Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 57

The time spent training passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. During this period, everyone went outside the Safe Base countless times to train. They all learned the mantra to operate the Inner Strength taught by Lin Shuangshuang, ensuring that they could cultivate independently without making mistakes. This greatly increased everyone’s Combat Power, except of course for the weak Zhang Ling.

Lin Shuangshuang once took the Qingque Sword to look for her master, wanting to hand it over, but couldn’t find him. Later, she heard from an acquaintance that it seemed her master had accidentally died during an outing after the world’s mutation event.

Learning this news left Lin Shuangshuang somewhat surprised and quite sad. Although she didn’t have the traditional master-pupil bond with her master, he treated her well. Losing someone she was once familiar with in this way left her feeling down for a long time.

With the powerful weapon Thousand Silk Entanglement in her hands, Lin Shuangshuang found herself using the Qingque Sword less frequently. Mi Lu, who had always envied this cool-looking Qingque Sword, received it from Lin Shuangshuang as a gift.

As the lease period for the house ended, Lin Shuangshuang decided to take everyone to Song Yuhang’s base. While the Capital Base was very safe and the vermin outside were largely cleared, for those in dire need of safety, this place was like a mortal paradise. But for those wanting to improve their strength, this place only wasted their fighting spirit. Without danger, there can be no progress.

When Lin Shuangshuang left, the Capital Base had already begun consuming mutated insects and animals. It seemed that Song Yuhang’s group had a fast pace.

After entering the Capital Base, spending two months, and leaving efficiently, Lin Shuangshuang was unaware that her arrival and departure had caused quite a stir among the major forces in the Capital Base.

Lin Shuangshuang thought she was only passing through the Capital Base, entering to find her parents, cultivating to grow stronger, and then leaving immediately. However, her presence meant the introduction of a powerful force among the forces within the Capital Base.

At that time, people either hadn’t eaten mutated creatures or had just started, so their body strength wasn’t strong. The power a force relied on, aside from guns, was the ability to have mutated pets.

Lin Shuangshuang had Doumi and the intimidating Red Jade as pets, which posed a significant threat to many major forces in the base, not to mention the smaller, weaker forces.

Everyone initially thought Lin Shuangshuang’s arrival would cause a major reshuffle among the forces within the Capital Base. Surprisingly, Lin Shuangshuang stayed motionless in her territory after entering the base, only going out to kill bugs, never interacting with any forces, leaving many people baffled, opting to wait and see since they couldn’t understand her intentions.

No one thought Lin Shuangshuang would play it safe. Observing the team she led, it was clear they couldn’t be underestimated. Many people now believed Lin Shuangshuang had grand ambitions, and everyone remained on edge.

But unexpectedly, the person who had kept them tense for two months actually only passed through the Capital Base, stayed for two months, and then left with all her belongings!

Upon hearing this news, all the tense and guarded individuals were dumbfounded, both relieved and inexplicably embarrassed. They had treated her presence as a major threat, only to find that she hadn’t even paid them any attention, resulting in an awkward case of misplaced intentions.

The turmoil left behind didn’t concern Lin Shuangshuang, who was now most concerned about everyone’s Combat Power.

To hasten everyone’s improvement, Lin Shuangshuang took her time on the road, allowing everyone to train as they went, honing their fighting skills through combat with mutated creatures.

Lin Shuangshuang understood clearly that even with Song Yuhang’s forces as support, they needed to stand on their own to be truly established. Ultimately, they needed to rely on themselves.

Nearing Song Yuhang’s base, the group passed by a rather wide yet unnamed river.

It was approaching nightfall, and everyone was tired after an entire day’s journey, especially since they hadn’t had a proper wash in three or four days. Lin Shuangshuang decided that they should rest here, have a good wash, enjoy a proper meal, and then get a good night’s sleep so they would be refreshed for the final stretch to Song Yuhang’s base.

There was no problem with finding food; they selected the best parts from the prey they hunted along the way to prepare their meals.

To eat sooner, everyone set to work, helping Li Wenxuan chop wood, start a fire, boil water, and prepare the game.

Meanwhile, the excited Doumi, who was always thrilled to see a river, brazenly perched on Red Jade’s head, commanding it to use its long, sharp legs to catch fish.

Except when vying for attention from Lin Shuangshuang, Red Jade was almost always compliant with Doumi. Now, it crawled to the riverbank without complaint, helping Doumi catch fish as it directed. Doumi, perched on its head, would let out a ”meow” when it spotted fish, prompting Red Jade to swing its long legs and flip one large fish after another onto the shore.

A swarm of small spiders scurried around, but none wandered too far. Upon seeing fish knocked ashore by their mother Red Jade, they swarmed over, crunching through several fish, devouring bones and scales alike. Then, perhaps finding fish less tasty than insects, they stopped eating.

Doumi, the furry child, was not possessive of its food. Although it liked the fish, it didn’t mind the little spiders eating them. It only watched with excitement, focusing on Red Jade catching fish for it.

Amidst this relaxed atmosphere, Lin Shuangshuang suddenly sensed a large group of people approaching. She couldn’t help but frown. In times like these, encountering people outside wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Human intentions are unpredictable, and there was no way to know whether the approaching people were good or bad.

Lin Shuangshuang could only remind everyone around her to be cautious and vigilant as people were coming. She also called Zhang Ling to her side, partly because Zhang Ling’s Combat Power was too low, leaving Lin Shuangshuang uneasy if she wasn’t nearby, and also because Zhang Ling had a good mind and could help analyze if the approaching people were friend or foe.

As the sound of the approaching people grew louder, a group of dozens of people appeared before them. However, the first thing everyone noticed was not the people, but a team of over twenty mutated horses, each at least three meters high. Each mutant horse’s back was loaded with several sturdy bags, bulging with unknown contents.
