Do Aliens Also Have Arranged Marriages? - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 – Already Married

Jian Ning tried to struggle: “I’m only 20 years old this year, not yet of legal marriage age.”

The staff member continued to smile: “The legal age for marriage in the Central Base is 18.”

Jian Ning: “…”

Everything had been settled. Looking at the hot little red book in his palm, Jian Ning was silent for a moment and stuffed it into his backpack.

Only after that did he understand the significance of the roses and candies in the box.

It turned out that this was his wedding gift package.

Before Jian Ning left, Qin Xue hesitated for a moment, recalling some rumors in the base, and couldn’t help but call him: “Wait, Admiral Shen…”

Jian Ning turned his head to look at her.

“…Forget it, it’s nothing. Just be careful on the road.” Qin Xue’s eyes flickered and she swallowed her words back.

How is that possible…those are just nonsense, how could she use those rumors to sow discord between Admiral Shen and his newlywed partner?

“…” Jian Ning’s eyelids jumped at the staff member’s hesitant attitude, but since she was unwilling to say anything more, he waved his hand and turned away.

The entire Central Base is like a highly developed city, with heavy traffic and bustling noise.

The streets are lined with banyan trees. The wind blows in your face, bringing with it a faint floral scent that comes from nowhere. There is also a coffee shop at the end of the street corner.

Passersby just glanced at him curiously when they passed by, and soon focused on their own things.

There is no sign of the cruelty of the end of the world.

At this moment, Jian Ning had no idea why passers-by looked at him like this——

Since there was only a wash basin but no mirror in the isolation room, he simply washed himself with his eyes closed, and his face became even more dirty.

It was almost evening, the sun was setting, and the sky was dyed a warm orange.

Jian Ning used the ten dollars borrowed from the staff to get on Line 3.

The train during the evening rush hour was crowded with people, who seemed to be all getting off work. At first glance, Jian Ning found this ordinary scene in his memory, but he felt somewhat strange about it.

Everything in front of him gave him a sense of unreality.

Although he has only been in this world for a year, it seems like such a normal life has been away from him for a long time.

After getting out of the car, Jian Ning followed the Star Brain navigation and found the military apartment.

As he walked into the door of Building 1, a blue light scanned his pupils, and with a “beep”, the door automatically opened to both sides.

After Jian Ning went in, he found that there were still people waiting for the elevator.

The man was wearing a military uniform and had a burly build, appearing to be an officer.

Jian Ning paused for a moment, followed the man into the elevator, tried to minimize his presence, and pressed “13”.

The officer next to him raised his eyes and inadvertently saw the number he pressed.

“13th floor?”

Isn’t there only one person living on the 13th floor now?

The officer asked in confusion: “Whose relative are you? Did you come to the wrong place?”

He couldn’t imagine what expression the admiral, who had severe mysophobia, would have when he saw this dirty little guy.

Wrong way?

Jian Ning lowered his head, took out the little red book again, and confirmed the address again.

“Well, it seems not. The address is the 13th floor.” He said in a low voice.

The officer looked at what the young man was holding. His excellent eyesight allowed him to see that it was a marriage certificate, and the two characters “Shen Yan” were clearly written in the partner column.

“Are you Admiral Shen’s partner?”

When did that admiral get married?!

Jian Ning looked hopeless: “I guess so.”

After all, they just got married half an hour ago.

The number on the elevator soon reached 13. Jian Ning said goodbye to the shocked officer and walked out of the elevator.

Jian Ning was feeling a little nervous at the moment.

To be honest, he didn’t know how to deal with this sudden marriage partner.

He stood at the door of 1302 and knocked politely.

Dongdong——

“Hello, is anyone there?” Your new spouse is here.

Jian Ning waited at the door for a while, but there was no movement inside.

He took the key out of his bag and inserted it into the lock.

As soon as the door opened, an extremely aggressive and cold breath instantly hit him in the face.

His alien instinct made him sense the danger, and his hair stood on end.

Jian Ning had a serious expression on his face. He carefully stuck half of his head in and looked inside the house.

Dark grey walls, black leather sofas, and other than some necessary furniture, the whole house is simple and cold, without any trace of human life.

“Hello?” Jian Ning stood at the door and spoke tentatively.

After a long period of dead silence, he realized that the owner of the house was not at home.

Jian Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was only a pair of slippers at the door that obviously belonged to the owner of the house, and no other spare ones.

