My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 208 - 207 First-Level Combat Readiness

Chapter 208: Chapter 207: First-Level Combat Readiness Chapter 208 -207: First-Level Combat Readiness “Roar!”

Seeing this, Qiuqiu’s Scale Armor on its body surface spread open, with cracks flowing like dark red magma. Its wings folded together, drawing a beautiful semicircular trajectory. Its sides were covered by shockwave clouds, and it sped up, chasing after Shao Zifeng.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Shao Zifeng somewhat panicked. As his falling speed increased, the whistling wind pressed his clothes tightly against his body.

The night sky was an infinite river of stars, beneath him the golden-yellow cityscape, himself like a tiny speck of dust between heaven and earth.

Shao Zifeng spread his limbs, and the panic in his heart slowly dissipated.

Feeling the flow of the wind beside him and his hair wildly dancing in the wind, he could faintly make out a fast-moving blaze among the stars. Shao Zifeng slowly closed his eyes.

Bang.

A sound of air bursting exploded.

Strong arms wrapped around his waist, and the sensation of weightlessness instantly vanished.

Qiuqiu fluttered its Burning Wings, hovering midair, with balls of fire detaching from its wings and dancing in the air.

“Sigh~”

It breathed hastily, lowering its head to look at Shao Zifeng in its embrace. The Scale Armor on its body closed back tightly against its physique, and its large eyes carried a hint of self-reproach.

Qiuqiu really couldn’t hold its liquor, but it drank very little and didn’t feel dizzy from the scare just now.

Shao Zifeng’s body shook continuously, his thin pajamas torn by the raging wind revealing several large rips. He wrapped his arms around Qiuqiu’s neck and closed his eyes, listening to Qiuqiu’s strong heartbeat.

Qiuqiu thought he had recovered as well and rubbed its big head against Shao Zifeng’s.

Ever since it discovered it couldn’t coo anymore, Qiuqiu had lost its ability to speak, except for the occasional roar.

It no longer acted coquettishly with whines and squeaks like it used to.

Shao Zifeng, whose body had been frozen stiff, slowly recovered, lifting his head to reveal a flushed face, his eyes misty as he slurred with a lolling tongue, “Qiuqiu, that was… was so thrilling!”

Qiuqiu: …

…

At the Abnormal Administration Bureau command hall in Yundu City, Zhao Liqian and others were anxiously waiting for news from the front.

The big screen showed various squads advancing in an orderly manner.

Recently, Yundu City’s protected area had experienced frequent thefts, with dozens of registered mutant creature juveniles stolen.

After several captures, the Abnormal Administration Bureau had found that this gang of thieves was not very strong, but they were more cunning than mice.

This time, they received a tip that the poaching team would act again tonight. The Abnormal Administration Bureau of Yundu City coordinated with various district bureaus to organize a large-scale roundup and brought advanced equipment like drones, but in this seemingly fail-safe search, Squad 11 lost communication.

The atmosphere in the entire command hall was very solemn. Rows of computers displayed various data as Abnormal Administration Bureau tech personnel remained at their posts to support their colleagues on the front line.

“Report, Squad 10 has reached the destination, no sign of Squad 11 found, end of report.”

“Report, Squad 12 has conducted a search within a fifty-meter radius of the destination and found signs of a struggle and a small amount of blood. My squad requests permission to continue deep search operations, end of report.”

Zhao Liqian, with an expressionless face, stared at the dozens of screens, and after a moment’s contemplation, he said, “Authorize Squad 10 and Squad 12 to proceed deeper. Squads 1, 3, 5, and 7, move quickly to the incident location. Squads 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, and 14, flank and encircle in an orderly manner, ensuring the suspect cannot escape.”

“Squad 1 received!”

“Squad 2 received!”

…

“Squad 14 received!”

After making these arrangements, Zhao Liqian watched the teams quickly get into action and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just as he relaxed, he felt some discomfort in a certain part of his body and remembered he had not been to the bathroom.

