Picking Up An Alpha On Garbage Star - Chapter 47

Pei An’s gaze swept over the three interstellar pirates, his fingertips moved slightly, and his vast psychic power suddenly condensed, gripping the limbs and throats of the three men.

 

“I’m quite reasonable, unlike you. I’m not cruel at all,” Pei An increased the pressure of his psychic power once again. “Relax a bit, and you won’t suffer.”

 

These three interstellar pirates were all alphas, with relatively high ranks. However, compared to Pei An, whose psychic power had evolved into an ability, they were much weaker, although stronger than those lying on the ground outside.

 

Indeed, interstellar pirates were not known for their kindness; using force was often the most effective method. The fact that these three individuals could become the leaders of the Dragon Port base meant that they were the strongest among the tens of thousands of people in the base.

 

Dealing with them was indeed troublesome, but not impossible.

 

Instead of spending his mental energy on forcing these three interstellar pirates to confess voluntarily, Pei An chose to directly engage them in a psychic battle, thoroughly breaking their mental strength and influencing their brains.

 

“You see, if you insist on resisting, there will be bloodshed, won’t there?” Pei An stepped back a bit, disdainfully covering his nose and mouth.

 

As these three interstellar pirates resisted his psychic power, Pei An managed to make some progress. One of them, whose limbs were tightly bound by Pei An’s power, continued to resist. But with this resistance came more injuries.

 

Since both alphas and omegas had pheromones in their blood, when these three began to bleed, Pei An inevitably caught a whiff of the alpha pheromones.

 

“What are you?” One of the interstellar pirates, with messy brown hair, seemed the most relaxed, still able to speak with strength despite glaring angrily, as if he wanted to tear Pei An apart.

 

Pei An waved his hand. “Looks like you still have the strength to talk to me. It seems I haven’t served you properly.”

 

Moving to a more advantageous position, Pei An strengthened his psychic power, focusing solely on him.

 

The interstellar pirate with messy brown hair was hit by Pei An’s psychic power, causing more cuts to appear on his face, blood gushing out.

 

Shifting to a more favorable position, Pei An could still smell the alpha pheromones faintly. He took out a bottle of blocking spray and sprayed it wildly, all while saying, “It smells really bad.”

 

No alpha or omega would be pleased to hear someone disparage their pheromones. Pei An, as an omega, openly expressing disgust toward the alpha pheromones of these three men, triggered their innate alpha competitiveness. Frustrated by being suppressed by Pei An, they couldn’t move much, only making slight movements with certain parts of their bodies.

 

Pei An found it quite amusing. These three alphas, getting so worked up over a comment about their pheromones, and inadvertently revealing their weakness to him, reminded him of men in his past life who couldn’t stand criticism.

 

But comparing male genitals to information pheromones among alphas now was indeed quite different; both were comparisons related to sexual organs. Pei An couldn’t quite understand why some people could treat their genitals as brains.

 

Do they really think of themselves as incomplete beasts?

 

As time passed, someone couldn’t hold on anymore. Among the three, there was indeed a distinction between the strong and the weak. The weakest one’s gaze became unfocused, and he had the most wounds. Under the gaze of his two companions, he gradually lost his ability to resist.

 

“Shifeiwan!” The one with messy brown hair, as expected, was the strongest. Even at this moment, he still had the strength to shout his companion’s name through gritted teeth.

 

Pei An snapped his fingers lightly. “Shifeiwan, is it?”

 

Shifeiwan answered dully, “Yes.”

 

Very well, one down.

 

“I’m asking you, where did you hide the biochemical weapons?” Both the one with messy hair and the other interstellar pirate widened their eyes, bloodshot and filled with disbelief. The biochemical weapons were the biggest secret of their base. How did this omega in front of them know about it?

 

Under Pei An’s control, Shifeiwan answered immediately, “There’s a warehouse in the forest ten kilometers east of the base. The biochemical weapons are stored there.”

