Huo Xianfeng spent a whole month on his journey, while Jiang Ci completed it in less than a week. After all, an advanced starship’s speed was dozens of times faster than that of a garbage ship.
Before coming here, Jiang Ci had carefully reviewed the military’s confidential information about Winter Day Planet. It was originally a planet rich in mineral resources, but after its resources were depleted, it was designated as a garbage planet.
However, all of this was just superficial. Beneath the surface of this planet, numerous underground spaces and tunnels had been quietly established, and a massive underground city developed, hosting the largest black market in the entire Empire.
In reality, this place was a breeding ground for sin and evil. Various forces intersected and coexisted, notorious space pirates, bloodthirsty mercenaries, mysterious and ruthless bounty hunters, all these types of scum were everywhere to be found.
And what Jiang Ci needed was right there.
It was supposed to be He Zun’s plan to come here himself, but as a research scientist with no combat capabilities, he couldn’t accomplish this mission. Moreover, this matter couldn’t be known to anyone other than the two of them, so the final plan was for He Zun to provide cover in the hospital while Jiang Ci came to Winter Day Planet.
Due to years of excessive mining, Winter Day Planet’s surface was constantly covered in yellow sand, and with countless heaps of garbage, the people here all wore cloaks and scarves from head to toe, covering themselves thoroughly. Therefore, Jiang Ci also changed into the local attire. His appearance was too eye-catching, so it was better to cover up a bit.
“Oh, my cute and stubborn little young master, Xiao X once again advises you to leave quickly. Good children shouldn’t come to such dangerous places, la~” The exaggerated and worried tone of the AI came through the earpiece, annoying Jiang Ci, who pressed the necklace on his chest and scolded in a lowered voice,
“Shut up, I’ve told you not to call me like that!”
“Alright, my dear A-Ci.”
“…”
— This was an A-level mech he used during his student days. However, for some obvious reasons, Jiang Ci wasn’t very keen on using it. That’s because the installed artificial intelligence, Xiao X, was originally designed as a childcare AI suitable for preschool children. If it weren’t for the fact that this guy was one of the few relics left behind by his deceased parents, Jiang Ci would have thrown this thing into an electronics recycling facility eight hundred years ago. But now that Bai Ze had been confiscated by Zhou Jiuya, he had no choice but to bring this guy along.
The young omega major general lowered the hood on his head and managed to find a path through the piled-up garbage. He was dressed in a gray cloak, and the oversized, thick hood covered his face, with a black filtering mask concealing even his jaw.
However, even with all these precautions, he couldn’t escape the countless prying eyes around him. In fact, from the moment Jiang Ci appeared, he was being watched by dozens of pairs of eyes.
Everyone who could survive here was sharp-witted. Even though Jiang Ci had chosen to dress and disguise himself just like the people here, and had even used pheromone concealment, his tall, slender figure, graceful stride, and inherent refinement and ingrained upbringing made it impossible for him to look like one of those garbage scavengers.
All things considered, everything about Jiang Ci clashed with the dirtiness, darkness, and wickedness of this place. If one had to find a metaphor, it would be as if he were a beautiful ragdoll cat that had accidentally wandered into a den of jackals.
Click.
Jiang Ci suddenly halted his steps.
“Hey, a rare new face.”
There were two people standing in front of him, though more accurately, there were two alphas who were already emitting threatening pheromones.
Jiang Ci raised his head, and a frosty demeanor settled in his bright eyes.
“Move aside.”
“Oh, quite spirited, aren’t we?”
One of them chuckled and exchanged a look with his companion.
“Such a clean scent, you should be a decent beta.”
Jiang Ci had used a special concoction to simulate the most ordinary beta pheromones. Fortunately, he had injected a significant amount of suppressants earlier to mask his own pheromones, making this ruse effective.
The man with a scar on his face made a lewd hip-thrusting gesture.
“It’s been a while since we had a newcomer on Winter Day Planet. Let me have a taste first. When we take you to the underground city, we’ll surely fetch a good price.”
