The next day.

Zhou Rong woke up in the morning light. He stretched himself and lowered his head to kiss Si Nan's sleeping cheek. Feeling refreshed, he turned over and got out of bed to work.

He brought all the tools he could use, distributed food and water according to his talent, and took out a map to plan the route and possible supply points.

The sun peeked out slightly, and then disappeared behind the thick clouds. Zhou Rong stood in the front yard and felt the humidity. He felt that it was probably going to snow.

The mountains, rivers, and distant villages were all shrouded in gloomy clouds, and the world was extremely quiet.

If it snowed, it would be difficult to set off.

Zhou Rong ate some canned food, baked some bread with a small gas fire, mixed some sweet milk powder with hot water for Sinan's breakfast, and went to wake him up. However, when he looked at the bed, he found that Sinan had not woken up at all. He was sleeping soundly on the bed.

He had been very sleepy recently, probably due to his body's self-recovery after reaching a certain level of weakness. When he was at the fertilizer factory, he slept less than six hours a day, and even in his sleep, he was very alert. If someone approached him, he would immediately wake up. He was completely different from the way he was snoring under Zhou Rong's eyes.

Zhou Rong pinched his nose and whispered a few words, but Sinan slapped his hand away and turned over, revealing a section of army-green cloth under his body.

Zhou Rong's eyes fell on it, and he was stunned.

It was the T-shirt he took off last night. It was hanging at the door, but he couldn't find it this morning. He didn't expect Sinan to take it and hide it in a ball under the quilt.

"Little thief," Zhou Rong laughed and reached out to pull the T-shirt.

He couldn't pull it out.

… He still couldn't pull it out.

Zhou Rong sneered, "Comrade Xiao Si, are you forcibly asking for a token of love?"

Then he changed from pulling it out to pulling it out. As soon as he pulled, Sinan suddenly got up in a daze and hugged Zhou Rong's waist.

“？”

Before Zhou Rong could react, Sinan, who was half-asleep, threw him to the ground!

Boom!

Zhou Rong fell on the bed and almost fainted. Then he felt Si Nan wriggling on his side. It seemed that Si Nan had found a more comfortable position, and soon fell asleep in Zhou Rong's arms.

"…" Zhou Rong was dumbfounded. His gaze slowly moved downwards.

Sinan's face was serene and calm in the morning light, her breath was warm and fragrant, like a little angel … a little angel who would throw Alpha with a hundred-kilogram hook in her sleep, almost giving him a concussion.

"Sinan …" Zhou Rong said with a trembling voice, "Do you … want to wake up and calm down first?"

Sinan licked his lips subconsciously.

Zhou Rong found it hard to breathe, and his heart raced. He suddenly felt dizzy. He didn't know if it was because of a concussion or because of the light red lips in front of him.

He exhaled deeply, trying to use his strong willpower to stop his hot blood from flowing down … However, the ever-present sweet scent that was growing thicker and thicker made him unable to breathe.

It was a pheromone.

But it was different from the pheromone that surrounded Sinan last night. If it was a light honey smell last night, today it was sweet and slightly fishy. If he smelled it closely, it even felt a little stimulating.

Zhou Rong stared at the ceiling. His ears were buzzing, and his brain felt like it was being repeatedly smashed by a ten-thousand-ton hammer.

He realized an explosive possibility.

When Sinan woke up, it was almost noon.

He was a little dispirited. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up from the messy bed and asked Zhou Rong, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Rong: "…"

"What time is it?" Sinan naturally picked up the cold milk and toast on the bedside table. He didn't mind. While eating, he got out of bed and looked out of the window, "Oh, is it going to snow?"

Zhou Rong struggled to move his arm that had lost feeling due to being oppressed for several hours. He sat up and said slowly, "Comrade Xiao Si, the organization wants to talk to you …"

Sinan turned around, leaned his back against the windowsill, and raised one of his eyebrows.

