The eldest brother's responsibility [Interstellar]

Cen Xing was suddenly yelled at, so he could only silently withdraw his little hand.

He watched the boy wrap himself tightly in the blanket, turning his head to the other side.

Cen Xing didn't dare to speak anymore, taking advantage of the rain, he wandered around the bare room of the house.

Except for the cumbersome counter and medicine cabinet at the entrance, the other facilities are too simple.

On his short legs he climbed onto the high stool on the counter.

There is a small envelope on the table, which has been opened, and the ink on it has begun to blur.

Cen Xing didn't know many characters, and could only vaguely discern a line of characters on it, '...Happy eighth birthday. 'The place for the name is a string of cursive characters, which Cen Xing doesn't quite recognize.

Maybe it was the little doctor's original name?

He looked at the sleeping boy again.

Are you only eight/.nine years old?At first glance, Cen Xing thought the boy was much older than him.Because I have lived in this kind of place for a long time, malnutrition is a very common phenomenon.If the actual age is younger than it looks, it must be that you have not been here for long, and you have lived a pampered life before.

After the rain stopped, Cen Xing went to the bakery and butcher shop as instructed.

"Food supply tablets, produced in the first star field, I will exchange this with you." Standing in front of the booth, Cen Xing carefully poured out two food supply tablets and handed them over.

"Yo, rare stuff. How did you get it, a kid?"

"It was stolen." Cen Xing lowered his head.

He is now covered in mud, and his silver-white hair has long been smeared with mud and carbon ash.

Due to the light, the azure blue eyes are dimmed, and there are almost no facial features.

"It is said that it is for military use. These two pieces can be used as food for four days, and the shelf life is very long."

Back at the habitat, Cen Xing put the bread and jerky on the counter.

The boy next to the brazier has already woken up.

"I got it, the bread and venison you wanted." Cen Xing tactfully kept a distance of about one meter from him, not approaching him.

"How did you get it?"

"Stolen." Cen Xing brazenly said.

His defensiveness made him afraid to let the boy know that he had food supplements.

"Ah."

Cen Xing didn't speak any more, and sat beside the brazier to keep warm.

The room was dry, and the temperature of the stove was comfortable, and after a while, he began to feel sleepy.

The dry and warm environment, the crackling sound of sparks brought a great sense of security, and soon, he fell asleep in a daze.

"Wake up."

After not sleeping for a while, my shoulders were shaken.

Before opening his eyes, the aroma of the broth entered his nostrils first.

Cen Xing quickly opened his eyes.

In the bowl in front of him was steaming hot broth with a strong aroma and no fishy smell at all.

Next to the broth, there was half a loaf of bread.

"It's for you. Eat it quickly. Work for me after eating."

He gobbled it up.

The temptation to eat meat was too great, and soon there was not even a drop of soup left in the bowl.

After eating, Cen Xing realized that the little doctor was fiddling with something on the counter.

Inside the medical tray, there was a small blade and a strong smell of alcohol.

"Take it." The boy handed him a gun.

Cen Xing took it, shaking in confusion.

Smaller than any gun he had ever seen, without a trigger.

Suddenly, he didn't know where to press it, and a small virtual movie review popped up on the gun.

There are only ghost symbols on it... no, the same characters as military runes.

"This is a miniature steam gun newly developed by the military. It can emit energy with a virtual screen. It has the greatest lethality within 10 meters, and can directly vaporize the skin within 1 meter." The young man explained and released the safety restrictions of the steam gun. , "Press this button to launch."

I saw a white smoke coming out of the steam gun, and the surrounding air was instantly hot.

Eventually, the white smoke dissipated into the air.

"Will it work?"

Cen Xing nodded, and followed the method the boy taught him just now, and fired an empty gun towards the ground once.

"Okay. If someone breaks in later, kill them."

In this kind of place, killing and being killed are happening every day, without legal supervision, it may be just a little grudge, and both parties will pay their lives.

Cen Xing nodded, "Okay, I will do it. But why did they force their way in?"

"My second sex was differentiated early, and now I'm in a special period. Alpha will be attracted by my pheromones. After a while, my pheromone release value will reach its peak... Forget it, you don't understand, you are too Small, can't smell."

Cen Xing really didn't understand.

The boy picked up the knife in the tray and slashed at the back of his neck viciously.

Cen Xing opened his eyes wide, his blue pupils dilated with shock.

Cen Xing hurriedly shouted, "Hello—"

"Don't, don't come here." The boy's face was covered with cold sweat, and his voice was trembling, "Look... Watch the door carefully. I smell the pheromone of alpha, someone wants to come over."

Cen Xing only dared to be obedient and stared at the door obediently.

"..."

"..." Behind him, the smell of blood and the sound of scissors cutting flesh were harsh.

"..." There was also the young man's suppressed growl when he endured the pain.

Cen Xing didn't dare to look back.

Put a knife into the back of the neck alive...

He couldn't even imagine the pain.

The smell of blood became stronger in the air.

Soon, there were footsteps outside the door.

"Which little omega didn't bring an inhibitor? Don't hide, it's useless."

"Hey, little doctor, is it your patient? I said, don't save this kind of omega, maybe he wants to be fucked—"

"...shoot." A weak voice sounded from behind.

Cen Xing held his breath, activated the steam gun, and moved towards the direction of the footsteps, holding the gun with both hands to stabilize his aim.

