My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 349 - Chapter 349 Chapter 348 Treatment

Chapter 349: Chapter 348: Treatment Chapter 349: Chapter 348: Treatment “Welcome, Generals.”

Chen Yixin led her team forward to exchange pleasantries with Generals Li Tianwen and Lu Anan.

Those surrounding them actually became more reserved when the generals truly stood before them. Even though their expressions showed excitement, no one was loud anymore.

Compared to the two generals, Shao Zifeng was more interested in the Golden Pond Flood Dragon and the Nine-colored Deer.

After Li Tianwen and his party boarded the ship, he let the two mutant creatures play freely in the sea.

The Golden Pond Flood Dragon swam joyfully in the sea, occasionally slapping the surface with its tail fin. Its long body shimmered under the sunlight, extraordinarily conspicuous.

As for the Nine-colored Deer, the halo around its body turned blue, its hooves standing on the water, rippling continuously.

Both of their sizes were enormous–the Golden Pond Flood Dragon was about fifteen meters in length, and the Nine-colored Deer, including its massive antlers, stood over two meters tall.

Seemingly noticing Shao Zifeng’s gaze, they both turned their heads to look at him… or more precisely, at Qiuqiu perched on his shoulder.

Their looks were friendly, seemingly very interested in the little creature.

“Ying!”

Qiuqiu’s body instantly tensed, its little claws gripping Shao Zifeng’s coat tightly, a low growl threateningly emitted from its throat, its golden-red vertical pupils filled with wariness.

“Qiuqiu.”

Shao Zifeng held it in his arms, gently comforting it. The little one seemed to still have some stress reactions to higher-order evolutionary creatures.

The Golden Pond Flood Dragon and the Nine-colored Deer exchanged glances, then turned away their gaze. Qiuqiu gradually relaxed under Shao Zifeng’s soothing.

Taking Qiuqiu’s feelings into account, Shao Zifeng no longer looked at them and turned his gaze towards the two people in the middle of the crowd.

Even when surrounded by the crowd, those two figures remained particularly striking.

Li Tianwen was a tall, middle-aged man with a stern face and chiseled features. Dressed in his crisp military uniform, he had none of the greasiness often associated with middle-aged men but radiated the toughness of a soldier and a keep-out coldness.

Lu Anan, half a step behind him, was different. Though also in military garb, his delicate face always carried a warm smile. His tall figure looked even more dashing set off by the uniform. No wonder he was so popular.

At that moment, there was a slight awkwardness in the air.

Besides the initial formal courtesies, the research-focused Chen Yixin and the military personnel were not talkative. Moreover, some topics were not suitable for discussion in that setting, and they soon ran out of things to say.

Perhaps neither found the situation awkward, but they couldn’t just stand there forever.

Zhao Li quickly stepped forward, saluted, and shouted, “Fire Phoenix Special Operations Team, Deputy Commander Zhao Li, welcomes the Generals.”

As the words fell, the entire Fire Phoenix army saluted in unison.

Li Tianwen returned the salute, glancing briefly over them, “Where is your team leader?”

“Reporting.”

Zhao Li lifted his chin slightly, answering without looking away, “The team leader has suffered serious injuries and is unfit to move, currently resting.”

Li Tianwen frowned slightly and looked towards Lu Anan.

Lu Anan nodded, glancing at the wide-open hangar door, “Bring your team leader out. My personal beast is too large to enter the cabin easily.”

Upon hearing Lu Anan’s words, a stir went through the crowd.

Zhao Li momentarily zoned out at Lu Anan’s words and only snapped out of it after being quietly reminded by the other team members.

His face flushed with excitement, “Yes, sir!”

“Take your positions, turn right, quick march!”

Pat pat pat!

The uniform sound of footsteps rang out as others swiftly cleared the path.

With the Fire Phoenix team members gone, the standing Cang Haiyuan unavoidably became the most eye-catching presence.

Seeing Li Tianwen approach, Cang Haiyuan quickly puffed out his chest and stood straight, solemnly saluting, but he did not introduce himself.