"… Are you sure you were injected with the inhibitor at the end of September?"

"Of course," Sinan said casually, "I found you on the way to the pharmacy to look for the inhibitor.

Fortunately, you and Yan Hao rushed in after I was injected with the inhibitor. Otherwise, if I knew you were Alpha at the time, you would have been turned into a sieve … Why? "

Zhou Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then do you know that there are actually two kinds of inhibitors in our country?"

Sinan chewed.

"The one you can buy at the pharmacy is an ordinary inhibitor. It can hide the Omega pheromone in the normal state and avoid distracting people during field or disciplinary work. The effect lasts for half a year.

The other kind of inhibitor that allows Omega to avoid the annual estrus period is a controlled inhibitor. According to the regulations, this kind of inhibitor can't be sold at the counter. It must be taken from the warehouse of a designated state-run pharmacy with a prescription. "

"In other words," Zhou Rong explained, "the ordinary inhibitor you took out after breaking the glass counter can help you disguise yourself as a Beta, but it won't work when you're in estrus. At most, it can help you continue to disguise yourself for two more months after the estrus period …"

Sinan, "…"

Their eyes met, and Sinan's expression became very subtle.

Zhou Rong carefully considered his words and said slowly,

"According to my basic physiological knowledge — we don't teach this in the military academy — your estrus period may be coming."

"The organization wants to ask for your opinion, Comrade Xiao Si: Do you want to use your subjective initiative to overcome the difficulties, or do you want to respect the objective law? Do you want to pick an Alpha you like within a ten-mile radius, and the organization will help you matchmake?"

After a long silence, Sinan confirmed, "There are two kinds of inhibitors."

Zhou Rong nodded.

"The controlled type is not placed in the counter."

"Yes."

"… The one Guo Weixiang helped the guy with the surname Ren find …"

"He broke into the pharmacy warehouse, but when the disaster broke out, the pharmacy employees hiding inside collectively turned into zombies. That's why he was chased out by so many zombies."

Sinan couldn't say a word.

"So, if you need it," Zhou Rong said regretfully, "we can try to find one now, but the nearest big city is two thousand kilometers away. You'd better try to hold on for as long as possible …"

Sinan stood in a daze, and his hand loosened.

Zhou Rong, who had been prepared for this, strode forward and grabbed the freely falling milk cup at lightning speed. He placed it back in his hand and gestured for him to hold it properly.

"Within a ten-mile radius," Sinan's mouth twitched.

— — Although he didn't plan to do so, there couldn't be any other Alpha other than Zhou Rong within a ten-mile radius. If there were any, they would be zombies.

"The organization will definitely help you set them up," Zhou Rong solemnly promised, "The organization is very democratic."

Sinan raised his head and drank the milk. He stuffed the empty cup into Zhou Rong's hand and pushed his chest to signal him to go out.

"… Let me think." Sinan said mechanically, "Please give me twenty minutes."

Zhou Rong thoughtfully took the empty cup out. He went to the kitchen and carefully washed the dishes and utensils. He unloaded enough food and water for two people from the car for three days. Then he picked up his gun and patrolled the area to make sure there were no wandering zombies or beasts in the forest, and there were no other dangers.

Then he reversed the SUV to a position that blocked the only entrance and exit of the cement building. He took complete protective measures and returned to the first floor. When he passed by the bathroom, he stopped and carefully looked at himself in the mirror in front of the sink.

Zhou Rong, twenty-nine years old, 1.89 meters tall, 83 kilograms weight, body fat percentage 9%.

Black hair, black pupils, vision 2.0 in both eyes, excellent hereditary genes.

Zhou Rong was tricked by his instructor when he said, "A scar is a man's best medal."

