Do Aliens Also Have Arranged Marriages? - Chapter 15

Chapter 15 – “Let’s Go Home.”

Chris is dead.

The companions who had come out of the base together a few hours ago turned into aliens right before their eyes. As they watched the body in front of them gradually burn into ashes, a trace of trance appeared on the faces of several members of the search team.

They were clearly saved, so how come… they were still infected?

All along, the search team’s mission locations have been in safe zones that have been cleared of alien species. Having stayed in the safe environment for too long, they almost forgot the cruelty of the catastrophic world outside the base.

High-risk contacts, including those who have long-term contact with the body, blood, and secretions of alien species, usually have a greater chance of being infected.

The soldiers of the Army already have transplanted “seeds” in their bodies and will not be infected again. However, if they cannot control the “seeds” in their bodies, they will also become aliens.

Shen Yan put down his gun, turned his cold eyes to the other people, and gave them orders without hesitation: “Continue to observe the other high-risk contacts. If any abnormality occurs, eliminate them immediately.”

Jian Ning’s consciousness floated in a strange space.

A small ball of black mist appeared in front of him, and it looked very familiar.

This ball of black mist was different from the other two that he absorbed. It looked very weak and its color was much lighter.

The black fog looked like it had been gnawed by someone’s teeth, leaving it in an irregular jagged shape. In the center of the black fog, a few wisps of scarlet mist were faintly floating.

The black fog looked very dull, as if it had sensed his presence. It jumped in front of him and rubbed his palm carefully.

Before he could react, he suddenly saw the black mist suddenly penetrate into his chest——

Just then, a gunshot woke Jian Ning up.

His body trembled, he opened his eyes blankly, and found that he was the only one in the car.

Jian Ning subconsciously looked out of the car window and saw that the team member named Chris had mutated and was then killed by Shen Yan.

Certain bloody memories resurfaced in his mind.

Jian Ning pursed his lips.

Shen Yan was decisive in his actions against the aliens. If his identity was discovered by him, he would probably suffer the same fate.

He must find a chance to leave as soon as possible.

Jian Ning saw Shen Yan turn around and walk towards the armored vehicle, and quickly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Shen Yan opened the car door and saw the young man who was still sleeping. He moved quietly, got in the car and closed the door.

Shen Yan looked calm. He gently lifted the young man’s head with his palm and let him lean on his shoulder again.

——The Omega on the verge of estrus needs the Alpha’s pheromones to comfort him. He is just doing what he should do.

Jian Ning: “……?”

Ah this.

What is this doing?

Why did Shen Yan let him bury his face in his neck like a pervert!

Jian Ning was bewildered.

But as the rich and cool cedar pheromone entered his breath, some confusing fragments suddenly flashed through his mind-

He lay on Shen Yan’s shoulder with a flushed face, sniffing Shen Yan’s neck back and forth, exclaiming “What a nice smell” while smelling.

“…” Jian Ning’s face suddenly became red.

It turns out he himself is a pervert.

The breathing near the gland suddenly became rapid, and Shen Yan immediately noticed the abnormality.

The expression on his face paused, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he asked, “Awake?”

The tone is firm.

“…”

He has been discovered.

Jian Ning silently raised his head, said nothing, and sat upright.

“Are you still feeling uncomfortable?” Shen Yan turned his head to look at him.

“Well, I feel better.” The inexplicable heat from before seemed to have temporarily faded away.

Jian Ning pretended nothing had happened, moving his body little by little, increasing the distance between himself and Shen Yan, and finally sitting far away on the other side.

He didn’t even dare to look up at Shen Yan’s expression, and therefore ignored the brief blush that rose on Shen Yan’s ears.

As for what happened not long ago, both of them tacitly did not mention it again.

Shen Yan lowered his eyes, and his gaze suddenly stopped on the back of his hand.

There was some blood on his hands- it was Jian Ning’s blood.

