Pheromone Recognition DisorderCh50.2 - A-Ci’s social death

Social death refers to an embarrassing situation where you want to die due to embarrassment

“Huo Xianfeng… Huo Xianfeng…?” KSJ8f9

Jiang Ci saw a painful expression on the young man’s face for the first time,  the latter seemingly trapped in a terrifying nightmare, unable to break free.

He could only look around anxiously and ascertain that this seemed to be a life-bearing planet not yet recorded in the Empire’s registry.

There was no signal and no coordinates.

Looking up, he could see lush, giant trees and various strange and gigantic plants. If Jiang Ci didn’t vividly remember that he and Huo Xianfeng had fallen into the space crack opened by Leinster, he might even think they had entered an Ancient Earth world holographic experience game. DeawUL

Rustle――

Rustle――

The tree shadows swayed, and the dense leaves produced eerie sounds as if there were faint roars coming from a distance. Yet when you listened carefully, it all seemed like an illusion. In any case, this strange atmosphere, like the silence before a death in a horror movie, made one’s hair stand on end.

Jiang Ci tightly gripped Bai Ze’s gun form, half-kneeling beside Huo Xianfeng, vigilantly surveying the surroundings. He had a vague sense of an unfavorable premonition but hadn’t yet detected anything specific.

In this unfamiliar and dangerous environment, the preferred choice of weapons was, of course, firearms.

The silver-haired major general maintained this posture for nearly twenty minutes until he confirmed that there were no anomalies around. He then slightly lowered his weapon, preparing to take out the medical device to examine what was happening with Huo Xianfeng.

But the moment Jiang Ci put down the gun, he felt a cold wind whistling from behind him. In an instant, a terrifying chill ran straight from his spine to his scalp.

The silver-haired major general flicked his wrist, and through the reflection on the gun’s side, he saw a huge shadow swooping down from above, roaring as it charged straight at him. L5nFVx

In that moment, Jiang Ci’s heart shuddered, unable to clearly discern whether the shadow was a person or some eerie monster.

Yet, without hesitation, he rolled on the ground and immediately fired blindly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of the silenced gunshots was very soft, but all three shots hit the bullseye! tAH5uh

A large spray of blood burst in the air!

“Roar――!!!”

The black beast roared in pain, a fist-sized hole in its heart. The pungent smell of blood sprayed all over the ground as it staggered back, madly struggling on the ground. Eventually, it unwillingly wheezed its last breath.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Ci finally saw the true identity of the assailant. B9qYi0

— A black chimpanzee.

Although Earth had long turned into a dead planet, the survivors who had escaped initially took away a complete genetic library of Earth’s flora and fauna. Through certain means, they were able to reintroduce extinct creatures into this world, making it possible for one to see genetically cloned black chimpanzees in the Capital’s zoo.

[A-Ci, do you know what animal has the closest genetic similarity to humans?] qoEAWM

His friend nonchalantly wrote a series of incomprehensible genetic equations on the electronic board while he explained, [It’s the black chimpanzee. Despite having only a two percent difference in genes, it determines what can only be an animal, while the other becomes the owner of Earth.]

Pointing at the electronic board with his pen, He Zhun added, [If someone wants to conduct experiments related to human genetics, these guys should be the best genetic research materials.]

It’s important to note that, generally speaking, the average spiritual power level for ordinary people is only D-level, and those who can enter military academies are B-level or above. zMnhZw

A-level individuals are a select few elite. And if someone is classified as S-level, they’re already on the level of figures like Zhou Jiuya.

But—

A chimpanzee is an animal!

Even in an era where humans have evolved into six genders and have spiritual abilities, animals are still animals. Although they also have brainwaves, they could never reach the level of the so-called spiritual powers. 4EXpUt

These creatures were clearly extinct on Earth long ago. Even if their genes were cloned, how could they have reached a spiritual level comparable to that of ordinary humans?!

“………”

Jiang Ci suddenly began to doubt, doubting whether every seemingly casual remark made by He Zhun was some kind of hint. Otherwise, how could he have received so many perfect suggestions each time?

Swish— vJPRzr

Swish, swish—

The silver-haired major general tightened his grip on his weapon, as only now could he see the countless stirring shadows in the forest, excited roars echoing back and forth. In other words, it wasn’t just a single chimpanzee; it might be a group.

His expression became serious. With the situation unclear, he didn’t know if he had entered the Church’s territory, so he couldn’t rashly use large-scale weapons in order to avoid exposing his position.

Moreover, Bai Ze had experienced two major battles and had only thirty percent of its energy left, while Xiao X, having served as the temporary core of the Forbidden Abyss before, had only ten percent of its energy left. Jiang Ci had spent three days lying in the infirmary and hadn’t had time to replenish the energy of his two mechas. hFc ny

He quickly observed the twisting black shadows in the jungle and finally found the one that seemed to be the leader among the group of chimpanzees.

That terrifying behemoth was nearly three meters tall, like a black mountain.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Xiao X, activate the defense shield and keep an eye on him!”

Jiang Ci stood up, and, not waiting for a reply, immediately pulled the gun’s trigger— 7o8POm

Bang, bang, bang!

But the other party was already prepared and swiftly dodged. Some excited and angry screeches came from all directions as Jiang Ci agilely slid on the ground, evading the first two animals charging at him without even looking, and then blindly fired two shots—

They were direct hits on their heads.