One year after he was sent to the 118th Brigade, he led a team to Bali to carry out an ambush mission. During the ambush, he saw Yan Hao teaching Chun Cao how to apply sunscreen. He laughed at them on the spot and proudly claimed that he had never used something as feminine as sunscreen even when he was on the Tibetan Plateau. He also showed off his bronzed skin. At that time, Yan Hao glanced at him with an enigmatic look, shook his head and sighed, and said nothing. When they returned from the mission, Zhou Rong's face was almost disfigured because of a level four sunburn. The treatment process that took half a month made him painfully learn how to be a human being.

Zhou Rong looked at himself in the mirror for a while and felt that he was just too rough.

If he were ten years younger, he could compete with Yan Hao for the title of the Flower of the 118 Brigade.

He coughed and adjusted his collar and cuffs. He was a little nervous.

… Within a radius of ten miles.

There really can't be any other Alpha, right? Zhou Rong thought anxiously.

Zhou Rong adjusted his hairstyle, trying to flatten the small tuft of hair that always stood up arrogantly on his forehead. He coughed and pushed open the bedroom door.

"It's been twenty minutes, Si Xiao …" Zhou Rong paused.

Sinan sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at a brass pendant on his chest. Mi Sheng looked up, his eyes bright and innocent.

The T-shirt that Zhou Rong had taken off, the vest that Zhou Rong had worn last night, and the pillowcase that Zhou Rong had used last night … They were scattered around him in a ring shape, as if they were the foundation of a ferocious feline beast's nest.

"…" Zhou Rong looked at him, not sure if he was awake or not.

Sinan, on the other hand, asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"… I," Zhou Rong said carefully, "came up to clean up."

Sinan suddenly noticed the messy clothes around him, but his first reaction was, "Why are you cleaning it up?"

Zhou Rong said, "… Wash it."

"It's not dirty."

Zhou Rong was speechless. Sinan leaned back and nestled in the pillow that Zhou Rong used to sleep last night. He seemed a little tired, "I was just trying to remember what those people asked me after they gave me the medicine."

Zhou Rong walked over and sat on the side of the bed. Sinan leaned over meekly, letting him open his arms and hold him in front of his chest.

In just twenty minutes, the smell of the pheromone in the room changed. It was more fragrant than when he woke up in the morning, and he could even clearly feel it when he held his breath.

— — That was because the hormones acted directly on the nerves in the brain.

"What did you remember?" Zhou Rong asked in a low, slightly hoarse voice.

"They asked me where something was, but I really can't remember what it was.

Romuir's father was the leader and investor of many biochemical experiments. Did I steal the information related to the zombie virus? "

Sinan pressed the knuckle between his eyebrows and rubbed tiredly. Zhou Rong couldn't help but ask, "The relationship between Romuir and you is …"

"Step-brother," Sinan Hui answered, "After my father passed away, my mother should have married his father.

But the reason is very complicated, and I can't remember the specific details at the moment. "

Zhou Rong, "…"

Zhou Rong simply didn't know what to say. After a while, he pointed out the window, "You … you know that his father was the former Vice President of A Country, right?"

"Maybe," Sinan murmured.

At this moment, Zhou Rong's feelings were simply indescribable.

"Look," Sinan opened the brass pendant that never left his body and said, "These are my biological parents. Well … don't look at me like that. You just beat up the son of the former Vice President of A Country and threw him to the zombies. It's too late to think about diplomatic issues now."

Zhou Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Comrade Xiao Si, first tell me if your biological parents are high-ranking political officials or celebrities. Our diplomatic relations should still be saved in time …"

Sinan laughed.

"No," he said slyly, holding the pendant back and forth in front of Zhou Rong, "My parents are ordinary people. I don't remember what they do."

Zhou Rong gently grabbed the pendant and placed it in the palm of his hand to look at the old photo inside.

The pendant was still hanging around Sinan's neck. In this position, as long as Zhou Rong tightened his grip, he could immediately control his fatal point. However, Sinan was like a ferocious beast that had completely let down his guard against humans. He leaned lazily on Zhou Rong's shoulder.

