Do Aliens Also Have Arranged Marriages? - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 – An Opportunity to Escape

Jian Ning realized belatedly that the cold and sharp fragrance that always lingered around him in the bedroom, and the same smell he smelled when Shen Yan approached him today, could it be the so-called pheromones?

“…”

He quickly ordered a box of inhibitors online.

Soon, someone delivered the goods to our door.

Shen Yan was also at home, but his furtive act of receiving the goods did not seem to attract much attention from Shen Yan.

After dinner, they still slept in the living room and bedroom respectively.

Jian Ning hid in the bedroom. The familiar smell in the room showed no sign of fading. He felt the skin on the back of his neck starting to heat up again.

Without any time to waste, he opened the package of the inhibitor and gave himself an injection according to the instructions.

The moment the needle pierced the skin on the back of his neck, Jian Ning’s expression distorted out of control.

No, why does this thing hurt so much? !

After it was over, Jian waited quietly for a while, but found that the burning sensation showed no sign of fading.

He turned the box over and looked at the production date – it was not expired.

Is that because the dosage is insufficient?

After hesitating for a moment, Jian Ning tried another injection in the back of her neck.

Still no use.

“What is going on here…”

He shouldn’t have come to the human base. Were the inhibitors ineffective against alien species? Was he still in estrus?

Jian Ning sighed softly.

At this moment, his star brain suddenly emitted a notification sound indicating that a message had been received.

He turned on the Star Brain and found that it was Talia who sent the details of the search team’s next mission:

【Time: 9:00 a.m. the day after tomorrow (14th)

Mission location: Gather at the base gate hall and head to the Tidal Ocean Center

Number of people on the mission: 8

Mission content: Collect genetic samples of marine organisms Z13-Z26, D68-D91 sequences.】

As soon as he came back in the afternoon, Jian Ning informed the other side that Shen Yan had agreed to let him join the search team, and also taught him how to use a gun that afternoon.

Talia was naturally very surprised by this.

An Omega’s physique is not naturally suitable for heavy physical work. She agreed to let Jian Ning join because she wanted to give him the job of surveillance, which would be easy and safe. However, she didn’t expect that Omega learned how to use a gun in just one afternoon.

The DK12 is light in weight, but the recoil when it is fired is quite strong. An ordinary Omega will most likely be shaken and unable to hold the gun steadily at the moment of firing.

But being recognized by Shen Yan was enough to prove that the young man’s firearms skills were far beyond the passing line.

Talia welcomed Jian Ning’s joining and assigned the next task to him that night.

Jian Ning finished reading the task overview and then clicked on the file that was sent to him immediately afterwards.

According to information, before the end of the world, the Tidal Ocean Center was a large ocean center that combined observation and research.

Continue looking down, and there is a simple and clear electronic map at the back – the ticket center is at the entrance, and one can go directly into the tourist area through a narrow passage. After passing these two areas, the last one is the Marine Biological Research Institute which is not open to the public.

The mopping troops had cleaned up this place before.

After the disaster, there were no tourists in the entire ocean center. Only in the research institute area were there a few researchers who were unwilling to give up their scientific research results and stayed in the laboratory.

The sturdy laboratory is also a natural shelter to a certain extent, and the researchers have stockpiled a lot of supplies here in advance.

Unfortunately, one of the researchers mutated. In the closed environment, the others had no time to escape and soon became food for the alien. However, due to the laboratory’s protective measures, the alien was also trapped in the laboratory.

By the time the mopping-up troops cleared out this place, the entire ocean center, except for the starving and weak alien in the research institute, had only some long-dead marine creatures floating in the turbid seawater.

Recently, the base has decided to build an oceanarium in the base, taking into account that children born after the disaster have never seen real marine life. It needs to find the genes of those common marine life in the past for cultivation and reproduction.

The Tidal Ocean Center happens to preserve a relatively complete gene bank of marine species.

After reading the information, Jian Ning didn’t really take it too seriously.

He wasn’t really going to do the mission.

The day after tomorrow would be the time for him to blend into the search team and take the opportunity to leave the base.

Thinking of this, Jian Ning felt relaxed all over, and even the pheromones around him that had always made him feel hot became less unacceptable.

•|•

The base gate hall.

Talia saw the young man walking towards her with a backpack from a distance.

As the young man approached, she saw the bulging backpack behind him and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

“Jane, what did you bring? The base will be equipped with weapons and collection equipment… You… didn’t bring too many things.”

Talia saw that the heavy shoulder straps had left obvious dents on the young man’s thin shoulders.

Jian Ning looked mysterious, “They are all good things.”

Instant noodles, jelly, biscuits, and various canned meats…

This time, Jian Ning had a rare visit to the human base, so of course he had to stock up on some food to take away. In order to prevent any accidents, he also took the remaining box of inhibitors with him.

“…” Seeing that Jian Ning was unwilling to say more, Talia didn’t ask any more, “Do you want my help?”

“No, no!”

If someone saw the things in his backpack, wouldn’t it be obvious that he was planning to run away?

After getting on the bus, Jian Ning found that there were already several people sitting inside, most of whom were familiar faces from last time. He was in a good mood today and took the initiative to greet them.

Everyone nodded in response, only the tall and thin man at the side glanced at him, sneered and said nothing.

Jian Ning didn’t care about the man’s rudeness and found an empty seat and sat down.

At 9 o’clock in the morning, everyone arrived. Talia, who got in last, closed the car door and drove towards the metal gate that was slowly opening.

Talia checked the weapons and equipment while talking to Jian Ning, “Little guy, are you getting used to your life recently?”

