Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Mutation (Two in One)

“Boom!”

From above the fog, a faint sound of explosions could be heard, but, filtered through the dense fog, even the sound was weakened to the extreme.

The grating sound of friction kept rising, as the Snow Dragon once again demonstrated a slight tilt.

The heavy hull fell, raising splashes, but the voices nearby were still unclear, as if the ears were plugged.

Fire Phoenix Commander looked up, his face stern as he watched the unchanging white fog before him.

He had never seen such a consistent fog.

What exactly was hidden within it that could make an icebreaker of over 20,000 tons of displacement continuously tilt and shake?

“Professor…”

Tang Tang, her hair braided, was clasping Chen Yixin’s arm tightly, her delicate face full of panic.

“Everyone, retreat to the hangar!”

The commander of Fire Phoenix blocked Chen Yixin, who was peeping around, and his gaze sternly swept over the people.

Chen Yixin glared at Tang Tang, reluctantly being pulled by her into the hangar.

“Creak~”

The sound of friction came again, this time the tilt of the ship was much greater than before, a helicopter directly broke free from a restraining rope, shifting several meters like a pendulum.

A cry of alarm went up from the crowd, who supported each other to avoid falling.

“Could there really be sea monsters?”

“It’s hard to say, I heard it was personally admitted by the head of the scientific station.”

In a short span, the sea monster story told by Head Cui had already spread, and the ordinary crew members in the hangar whispered as they busied themselves securing the supplies.

Seeing that this would not do, the commander of Fire Phoenix turned his head and asked a team member holding equipment, “Is there a Daxia escort fleet nearby, can we make contact?”

“Report, we have already tried several times just now, but it seems the fog can block all kinds of communication signals,” a soldier said with a troubled expression. “However, we are in regular contact with the mainland, and if we don’t get through next time, support should be dispatched quickly.”

The commander of Fire Phoenix shook his head silently, “It’s too late, who knows how long it will take for them to get here.”

Hearing the commander’s words, Shao Zifeng was silent in his heart.

Actually, for a state-of-the-art research vessel like Snow Dragon, it was possible to hold out for a while for support.

But even if the ship could last, the three soldiers sent earlier could not.

The Fire Phoenix Pheasant, even with the Bath Fire ability, could not last very long.

“Wang Yikai.”

“Present!”

The soldier named Wang Yikai promptly stepped forward, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

“Come with me on the mission.”

“Yes!”

“Boss, let me and Yikai go, you need to command here,” the soldier previously in charge of surveillance showed urgency.

“If we do not return within half an hour, you all must immediately lower the electric roller door,” the commander ignored him, turning his head to look at the anxious captain standing aside.

Without waiting for the captain to reply, he continued, “Comrades, remember our mission this time. No matter what, you are to protect Professor Chen at all costs.”

“Even if it’s hopeless, be the brave ones to die first.”

“Anyone who disgraces our Fire Phoenix army, don’t blame me for punishing you to run laps.”

Saying this, a rare smile appeared on the commander’s face, then it turned back to his usual stern expression as he formally saluted the three remaining men.

“Boss…”

“Can you do it!”

“Yes! We swear to protect Professor Chen with our lives!”

The remaining three soldiers, their eyes red, but still steadily saluted in unison!

“If I don’t make it back this time…never mind,” the commander patted the leading man’s shoulder, ultimately leaving words unspoken.

The group tightly pursed their lips, knowing the Commander’s intent and why he ultimately chose not to voice it.

He simply did not wish to impose his own duties on others.

Everyone in the hangar fell silent, solemnly watching as the two figures disappeared into the thick fog.

Tang Tang gripped Chen Yixin’s arm tightly, the young girl overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes red.

At this moment, Chen Yixin also fell silent. She wondered if it was right to cause such trouble for the team for the sake of her scientific goals, thinking that if she had heeded the advice to depart from Zhoushan Port or Shanghai Port, this might not have happened.

Shao Zifeng’s hands trembled slightly, for with his empathetic gift, he was the one most impacted among them all, his chest rising and falling rapidly.

“Mew~” Qiuqiu, affected in its sleep, gently rubbed its neck.

Shao Zifeng took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

“Crack!”

Outside the hangar, the flames were hazy, and the sound of the Fire Phoenix Pheasant’s wings beating faded, as did the dimming firelight.

“Rest in peace!”

Once the firelight had vanished completely, the leading warrior lowered his arm, and the three quickly surrounded Chen Yixin, continuing to adjust various devices as if they were unaffected.

Moments later, one of them looked very upset as the video feed from the Commander’s body also disappeared.

“Rumble!”

