I Found Myself Pregnant After Becoming An Omega 51

 

Chapter 51: Genetics

 

"Xue Zong?"

 

Ji Yu immediately recalled Xie Yu Xing's gaze at the opening ceremony, "Is he related to Xue Zong?"

 

"Their relationship is very close."

 

Ji Yu glanced sideways: "How do you know?"

 

He Zhou told Ji Yu everything that happened in the mall’s parking basement, as well as Xue Zong’s injuries when he stopped by the He's house.

 

He Zhou spoke as he drove the car, looking straight ahead: "The relationship between the two of them is very special, otherwise Xue Zong would not simply leave with Xie Yu Xing so easily, and..."

 

"And what?"

 

"And Xie Yuxing is an Omega. Although I don't know why he showed the characteristics of a Beta before, but when I visited you in the hospital last time, I found his name in the Omega’s registration list. He is definitely an Omega, there is no doubt about it."

 

"So Xie Yu Xing likes Xue Zong?" Ji Yu was surprised, "But Xue Zong and Ji Heng are already engaged."

 

"So what if Xue Zong is engaged?"

 

Ji Yu curled the corners of his lips: "Ah, right."

 

He Zhou added: "I suspected that Xue Zong originally wanted to overthrow Ji Yuan Sheng, but something went wrong. This should be the reason why Xie Yu Xing seeks you out in a hurry."

 

Shortly after Ji Yu left the mall that day, Xue Zong got injured.

 

The opening of SA mall was a prestigious event, not some dangerous shady place. There was also no news report of any major incident or violence happening in the city that day, so who could have hurt an elite Alpha like Xue Zong to such extent?

 

There was only one.

 

Ji Yuan Sheng.

 

Xue Zong’s injury was very serious, not just some minor scuffles. It looked like he was severely punished.

 

But why did Ji Yuan Sheng punish him?

 

Connecting what Xue Zong said that day, coupled with the news He Zhou saw today, and the information provided by Xie Yu Xing, the context of the matter suddenly became clear.

 

Xue Zong has rebelled against Ji Yuan Sheng.

 

But something must have gone wrong, and Ji Yuan Sheng became aware of the treachery.

 

Otherwise, Xue Zong would not have allowed Xie Yu Xing, who has been hiding for so long and so secured that not even He Zhou could dig up his past, to come out.

 

This was the first time Ji Yu heard about these things, and remained silent for a long time.

 

After thinking about everything carefully, Ji Yu sneered.

 

"Even after a life was lost, it couldn't awaken Xie Yu Xing’s conscience. He cheated one person to death and continued to cheat a second person without any regrets. As a result, he couldn't wait to jump out when Xue Zong got into trouble. Ha!"

 

Ji Yu pursed his lips and supported his chin with one hand. He looked out the window and exhaled deeply. His heart was as congested as the crowded road in front of him.

 

Thinking back to the time when Xie Yu Xing first spoke about the original Ji Yu, there were indeed many inconsistencies.

 

At first Xie Yu Xing said he didn't know much about Ji Yu's family, but then later on he began harping about how miserable Ji Yu’s family life was.

 

Xie Yu Xing spoke smoothly and eloquently, his tone full of compassion and kindness without a single pause or hesitation.

 

Anyone would be touched by the “poor student” whose “best friend” was so miserable that he committed suicide.

 

Turned out, it was all lies.

 

One lie after another, doesn’t he feel guilty at all?

 

How could Xie Yu Xing remain so calm when he looked at the face of the “best friend” that trusted him the most?

 

"Are you okay?" He Zhou glanced at Ji Yu.

 

Ji Yu snorted coldly: "Why wouldn’t I be okay?"

 

"Ji Yuan Sheng is not my father, Xie Yu Xing is not my friend, I was never bullied in school or online, and I was not the one who got experimented on. Why should I care about any of these?"

 

The true victim is long gone.

 

Ji Yu waved his hands irritably: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

 

"It was my fault for not beating him up before leaving. I will make it up to him next time I see him." He frowned and looked down at the photo in his hand, "Continue looking at this."

 

The most important thing now is Little Yu Zhou.

 

Rather than condemning Xie Yu Xing, what Ji Yu needed to focus on now is the changes to Little Yu Zhou and the experiments that Ji Yuan Sheng conducted on his own son.

 

The photos in Ji Yu’s hands are hideous and terrifying, and every frame is full of visual impact.

 

Yesterday, when he and He Zhou were discussing the child’s tail, they also mentioned the phenomenon of atavism. At that time, they merely laughed it off, saying that no matter how much humans mutates, they can never become mythical creatures.

 

But now, the photos in his hands really challenged his view of reality.

 

It turns out that people really can grow cat claws, lion tails, and even snake tongues from their mouths.

 

So what animal is Little Yu Zhou changing into?

 

After returning to the He Mansion, Ji Yu carried Little Yu Zhou upstairs to sleep.

 

After settling down the child, he couldn't wait to sit in front of the computer with He Zhou.

 

In a flash, the USB was inserted, revealing a single folder.

 

There was no password, and as it opened, several rows of pictures, video and audio files appeared on the screen.

