HISO Chapter 63
by VolareIt was only by chance that he glanced at the date and realized that almost half a month had passed outside while he was in the valley.
Now, the Aulost people are also looking for the key.
To that end, they can destroy the lives of an entire train.
And now the second key is in the hands of Senior Shen Yinbei at Rong Nan Base. He doesn’t know what kind of horrific things will happen by then.
He needs to hurry.
Yu An saw a horse-drawn sleigh in front of him. The passenger seats even had windows. He stepped forward and said, “Master, I want to go to Bianhan Town. Can you give me a ride? How much will it cost?”
He still had a lot of crystal cores left.
“No money, it’s very close. It’s not easy for you young people to come out to make a living in this snowy weather.” The old man spoke Chinese with a bit of an European accent, but the vocabulary he used was very local.
It was obvious that he had lived here for a long time.
Yu An thanked him gratefully.
The wind and snow were really too heavy. On the way here, half of his scarf had been blown off. He casually adjusted it, intending to get on the sleigh.
However, the old man looked at his pretty and well-behaved little face and seemed frightened. He trembled and waved his hands repeatedly, “You’re an Omega, right! I don’t take O children.”
As he said that, he was about to drive the horse away quickly.
Yu An was stunned.
There was no village in front and no store behind. If he stayed where he was, he didn’t know when he would be able to wait for someone else.
Moreover.
Why was this old man so wary of Omegas?
Yu An instinctively felt that something was wrong. Seeing this, he quickly stopped the sleigh and said, “Old Master, I’m a Beta, I have an ID card.”
He never thought that the fake ID from Ruined City would actually come in handy.
The old man with purple eyes looked at him for a long time, confirming that he really wasn’t a little O, before he agreed to give him a ride. Yu An pretended to ask casually, “Old Master, what happened in town? Why don’t you take Omegas?”
“Don’t mention it, the Omega children in our town often go missing.” The old man seemed unwilling to say more, afraid of attracting trouble, and said, “Child, hold on tight, close the window if you’re cold.”
“Thank you.”
Yu An sat on it.
He said to System 089, “089, check the situation in this town.”
[Okay, it might take a little time.]
“Okay.” Yu An felt a bit cold and wanted to close the window. At that moment, however, he smelled a trace of sandalwood in the cold wind mixed with thin snow.
Xie Jinsheng?
After a few seconds of Stupid, he came back to his senses.
It must be his imagination.
That tentacled monster wasn’t afraid of the cold, and his movement speed in his inhuman form was fast. He didn’t need transportation at all. He probably left long ago, so how could he still be here?
Yu An denied his own thoughts and closed the window. After a moment, he closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep.
Half an hour later, he arrived at his destination. 089 hadn’t returned yet. He left a crystal core and got off the sleigh.
What came into view were people coming and going, all of whom were Alphas. They looked fierce and were not easy to mess with.
They were mercenaries.
They weren’t governed by the military, but were teams formed as small groups to kill infected creatures. Besides obtaining crystal cores, they probably also engaged in some gray transactions.
Yu An immediately hid in a corner, and as soon as there were fewer people, he immediately went to the ticket hall, intending to buy a ticket and leave this town as soon as possible.
He saw a young man with long golden hair inside. He was enchantingly beautiful, with a pair of fox eyes, and looked very young, but his expression was listless.
Probably because there was heating, he was wearing very little, playing with a model in his hand, and his tone was very cold, “Tickets are sold out, come back tomorrow.”
Yu An clearly saw the extra tickets.
So he took out a few crystal cores.
The young man glanced at him, unmoved. Yu An immediately raised the price.
“Want to discuss it with me?” The long-haired man finally smiled, picked up this small pile of crystal cores, and stood up.
He was half a head taller than him, estimated to be about 1.81 meters.
Yu An paused and nodded.
The next second, all the crystal cores were pushed back into his arms. He heard the other party’s voice close at hand:
“Then listen to my advice, don’t come back, there will never be tickets here, no amount of money will work.”
Yu An was stunned.
“Little friend, if you want to leave here, unless you’re a mercenary, or you’re a mercenary’s lover. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can endure the disgust and come back alive under them, good luck.” The young man said with a smile, and turned around.
At that moment, Yu An caught a glimpse of the back of his neck.
This person was also an Omega.
But that spot was empty, the gland had been dug out.
Yu An was shocked and squeezed out a sentence after a while, “Sorry for disturbing you.”
“Remember to close the door tightly when you go out, I’m afraid of the cold.” The young man said, covering himself with a blanket, and continued to rest.
Yu An went out the door, his mind still replaying the scene just now.
At this time, 089 had already returned: [Host, I’ve found out, this town is not a good place!]
It was a gray area, the resources here were endlessly plundered by countless teams of mercenaries, and even Omegas were not spared.
Not only were there dirty gland trades, but also other… horrific things.
Outsiders were not allowed to take the train to the base, only mercenaries could. Before, someone stole a ticket to get on the train, but because they couldn’t produce a mercenary certificate, they were thrown into the pile of infected creatures on the spot.
Yu An was stunned.
It seemed that the long-haired man didn’t sell him the ticket precisely because he wanted to protect him.
[I found out that the desert people, that is, Dong Ge and the others, when they came here before, couldn’t stand the atmosphere here and planned to go to the base to report it.]
However, where exactly was the end of this gray transaction, that they dared to be so rampant? The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
[In short, it’s estimated that it will take quite a few days for the base to send people to pacify this place.]
Time didn’t allow them to stay for so long.
But were there only two paths to choose from, disguising himself as an Alpha to become a mercenary, or going to… seduce a mercenary?
But he couldn’t just run off and randomly become someone’s wife again, right?
Not everyone had as good a character as Xie Jinsheng. Although his personality was a bit bad, he had never really bullied him.
Yu An paused for a few seconds and forcibly stopped his thoughts.
It was already dark. He should find a place to rest for the night first, and then carefully consider what to do next.
Yu An was very well covered up along the way.
However, the mercenaries’ pheromones were scattered everywhere, and the sense of oppression was too strong, as if they were silently carrying out a spiritual deprivation of the ordinary people in this area.
Yu An didn’t have any marks on his body, so he couldn’t resist at all. By the time he reached the relatively peaceful southern part of the town, his legs were already weak.
Not paying attention, he accidentally stepped on a glass bead buried by a kid from someone’s family and fell directly into the snow.
“…” Yu An shivered from the cold, his cheeks frozen to a Shiver, and was about to climb out on his own.
There was movement next to him, it was a man covering his face fully armed in the winter.
089 looked intently.
Strange, why was this tall, 1.9-meter back so familiar?
Not knowing whether the other person was good or bad, Yu An subconsciously felt a little scared and shrank in place, playing ostrich.
Until the other person reached out to him and said, “Donne – moi les mains.”
——Give me your hand.
Was this a French person?
He didn’t know if the other person had a cold, but his voice was very low, and if you listened carefully, it was a little familiar. But at the moment, the wind was too loud and drowned it out.
“Thank you.” He handed his hand over. After a while, he suddenly remembered and added a sentence in French – of course, he only knew this one sentence.
He wasn’t wearing gloves, and his slender, delicate fingers were frozen to a translucent pink at the joints.
Yu An didn’t want to cause trouble, patted off the snow, and quickly left.
The teenager was timid, and therefore very cautious, afraid that he was a bad person and would be followed, so he made several detours in a row.
Xie Jinsheng: “………”
He stood in place, and suddenly wanted to laugh in exasperation.
