A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

The orphanage's accommodation area was cordoned off with yellow warning tape, and guards had set up roadblocks.

They carried live-fired military rifles, wore bite-proof masks, and had bottles of pheromone neutralizers tucked into their waistbands.

Standard Omega disciplinary configuration.

When Gao Tian tried to go further in, he was stopped by the guards.

"Hello, this area is currently under martial law. May I ask what brings you here? If not, please come back later."

The Human Federation provides very strict protection for omegas.

Omegas are too few, and the AO binding rate is crucial to the birth rate of alphas, so every omega is vital.

Not a single one can be wasted.

Fortunately, Gao Tian brought his military officer's ID with him today and showed it to the guards.

"Ah, Major General Gao Tian!" The guard quickly saluted.

Gao Tian returned the greeting and then said, "I grew up in this orphanage. Our director and teachers live here. I've come to check things out. May I go in?"

Normally, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter, but a long time has already passed inside, and we don't know what went wrong.

Moreover, Gao Tian is a major general and has a special pass, so they shouldn't have stopped him.

The guard hesitated for a moment, then saluted again: "Yes, Major General Gao Tian, ​​please come in."

The guards made way and let Gao Tian in.

......

Further in, towards the children's sleeping area, we heard crying.

Extremely sharp, extremely tragic.

At the end of the corridor, in front of the dormitory door, a staff member in a white uniform stood there helplessly, with Ω-shaped embroidery on the cuffs.

Staff at the omega parenting center.

"According to the Omega Protection Law, underage Omegas must be under the unified guardianship and care of an omega care center..." The staff member explained frantically to the wailing child, "We're really not bad people. Director Li, this isn't the first time an omega has differentiated at the orphanage. Please help us explain..."

Sobbing could be heard coming from the dormitory.

Gao Tian peered through the gaps in the crowd.

The dean sat on the edge of the wooden bed, holding a small, thin figure in his arms.

The child was only five years old, but he already had a restraint patch on the back of his neck. He clung tightly to the headmistress, his fingers gripping her clothes so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

The dean silently hugged him.

Omega intensive care is mandatory and no one can disobey it.

She always felt particularly sad at times like this.

The child is only 5 years old; he doesn't understand anything.

I don't know what pheromones are, I don't know what omega means, I don't know what unified supervision and maintenance means, and I don't know what kind of future I will have.

He had just completed differentiation and his high fever hadn't subsided yet. All he knew was that he had suffered from a very painful illness, and once he recovered, he would have to leave the orphanage and the teacher who had raised him.

The regulations for intensive omega care are not superfluous.

Newly differentiated omegas definitely need professional care. They're too young and don't know how to control their pheromones, making them vulnerable to attracting bad people. Young omegas are also very fragile; even a common illness could be fatal.

In the era before standardized care, the mortality rate of underage omegas was extremely high.

"Cindy, it's dangerous for you to stay outside right now..." The headmistress hugged him, rubbed his forehead, and whispered.

The staff leader at the Omega Nurturing Center bent down and gently comforted him: "Yes, newly differentiated omegas need professional care. We have A-level nutritionists, a professional security team, and the best accommodations. Your future life will definitely be better than here."

"I won't go! Teacher—" The child looked up and wailed, his face covered in tears.

The tour leader crouched down, softening his voice as much as possible: "Your name is Cindy, right? That's a lovely name. Little Cindy, there's a panoramic playground at the center, and also..."

"There are swings here!" Cindy buried her face in Dean Chen's arms, her voice muffled. "We have the Dean, I don't need those."

The dean's hands were trembling slightly.

She looked up, but the tears in her eyes still flowed down her cheeks.

The team leader tried to take Cindy's hand, but the little boy screamed and hid in the principal's arms. The principal instinctively pulled him into her arms.

The team leader was in a very difficult position: "Dean Li, what do you think...?"

The dean reluctantly let go.

But the child continued to cry and clung tightly to the headmaster and teacher.

The scene froze.

The staff didn't dare to pull him too hard, as the newborn omega's body is very fragile, and the Omega Protection Law also prohibits coercive measures.

Gao Tian pushed his way through the crowd and entered the dormitory.

The staff members were a little nervous and quickly blocked the entrance.

They could tell at a glance that Gao Tian was a high-level alpha. The staff at their omega breeding center were always somewhat paranoid about the appearance of alphas.

Gao Tian showed them his identification.

After seeing his military officer's ID, the staff felt much more at ease: "Major General Gao Tian, ​​may I ask what brings you here...?"

"Gao Tian." The headmaster called out to him from inside, and the children turned around and called out to him, "Brother Gao Tian."

"This is the orphanage where I grew up; all the children here are my younger brothers and sisters," Gao Tian explained to the staff, then asked, "The child is too scared. Could you please step aside for a moment and give us some time to explain things to him?"

The staff member hesitated for a moment, but then noticed his major general rank and, having no other choice, said, "Okay."

The staff at the omega breeding center have been evacuated from the dormitory.

Gao Tian walked in and squatted down in front of the dean.

She poked the blond little head in the dean's arms: "Cindy."

"Brother Gaotian." The little boy, with tears welling up in his eyes, turned back to look at him with a pitiful expression.

Looking at the two of them, the headmistress managed a weak smile and gently patted the child's head with her warm hand.

Gao Tian comforted him, "How about you listen to the dean's explanation?"

With the strangers gone, the child's emotions stabilized. He looked up at the headmistress, and although his eyes were still filled with tears, he hummed in response.

The director told him, "The omega care center is great. You'll eat good food every day, have professional caregivers to take care of you, wear beautiful and comfortable clothes, have a playground, a big house, and many other omegas like you. No one will laugh at you for being weak anymore..."

But the child said, "But I don't want to leave you."

"..." The dean was speechless, and tears immediately streamed down her face.
