"Where is he? How did he disappear after coming here?! Do you want Young Master Lin to sever your tendons?! A bunch of useless trash! Go find him!"
Just as Shen Lanting finished expressing her joy at finally being free after becoming an Omega, they heard a cacophony of running sounds overhead. Their conversations, mixed with the torrential rain, came through as the leader reprimanded his subordinates for their incompetence.
Shen Lanting was a little nervous, but he still instinctively hugged his younger brother, pressing his brother's head against his chest, his eyes coldly staring at the direction above.
Shang Shujue felt a little uncomfortable being suddenly hugged like this, but he did not reject the intimate embrace. Shen Lanting was trembling, and he was very scared, but as the older brother, he had to protect his younger brother, so he briefly overcame his fear.
In the original timeline, Shen Lanting was unable to save his already doomed younger brother. During their escape, his brother died on his back, and by the time he realized it, it was too late.
He was also badly injured at the time. After burying his younger brother with a broken heart, he wanted to end his life, but he fainted at the last moment and was found by a Beta farmer.
Then he discovered the baby in his belly, and only then did he give up his suicide attempt. He went to a remote city and gave birth to Shen Liyan.
Shen Lanting raised Shen Liyan until he was 18 years old, then fell seriously ill and passed away. He took nothing with him when he died, leaving Shen Liyan all alone in the world, without any relatives or friends, and utterly destitute.
But Shen Liyan was not discouraged. He had the strength and integrity of his Alpha father and the wisdom, stubbornness and tenacity of his Omega father. So he overcame all obstacles and came to the capital city, hoping to make his mark. But he was blocked by Lin Xinhe.
If it weren't for Lin Xinhe's interference, Shen Liyan would have become the first Omega to stand on the political stage, and one after another Omega as outstanding as him would have risen behind him. Unfortunately, everything was ruined.
The "Young Master Lin" mentioned by those who were hunting them was Lin Xinhe's Alpha father. He was selfish, tyrannical, and a man who inspired fear in everyone. He also held a significant position in political circles.
They can't touch the Lin Family for now, but that might change in the future. Shang Shujue narrowed his eyes slightly, but remained silent upon hearing the news of their departure.
He pretended to reach into his pocket, but actually exchanged for nutrient solutions from this world in his spatial storage. There were exactly two bottles, each the size of a medium-sized ampoule, but enough to replenish their strength and alleviate their hunger after a day and a night of escape.
"Brother..." Shang Shujue's voice was hoarse, a hoarseness he hadn't heard in a long time, a little unpleasant to hear, but his words were clear, "This is what I hid before I fell asleep, quickly replenish your energy."
Shen Lanting looked down at him and saw that he was holding two bottles of bright blue nutritional supplements. Her eyes suddenly reddened. These were her younger brother's favorite blueberry-flavored nutritional supplements. He must have been too sick and delirious to drink them recently.
"Little brother, drink it. Big brother isn't hungry." Shen Lanting held Shang Shujue's hand, pushed the nutritional supplement forward, and gently rubbed his head. "Your health isn't good; you need more nutrition than your brother."
Shen Lanting spoke in a low voice, as if afraid that the group would return and discover their whereabouts. Shang Shujue knew that he was still scared and nervous, so he also spoke in a lower voice.
"Brother, we need to have the strength to escape together. Also, I feel a strong surge of pregnancy hormones in your body; you might be carrying your husband's baby..."
As Shang Shujue said this, he placed one of the nutrient solutions in his palm and drank the other himself. The nutrient solution was instantly converted into energy, making his currently weak body feel a little better.
"What?" Upon hearing Shang Shujue's words, Shen Lanting reflexively touched her stomach, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears. " Xiao Jue, really? You really smelled it?"
In Shang Shujue's memory, the original owner of this body was extremely sensitive to all smells, so he could accurately detect information by smell from a young age, comparable to a police dog.
It's just that he's physically weak, always getting a minor illness every three days and a major illness every five days; otherwise, he would have been a pampered darling by now.
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the baby might grow up to be a beautiful and intelligent Omega like her brother. So, brother needs to drink this nutrient supplement. I'm feeling much better now. Once the rain stops, we'll head east to the grasslands."
Shang Shujue took the nutritional supplement from Shen Lanting, removed the cap, handed it to him, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiling, "We'll all be alright."
"Yes, that's good. Our family of three is all doing well."
Shen Lanting smiled through his tears. After he finished speaking, he drank the nutritional supplement in his hand, and then he and his younger brother huddled together waiting for the rain to stop.
The pursuers returned, unwilling to give up, but found nothing but water in the ditch, and with the water likely to rise soon, they couldn't hide anyone. In the end, they slunk away.
Just as dawn was breaking, the rain stopped. Shen Lanting and Shang Shujue helped each other leave the ditch, avoiding the crowds, and stumbled eastward.
Nuomi arranged a smart bus for Shang Shujue and the others. The bus was fast and stable, with minimal bumps throughout the journey, and the surroundings were very safe.
There was a faint calming scent in the car, Shen Lanting quickly fell asleep leaning against her younger brother. Seeing this, Shang Shujue summoned Nuomi to scan his body, which revealed malnutrition and excessive fatigue.
" Nuomi, make the bus invisible and use the Divine Movement Talisman to teleport directly to our destination. Shen Lanting's health can't be delayed for too long; let him sleep for three days and three nights, and make sure he gets enough nutrition."
"Don't worry, host, I know what I'm doing."
As soon as Nuomi finished speaking, she entered the System Space. The moment the Divine Movement Talisman successfully deducted the cost, Shang Shujue spat out a mouthful of blood. This world was a high-level mission world.
Even though his Merit Points were deducted, he still couldn't avoid being punished in order to ensure the smooth operation of the laws. Fortunately, he only coughed up blood and suffered some minor internal injuries, but he recovered well.
[Host, are you alright?]
Nuomi was extremely worried. Shang Shujue wiped away a mouthful of blood and shook his head. "I'm fine, I won't die. Nuomi, after we jump to the other side, have Song Yanqing come and pick us up."
Okay, I got it.
Upon receiving Nuomi's message, Shang Shujue nodded, closed his eyes to rest, and thought, "This world is truly interesting. An ABO world... wouldn't that mean I could..."
Shang Shujue couldn't help but open her eyes and glance at her stomach, then shivered. "Forget it, I can't accept it now, I'll deal with it later!"
