My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 435 - Chapter 435 Chapter 434 Emergency Meeting

Chapter 435: Chapter 434 Emergency Meeting Chapter 435: Chapter 434 Emergency Meeting Imperial City, Tingming Pavilion.

The office was furnished with simple but grandeur and was very quiet.

Two massive Star Dragon red flags hung naturally down on either side of the bookcases, and a few robust bonsais were the office’s rare decorations.

Wu Tianyan was still wearing his Zhongshan suit, sitting at the redwood desk, seriously correcting documents.

Although the network of this era was as developed as ever, important documents were still on paper to prevent leaking of information.

Next to the office desk, on a root-carved wooden rack, squatted a sky-blue bird.

It huddled lazily, seemingly at rest.

After a long while, Wu Tianyan removed his reading glasses, leaned back in his office chair, and rubbed his sore eyes.

He reached for the porcelain tea mug beside the documents when a rhythmically slow knock on the door rang out.

After covering the tea mug, Wu Tianyan straightened his back and said unhurriedly, “Come in.”

Secretary Sun peeked through a crack in the door.

Finding Wu Tianyan looking at him, he walked in with a smile on his face.

“Old Wu.”

“Xiao Sun, you’re not resting so late, is it the old lady who sent you?” Wu Tianyan glanced at the food container in Secretary Sun’s hand and said helplessly, “You should rest when it’s time to rest; there’s no need to make a trip here so late at night.”

Secretary Sun’s smile lingered, “Auntie Li is just worried about your health, sir. She couldn’t come into Tingming Pavilion, and standing alone with the food container in the square in the cold wind… How could I, as a junior, bear to see it?”

“Besides, with you old folks staying up and neglecting meals without going home, how could I, as a lieutenant, be at ease resting?”

While talking, Secretary Sun put a pot of homemade chicken soup in front of Wu Tianyan, then picked up the porcelain tea mug to pour a cup of hot water.

Having done this, he sat across the office desk.

Wu Tianyan did not touch the chicken soup in front of him but said with some concern, “Why did she come alone again? She’s already not in good health. Couldn’t she just make a phone call? Well, did she…”

Seeing Wu Tianyan’s hesitant expression, Secretary Sun responded cheerfully, “Don’t worry, Old Wu, I personally escorted Auntie Li back. And she said no one is allowed to disturb you, and she only trusts me to deliver this soup to you.”

“That’s good.”

Wu Tianyan took a sip of the chicken soup and, noticing the document bag in front of Secretary Sun, put down his bowl and asked, “Is there something important?”

Secretary Sun, who knew his old superior’s character well, said that there would be no peace of mind eating without handling important matters, “There’s nothing too important. You drink your soup; I’ll just briefly report to you.”

“Start, the soup is a bit hot.”

“Well then… okay.” Secretary Sun hesitated before opening the file, “The first matter concerns that batch of Cold River Iron Ore from Forgotten Cold River. The first batch was personally brought back by General Li Tianwen and given to the Elemental Weapon Research Institute for forging.”

“Oh?” Wu Tianyan raised his eyebrows with interest, “Are the prototypes ready?”

Secretary Sun shook his head with a wry smile, “It’s not just a prototype. You know General Li Tianwen’s character. He personally camped at the research institute overseeing everything. Originally intended for research, the material was nevertheless crafted into a tailored battle saber for him.”

Wu Tianyan lifted his porcelain tea mug and blew on it with a smile, signaling Secretary Sun to continue.

“The day he received the elemental weapon, the institute arranged a test for General Li. He severely injured a tier-three Rock Pig with just a few slashes.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianyan’s hand holding the porcelain tea mug trembled, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

It was known that the ancient martial arts of the Great Xia were famous far and wide, but they became useless ornaments since the ‘Recovery’.

Because of this, Great Xia pursued research in this area most persistently, with enormous funding.

