ABFA Chapter 8

The roommates of Jiang Yue all have distinct personalities. On the first night at the military academy dormitory, the room was as silent as a grave.

The roommate with red hair kept wearing headphones and playing games, the one with white hair was sound asleep, Jiang Sen with green highlights leaned against the headboard reading a book, and the cool guy with a crew cut sat cross-legged on his bed playing mobile games.

Jiang Yue was in bed number 5, located in the middle, the cool guy was in bed number 4, next to the window, and the stunning alpha who arrived last took bed number 6.

The three beds were tightly pressed together, and Jiang Yue truly found herself surrounded by men on both sides.

Her body slid slowly down the wall, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

At 11 p.m., the military academy dormitory lights were turned off promptly. Since the beds were closely arranged, everyone naturally lay head-to-head and foot-to-foot.

The cool guy by the window preferred to have his head near the window, so Jiang Yue ended up lying head-to-head with the stunning alpha.

Due to Jiang Yue’s extraordinary hearing, in the darkness, she could clearly hear the steady, powerful sound of the alpha’s breath and heartbeat.

This feeling was so peculiar.

She lay flat on the bed, her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling. After a long time, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and before she knew it, she drifted into a peaceful sleep.

At six in the morning, the dormitory was silent, everyone still asleep.

Jiang Yue opened her eyes, and sunlight streamed through the beige curtains. The quiet dormitory was bathed in soft, gentle light, like a serene painting.

Since arriving in this world, Jiang Yue had hardly ever stayed in a room with windows. She quietly sat up, letting out a sigh as she gazed at the curtains.

Suddenly, the cool guy by the window sat up. His blanket slid off his chest, revealing his exceptionally developed pectoral muscles and perfect six-pack abs, catching Jiang Yue off guard.

…

It was… so embarrassing!

Jiang Yue quickly turned her head, her face flushing. Her roommate behind her had also woken up. This particular roommate was more particular about his appearance, dressed in a white pajama set, with only his long, slender, snow-white calf visible.

Jiang Yue quickly collapsed back onto her bed as if she had been burned.

Perhaps the movement of the other roommates waking up had stirred the others as well. Soon, all the alphas were up from their beds.

They wore various colored boxer shorts, revealing the youthful, muscular bodies of the alphas, making one’s pulse race.

Jiang Yue huddled under the blanket, shivering.

Was she staying in a dormitory, or was this some kind of brothel?

The alphas, wearing nothing but their boxer shorts, casually jumped out of bed, swaggering over to the dormitory door and heading to the public bathroom to freshen up.

Jiang Yue felt weak. She fumbled in her blanket, getting dressed with great hesitation, before nervously getting out of bed.

The moment she opened the dormitory door, the sight of those muscular bodies parading down the hallway shattered her fragile spirit.

A shameless talker, but a coward in action.

Among these alphas, Jiang Yue saw many female alphas wearing nothing but a pair of boxers, their well-developed and firm chests starkly exposed to the air.

Jiang Yue felt suffocated.

Because she was dressed too neatly, it made her stand out, and many alphas passing by the restroom would glance at her with curiosity.

Standing by the sink next to her was a muscular male alpha, wearing yellow Shiba Inu-patterned boxer shorts. He flashed a bright smile, showing his white teeth, and asked Jiang Yue to borrow some facial cleanser.

“I was in a rush and forgot to buy this thing, haha!”

Jiang Yue silently handed him the facial cleanser. Just then, another muscular male alpha came over to wash his face. He was wearing a rather flashy pair of blue floral boxer shorts, and a white towel was draped around his neck.

This alpha had forgotten to bring toothpaste and looked at Jiang Yue with puppy-dog eyes, as if trying to be endearing.

“Bro, can I borrow some toothpaste from you?”

Jiang Yue silently handed him the toothpaste.

The toothpaste she was using was peach-flavored, with a pink, transparent paste inside, speckled with small, shimmering, colorful particles. It was sparkling and had a very girly charm.

The alpha with puppy-dog eyes looked at the pink paste on the toothbrush and gave Jiang Yue a rather suggestive look.

Jiang Yue’s heart trembled as she squeezed out the toothpaste and silently brushed her teeth.

After washing up, she returned to the dormitory, where her roommates were still walking around in their boxer shorts, showing no intention of getting dressed. The only exception was Bed No. 6, where the stunning alpha sat neatly on a chair, fully dressed.

On Bed No. 3, Jiang Sen was sitting on a chair, wearing a pair of low-waisted dark green boxer shorts. He had long arms and legs, with a beautiful mermaid line showing, one long leg resting on the ladder. His thigh muscles were firm and well-defined, like the exquisite David sculpture that came to life.

Jiang Yue silently swallowed.

On Bed No. 2, White Hair was wearing silver-lettered low-waisted boxer shorts, his legs stretched across the bed’s railing as he did some stretching exercises.