The amount of bleeding on Jian Ning’s body was definitely not just a “minor injury” as he said.

Just now when the two were very close to each other, the strong smell of blood on his body attracted Shen Yan’s attention, but Jian Ning did not seem to be affected by these injuries.

The atmosphere in the car was silent. Jian Ning suddenly remembered something and glanced at Shen Yan calmly. He asked tentatively, “Admiral Shen, what did you find in the ocean center? Have you cleared out all the alien species in there?”

“Yes.” Shen Yan continued: “In addition to the one you met, there were two other alien species inside. They were already dead when we entered.”

“The bugs in the passage ate them all, leaving nothing behind.”

“Bugs?” A hint of doubt appeared on Jian Ning’s face.

In the passage, his eyes turned back into those of the alien species and he could barely see the front clearly, so he didn’t pay much attention to the abnormality of the black fog around him.

But now that he heard Shen Yan say that the bugs had eaten the corpse, he was able to find a reason to distance himself from the deaths of the two alien species.

As expected, Shen Yan touched the dried blood on the back of his hand and spoke casually, “What happened to you in there? The people outside told me that you helped them hold back an octopus alien.”

Here it comes.

He is going to start editing.

Jian Ning blinked, a trace of fear gradually emerged on his face: “Well, at that time I shot the alien with a gun and took advantage of it to run down the stairs. The stairs were very narrow so it didn’t catch up with me. Later, when I was running away, I was too nervous and lost my sense of direction, and accidentally entered another passage.”

After Shen Yan heard this, he said “hmm” lightly, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, and said calmly: “Didn’t you kill it?”

Jian Ning’s expression froze and a chill rose on his back.

He was not sure whether Shen Yan’s question was a simple inquiry or a rhetorical question after discovering something.

Jian Ning could only grit his teeth and continue acting. He pinched his thigh hard, and his eyes were suddenly filled with moisture.

‘Damn, I pinched you too hard, it really hurts.’

At the same time, his fragile and pale face was full of confusion and fear, and the moist and slightly red corners of his eyes made him look extremely innocent.

He shook his head in panic: “Of course not.”

Jian Ning sighed tiredly inwardly. His lifelong acting skills were brought to their peak in front of Shen Yan.

Shen Yan looked at him steadily, then looked away and said nothing more.

The question just now seemed to be the former.

They returned to the base in fear, and fortunately no one mutated again. However, this does not mean that they are completely safe. Those who are infected need to be observed for at least 6 hours.

Before isolation, injured people can temporarily receive simple treatment in the isolation room.

Apart from John and Chris who were already dead, the only ones who could be considered injured in the entire search team were Lao Yang and Jian Ning.

Lao Yang’s severed hand was temporarily treated and the blood loss was controlled. The situation is not too serious, but he may find it difficult to hold a gun again in the future.

Jian Ning on the other side seemed to be the one in a more serious condition.

The torn sweatshirt on Jian Ning’s body looked like it had been shot by several rounds of dense bullets. Although it was difficult to see the amount of bleeding through the black clothes, the strong smell of blood on the body was enough to make people imagine how many terrible wounds were left inside.

But when the doctor came over with a worried look on his face to treat him, Jian Ning held on to his clothes tightly and refused to let go.

“Doctor, I can apply the medicine myself.” A trace of guilt flashed in Jian Ning’s eyes.

The wounds on his body had healed long ago, and now there wasn’t even a scar left.

Now if he took off his clothes, the truth would be revealed.

The doctor stared at him in amazement, and it was not appropriate to just force it open, so he finally called Shen Yan.

Even after seeing Shen Yan, the young man opposite who was suspected to be seriously injured did not give in, and tightly grasped the combat uniform jacket on his body.

“I don’t like others touching me.” Jian Ning’s thick black eyelashes drooped, and he looked uneasy.

Shen Yan looked at him and asked, “Do you need my help?”

“…Huh?” Jian Ning looked up with a look of surprise on his face.

