My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 276 - 275 Sunrise

Chapter 276: Chapter 275 Sunrise

Chapter 276 -275 Sunrise

The captain’s quarters of the Yermak resounded with loud snoring.

The burly Valery lay shirtless on the somewhat narrow single bed, his hand still clutching an unfinished bottle of vodka, while a brown bear quietly lay beside the bed, resting its paws and falling into deep sleep.

Knock knock!

The sudden knocking awoke the brown bear, which lifted its head and instinctively bared its teeth, then extended its tongue to lick its master’s dangling hand.

Valery furrowed his brows, scratching the dense chest hair before slowly opening his eyes.

Click!

The dim light of the old-style lamp gave the room an eerie atmosphere, as Valery picked up a bathrobe and casually draped it over his shoulders.

“Boss.”

Opening the door, a slender Far-Eastern man stood respectfully at the threshold.

“Come in and talk.” Approaching the captain’s dining table, Valery pulled off his bathrobe, tossed it on the back of a chair, and began cutting into the leftover beef from the night before, stuffing a piece into his mouth.

After chewing a few bites, he spat the meat onto the floor, clearly in a bad mood, and took a swig of vodka: “Tell me the reason you disturbed my sleep.”

The slender man, head bowed, glanced at the brown bear glaring at him with ferocious eyes and swallowed hard: “A hundred and fifty nautical miles ahead, a convoy of the Daxia has appeared, and it seems the Xuelong is having trouble.”

“A hundred and fifty nautical miles?”

Valery frowned, it seemed to be no small problem.

The Xuelong had left more than ten hours before them, and now the distance between them was only a hundred and fifty nautical miles.

“Do we have someone on board?”

“No, Daxia’s crew recruitment this time was extremely strict, and all of our people had some issues, none were selected.” The slender Far-Eastern man paused before continuing, “Three minutes ago, Daxia’s convoy broadcast a message on the regional channel demanding an inspection of all ships in these waters.”

“It’s the peak of the ice season, nearly all ships can’t navigate these waters, I suspect they’re targeting us.”

After listening to his subordinate, Valery took another drink of vodka, the liquid spilling down his chin into his beard.

“We have official scientific research procedures from a third country, if Daxia doesn’t want to provoke public outrage, they wouldn’t dare to touch us. Let the deputy head handle them when the time comes.”

“After all, they are all Daxia people.”

“Yes.” The slender man responded with his head bowed.

“Anything else?” Valery, annoyed at the sight of the spoiled beef, picked up the plate and placed it in front of the brown bear.

The brown bear finally turned its gaze away from the slender man and began devouring the beef.

Relieved, the slender man hesitated before saying, “I’ve always felt there’s something wrong with the deputy head and Yelena, Boss…”

“I am aware.” Valery, toying with the dinner knife, gestured at the man with it a few times.

The man trembled violently with fear, “B-b-boss, mercy, I won’t overstep again…”

Valery was pleased with his reaction, setting down the knife and looking at him with a smirk.

“When a sheep wants to blend in with a pack of wolves, it must behave even more wolf-like towards the other sheep. If it doesn’t do that, it will be the first to be eaten by the pack.”

“Decrease the speed and maintain a distance of about two hundred nautical miles from the Xuelong.”

“By the way, have the chef send me a fresh steak weighing five pounds.”

“Yes!”

Bang!

Just as the slender man was about to leave, the Yermak suddenly shook violently.

…

Early morning, the oppressive clouds gradually dissipated, and a hint of fish-belly white appeared in the eastern sky.

The temperature remained low, but the sea breeze had lessened, and under the light wind’s caress, the waves murmured softly.

On the Xuelong’s aft deck, the only crew member who had perished was placed in a box, covered with the Star Dragon flag, and sent onto the convoy’s comprehensive support ship.

“Woo~”

The whistle of the Snow Dragon sounded, bidding farewell to this sailor for the last time.

In two days, he would return home with a huge sum of compensation, thus truly ending his wandering life.

Shao Zifeng leaned against the deck railing, his gaze calmly watching everything unfold.

Qiuqiu was hidden in Shao Zifeng’s chest, its little claws clinging to the neckline, secretly observing.

It was fixated on the white mist Shao Zifeng exhaled, curiously reaching out a small paw to grab it, but the cold air outside made it give up the idea, and it curled up honestly inside the down jacket.

(ฅ´ω`ฅ)

Cang Haiyuan, with a scratched face, walked over, holding two hot drinks in his hands.

“Thanks for what you did before.”

Accepting the hot drink, Shao Zifeng opened one and held it to Qiuqiu’s mouth, watching as it wrapped its paws around the bottle, looking content, and Shao Zifeng showed a faint smile.

“How’s the Emperor Penguin doing?”

“It was sent to the support ship for treatment, they have military medical equipment there, it should recover quickly.”

“Oh!” nodded Shao Zifeng.

Just then, several assault boats sped from a distance, towing away tentacles washed by the sea, and Shao Zifeng curiously asked, “How are you going to deal with this thing, it smells rather appetizing.”

Qiuqiu cooperatively swallowed a gulp of saliva, looking expectantly at Cang Haiyuan.

Cang Haiyuan looked at them as if they were fools: “You would dare to eat this?”

“Hey, just a joke to lighten the mood, didn’t you all go to a meeting just now?”

“The lab results for this thing are out, it’s different from the mutant creatures forcibly transformed by the Holy Origin Society, this is a second generation that evolved on its own, and the infection source is likely from the nuclear weapons a country dropped on Oli Island at the start of the ‘Unknown Recovery Event.'”

“Its fission genes are more stable, which makes them different from the chaotic madness of the first generation. They possess a degree of thought yet are more bloodthirsty than ordinary mutant creatures.”

Having said this, Cang Haiyuan finished the hot drink in his hand and looked up: “Do you know what this means?”

“It means that the Holy Origin Society might, after many years, gain control of a second and third generation bloodthirsty yet obedient mutant creatures.”

“By that time…”

Shao Zifeng fell silent; he had fought with mutant creatures created by the Holy Origin Society more than once, those whose strength surged in a frenzy of killing, leaving a lasting impression on him. If it was as Cang Haiyuan said, and they gained even more obedient forces, with combat prowess no less than the first generation, it would be a disaster for the world.

“But this isn’t something we should worry about, let the higher-ups have the headache,” Cang Haiyuan crumpled the bottle in his hand and threw it hard into the sea.

Suddenly, Qiuqiu darted out from Shao Zifeng’s collar, spreading a pair of small flame wings on its back, and quickly chased after the bottle, grabbing it with its little claws.

Intense flames erupted from its body, completely vaporizing the bottle.

“Ying ying!” Qiuqiu flew back to the men, sternly scolding Cang Haiyuan.

Cang Haiyuan looked bewildered: “What’s it saying?”

Shao Zifeng, struggling to hold back laughter, hugged Qiuqiu: “It says you’re littering, it’s unhygienic… haha.”

Qiuqiu nodded its little head, looking disdainfully at Cang Haiyuan.

Cang Haiyuan’s lips trembled, his old face flushed red with anger, and he turned his head and left the deck.

After he left, Shao Zifeng held Qiuqiu and lay on the railing, quietly watching the sparkling sea.

Moments later, a sunrise emerged from the sea, and unknown mutant birds greeted the sunrise with bursts of joyful calls.

Qiuqiu observed the beautiful scene.

Its eyes sparkled brightly.
