Silenced pheromones

In the narrow gap of the mine tunnel, the silence between the two became even more depressing.

After a pause, Ji Heng was the first to break the deadlock. His tone was slightly raised, and he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It is said that people are dying, but their words are good. Hey, I said little cow, you can tell me a few words when you are at this time Tell the truth."

"What a little cow!" Shelley blushed immediately, "I have a name, my name is Shelley!"

"Oh, Shelley." Ji Heng said absently.

"Then what do you want to hear?" Shelley asked aggrievedly.

"I want to know why you waited until now to report the case to the city defense station with such a group of militants stationed in your county." Ji Heng glanced at him lazily, asking seemingly casually.

"Because... because they are all county residents." Shelley whispered to her fingers, "And it's not us who reported the crime."

Ji Heng was slightly taken aback.

Things were a little different from what he expected.

According to Shelley, a month ago, this county was still an ordinary small county with a large number of Betas and Omegas inhabited. The economic level was not as good as that of the main city, and the facilities in all aspects were still very primitive.For a few days, the climate was humid and hot, and there was a snake plague in the county. Snakes always came out of the water pipes and bit many people at night.

Later, the county residents made up their minds and spent some money to replace the nano-steel filter screens in every household. The snakes did not appear again, but the people who were bitten started to have a high fever inexplicably. After the fever subsided, the people became dementia. They are dumb, can't understand people's words, and are easy to get angry and bite people, and the people who are bitten have the same symptoms again.

The people in the county were not well-educated, so they didn't take it seriously at first. It wasn't until the "biting disease" affected half of the people in the county that they began to feel a sense of crisis.

"At that time, everyone was terrified. The barefoot doctor in the county couldn't see it. At that time, I wanted to spend some money to send it to the medical center in the main city, but it would cost a lot of money to go there. That gentleman appeared at this time. " Shelley wrung his fingers and said, "That gentleman is very understanding. He not only cured the 'biting disease' of those people in the county, but also made them stronger and smarter."

strong and smart?

Strong should refer to the body's extraordinary self-healing ability, while smart.

Ji Heng thought of the gestures of the group of people skillfully using various guns/weapons, very professional.

That level of actual combat skills can only be mastered by many Alphas who have received three to five years of professional training in the military academy, but these county residents can do it without fail in a short period of time, they are not very smart what?

"That gentleman saved everyone, and everyone was very happy at first, but then a caravan of Alphas passed by the heavy rail station, and they showed off their wealth, so they moved a little bit." Shelley said in a low voice. : "That's right, it was actually those Alphas who reported the crime."

Only then did Ji Heng suddenly realize.

Beta and Omega, who lived in humbleness all year round, became wise and powerful overnight, and many thoughts that they dared not move before bottomed out and turned evil after bottoming out. This is a form of revenge and catharsis in disguise.

"Who is that gentleman you are talking about?" he asked immediately.

"That's... the one who shot you." Shelley replied tangled.

Ji Heng was dazed for a while, and he tried his best to recall. At that time, the mine tunnel was dark and unpredictable. He didn't see the opponent's appearance clearly, but he knew that the shooter deliberately lured him down and used high-risk radium bombs. The goal of killing oneself couldn't be more obvious.

Ji Heng thought coldly, this gentleman is wearing the skin of a contemporary genius doctor, it's no wonder that the whole county, including this little Omega, would believe him so much, I'm afraid he is using Shelley as a bait to deliberately lure himself into the urn.

"What do you think of this?" Ji Heng asked.

"Me?" Shelley pointed at herself for a moment, then murmured, "I think they are scary. Even if they become very powerful later, they are still scary."

Yes, this is the reaction a normal person should have.

Ordinary people suddenly gaining superpowers are either legends or curses.

Ji Heng let out a long breath.

Snake, why didn't he think of it before?

Some messy and trivial information shuttled through his mind like a meteor. At this time, some gravel and soil were falling far above, and the miner's lamp was flickering. I don't know if another round of collapse is about to come. Lai clenched his sleeves in fright, at this moment he saw Ji Heng turn his face slightly, his eyes were subtle and deep.

"You really look like him." Ji Heng's eyes seemed to be covered with mist, and he sighed softly: "It looks more like this."

Shelley was slightly taken aback.

"Who?" he asked tentatively.

"Mine." Ji Heng's chapped lips moved, his tone was slightly low, as if he was a little dazed: "My love."

He he he he actually has a lover? !Did such a handsome Alpha marry at an early age?

Shelley was dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that the house had collapsed again.

But what does it mean to tell him this at this time?

