Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 4 Atonement: Red Earth

As soon as Ethan woke up, he found that the musky smell in the air was a bit stronger, and it might be faintly felt by ordinary Alphas.Before entering the estrus period, he needed to prepare enough food and water for Samuel, so he hurried to the area where all the non-humans gathered.The people were lying on the ground or leaning against the pipe machine, most of them were still asleep.He breathed a sigh of relief, and randomly found a place to sit aside and squatted down, easily blending into the crowd.

There was movement in the elevator, and it was the mechanical porters who came down with several large boxes of food and water.Ethan rushed forward with the crowd, grabbed a handful of compressed bread and a few bottles of water from the gap, and slipped back to the nest in his arms.By this time Samuel was awake, visibly agitated. Omega would be emotionally unstable before heat, and Ethan didn't dare to speak, so he silently handed him a piece of bread.

By the afternoon, the musky smell was already so strong that it was a bit choking for Ethan, but for Alpha, this smell was extremely aphrodisiac and full of allure.There's nothing for people to do in this warehouse floor, maybe they'll wander around, if the smell floats out and is smelled by other Alphas, it's dangerous to look for it.So Ethan used extra sleeping bags to plug up some gaps where the smell might leak, leaving only a small opening for getting in and out and for ventilation.

There is no day and night in the spaceship, and there is no artificial sunlight on the upper floor. Everyone's work and rest are somewhat disordered. Ethan can only roughly calculate the time according to his own biological clock, reminding Samuel to eat and replenish water.The most dangerous time is when Samuel goes out to relieve himself. In order to reduce the risk of being discovered, Samuel sleeps when others are awake, and waits until everyone is asleep before eating and going out to the toilet.Ethan watched over him every step of the way, staring nervously around him all the time.

Samuel in estrus looks a little different from his usual domineering and sharp look.His skin became smoother and more delicate, as if water could be squeezed out, and his complexion was more rosy and lively than usual.His original deep brown eyes seem to be covered with a layer of misty water at this moment, and they are inexplicably more charming. In addition, his body temperature is much higher than usual, and he is always screaming hot, so he tore off the clothes on his upper body , revealing a strong and firm honey-colored body, covered with a layer of crystal sweat.His mind has already been occupied by the desire to move, and on the second day, as long as there is an Alpha passing in front of their nest, I am afraid that he will completely forget that he does not want to reveal his identity and plans to rush out directly.Ethan watched him curl up in the simple nest made of sleeping bags, his slender and strong legs rubbing against each other from time to time, his plump and moist lips slightly parted, and a moan of hunger and thirst came out of his throat... If it was him Beta also saw that her throat was dry, and her heart felt like a little paw was scratching and itching.

The sweet and greasy Omega smell in the nest was getting stronger and stronger, so thick that Ethan's nose, which was several times more sensitive than the purebred earthlings, ached a little.However, he didn't dare to ventilate the smell to dissipate it, so he hid in the nest with Samuel.He looked at Samuel writhing like a snake, wondering what it would be like to have such a strong desire?

He grew up knowing that of the six genders, the female Beta should be his favorite.Ordinary, non-existent, boring, sexually frigid... He has taken up all these Beta labels, and only with a female Beta can achieve the effect of yin and yang harmony, after all, we can be bored together if we are bored.But he is always attracted to male Alphas, and those male Alphas are naturally attracted to Omegas.When everyone in the high school class found a partner one after another, he was the only one who walked alone and looked like he only read sage books. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't like someone.He has been secretly in love with the tallest and handsome Alpha basketball captain in his class, watching the captain change one after another Omega boyfriend and girlfriend, but never has the courage to say this love.

At that time, he occasionally imagined, if he was also a rare Omega, would he be entitled to like that boy?

When he grew up, Ethan scoffed at his own thoughts at that time, thinking that he was simply too stupid.He likes the fact that he is a male beta, and he never thought that he would be any gender other than a male beta, but he started to question himself just because of a boy he liked, it was simply too immature.

His first boyfriend was an Omega, his second was a female Beta, and his third...

Thinking of the man with the alluring blue pupils, I felt a dull pain in my heart.

During this period, Samuel's appetite will be very small. Tortured by desire, he is unwilling to masturbate in front of Ethan, so he spends most of his time sleeping.If Ethan hadn't fed him bread himself, he probably wouldn't have been aware of his hunger.Ethan tried to save food so that he didn't have to go out to get food the next day.But on the third day, the smell showed no signs of abating, but the food was running out.Ethan had no choice but to look at Samuel who was still sleeping soundly, covered him with a sleeping bag, and then carefully slipped out of the entrance.

For two consecutive days without eating and drinking water, Ethan felt that his steps were a little sloppy, and his head was slightly dizzy due to low blood sugar.He moved his body and patted his cheek hard. The fresh, musky-free air made him wake up a lot, so he walked towards the non-people gathering area.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the road, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind a pipe and grabbed his arm.He was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and his body was suddenly pushed against the wall of a cylindrical water tank, making a thud.The back of his head hurt, and his glasses were crooked, but the neckline was lifted by a strong and rough hand.