“Roar—!!!” byDhlX

Perhaps sensing this provocation, the black chimpanzee leader roared and lunged down in the momentary gap when Jiang Ci had just fired. The latter rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the other party’s claws.

“Bai Ze!!!”

Swish—

The gun instantly transformed, turning into a two-meter-long silver spear. With a soft sound, it pierced through the left eye socket of the black chimpanzee, bursting out a large amount of foul-smelling blood. 7Qi1lr

Fwish!

In that instant, all the black chimpanzees froze. They finally realized that they couldn’t succeed. They remained in place, roaring in fear and agitation for a while, before reluctantly leaving, dragging away the body of their fallen comrade.

At first, Jiang Ci thought it was some kind of camaraderie among them, but this idea didn’t linger in his mind for too long. When he left with Huo Xianfeng at high speed, he looked back and saw that the chimpanzees had torn off the heads of the dead bodies and were actually eating the brains of their fellow comrades. Q574LB

—This scene was downright chilling.

He didn’t look back again, suppressing the urge to vomit, and activated Bai Ze’s semi-completed form, immediately flying away.

It wasn’t until nightfall that Jiang Ci found a secluded and safe cave. He then settled Huo Xianfeng down, who seemed to be running a fever the whole time, showing no signs of waking up.

In the Interstellar Era, after several generations of genetic modifications, humans rarely fell ill. Even lifespan and youth had been extended to several hundred years, something completely unimaginable in the Ancient Earth era. N9nzlD

—Could it be a virus or parasite infection?

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Jiang Ci thought of the thing that pierced the young man’s arm in the space rift opened by Leinster. That golden, organism-like unidentified object looked very much like some kind of parasite.

He pursed his lips, hesitated for a minute, and took out a medical device to test the other’s blood. rxB0Zm

Drip, drip—

Jiang Ci was prepared for the possibility that there was something special about the other party. After all, an ordinary human couldn’t shatter a gravity magnetic field with a single punch or even send an S-level mecha flying away.

But the medical device gave him normal test results.

—All values were normal. eundoP

At this moment, Huo Xianfeng seemed to be trapped in some nightmare, with cold sweat soaking his forehead and his furrowed brows showing a hint of pain.

“………” 

Jiang Ci was slightly stunned.

This was the first time he had seen the other so fragile. Ever since he first met Huo Xianfeng, the latter seemed invincible, as if he had everything under control. DRy96I

He  hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently wiped the young man’s soaked forehead. Unexpectedly, there was no sour smell of sweat like that of an alpha soldier, only a faint scent of pheromones.

Jiang Ci’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. For an omega who had already been marked, this was quite tempting.

But the other was still running a fever.

He closed his eyes tightly, suppressing a strange, hot feeling. bKUIZQ

Unable to confirm the cause of the fever, Jiang Ci didn’t dare to use medications rashly and could only resort to the most primitive method. He found some alcohol wipes and carefully wiped the young man’s forehead and palms, physically cooling him down.

Huo Xianfeng had torn off half of his sleeve earlier and had also been swept away by the space rift, so his clothing was already tattered. Jiang Ci simply cut off his clothes and wiped away the dust and blood stains from his skin with alcohol.

Thus, the young man’s upper body was completely exposed. It was a very young and beautiful alpha physique—broad shoulders, narrow waist, with muscular lines that were not over-the-top but just right. His abdominal muscles were beautifully defined, and with a touch, you could feel a flexible yet powerful feeling that hinted at the terrifying explosive power hidden within them.

But his beauty was even more astonishing than the top male models on the Interstellar Network. zVJMte

Suddenly, Jiang Ci remembered the night when he woke up in Huo Xianfeng’s room. Originally, he should have been covered in blood and dirt, but when he woke up, he was clean.

What happened was obvious.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Jiang Ci’s breathing rate became a bit erratic, but there was no other expression on his face. He just helped wipe the young man’s upper body and was about to cover him with an emergency blanket when he suddenly noticed something.

Jiang Ci remained silent for two seconds, then reached out and slowly pulled down a bit of the young man’s waistband. Underneath his tight and narrow abdomen, a mysterious and strange black pattern appeared , which looked like some kind of tattoo, extending deeper along his mermaid line. zkKrjo

—It was actually the unique Zerg pattern of the Zerg King.

But Jiang Ci didn’t know this information.

He carefully recalled that when Huo Xianfeng took off his clothes and exposed his upper body in the desert, there were no tattoos. Just a few short days had passed, and Huo Xianfeng almost always stayed with him; where could he have gotten a tattoo from?

Moreover, the people from the Church also had similar patterns. Jiang Ci immediately became alert. He reached out and touched, finding that those black tattoos seemed to be inherent in the skin itself, not moving or growing, and there was nothing strange about them. tmLBsI

Jiang Ci frowned, intending to pull down the waist of his pants to take a closer look.

“Hn…”

Just then, Huo Xianfeng let out a low hum. Then, he slowly opened his eyes. As he lowered his head, his bewildered gaze eventually fell on the current scene of Jiang Ci pulling at his waistband.

Huo Xianfeng: “……….?” qYgpcM

Jiang Ci: “………”
