HISO Chapter 31
by VolareChapter 31: Resting Together Tonight
Could that tentacled monster who killed Xiao Ning and stole the body be…
No, that’s not right.
Yu An subconsciously shook his head.
Although Xie Jinsheng was cold and ruthless, after spending these days together, he didn’t think the other party was someone who would wantonly bully a weak Omega.
Moreover, the matter of stealing the corpse was so bizarre and creepy.
Either it was hatred for Xiao Ning to the extreme, or it was…
Love to the extreme.
Could such emotions appear in a man like Xie Jinsheng?
Or, in the laboratory back then, was Xie Jinsheng not the only tentacled monster? Perhaps there was some misunderstanding.
While Feng Shu went to install the alarm, Yu An’s thoughts were still a little confused, and he asked, “089, can you find any relevant information?”
After a while, the System came back, spreading its hands, and said: [Since the laboratory was blown up, all the data was destroyed, and I can’t restore it. Does the host think this matter is important?]
Yu An pursed his lips.
Whether it was important or not, as far as this world was concerned, it was just old people and old events. And it had nothing to do with him, a person from the Space-Time Bureau.
Yu An just felt sentimental.
And, he was a little afraid that Xie Jinsheng would also be involved.
089 looked at Yu An’s expression and said firmly: [Host, don’t worry, that tentacled monster will definitely not be Xie Jinsheng! Think about it, if Xie Jinsheng really had a wife before, he wouldn’t let you get close at all.]
After all, the instincts of monsters were very strong.
Once they had their own little female, they would no longer have a good impression of the second Omega.
Even if they lost their memory, they would instinctively reject other Omega’s approach.
But the System had seen its host drill into Xie Jinsheng’s arms several times.
Although that Alpha was not comfortable with the closeness, he did not reject it. And the tentacles were friendly to its host…
Hmph, if it didn’t know better, it would have thought that its beautiful host from the Space-Time Bureau was Xie Jinsheng’s long-lost wife!
[If it’s hatred, it’s even easier to explain. Xie Jinsheng wouldn’t go whip the corpse even if he hated him.]
Even if that monster had enemies, it would only strangle people to death and throw them on the street. There was no need to go to great lengths to do such a thing.
Yu An also thought so.
But for some reason, he always felt that there might be some turbulent, unknown things buried behind it.
…It seems that when we get back on the train, we must let Xie Jinsheng hide his identity and avoid running into Lin Si!
Fortunately, that Alpha was not in the team.
Yu An thought and his mood instantly brightened.
After installing the alarm with Feng Shu nearby, only the last ray of afterglow remained in the sky.
When he returned to the camp, he found that everyone else had set up their tents.
Only he was left.
Yu An looked around a few times and asked the female military doctor Ling Xiaoxi beside him, “Excuse me, are there any extra tents?”
“Yes, wait for me to find one… Huh, where did it go?” Ling Xiaoxi searched for a while and said, “I remember it was clearly here just now, but now I don’t know where it went. Ah, I’m definitely going to be scolded by the deputy team.”
The tent was lost?
Yu An looked at her anxious look and said, “It’s okay. If you really can’t find it, I can sleep with someone else.”
“Really? Otherwise, you can sleep…” As she said that, Ling Xiaoxi was about to give up her tent.
Yu An looked at her tent, which had already been set up and had all her luggage neatly arranged, and quickly shook his head and said, “It’s okay, I’ll just solve it myself, thank you.”
He was a little worried about sleeping alone anyway.
After all, there were Alphas all around, and there might be a dangerous K6 lurking in the dark. If something unexpected happened in the middle of the night, he would be in trouble.
It’s better to have two people together.
But who should he look for?
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
It was that black-robed young man, trimming the surrounding bushes with scissors to prevent poisonous thorns from scratching people.
A faint sense of strong ability vaguely floated in the air.
089: […]
Why did it feel that this black-robed man was deliberately releasing his ability, wanting to attract the attention of its little pretty host!
As expected, Yu An was attracted.
This black-robed young man was taciturn, had a strong ability, and was also a Beta.
And he wouldn’t be K6—that infected creature was an Alpha.
But to be on the safe side, he still had to test it out.
He quietly sprayed some pheromone perfume, and soon the scent of peach Omega filled the air.
