Superstars of Tomorrow

Chapter 476: Delicate Little Curly Hair

Yan Biao’s mind was a mess. His inner thoughts were screaming.

Is that the dog I always walk?!

Can that monstrous thing that took down an assault mecha be called a dog?!

That small and obedient Curly Hair!

Is that a f*cking dog!?

Is it!?

Yan Biao had only seen the moment Curly Hair had transformed and pounced on the mecha. After, he didn’t dare to continue watching and hid himself in a corner of the store.

Yan Biao had some experience. During his time with Planet Baiji’s military, they had encountered creatures that were difficult to deal with. When encountering ones that were tricky to deal with, it was best to not be too curious and avoid showing off. All squad members were taught to hide and avoid detection. It was the same now. Yan Biao concealed himself instinctively. Who knew when that berserk creature would attack them?

However, Yan Biao discovered that Zuo Yu was actually still sneaking peeks!

Zuo Yu’s eyelids were twitching as if he was looking at an extremely shocking scene.

Yan Biao didn’t dare imagine the scene. Just the crashing din was enough for him.

After another ten seconds, everything became calm. It had merely been a few moments, but Yan Biao and Zuo Yu felt like they had survived a harrowing and life-threatening ordeal.

The store was silent once more. Yan Biao and Zuo Yu’s drumming heartbeats gradually calmed.

Zuo Yu stretched his neck out for a quick glance and had a strange expression on his face.

Yan Biao looked at Zuo Yu and mouthed, “Is it over?”

“I don’t know.” Zuo Yu moved his lips without making a sound either.

“Is that thing a dog?” Yan Biao asked again.

“It... is?” Zuo Yu seemed even more perplexed.

Yan Biao was left speechless at Zuo Yu’s reply and couldn’t help himself from sneaking a peak at what was outside the doors.

Amidst the floor littered with holes and craters, a small little dog was lying there. There didn’t seem to be any injuries on its body, yet it was crying pretty hard.

There was nothing else besides this dog. The mecha was totally gone. There wasn’t even any wreckage. It was as if the previous scene and all the various sounds were nothing more than hallucinations.

Yan Biao seemed as if he was doubting his own life.

Zuo Yu was stupefied.

Bzzz Bzzz——

Communications signals returned to normal.

The inspection team managed to get in touch. A rescue team quickly arrived.

Yan Biao’s tense nerves wouldn’t relax. He kept his eyes fixed on the dog, afraid that the dog would suddenly go crazy and hurt others when the rescue team arrived.

The shutter doors and main gate of the warehouse were now working as normal. A squadron of soldiers and two inspection team members came running over.

“Are you all alright?”

“Where’s the assault mecha?”

“The inner and outer doors of this store were done in by an assault mecha’s laser cannons. But how did all these holes appear on the floors and walls? Do you two know anything?” The soldier at the lead came over and asked.

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu maintained their silence and shook their heads.

How to explain this? How can we explain this?

We can’t speak the truth right?

They couldn’t understand it themselves and needed to talk to Fang Zhao first. Otherwise, they couldn’t say anything.

The two inspection team members saw that Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were unharmed and made a beeline for Curly Hair.

“Little Curly Hair? What happened?” one of the inspection team members asked.

The only reply he had received from Yan Biao and Zuo Yu was silence.

The inspection team members shot them a dissatisfied glance before squatting down to pat Curly Hair. They reckoned Curly Hair was already familiar with them over the last few days.

“Scared witless?” The two inspection team members had tender looks of concern. “Curly Hair, don’t be afraid. Come, let’s bring you out.”

Curly Hair continued lying there, crying like an extremely delicate pet dog.

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu: “...”

The two inspection team members felt their hearts ache even more.

“Sigh, looks like he’s really terrified.”

One of the inspection team members picked Curly Hair up from the floor.

Curly Hair stuck out his legs while still crying, as if he was trying to resist.

The inspection team members chuckled when they saw this. “Those little dog legs are still rather lively. Looks like it isn’t a big deal.”

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu stood about ten places away and watched with complicated looks on their faces. The two of them took a deep breath to summon the courage to get Curly Hair back. After all, the dog was theirs, and walking Curly Hair was their job. Even if some crazy incident had just happened, Curly Hair was still their responsibility and not the inspection team’s.

However, the inspection team members who didn’t know what Yan Biao and Zuo Yu had gone through were rather dissatisfied with them.

The inspection team evaded Yan Biao’s hands that reached over and said, “You guys stand aside. I’ll carry him!”

“Thank you!” Yan Biao and Zuo Yu replied sincerely.

