Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 55

When Lin Shuangshuang saw Meng Tao, she didn’t feel anything special, but Meng Tao was clearly taken aback upon seeing Lin Shuangshuang, as he hadn’t expected her to also come to the Capital Base.

Meng Tao looked at Lin Shuangshuang, unsure of how to react. After all, their last parting was quite awkward, and Meng Tao harbored a vague resentment because Lin Shuangshuang had left him at school, causing him to suffer until his father’s people came to fetch him. Ever since, Meng Tao had harbored a bit of resentment towards Lin Shuangshuang.

After being brought back to the Capital Base by his father’s people, Meng Tao once thought that Lin Shuangshuang had been so inconsiderate before, refusing to follow his instructions. He figured she was likely still struggling on the road. If Lin Shuangshuang had listened to him back then, they would have already arrived at the Capital Base together, and there would be no need to struggle outside. Whenever he thought of this, Meng Tao felt a dark satisfaction.

But Meng Tao never expected that the Lin Shuangshuang, who he thought was still struggling to survive outside, would appear on the streets of the Capital Base, neatly dressed and looking relaxed, completely beyond his expectation.

Lin Shuangshuang was unaware of Meng Tao’s thoughts. If she had known, she would have sneered, as in her previous life, she had protected Meng Tao for so long, but when he left, he still abandoned her.

Facing Meng Tao now, Lin Shuangshuang’s heart was calm. She didn’t even glance at Meng Tao but walked past him calmly with her parents.

Yet Meng Tao, seeing Lin Shuangshuang’s calm demeanor, felt a surge of inexplicable anger amidst his embarrassment. Her demeanor reminded him of when they were at school — he had said so much, but Lin Shuangshuang had walked away directly, ignoring him, causing him to lose face and be laughed at by classmates for a long time.

As Lin Shuangshuang was about to leave his sight, Meng Tao wasn’t entirely sure what he was thinking but took the initiative to greet her, ”Lin Shuangshuang, after being classmates for so long, how can you be so indifferent?” Even Meng Tao was startled by the strong resentment in his tone.

Lin Shuangshuang only looked confused, as she recalled that she and Meng Tao weren’t particularly close. In her previous life, although she had had a crush on him and couldn’t help but pay attention to him, she never approached him. Only after the world changed did she have brief contact with Meng Tao, and in this life, she had left school right after being reborn, without any real interaction with him. Yet Meng Tao’s tone suggested they were very familiar with each other.

Lin Shuangshuang’s bewildered expression further stung Meng Tao’s pride. Not wanting to hear anything from her that would embarrass him, he let out a cold snort. Without waiting for Lin Shuangshuang’s response, he turned and left with two supposedly close friends who had been pretending to be part of the background after seeing Lin Shuangshuang.

Lin Shuangshuang watched, bewildered, as Meng Tao greeted her only to leave without waiting for her reply. She was puzzled but quickly shrugged it off. She had no intention of dwelling on an old crush she no longer liked, as she was eager to introduce her parents to her comrades and Red Jade Doumi.

Lin Shuangshuang’s teammates were very considerate. By the time she arrived with her parents, Li Wenxuan had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes. Doumi obediently sat at the door, slightly tilting its head, putting on its cutest pose to welcome Lin Shuangshuang and its future owners.

One had to admit, although Doumi had mutated to a fearsome size, cats inherently have an advantage: as long as they pose cutely, no matter how big the cat, it can melt hearts. Like Lin Shuangshuang, Wei Min and Lin Hai, who were defenseless against cats, were instantly charmed by Doumi and adored it immensely.

With both sides intending to get along well, plus Zhang Ling, a skilled socialite, present at the dinner table, after the meal, Wei Min and Lin Hai had already bonded warmly with Lin Shuangshuang’s companions, chatting intimately.

After the meal and meeting everyone, the most daunting challenge remained: meeting Red Jade and its babies. Though mentally prepared, standing before the massive spider, whose half-leg was taller than them, Wei Min and Lin Hai’s legs still went weak involuntarily.

Fortunately, Red Jade dropped its aloof demeanor and ignored others, greeting Wei Min and Lin Hai through consciousness. Although they had already experienced this unique way of communicating with animals through Doumi, Red Jade’s ability to communicate reduced much of their fear.

After meeting Red Jade, they also looked at its babies. To avoid inducing trypophobia in Wei Min and Lin Hai, Lin Shuangshuang didn’t let Red Jade bring all its children out, only allowing three or four small spiders to be introduced. After all, all of Red Jade’s children looked alike and were indistinguishable. They just needed a chance to recognize, so they wouldn’t accidentally consider them regular spiders and kill them in the future.

Lin Shuangshuang rented a place for two months because she planned to train her parents, Mi Lu’s parents, and the people brought by Zhang Yanhong and Zhang Ling. All to ensure everyone had the survival skills they needed when venturing outside to avoid becoming easy prey for insects.

Mi Lu and her parents returned later, arriving on the second day.

With everyone gathered, Lin Shuangshuang immediately started training. She planned to begin with physical training within the base to improve everyone’s physical fitness, and then go outside the Safe Base to practice killing insects once their physique improved.

Once training began, others managed, even Lin Shuangshuang and Mi Lu’s parents endured it, but Zhang Ling, with a mind sharper than a sieve, couldn’t manage the training at all.

Every training session felt like life or death for her; while others would catch their breath after being tired, Zhang Ling would faint directly from exhaustion, and it wasn’t acted. While others tired could recover just by eating mutated creatures’ meat, for Zhang Ling, it was no more than catching her breath.

Seeing Zhang Ling’s pitiful state during each training session, initially, Lin Shuangshuang was filled with determination, thinking she must train this weakling Zhang Ling. But with Zhang Ling’s constantly near-death reactions, in the end, Lin Shuangshuang could only reluctantly give up. She was someone innately weak who couldn’t be trained.
