Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 60

”Sister Shuangshuang, I’m here to ask for your help. If you don’t agree, I really have nowhere else to turn.” The first thing Song Yuhang did upon seeing Lin Shuangshuang was play the sympathy card, speaking pitifully, coupled with his current worn-out and exhausted appearance, which indeed made one feel a bit of sympathy.

Lin Shuangshuang sighed and sat down in front of Song Yuhang, ”We’re friends, after all. I won’t ignore you when you ask for help. No need to beat around the bush, just say it straight!”

Lin Shuangshuang’s straightforwardness, as always, made Song Yuhang feel a bit awkward. He had subconsciously used a little trickery when he came because subconsciously, Song Yuhang was still afraid that Lin Shuangshuang would reject his request. Now that Lin Shuangshuang spoke directly, he was both embarrassed and relieved, knowing that Lin Shuangshuang was agreeing to help him.

”Our base can’t be sealed off. Even though we’re trying our best to rescue, many mutant creatures have broken in. Normal people are somewhat able to protect themselves, but people like Dr. Ma Yuan, who are solely focused on academic research, can’t. They’re crucial for the country’s recovery, so I hope you can agree to help the base protect these low-combat-power but very important people.”

Lin Shuangshuang nodded, expressing understanding. She knew how crucial these researchers, who lacked combat power but conducted scientific research, were. After all, with the addition of Dr. Ma Yuan, a national treasure-level agricultural scientist, many edible mutant plants that hadn’t been discovered in her previous life were found within a short period.

”Alright, I agree to this matter.”

Lin Shuangshuang’s response was swift and decisive. Although Song Yuhang had expected Lin Shuangshuang to agree, it wasn’t until he heard her say it himself that his heart settled with a sense of relief and gratitude.

Time was of the essence. Since she promised Song Yuhang to protect these scientists and experts, Lin Shuangshuang immediately called everyone to dismantle the tents and pack the camp, heading to the residence of these scientists and experts.

Song Yuhang came by car, as the base had roads that allowed driving, although many cracks had already formed on the road surface, they could still barely drive.

However, Lin Shuangshuang had the more convenient Red Jade than a car, so everyone rode on Red Jade’s back, followed Song Yuhang’s car, and after several twists and turns, they arrived at a place filled with military tents.

Even though the place wasn’t indoors, it was guarded by many soldiers. The scattered tents were formed into a camp, with patrols inside and out, appearing very strict.

Outside the tents, you could see about a dozen giant mutant dogs, seemingly military dogs. They all looked majestic and were very disciplined, quietly staying in the camp rather than running wild.

Walking through, Lin Shuangshuang discovered that each of these tents was quite large, presumably able to accommodate twenty or thirty people. Judging by the sounds, there were quite a few people in each tent, indeed indicating shared living quarters.

Song Yuhang led Lin Shuangshuang and her companions to a tent closer to the center, which seemed larger. Inside, they saw the familiar face of Ma Yuan, along with his assistant Liu Song, and seven or eight elderly and middle-aged people who appeared very distinguished. In addition to these people, there were also several fully armed soldiers in camouflage uniforms, familiar faces, part of Song Yuhang’s team. They were the best fighters in the base and were assigned to protect the most important scientists and experts like Ma Yuan.

Seeing familiar faces, there was initially a sense of joy about catching up, but Lin Shuangshuang keenly sensed something was amiss. She felt an unusual tremor under her feet, a noise very subtle that required careful attention to notice. However, with Lin Shuangshuang’s deep cultivation, she quickly detected this slight tremor.

Almost instantly, Lin Shuangshuang thought of many insects that could only live underground. Her face changed, and without time to explain, she loudly shouted, ”There are bugs in the ground below! Everyone, hurry onto Red Jade’s back!”

After yelling, Lin Shuangshuang didn’t wait for everyone to react. She directly used the Thousand Silk Entanglement to lift Ma Yuan and the powerless scientists onto Red Jade’s back. Being suddenly thrown high and onto the terrifying back of a giant spider, these scientists, except for Ma Yuan, screamed in fright and huddled together in terror on Red Jade’s back.

Perhaps sensing the prey above had discovered them, the mutant bugs underground no longer concealed their presence. The ground began to shake, and the pavement, newly laid with concrete, trembled as if something was about to break through the surface.

This was no illusion; the ground indeed bulged, and a massive red bug emerged, its size like a millstone, presumably its head, followed by a long body.

The mutant bug’s appearance was rather disgusting, even for Lin Shuangshuang, who had seen many mutant insects. The bug’s entire body was a maroon color, devoid of any hair, fleshy, its skin thin and nearly transparent, with a soft and sticky texture.

Lin Shuangshuang reflexively shot the Thousand Silk Entanglement out, wrapping it around the bug, and tightened forcefully. The bug was instantly split in half by Lin Shuangshuang, yet it seemed the bug felt no pain, as the severed bodies continued to wriggle out of the ground.

As soon as the mutant bug emerged, it began attacking everyone. Fortunately, the bug’s attacks were very single-dimensional, relying on its ability to survive dismemberment and using its massive size to crush humans, although its movements were not nimble.

Lin Shuangshuang tentatively continued to dismember the mutant bug, confirming that if it was cut into too many pieces, this bug would indeed die. This discovery brought some relief to everyone; as long as it wasn’t unkillable, it was manageable.

However, the problem was that besides this mutant bug, many others were continuously crawling out from underground. Due to the large size of these mutants and the limited space, others’ weapons were challenging to wield. They had to rely on Lin Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement, Doumi’s teeth and claws, and Red Jade’s silk and sharp legs to sever and kill the bugs.

While Lin Shuangshuang was busy slaughtering the mutant bugs with Red Jade and Doumi, one elderly scientist, who had been seeking refuge on Red Jade’s back, failed to hold on due to Red Jade’s large movements. He rolled off Red Jade’s side and fell down, right in front of a giant mutant bug!
