Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 40

Lin Shuangshuang took the item from Ma Yuan’s hand. It was a section of the plant’s root, unknown to her. She brought it to her nose and took a sniff. A pungent smell pierced through her brain, but her spirit suddenly revived. The fatigue of a sleepless night seemed to vanish instantly!

”This is something that stimulates the brain nerves to keep people awake!” Lin Shuangshuang exclaimed, her eyes widening in realization. Li Man really knew a lot, being able to find something like this to stimulate people’s nerves, ensuring they wake up at the earliest.

Ma Yuan nodded, his expression heavy between his brows, ”This Li Man is really something else. Not only can he pinpoint the exact timing of the world’s mutation, but he also prepared this in advance. It’s simply terrifying when you think about it!”

Looking at Ma Yuan’s heavy expression, Lin Shuangshuang felt a bit at a loss on how to respond, because she increasingly felt that this Li Man must have been reborn. Since he’s reborn, knowing the exact timing of the world’s mutation seemed perfectly normal.

”Perhaps it’s not as terrifying as you think. Maybe Li Man originally planned to act tonight, and creating this thing was probably just to keep his people awake, as people tend to get sleepy at night.”

Next to Lin Shuangshuang, Song Yuhang, who had been watching Doumi and Red Jade evolve with curiosity, chimed in upon hearing Lin Shuangshuang’s conversation with Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan’s expression remained grave, but there was nothing else he could do. Li Man had already disappeared to who knows where, preventing them from catching him to ask and confirm their suspicions. He could only say helplessly, ”Let’s hope so!”

Not wanting Ma Yuan to keep worrying about this, Lin Shuangshuang diverted the topic by asking Song Yuhang, ”By the way, yesterday I kept watching you, but I didn’t see you doing anything special. How did you pass that message to your teammates?”

Song Yuhang grinned with pride, ”This is our team’s unique messaging method. I can’t tell you the content, but I can share the method. I passed the message using codes right under Li Man’s nose while conducting special training for them.”

”As for Li Wenxuan and Li Wenbo, they were too exhausted to even respond suspiciously after being completely worn out!”

Lin Shuangshuang suddenly realized, no wonder Song Yuhang suddenly gathered his subordinates for special training yesterday and even pulled in Li Wenxuan and Li Wenbo! It turns out he was passing the message during that time.

This method truly was ingenious, even someone as sharp as Li Man didn’t notice them exchanging information right under her watchful eye!

Seeing that Red Jade and Doumi’s evolution had not yet stopped, Lin Shuangshuang remembered that in her past life, Doumi did not evolve for such a long time. However, the longer the evolution time, the better, because the longer the evolution takes, the more energy is absorbed, resulting in greater strength.

Lin Shuangshuang speculated that it must be because Doumi had absorbed enough nutrients in this life, leading to better physical fitness, allowing it to absorb more energy during evolution and thus take longer to evolve.

This time, the evolution would generally set the shape of all creatures, dividing them into two categories: the larger ones would be power types, and the smaller ones would be speed types overall. But it would mean that human survival would get tougher.

Initially, after training, the people who could easily crush the insects found themselves at a disadvantage again. Now the insects had evolved to be as tall as a person. With increased size, their combat power naturally became stronger, making battles less easy.

Not only were there more powerful insects and animals on the road now, but there were also mutated animals capable of attacking humans. What used to be an easy journey for the group had now become a daunting task.

Moreover, looking at Red Jade and Doumi’s appearance, it seemed it would take some time before they wake up. Without Red Jade and Doumi being awake, the group found it hard to proceed.

Coincidentally, Lin Shuangshuang wanted to give herself some hellish training. She needed to enhance her physical fitness and expand her meridians to accommodate more Inner Strength. Other people, if they wanted to safely travel, also needed to improve their physical fitness again.

So, Lin Shuangshuang decided to continue special training for everyone. Now that the first major evolution had been fully completed, with the biological energy more abundant in creatures, along with the foundation laid before, it would be quicker to improve physical fitness again.

This time, Lin Shuangshuang also planned to teach everyone the complete mantra for cultivating inner strength. Being able to use Inner Strength would make their attack power much stronger.

The following days plunged everyone into the depths of hellish training once again. Among them, Lin Shuangshuang particularly focused on training Mi Lu, Ma Ying, Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenbo, the four with the weakest Combat Power.

As for Ma Yuan and Liu Song, although their Combat Power was also low, these two were research personnel, non-combatants. As long as they had the stamina to run fast and fend off danger a bit until rescue arrived, it was fine. So their training was the easiest.

Lin Shuangshuang increased the intensity of the training drastically this time. Such training intensity would have been life-threatening before the great evolution. Even if it wasn’t life-threatening now, it still left everyone wailing, until by nightfall, they couldn’t even cry out!

Despite all this, no one was dissatisfied because Lin Shuangshuang’s training intensity was even greater than theirs! After a whole day of training, they lay sprawled on the ground, unable to move even a pinky finger, but Lin Shuangshuang not only remained lively but also managed to catch their food.

Everyone shed big tears of frustration; they were the most elite soldiers picked from troops through a bridge-crossing selection, and now Lin Shuangshuang had turned them into scraps.

Of course, Lin Shuangshuang was initially a martial artist, and having brought back her Inner Strength from her past life, it was normal that Song Yuhang and the others couldn’t measure up. Song Yuhang and the others weren’t aware that Lin Shuangshuang was reborn. They only knew that she was more formidable because of her martial arts, so they earnestly practiced the Inner Strength Lin Shuangshuang taught, hoping to be as formidable as her one day.

Dinner was roasted mantis eggs and meat. Nowadays, insects had grown to a human’s height, and the meat on them edible for humans increased. For instance, the meat from the front blades of a mantis, with the right seasoning and a good roast, emitted a fragrance so enticing that it could make someone swallow their tongue.

Especially after Chef Li Wenxuan’s cooking, the near-transparent mantis leg meat made everyone’s mouth water, surrounding Li Wenxuan and eagerly watching as they waited for it to cook.

Even the usually indifferent to gluttony Lin Shuangshuang joined with her sword, pretending nonchalance beside Mi Lu and Ma Ying. Of course, eating enthusiasts Mi Lu and the one she influenced, Ma Ying, always stayed close to Li Wenxuan when cooking.

Every time Li Wenxuan finished cooking, he first handed the food to Mi Lu and Lin Shuangshuang, letting the three ladies eat first.

After training, everyone went to sleep, leaving only Lin Shuangshuang, still full of energy, to keep watch outside.

Red Jade and Doumi’s evolution continued. Now Doumi was as big as a young leopard, and Red Jade was even larger. Lin Shuangshuang had never seen a particularly mutated spider and didn’t know what Red Jade would transform into ultimately, but it was definitely moving towards something better.
