Yu An felt much more at ease, turning his gaze forward.

Including him, there were five people on this morning’s herb-gathering mission. The other two were ordinary A-level Alpha from the logistics department.

There was also the Omega named Xiao Sun, and Qin Wuyan, who had several cherry blossom tattoos on his neck.

At that moment, the sky had already darkened ominously.

It looked like it was about to snow heavily.

“The herbs we need for this order are called Snowfrost Lotus,” Qin Wuyan said. “Everyone, let’s go to the tool shed up ahead to get our equipment.”

The others responded in agreement.

Yu An walked at the back, when he suddenly heard 089 say: [Damn it, Host, I have a really bad feeling about you, and I don’t know if I should say it.]

Yu An: ?

“What is it?” He frowned slightly.

[It’s not about us getting the key; it’s about you, Host. If I had to describe it…] 089 paused, then continued, [It feels like your house is on fire, already burning.]

Yu An: “………”

What kind of strange talk was that?

In all his years, he’d only ever heard the term “back palace on fire.”

Besides, he didn’t have a back palace.

He’d only kissed one person, and that was Xie Jinsheng.

But when he left, he had left a note and even drawn a simple picture of two hands making a pinky promise.

It couldn’t be that Xie Jinsheng, in a corner he couldn’t see, had started to lose it again, right?

The tool shed, marked with the banner of the Chasing Shadows 1 team, was already open.

Yu An dismissed the other thoughts from his mind and walked inside, selecting his herb-gathering tools.

Qin Wuyan stood beside him, watching him as if he was scrutinizing him.

This tattooed Alpha had acted like a simpleton when he was following Zhong Duoxiao, that pervert.

It must have all been an act.

This Alpha wasn’t stupid at all.

Yu An ignored his gaze, acting as if he hadn’t noticed it.

He’d gone all out with his fake Alpha persona for this outing today, even switching to a mold that resembled an Alpha’s scent gland and placing it on the back of his neck.

It was just a shame that he didn’t have any disguising pills, but he kept his face covered the whole way.

He hadn’t said a word on the vehicle either.

His presence was very low.

Unless Qin Wuyan’s ability was the support type…

Just as he thought this, he heard 089 say: [Host, rest assured, the 2S-level Alpha camps all have files. I checked, and his ability is attack-type.]

It seemed he still had to be careful.

If Qin Wuyan was the support type, he wouldn’t be too worried, because while this type of ability was rare, its strength was very low.

However, if Qin Wuyan was the attack type,

Then he must have someone supporting him.

That was the only way he could accurately find Omegas to intercept every time.

On this journey, besides Qin Wuyan, Yu An felt that Xiao Sun was a little strange.

However, he didn’t think the other party seemed like a bad person.

Ten minutes later—

The two Alphas and Qin Wuyan had expertly grabbed their tools and were already waiting outside.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind.

Yu An walked around the corner, and when the figure came into view, he grabbed the person’s hand and pinned them against the wall.

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

He was afraid that the other party would suddenly approach him sneakily and play tricks.

He heard Xiao Sun cry out in pain:

“No, no, no, you misunderstand! I know you’re also an Omega. Thank you for the suppressant the other day. I won’t hurt you.”

Yu An quickly glanced at his hand and, seeing that he didn’t have a knife, relaxed his grip a little, but still asked warily, “I’m not an Omega…”

“I have an ability,” Xiao Sun interrupted him. “Support-type, with a cooldown time. Today, I just happened to see your gender.”

089 immediately checked meticulously, capturing a trace of extremely subtle energy fluctuation: [Damn, he really does.]

Yu An was also stunned for a few seconds.

Something suddenly clicked in his mind, and he released him, asking, “You… you really just wanted to thank me?”

“More than that, let me tell you, it’s like this.” Xiao Sun lowered his voice, afraid that the other Alphas outside would hear. “Have you seen the situation in Bianhan Town before? There’s a monster in this place that specializes in looting and eating Omegas. Many Omegas have disappeared on the road.”

“But don’t worry, Qin Wuyan will take you down the mountain.”

Yu An looked at him, suddenly paused.

[He’s being deceived…] 089 said, then fell silent.

“Oh right, do you remember your roommate, Ren Ying? He’s also an Omega and is waiting for you in the pavilion up ahead. You can go to the base together then, so you can take care of each other along the way.” Xiao Sun was particularly happy, saying, “Once you leave the town, you’ll be free.”

Yu An’s throat seemed to be stuck, and after a long while, he asked with some difficulty, “…What about you?”

“Me?” Xiao Sun smiled a little embarrassedly.

He’d never really been accepted since he was little.

After the tide of infection, he was the only one left alive.

He’d accidentally hit his head before, losing a piece of his memory, and he didn’t know what was wrong with his glands, but when he woke up, they were full of needle holes.

His pheromones had also changed from cherry blossoms to Baby’s Breath.

Originally, he thought that a timid Omega like him would spend his whole life hiding and wandering alone in this ruined wasteland.

Until half a year ago, he met Qin Wuyan.

That Alpha was always cold and didn’t like to pay attention to him, and he seemed to have a white moonlight in his heart.

Most importantly, the other party wasn’t human, but a high-level infected.

But he still couldn’t help but fall in love with him.

A week ago, he even got the other party drunk and had a night with him.

Xiao Sun unconsciously touched his lower abdomen, saying:

“I don’t need to. I just want to stay in the camp and help the Omegas who come to the camp. Also, there’s A-Yan. Although he’s a little cold, he’s a good person. I’ve already found the meaning of my life.”

Seeing his appearance, Yu An paused, saying, “It might not… be a child.”

Xiao Sun looked at him, slightly dazed, and then smiled after a moment:

“So, you could tell. I know. But I looked up the data later, and children of humans and high-level infected aren’t all infected. There’s a 40% chance that they’ll be human.

Besides, A-Yan is a very good infected. I like him very much.”

–But he’s deceiving you.

Outside, it was silent.

Only the sound of wind and snow remained.

Xiao Sun was a little confused as to why it was so quiet outside the tool shed.

Yu An cursed inwardly.

“Get out of the way—” he shouted, pulling Xiao Sun aside.

The next second,

A huge ball of flames crashed into the place they had just been standing.

Half of the tool shed was instantly destroyed!

The banner of the Chasing Shadows 1 team was also half burned.

If Yu An hadn’t reacted quickly just now, the two of them would have been seriously injured!

Xiao Sun was completely stunned.

The past few months together had made him realize that this was Qin Wuyan’s ability.

Yu An looked at his dazed expression, suppressed the slight tremor in his voice, and asked, “Xiao Sun, Ren Ying’s pheromones, are they carnations?”

“Yes.” Xiao Sun had a bad feeling, asking, “What’s wrong?”

So that was it.

Yu An suddenly understood.

A few days ago, he had seen Qin Wuyan’s figure in the dense forest, as well as a string of carnation scents.

But at that time, he had smelled it carefully and found that it wasn’t pheromones, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Now he understood.

It was a gland.

After it was cut off, it became a normal floral scent.

“How could A-Yan suddenly use his ability? Outside, outside are there infected?” Xiao Sun wanted to stand up and go out in a panic.

Yu An grabbed him.

“It’s no use. He’s been using you all this time.”

Yu An said, feeling a little cruel, and his voice softened. Looking at the tear hanging at the corner of his eye, he continued:

“Those Omegas that he sent away, I’m afraid they’re all gone…

Because, he’s the one who’s been raising the monster in Bianhan Town.”