Even so, General Li Tianwen, the military’s foremost, with his ‘Bonding Reaction,’ could barely contend against tier-two mutant creatures, to say nothing of defeating them.

But a weapon forged from Cold River Iron Ore had just been handled and had already defeated a tier-three mutant creature.

What did this mean? The gap between tiers two and three was not as it had been at tier one, for mutant creatures must first pass through the gate of evolution to ascend to tier three.

The difference between post-evolution and pre-evolution is insurmountable.

This means that if a systematic training method can be developed, humans with a Bonding reaction are themselves a fighting force.

Although pets possess incredible strength, there are some missions that are more conveniently completed by humans.

Secretary Sun saw Wu Tianyan’s reaction, stood up, and placed the document in front of him, “The Strategic Development Department has intervened and proposed a plan to train a high-coordination tactical team of humans and pets. We are just waiting for your approval, and the multi-departmental research group can start working immediately.”

Wu Tianyan took the document, put on his reading glasses, and carefully reviewed the joint report from the various departments before finally signing and stamping it.

After confirming the matter, Wu Tianyan felt very pleased and picked up the bowl of cooled chicken soup, drinking it down in large gulps.

When he saw Secretary Sun take the bowl to serve more, he waved his hand, “One bowl is enough, the rest can wait until tomorrow.”

“Oh yes, that Zhou…”

“No, no, not Mr. Zhou, it’s the lad with the last name Shao. How is he doing now? I remember he joined an expedition to the Antarctic, didn’t he?”

Secretary Sun hesitated.

“What, something happened?” Wu Tianyan sat up straight, his eyes calmly looking at him, “Tell me.”

“A few days ago, Professor Chen contacted the new station in Ross Bay and reported that Shao Zifeng had gone missing while luring away a group of mutant creatures and requested the construction team at the new station to rescue him.”

“Subsequently, with the approval of the relevant departments, it was agreed to suspend construction and join the search and rescue efforts.”

“Three days ago, Professor Chen contacted the new station for the last time, saying that Shao Zifeng’s coordinates were at ice dome A, after which all contact was lost.”

“The search and rescue team is about to reach the last known location of their coordinates, and we believe there will be news coming through very soon.”

Thud thud thud.

Wu Tianyan frowned, his fingers tapping restlessly on the desk “Ice Dome A, why would Shao Zifeng suddenly appear there?”

Secretary Sun gave a wry smile.

“I suppose you don’t know either, so let’s just wait together.”

Afterward, Wu Tianyan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and gently tapped his fingers on the desk.

Secretary Sun tiptoed around and steeped another cup of tea for him.

Time passed by, second by second.

Drip.

The clear tone of an information alert sounded, causing Wu Tianyan to stop tapping his fingers and open his eyes.

A moment later, Secretary Sun hung up the phone with a grave expression.

“Mr. Wu, the situation seems to be quite troublesome.”

“Although the specifics aren’t clear yet, from what they’ve said, the situation in the Antarctic seems quite complex. The relevant documents and data will be transmitted over soon.” He relayed the basic information to Wu Tianyan.

Listening to Secretary Sun’s paraphrasing, Wu Tianyan’s expression grew increasingly serious.

He lifted the teacup to his lips, then set it down again forcefully, “We can’t wait for the transmission of the documents. Go and inform the several members of the Arbitration Council and the twelve Generals to convene for an emergency meeting at Ming Chamber within an hour.”

Secretary Sun hesitated, “But aside from three rotating Generals and General Li in the capital, the other eight Generals are stationed with their respective legions.”

“Then hold a video conference, and make sure the encryption is of the highest level,” Wu Tianyan stood and added, “Oh, and include those scholars from the research institutes. The highest officials from each department should attend the meeting.”

“Understood, Mr. Wu.”

Click!

The door closed gently, and the office was quiet once again.

Wu Tianyan turned and silently gazed at the Star Dragon Red Flag behind him, deep in thought.
