Chapter 13: 013 Can't I just live like an ordinary person?. . .
【Can't I just live like an ordinary person?】
In the moment when she swiftly reached out to save someone and fell down, Feng Wu was surprised to discover that the earth was shaking, but only the small patch of land beneath her and Yan Zhong was shaking. The only thing shaking was Yan Zhong's clumsy scream of surprise as he dragged Feng Wu and fell into the wind, crashing into the depths of the forest several meters below.
She was an Alpha, but just an Alpha, not Ultraman or a mecha superhero.
She stumbled and climbed up from the bottom of the pit, snapped her dislocated leg bone back into place with a click, wiped the small wounds caused by the branches, and found Yan Zhong who was covered in scratches by the branches near a small stream.
He wasn't seriously injured because when he was about to hit the ground, he let go of Feng Wu's hand and activated his jetpack.
Yan Zhong also noticed her and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Oh, you're awake? I told you, an Alpha like you can't just die like that. Especially one who has awakened the gene lock."
Feng Wu stood by the stream and asked, "Why?"
Yan Zhong replied, "Why? Didn't I already say it? I hate you privileged Alphas."
The forest was even darker than the rocky protrusions, and the damp and oppressive air made people feel suffocated. Yan Zhong pointed to the trickling water, "This is the second time I've fallen to this place, and it's exactly the same. Even the splashes of the stream haven't changed."
"The first time I fell, it was an ordinary Alpha with a C rating who was causing trouble. He had never been to the bustling capital city, but all the mercenaries outside the Star Sea knew his name. Whenever he appeared in a bar, the crowd would flock to him, which was annoying. After I threw him down, he couldn't get up for half a day, so I sent him on his way."
That was a distant memory. After the discovery of the new human genes, their lifespan was extended to three hundred years, while Solo, the leader of the mercenary group, had only lived for a hundred years. At first, their mercenary group was not powerful, without any Alphas to protect them. Any stray cat could cause trouble at their doorstep, especially after the appearance of Kevin, a C-ranked mercenary.
Kevin was the second-in-command of the enemy "Armor" mercenary group, and he constantly fought with Solo due to his bloody hunting methods. After gaining the upper hand, he even boasted that any job from the "Rock" mercenary group would receive a 20% discount after being transferred to their "Armor" group.
The last glimmer of light disappeared into the forest, and a faint green light flickered in the distance. Yan Zhong's voice was so low that it was buried in the wind.
"I'm the same as you. In fact, I also joined the mercenary group halfway. When I first arrived, Solo said I was as skinny as a monkey. I didn't have money to buy equipment, so he gave me everything he had and taught me how to use it." He paused, his voice steady and flawless. "That was the most difficult time for the mercenary group. We couldn't get any jobs and could only rely on Hannah's help with household chores to make a living."
"Do you know about the 'Night Empire'? It's a widespread trafficking organization throughout the empire. No matter where or what identity, as long as night falls, they exist in the shadows, engaging in illegal activities such as gene modification, human trafficking, organ trafficking, and altering pheromones. I came from there. I used to be an orphan, but I escaped after being kidnapped into the Night Empire. Later, I killed Kevin without anyone knowing and sold his dismembered body back to the Night Empire. . ."
