Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 65

In the kitchen, Wei Min and Lin Hai were both lost in thought, steam steadily rising from the pot, yet neither of them reacted, simply staring into the distance with worried expressions on their faces.

When Lin Shuangshuang entered, Wei Min pressed her lips together, lowered her head, and busied herself with washing a bowl under the tap, refusing to glance at Lin Shuangshuang.

Lin Hai, Lin Shuangshuang’s father, sighed, walked over, and patted Lin Shuangshuang’s shoulder as if she was a boy. ”My daughter is outstanding, even better than any man. I’m proud of you. Go ahead and do what you want to do, I will always support you.” With that, Lin Hai left the kitchen, leaving the space to Lin Shuangshuang and Wei Min.

”Mom!” Lin Shuangshuang called out awkwardly but didn’t know what to say. Her daughter was going to do something life-threatening, and naturally, as a mother, she would be reluctant. Lin Shuangshuang didn’t know how to comfort her mother.

But Wei Min came to terms with it herself and spoke up, ”You don’t need to explain; I understand you. Do what you feel is right, but be sure to protect yourself. Come back safe and sound. Don’t worry about your father and me, we will take care of ourselves.”

Wei Min didn’t mention wanting to follow. She knew her limited abilities wouldn’t be of help, and following would only cause trouble for her daughter. In a real fight, her safety would be a burden, even risking Lin Shuangshuang’s safety.

Rarely adopting the demeanor of a little girl, Lin Shuangshuang hugged Wei Min’s waist, resting her head on Wei Min’s shoulder and acted spoiled for a while, until Doumi shoved its big head between them, forcing them apart. The mother and daughter laughed as they messed up Doumi’s fur.

This time, the team going from the base included Lin Shuangshuang, Li Wenxuan, Li Wenbo, and Zhang Ling, along with Red Jade. Additionally, Song Yuhang and his teammates, and about twenty well-trained soldiers from the Capital Base, including five men and two women who exuded powerful auras as superpower users, were also involved. To Lin Shuangshuang’s surprise, two of these superpower users were actually acquaintances, Liu Ze and Fang Lei, former subordinates of Li Man.

Upon abruptly seeing Lin Shuangshuang, Liu Ze and Fang Lei displayed a hint of embarrassment, but seeing Lin Shuangshuang’s gaze as calm as water, clearly not intending to confront them or show any sign of recognition, they felt somewhat relieved.

Li Wenxuan and Li Wenbo were initially indignant, but seeing Lin Shuangshuang’s calm and indifferent demeanor as if looking at strangers, their anger inexplicably subsided.

However, everyone, including those from Song Yuhang’s side who recognized the pair, was puzzled about why Li Man wasn’t with them. Although puzzled, no one mentioned it.

The leader of this base was Song Yuhang, while the leader from the Capital Base was also military, a man with a somewhat roguish air named Wang Wei. He was handsome, but his personality was unknown due to lack of interaction.

Song Yuhang and Wang Wei apparently knew each other previously, so after meeting, they greeted each other and exchanged friendly fist bumps, obviously on good terms, and then briefly introduced their respective team members to each other.

However, Lin Shuangshuang couldn’t focus on meeting the others because all her attention was captured by a large, colorful and vibrant parrot no less impressive than Red Jade.

”Beauty! Beauty! How about making a friend? Hey, beauty over there, look over here, look over here, there’s a handsome guy here...”

Yes, this beautifully colored parrot was flirting with Lin Shuangshuang, even singing to her at the end, leaving Lin Shuangshuang unsure how to react. Yet, she didn’t feel annoyed, rather found it somewhat amusing.

The parrot’s owner was a delicate-looking young soldier, whose face was bright red with embarrassment. He kept explaining to Lin Shuangshuang, ”I really didn’t teach it to say these things! I’m not good at flirting with girls! I’ve never taken it to flirt with girls! And I’m not someone who likes to flirt with girls either...”

The young soldier explained quickly and anxiously, his words filled with helplessness, and eventually wore a look of frustration, making it clear this was not his first time in such a situation.

Unfortunately, the beautiful parrot was entirely oblivious to its owner’s distress. It had finished its song and then pulled out a flower from beneath its feathers, presenting it to Lin Shuangshuang with big eyes still teasing her, ”Beauty, here’s a flower for you. You are even more beautiful than a flower! Your beauty has left me captivated and entranced.”

Lin Shuangshuang reluctantly accepted the flower from the parrot’s beak—this was the first time she had been flirted with by a bird, and it was truly an indescribable feeling.

The parrot was delighted when Lin Shuangshuang accepted its flower, flapping its wings and flying in a circle in the sky before landing again. It sang another love song to Lin Shuangshuang, while its owner covered his face, utterly embarrassed, because everyone on Lin Shuangshuang’s side looked at him with a particular expression, obviously considering that his bird’s flirtatiousness had to be due to his own improper behavior, disregarding his previous explanations as mere noise.

They knew this would happen! Heaven knows, as a soldier, he does nothing but train every day and has no time to teach it such things. Although he owned the bird, it was pretty much left to its own devices around the camp as if it were wild. This flirting talent was entirely self-taught by the parrot! It really hadn’t learned it from him! He was wronged!

With the parrot flirting with Lin Shuangshuang, everyone had a good laugh, inadvertently bringing them closer. During the subsequent exchange of information, the atmosphere was harmonious. On Song Yuhang’s side, Li Wenxuan was a Space Ability User, and Wang Wei’s side also had one. After some deliberation, they decided all supplies and weapons, except for what was on their persons, would be stored in the space, and everyone would travel on Red Jade’s back. The colorful parrot that flirted with Lin Shuangshuang continued to fly high above, scanning for potential dangers and helping guide the team to prevent them from losing their way during the journey.

Time was of the essence. After finalizing all travel arrangements, everyone climbed onto Red Jade’s back and immediately set off.

The southern tropical jungle region was quite a distance away, and after the second evolution of the world, the route’s distance was unknown, and it was unclear what changes had occurred there.

Wang Wei had a satellite map to relatively observe the location of the altered tropical jungle. Nowadays, with the great changes across the land, the geography experts in the Capital could only determine the locations of abnormal mutations through a combination of observation and guesswork.