Li Tianwen did not engage in small talk, returning the salute before shifting his attention elsewhere.

“Generals Li and Lu, shall we wait in the hangar?” At that moment, the ship’s captain squeezed through to invite both men with a gesture.

Li Tianwen nodded, following the captain’s lead, a large group making their way into the hangar.

“Careful, careful.”

“Hao Zi, stop with the fuss and keep it steady for me,”

Not long after entering, the elevator doors slowly opened, and a noisy clamor trickled out from within.

Curious onlookers gazed inside, and a few young soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army were immediately dumbstruck.

Why had everyone run to the hangar?

They quickly straightened up, thrusting their chests out, with their right arms bent in line with their shoulders, as they marched over with a single bed.

Shao Zifeng grinned, These guys sure paid attention to appearance, but the way they carried the bed didn’t seem like they were carrying a living person at all. Uninformed people might think there was someone draped with the national flag on it.

Zhao Li stood at attention and reported, “Reporting to General Li and General Lu, our captain has arrived.”

The soldiers placed the single bed on the deck, but the person on it had their head covered with a blanket.

Li Tianwen looked puzzled at Zhao Li.

Zhao Li’s mouth moved hesitantly a few times, “The captain believes he’s currently not fit to present a soldier’s image and feels ashamed to face the generals.”

Li Tianwen’s gaze flickered, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said in a low voice, “Everyone turn around.”

His voice, calm yet forceful, echoed in the quiet hangar.

The crewmembers hesitated for a moment then complied by turning away.

Shao Zifeng was about to turn around when he saw Chen Yixing gesturing for him to come over.

Zhao Li saluted Li Tianwen, then crouched down and lifted the blanket.

Shangguan Long, with his withered hair, came into view. He wore a loose military uniform and seemed to avoid direct eye contact with Li Tianwen and Lu Anan, struggling to sit up.

“Lie down,”

Li Tianwen looked on quietly, “This is an order.”

Shangguan Long shuddered, trembling as he raised a hand to salute and said in a hoarse voice, “Yes, sir.”

“An Nan, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Lu Anan nodded, then crouched down to start undoing Shangguan Long’s military uniform.

Shangguan Long turned his head slightly, his subconscious body language showing resistance.

“Don’t be nervous, a patient shouldn’t be shy of a doctor,” she said with a warm smile. Shangguan Long slowly relaxed.

As they opened up his clothing, his wrinkled chest was exposed to the air, revealing a twisted, stitched wound on his abdomen. The skin showed signs of sewing, indicative of a circular collapse underneath.

Seeing this kind of injury, Lu Anan’s brow furrowed.

The moment she saw Shangguan Long, her mind was instantly filled with the thought of contamination by certain entities, but looking at the stitched wound, she wavered.

In all the cases she had encountered, contamination meant that the wound could not be sutured.

The contaminant would devour the victim’s flesh like a relentless maggot, forcing any stitched wound to eventually burst open as it expanded.

Yet if it wasn’t contamination by that entity, Shangguan Long’s emaciated condition was inexplicable.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Anan suddenly clapped her hands.

Soon after, light footsteps resonated across the deck, and a tall white deer with its head bowed strode into the hangar.

It radiated blue light from its body, looked around, then trotted over to Lu Anan.

It gently nudged her with its large head, showing affection.

“Qiuqiu, scan his abdomen and sync the data to me,”

The Nine-colored Deer nodded, its blue eyes gradually turning pink. Below its hooves, ethereal pink streamers appeared, and the misty blue glow around its body was replaced by a pink hue.

Simultaneously, Lu Anan’s eyes swirled with pink light, and she closed them.

Shao Zifeng held his breath. He noticed that at the instant the Nine-colored Deer activated its skill, one of the abilities marked with ‘???’ in his skill tab slowly revealed its name.

It was exactly the ‘Perception’ skill that Lu Anan had just mentioned, a phantasmal ability.

Lu Anan, whose eyes had been tightly shut, suddenly opened them and the pink glow gradually faded.

Her gaze was intense as she looked at Zhao Li.

“How did you remove that thing!”
