Chapter 13
An Heng stayed in the treatment pod for three days, and Davis did not intend to pull his life value back to a normal level. For experimenters, Alphas were undoubtedly terrifying, capable of counterattacking at any time, even if they were weakened, they were still stronger than most Beta experimenters. So Davis could only afford to use low-grade treatment fluids on An Heng, and even wasted most of his time in the treatment room, under the guise of observation.
The current An Heng made him very itchy.
Especially before losing consciousness, that dog-like gaze made Davis really want to put a collar on him and dedicate himself to the other. He called this desire - sacrificing everything for "art".
He obsessively looked at the Alpha in the treatment pod, lightly stroking the Alpha's cheek through the glass cover, and when An Heng lost his usefulness, he must keep An Heng, take him home, and enjoy him, or be enjoyed by him.
When An Heng woke up, he thought Le Congyu had probably already left the base smoothly, but the Omega had not, and was now squatting miserably in front of the treatment pod.
His waking up meant the treatment was coming to an end.
On the way back to the room, Le Congyu told An Heng what he had done in the past few days. He had followed some of the more important experimenters in the base, remembering many passwords, but those passwords were not just a single layer of lock, some required verification of the experimenter's fingerprints, and some required verification of the experimenter's work card, which had special chips inside.
An Heng listened to him ramble on and on about a lot of things.
The Omega in front of him had a cold appearance, looking a bit unapproachable when not smiling. He was not a typical Omega, neither delicate nor soft. When his phoenix eyes were fixed on you, they even had a stronger possessiveness than most Alphas, more like a fierce wolf than a gentle sheep.
The Alpha did not blame the Omega for not listening to him and putting himself in danger. He looked at the Omega with gratitude, "Thank you, you've been a great help to me."
In the past, the system could also do these things, but their mission was not to escape, the main storyline events would be driven by the protagonists.
He only needed to play the role of a saintly Alpha, not too smart, just extremely compassionate. When alive, he would be disliked for being too kind, and when dead, he could earn a wave of "reader" tears.
That would be enough.
The Omega snuggled up to him, "Can I get a reward?"
An Heng instinctively retreated, but he was bound by the chains and couldn't back up much. He couldn't directly refuse the Omega, so he tentatively asked, "What kind of reward?"
"I want to kiss you," Le Congyu answered without hesitation.
"No!"
An Heng said seriously, "This kind of intimate contact can usually only happen between mates, at least for me. You know, I'm grateful to you, but that's just gratitude, not love."
The Omega stared at him blankly.
The deep sadness in the other's eyes made An Heng almost unable to help but reflect on himself.
His words seemed a bit too cruel.
The Omega bit his lower lip, struggling for a long time before mustering up the courage to ask, "Then if one day, you also like me, can I keep kissing you? I don't even need your consent to kiss you?"
An Heng: "?"
He really wanted to say that the Omega had kissed him before without his consent.
But in the end, An Heng swallowed those words back.
And...
What does "keep kissing" mean?
An Heng couldn't help but imagine the scene of the Omega hanging on him and kissing him non-stop for twelve hours a day, a reincarnation of the woodpecker?
It's true that his pheromones were woody scented, but the Omega's pheromones were not bird-like.
"No." An Heng refused, "You can't keep kissing."
The Omega instantly drooped his head, looking very disappointed, "Okay, then just occasionally."
Kissing once every hour, each time for half an hour, that could be considered occasional, right?
The Omega felt this was the greatest concession.
An Heng: "..."
He was at a loss for words.
Strangely, the Omega comforted himself and set this as his goal, busying himself every day, determined to memorize every corner of the base.
An Heng did not stop him, and after confirming that Le Congyu would not expose anything, just let him do as he pleased. If he really didn't let Le Congyu do anything, the Omega might go crazier than him.
The Alpha who had just undergone treatment was not suitable for pheromone extraction, so An Heng had a few peaceful days, except for Davis, who came to his front every day as if going insane with infatuation.
At first, when Davis came, Le Congyu was not present, so An Heng didn't know what the other had said. But one time the Omega excitedly ran back, wanting to tell An Heng his new discovery, just to hear Davis saying tenderly to An Heng, "Oh, you are so enchanting, like a pure and flawless angel. I'm completely bewitched by you!"
An Heng: "..."
Le Congyu: "!!!"
Someone's stealing the show!
Le Congyu angrily rushed forward, slapping Davis a few times, putting on a show of what it meant to be furious. It's just a pity that those slaps couldn't really land on Davis' face, as he was mindful of his image in front of An Heng, only cursing in restraint, "Disgusting old man!"
An Heng laughed, unable to help but nod in agreement.
After that, Le Congyu paid extra attention to Davis' movements, and whenever Davis went to harass An Heng, he would follow. When Davis confessed his feelings, he would whisper all of Davis' faults into An Heng's ear.