Standing in front of him was a non-human he didn't know, male Alpha, about forty years old, taller than Samuel, with a thick beard growing on his chin, he looked very ferocious.

Ethan was petrified, "What are you doing!"

But the man leaned up to his neck and sniffed something vigorously, a hungry grunt came out of his throat, "Otto also said that you are a Beta, you are obviously an Omega, the smell is so strong, do you still want to hide it? !"

Ethan froze for two seconds before reacting.He stayed with Samuel in that small and airtight nest for two days, and he must smell like Samuel...

"I'm really Beta!" Ethan was sweating on his brow, his eyes wandering around, looking for help.Helplessly, his glasses were crooked, and he couldn't see clearly in the distance, and he didn't find any figure nearby, "This is not my taste!" He squeezed the man's wrist hard.

The other party obviously didn't believe his sophistry, "It's not your taste?! Damn it... I didn't know that I brought an Omega this time!"

Ethan was dumbfounded again, he couldn't tell him about Samuel, could he?

Beta's sense of responsibility to protect Omega quickly erased the option of "tell him the truth in order to protect himself". He stared blankly at the man, but in the eyes of the other party, it was obviously a lack of reason.The man's eyes looked like a wolf that had been hungry for a whole winter, and his mouth was about to drool.The Alpha hormone smell on his body was also aroused more and more strongly by the Omega smell on Ethan's body, which made Ethan tense and stiff.He pushed the man's chest with both hands, but his body remained motionless like a rocky mountain.

"Help!!!!" Ethan couldn't care less and could only shout at the top of his voice.He stretched out his legs to kick the man's crotch, but the man was already prepared to grab his feet, then bent his knees and gave him a kick on his stomach.

Ethan's body curled up like a shrimp, if it wasn't for the fact that he was still being grabbed by the collar, he might have fallen to the ground.That knee pushed his internal organs out of place, and he couldn't straighten up for a while.The man pressed him against the water tank, with a cruel smile on his face when he caught a delicious prey, "Great, you haven't been marked yet!" After speaking, he put his knees between Ethan's legs and pulled his hands Gao held it down with one hand, using his heavy body to hold him tightly, making it impossible for him to break free.Ethan's eyes were red, he panicked and panted rapidly, he looked like a dying rabbit.He tilted his head to one side vigorously, trying to avoid the approaching face, but this move was exactly in the man's arms, and it was like an Omega's action when he actively surrendered. Omega's hormone glands were born on the right side of the neck, and when an Alpha wanted to mark an Omega, it would bite down on that part hard, leaving a deep mark.This imprint represents Alpha's ownership of Omega, and it usually takes a week to fade away.

Just as the man opened his mouth to bite down on the imaginary Omega gland, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his neck.He cried out in pain and stopped moving.

A figure was rapidly approaching a dozen steps away from them.The silver-white robe was swayed with the steps, and the scepter in the hand fell to the ground from time to time, making a clear and crisp sound. A red mark on the smooth forehead added to the charm, but it was the priest of Eve-Taniser.

The priest stopped about five steps away from them. The three of them looked at each other, and no one spoke for a moment.

After a while, the priest blinked his gray eyes slowly, and said to the man, "Get lost."

The veins on the man's forehead popped up, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he was obviously very angry. Instead, he grabbed Ethan's wrist even tighter, "Don't meddle in your own business! This is not a human thing!"

The priest frowned slightly, took two steps forward, and raised the scepter in his hand.The unknown spar wrapped in a platinum hollow pattern lit up, engraved with dense symbols, it is not clear whether it is a character or a pattern of some kind of chip.The red mark on his forehead opened slightly to the sides, and there was a shining brilliance bursting out of it, and a silver-white pupil could be faintly seen in it.

The expression of the man who grabbed Ethan suddenly changed, he let go of Ethan's wrist with a scream, and staggered back, his face was full of impressive horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.With a strange cry, he turned around and stumbled away. He even tripped over a pipeline on the ground and made a big somersault, but he didn't even dare to look back, and fled in a panic with all his hands and feet.

Ethan sat on the ground, terrified.He barely raised his head, and looked at Tanithel with some uncertainty.

How could Priest Eve appear here?

"Thank you." He calmed down a little, straightened his glasses and got up, but his posture was still guarded, as if he was going to run away at any time.

The third eye on Tanithel's forehead has been closed, and his expression is much softer, "You are not an Omega, where does the smell on your body come from?"

Ethan's heart skipped a beat.It should have been expected that the Eve people have a perception ability far superior to that of the earth people, and the perception ability of these priests who have been trained since childhood is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary Eve people.It is said that when the priests open their third eye, within a certain range, their mental power can even easily control human brain waves, leaving people at their mercy like puppets.And looking at that Alpha's inhuman reaction just now, one knows that this statement is true.