 

Ji Yu’s heart gradually grows heavy, and the hand on the mouse pressed down hard.

 

Looking at the thumbnail, He Zhou concluded: "It seemed they were all secretly recorded."

 

Ji Yu: “Yeah.”

 

He clicked on the first picture and quickly noticed something.

 

The pictures that Xie Yu Xing had handed to him were all taken in open spaces, with men and women in wild poses.

 

Meanwhile, the picture in the USB was obviously taken indoors. Due to their secretive nature, they all had strange and awkward angles, with the subject not very clear.

 

“Is this their research lab?”

 

He Zhou: "Looks like it."

 

Clicking on the next photo, it appears to be a report of some sort. The majority of the words were blurry, and only the title in large font can be made out.

 

[DNA relations between Alpha embryos and carnivore embryos.]

 

Next picture—

 

[Comparative Report on the Neurogenesis from Stem Cells of wild beasts and Omega Stem Cells.]

[Study on the Differentiation of Renal Epithelial Cells in Herbivores.]

 

…

 

Reports on both humans and animals come one after another.

 

In addition to the research reports, there were some videos.

 

A young boy with animal fangs banging on the isolation door with all his might, a girl with green stripes on her skin huddled in a corner in despair, and even a pregnant woman with her hands folded in prayer.

 

This is not a laboratory, it's a living hell on earth!

 

Except for the researchers in protective suits, there is no “normal people” in the photos. Every single subject had mutations on their faces and bodies.

 

As Ji Yu continue clicking on, the photos become bloodier and more horrifying and can only be described as absolutely insane.

 

"What a fucking beast!"

 

Ji Yu slapped the table, and his palm turned red instantly.

 

He Zhou's expression was also very ugly. He lowered his voice and said, "There’s still one thing left."

 

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and put his hand over Ji Yu's hand on the mouse, and lightly dragged it directly to the bottom of the page.

 

The very last thing on the page was another folder.

 

Inside was a collection of materials titled [Reports on Ji Yu and Yu Zhou]

 

"See?" He Zhou asked.

 

Ji Yu: "Hmm".

 

Suddenly, he reached out and touched his neck, then looked up at the air conditioner in confusion: "Uh? It's on."

 

"What's wrong?"

 

"I feel a bit hot."

 

Ji Yu took a napkin, wiped his sweats, and said nonchalantly, "Maybe I'm getting too worked up."

 

The two continued to look at the screen.

 

The contents of the last folder are much richer.

 

It contains all the physical examination reports of Ji Yu and Little Yu Zhou in the past, as well as the blood sample analysis after Little Yu Zhou suffered from pheromone hunger a few weeks ago.

 

There are even information pertaining to Ji Yu's physiological conditions after removing the mark.

 

"Ji Yuan Sheng has always been keeping an eye on the original Ji Yu."

 

"Yes."

 

"But when Ji Yu was too poor to afford pheromone inhibitor, Ji Yuan Sheng didn't offer any help. Not only did he not help, but he actually let his son walked into the shady bar during estrus and be targeted by a bunch of scums. Do you think..."

 

Ji Yu pursed his lips, hesitant to speak.

 

He Zhou lowered his eyes and looked at the person next to him.

 

After a paused, Ji Yu finally found the right words, "Do you think Ji Yuan Sheng wanted Ji Yu to get pregnant?"

 

"When I came back to the Ji family, Ji Yuan Sheng clearly paid much more attention to Little Yu Zhou than me." Ji Yu spread out his hands towards He Zhou, "There is nothing unusual about me, I don’t have any tails or fangs. So, I might be... a failed product."

 

A failed product does not need to receive any attention.

 

However, the children born from failed products are not necessarily without research value.

 

Sure enough, the results shown in the reports coincided with what Ji Yu had thought.

 

The original Ji Yu received the first experimental injection when he was nine years old. Apart from a fever that lasted an entire week, there was no abnormality. One year later, when he was ten years old, Ji Yu received a second injection, but still no changes occurred.

 

For the rest of his adolescent, Ji Yu’s body had grown relatively normal. It wasn’t until when he reached the age of eighteen and entering estrus, that the hormones and pheromones in his body increased abnormally. After giving birth to Little Yu Zhou, however, they gradually returned back to normal levels.

 

Apart from being born prematurely, there were no abnormalities in other tests performed on Little Yu Zhou.

 

Then what was the reason as to why Ji Yuan Sheng suddenly became so interested in the Little Yu Zhou?

 

They soon got the answer.

 

It was the blood sample taken when Little Yu Zhou was suffering from pheromone hunger. After one week of thoroughly analysis, the results were astonishing.

 

"These values ​​are all maxed out, what does that mean?"

 

“It means there’s a lot of potential.”

 

He Zhou pointed to the profile of another Alpha child and said, "Little Yu Zhou will be at least ten times stronger than him in the future."

 

Ji Yu couldn't understand the messy data, so he urged He Zhou to click the next page: "Let’s look at more results."

 

The following are comparison photos. On the left is Little Yu Zhou, and on the right are pictures of various ferocious beasts, followed by a series of analysis.

 

Most of the beast pictures had a big red "X" drawn across them, clearly not a match.

