Chapter 442: Chapter 441 Bin City University Biological Research Institute Chapter 442: Chapter 441 Bin City University Biological Research Institute Over the next month, all the perennially snow-covered areas along the Daxia border were quietly incorporated into the military’s key supervision areas.

Tianshan, Kunlun Mountain, Hengduan Mountain Range, the Himalayas, and the Tibetan Plateau, as well as nearby areas of the Pamir Plateau, saw an influx of military observers, and patrol frequency and routes became denser. Furthermore, some remote mountainous areas also had aerial reconnaissance squads added.

This was because experts in the field of biology deduced from existing intelligence that if the outsiders from the video were to enter Earth again, they would likely choose these perennially snow-covered regions.

However, these developments had no impact on the lives of ordinary people, except for occasional reports of accidents, and life in various regions remained calm and harmonious.

On March 21, Snow Dragon returned to Daxia several months ahead of schedule, docking at the cargo port of Bin City.

“Zifeng, remember to call me if you need anything.”

Chen Yixin hugged Shao Zifeng lightly and then turned around to lead her team away.

She had planned to stay in Bin City for a few days, but she was urgently summoned by the Imperial Capital and was taken away by the military as soon as she disembarked.

Familiar faces in the scientific research team bid their farewells one after another, suggesting that Shao Zifeng should take the time to visit the Imperial Capital. Cang Haiyuan also put on a flashy suit, made a cigar-smoking gesture, and hinted that he had not forgotten.

Watching everyone’s retreating figures, Shao Zifeng stood on the empty pier and dialed the number Chen Yixin had given him.

Before leaving, he needed to resolve Yaya’s contract issue.

The call was quickly answered, and a sweet female voice said, “Hello, this is Bin City University Biological Research Institute. May I ask whom you are looking for?”

“I am looking for Professor Li Song. Professor Chen Yixin referred me, and I’d like to use your institute’s Array.”

“Alright, please hold on.”

After the girl spoke, she hung up the phone, and soon called back: “Professor Li Song is currently busy and cannot meet guests, but you can use the Array. Please take a car to Bin City University…”

Hearing this, Shao Zifeng interrupted, “Excuse me, could you possibly come to pick me up? It’s a bit inconvenient for me here…”

The woman showed no impatience after being interrupted.

“Understood, please tell me your location.”

After hanging up, Shao Zifeng sighed in relief. Although it was a bit troublesome, the issue with the Array was finally resolved.

“Gurgle…” Yaya’s throat pulsated, carefully moving closer to Shao Zifeng.

Being away from Antarctica for the first time, it was a bit nervous, its amber vertical pupils sizing up the unfamiliar surroundings, with its small paws quietly clutching Shao Zifeng’s sleeve.

Fortunately, this was a cargo port, and since it was the closed season, only some curious workers looked at Yaya, causing no significant trouble.

The response from Bin City University Biological Research Institute was quick. In less than half an hour, a large truck had driven through a special passage and stopped in front of Shao Zifeng.

“Excuse me, are you Mr. Shao Zifeng? I am from the Mutant Creatures Transportation Company… um…”

The driver got out of the vehicle and looked down at the list in his hand, and when he looked up to confirm the information and saw Yaya, he immediately shuddered, a hint of fear on his face.

“I am. Don’t be afraid, Yaya won’t hurt you.”

Shao Zifeng took the list, glanced at it, and signed his name.

Huff–
Yaya exhaled a breath of hot air from its nostrils, turned its head, and ignored the man.

Upon entering the truck’s cabin, the warm and comfortable temperature made Yaya squint its eyes.

The little creature, though born and raised in Antarctica, was not a mutant creature that was extremely cold-resistant, otherwise its species would not be down to just itself.

Shao Zifeng looked around the cabin’s environment and nodded in satisfaction.

“Yaya, you rest here for now. After the contract is signed, you can go wherever you like.”

“Gurgle…”

Yaya’s little paws subconsciously clung to Shao Zifeng’s sleeve, a nervous expression on its face, clearly not understanding what Shao Zifeng meant by “going to its favorite place.”

Realizing this, Shao Zifeng laughed and stroked its big head, “It means going to where Qiuqiu and the others live. You’ve only seen it, right? When I miss you, I’ll just ‘biu’ and summon you out.”

He gestured with his hands and feet, as if coaxing a child.

Yaya nodded its head, and finally settled down, but its little paws still clung tightly to Shao Zifeng.

It seemed that after returning from Antarctica, this guy had become even more clingy. With no other choice, Shao Zifeng had to stay in the car with it.

Bin City, as a gateway to the Daxia Imperial Capital, composed of over a dozen cities, had infrastructure and economic strength that places like Su City, a minor eighteenth-tier city, could not match. Bin City University was among the top fifty universities nationwide, clearly showing its strong faculty.

After getting off the car, Shao Zifeng brushed his long hair from his face; he hadn’t had time to deal with his appearance after disembarking from the Snow Dragon, looking something akin to a punk rocker.

“Excuse me, are you Shao Zifeng?”

At that moment, a sweet female voice called out from nearby.

Shao Zifeng looked up to see a tall female student walking over, her face bearing a sweet smile and a very amiable disposition.

“Hello, I am Shao Zifeng from the Yundu Region, sorry for the disturbance this time,” Shao Zifeng nodded and extended his right hand.

“Hello, my name is Tong Lili, a student at Bin City University and also an assistant at the Biological Research Institute.”

“Gurgle!”

At that moment, the robust Yaya descended from the car, its black uneven rocky body reflecting a metallic sheen, and its cold vertical pupils revolving, giving off a strong oppressive aura.

Tong Lili’s eyes were immediately drawn to Yaya. She opened her mouth in awe, “Shao, is this the creature you want to contract as your pet? It looks so powerful, and it’s a species I’ve never seen before. May I ask, Shao student…”

Realizing she was speaking out of line, she quickly made a welcoming gesture, “Please, follow me.”

Shao Zifeng nodded slightly, not saying much, and admittedly, it was comfortable interacting with such a girl.

The Biological Research Institute at Bin City University was much more impressive than Chen Yixin’s back in Su City, with rows of custom-made glass display cases greeting them as they entered, verified by a swipe of an access card.

Inside the display cases were different environments created based on the habits of the mutant creatures inside. Even the floor below was made of specialized glass, with various small water-based mutant creatures darting underfoot.

Looking around, the entire corridor seemed like an ecological park.

Seeing the fragile glass structure, Shao Zifeng hesitated, “Yaya, keep it light with the wind element, don’t break their glass now.”

“Gurgle,” Yaya’s amber eyes blinked.

“It’s okay,” Tong Lili waved her hand, a hint of pride on her face, “The glass in our institute is custom-made. Each square of glass can withstand up to 2.5 tons of force, just let her wander.”

In Tong Lili’s mind, even a 2-meter-tall Mud Armor Elephant weighed just over two tons, and this big fellow certainly didn’t look heavier than that.

“Well… okay then,” Shao Zifeng hesitated, seeing how confident the other party was, he didn’t say much, else she might think he was looking down on them.

With Shao Zifeng’s permission, Yaya cautiously stepped onto it.

Surprisingly, nothing happened.

The corners of Tong Lili’s mouth curled up even further.

Seeing this, Yaya also relaxed, and its hind paws followed onto the glass.

Crack!

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed.

Yaya looked bewilderingly at Shao Zifeng, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment.
