My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 439 - Chapter 439 Chapter 438 The Home Phone

Chapter 439: Chapter 438: The Home Phone Chapter 439: Chapter 438: The Home Phone The appearance of alien races and space teleportation were matters of great significance; any single event could potentially disturb the Earth, hence the meetings at the Imperial Capital’s Listening Chambers continued for many days.

During these days, with the assistance of the think tank, considerable adjustments were made from civilian life to military affairs.

For instance, the top personnel from various armies were selected to form an independent joint legion, whose main task was to monitor and guard against the appearance of alien races, providing Daxia with firsthand intelligence and warnings.

The legion commander of this unit was to be taken in rotation by the twelve chiefs.

Another example was the reduction in powers of the older generation academicians at the research institute; they would only have advisory rights without the power to make decisions alone. The main person in charge of each research project had the right to request meetings, and the proposed topics would be voted on by all the academicians in the field. In other words, the kind of situation where Academician Zhu could reject applications was now a thing of the past.

Chen Yixing was appointed as the head of the mutant creatures division in the research institute, and as Wu Tianyan said, it was important to give young people more opportunities to make mistakes, as only those who dare to err have the courage to correct them, without overly restraining the young people’s performance.

Furthermore, the establishment of a space attribute research team and sharing some intelligence with countries worldwide were also of paramount importance.

Of course, the higher-ups in Daxia were even more cautious in this regard. Although from a macro perspective these matters concerned the fate of all humanity, considering that different countries and alliances were not united, squabbling over interests before the disaster struck would only deepen the contradictions between them.

To avoid unnecessary internal consumption and for the welfare of people worldwide, the high command of Daxia, having firsthand intelligence, decided to dispatch people to Antarctica in batches as much as possible before convening an international conference to share intelligence.

This way, they could have more time to collect as many stones as possible needed for the teleportation array.

…

Whoosh!

Pulling back the curtains of the room, sunlight flooded in, and Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

The crisp sunlight scattered on the unfinished buildings of the new station at Ross Sea, with the pure white snow reflecting a blurry halo.

In a world of pure white, the red flag of Xinglong weakly fluttered under the sunlight, clearly indicating an uncommonly windless day in Antarctica.

“Awooo–Woof!”

“Woof woof~~”

“You guys, stop!!”

Over a dozen plump Siberian Snow Wolf Dogs ran freely among the construction sites, completely disregarding the breathless trainer behind them, as well as the various construction equipment they knocked over.

One Snow Wolf Dog even intentionally knocked down the trainer, then looked at him with disdain, kicked some snow over him with its paws, and then joyfully ran off.

Shao Zifeng leaned on the windowsill, watching everything outside with a beaming smile, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

It had been a few days since he returned to the new Ross Sea station, and during these days, he had been lounging about like a lazy cat, doing nothing but eating and sleeping.

The room he lived in was still the same one from before, not very large and quite minimally decorated.

Apart from the single bed, Yaya, lying on the floor, occupied most of the space.

Pity that the portable contract pendant was broken by it, so it was forced to stay in this confined space.

Ding.

The clear ring of the telephone broke the tranquility in the room.

“Grrr…”

Yaya lifted its head cautiously, and upon seeing Shao Zifeng’s back, relaxed slightly, dropped its head again, and closed its eyes, its tail tip shaking slightly.

Shao Zifeng took out his mobile phone, somewhat surprised at the caller ID displayed, and then pressed to answer.

“Qiqi ah…”

The Qiqi on the phone screen seemed not to react initially, its furry little face first looked confused, then its eyes sparkled with delight, and finally, it pouted a little mouth.

“No way, no way, this call actually got through, I thought it was a disconnected number.”

The mature-sounding tone combined with an odd intonation, along with the furry little cat face on the screen, unexpectedly had a kind of quirky charm, causing Shao Zifeng to involuntarily squint and laugh.

Qiqi was initially turning away to ignore him, but seeing him continually laughing, Qiqi huffily said, “Shao Zifeng, you’re annoying!”

“Hahaha.”

“You’re still laughing, huh!”

“I’m not laughing, this is genuine joy upon seeing a relative,” Shao Zifeng argued earnestly.

“You are laughing, you annoying creature!”

After quarreling with Qiqi for a while, Shao Zifeng asked softly, “Is everything okay at home recently?”

“Everything’s fine. Someone’s not at home, not even a message, you don’t know how relaxed mom and I are,” Qiqi said insincerely, then asked in a low voice with a shifting gaze, “When are you coming home?”

Shao Zifeng looked at the evasive little cat in the video and teased, “Missing me?”

Upon hearing this, Qiqi bristled like a wild kitten, “Oh ho ho–how could that be, how could I possibly miss you…”

“Really not missing me?”

“Not missing…” Qiqi turned her head away coquettishly, “Mostly because the phone credit you added is almost gone.”

“Oh,” Shao Zifeng nodded gravely, “Then I won’t come back, I’ll add more credit online.”

“You dare!” Qiqi blurted out this sentence and then explained, “Mainly because you can get prizes for topping up at the service center; the rice cooker at home is getting old, mom got shocked last time, and also, she keeps going on and on…”

Watching Qiqi chatter incessantly, waving her little paws, Shao Zifeng’s lips curved into a smile, feeling even more relaxed.

“Qiqi, I’m back.”

A familiar voice came through the phone, followed by panting sounds as the Chasing Moon Dog appeared in the video wearing sunglasses.

“Yueyue, hello,” Shao Zifeng waved to the Chasing Moon Dog.

“Woof woof!”

The Chasing Moon Dog was initially taken aback, but then it caught on, its tail wagging furiously, and it ran off.

“Yueyue, why are you dragging me, just wait for me to put things down…” Mother Shao muttered as she scolded the Chasing Moon Dog while approaching the phone.

Mother Shao stared steadily at the phone screen, her lips trembling slightly as if she wanted to say something.

“Mom…”

Shao Zifeng’s eyes moistened, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, he had a lot to say but didn’t know how to begin.

In household matters, he indeed had been slightly aloof, but it was more due to the influence of Mrs. Shao Yuying.

A mother who was not adept at expressing maternal love, a son who was not adept at expressing affection–a lot of things often just required a look…

“You little rascal, you didn’t die, huh!”

Shao Zifeng: …

Qiqi lay beside him, covering her mouth with her little paw, giggling, her big eyes forming crescents.

“Mom, let’s talk about something else,” Shao Zifeng took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions surging in his heart, he pointed the phone at Yaya, “This is my new buddy, its name is Yaya.”

Yaya blinked confusedly at the phone.

After chatting with his family for a while, Shao Zifeng turned off the phone.

Lying in bed, he reflected for a while and then called Chen Zhenglong.

Finally, he sent a message of safety to the group chat; seeing no one replied, Shao Zifeng had to turn off the group chat.

Having done all this, Shao Zifeng lay on the bed looking at the ceiling.

Finally, it was time to go home.