Xie Jinsheng paused slightly, and continued to cut the thorns without any waves.
“Why does it feel like there’s a strange smell nearby…” Yu An walked to his side and deliberately said this sentence, only to see the man beside him not reacting at all.
Was he really unable to smell it?
He secretly released a little of his own pheromones again.
The jasmine scent belonging to Omega instantly covered the peach scent.
Light, pleasant and sweet.
But very tempting.
Xie Jinsheng’s Adam’s apple rolled very lightly, his eyes darkened, and after a long while, he cut the branches nonchalantly. However, the force of the “click” was much heavier.
It was like silently enduring something.
After the test, Yu An was completely relieved.
This person was indeed a Beta.
He was about to open his mouth when he heard a voice behind him.
“Yu An.” It was the female military doctor Ling Xiaoxi, who also brought Cheng You, the high-IQ teenager of the same team.
“Have you found someone to live with? If you really don’t have one, choose one of the two of us, Youzi and me.” Ling Xiaoxi said, “I suggest you choose me. Cheng You likes to eat in the middle of the night and chatters like a squirrel, which is very noisy.”
“Sister Xiaoxi, why are you exposing my shortcomings,” Cheng You muttered, and also raised his forehead hair, and said to Yu An, “That, Senior Yu An, do you remember me.”
“You are?” Yu An asked hesitantly.
Searching through his memories, it seemed that this Cheng You and the original owner…
“We are classmates, but it doesn’t matter if Senior doesn’t remember me.” Cheng You showed a small tiger tooth and smiled, “If you are afraid, you can also sleep with me. Although I don’t look like I can protect people very well, I am an S-rank Alpha! It’s much stronger than a certain sister.”
Ling Xiaoxi: “…”
This little brat actually dared to imply something about me.
After a while, Yu An reacted. Except for Lin Si, no one else knew that his real gender was Omega.
These two probably felt guilty that the logistics were responsible for the lack of a tent.
Looking at the two enthusiastic people in front of him.
Yu An always felt that the surrounding air had suddenly dropped a lot, so cold that he shivered, and quickly said: “N-No need.”
He appreciated their kindness.
However, Cheng You was an Alpha, and the gender didn’t match; although Ling Xiaoxi was also a Beta, she was a woman, and her ability was still medical.
If he really encountered K6 at night, he might implicate the other party.
He could only find a strong Beta who was willing to share a tent with him.
After Cheng You and Ling Xiaoxi left.
Yu An’s eyes fell on one person.
Xie Jinsheng had been listening to what the young man and the other two were saying in the distance, but he couldn’t hear clearly what they were saying without stretching out his tentacles.
The scissors in his hand were squeezed out of shape.
Who knew, after a while, footsteps came.
The young man’s timid voice rang behind him: “Hello, there is one less tent in the team. Can I sleep with you tonight?”
At this moment.
The surrounding area, which was originally at low pressure, suddenly disappeared.
It was as if some humanoid refrigerator had suddenly been unplugged.
The blue-haired Alpha patrolling nearby found something under a tree.
Holy crap.
Why did the tent fall here?
It was wet and seemed to have been soaked in river water.
Moreover, it was covered with the pheromones of that top Alpha boss!
Not getting a reply for a long time, Yu An was a little uneasy.
The dusk had fallen to the horizon, and the sky was so dark that even a few meters apart, you couldn’t see each other’s eyes clearly.
“There may be advanced infected creatures coming at night,” Yu An thought for a while, and still told him truthfully, “If you mind, I can go find someone else…”
As he was talking, he heard a huge rolling sound from the small slope in front of him. Accompanied by the voices of several volunteers: “Get out of the way at the bottom of the slope!”
Then he saw a boulder rolling down.
It seemed like it was about to hit him.
Yu An’s pupils shrank, his body froze for a few seconds, and he was about to dodge.
Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed.
The next second.
The boulder shattered beside his ear with a bang, shattered by ice-type ability.
Countless dust dispersed.
And he was covered by the wide black cloak, and not a speck of dust could splash on him. He could only smell the man’s clear and cold aura.
…Such a familiar feeling.
That was what Yu An thought at the moment when he crashed into the other person’s chest unexpectedly.
