Advent

"It's luxurious here."

Allen said calmly.

"Oh, we've just made it as good as we can—and I think Colonel Raymond would like to be in a comfortable environment when you're with him."

While talking, the medical officer made a gesture towards a certain position.

A curved chair suddenly flipped up from the ground and was placed beside Raymond's bed.

The medical officer leaned against that chair like a waiter in the Earth Cafe, and when he lifted it up, he motioned for Alan to walk over, and then sat down beside Raymond's bed.

Allen lowered his eyes.

After entering the ward, Allen had carefully looked at all the details around him, but he never looked at the bed.

Until this moment, under the motion of the medical officer, he had to face his former husband... Raymond Morecambe.

Allen's heart was pounding.

"Mr. Alan Morecambe." The medical officer saw that Alan remained motionless, and then urged him again.

Allen had no doubt that if he continued to stand in a corner far away from Raymond without taking any action, the man might call someone in from outside the door and force him onto Raymond's bed.

Oh, well, at least at this moment he was even in the mood to sneer, maybe the situation is not so bad - Allen said to himself.

Before the impatience and eagerness deep in the medical officer's eyes erupted, Allen hid all his thoughts in his heart, and then walked forward obediently.

He sat on a chair.

Raymond Morecambe was only a few dozen centimeters away.

Then Allen moved his gaze to Raymond's bed little by little...

He was a little astonished to see a translucent curved treatment cabin covering the bed, and its existence concealed all of Raymond's figure.

At this moment, the only thing Allen could see was a slender, hazy figure.

The medical officer observed Allen indiscriminately. He raised his hand and showed Allen the controller in his palm.

"Mr. Alan Morecambe, Colonel Raymond's treatment has been completed. After I press this button, he will be released from the treatment cabin. You can see each other immediately."

he said, looking across Alan's face.

After observing that Allen had been submissive and showed no resistance, the medical officer secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His attitude suddenly softened, and then he explained to Allen softly.

"...However, I need to remind you of one thing. Although Colonel Raymond Morecambe's recovery speed far exceeds our expectations, his situation is too special, and his body has some...unexplainable changes , I hope you can be mentally prepared."

Listening to the medical officer's somewhat urgent explanation, a vague thought appeared in Alan's mind.

these people……

These people seem to have some illusions about the relationship between themselves and Raymond.Of course, this may be due to the strange obsession that Raymond displayed when he woke up.

Allen thought indifferently in his heart.

They seem to think that as long as they create a sweet and comfortable intimate atmosphere for Alan and Raymond, Alan can play his role as an Omega and awaken Raymond as an Alpha.

Thinking of this, Allen's eyes became darker.

"I've seen him at his worst."

Allen interrupted the therapist's nonsense a little indifferently.

When the medical officer heard these words, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then a look of understanding appeared on his face. He obviously remembered the accident when Raymond Morecambe just woke up.

Oh yes, so Alan had indeed seen Raymond Morecambe at his most terrifying.After all, the human colonel who had just been released from the rescue capsule looked like an alien monster just crawled out of a third-rate horror movie, and even then, Allen was quite calm at the time.

It has to be said that the former "Kraken" did show a tough spirit that is far from ordinary Omega.

"All right……"

The medical officer grunted and pressed a button.

The arc-shaped rescue capsule slowly slid open to the sides, revealing Raymond's face, and then his body.

After a few days, Allen finally saw Raymond again.

He subconsciously held his breath, but quickly returned to normal.

On one point at least, the medical officer was right.

Raymond's recovery is really fast.

Allen still remembered the terrifying appearance of Raymond when he climbed out of the rescue cabin a few days ago: it seemed that only bones and muscles were left, and the skin had become sticky and translucent weird creature.

In contrast, Raymond in front of him now looks much better.

At least he doesn't look like a monster anymore.

Most of the man's body was covered under various pipes and gel bandages, and even the eyes were covered with thick hoods.

He hadn't used his eyes for so long that even the faintest light could do a great deal of damage to them.

The skin exposed outside the bandage is no longer as scary as he was in the rescue cabin, it is no longer transparent, and there are no signs of ulceration.His skin was smooth and cold, with a strange pallor.

Except for his excessive emaciation, and too many pipelines and monitoring instruments tied to his body, Raymond looked almost the same as a normal human being.

Of course, the premise of this "almost" is that people must ignore his slender limbs that are different from ordinary people.

Yes, Raymond looked... like a plasticine doll that had been carefully stretched to scale by invisible hands.

"Colonel Raymond's height and his limbs are elongated to varying degrees. According to our current preliminary inspection, this may be related to his staying in the dormant cabin for too long. It was caused by a drug reaction. Of course, there is another possibility that Colonel Raymond Morecambe suffered some kind of erosion in the time capsule that we don't know about at present..." As he spoke, the medical officer observed Ai Lun's expression, "However, please rest assured, one thing we can be sure of is that the deformity shown by Colonel Raymond is only manifested in physical appearance, and this distortion will not be contagious to anyone, it is only limited to himself , and then...after regular treatment, it might even return to normal."