He had his back to Jiang Yue, and his strong back muscles slowly stretched in the morning light.

On Bed No. 1, Red Hair was wearing a pair of magma-red boxer shorts, lifting dumbbells by the window. A thin layer of sweat covered his body, making his skin look as if it had been smeared with olive oil, smooth yet slightly rough to the touch.

Jiang Yue couldn’t help but admire the flawless, sculpted physique of the buzz-cut cool guy on the bed. He wore a pair of black boxer shorts and was standing in front of the desk, organizing his books.

Jiang Yue, dressed in gray cargo pants and a white T-shirt, sat a bit stiff on a chair, staring at the terminal screen.

The dormitory was still very quiet. Everyone completely ignored each other, deeply immersed in their own worlds.

Maybe this is what it’s like to be an Alpha—everyone is so aloof.

It wouldn’t be so bad if things could stay this peaceful. After all, Jiang Yue was a bit of a recluse with social anxiety and didn’t really enjoy casual conversations with others.

Jiang Yue dressed neatly and headed to the cafeteria.

The military academy’s cafeteria had a serious, metallic vibe. Most of the staff behind the counters were robots, so there was no risk of the dishes being mishandled.

The meals at the military academy were simple, but the portions were especially large.

Jiang Yue drank a big bowl of soup and ate five trays of xiao long bao (soup dumplings).

While in the cafeteria, she ran into Song Yang.

Such bad luck—this huge Federation Military Academy, with so many cafeterias, and yet she had to run into him at the second cafeteria.

Jiang Yue was alone, while Song Yang came in with two other alphas to have a meal.

When he saw Jiang Yue, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. His gaze flickered slightly, and he deliberately walked into the line at the cafeteria counter, blending into the crowd.

Jiang Yue cursed Song Yang’s entire lineage in her mind several times. Feeling frustrated, she returned to her dorm. The dorm was still quiet, with her roommates fully immersed in their own worlds.

Other dormitories were filled with laughter and camaraderie, but their dorm was as quiet as a grave.

It seemed that everyone had trouble communicating. Even Jiang Sen, who appeared elegant and friendly, exuded a sense of detachment.

As for Jiang Yue, she couldn’t even muster the desire to speak.

Was she really supposed to discuss lipstick shades, the breathability of sanitary pads, or which was more comfortable—seamless underwear or cotton underwear—with these Alphas?

It was truly hopeless.

Jiang Yue quietly sat in her chair, reading a book. The book was a physical copy she had borrowed from the library.

In this high-tech society, e-books were more common. Physical books were expensive and rare, with only a few aristocrats who enjoyed the tactile feel of paper books.

The military academy’s library had an extensive collection, and Jiang Yue was someone who loved physical books. She had carried back many books from the library.

The book Jiang Yue was reading was titled “A Brief History of the Federation.” It was thick and heavy, with a hard black cover. Inside, it recorded the development and changes of this society.

The story began with the maturation of space leap technology.

It was too long, so she stopped.

In short, humanity now occupied seven planets. Because humanity was a community with a shared destiny, the seven planets united and even gave themselves a very interesting name—the Seven-Star Federation.

Jiang Yue immediately thought of the seven-spotted ladybug.

A thousand years ago, humanity only had two genders. However, due to the influence of abnormal radiation, human gender changed, evolving into three genders.

The abnormal radiation also caused terrifying mutations to emerge on the planets.

Most of the mutated species were plants or animals, though a small number of humans would also become mutated under special conditions.

Pages 121 onward were all about the war between humans and the mutated species.

It was too long, so she skipped it.

Jiang Yue quickly flipped through the pages, until she reached the section on the Zerg Invasion.

In 3019, the Zerg invaded. In 3119, humans captured the Zerg Queen alive, and the war ended.

At that time, humanity had the upper hand and remained optimistic about the future.

But then, in 3200, the Zerg—those perverts—integrated the genes of mutated species, leading to a full-scale evolution of their kind. Humanity started to find itself at a disadvantage.

The Zerg were a very special life form. They had individual consciousness, but they coexisted with their queen. The queen was the brain of the Zerg swarm, the core of their entire existence.

Even with their strong vitality, if the Zerg didn’t have their queen, their entire species would be like a decapitated corpse. Even though the body could still move after the brain’s death, it wouldn’t last long.

Humans had control of the queen, which meant they controlled the life force of the Zerg. Therefore, the Zerg had always been too afraid to act recklessly, only occasionally sending out mutated species and small Zergs to harass the Federation, venting their anger in the process.

Both sides were cautious, neither daring to take action lightly.

Now it was the year 3211, and no one knew when the war would break out again.

The entire tone of the book was oppressive and boring.

After finishing it, Jiang Yue only remembered the last line—”We must remain vigilant against those unseen enemies.”
