Ch58.2 - Return My Cultivated Land (Part Two)

Editor: malaysian_asian

“Ah…” 

Cui Ting was the first to wake up. She found herself lying on the cold floor. The others were lying on their backs. Looking at the internal furnishings, she judged that this should be the space station. There were three robots walking around aimlessly. Because there were too many obstacles on the ground, they made anxious sounds from time to time.

Cui QiChao disappeared from her view. Cui Hu sat on the side, and Cui Ting didn’t know what he was fiddling with.

“Bro, Brother Hu…” Cui Ting shouted weakly.

“Are you awake?” Cui Hu put down the freshly mixed food for the fishes. “You woke up just in time. I need a helper to feed the fish together.” 

Cui Ting was stunned for two seconds, then gathered her spirit and whispered, “What exactly happened here, what’s the situation here, where did the K921 come from, were you kidnapped?”

“Only me, you and the others were kidnapped.” Cui Hu replied numbly.

“?” Cui Ting tilted her head in confusion, “What about Cui QiChao…wait, is an alpha he came to know on this unmanned planet helping him vent out his frustrations on us!”

In an instant, Cui Ting has finished imagining 10 episodes of drama on what she thought had happened here. A leader of a large armed organization who accidentally found Cui QiChao on the space station rescued him. They sniffed each other’s pheromones and developed feelings for each other. They made a promise to each other secretly that they will be together and so on.

Cui Hu was in a complicated mood and said: “…Are you stupid? Cui QiChao is the one who kidnapped us.”

To be honest, he could slightly relate to the feelings his little cousin was experiencing occasionally. He used to have such an impure mindset when he thought about A and O matters—however, it was clear that Cui QiChao was the one who bombed them right in front of their faces. There were only two people and a cat in the whole space station, but they would still rather believe that there is another person here.

Cui Ting: “…”

She laughed incredulously, “What…” 

She didn’t understand what Brother Hu said. As she was speaking, she kicked Cui XiaoJiang. Cui XiaoJiang also woke up in a muddle. The electric shock made his heartbeat feel disorderly, his limbs felt slightly paralyzed, and he didn’t know whether his nervous system was seriously damaged or not.

Cui XiaoJiang looked around and woke the others up. But before everyone was fully awake, Cui Hu began to explain.

They listened to Cui Hu blankly. They didn’t know whether Cui Hu was dreaming, or whether they were the ones dreaming. 

Cui QiChao came out from one of the rooms with two portions of food in his hand. Without looking at the people outside, he put the food on the table.

Cui Hu immediately jumped over, “Oh, oh, there’s sorghum porridge today.”

The last time they screened the seeds, there were some sorghum seeds left. Cui QiChao cooked it with the same method as to how he cooked rice. He boiled the sorghum into porridge. The portion they had was enough for a meal for the two of them. In addition to the small amount of sorghum rice, there were also some edible plants on the unmanned planet. It was regarded as wild vegetables, and it had a slight natural sweetness. A layer of fluff on the leaves made it taste a little strange.

The types of food they could eat here was always the same and a lot of work to be done every day. Therefore, seeing a new type of food, Cui Hu felt very pleasant. The depression he experienced dissipated, “It’s very fragrant, very fragrant.” 

After stewing it for a long time, the unique scent of the sorghum rice was completely released. The rice grains were soft and mushy but still retained their chewiness. Even if no sugar was added to the porridge, they could still taste a hint of sweetness. Eating the heated meal warmed his stomach.

Brother Hu??

Everyone was sweating as they saw Cui Hu holding the bowl of porridge. They were staring greedily at it. No one knew what kind of hard lives Cui Hu had led previously.

Cui XiaoJiang could barely control his paralyzed muscles as he got up from the ground. “Little cousin, I’m sorry…but we are all family. There may be some misunderstanding. We accidentally damaged your vegetables, and Brother Hu already scared us to death. He said that you were the one who personally altered the K921, and I almost believed it. What exactly…” 

Before he finished speaking, another current spread from his neck. Cui XiaoJiang swayed and fell to the ground. This time, the electric current was smaller. He didn’t faint, but he couldn’t move to where Cui QiChao was again.

Cui QiChao gave him a cold look and said without emotion, “If you have any issues with me, wait until you repay the loss I suffered.”

Everyone was stunned. Cui Ting and Cui XiaoJiang were both alphas and the rest were betas. They had not seen any omegas that acted like Cui QiChao. With a mere look, Cui QiChao made them tremble.

Moreover, is this a tacit acceptance of what Cui Hu said? 

There’s also another important question. It’s time for them to have a meal. Do they have no food??

.

It took Cui Ting three days to accept that everything Cui Hu said was true. Cui QiChao relied on his own efforts, built a weapon system by scavenging and planted dozens of mu of land in this place.