Having said that, the medical officer suddenly stopped sounding amidst a burst of beeps. He looked at his wrist, and the communicator was vibrating.

Allen felt that he must have received some order, because after turning off the communicator, the medical officer immediately stopped all small talk.

"...Mr. Allen Morecambe, we will hand over to you Colonel Raymond Morecambe. I hope you can spend a good time with him here."

After the words fell, the medical officer nodded at Allen, and then backed out.

With the closing of the metal door, Raymond's ward suddenly fell silent. .

"Huh...huh...huh..."

The ventilator and life support equipment made small but regular beeps beside the bed.

Suddenly, Raymond's presence in the room became stronger.

For several minutes, Allen just stared silently at Raymond on the hospital bed.

He didn't make any sound or make any movement.

Ever since he came to the Tianmao human military base, Allen has always felt a sense of trance.The Raymond he sees here doesn't seem to be the real Raymond...

It was good when looking at Raymond through the glass window, or when he was pressed to the ground by that monster-like body.

Allen had trouble connecting the Raymond he saw on the base with the Raymond he remembered.

He thought that this strange strangeness would disappear when he saw Raymond on the hospital bed with his own eyes, but now...

Allen sat here, observing this lifeless and motionless body, but his thoughts became more and more strange.

How should I describe it?Allen felt as if he had split into two people. On the one hand, he felt that this shriveled, slender, pale man was so familiar that his bone marrow was slightly itchy.

On the other hand, he felt that the other party was extremely strange, so strange that he was confused.

For several minutes he stared at Raymond's face.Although thin, Allen could vaguely see the outline of Raymond in the past.

This one is strange... No matter how Alan looks at it, he can't overlap the face of the man in his vision with Raymond's ferocious face in his memory.

In other words, he knew intellectually that this man was Raymond Morecambe, the man who once raised his fist at him and was full of distorted emotions towards him.

But emotionally... Allen always felt that the "person" in front of him was not Raymond.

After hesitating for a long time, Allen let out a long sigh. He unconsciously bit his lower lip, and then slowly stretched out his fingers.

He didn't know why he did it, but under an inexplicable urge, he just reached out and stroked Raymond's exposed skin lightly.

That was definitely not the skin of a normal person. The moment his fingertips touched Raymond's skin, Allen confirmed this.

Raymond's skin looked a little moist and very cold.

For a moment, Allen almost thought he touched some kind of sticky mucous membrane—like touching some deep-sea creatures in an aquarium.

Raymond seemed to twitch slightly.

Allen was taken aback, and then suddenly withdrew his hand.

He looked at Raymond nervously... There was nothing unusual about the instruments, and Raymond himself remained motionless.

Is it an illusion?

Allen held his breath in bewilderment, and he was relieved when he couldn't help touching Raymond again.

The so-called mucosal touch and Raymond's twitching were indeed just illusions produced by him when he was overly nervous.

Raymond's body was as cold as a dead person, and the medical gel covering his body made his skin feel damp. .

Allen withdrew his hand, feeling a little relieved.

But he couldn't help looking at Raymond—

The man was still so pale, and his overly slender limbs made his proportions look strange.

If Raymond has a clear mind now and sees himself now, his expression must be wonderful.

Allen couldn't help thinking.

As an Alpha with a high rank, Raymond has the bad habits that all Alphas have.

He's arrogant, fierce, stupid, chauvinistic... and cares more about his appearance than anyone else.

He cares about his haircut, the honey-colored skin he deliberately tans, and his own smell.

Oh yes, the smell.

In the past, Raymond always sprayed himself with bad-smelling cologne, because Allen couldn't perceive any pheromones, and he was even stupid enough to try to arouse Allen's interest in this way, and then because Allen Showed indifference and became angry and made all kinds of stupid behaviors.

But now, Raymond finally achieved his previous wish in another way.

His smell has become very strong now, so strong that Allen can't ignore him anyway.

Raymond was soaked with a strange smell, maybe those spoiled gels--Raymond Morecambe stayed in those gels for 100 years, and the strange smell seemed to have gone deep penetrated into every cell of him.

Allen could smell that smell, a strong sense of presence, an unbelievably strong smell, and even the aroma of the expensive natural flowers beside the bed couldn't overwhelm that smell.

"..."

While noticing the smell, Allen frowned, and then he reached out and touched the back of his neck.

That little patch of skin was heating up.

This made Allen's eyes more serious.He had some suspicions that the people in the military base had sprayed some strange medicine in this room in order to make them have an intimate relationship...

That little piece of skin on the nape of the neck is quite special to Omegas, where their information glands are located.

It's a pity that, as a patient with congenital dysplasia of the information glands, Alan has never felt their existence, except for this moment.

Through the thin skin, Allen could feel that there were two small, pea-sized things beating constantly under the skin, which were... expanding information glands.