Shelley's mood moved slightly, and he thought about it again, could it be that this Alpha decided to open his heart to him because he was about to die?

So lovers are not necessarily true, this is actually a hint?

Fear and excitement mixed in the bottom of my heart, intertwined into a secret thrill, even overwhelmed the fear, Shelley was a little afraid to open his eyes to see Ji Heng's naked and lean body, his cheeks were hot, he tremblingly said: "Then your lover is also an Omega?"

This question was asked knowingly, and Shelley knew it was stupid to ask, but he just wanted an answer that he recognized.

He waited expectantly for Ji Heng to say "yes".

Unexpectedly, Ji Heng shook his head.

"No." The man's voice became inexplicably gentle and mellow, and there was even a little doting and nostalgic smile between his breaths: "He is a Beta."

"What, the boss lost contact?" Liao Peng blurted out in shock: "Did he really lose contact! Didn't he communicate with you alone in the channel?"

"It's true that we have a private channel, but I've tried to call many times, and Ji Heng didn't respond." Ning Suiyuan frowned tightly, with gloomy tiredness lingering between his brows: "Liao Peng I'm not going to joke with you about this kind of question now."

"I'm sorry." Liao Peng said, "I just can't believe it." He swallowed his saliva, and opened his personal terminal to search for location. He continued several times, but to no avail.

Liao Peng couldn't even make a joke at the moment, he barely raised the corner of his lips, and comforted weakly: "But Xiao Ning, don't worry, maybe it's just that the communicator is broken, and the boss is surviving in the wild. Stronger than any of us, he must have a way to—”

"But now I can't even locate it!" Ning Suiyuan said in a deep voice, "I think it's not just the communicator that is broken!"

He let out an exasperated growl, which silenced everyone.

Yang Xiao's beautiful face was as cold as ice, she quickly opened the door and walked out. After a while, she pushed and shoved Jiao Zhengxiang in like a chicken.

"Where did Director Ji lead the team? What task did they perform?" Yang Xiao stared at Jiao Zhengxiang, and asked sharply, "Who are accompanying you? Tell me!"

"It's the affiliated Xiaoliu County, and it is said that there are armed groups exchanging fire." Jiao Zhengxiang was overwhelmed by Yang Xiao's momentum, and stammered: "All the members of the fourth group of the city defense team went with Ji Chu, but just now .”

"What was it just now?" Ning Suiyuan asked urgently.

"The people in the fourth group have already returned. They just passed the checkpoint in the main city. They said that Ji Chu asked them to send the wounded to the main city for treatment first." Jiao Zhengxiang said.

"Didn't they leave two of them with Ji Chu? Did the mother let the chief cut off the queen alone?" Yang Xiao laughed back angrily: "If something happens, have they thought about the consequences?"

"I, I'm going to ask about the situation right now! Officer Yang, don't worry!" Jiao Zhengxiang jumped on the spot when he was frightened by the stern Yang Xiao, and hurried to contact him.

After a while, he came back, his face became more and more ugly.

"They... they did leave two people for Ji Chu." Jiao Zhengxiang said, "but...but."

"But what?!" Liao Peng was annoyed by Jiao Zhengxiang's speed of speech: "You fucking talk fast."

"Ji Chu encountered a mine collapse in order to save people, and the collapse was too fast. They didn't react, and they didn't think of a way to rescue them for a while, so—"

"So?!" Yang Xiao and Liao Peng said in unison.

"So they went back to the main city first with the big troops." Jiao Zhengxiang couldn't go on talking, feeling like he brought a bunch of idiots with him: "Move the soldiers."

Yang Xiao raised her fists, and rushed forward to beat someone in two steps, but was stopped by Liao Peng and Gao De in time.

"Sister Xiao, calm down! Calm down!"

"Why am I so calm!" Yang Xiao's eyes were red with anger, and he yelled: "What rescue soldiers! If you really want to rescue soldiers, wouldn't you use your personal terminal to send rescue messages! Everyone is back, move rescue soldiers! If you are afraid of death, just say it!" She took a breath, and became even more angry: "That's Ji Heng! Ji Heng, do you understand! The youngest colonel in the history of the empire! Director Ji of the Military Department of the Ministry of National Defense! He is a priceless military asset! If he There are three pros and twos! These wastes from your city defense station will not be able to compensate him if he is buried with him!"

These words can be said to be very ugly, Jiao Zhengxiang's face was extremely ugly, and he stammered: "They, they are also ignorant—and the landslide came too suddenly at that time, and when their minds were confused——" He didn't finish. , was slapped on the shoulder by Ryo Matsuhira.