It seems that his new spouse is not a hospitable person.

Jian Ning stared at the only pair of slippers for a few seconds, but in the end he felt too embarrassed to put them on, so he took off his shoes and walked barefoot.

At the same time, there is an S-level high-risk area 300 kilometers away from the base.

“Admiral Shen, Team 1 calling, please reply.”

After a long wait, there was still no response.

After failing to contact him again, the young team member dropped his hands in frustration: “Captain, Admiral Shen has been out of contact for half an hour.”

The team member looked down and saw that the place on his arm where a large piece had been bitten off by the alien was slowly growing new flesh and blood.

A stinging pain came from the wound, and the man grimaced in pain, but when everyone present recalled everything that had happened not long ago, there was only intense fear and worry on their faces.

Today was supposed to be just an ordinary cleanup mission. Admiral Shen assigned the mission areas to the three teams, and their team was only responsible for the cleanup of area C3.

But an accident happened shortly after arriving at area C3.

They encountered a swarm of alien species.

Group-type alien species are accustomed to hunting collectively. Although they are small in size, there are often hundreds of them. By the time they discover something unusual, dense swarms of alien species had already surrounded them.

Their abilities were no problem in fighting the aliens one-on-one, but when faced with hundreds of aliens attacking at the same time, they were quickly approached by the madly rushing aliens and had their skin and flesh bitten open by their huge mouths.

That was until Shen Yan received the distress signal and rushed over.

Several sharp black weapons came through the air, attacking with precision and brutality, piercing through the bodies of each alien species with terrifying force. Those alien species that had been gnawing on fresh flesh with fangs bared not long ago suddenly lost their ability to move and fell to the ground one by one.

The injured members of Team 1 endured the pain, picked up their weapons, and completely wiped out the aliens that were still struggling on the ground, but when they looked up, they found that Shen Yan was nowhere to be found.

The team members remembered that when Admiral Shen left, his cold, scarlet eyes were almost indistinguishable from those of an alien species.

Is Admiral Shen’s mental power out of control again?

The team member’s throat rolled, and he spoke with difficulty: “Captain… Do you want to report it?”

The captain of Team 1 on the side pinched his brows and said in a deep voice: “Wait a moment.”

In the underground lair not far away, a man was wearing a black combat uniform and exuded a strong smell of blood.

In the alienated form, the huge black insect limbs that seem to penetrate from the spine exude a metallic luster, are hard, flexible, and exude a strange and dangerous aura.

The insect limbs that entered the attack state were like wings that spread out from the man’s back. The insect limbs nailed the last alien to the wall, and the remaining ones swung at the same time, the sharp tips like knives quickly and steadily cutting the alien’s body, and the rigorous movements were like performing a delicate operation.

In Shen Yan’s sight, groups of “seeds” gathered like worms were fleeing quickly in the body of the alien, avoiding fatal attacks again and again.

Shen Yan’s expression was calm, but the insect limbs behind him were waving faster. The alien nailed to the wall struggled frantically, howling loudly, and for the first time, its cloudy eyes revealed fear of humans.

As the alien’s wailing gradually weakened, the “seeds” wandering in the alien’s body were eventually cut off from vitality and completely lost their activity.

If there were other people around at this time, it would probably be difficult to tell which one was the alien, the man or the unclear shape of the thing opposite.

The amber pupils trembled unnaturally, revealing a bloodthirsty excitement.

Shen Yan closed his eyes, veins on his forehead throbbing, as if he was enduring something.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again, and his expression became cold and calm again.

The insect limbs extending from the back shook off the sticky liquid on the surface and gradually retracted into the body.

Feeling the residual disgusting liquid, Shen Yan showed a hint of disgust in his eyes. After simply tidying up his clothes, he turned on the Star Brain again.

The Star Brain had just started up, and before Shen Yan had time to check Team 1’s contact information, a bold red letter filling the entire screen suddenly popped up.

The pair of cold eyes that still retained a bloodthirsty aura lowered slightly, looking coldly at the string of emergency notices issued by the command center –

【Congratulations! You have completed the marriage registration with a beautiful Omega. Please go home as soon as possible and work together for the multiplication of the base!】

After a brief silence, Shen Yan closed the notification.

Of course he knew who ordered this tough measure.

After his mental power went out of control last time, the command center proposed to match him with an Omega.

But he didn’t need any Omega.