The inspection team member thought to himself, These two bodyguards won’t do. They don’t know anything and can’t even walk a dog properly!

The inspection team members reckoned that something serious had happened in this store previously. They suspected that Yan Biao and Zuo Yu definitely knew something but weren’t willing to speak about it for some reason. But, whatever was up with Yan Biao and Zuo Yu had nothing to do with Curly Hair. Since it was unrelated, they had to comfort this terrified dog first.

This was such an outstanding dog. Curly Hair’s service ability could be affected if he suffered psychological trauma. Although Curly Hair was a pet dog currently, there was no telling what he could be in the future. This type of dog belonged in spaceports!

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were led away. The inspection team restricted them in a rest lounge for the time being.

After the others left, Yan Biao surveyed the lounge. He didn’t discover any monitoring installations, but that didn’t mean that the room was clear. Just to be safe, he didn’t speak too directly.

“What happened?” Yan Biao asked.

Zuo Yu knew that Yan Biao was asking about the incident earlier. He didn’t say anything and used his facial expressions to ask, You don’t know?

Yan Biao shook his head. He only knew the beginning and end, but he really couldn’t guess the process.

Zuo Yu was stony-faced. He didn’t know what sort of emotion to show at this point in time. He sighed heavily.

Yan Biao raised an eyebrow. It was a puzzled look.

Zuo Yu turned his sights to the refreshments placed on the table beside. He picked up a bun and pounded it flat with his hands. Following that, he viciously used his teeth to rip the bun in two before swallowing it completely. After that, he licked up the bits of crumbs that had fallen.

Having acted it out, Zuo Yu’s stony-faced expression returned. He gestured, It was like this.

Yan Biao: “...”

Yan Biao rubbed his face vigorously, willing himself to stay calm.

However, deep down, he was howling inside.

That was an assault mecha!

Such thick armor!

It was just ripped apart so easily?!

How did such a big mecha be completely devoured!

Even if it was eaten, where did it all go?!

There wasn’t even any part that remained! Nobody would even suspect that there was one there!

Just thinking about it is horrible!

Yan Biao wondered whether Curly Hair had also devoured other stuff, like people!

They were simply risking their lives to walk the dog!

Yan Biao felt a chill from just thinking about the times he had patted Curly Hair.

He had to thank Curly Hair for not eating him!

After composing himself, he continued to ponder.

What exactly is Curly Hair?

Is he an alien organism?

Does the boss know that Curly Hair can transform?

Rationally speaking, Yan Biao reckoned that given Fang Zhao’s prudence and intellect, he would surely understand Curly Hair’s situation.

Yan Biao broke out in cold sweat when he recalled what Fang Zhao had reminded them of every day when they either watched or walked the dog.

On the surface, both Yan Biao and Zuo Yu were staring into space. But, it felt like a raging storm in their minds. They sat blankly in silence until Nanfeng’s voice sounded.

Fang Zhao couldn’t contact Yan Biao and Zuo Yu so he contacted the inspection team’s personnel and had Nanfeng fetch them.

The inspection team checked with their superiors. After approval was obtained, Nanfeng was allowed to enter.

The first thing Nanfeng did was retrieve Curly Hair from the inspection team.

Nanfeng was hugging Curly Hair as he entered the lounge. While placating Curly Hair, he glanced at Yan Biao and Zuo Yu. He had heard from the inspection team that the two of them were unscathed and relaxed after confirming it personally.

Right now, all of Nanfeng’s concern was focused on this dog worth nearly 300 million in his arms. As for his comrades?

Weren’t his comrades totally fine? They didn’t even have a single scratch.

Seeing Yan Biao and Zuo Yu gaping at him, Nanfeng raised an eyebrow and urged, “What are you two spacing out for? Come on! Let’s go see Boss!”

Yan Biao: “...” No! Comrade! I have something to say!

Yan Biao moved his lips but swallowed his words in the end. All he did was watch Nanfeng hug the dog with an inexplicable look on his face.

Nanfeng didn’t know that those two were currently worrying for his safety. He hugged Curly Hair and led Yan Biao and Zuo Yu out.

Fang Zhao was lying down in his ward. His movements were also being restricted now. Even though his wound had already healed, he still continued to lie in bed.

Nanfeng entered the ward with Curly Hair in his arms, followed by the other two.

Upon entering Fang Zhao’s ward, Curly Hair leaped down from Nanfeng’s embrace and ran over listlessly. He easily sprang onto the bed and whimpered. He sounded like he was very upset, and there were obvious tear stains beneath his eyes. He raised his head to let Fang Zhao see the bare dog collar before lying on the bed and weeping.

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu: “...”
