Do Aliens Also Have Arranged Marriages? - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 – Going to the Defense Center

“Is that so…” Jian Ning silently glanced at the thin lips that he had kissed last night, and asked hesitantly: “Is the probability of infection from high-risk contact very high?”

“It’s uncertain.”

Shen Yan began to change his clothes, and with his fingertips, the metal buttons were passed through the buttonholes one by one.

“According to the information currently released by the institute, there are no definite indicators for infection with alien species. If ten people encounter high-risk contact at the same time, it is possible that only one person will be infected, or it is possible that all ten people will be infected. However, high-risk contact only makes the probability of infection relatively higher at present. Before this, some people have experienced alienation after only being in the same space with alien species for a short period of time.”

“But before yesterday, the premise of infection was that these people had contact with alien species within a short period of time.”

He adjusted his collar, looked up at Jian Ning, and said softly, “Come out with me.”

“Okay.” Looking at the man in military uniform, Jian Ning was stunned for a moment and temporarily buried the uneasiness in his heart.

The arranged armored vehicle was ready downstairs. After the two got in the car, the soldier in charge of driving started the engine and drove the vehicle quickly towards the city defense center.

It was nearly nine o’clock in the morning. The streets that had been hit by the riot had been cleaned overnight, leaving no trace of the chaos that had occurred the previous night.

There are still a lot of people on the street, but at a glance, there seem to be very few Omegas to be seen.

Yesterday’s attack injured many Omegas, and a few even had their glands permanently damaged. Even if the riot was quelled, the remaining Omegas would not dare to go out at this time.

The comments made by the man in white quickly fermented on the Star Brain. The speed at which the base deleted them could not keep up with the speed at which the video spread. Many Alphas began to have some thoughts of making a move, and Omegas were even more worried.

Jian Ning opened the Star Brain and finally had time to read last night’s news.

Before the last mission to the Ocean Center, Talia had pulled him into the search team’s group chat.

Last night’s riot naturally attracted their attention, and they asked about Jian Ning’s condition in the group.

【Yang Lele: @Jian Ning, something happened outside, are you home? Don’t go out! 】

【Talia: I just sent a message to Jian Ning, but he hasn’t replied yet…】

【Thin guy: That kid wouldn’t want to die like this, would he? I just reminded him to be careful this morning.】

There were some people below, names that Jian Ning was not very familiar with, but the series of messages in the group still made him feel their concerns at the time.

However, at that time, Jian Ning was busy running away, and then he was entangled by Shen Yan who was in the susceptible period and couldn’t get away, so he didn’t have time to pay attention to the news.

He moved his fingers slightly and reported his safety to the group.

【Jian Ning: I’m fine, don’t worry (*^▽^*)】

He automatically omitted what happened yesterday, making the people in the group think that he just spent a peaceful night at home.

【Yang Lele: That’s good. We couldn’t get in touch with you yesterday and we really thought something had happened. We almost rushed to find Admiral Shen to save you.】

【Thin Guy: Oh, he has Admiral Shen to protect him, why should we worry about him? 】

【Yang Lele: Hey, skinny guy, why are you so nosy! Who was asking for the admiral’s ID number in the group yesterday?】

【Thin guy: ……】

The group chat became active again. Looking at the messages, guys Ning couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

But soon, the arc drooped again.

Did yesterday’s incident have anything to do with him?

The kiss last night didn’t seem to have any effect on Shen Yan for the time being, but he remembered what Shen Yan said in the morning – there is still no accurate explanation of how alien species infect humans.

If he continues to stay at the base and come into contact with humans, is there a chance that he will infect other people?

Jian Ning was very worried about this.

After a while, the armored vehicle stopped at the gate of the city defense center and two people got off.

Jian Ning followed Shen Yan step by step into the dark gray building.

As soon as they entered, Du Suo was already waiting for them in a prominent position.

“You’re here so soon?” Du Suo looked a little surprised, and glanced calmly at the young man following Shen Yan.

Fortunately, the Omega looked intact with no missing limbs.

The destructive power of an Alpha in the susceptible period is incredible, not to mention a transformer like Shen Yan who has lost control of his mental power several times.

Although each time Shen Yan’s loss of control only manifested itself in more brutal killings of alien species, those horrific and brutal acts did indeed terrify those who witnessed them.

When watching the two people leave yesterday, Du Suo actually felt a little guilty towards Jian Ning who was completely unaware of the situation.

As a poor Omega who was tricked into marriage as soon as he entered the base, he might not know what happened to Shen Yan until now.

Du Suo patted Shen Yan’s shoulder, somewhat relieved that Shen Yan was able to control his emotions well during his irritable and susceptible period. But the next second, the hand he had just placed on Shen Yan’s shoulder was ruthlessly shaken off.

The pair of cold eyes in front of him narrowed slightly, and the chilling gaze looked very dangerous: “Don’t get so close to me.”

Alphas in their susceptible period are extremely hostile to their own kind.

Du Suo’s mouth twitched and he quickly withdrew his hand.

Shen Yan asked: “Have the top decision-makers and the commander-in-chief been notified?”

Du Suo sneered and shrugged his shoulders after hearing this. “Except for your father, none of the others are willing to come into contact with alien species. In addition to the riot yesterday, the matter has been fully handed over to the military.”