Indistinct sounds of explosions came in waves.

The ship shook even more violently, and members of both the scientific and research teams gathered, silently praying in their hearts.

Time passed rapidly, and the sensation of vibration never ceased.

During this time, crew members responsible for different areas rushed toward the hangar, making the already crowded space even more cramped.

The leading warrior glanced at the time, his lips pressed tightly together, “Time’s up, please captain, close the hangar door.”

The captain hesitated slightly, “Maybe… maybe let’s wait a bit longer, it won’t hurt.”

A hint of emotion appeared on the warrior’s face, but seeing Chen Yixin beside him, he gritted his teeth, “Close it now!”

The scientific and research teams, having witnessed everything, remained silent. Such actions undoubtedly seemed like kicking someone when they were down.

However, the hundreds of crew members who arrived later thought differently, beginning to clamor.

“Yes, captain, since they said so, just close it.”

“Exactly, it’s been so long, who knows if they’re still alive… uh.”

A few crew members clamoring together were interrupted when one of them was swiftly silenced by a hand over his mouth.

The three warriors spun around, their eyes red with rage, their posture suggesting they might strike at any moment.

Yet, seeing the combat uniforms and the Star Dragon flag on their chests, they suppressed their anger and continued discussing the subsequent protection plans.

The scientific and research teams frowned upon hearing the crew’s remarks, their gazes filled with disgust.

The crew member, released by his companion, flushed with anger, still muttered defiantly, “What’s so great about them… just a stinking soldier…”

“Enough, just keep your mouth shut…” his companion pushed him.

Shao Zifeng looked distressed, his recent emotional turmoil not yet subsided, and he felt personally insulted by the slight against the Fire Phoenix forces.

Even though he knew those words were not directed at him, it felt as if they were pointed right at his nose and cursing him.

Indeed.

He really wanted to hit him.

He was working hard to control his impulse.

His emotions were already on edge, and now more than ever, he was on the verge of exploding.

“Mew!”

Qiuqiu suddenly opened its eyes, its golden-red pupils flickering with fire.

The small claws grasping Shao Zifeng’s arm suddenly exerted force.

Snap!

“Ah!!!”

In the midst of everyone’s disgusted gazes, the speaking crew member suddenly lifted his head and fell backward, his teeth mixing with fresh blood that sprayed out, strikingly glaring under the light.

Thunk!

The crew member fell flat on his back on the floor, his head tilted to the side, eyes rolled back, with a streak of blood seeping beads of blood on his cheek.

So exhilarating.

At the moment the man hit the ground, a sudden wave of exhilaration surged through Shao Zifeng’s heart.

Before anyone could react, a small figure fell from mid-air onto the body of the crew member, stepping on the man’s chest with its small paws.

It looked down on the crew member with disdain, casting off the bloodstains on its tail.

The crew member was stunned by the sudden attack, and so were the others around, all turning their gazes towards the little lizard on the crew member’s chest.

The scientific group from the Snow Dragon and staff didn’t recognize it, but those following Chen Yixin’s research group knew whose pet creature it was.

Three young warriors from the Fire Phoenix Army were also startled, their faces showing a tinge of exhilaration, although they still had to maintain their composure.

They had just prepared to step forward to maintain order, but Chen Yixin stopped them.

“Whose pet creature is this!”

The crew members, seeing their brother attacked, reacted as if a pot had exploded, summoning their own pet creatures.

Five space rifts slowly opened, and out leapt a few farm dogs and mice, only first or second tier in strength.

Indeed.

The crew members qualified to venture out to sea were themselves Combat Training Masters, or at least, they once were.

Now, it was just that dreams could not overcome reality.

Shao Zifeng glanced over, these were all common pet creatures with no potential for growth.

And judging by their fur and posture, it was obvious they had not received adequate training and nurturing; Shao Zifeng even doubted if they were well-fed ordinarily.

“What are you doing, what else are you doing?” the captain squeezed through quickly upon seeing this scene, addressing the crew members, “What is this all about, put your pet creatures away right now.”

The crew members exchanged glances, their faces painted with awkwardness.

That was rash.

In the heat of the moment, they had summoned their pet creatures, but now this dilemma, should they continue working here if there’s an actual commotion?

They need to understand this wasn’t a mere civilian company’s ship, they were all hired through regular means from reputable homes.

It was just because a close friend was attacked that they were momentarily impulsive.

Now thinking about it, if they were to truly fight over this foul-mouthed person.

This darn thing wouldn’t be worth it at all.

“Ying!”

Qiuqiu’s eyes flickered with restless flames, and the low-tier pet creatures around him weakened and lay on the ground, burying their heads between their legs, their bodies trembling continuously.

