Do Aliens Also Have Arranged Marriages? - Chapter 25 PT2

Chapter 25 PT2 – Shen Yan’s Doubts

On the shore, the boy called the guards in the base and looked at the slowly flowing river in front of him with a worried look on his face.

According to the young man, the person who committed suicide by jumping into the river had been in the water for more than ten minutes. After such a long time, there is still no sign of him floating up from the water. I’m afraid he is in great danger.

The guards sighed, prepared their salvaging tools, and were about to go down to the river—

Suddenly, a head popped out of the river.

Everyone was stunned.

After surfacing, Jian Ning’s face was filled with anxiety. He didn’t dare to relax at all. He swung his arms quickly, and water splashed behind him.

He swam towards the shore at an astonishing speed.

“…”

The guard looked at the salvage tools in his hands and quietly put them aside.

After getting ashore, Jian Ning gasped for breath.

“Quickly notify Shen…” He suddenly remembered that Shen Yan had already left the base, and said, “Notify Admiral Du Suo or Captain Feng Qi of the Qingming Army!”

“An alien species swam into the base from the river!”

Alien invasion is the highest level risk for the entire base.

Before leaving, Shen Yan temporarily handed over the task of wiping out the troops to Feng Qi. Soon, Feng Qi and Du Suo arrived at the shore with two groups of people respectively.

When they saw Jian Ning, they were both very surprised.

Feng Qi noticed the bloodstains on his clothes and asked with a frown, “Jian Ning? Why are you here? Is this the alien you found?”

Jian Ning looked anxious, “Yes, I just went into the water… and swam for a while, and I found a strange species in the water!”

The boy next to him: “?”

Took a swim?

Who the hell swims underwater for more than ten minutes without coming up?

Before anyone could speak, Jian Ning continued, “There are many alien species in the river. They are very small and look a bit like tadpoles? But they are much smaller than tadpoles. Their state in the water is very strange… First they gather together into a whole, and then suddenly disperse.”

Feng Qi’s expression turned serious: “It should be a group-type alien.”

During the mission a while ago, Team 1 encountered a large number of swarming alien species. They were almost bitten half to death by those things. Fortunately, Shen Yan received the signal and came over in time.

Although the swarming species are small in size and have limited attack power, they are extremely difficult to deal with because they are accustomed to hunting in groups. Few people can deal with dozens of them at the same time and escape unscathed.

Feng Qi: “Approximately how many are there?”

If the number reaches several hundred, they must clear the entire river immediately.

Jian Ning hesitated, recalling the huge shadow whose shape could not be seen clearly.

There are so many concepts that it is difficult to estimate the number.

He said uncertainly: “Maybe… tens of thousands? Well… hundreds of thousands is also possible.”

Feng Qi and Du Suo: “…”

Both of them looked unhappy.

Without wasting time, Du Suo opened his Star Brain and quickly issued an order: “Immediately block the riverside of the city! Notify the command center and issue a high-risk warning immediately. There is an alien invasion in the river in the city. Keep everyone away from the river!”

“Engineering Department, close the upstream gate immediately! The downstream gate and protective net are temporarily open!”

“Guards, Team 3467, prepare dredging tools and weapons, first level external protection…”

A series of orders were passed down to various departments one by one. Upon hearing the news of alien invasion, no one dared to slack off.

Soon, the cold mechanical reminder sounded in every corner of the base——

[People near the riverbank, please stay away immediately! People near the riverbank, please stay away immediately! Aquatic alien species have invaded the city river, please do not approach the dangerous area!]

The sluice gates upstream are closed and the downstream is dredged, so that most of the alien species in the water can leave the base along the river. After the river is cut off, the military personnel will go down to the river and clean up the remaining alien species in the mud at the bottom of the river.

This is a very tedious job.

The base had not seen any signs of alien invasion from outside for several years. After last night’s riot, everybody in the base all had their own thoughts. When they heard the alarm in the base, everyone’s attention was immediately diverted to this information.

The invasion of alien species will always be the primary threat to human survival.

The forum exploded again.

[46L: Alien invasion? Really? Could it be to divert attention from what happened last night?]

[47L: Isn’t there protection for the river base? How did the aliens get in? ]

[48L: The military has gathered by the river. The guards and the extermination troops are all here. I heard it was a small alien species. It was probably forced through the protective net…]

[49L: Ahhhh help, the things in the water shouldn’t crawl onto the shore, right? ]

At the same time, Shen Yan on the aircraft also received a call from Feng Qi.

Listening to the report from the other side, Shen Yan’s expression was cold.

How could it be such a coincidence that an alien invasion occurred just after he left the base?

Shen Yan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: “We will send more people here when the river is cleaned. The soldiers under Du Suo are ordinary people, and the risk of infection is very high. As for other matters, listen to Du Suo’s arrangements. In addition, don’t let down your guard at the Defense Center.”

“Okay, got it.”

After arranging the work, Shen Yan did not hang up the phone immediately, but asked about other things: “There is one more thing, you said, was it really Jian Ning who found the alien in the river?”

“Yes, he said he wanted to go swimming in the river…”

This lame excuse left Feng Qi speechless.

However, the other party was silent for a moment, but asked: “Is he hurt?”

Feng Qi’s mouth twitched, and he said hesitantly: “It seems so. He was soaked at that time, and there was blood on his clothes. He must have been bitten by those alien species a few times.”

Shen Yan rubbed his fingertips on his shirt which was stained with lychee-scented pheromones, and his breathing suddenly stopped.

How many times had he been bitten?

He remembered that Jian Ning was very afraid of pain.

On the way back from the ocean base, Jian Ning just pinched his leg and his eyes were filled with tears due to the pain.

Jian Ning seemed to want to soften his heart and stopped asking further questions.

Jian Ning thought he didn’t notice those little movements, but Shen Yan was observing him at the time, and all the subtle movements of Jian Ning’s body were captured by his eyes.

But in the end, Jian Ning’s goal was achieved. He looked at the moist and slightly red eyes and temporarily gave up questioning the Omega who was still in a fragile estrus period.

Shen Yan looked out the window, thought for a few seconds, and said calmly: “Okay, I understand. Let him take care of his wounds. Jian Ning is a high-risk contact, take him to the institute for isolation first. Don’t let him leave the institute before I come back.”

This was not the first time that suspicious points about Jian Ning had been exposed. The previous minor problems could be attributed to the fact that he had some secrets that he did not want to reveal to everyone. However, based on his observation, Jian Ning showed no signs of causing any harm to the base.

But right now, the alien invasion is clearly related to Jian Ning in some unclear way.

Shen Yan couldn’t tell whether his tolerance and trust in Jian Ning was due to his current susceptible period.

But he knew that after the invading alien species were cleared out of the base, the first key target to be interrogated would be Jian Ning.

Even if the commander-in-chief would not use those cruel torture methods because of his relationship with Jian Ning, those in the highest decision-making level would not agree.

As for Jian Ning’s interrogation, he had to come in person.