 

Pei An nodded in understanding. No wonder Xie Yu took action directly. He must have known that the biochemical weapons were not in the base, allowing him to attack confidently.

 

“Today, a spacecraft carrying biochemical weapons flew out of here. Where was it headed?” Pei An continued to inquire.

 

This time, Shifeiwan said, “I don’t know.”

 

Pei An raised an eyebrow and looked at the other two interstellar pirates who were still struggling with the last bit of pressure.

 

“Between the two of you, who knows?” Pei An asked.

 

Shifeiwan turned and pointed to the one with messy hair.

 

The one with messy hair almost wanted to explode with anger at Shifeiwan’s response.

 

Pei An chuckled, but his smile was sinister. “You see, no matter how much you resist, it all comes to this.”

 

He once again increased the mental pressure on the one with messy hair. Despite his struggles, more cuts appeared on his body, and blood flowed out, turning him into a half-blooded mess.

 

The scene was gruesome, but the effect was significant. The one with messy hair lost his last bit of resistance and, like Shifeiwan, became dull-eyed and devoid of his own thoughts.

 

“Come on, let’s do some introductions,” Pei An said, pinching his fingers. “Are you called Beileijias or Andiku?”

 

“It’s Andiku,” the one with messy hair answered.

 

“Then, Andiku, tell me, where was the spacecraft carrying the biochemical weapons headed today?” Pei An’s gaze was deep, hiding his simmering anger.

 

Andiku replied, “It’s headed for the Balem star system.”

 

The Balem star system was closer to the Central star system than the Locke star system. Going to the Balem star system directly from the Locke star system would save a lot of time.

 

“Why was it being sent to the Balem star system?” Pei An continued to question.

 

“It was decided to deploy the biochemical weapons in the Balem star system. If the experiment is successful, the weapons will be sent to even further locations,” Andiku explained.

 

Pei An pressed his hand against his forehead. He was now so angry that he wanted to tear these three interstellar pirates into pieces and send them to accompany their comrades. However, there were still many questions to ask, so he had to suppress his emotions for now.

 

“Why choose the Balem star system? Why wasn’t it detected by the customs when crossing from the Locke star system? Where did you get the biochemical weapons from?” Pei An asked three questions in a row. Andiku, whose mind was not functioning well at the moment, couldn’t respond immediately. After a while, he answered, “The Balem star system is in the patrol domain of the Seventh Corps of Hulek. Hulek is cowardly and selfish. He won’t actively confront us. Even if biochemical weapons are deployed in the Balem star system, he won’t come to pursue, only try to remove his negligence.”

 

“As for the customs of the Locke star system, someone from the General Customs Administration went to make a deal, claiming to smuggle a batch of scarce goods to the Balem star system. No one would know that the spacecraft was carrying biochemical weapons.”

 

“We don’t know where the biochemical weapons came from. It’s a single-line transport from above, and we’re only responsible for receiving and storing them at the Dragon Port base.”

 

Beileijias watched Andiku spill everything, feeling despair, and closed his eyes, waiting for death.

 

“Who helped you with customs clearance at the Locke star system General Customs Administration?” If this person could be caught, maybe more information could be uncovered.

 

“It’s the secretary of the Customs Administration Director, named Morton. This person is very greedy and has been helping us for many years,” Andiku confessed.

 

Pei An’s temples throbbed incessantly. The more he dug, the more alarming it became.

 

“Did he also help with your human trafficking?” Pei An continued to squeeze information out of Andiku.

 

“Yes, whenever our spacecraft passed through the Locke star system, Morton helped provide cover, allowing our ships to pass smoothly,” Andiku sold out his accomplice.

 

Pei An had asked almost all the questions he needed to. Finally, he asked one more question: “What’s the secret code for your databank?”

 

Andiku dutifully reported a string of alphanumeric symbols, totaling eighteen characters, much more complex than the average databank password. The complexity and difficulty of cracking such a password indicated the importance of the protected information.

