Chapter 277 -276: Cleychurch (Requesting Votes at Month End)
On the 28th day of the journey to Antarctica, Shao Zifeng finally saw land once again.
Standing on the narrow front deck, clad in short sleeves and enjoying the summer breeze of the southern hemisphere, Shao Zifeng felt a longing for land for the first time as he gazed at the horizon.
Not far away was the journey’s midway point, Christchurch.
Known also as the Garden City, Christchurch is located on the east coast of the South Island and is one of the five gateways to Antarctica; it was from the port of Lyttelton in Christchurch that humans first set off to set foot on Antarctica.
For research vessels from various countries, this is a stopover on their Antarctic expedition, where the Xuelong was to replenish fuel and supplies.
It was a pity that, even though one could already see the South Island emerging above the sea level, it would still take nearly a day to arrive.
“Zifeng junior, come help out.”
While Shao Zifeng was pensively gazing at the land at the far end of the sea, suddenly Yang Qi’s voice came from behind him.
Shao Zifeng turned around to see several people from Cang Haiyuan wearing beach shorts, sunglasses, and sun hats, each carrying something, looking just like they were on a beach holiday.
Seeing their exaggerated attire, Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, “What are you guys up to?”
“What else could we be doing? We’re sunbathing in such great weather. If we don’t soak up some sun now, we’re going to grow moldy. Here, take this.”
The man who spoke was Yang Qi, tall and thin with a head of loosely curled hair that looked as if it had been permed.
Over this period, Shao Zifeng had become familiar with these people. Since Chen Yixin claimed Shao Zifeng was her little brother, they affectionately called him junior.
As Shao Zifeng took the bucket passed by Yang Qi, a chill immediately hit him; he saw that a round, plump little seal was lying on the ice cubes in the bucket, with several bottles of chilled drinks tucked underneath it. When the little seal saw Shao Zifeng, it happily greeted him.
“Arf!”
Suddenly, the expression of the Greenland seal turned to one of utter terror, as Qiuqiu, who had appeared from nowhere, was now perched on Shao Zifeng’s shoulder, rubbing its little paws together in expectation.
“Qiuqiu, stop scaring it,” Shao Zifeng said, turning his head reprimandingly to look at Qiuqiu.

“Ying ying!” (Eggy, you’ve changed!)
Qiuqiu looked pitifully at Shao Zifeng, its eyes brimming with tears.
You little drama queen.
Like you’re the only one who can act!
It’s just that you’re coveting its body.
Shao Zifeng felt a headache coming on. Ever since he had gotten to know these people better, Qiuqiu had taken a liking to their round and plump Greenland seal, playing with it until the poor thing was howling.
But it wasn’t entirely Qiuqiu’s fault.
Looking at the shivering Greenland seal, Shao Zifeng thought, who could blame the little guy for being so round? Sometimes even he couldn’t resist it himself.
Amidst laughter, several beach chairs were lined up in a row, each with a small umbrella attached at the back.
Shao Zifeng and the others lay on the beach chairs, each with a bottle of chilled drink, comfortably soaking up the sun.
Qiuqiu lay back with its limbs splayed out on Shao Zifeng’s stomach, wearing a pair of sunglasses—those were prepared for Shao Zifeng.
“Brothers, this is our last bit of leisure before entering the Antarctic Circle, let’s make the most of it,” Cang Haiyuan said, holding a glass bottle dewed with water droplets and taking a big swig.
Qiuqiu gave him a disdainful glance, hugged a bottle of drink in its paws, and contentedly sipped the beverage through a straw, its long tail swishing back and forth, feeling a bit itchy.
The men continued to chat while sunbathing, and the conversation gradually shifted to the sea fog they had encountered earlier.
Since that time, the Xuelong had encountered the fog twice more during its voyage, but both times the fog clusters stayed far away.
When Qiuqiu passed by, the fog would disappear without a trace, as if it were monitoring them.
“So, didn’t you guys assist in some research before?” Haiyuan asked in a relaxed manner, shaking his leg. “Did you come up with anything new?”
A few researchers exchanged glances, hesitant to speak, but ultimately, it was Yang Qi who broke the silence, “Then let me share some of our team’s findings, this isn’t classified information.”
On hearing this, Shao Zifeng immediately perked up, as he had always taken new knowledge very seriously.
Otherwise, in another timeline, he wouldn’t have amassed more than 140GB of learning materials.
Yang Qi cleared his throat, “First of all, it has been confirmed that this substance is a product of the nuclear radiation from Oli Island years ago, however, after our research, we found that although it’s a product of nuclear radiation, as second-generation, they are not infectious. That is to say, after autonomous evolution, academically, they can be recognized as another path of evolution.”
“Later, we combined the radiation detection reports from Oli Island over the years, and as the radiation level in Oli Island’s radiation zone gradually decreased, these fission gene species would not cause much impact on the natural world.”
“That’s it?” Haiyuan pulled down his sunglasses and rolled his eyes at Yang Qi.
“Don’t rush me, later we studied reports sent from all over the country, the ones artificially modified by the Holy Origin Society.”
“After analysis, we found the difference between them and the radiation products of Oli Island; their fission genes are not simply due to nuclear radiation but are injected with other substances including nuclear materials. These fission genes have a strong infectivity.”
“What we’re most worried about now is if this secret is discovered by other countries, we cannot guarantee they won’t replicate the process. If it really comes to that, it would be lethal to all mutant creatures.”
After Yang Qi finished speaking, the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
Most present had dedicated themselves to research out of a fascination with the diversity of mutant creatures.
If, in the near future, the world was left only with mutant creatures carrying fission genes due to human greed, the mere thought was difficult for them to accept.
Seeing the mood, Haiyuan quickly spoke up: “Forget it, forget it, all this is too far removed from us, let’s talk about Cleychester instead, I heard you can find the renowned Garden City far and wide… maybe during our stay, we could encounter some beautiful ladies… hehe.”
Shao Zifeng looked at Haiyuan with disdain, “This is Garden City, not Nightclub City.”
“Ying!” (Exactly!) Qiuqiu may not understand what Nightclub City is, but felt that Shao Zifeng made a lot of sense and looked at Haiyuan with the same disdain.
Haiyuan: …
These two guys are as annoying as ever.
He really wanted to beat them up.
With their chattering, the researchers’ spirits were lifted considerably, and they began to express their longing for the mutant creatures of Cleychester…
The techies were having a good chat.
…
“Woo~”
The setting sun gradually dipped below the sea level, and the Xuelong sounded its whistle.
They packed their bags and stood on the deck, gazing at the exotic European-style architecture from a distance.
In the crystal-clear sky, there drifted magnificent sunset clouds, adorned with bright stars.
From afar, it looked like an oil painting.
Cleychester.
We’ve arrived!