He turned his head to whisper a few instructions to his deputy, then as he turned his chair, he saw the emergency response platform behind the neighboring glass wall busy with activity.

Operators at the Abnormal Administration Bureau were in a flurry, answering phones nonstop, some barely hanging up one call before immediately grabbing for the receiver again.

Zhao Liqian’s heart skipped a beat, as such chaos usually meant a major emergency was unfolding somewhere.

He quickly grabbed the microphone, “Team Leader Huang, is there an emergency situation in the city?”

“Reporting to Director Zhao,” a capable middle-aged woman’s voice came through the command hall’s speakers, “We’ve just received numerous complaints from citizens. There seems to be a mutant creature attack at Yundu Hotel, and many eyewitnesses claim the attacker resembles Burning Wings.”

Shao Zifeng?

Zhao Liqian’s previously eased brows knitted together once more. Ignoring the call of nature, he immediately ordered, “Communications technician, immediately pull up all surveillance footage near Yundu Hotel, the time is…”

Team Leader Huang interjected, “The time is 1:35 AM.”

“Yes!”

Under the operation of the communications technician, the large screen displayed thousands of small screens, and shortly after, the technician brought up a dozen or so videos near Yundu Hotel, aligning the timeline.

“Report, footage retrieval complete.”

“Play it.”

“Roar!”

No sooner had the video begun than a deafening dragon’s roar exploded within the hall.

There was a moment of disarray in the command hall, and even Zhao Liqian was momentarily stunned, but thanks to the Abnormal Administration Bureau’s well-trained protocols, calm was quickly restored.

All eyes turned toward the massive screen en masse.

The multi-angle footage, centered on Yundu Hotel, showed a colossal shadow plummeting from over twenty stories high, about to hit the ground when suddenly, a pair of massive wings ablaze with flames unfurled, sending a visible shockwave sweeping across, blowing away all excess objects on the ground.

It then flapped its wings and soared skyward, hugging the exterior wall of Yundu Hotel. After a brief pause on the 11th floor, it disappeared from the footage with a long trail of flames. Amidst a cascade of falling glass, the video closed out with the chaotic blaring of car alarms.

Zhao Liqian looked at the frozen image on the screen with a complex expression on his face.

Such a student emerging from the Yundu Region, as the Director of Yundu City’s Abnormal Administration Bureau, he took pride, especially given this person’s deep connection to his good brother.

But this lad was too prone to causing trouble.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Liqian asked with a stern face, “Team Leader Huang, are there any casualties?”

“Reporting to Director Zhao, there have been no reports of casualties, only some property damage, and…” the middle-aged woman hesitated.

“Speak up!”

“Yes! Many of the competitors staying at Yundu Hotel, these kids’ willpower is weakest when they are asleep and they must have been frightened…”

Hearing this, Zhao Liqian wished he could strangle Shao Zifeng.

The regional qualifier was a major event for the Yundu Region. If it caused a delay in the competition, even he would have trouble explaining, “When is the next competition scheduled?”

“Reporting, most of the competitors staying at Yundu Hotel are from the leading institutions. They are set to continue after the initial bouts and the ranking matches for the eliminated institutions, and the impact on lower-ranking institutions is minimal.”

Relieved, Zhao Liqian sighed; there was still time for psychological counseling, but that Shao Zifeng really had no sense of propriety.

Zhao Liqian sighed again, took out his phone, scrolled to Chen Zhenglong’s number, and hesitated with his finger hovering over it for a long time.

“Ah!”

Just as he was about to make the call, a scream came through the speaker.

In two violently shaking images, dozens of crimson eyes flickered in and out of sight, and then the camera rolled several times, revealing a leg covered with protruding veins in the flickering frames.

Seeing that leg, Zhao Liqian’s pupils shrank. The creature clearly shared the same features as the attacking mutant creatures from Su City.

A stir arose once more in the hall.

Zhao Liqian couldn’t care about making the call anymore and, grabbing the microphone, he shouted, “All response teams, prepare for level-one combat, proceed at full speed to assist!”

“Yes!!”
