My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 437 - Chapter 437 Chapter 436 Flash Deceive

Chapter 437: Chapter 436: Flash, Deceive! Chapter 437: Chapter 436: Flash, Deceive! The silent conference hall had several large screens hanging in the air.

Each screen was divided into two sections so that everyone in the circular hall could see clearly.

One side of the screen showed the map from ice dome A point to the Ross Sea, with a red line representing Shao Zifeng’s route. Every time a triangle lit up near this red line, a photo of a mutant creature species would appear on the other side of the screen.

Beneath it were the names of mutant creatures entered by Shao Zifeng and a rough estimation of the creatures’ strength, broadly categorized as either middle-level or high-level species.

Once the academics from the research institute admitted the existence of a complete ecological chain in Antarctica, they became increasingly excited at the sight of various mutant creatures they had never encountered before, greatly elevating Antarctica’s status in their hearts.

There were still traditionalists like Academician Zhu, of course, but overall acceptance was quite high.

In contrast were the twelve generals who, staring at the dense markings along the red line, grew more serious and focused.

The density of these mutant creature populations was staggering, rivaling even that of the African continent, not to mention the significant risks potentially hidden within these mutations.

Yes.

As military officers, they keenly sensed that behind the emergence of these mutant creatures, there must be some extraordinary machinations.

As the red line on the map reached its end, the other section of the screen froze on an image of three Ice Soul Giants.

Secretary Sun rose to his feet at the right moment, holding a folder as he said, “This route covers a total straight-line distance of 1,221 kilometers, documenting 145 mutant creature species, with 43 mutant creatures. On average, there’s a mutant creature group every 8.42 kilometers, and that’s without considering overlapping territories.”

After Secretary Sun finished speaking, soft murmurs of discussion filled the hall.

Mostly, the academics from the mutant creature-related departments of the research institute were discussing. The twelve military generals, being soldiers, seldom participated.

During non-war times, soldiers mostly obey assignments.

Moreover, high-ranking officials from various departments, who served more as support, remained silent. They only needed to provide the necessary assistance within their duties; discussing strategies and such was the affair of the relevant scholars and think tanks.

Thud, thud!

Wu Tianyan picked up the gavel and tapped the tabletop: “Everyone is now aware of the situation in Antarctica. If anyone has any thoughts, please put them forward, and let’s discuss together.”

“I have a question.”

Academician Zhu was the first to stand up, having been skeptical of this intelligence from the beginning.

“As I understand it, it’s only been a little over ten days since the research team landed on the Ross Sea. How exactly did they manage to reach ice dome A point in such a short time?”

“Moreover, among the more than ten members of the research team, only seven soldiers from the Fire Phoenix army are considered combatants. And they only have middle-level strength, right? In that case, how did they traverse the territories of over 140 middle and high-level mutant creatures and manage to record so much image data, even going so far as to name them…”

Those familiar with Academician Zhu could deduce his dissatisfaction from his words, as typically, naming new species is generally a matter to be discussed and decided by well-respected and venerable seniors.

Gu Qingyuan looked disdainful, but Academician Zhu pretended not to see and continued, clearing his throat: “Has the Fire Phoenix army become so powerful?”

His words reduced the volume of discussion in the hall. Everyone’s gaze subtly shifted toward General Ouyang of the Fire Phoenix army.

In the video feed, the corners of Ouyang’s mouth twitched.

To hell with this nonsense.

Last meeting he had already lost face, and now he was being dragged through the mud again. What did the Fire Phoenix army ever do to anyone?

Ouyang maintained a pose of indifference, as if none of this concerned him.

But damn it, he was truly pissed off!

Seeing Ouyang silent with a dark face, the other attendees took the cue, and Qin Zhenbei nearly burst into laughter, his robust body quivering.

The elderly members of the arbitration council exchanged glances, and Wu Tianyan spoke up: “Since Academician Zhu has doubts, Xiao Sun, go ahead and play the video as well, so we can discuss these two issues together.”

“Alright, Elder Wu.”

Xiao Sun operated the remote control in his hand, and the image on the screen faded away, suddenly the screen began to shake violently.

The meeting attendees quieted down and turned their attention to the big screen.

“Ssshh–”

A harsh screeching sound echoed through the conference hall, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.

In the darkness above, suddenly four pairs of eyes of different sizes and colors lit up.

The video footage wasn’t very clear, but it was apparent that the filming location was on a vast snow plain.

As the camera panned upward, several differently shaped mutant creatures appeared in the frame, attacking a giant ice-blue insect creature.

The battle was very intense, but because of the bright lights and smoke from various skill explosions, the footage became even blurrier.

Inside the conference hall, everyone’s gaze was glued to the big screen, including a few elders from the council. Even though it wasn’t their first time watching the video, they were still captivated by the high-level fight.

The fight didn’t last long, and after a screech, the clearly high-level insect creature burst into countless pieces, dispersing ice-blue fog that lingered for several seconds before dissipating.

Li Tianwen’s eyes suddenly narrowed, free from the disturbance of the combat aftershock.

Because he realized that there were other humans present in the footage.

The other meeting attendees also slowly became aware of this situation and began to whisper among themselves.

“Which country has orchestrated such a high-level force to go to Antarctica?”

“It’s hard to say, but sending so many experts must be indicative of some major discovery.”

“….”

Because the filming distance was far and affected by snow dust, these people assumed it was just experts from other countries up to something.

The video continued, with two people slowly walking towards the filming location.

“This is impossible!”

As the two girls came into view, many people stood up abruptly, some even exclaimed in shock.

They leaned forward, their eyes locked on the newcomers in the footage.

Thin clothes, silver-white hair, and the pale blue skin uncommon to humans.

These features were clearly not from any human race on Earth.

“Are these also mutant creatures?” Academician Zhu asked, adjusting his glasses, “No, that’s not right…”

Wu Tianyan glanced at him and pressed his hand down, “Sit down first, let’s finish the video before discussing.”

Although they had countless questions in their minds, they could only hold back for now.

The two girls approached closer and closer, and the video transmitted the hurried breathing of the person filming, making even the attendees in the hall tense up.

This was possibly the first contact with extraterrestrial humans…

Pop!

Just then, the video screen flipped for a moment, Shao Zifeng’s half face flashed briefly, and then the big screen went black.

The attendees looked at each other in confusion.

What happened to the promised first contact, why did it just cut off with a pop?

Is this some kind of tease, a deception?
