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

......

Gao Xing recalled their less-than-smooth past.

Actually, his relationship with Qi Wan wasn't as dramatic and passionate as everyone thought.

It's pretty cliché, and a little disgraceful.

Gao Xing had terrible parents when she was young.

A mother who's obsessed with love and eloped with a blond guy, and a father who gambles and commits domestic violence.

He was born at home by his mother and was an unregistered person from a young age. He was locked at home and never registered, never went to the hospital, and never left the house.

Fortunately, it didn't die young and grew to the age of five, and then it was fortunate enough to undergo differentiation.

If he could differentiate into an alpha, perhaps his future would be different.

As a result, he differentiated into an omega.

Because he was an unregistered resident, he was not recorded in the household registration file, and the omega foster care center was unaware of his existence.

Do you know how valuable an unmarked omega was on the black market back then?

Whether it was lucky or unlucky, he was bought by the Apocalypse Organization at the time.

The Apocalypse Organization is that organization of mad scientists who conduct human experiments.

His good fortune was that he wouldn't be bought by bad people to do bad things, but his misfortune was that after being bought by the Apocalypse Organization, he became their test subject for human experimentation.

The Apocalypse Organization brought back many children; the other children were little alphas and little betas, but he was the only little omega.

He spent two years in the Apocalypse Organization.

He has witnessed the deaths of many children in the past two years.

Small betas are the first to die; almost none of them survive more than a week.

As the only little omega, his genetic expression was much more stable than that of the little alphas. The Apocalypse Organization had high hopes for him and provided him with better medical care.

During a private medical examination, he took advantage of the doctors' and nurses' inattention to quietly bend the cage bars and escape from the medical room.

He couldn't outrun the Apocalypse Organization's pursuit on foot alone.

Fortunately, he was extremely thin at the time.

He crawled into the chassis of a public transport hovercar and was taken all the way to the airport. Then he sneaked into a pet transport carrier, hid under the belly of a large dog, and followed the dog to Satellite 78.

He was seven years old at the time, but he wasn't even as big as a typical four-year-old.

He still remembered that the big dog was an Alaskan Malamute with long, thick fur, like a small mountain. It used its long fur to keep him warm, treated him like a little puppy, and even licked his fur.

That was almost the greatest kindness he had ever received since he was born.

After the plane landed, he quietly slipped out again before his owner came to pick up the big dog.

Satellite 78 is a satellite with no special features, a very slow pace of life, no tall buildings, and residents living in small villas with yards. It is a small satellite with very few people.

Residents would lay planting soil in the flowerbeds and plant some ornamental plants and vegetables, as well as breed insects, birds and mice.

He lived on those things for a while.

Autumn on Satellite 78 wasn't particularly cold. If you were tired or sleepy, you could find some leaves and dry grass, curl up in a corner or bush, and survive.

But as time went on, he began to have relapses.

The substance that the Apocalypse Organization injected into him has been in his body ever since.

Power is constantly increasing, while genes are constantly collapsing.

He knew that on satellite number 78, in the neighborhood where he was hiding, there was a doctor living.

But he was very afraid. He was afraid of all adults in white coats. He knew that buying things or seeing a doctor outside required money, and he had no money.

One day, during a heavy rain, he was so cold that he huddled on the steps under the eaves of the doctor's house, where they found him.

The doctor and his wife have a four-year-old daughter named Qinqin.

Qinqin asked the doctor, "Daddy, who is he?"

The doctor said, "He's probably a homeless orphan."

In those days, technology was more backward, and dealing with the lower-level Zerg relied purely on human lives. Zerg swarms would frequently raid the Human Federation, leaving many orphans who were beyond the government's control.

Qinqin then asked the doctor, "Should we have him stay at our house?"

The doctor said, "If you can help, then please do so."

And so he was taken in by the Qin family.

Qinqin's parents didn't know his exact age, but since he seemed to be about the same age as Qinqin, they registered him as having the same age as Qinqin.

Qinqin's parents have been reporting to the administrative departments that they have found an orphan, but no one cares.

At that time, there was no policy for centralized care of orphans in military regions, and all public and private orphanages were overcrowded, with no one willing to take them in.

The meaning is clear: either you keep it, or you abandon it again.

How can we just throw him away?

After discussing it, Qin's parents obtained Qin's consent and decided to adopt Gao Xing.

Considering that Gao Xing might still remember his biological parents and didn't want to forget them, they helped Gao Xing apply for a separate household registration.

—It was this kindness that later saved Qinqin.

Gao Xing's name was chosen by himself.

When he used to sleep on the streets, he would see the bright stars in the sky at night and feel envious. He also wanted to be a bright star hanging high in the sky.

Then he grew up in Qinqin's house.

Life at Qinqin's house is so wonderful, it's like a dream. Qinqin's parents and Qinqin all treat him very well.

He endured the pain and lived in Qinqin's home for a year.

He originally came to see a doctor, but now he doesn't dare tell Qin's parents that he is sick.

He had heard from others that sick children might be abandoned.

Then, when Qinqin was five years old, she differentiated into an omega and was taken away by an omega care center.

His rapidly growing physique was too powerful, and his body couldn't withstand it. Various systems were about to collapse, causing him to fall ill.

After testing, his alpha blood showed an abnormal increase, and he was diagnosed as an alpha child suffering from a rare disease.

Then the news on TV reported that the Apocalypse Organization's illegal human experiments had been busted and shut down. Only then did Qin's parents realize that he didn't have a rare disease; he was just a small test subject who had been subjected to human experiments.

Qin's parents suffered two major blows within a year, but they were not defeated by the pain and worked hard to develop medicine to raise him.

Seven years old, eight years old... eleven years old, twelve years old, thirteen years old, fourteen years old...

At sixteen, he was admitted to a higher college. He ranked first.

Qin's parents and Qin Qin all praised him, saying, "He's amazing!"

"Stars are the most amazing people in the world!"

Qinqin can only go home once every three months, and every time he goes home, he holds his textbooks and reads them with great reluctance.

Gao Xing knew that Qin Qin was much smarter than him, but because she was an omega, she could only attend the Bride Academy and could not learn these kinds of knowledge.

How miserable those times were.

Gao Xing's grades are also very good. If he continues to study at that level, he will definitely be successful after graduating from the higher education institution. He might even be able to bring Qin Qin back from the omega breeding center.

Then their family can be reunited.

But the following year, when they were seventeen, new devastating news struck them; this time, it felt like the sky had fallen.

During an outbreak of infectious disease on satellite number 78, Qin's parents participated in the fight against the epidemic, were both infected, and unfortunately passed away.

Qinqin and Gaoxing became orphans just like that.

But thankfully, at least they can still depend on each other for survival.

But when Qinqin was finally able to go home, she was pale.

Gao Xing asked her what was wrong, and Qin Qin said that the staff at the omega care center had started arranging blind dates for her. Starting at the age of eighteen, omegas would stop studying and go on blind dates every day until they got married.

If you haven't chosen an alpha by the age of 25, you'll face forced matching.

Qinqin said, "I feel like I've become a beast."

Qinqin stayed at home for a day and then went back. Her hard-earned day of freedom was unusual; she neither studied nor played, but instead quietly lay on the bed where her parents had slept all day.

When she sleeps there, will she feel that her parents are still beside her, gently patting her back?

Just like that cold, rainy day years ago, Gao Xing sat on the steps under the eaves of Qin Qin's house all night.

The next day, he dropped out of the college and joined the army.