Jiao Zhengxiang was languid, and retreated to the side in a cowardly manner, and Matsuhira took over the conversation: "Mr. Yang, the city defense personnel lack actual combat experience, and their quality is not as good as yours in all aspects, especially their on-the-spot adaptability. I admit that. , I apologize to you on their behalf."

"Is an apology useful?" Yang Xiao asked back.

"It's useless, but it's also useless for you to be angry like this." Matsudaira said: "Before the time has passed, send someone to rescue!"

"Song Pingliang is right, Sister Xiao!" Liao Peng said loudly, "The most important thing now is to get the boss back!"

"Look for it, tell me how to find it!" Yang Xiao sneered, "You just leave someone there to do nothing and still be a landmark! Now that people have been walking for so long, their footprints are probably gone! Tell me Where can I find it!" She pointed back at Matsudaira and gritted her teeth: "I remember those two cowards in your city defense station! If you dare to come back, don't let me see them—"

Song Pingliang was speechless, and he said for a while: "At least let's go to the accident site first, I'll apply for an excavator and see if I can temporarily approve one, if it's really a mine, it still needs to be dug. "

With his positive attitude, Yang Xiao didn't swear any more, and only panted heavily. The atmosphere in the lounge was tense, and Ning Suiyuan closed his eyes without saying a word.

If it is really like what they said, what Ji Heng encountered was a mine collapse, and the possibility of surviving is extremely small. Even if the heavenly fortune is not buried, they will find a person in the mound of ten thousand hectares of earth to be with him. Finding a needle in a haystack is no different.

The more Ning Suiyuan thought about it, the more irritable he became, he turned and walked out of the lounge to breathe.

"Search failed."

"Search failed."

He nervously launched the positioning search repeatedly, and such blue prompts appeared over and over again on the virtual screen, as if the pale and cruel Grim Reaper was mercilessly mocking his stubbornness.

"Damn it!" Ning Suiyuan cursed in an unprecedented low voice, kicked hard on the electric pole by the side of the road, and the street lamp on the opposite side of the street flickered and went out.

The whole street was plunged into darkness.

Ning Suiyuan panted roughly like a trapped animal in the darkness, he turned around and put his back against the electric pole.

Ji Heng's face kept appearing in his mind. The day before they were talking jokingly in the revolving restaurant in the air, Ji Heng asked him a question, but he hesitated, hesitated, and didn't have time to give an answer.

He really answered Feng Yudou's words. He hugged his arms tightly, feeling cold all over.

No, you can't just give up like this, Ji Heng must be waiting for them to rescue him somewhere.

"You rest for a while." Shelley whispered.

The gunshot wound on Alpha's chest was no longer bleeding, but the surrounding skin color turned into a terrible blue-purple color, and Ji Heng's face was also stained with a layer of gray, and he never stopped sweating.

Ji Heng didn't stop for a moment. He was dismantling the distorted personal terminal with his bare hands. The strength in his hand was obviously not as good as before, and his wrist was even trembling weakly. After the metal shell cracked, he wanted to stretch his fingers several times. Going into the seam is not aligned.

The toxicity of heavy metals is the main feature of various thermal weapons developed by the empire later, and it is also an advantage in terms of lethality. Even if the initial blow is not fatal, the toxicity of heavy metals that cannot be eradicated will slowly destroy the body functions of living things.

At this moment, Ji Heng had a splitting headache, his muscles were sore and weak, and everything in his vision was dissolving into blurred blocks of color. He gritted his teeth, raised his hand and smashed the personal terminal on the ground forcefully, embedded it inside. The button-shaped launcher was finally exposed.

"Ha." Ji Heng laughed feebly, leaning his head against the dirt wall in desolation.

"This thing." He held the launcher in his palm and rubbed it twice: "It's our only hope to get out."

"What is this!" Shelley seemed about to cry again: "A button, what use can it be—"

"This is the signal transmitter, good luck, it didn't break." Ji Heng rubbed it twice with his thumb again: "If I lose it, you can hold it, don't lose it, A Yuan will definitely find it. "

"I don't understand what you're saying!" Shelley shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face: "Don't die, brother, I won't live if you die!"

"Don't call me brother." Ji Heng's thick black brows were wrinkled, and his breathing was rapid: "You can't die with me. If we die together and A Yuan sees it, it's like jumping into the Yellow River It can't be cleaned either."

"What Ayuan! I don't care what Ayuan is!" Shelley came over tremblingly, leaning against Ji Heng's side and crying loudly: "Don't die! Uuuuuuuuuuuuu—"

In just a split second, a few numbers flashed across the virtual screen of the personal terminal, and then fell into darkness.

