Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: I’m Not the Holy Mother in the Apocalypse 5

The boy who was pushed out looked a bit displeased and glared at several people. When he looked at Lin Shuangshuang, his gaze was somewhat lofty as he said, ”Lin Shuangshuang, there must be a lot of mutated insects outside. It’s really unsafe for you to go out like this. It’s better to stay in the classroom and wait for the police or teachers to come!”

The truth was, this boy wanted Lin Shuangshuang to stay in the classroom to protect them, but what he said made it sound so righteous as if it were for Lin Shuangshuang’s own good!

When Lin Shuangshuang saw this handsome boy, she thought for a long time before remembering his name should be Meng Tao. He was the school heartthrob of this class, and it was said his family background was quite remarkable. Lin Shuangshuang had even secretly admired Meng Tao when she was in college during a previous life.

Although Lin Shuangshuang wasn’t ugly, she wasn’t particularly beautiful either. If one were to comment on her appearance, she was more like the girl next door: clear and mild but not stunning. Such a look naturally didn’t catch Meng Tao’s eye as the school heartthrob.

Lin Shuangshuang was very self-aware, understanding that neither her looks nor her background could lead to anything with Meng Tao, so her crush had always remained unexpressed.

However, when a person likes someone else, there are always traces. Several of Meng Tao’s wealthy friends knew about Lin Shuangshuang’s secret crush on Meng Tao.

Because Lin Shuangshuang was very self-aware, even though she secretly liked Meng Tao, she never bothered him. Meng Tao didn’t mind; after all, having someone secretly admire him was also a testament to his charm.

Later, when the apocalypse came, Lin Shuangshuang, though not as skilled back then, was still the strongest in the entire class due to her martial arts training from a young age. The only difference was that she hadn’t considered leaving at the time and stayed in the classroom like everyone else.

In a previous life, the police, doctors, and teachers were slow to arrive. Lin Shuangshuang, who never thought of leaving alone, stayed in the room with Doumi, waiting from dawn till dusk and then another dawn for rescue, but no rescuers came. Meanwhile, the number of insects outside increased, and they were growing bigger.

The people inside the room were afraid of the insects and dared not step out, but they were both hungry and thirsty from being stuck inside the classroom. Just like now, Meng Tao’s friends pushed him out, asking him to have Lin Shuangshuang find food and water.

Back then, Meng Tao said that Lin Shuangshuang had great martial arts skills, and with a mutated cat Doumi by her side, going out to find food and water was the least dangerous, making her the best candidate. While the words were different, the attitude was just as high-handed as now.

At that time, Lin Shuangshuang was blinded by love, her mind filled with the excitement that her secret crush was actually paying attention to her, completely unaware of Meng Tao’s condescending attitude, as if even speaking a word to her was an act of pity.

Doumi, after evolving, was indeed very effective against insects. With Doumi to protect her, Lin Shuangshuang quickly retrieved a lot of food from the school’s mini-mart.

Once was followed by twice. Over the next few days, Lin Shuangshuang took Doumi out daily to find food and drinks but ended up exhausted each time, getting little to eat herself.

After all, the amount one person could bring back was limited, and there were many to feed. Even the large share in Lin Shuangshuang’s hands was not enough to fill her stomach.

During that time, Doumi stayed by Lin Shuangshuang’s side all the time and never caught prey for itself to eat its fill. This resulted in Doumi’s evolution being much slower than other animals later.

It was much later that Lin Shuangshuang learned that when animals first mutate, they hunt mutant insects to eat. Mutant insects contain many nutrients that mutated animals need. The more they eat, the stronger the animals become after mutation.

The initial ten days of mutation during this apocalypse were later referred to by human survivors as the golden ten days for mutant animals!

In her ignorance, Lin Shuangshuang delayed Doumi’s evolution while tending to this classroom of students. Eventually, a team of mercenaries sent by Meng Tao’s father found them and took Meng Tao and his group of friends away without Meng Tao even glancing back at Lin Shuangshuang.

Toward Meng Tao, Lin Shuangshuang didn’t feel any resentment or unwillingness. After all, although Meng Tao took advantage of her, he never used sweet words to deceive her, nor did he ever ask her for anything.

In the past, Meng Tao was more like someone high above commanding Lin Shuangshuang to protect everyone and find food, while Lin Shuangshuang foolishly rushed in due to her own wishful thinking. It was her own stupidity, not to blame others.

In this life, Lin Shuangshuang would never delay the important matters of finding her parents and helping Doumi evolve for a man she no longer had feelings for. She owed Doumi and was determined to make it up tenfold.

Recalling the previous life’s events, Lin Shuangshuang couldn’t help but fall into a daze. Since her rebirth, Lin Shuangshuang developed this habit of zoning out. Each time she saw familiar people, she couldn’t help but replay memories in her mind, which to outsiders, appeared as if she were daydreaming.

On the other hand, Meng Tao mistakenly thought Lin Shuangshuang was staring at him dumbfoundedly. Consequently, he frowned and felt a moment of regret. He hated love-struck girls the most, and he couldn’t help but think Lin Shuangshuang might misunderstand and shamelessly cling to him just because he spoke a word to her!

Thinking of this, Meng Tao’s tone turned a bit unpleasant, unconsciously adopting a lecturing tone, ”Lin Shuangshuang, what are you daydreaming about! Do you not understand the situation we’re in? What if you open the door and let the insects in, hurting people? Can’t you just behave?”

Lin Shuangshuang frowned slightly, finding Meng Tao’s attitude a bit inexplicable, but she wasn’t planning to waste time here playing Holy Mother and taking care of a large group of burdens. The mutant insects were indeed scary, but they weren’t invincible. If you didn’t try to protect yourself and just waited here for someone to rescue you, starving or dying of thirst was what you deserved!

Gently rubbing Doumi, who was starting to yawn in her arms, Lin Shuangshuang glanced around at the people in the room who were all looking at her with expectant eyes. Ignoring Meng Tao, she calmly said, ”I definitely have to leave. As classmates, here’s some advice for you: while the insects aren’t too tough yet, go out and build some courage. Dealing with locusts, there are always two weak points, the belly and the eyes. Hit one spot to cripple an insect. Live well!”

With that, Lin Shuangshuang embraced Doumi, casually unlocked the door, and walked out, leaving behind the explosion of chatter, criticism, and pleas trailing behind her. They were all young and strong people if they didn’t train themselves to become stronger, they were bound to die eventually.

Unlike the insect-free and clean classroom, there were a few insects wandering in the corridor. Not many, and seeing Lin Shuangshuang and Mi Lu suddenly appear didn’t trigger an immediate attack. As Lin Shuangshuang petted Doumi in her arms, she began a live lesson for Mi Lu, who followed her out.

”Actually, insects aren’t that frightening. Their habits haven’t changed, and they won’t actively attack when they’re full. In a bit, I’ll catch a half-dead insect for you to practice on, build your courage and physical abilities. There will be plenty of insect-killing to come in the future.”