 

It wasn’t until the two of people flipped through more than a dozen pictures, that they saw one with a green circle.

 

However, what appears in this picture is no longer a ferocious beast, but an ancient mythical beast—

 

Dragon.

 

"No way, Yu Zhou’s tail is actually a dragon's?"

 

Ji Yu was stunned. He stood there for a good second before whipping his head around and looked at the sleeping child on the bed. The silver-white tail slipped out from under the quilt, swaying back and forth.

 

"It really does look like a dragon's tail, but that is just too fantasy-like..."

 

He Zhou did not respond.

 

His eyes were heavy, and his gaze was still focused on the computer.

 

The one question he wanted to know most had not yet been answered.

 

That is—

 

Is Little Yu Zhou his child?

 

Seeing He Zhou flipping through the files, Ji Yu couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for?"

 

He Zhou suddenly stopped and said, "This is about you."

 

"Huh?"

 

Ji Yu looked up and saw his photo placed next to a picture of a rabbit with a green circle across it.

 

"…I'm a rabbit? And my body just doesn't show it?"

 

He Zhou nodded: "According to this information, people who are injected with the experimental drug will mutate into animals based on their gender."

 

"Alphas will become large and predatory carnivores. Betas will become either small carnivores or large herbivores. As for Omegas, they can only turn into small herbivores."

 

He Zhou operated the mouse with one hand and pointed at the screen with the other.

 

"These reports show that aside from the change in appearance, the experimental drug can cause psychological mutations – that is, their behavior and thinking became closer to the corresponding animals: fighting for territory, fighting for females, fighting for status, and the primitive mindset of the strong preying on the weak."

 

Ji Yu suppressed his surprise and pointed a finger at himself, "So the fact that Little Yu Zhou was born at five months old is a problem with my body? If I remember correctly, rabbits have a short gestation period, only about five months. Is that why Little Yu Zhou was born prematurely?"

 

"Very likely."

 

Ji Yu thought for a moment, "No wonder, between a dragon and a rabbit, of course Ji Yuan Sheng would be interested in the dragon more."

 

"But this research is also unbelievable. It is theorized that humans evolved from animals, but this research is dedicated to making people regress to animal forms. This is not a simple case of atavism, but directly returning to ancient times."

 

In Ji Yu’s opinion, this is not the first time that humanity has “regressed.”

 

The differentiation of secondary genders could be considered as a huge degeneration of the human race.

 

In the old society, although there were strict class divisions, there was also relative fairness. People's future was not fixed, and they could change their destiny through their own strength. The lower classes could claw their way up from the mud, and the upper classes could fall down into obscurity.

 

Unfortunately, the emergence of ABO dealt a heavy blow to the people who had finally managed to escape from their lowly origin.

 

The class system may be based on abilities and bloodlines, but, in short, those things are still within the control of humans. However, the new classes are determined purely by secondary gender, that is, by the will heaven, and is not something that any human can manage.

 

As for Ji Yuan Sheng's research...

 

"He's crazy." He Zhou summed it up in two words.

 

In fact, whether Ji Yuan Sheng was crazy or not was not something they can handle alone.

 

His research was so horrifying that even if Xie Yu Xing didn’t blow the whistle, the government would be alarmed sooner or later.

 

No, the government should have already been alarmed.

 

He Zhou thought about today's online news and the urgent military task his father suddenly received.

 

Xie Yu Xing’s goal of handing the evidence to Ji Yu was only to speed up Ji Yuan Sheng's arrest.

 

Ji Yu looked at the pictures that kept flashing in front of him. He Zhou didn't even read more than the first two lines of title before jumping to the next report. Ji Yu couldn't help asking again: "What are you looking for so anxiously?"

 

He Zhou: "I saw a pregnant woman in one of the previous pictures."

 

Ji Yu blinked in confusion: "So?"

 

He Zhou: "I want to know whether the genes of a child born to a mutant will also mutate, and be changed enough to... be completely different from their father."

 

Ji Yu immediately understood.

 

Now that things have come to this, what happened to the original Ji Yu can longer be explain using common sense. Previously, everyone just assumed he tricked He Zhou because he gave birth way too early. But if the original Ji Yu was a rabbit, with a gestation period of only five months…

 

Ji Yu looked at the densely packed reports on the screen, "This is too slow."

 

He immediately took out his cell phone and called Xie Yu Xing directly in front of He Zhou.

 

He Zhou stopped looking at the reports and focused all his attention on the phone in Ji Yu's hand.

 

The call connected, and Ji Yu turned on speakerphone. "Hey."

 

He Zhou pursed his lips, his jawline tense.

 

Xie Yu Xing's voice came from the other side: "Ji Yu..."

 

Ji Yu said bluntly: "I called you for no other reason than to ask you a single question."

 

"Is Little Yu Zhou really He Zhou’s child?"

 

"Yes." On the other end of the phone, another voice obviously not belonging to Xie Yu Xing's answered.

 

Ji Yu was stunned for a moment: "Xue Zong?"

 

The other party did not respond, and simply repeated, "He Zhou is indeed Little Yu Zhou's biological father."