 

These three interstellar pirates were of no more use. Pei An clenched his fist and swiftly ended their lives. Each of them died in a gruesome manner, with countless wounds all over their bodies. Especially Beileijias, who resisted to the end, his face was so covered in cuts that it obscured his features with blood.

 

“You guys are not worth regretting,” Pei An turned away indifferently, heading to access their databank.

 

Using the password provided by Andiku, Pei An successfully accessed the databank. This time, he didn’t bring a storage device with him, so he had to connect his own smart brain to copy the files from the databank.

 

There was a lot of information stored in the databank, and as Pei An copied the files, he also browsed through them directly. He found a lot of useful information, such as the construction of the Dragon Port base, the entire route of human trafficking, and all the locations where humans were processed, including the already destroyed Jin Feng Yu Lu.

 

Copying would take some time, so Pei An pulled over a chair and sat down to watch.

 

—

 

After the overall situation of the battle was settled, Xie Yu flew down from the Raging Flame and gathered manpower to search for Pei An.

 

Pei An was in danger alone. If he hadn’t needed to oversee the situation and command from his position, he would have rushed out of the Raging Flame long ago to find Pei An.

 

“Commander, these are the coordinates displayed by President Pei’s smart brain.” Xie Yu’s subordinate transmitted the location to Xie Yu.

 

Without hesitation, Xie Yu led the team straight to Pei An’s location.

 

Upon reaching the destination, Xie Yu could immediately tell that this place was the core of the entire area. Countless interstellar pirates had died here during the battle, all to protect this place.

 

Passing through countless corpses, Xie Yu dispersed his men and instructed them to search for Pei An. “Remember, once you find him, you must notify me immediately!”

 

Xie Yu also began his own search.

 

Perhaps it was fate guiding him, Xie Yu headed straight forward, rarely taking a wrong turn based on the general layout of the buildings. He became the first among all to find Pei An.

 

“Pei An!” Xie Yu kicked open the door and immediately locked onto Pei An. He ignored the three bodies lying in a pool of blood and rushed to Pei An’s side. “You scared me to death!”

 

Pei An was bewildered. He looked at Xie Yu’s smart brain. Why wasn’t he contacting him through that?

 

“Why did you rush to find me? Why didn’t you use the smart brain to contact me?” Pei An was puzzled.

 

Xie Yu’s face froze for a moment. Indeed, he could have directly contacted Pei An through the smart brain and had Pei An guide him. Why didn’t he think of that?

 

“Did you forget?” Pei An’s tense mind relaxed as he gave Xie Yu a helpless smile. “I understand, concern leads to confusion.”

 

Xie Yu covered his face, trying to forget his foolish behavior.

 

“Xie Yu, you came at the right time.” With the progress bar still running, Pei An got up and took Xie Yu to the gruesome scene where the three interstellar pirates lay dead.

 

“When we were on the aircraft, I told you that after today, you would get to know me again.” Pei An pointed to the three bodies on the ground. “They are the ones I killed. Was it very cruel?”

 

Xie Yu hooked his arm around Pei An’s and said seriously, “Pei An, you killed interstellar pirates. They were notorious for their crimes, so you are not cruel.”

 

Pei An could tell that Xie Yu genuinely meant what he said.

 

“Xie Yu, I have another secret that no one knows. When we return to the Raging Flame, I will tell you this secret.” Pei An caressed Xie Yu’s hands one by one. “If you can still accept me after hearing my secret, then we can be together.”

 

Xie Yu’s brain suddenly froze. The handsome commander now looked a bit like a big dog, smiling.

 

Pei An reminded him, “Xie Yu, don’t be too happy too soon. Remember, I said if you can still accept me after hearing my secret, then we can be together.”

 

“You haven’t heard my secret yet,” Pei An said, and walked toward the databank. The data copying was complete, and they could return to the Raging Flame.