"—" There was a miserable cry from the entrance of the alley.

"Killed! Killed!"

"Why did he suddenly die suddenly!"

"Help……"

After making sure that no one came again, Cen Xing closed the door and hurried towards the counter.

The boy gasped, covering the wound on the back of his neck with trembling hands.

In the medical tray, there is a piece of flesh that has been gouged out, and the blood has not coagulated.

Cen Xing was stunned by this picture.

"Throw it away. Throw it out and feed it to the dogs."

Cen Xing looked at the piece of flesh and blood, not daring to move.

"What are you afraid of? That's my gland, the place where pheromones are emitted. Its existence will only bring disaster, dig it out, and I will be safe in the future."

Cen Xing still didn't dare to move.

He didn't understand what a gland was, he only knew that it was the flesh dug from the body alive.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you don't differentiate into an omega, you won't suffer like me. Throw it away for me, hurry up, I don't want to see it."

He held back his nausea, picked up the tray, and threw it hastily into the sewer at the corner of the street.

The animals near the sewage ditch smelled the fishy smell and rushed up immediately.

Cen Xing dropped the plate and hurried back.

On the third day after the glands were dug out, the boy developed a high fever.

Coughing and uncomfortable moaning filled the room.

Cen Xing got up almost every half an hour, replaced the wet towel on his forehead, and added charcoal to the stove to keep the room warm.

In the middle of the night, Cen Xing was really sleepy. He curled up less than one meter away from the boy and fell asleep in a daze.

The floor is too cold.

Half asleep and half awake, Cen Xing instinctively wanted to crawl into the blanket beside him.

It was warmer inside the blanket, and Cen Xing curled up in it safely.

Half an hour later, when the biological clock woke him up, Cen Xing realized that there was a trace of excessive body temperature mixed with the temperature of the blanket.

He realized that he had hit the little doctor.

Before he was ready to get up, his shoulders were pinned down.

"It's hard work, let's sleep for a while. I'm much better now, there's no need to change towels and add charcoal for me."

That hand just rested on his shoulder, pressing him firmly into the blanket.

It feels really, really safe to be surrounded.

The last time Cen Xing experienced this feeling was when he was hugging and sleeping with Dabai in the dog shed.

"Don't you hate people approaching you very much?" Cen Xing asked in a low voice as the blanket and the temperature in his arms were very comfortable.

"That's them, you are different. Go to sleep." The sleepy voice was very gentle, "Speak, you didn't steal the food a few days ago, right?"

Cen Xing was taken aback.

"You are so young, how could you steal so much food?"

Cen Xing was silent.

He really didn't steal it, he exchanged it with the food supply tablets in his hand.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it. It's a good thing to be vigilant to the people around you. Knowing how to guard against me shows that you have a good ability to survive."

Hearing this sentence, Cen Xing couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The other party is willing to let him get close, probably because he already trusts him?

"In exchange for food supplies. The hotel owner's daughter left it to me." After a moment of silence, Cen Xing still opened his mouth to explain.

After finishing speaking, Cen Xing hurriedly asked again, "After that, can I sleep next to you?"

"Ah."

Hearing this answer, Cen Xing didn't struggle with sleepiness anymore, and fell asleep peacefully.

It feels really good to hug someone.

Even if the other party is not a human, it is also a dog.

The peace of mind brought by the body temperature is irreplaceable.

"Little doctor, little doctor! There is a warship parked outside the city! They said it came from the first star field!"

Since that day, the little doctor and this house have become his habitat.

After getting acquainted with the little doctor, Cen Xing found that this person is still very enthusiastic.

At least warm to him.

When he is free, he will be taught to read and read, as well as some basic pharmacology.He will also cut clothes for him with the fabric on hand.He used to be envious of the hotel owner's daughter being able to eat and clothe herself warmly, but now, by accident, he has also obtained this kind of life.

The little doctor is like an older brother, taking care of him everywhere.

Cen Xing didn't quite know what the little doctor was originally from, but he could only feel that he hadn't lived in this dark place since he was a child, and even said that his life in the past should have been very good.

"Battleship?" The boy was a little puzzled.

"They said it was a battleship! Many people in military uniforms came down from it. They looked very powerful, and they seemed to be able to receive supplies."

The young man said indifferently, "Stay away from them. People in military uniforms are not good people. It doesn't matter if they don't want the supplies, maybe there is something bad in them. Don't go out to play before they leave, help me choose the vegetables .”

"Oh."

Although obediently choosing dishes, Cen Xing was still curious.

After the rice was cooked, Cen Xing still couldn't hold back, and slipped out while the little doctor was reading.

The last thing the Badlands lacks is a barren open space.

On the unobstructed short weed lawn, the huge battleship is particularly conspicuous.

Many people, old people and children lined up to receive supplies in front of the battleship.

Cen Xing stared intently at those people in military uniforms.

Just as he was fascinated, suddenly, a long shadow appeared beside him.

"Kids, look at this. If you are interested, you can come to us."

There is a small square on the palm of the hand.

Press the button, and a virtual screen pops up, with a simple promotional page and a promotional video on it.

"Giant beast genetic modification plan..." Cen Xing didn't quite understand the above words, so he could only repeat the words in the video, "If you are selected, you can guarantee that you will not worry about food and clothing, and live in the first star field..."

After reading the promotional content, Cen Xing was about to speak when he looked up and found that the officer had long since disappeared.