An Heng didn't think he would like Davis, but the Omega seemed very uneasy and angry, in the end An Heng still didn't stop the Omega's behavior, and sometimes even echoed a few words.
But most of the time, An Heng just listened to the two of them bickering back and forth, it was really noisy. Too bad he couldn't plug his ears, or make the two of them leave.
Another three days passed.
Another experimenter came to take An Heng away.
This female Omega experimenter was a little different from Davis. She was one of the rare gentle ones, and as a fellow O, she took good care of the protagonist.
Ling Shan was forced to come here, those people had detained her child, coercing her into doing AO experiments for them.
She also contributed to helping Chu Shu escape from here in the end. She was good to the Omegas in the base, but a little colder towards the Alphas.
Davis was more responsible for Alpha experiments, focusing on extracting Alpha pheromones, analyzing gene sequences, and producing artificial Alphas above B-rank, or pheromone attack weapons.
And Ling Shan was mainly responsible for Omega experiments, with the goal of upgrading Omegas, to allow them to give birth to higher-level offspring, so that the empire could have more S-rank AOs, or even super S-rank.
Chu Shu was the only S-rank Omega in the base, and in a year, he would have to start nurturing a new life. If it weren't for Ling Shan bearing tremendous pressure and insisting that Omegas only conceive after reaching adulthood, Chu Shu wouldn't even have that one year. Time was running out for Chu Shu, he was desperate to escape this place.
And Ling Shan was bringing An Heng for only one purpose - another Omega had entered rut.
Rut was not the same as heat. The experimental subjects living in this base, under various inhumane experiments, had their mental states precariously teetering, some going crazy, some dying. Before An Heng appeared, the mortality rate of the base's experimental subjects was as high as 50%, over 90% of the subjects developed mental illnesses.
"Professor Ling."
An Heng's sudden speech caused Ling Shan to pause in her steps. She generally disliked Alphas, but An Heng was an exception. An Heng's personality was very good, and he had helped her solve many problems. In fact, if it weren't for An Heng voluntarily soothing those AOs, relying solely on pheromone extraction methods, An Heng would have died long ago, and the extracted pheromones would not have been enough.
She still couldn't develop any affection for Alphas, but at least when facing An Heng, she didn't have to be so cold-faced. "What is it?"
An Heng asked, "Can you tell me which Omega I'm going to soothe today?"
Ling Shan was somewhat surprised, after all, An Heng had never asked before. She would just bring An Heng to the room, and no matter what kind of Omega appeared, An Heng would soothe them impartially.
She paused, weighing it in her mind, and still decided to tell the Alpha, it wasn't a big deal anyway.
"It's Chu Lei."
Ling Shan remembered the name of every Omega, and didn't use code names to call them. After answering An Heng's question, she still felt something was off, frowning and pondering for a while. "You suddenly asked for the Omega's name, is there someone you want to see, or someone you don't want to see?"
An Heng looked at her, his expression calm. "I refuse to soothe the Omega named Chu Shu."
Hearing An Heng's words, Ling Shan immediately turned cold. Chu Shu was the Omega she cared for the most, and more importantly, this Omega had some resemblance to her child. Now An Heng dared to tell her, refusing to soothe Chu Shu.
Ling Shan asked in a displeased tone, "Then what if I insist that you soothe Chu Shu?"
"Kill him, or commit suicide." An Heng answered.
Ling Shan immediately clenched her fists.
But in the end, she only coldly sneered and took An Heng into the room.
The room was still monotonously white, even the lighting was a cold purple-white. Chu Lei was restrained at the four limbs, constantly struggling due to the rut, her hair disheveled, her eyes bloodshot, muttering, "Kill me! Kill me!"
She had the same pheromone scent as Chu Shu, jasmine flowers, but it was a bit fainter than Chu Shu's pheromones.
Chu Shu didn't have much feeling for this twin brother of his. Even though their appearances were not exactly the same, Chu Shu still felt this sister was a copycat, liking what he liked, wanting what he wanted.
Unfortunately, Chu Shu didn't have a god's-eye view, until the end he didn't know how much Chu Lei loved this brother of hers. Those so-called "imitations" were actually all done to please her brother.
An Heng walked up to her, squatting down, and raised his hand to gently stroke Chu Lei's head, simultaneously releasing pheromones to soothe her.
Chu Lei gradually calmed down, and finally saw An Heng's appearance clearly.
He seemed like a deity who had stepped out of a painting.
Chu Lei blushed immediately, her heartbeat rapid. She stared at An Heng's exceptionally handsome face and called out pitifully, "Big brother An Heng~"
*
On the way back, Le Congyu was still angry, "You've never touched my head! She even called you big brother An Heng!!"
Le Congyu got angrier and angrier, putting on a nasal and affected voice to call, "Big~ brother~ An~ Heng~"
An Heng: "..."