 

“Xie Yu, I’ve never liked hearing sweet words, so please show me with your actions,” Pei An thought to himself. With Xie Yu’s emotional intelligence, he probably wouldn’t be able to come up with any sweet words anyway.

 

Xie Yu was full of enthusiasm. “I’ll prove it to you!”

 

There was no need for them to clean up the battlefield themselves. Pei An told Xie Yu the intelligence he had extracted from the interstellar pirates, and Xie Yu would arrange for the necessary actions.

 

But the team needed to stay at the Dragon Port base for a while. The hundreds of laborers they had rescued were all weak, lacking basic nutrition. Doctors and nurses were conducting examinations on them one by one, administering glucose drips, and then gathering their basic information.

 

In addition to the glucose drips, Xie Yu ordered meals for the laborers. They drank nutritional supplements, while the canned food and dehydrated vegetables they had confiscated from the battlefield were distributed among them.

 

The main fleet couldn’t stay at the Dragon Port, not even the smallest-tonnage ships. So, Pei An flew back to the Raging Flame in a fighter jet, leaving the fighter jet Xie Yu had brought out to be arranged by the subordinates. He and Pei An sat together in a fighter jet and returned to the Raging Flame.

 

Pei An couldn’t stand the smell on himself anymore. After returning to the Raging Flame, he threw his smart brain into Xie Yu’s hands. “I copied some data from the interstellar pirates’ databank. You can copy it yourself. I’m going to take a shower.”

 

As the door closed, Xie Yu rubbed his nose and took Pei An’s smart brain back to his own room next door.

 

Today, spending so much time with those three interstellar pirates in the same space made him extremely uncomfortable, so he immediately turned on the shower.

 

The feeling of hot water hitting his body diluted his discomfort, and while he was showering, he organized his thoughts on how to talk to Xie Yu.

 

In this world, besides the deceased Pei Ruyu, no one else knew that he wasn’t the original Pei An. The idea of resurrection was always shocking to hear.

 

After showering, Pei An changed into his usual shirt and pants. His hair was still dripping, so he draped a towel around his neck.

 

He had given his smart brain to Xie Yu, so he couldn’t contact Xie Yu through it. Instead, he knocked on the door of the neighboring room.

 

Xie Yu seemed to be squatting at the door. Before the doorbell finished ringing, the door was already open. Xie Yu stood at the door, looking awkward, making it hard to believe he hadn’t moved from there.

 

“You, you’re here,” Xie Yu, who was always calm and composed on the battlefield, appeared nervous at this critical moment.

 

“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Pei An teased intentionally.

 

Xie Yu hastily invited Pei An into the room. His room was always tidy and didn’t need any tidying up, but there was no second chair.

 

“The chair is a bit hard. Why don’t you sit on the bed?” Xie Yu fidgeted with his pants.

 

Pei An wasn’t picky. His room was slightly different in layout from Xie Yu’s, but otherwise identical, so he didn’t feel uncomfortable.

 

The one who seemed uncomfortable was Xie Yu, who was nervously on edge.

 

“Xie Yu,” Pei An leaned on the edge of the bed, looking up at him, “Have you seen how those interstellar pirates died today? Do you know how I did it?”

 

Xie Yu indeed didn’t know. Not only the leader of the three interstellar pirates, but also others outside, died in the same manner, without any gunshot or knife wounds, but with wounds caused by their own flesh splitting open.

 

“They were killed by my psychic power,” Pei An said, releasing his psychic power slowly. Under Pei An’s control, the psychic power condensed into a visible form.

 

“Xie Yu, my psychic power is different from yours because it’s my superpower,” Pei An hardened his heart and lowered his head, pouring out his secret in one breath.

 

He said, “I’m not originally from this world. I come from another world where I awakened psychic power as my superpower. After coming to this world, my soul entered this body. It’s a resurrection. Xie Yu, do you understand?”

 

This couldn’t be explained by science. Would you think I’m a monster?

 

Xie Yu opened his mouth, his voice hoarse. “Resurrection… So, you died in your own world, right?”