After weighing the situation, the crew members decided it wasn’t worth muddying the waters and after retracting their pet creatures, they faded into the back of the crowd.

The captain, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction, but his expression darkened upon seeing Qiuqiu, “Whose is this.”

“Mine.”

Shao Zifeng walked over from behind the crowd.

He crouched in front of the crew member, reaching out his arm as Qiuqiu aggressively stepped on him with its paws, then turned and scurried up to Shao Zifeng’s shoulder.

Fearing there might still be bloodstains on its tail, Qiuqiu continuously held up its tail, not daring to rest it on Shao Zifeng.

Seeing it act this way, Shao Zifeng reached out and hugged it in his arms, and Qiuqiu blissfully squinted its eyes.

Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, the captain suddenly grew angry, “Who are you, to incite your pet creature to attack someone?”

“He’s my brother.

Chen Yixin, who had walked over at some point, naturally wrapped her arm around Shao Zifeng’s, smiling sweetly at the captain.

“The mishap just now was due to my lack of discipline as a sister; let me apologize to the captain on his behalf.”

While speaking, Chen Yixin sneakily pinched the soft flesh on the inside of Shao Zifeng’s arm.

“Hiss!”

Shao Zifeng cracked a smile.

The captain’s facial muscles twitched a bit, revealing an awkward smile, “So, he’s Professor Chen’s younger brother, eh? Though what he did wasn’t right, what this lad said just now was indeed quite harsh.”

While speaking, he even kicked the crew member lying on the ground.

“A young brother with a youthful spirit, acting bravely for a just cause, how could that be wrong!”

“Damn it…”

At that moment, the man lying on the ground coincidentally woke up, covering his face and groaning in pain.

“Who the hell dares to hit me!”

Just as he raised his head, he saw the captain staring at him, the crew member’s expression sheepish, “Captain, my face…”

“Go close the hangar door quickly, and later put some medicine in the medical room. As for this injury…” the captain secretly glanced at Chen Yixin and the others and whispered, “you’ll get a separate injury subsidy when we settle the wages.”

“Yes, yes…”

Upon hearing this, the crew member’s eyes lit up, and he quickly scrambled up and ran toward the hangar door.

Thinking about the injury subsidy, his heart suddenly blossomed with joy, pondering whether to gamble on mutant creatures again once he got the money.

Being a crew member was enough for him.

Standing by the tall hangar door, the crew member pressed the green button.

Zi!

A faint sound of electricity buzzed, and the roller door slowly lowered.

Everyone’s hearts also relaxed quite a bit as the hangar door lowered, at least the expressions on their faces eased.

“Hey, kid, why were you so impulsive just now.” Chen Yixin rested her arm on Shao Zifeng’s, looking at him with a hint of reprimand.

Shao Zifeng scratched his head, he certainly couldn’t say it was Qiuqiu being impulsive.

Besides, Qiuqiu shared the deepest bond with him, and what it did was actually what Shao Zifeng secretly wanted to do.

“You’re pretty impressive, kid.” Cang Haiyuan came over and gave Shao Zifeng a thumbs up, “Tsk, never realized before that you were such a tough guy.”

Just as he was about to speak, Shao Zifeng’s eyelids started twitching furiously.

The blue light spots in his peripheral vision spun wildly.

Shao Zifeng widened his eyes and turned to look at the still partially open hangar door.

In his line of sight, the fog outside the hangar door suddenly roiled violently.

“Run!”

The crew member who was thinking about things was startled, and as he looked up blankly, he saw everyone looking at him with expressions of horror.

Why was everyone looking at him like that?

The crew member felt puzzled, and the next second, he felt his body being entangled by something cold and slimy.

Before he could see what it was, he felt his body lighten, and the scene in front of him retreated rapidly, quickly obscured by the dense fog!

“Aaah!!!”

A shrill scream was blocked by the thick fog, and the people inside the hangar looked pale as they watched the specially made roller door close.

“What… what was that?”

One of the crew members asked in a trembling voice, what just happened had been too fast, and they only saw someone being suddenly pulled into the midst of the fog.

Shao Zifeng’s heart pounded furiously. Although he couldn’t see clearly what it was, the reaction from the external device suggested it was something formidable.

As the specially made roller door closed, all sounds from outside were completely blocked.

Even the ship’s body no longer tilted or shook, and everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

“Bang!”

A loud knocking sound came.

The crew, who had been gradually relaxing, tensed up again, their bodies stiff as they turned to look at the roller door.

They saw a human-shaped bulge forming on the otherwise smooth roller door.