Xiao X whispered reassuringly in Jiang Ci’s ear with a tone suitable for comforting a child,
“My dear A-Ci, don’t be afraid. Based on the preliminary identification of their pheromones, they should all be B-class…”
“Ugh—”

For example, a physiological aversion to unfamiliar alpha pheromones.
The filter mask on his face has filtered out most of the pheromones, but the human pheromone receptors are not only located in the respiratory tract but spread throughout the body, it’s only that they are mainly concentrated in the respiratory tract.
The silver-haired omega covered his mouth and nose, showing an expression of extreme disgust.
“It’s really the trash picked straight out of the garbage,”
Such a reaction instantly enraged the other party, and the scar-faced man who had made the lewd gesture directly pulled out the electromagnetic gun from his waist.
“You damn—”
Whoosh—
At this moment, a smoke bomb was suddenly thrown from nowhere.
Bang!
In an instant, a dense gray smoke and an extremely pungent smell erupted within a ten-meter radius.
“Cough… Cough, cough, cough… What is this?!”
When the two regained their senses and used air cannons to disperse the smoke, it was already two to three minutes later.
The “beta” who had been standing there just now had already disappeared without a trace. The fat lamb that was within their grasp had escaped, and the scar-faced man cursed in frustration,
“Damn it! Where’s that person?!!”
“Yo——”
On the small hill behind the two, a black-haired youth stood with one hand in his pocket, tiltilting his head, and shrugging,
“While I’m not entirely sure, I should reluctantly count as a person, right?”
Meanwhile, Jiang Ci had successfully withdrawn several tens of meters away with the help of the smoke bomb. The supportive AI, Xiao X, immediately clapped its virtual hands and praised in an exaggerated tone,
“Wow, truly deserving of being my dear A-Ci…”
“…Who threw that smoke bomb just now?”
Jiang Ci tried to suppress the nausea in his stomach and asked,
“Did you locate it?”
“Of course!”
The AI system, created for childcare purposes, was delighted and said,
“Xiao X is efficient and reliable, dear. Don’t worry~”
“…”
If it weren’t for the fact that Bai Ze was detained, Jiang Ci swore he would never bring this noisy and overly maternal guy along. Fortunately, although Xiao X was chatty, it had the ability to get things done. Soon, it located the target individual.
However, it unexpectedly—
Turned out to be a little girl.
Tang Cha looked at the dissipated smoke and muttered to herself,
“I can only help up to this point. The rest is up to you.”
But as she turned around, she bumped into a tall, straight figure.
“!!!”
Although Jiang Ci is an omega, his height of around 1.78 meters made him stand out among male omegas, who averaged around 1.65 meters.
The silver-haired major general looked down at the child, his long association with the military giving him an imposing presence that froze the young girl in place, resembling a small quail overwhelmed by fear.
Years of experience in this environment made Tang Cha instantly want to escape. However, the next moment, the major general casually tossed something over.
Thunk!
Tang Cha instinctively backed away, not catching it, letting the object fall to the ground. It was just a small bundle of star coins. Not much, maybe two or three hundred, but enough for her to make seventy to eighty crude smoke bombs.
“…This is a token of appreciation for your help earlier,” he said.
Even though it was dealing with a few B-level alphas, for an S-level omega major general, he didn’t require assistance at all.
“Oh… okay,” Tang Cha tentatively picked it up, her movements reminiscent of a wary stray cat hesitantly snatching a offered treat.
“So, we’re even now. I’ll be on my way,” she added.
“Wait.”
Jiang Ci stopped her but didn’t approach the child who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
“I want to ask you something. How do you enter the Winter Day Planet’s underground city?”
“Over there…”
Tang Cha bit her lips and hesitated.
“It’s best if you don’t go,” she warned. But as a child who grew up in this place, her kindness and advice only went so far. She didn’t insist further and just pointed in a direction.
“If you really have to go, find Wei He, the owner of the recycling station.”
With that, she immediately turned and ran, quickly disappearing into the vast expanse of garbage mountains.