 

Pei An slowly raised his head, his gaze filled with nostalgia for his homeland. “Yes, I died. The original owner of this body also died. After I died, I came here, but I don’t know where he went after he died.”

 

Xie Yu squatted down so that he was shorter than Pei An, forcing him to look up at Pei An.

 

“Why did you die? Was it painful when you died?”

 

Pei An was stunned. He said, “In my world, there was an unprecedented outbreak of a biological virus. Those infected by the virus would turn into zombies. When I died…”

 

He chuckled, not taking it seriously. “When I died, I was fighting zombies. I couldn’t win, so I detonated myself. Actually, it wasn’t painful. I closed my eyes and opened them again without even having time to react, and I was reborn.” 

 

Xie Yu held both of Pei An’s hands. Pei An’s hands were smaller than his, but he could still hold them.

 

Pei An’s words were lies. How could it not be painful when he detonated himself?

 

Pei An slowly bent down, pressing his forehead against Xie Yu’s. “Xie Yu, I’ve been reborn, carrying terrifying superpowers. Can you truly accept that?”

 

“Why wouldn’t I?” Xie Yu said. “Pei An, to me, you’re just the Pei An I love. What does it matter whether you’re from this world or not? In mythological stories, gods and mortals fall in love. Why can’t we be together?”

 

Pei An was momentarily stunned, then smiled. “You’re right.”

 

“So, are we confirming our relationship now?” Xie Yu asked.

 

Pei An lifted his forehead from Xie Yu’s and looked into his eyes. “Xie Yu, in my past life, all my relatives died. Each one of them passed before my eyes. After I was reborn, my father couldn’t accompany me for long. I have no family. Will you be my family?”

 

“I will,” Xie Yu earnestly raised his hand and formed three fingers, “Xie Yu swears that from now on, he is Pei An’s family. We’ll be together in this life, and you won’t be alone.”

 

The corner of Pei An’s lips curled up slowly. In Xie Yu’s warm gaze, Pei An wrapped his arms around Xie Yu’s neck and nestled into him.

 

With his chin resting on Xie Yu’s shoulder, their proximity was very intimate, especially considering they had just confessed their feelings. Xie Yu’s pheromones were released more freely, and Pei An couldn’t help but be affected by them.

 

“Xie Yu… Xie Yu…” Pei An murmured Xie Yu’s name, contentedly inhaling his scent.

 

Xie Yu’s hands passed under Pei An’s armpits, surprisingly lifting him up while still in a squatting position.

 

Pei An looked at Xie Yu in surprise, his eyes filled with playful teasing. “Commander Xie, you have such good physical fitness?”

 

After Xie Yu stood up, Pei An subconsciously hooked his legs around Xie Yu’s waist. Although he subconsciously felt that Xie Yu wouldn’t drop him, he still did it.

 

This inadvertently made them look even more intimate, although they were already deeply connected.

 

“Pei An, can I kiss you?” Xie Yu asked.

 

Pei An leaned down and kissed Xie Yu’s lips before he could respond. It was his first time kissing someone, and being a novice in love, he didn’t know the proper technique. He just planted the kiss and managed to make Xie Yu laugh.

 

Xie Yu held him and placed him on the table, changing the height difference between them again.

 

It was a perfect height difference for kissing.

 

Xie Yu’s fingers pinched Pei An’s chin, initiating the kiss. He immediately delved into Pei An’s lips and tongue.

 

Pei An gripped Xie Yu’s shirt tightly, his heart pounding like a drum. The chilly and crisp atmosphere unreasonably stirred up the scent of plum blossoms, permeating the air.

 

As a natural-born alpha, Xie Yu had received orthodox physiology lessons at school and had watched films with his dormitory mates, so he was just pure-hearted in character. If things really escalated, Pei An wouldn’t be able to keep up with him.

 

Of course, Pei An wasn’t one to compete in such matters.