"You look," Zhou Rong said, "at first glance, you look like your father, but after careful observation, you look like your mother.

But as an Alpha, your father does look very, um, classy … "

"You can just say that he looks like a white chicken in Alpha, the kind that has read a lot of books."

Sinan smiled, "But he's actually a Beta, and I'm an Omega born from a one-in-ten-thousandth case of B/O union. Do you want my autograph?"

Zhou Rong was surprised and looked at him in disbelief.

Sinan turned around and took out a pen and paper from the bedside table. Before he could pretend to sign his name, Zhou Rong took it away, "No, baby, I'm just exclaiming out of courtesy.

We actually have a ready-made Alpha born from an A/B union in our team. He's been hanging around there every day, so there's no sense of novelty anymore … "

Sinan thought he was talking about Chun Cao. After all, Chun Cao's development had always been puzzling. However, Zhou Rong shook his head regretfully.

"Although it has been scientifically proven that any combination of A/O and Beta will only give birth to a Beta offspring, and if an A/O offspring is born, it means that the gene is perfect and has a lot of genetic value. However, I once swore that before I found a wife, I would resolutely avoid praising Yan Hao's genes in front of any Omega."

"…" Sinan said expressionlessly, "You just reminded me."

Zhou Rong smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter. Yan Hao is thousands of miles away. He has long exceeded the organization's range of ten miles."

Sinan glanced outside.

The sky was vast, and the pine trees were like the sea.

Within a radius of 5000 meters, forget about Alpha zombies, even Alpha zombies were rarely seen.

"But even if he's here, it's useless," Zhou Rong suddenly said as he played with the brass pendant.

He hugged Sinan closer, and the two of them were almost nestled in the pillow.

The Omega pheromones floating in the bedroom became clearer. The fishy sweetness was seductive, and the undercurrent was surging, as if some kind of emotion was faintly about to emerge.

Sinan rested her head on Zhou Rong's deltoid muscle and made a small sound.

"If he's here, I'll let you choose yourself, and you'll definitely choose me.

Then I'll expel any other male creatures and firmly guard you in this territory. I'll stare at you without blinking until you cry and reach out … "

Sinan's body softened, and she asked lazily, "Why must I choose you?"

"Do you still need to ask?"

Zhou Rong teased. "You were captivated by my handsome and mature temperament from the first time you met me. Since then, you've been thinking about me day and night, and I've been the only one you want. I've seen it all."

Sinan snorted faintly from her nose and curled up with the blanket wrapped around her. The pool of warm water in the depths of her body seemed to fill up.

It seemed that it could overflow at any time with any careless movement.

Zhou Rong ignored her protest and threw away the T-shirt she had secretly hidden since last night. He took off the clean shirt she had just changed into and stuffed it into the blanket.

The replacement comforted Sinan's not very sober mood at the moment. She struggled to stretch out two fingers and pinched a button on the shirt to prevent it from being taken away by Zhou Rong again.

Zhou Rong leaned over and kissed her forehead, whispering, "It seems that you intend to follow the objective law of development, hmm?"

South Africa was often tired and too lazy to speak.

"Sleep for a while," Zhou Rong comforted her, "I'll get some food up."

Sinan closed her eyes.

Zhou Rong tucked her in and was about to get up when suddenly her little finger was hooked. She turned around and saw Sinan lifting one of his eyelids — he would do this when he was slightly interested in something and was very cautious.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you like me?" Sinan asked in a hoarse voice.

Zhou Rong laughed, "Of course."

He was full of tender affection and thought Sinan had asked a silly question, but the next sentence made his hair stand on end and goosebumps appear all over his body.

"What about the other Omega?"

Sinan said hopefully, "The one I met in the special forces competition. Do you remember him?"

Zhou Rong was speechless.

Zhou Rong realized that he was going through the toughest test of his life. The level of requirement for communication and expression was no less than the century-old problem of "Who would you save if your mother and I fell into the water at the same time?"