“That’s fine.” With those people around, it would become inconvenient to do anything.

Shen Yan: “Has the commander-in-chief arrived?”

“Yes, he is in the monitoring room. Feng Qi is reporting the situation to him.”

“Okay, let’s go first.” The two of them walked straight to the inspection room. Before they had taken two steps, Shen Yan suddenly stopped.

He turned around, looked at the young man standing there, and called his name softly.

Jian Ning: “…”

He really didn’t want to go.

For an alien like him to have confidential discussions so close to a human base…seems a little inappropriate, right?

Jian Ning hesitated on the spot, and Shen Yan did not move at all, maintaining this posture, looking at him quietly.

After hesitating for a while, Jian Ning sighed, chose to compromise, and continued to catch up with Shen Yan.

‘Okay, okay, after all, the Alpha cannot do without him during such special periods.’

Supervision Room—

Feng Qi’s eyes were dark, as he had not slept the whole night. He was trying his best to report the situation of the previous night in detail to the commander-in-chief.

In the room, there were several captains of the guard force and the extermination force, all of whom had participated in the suppression last night.

“Knock knock—” There was a knock on the door, and several people looked towards the door.

“Come in.” Shen Qing could guess who was at the door just by listening to the two knocks on the door.

The door opened and a group of people led by Shen Yan walked in.

Looking at the person sitting in front of him, he nodded and saluted: “Commander-in-chief.”

Jian Ning heard the address and felt a little confused.

Shen Yan said before that he and his father had an average relationship, but now it seems that it is not an average relationship at all, they are clearly superiors and subordinates in a clear hierarchy.

On the opposite side, Shen Qing was used to this.

He nodded lightly and looked sternly at the black-haired young man beside Shen Yan.

The young man looked a few years younger than Shen Yan, with a pair of clear and bright eyes, and it was obvious that he had no bad intentions.

When standing together with Shen Yan, the two have completely different temperaments, but the auras between the two are very subtly integrated together.

Shen Qing’s tense cheeks twitched a little, and he seemed to want to reveal a kind smile, but this expression obviously rarely appeared on this serious face. For a moment, it made him look even more unapproachable.

“Hello, Jian Ning. Nice to meet you. I’m Shen Yan’s father.”

The gaze from the opposite side was so sharp that it seemed to be able to directly penetrate his disguise and see his true identity.

Jian Ning swallowed his saliva, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his palms.

Shen Qing has been a soldier for decades. His aura is different from Shen Yan’s. He exudes the majesty and oppression that has accumulated over the years.

Jian Ning silently took a half step back, lowered his eyes, and whispered, “Hello… Commander-in-Chief.”

He really couldn’t think of how to address the stern and serious officer opposite him, so he followed Shen Yan’s way.

His every move was watched by Shen Yan, who immediately blocked Shen Qing’s sight for him.

Even though the other party was his father, Shen Yan didn’t like the excessive attention he paid to his partner.

Shen Qing noticed his actions and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

After a simple greeting, they started talking about business.

Shen Qing: “I plan to ask Dr. Jiang to come back early. The situation of this batch of out-of-control Alphas is not optimistic.”

“Shen Yan, I need you to bring a small team to pick up Dr. Jiang.”

“What about the Fran base?”

“I’ve already contacted the base. His students will be there to handle the finishing touches, so don’t worry.”

Shen Yan nodded: “Okay, when do we leave?”

“The situation is urgent. You must leave this afternoon at the latest.” Shen Qing also heard that Shen Yan had entered the first susceptible period. His eyes moved to the young man next to him again, “Do you need Jian Ning to accompany you?”

Shen Yan paused slightly, his brows unconsciously wrinkled.

The thought of being separated from his Omega made him resist from the bottom of his heart.

But……

Shen Yan turned sideways and glanced at Jian Ning beside him.

It seemed that he didn’t expect him to turn around suddenly, and Jian Ning didn’t have time to hide the expectation in his eyes.

After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: “No need. Let him stay in the base.”

The journey to the Fran base is long, and even by aircraft it takes most of the day. The risk factor along the way is extremely high, and there is a high probability of encountering flying alien species. There is no need for him to let Jian Ning take risks because of his own abnormality.

Even though… for some unknown reason, Jian Ning seemed to want to leave the base.

After making the decision, the next step is to finalize the specific details one by one. During the whole process, Jian Ning wished he could plug his ears.

After the meeting, Shen Yan suggested going to see the situation of other captured Alphas.

There were originally plenty of detention rooms in the city defense center, but after yesterday’s rioters were locked up, they suddenly became full.

Most of the rioters were injured by bullets yesterday. While they were being treated, Du Suo also injected them with sedatives and anesthetics as Shen Yan said. Most of them are now in a drowsy state.

The group walked through the detention rooms one by one. Feng Qi said, “Those who have undergone alienisation… have been cleared. I also recorded some of the conditions that don’t look right. Do you want to take a look?”

Shen Yan: “Let’s go.”

Following the number in the sealed record, everyone walked to a detention room and opened the door. A tall and strong man was lying on a narrow folding bed, looking weak and powerless.

Hearing the voice, the man opened his eyes slightly, his gaze penetrated the crowd and looked straight at Jian Ning who was standing behind.