The K921 and Cui Hu’s aircraft that was modified by hacking and encryption were all supporting evidence. There really was no large-scale armed organization, and all weapons of destruction were personally produced by Cui QiChao. 

In other words, the calculation of where the antimatter gun targeted was also done by Cui QiChao. This was an omega who was a hidden genius, forced to marry someone by his family.

Shock, disbelief, fear, and other emotions intermingled together within them. Everyone experienced a great impact from this incident.

They felt their hairs stand on ends when they learnt the truth. This person was a peculiar entity among omegas that had unique talent. He was coerced by his family and locked up in an unmanned planet. In their opinions, this was the beginning of how one would embark on their revenge journey. They felt fortunate just to be able to keep their lives.

And this is not all. The most important thing is that this omega attached great importance to his… field. 

The first few “meals” they had these days consisted of clean water because Cui QiChao was still angry. He never prepared their share when cooking. Later, Cui Hu was allowed to scald some lettuce and feed them.

Moreover, they also have to work under the leadership of Cui Hu.

No one knew what Brother Hu had experienced here. He skilfully led them to patrol the pond, collect garbage and pass through the K921 bullets hidden in the garbage. All this made them feel like they were walking on the edge of life and death to grow vegetables.

Several betas were made to tidy up the destroyed lettuce field, pull out all the rotten lettuce, and try to remedy the lettuce by salvaging the ones that were still alive. They would have to put away the intact leaves and save them for food, and the rest for feed or fertilizer. 

When it came to fertilizer, the two alphas were arranged to mix it. They had never done this kind of work before in their lives. In the beginning, when they smelled the scent, they fainted.

After all, in this age, no one used organic fertilizer. In their minds, there was no such existence. After arriving on this planet, they had a practical lesson on fertilizers.

In addition, they also needed to repair the ridges, pull weeds, pick up garbage, make and dilute fertilizer, transport items and so on.

And while an alpha’s physical strength was usually the best out of the three genders, even Cui Ting and Cui XiaoJiang became so tired that they felt like they were about to black out. 

Cui QiChao felt that the scene outside the window looked very familiar. This situation reminded him of Northumberland. Cui Ting and the others were like the serfs. Cui Hu, who guided everyone on everything and who would sometimes resent the others for failing to meet expectations, was like the village head or a senior who has graduated from the basic class of agricultural techniques.

Furthermore, it came as a surprise to him when he heard the others constantly complaining about the “devil” even after he returned from the middle ages virtual plane. These interstellar serfs pointed out that his enslavement of everyone was no different from what the devil does.

Cui QiChao readily accepted what they called him. If calling him the devil could allow him to resuscitate his lettuce, he would accept being the king of devils. If these people destroy his cultivated land, they have to pay the price.

“…Brother Hu, did you spend your days here doing all these?” Cui XiaoJiang gloomily asked. His hands had grown blisters due to making the fertilizer, and his nose seemed to be stained with the scent of it. 

He was terrified. Would anyone die from mixing fertilizer in the interstellar age?

“My life is slightly better. At least I can have my fill.” He was unlike these people who made a mistake and basically only ate salvaged lettuce leaves. Their pangs of hunger were barely satiated.

Cui XiaoJiang: “Why do I think that you feel slightly proud of it.”

Cui Hu: “…” 

After having his emotions suppressed for a long time, it is inevitable that Cui Hu will have a few psychological problems.

Cui Ting also had blisters on her feet. She said sadly, “He had the whole assortment of weapons, even K921. I think we won’t be able to return. Sigh, is there a worse job in the world than mixing fertilizer?”

“Yes,” Cui Hu said after a moment of silence, “Imagine that you have to mix fertilizer with omega pheromones floating in the air during your rut, in the absence of inhibitors.”

Cui Ting: “???” 

Cui Hu looked at the sky and said, “I took a bunch of inhibitors here but I ran out of them previously. Your aircraft was bombarded by the antimatter missile and you didn’t carry inhibitors with you. When your rut arrives, you will experience the true feeling of ‘living is worse than dying’.”

Everyone’s faces turned white, but for the betas, their expressions were normal. They wouldn’t be troubled by pheromones.

Cui Ting and Cui XiaoJiang stiffened.

Cui Ting clenched her teeth and said, “Not necessarily. Just in case, maybe…Cousin QiChao and I would get involved during that period. After all, if an O was also dragged into estrus by an A, nothing could be stopped. Although it’s not very ethical, we may not need to mix fertilizers again. K921 also would no longer be a threat!” 

Cui XiaoJiang also nodded fiercely, and even whispered: “Listen, he doesn’t have omega inhibitors either. When his special period comes, I doubt he will shut himself in the space station and look at the ‘zombies attacking the city’ outside the space station, right?”

“Hehe.” Cui Hu smiled and looked at his innocent peers, “That’s what I thought back then too…”

But that omega, he’s truly the devil…