But if he knew Samuel's words, he didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause...

The priest took a step forward and lowered his head slightly to look into Ethan's pupils, "Don't worry, I don't intend to tell the truth. But if there is an Omega in heat hiding here, you'd better let me know, otherwise he will be extremely angry. Danger."

Tanithel's tall and straight demeanor and gentle expression gave people a sense of dignity and dignity, which made Ethan trust him involuntarily.But another voice in the bottom of my heart questioned again, wondering if this kind of trust would be the wish of the other party, after all, the distance between them is too close now.

"Is this an order?" Ethan finally asked.

"It's not an order. When I saw you on the bridge before, I felt something was wrong with a person's breath. Two days ago, I accidentally discovered in the surveillance camera that you were walking in the direction of the nuclear reactor with a lot of food and water. So I keep an eye on you. Is he your friend?"

Although Ethan has a good impression of this priest, but the other party is an Alpha after all, he can't believe it easily, "You are a priest of Eve, why do you care so much about us non-humans?"

The corner of Tanisel's mouth raised slightly, with a faint smile, and his expression became a little more vivid, "The temple where I am is very interested in the study of inhuman psychology and social order, which is why I was assigned as the One of the reasons for the army priests. Your Earth Alliance closely guards the inhumans, and this mission is a rare opportunity to get close to inhumans. In addition, as a servant of the goddess of mercy, Udnis, I saw People who are in trouble can't just leave it alone."

Ethan was secretly startled, this person seemed to already know the approximate location of Samuel's hiding place, even if he didn't mention the priest, he could still find them.If the other party has malicious intentions, there is no need to waste such arguments with him. After all, as long as he uses the power of the collar around his neck, he will probably succumb soon.

He hesitated for a moment, and decided to take a risk, "If you really want to help us, bring me Joe Samuel's old clothes."

The priest didn't say anything, and nodded happily, "Yes. But don't go near the depopulated area, I will come back to find you in four hours." After speaking, he turned and left.

In the next half day, Ethan helped the drowsy Samuel to move to a place a short distance from the original nest, which was also hidden, and he deliberately.He arranged the sleeping bag and boxes, blocking the view and plugging the gaps, and fed Samuel the last piece of compressed bread.There was not much water left, but seeing that Samuel was sweating all over his body and was severely dehydrated, Ethan saved his share of water for him to drink.Thirst burned his throat, and he prayed in the dark that this would end soon.

That Priest Eve... actually wants to study non-humans. Could it be that they have been regarded as a different race from ordinary humans...

Besides, why would aliens be interested in nonhumans?There shouldn't be some conspiracy, right? Although Eve has a good relationship with the Earth Alliance, but the world in this galaxy is so chaotic, who knows if she is secretly plotting something.

Probably because of his own experience, Ethan's mind is full of conspiracy theories now, but after thinking about it, he is already inhuman, and he still cares about major events in the world

Guessing that the time was almost up, Ethan ran to the original nest and waited.He waited and waited, but there was no trace of the priest. He was thinking whether he had been cheated, but he was patted on the shoulder.

Looking back suddenly, Tanisel was wearing an ordinary sailing uniform and was carrying a suitcase in his hand.

"It's been a long time, let's go."

Ethan hurriedly stopped him, "No need, I'll take it for him myself."

Tanithel raised his eyebrows slightly, a little confused, "Why? I want to see him."

"You're an Alpha, of course you want to see him" Ethan muttered, thinking, don't think I don't know that your Eve priests are not as abstinent as the priests on Earth, on the contrary, on that planet you still regard sex as a kind of soul purification sacred ritual.

Tanisel suddenly understood that the other party was treating him as a big hooligan who wanted to take the opportunity to mark Omega in heat.So he showed a friendly and friendly smile again, which shone brightly on his overly delicate face, and unscrupulously used his appearance offensive on Ethan, "You misunderstood, our Eve people, especially the priests, are more powerful than others." Humans on earth are strong, and they are not so easily driven by instinct. And sex is a very serious matter for us, and we will not mark others casually."

"You mean we humans are more barbaric?" Ethan's face clearly said "I believe you Alpha is an idiot", still standing firmly in front of him.

Tanithel sighed for a long time. I didn't expect this Beta to look elegant and calm, and he actually liked to argue, "Your Omega has already started to estrus, and if you use inhibitors rashly now, his body may have an unexpected rejection reaction." You don't want me to be there, of course, but you have to be mentally prepared." After finishing speaking, Tanisel stuffed the box in Ethan's arms, deliberately turning around and leaving the inn.Sure enough, he had just taken two steps when he heard a reluctant voice behind him, "Wait..."

Tanithel grinned. At this moment, Ethan couldn't see the unexpected evil spirit on his handsome face. When he turned around, the evil smile turned into a dignified and gentle smile, "What's wrong?"

Ethan held the box and looked at him hesitantly, "What kind of reaction are you talking about rejection?"