Shen Yan: “I can help you treat your wounds. I have learned emergency trauma treatment.” He thought for a moment and added, “I have a certificate, don’t worry.”

Jian Ning: “…”

He quickly refused: “No, no, it’s really not that serious, I can do it myself!”

Seeing that he insisted, Shen Yan didn’t say anything more and looked at the doctor beside him: “Prepare things for him and let him do it himself.”

There are surveillance cameras in the isolation room. Jian Ning took the medical box and pretended to lift up a corner of his clothes. He dipped the iodine and ointment in turn, and reached into his clothes to apply them. He pretended to be done before putting the things back where they were.

This time the quarantine time is longer than the time when I first entered the base.

At the end, Jian Ning came out of the isolation room and met Talia and others who had also come out.

It was a familiar scene, reminding him of the day he first entered the base.

But Talia, who had always been cheerful and outgoing, now had a gloomy expression.

Seeing Jian Ning, he smiled and said, “It seems we are lucky. None of us were infected.”

Jian Ning could see that although Talia was smiling, there was no smile in her eyes.

During the trip, she lost two companions, and even the deputy captain Lao Yang, who had been in the same team with her for many years, was seriously injured. He probably would not be able to go out on missions again in the future.

Talia looked at him with a worried look in her eyes: “How are your injuries? Are they serious?”

Jian Ning shook his head. “It’s nothing serious. It will be fine in a few days.”

Talia sighed and rubbed her brows: “Thank you, Jian Ning. I heard from the thin man that it was you who saved them. I’m really sorry that you got injured on your first mission.”

There was a hint of apology in her eyes: “I need some time to adjust. Maybe I won’t be leading the team to take on missions in the short term. You should take this time to recover from your injuries. We can go on missions together again when we have the chance.”

After saying goodbye to Talia, Jian Ning suddenly became dejected and found a seat to sit down.

It’s over. Talia won’t be going on missions for a while, so how can he find a chance to leave?

Not far away, Feng Qi saw the young man sitting in front of Shen Yan’s isolation room, with his head lowered and a worried look on his face.

He raised his lips and took the initiative to walk over and introduce himself: “Hello, I’m Feng Qi, the captain of Team 1 of the Mopping Force, and I’m Shen Yan’s subordinate and friend.”

“Hello, my name is Jian Ning.” Jian Ning nodded perfunctorily at him and continued to stare blankly at the closed isolation room in front of him.

He was thinking about how to find another way to leave.

Feng Qi followed his gaze and couldn’t help laughing: “Are you waiting for Shen Yan?” He shrugged, “You don’t have to wait for him. Shen Yan will probably take a while to come out.”

Jian Ning: “Ah? Shen Yan?”

Jian Ning realized belatedly that he seemed to be sitting at the door of Shen Yan’s isolation room.

But the man’s words made him curious: “Aren’t all your people out? Why is Shen Yan still there?”

Feng Qi’s eyes flickered and he made an excuse: “Well, he still has to report on his mission inside, so it will take a long time.”

Jian Ning understood and continued to sit in his original position.

He said sadly, “It’s okay, I’ll just stay here for a while.”

He didn’t want to wait for Shen Yan, but he was still feeling the blow of his hopeless escape plan and really didn’t want to move.

After hearing this, Feng Qi in front of him showed envy, jealousy and hatred on his face.

By the way, when will the commander-in-chief arrange a marriage for him?

Turning his head and looking at the closed isolation room, Feng Qi sighed.

However, the existence of this Omega in front of him might make it difficult for Shen Yan to step into that abyss.

Jian Ning originally just wanted to sit in the hall for a while, but when he curled up in the chair, he fell asleep unknowingly.

It was late at night when Shen Yan came out of the isolation room.

He saw the person waiting at the door, and a hint of surprise appeared in his cold eyes.

Shen Yan walked up to the man and stopped.

“Jian Ning.” His voice was very light. “Let’s go home.”