Jiang Ci turned his head and looked in the direction the girl had just indicated and saw a building that resembled a factory.
The silver-haired major general squinted his eyes and contemplated his next move.
“Recycling station…?”
Meanwhile, Tang Cha maneuvered through various twists and turns and surprisingly returned to the spot where Jiang Ci had encountered the two alphas earlier. However, the situation was quite different now. The once overbearing alphas laid at someone’s feet, their bodies twisted in unnatural positions and their fates uncertain. Upon seeing the familiar black figure, Tang Cha ran toward it joyfully, like a little deer.
“Xiao Huo-gege —”
The teenager casually wiped off the blood on his fingertips, turned around, and saw the little girl running toward him.
Tang Cha, twelve years old, is an ordinary beta girl born on Winter Day Planet. A week ago, she had been captured by human traffickers, but Huo Xianfeng had intervened and rescued her. Coincidentally, he needed a local guide, so he had temporarily kept her by his side.
The broad hood obscured the teenager’s face, revealing only a hint of his jawline. Compared to when he first woke up on the Ancient Earth, he had grown significantly taller.
Huo Xianfeng casually asked, “How’s the new beta?”
Tang Cha thought for a moment and sighed, “I think he’s a good person… but he probably won’t survive long on this planet.”
The teenager nodded in agreement, “Hmm, that’s probably true.”
Domestic pet bunnies really shouldn’t stay in a jackal’s den.
But Huo Xianfeng wasn’t in the mood to meddle in other people’s business. His only goal was those two human traffickers. As for the new beta he encountered earlier, it was just a chance encounter. What happened to him afterward wasn’t his concern.
However, when he saw the little girl hesitate, Huo Xianfeng asked her another question, “What’s wrong?”
After a moment of hesitation, Tang Cha took out the small bag of star coins that Jiang Ci had given her and said hesitantly,
“I feel like he might be… pregnant.”
Whether omega or beta, they would enter a period of weakness after pregnancy. Most importantly, in an era where the birthrate had dropped to negative numbers, the price of pregnant people and babies in the black market was surprisingly high.
A pregnant beta appearing on Winter Day Planet was like a completely defenseless rabbit wandering into a pack of wolves.
Huo Xianfeng recalled the odd dry heaving of that beta earlier, and he showed a slightly surprised expression,
“How do you know?”
“Pregnant beta pheromones have a special smell. I smelled it… in my mother’s.”
Tang Cha held up the small bag of star coins that Jiang Ci had given her, indicating for him to take a whiff,
“Although it’s very shallow and carefully covered with supressors, I can confirm that he has similar ones on his body.”
——This was also the main reason Huo Xianfeng had kept the little girl by his side.
Tang Cha had a naturally keen sense for pheromones, and as an underage beta, she wasn’t affected by pheromones. This made her the perfect fit for filling in his current deficiency.
Huo Xianfeng casually swept his eyes over the bag of star coins, but he didn’t take it.
——He hadn’t told Tang Cha that he couldn’t sense pheromones.
But since the little girl said the beta was pregnant, it was most likely true.
Seeing that he didn’t seem interested in taking the bag, Tang Cha quietly put it away again,
“But there’s something else strange about it.”
She frowned,
“Whether it’s an omega or a beta, they will feel a strong sense of dependence on their partner during pregnancy. Unless absolutely necessary, they’ll spend the entire pregnancy period with their partner, and they would also carry their partner’s strong pheromones. But…”
The girl’s hesitation made Huo Xianfeng furrow his brows slightly, “But what?”
“But the beta just now didn’t have any other alpha or beta pheromones.”
——This was simply impossible.
Until Tang Cha realized something and her expression suddenly turned somewhat sad, “Unless he…”
Unless his partner is dead. Then, a pregnant beta will have no trace of their partner’s pheromones, just like her mother.
Huo Xianfeng guessed what Tang Cha hadn’t said,
“Are you saying—”
The young man raised his eyebrows slightly,
“—He’s a pregnant widow?”