If you were an ordinary person, you would only feel dazzled by a burst of light.

But the person who owns a personal terminal at this moment is Ning Suiyuan.

It was only presented in a few tenths of a second, but his brain captured it accurately. He suddenly widened his eyes, and the string of coordinates was perfectly reproduced in his mind.

"Ji Heng!" He shouted in a low voice, his mind turned, and then he strode into the door of the lounge: "I have located Ji Heng's coordinates! He is not dead! He is still alive!"

Shi Potian was shocked, his words uprooted the entire lounge from its lifelessness.

I don't know how long it has passed. In the closed mine, Shelley can hardly feel the passage of time.

Ji Heng had already lost consciousness, his complexion was pale, and his frowning brows were temporarily stretched out due to paralysis.

Shelley leaned against him, crying and rubbing the small transmitter continuously. The surface of the transmitter was slightly heated by the friction, and Shelley dared not stop. Those were the last words Ji Heng said before he passed out.

The air in the mine gradually became thinner, and Shelley felt it was difficult to breathe. He didn't dare to cry anymore, and stared at Ji Heng's side face without blinking.

This Alpha was so good-looking, even more beautiful than any Alpha he had ever seen, with deep brows and eyes, a straight and masculine nose, born from the heart, and he was indeed a very responsible man. It's a pity that he died like this, What a pity.

If he can go out this trip, he will definitely follow this Alpha wholeheartedly, be it a servant or anything.

But it seems that they can't get out.

Shelley was tired of rubbing the launcher, he loosened his five fingers, shook his sore arm, and suddenly felt a little hopeless.

Before death, people will inevitably want to indulge, and want to do something that they have always wanted to do but dare not do——

Shelley let out a breath, then opened her arms, and embraced Ji Heng in a big way.

At this moment, he felt the earth and rocks around him loosen.

Although during this period of being trapped underground, the top of his head would fall off from time to time, but this time, Shelley vaguely felt that it was different from the previous ones.

It seems that it is really going to collapse!The surrounding area is shaking violently!

"Ahhh!" Shelley screamed in fright, and hugged Ji Heng's neck tightly.

For a split second, he felt something hard encircle him from bottom to top, grabbing him and Ji Heng from the soil——

"crash"

The sticky and wet debris fell on his face, Shelley choked and coughed, and he felt that he was going to be buried alive, but at this moment, fresh air rushed in from all directions, like rain after a long drought, Shelley After spitting out a mouth full of dirt and breathing heavily, he raised his head and saw a cold moon hanging in the night sky.

He had never liked this moon more than now, which meant they were back on the ground again!

Shelley was ecstatic, hugged Ji Heng tightly and shouted: "Brother! Brother, we are out! We are saved!"

"Cough, cough, cough." Ji Heng reacted for the first time. He frowned in pain and tilted his neck back: "I'm choking to death. This smells like milk."

Shelley: "."

But nothing could make him happier than the rest of his life. Shelley didn't want to worry about it. He turned his head happily and looked up slowly along the mechanical iron arm that was holding them, and saw a large green leather excavator. soil machine.

Sitting in the transparent cockpit is a young man in his twenties, with a tall and straight figure, one hand firmly holding the handguard, his long legs slightly bent against the bottom of the cabin, a thin shirt, and a moon shaped shirt pinned to his chest. The dark gold brooch, noble and elegant, a pair of blue eyes shining like fine sapphires.

His complexion is pale, almost the same color tone as that of the cold moon, looking at it makes one's heart chill,

Shelley only felt that the other party looked familiar, and then he vaguely felt that he was looking at a mirror with a beauty filter added.

At this time, Gao De stepped on the brakes and parked the armored vehicle on the edge of the mine pit. Liao Peng was leaning out of the window and looking out with a telescope.

"It seems to have been dug out, right?" Yang Xiao asked impatiently.

"Xiao Ning's digging is really accurate." Gao De couldn't help but praise: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to dig people even with the location and map."

"That's not true, my brother Yuan is a veteran of excavators! Didn't you see the last time he drove an excavator and took me on the road—" Lu Yang chattered and showed off, just like a proud old mother.

"Fatty, why don't you talk?" Yang Xiao was a little puzzled, and poked Liao Peng's waist back.

Liao Peng, as the only one who saw clearly the situation in the excavation bucket, slowly put down the binoculars and sighed thoughtfully.

"Songping is really a prophet." He said in an intriguing tone: "The color of this excavator is too right."