“Hmm… Is it okay? The base is pretty good, with plenty of food.”

The armored vehicle had already left the city gate. Jian Ning kept glancing outside, trying to find a suitable opportunity to leave as soon as possible.

The two chatted casually. There were other people in the car, so Talia didn’t ask too much about what happened between Jian Ning and the admiral.

Along the way, the armored vehicle drove fast without any intention of delaying, and Jian Ning never found the right opportunity.

It was not until two hours later that the vehicle slowed down and finally stopped.

Everyone got off the bus and turned around. In front of them was a huge signboard with the words “Tidal Ocean Center” hanging high in the air. The building was dilapidated, the facilities were outdated, even the color of the signboard was dim and faded, and the surrounding area was deserted.

Before the disaster, many people present had been here with their former relatives and friends. Now standing in front of this familiar building, everyone felt emotional, as if they were recalling the prosperity of this ocean center in the past.

After a brief sigh, Talia was the first to break the silence and began to assign tasks.

Talia: “Lao Yang and I will explore the way, and the rest of you will follow us and march in a column. Jian Ning and the thin guy will keep an eye on the ticket hall and observe the situation at any time and provide support.”

No one present had any objection.

Soon, Talia led the rest of the group into the ticket hall and walked straight into the dark passage leading to the tourist area.

After Talia and others left, Jian Ning saw a tall and thin man walking towards him from a distance.

“So you’re an Omega? No wonder the captain was so interested in you last time. Tsk, I heard you’re married? You’ve only been at the base for a few days, and you’ve already hooked up with an Alpha. You Omegas are really…”

The tall and thin man did not continue speaking, but the sarcastic laughter that followed made everyone know what he was thinking.

The tall and thin man is a Beta. He has always believed that Omegas are parasites in the base. Why can Omegas get all the resources as a matter of course without having to pay anything?

Like this Omega in front of him who always looks innocent, he probably survived by stepping on many lives before coming to the base.

He had worked hard for three months of gun training before he passed the test and was qualified to join the search team. How could such a despicable and shameless vase Omega, who had only been in the base for a few days, easily join the search team?

The word “marriage” completely hit Jian Ning’s pain point.

He curled his lips, looked coldly at the man opposite him, and said provocatively: “You speak so dirty, didn’t you wipe your mouth when you went to the toilet this morning?”

He was about to leave, and he was too lazy to pretend to be a well-behaved and harmless Omega in front of these people.

Oh, marriage? He even threw the marriage certificate at the base. Don’t let anyone mention the word marriage to him again!

The sudden change in Omega’s tone startled the tall and thin man. After he realized what was happening, he cursed and was about to step forward and attack.

Jian Ning was not afraid of him and just did it with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

But at this moment, a series of abnormal electrical noises suddenly came from the two people’s star brains at the same time.

“Sizzle—sizzle—”

“…”

Tall and thin man: “Captain?”

There was no response.

Was there an accident over there? Or was it a signal problem?

The tall and thin man showed a hint of hesitation. He glared at Jian Ning angrily and said, “We’ll settle our accounts later. You continue to watch here. I’ll go in and take a look.”

Jian Ning: “Don’t I have to go in?”

“What’s the point of you following him in?” the tall and thin man asked impatiently.

Jian Ning was a little worried that something might happen inside, but when he thought that he could save himself the trouble and leave directly once the tall and thin man left, he didn’t say anything more.

The tall and thin man entered the dark passage leading to the tourist area.

Jian Ning looked at the direction the man left. It was pitch black there, like an alien’s mouth, waiting for its prey to fall into the trap.

As soon as the tall and thin man entered the darkness, he soon became silent, as if he had completely entered another world.

Jian Ning paused slightly and stood there staring at the dark entrance for a few minutes.

Everything was dead silent.

He pursed his lips and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he noticed that something seemed to move in the darkness.

The alien’s keen sense instantly made him aware of the abnormality.

No way, there really are alien species in this place?

Jian Ning thought about the people in the car and hesitated with his lips pursed.

Even though that rubbish just now annoyed him so much that he wanted to dunk on her, at least Talia had always been nice to him.

He thought about it, opened the Star Brain, and sent an urgent message to Shen Yan.

【Admiral Shen, there seem to be alien species at the mission location we are visiting today.】

He sent the coordinates.

After doing all this, Jian Ning looked into the depths again.

This should be OK, right?

He couldn’t defeat those aliens anyway, so going there would be just like adding another dish for them.

It seems that Shen Yan is also outside the base today. It won’t take much time for him to come here. If it’s any later, he will not be able to leave when Shen Yan arrives.

Jian Ning ignored his own uneasiness and was about to turn around and leave when his quiet Star Brain began to make a noise again –

“Zizi—Jian Ning…zizzi…quickly…go!”

“…”

He recognized it as Talia’s voice, the intermittent voice was full of fear, and it was obvious that she was in a very dangerous situation.

Even when she met the long-necked alien last time, Talia didn’t panic and lose control like this.

For a moment, Jian Ning’s feet seemed to be glued to the ground.

He looked outside at the vast blue sky and white clouds – ah, that was his hard-earned freedom.

Whether it was his alien identity or the estrus period that was like a bomb buried in his body and could ignite the fuse at any time, it urged him to leave the base as soon as possible and escape from Shen Yan’s sight.

But……

He lowered his head, and the Star Brain in his hand had returned to silence.

“…”

Jian Ning’s forehead twitched, and finally he turned around stiffly and walked into the darkness.

Never mind. He will probably have another chance soon.
