Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1009: Chapter 920: Queen of Terror 16

In Shuangshuang’s space, she stored many excellent items, including ready-to-eat food, as well as various seasonings and fuels. This time, Shuangshuang took out a piece of solid fuel, a unique item from the System, a product of high technology.

This solid fuel is super-concentrated—a piece the size of a fingernail can burn for more than half a day. If you ignite a piece the size of a fist, it not only burns longer but also provides warmth.

Shuangshuang used this fuel not to warm up but because it ignites easily. She scraped a little bit of the fuel’s dust onto some random branches and easily started a bonfire.

Fortunately, the weather wasn’t hot, so even such a big fire didn’t feel overwhelmingly warm. Once the fire was set, she immediately started to roast insect pincers. Although these insects looked like lobsters, their roasted taste was even better than lobster.

Using a dagger redeemed from the System, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, Shuangshuang pried open the insect’s pincers, sprinkled seasoning on the thick, white meat inside, and continued roasting it over the fire. Soon, a delicious aroma wafted through the air.

Shuangshuang couldn’t wait to take a bite. There was no strange insect taste, but it was incredibly fresh and savory, making it hard for her to stop eating. She immediately decided that during her time in this world, she must collect as many of these insects as possible.

While Shuangshuang was enjoying her meal, she heard a faint scream coming from afar, as if someone was yelling for help. During these times, Shuangshuang often encountered situations where people were screaming for help.

In such cases, Shuangshuang wasn’t stingy about helping out, since she would be killing insects anyway, and it didn’t matter where she did it. As for those she saved, she didn’t care much—she wasn’t a nanny, after all. Once she rescued someone, she wouldn’t act as their caretaker. Besides, in this world, if you don’t stand on your own feet, no amount of help from others would make a difference.

Reluctantly putting away her delicious food, Shuangshuang followed the sound to locate it. As she got closer, the cries for help grew louder—a woman’s voice was desperately shouting for help. Her voice was hoarse, carrying a heart-wrenching sense of despair.

Although the cry for help was evident, Shuangshuang couldn’t hear the characteristic mouthpart friction or wing vibrations of insects, giving her a bad feeling. This was the apocalypse, a world where human nature had collapsed. Sometimes, people were scarier than insects. Thinking this, Shuangshuang couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

Qin Mei Yun clutched her broken arm, dragging the unconscious Cheng Lin backward, but behind her was a dead-end. She and Cheng Lin had been driven to a desperate situation with no escape.

The three men across from Qin Mei Yun approached her step by step, but their pace was slow. Clearly, the three men weren’t in a hurry to do anything to Qin Mei Yun and the unconscious Cheng Lin; instead, like cats toying with mice, they watched Qin Mei Yun’s desperate struggles and cries.

The leader, a yellow-haired man, looked at Qin Mei Yun struggling to drag the unconscious Cheng Lin and couldn’t help but sneer sarcastically, ”You, Doctor Qin, have always looked down on us riff-raffs, but now you’ve changed your tune, dying yet clinging to a riff-raff.”

Qin Mei Yun looked at the three men in front of her with hatred and said bitterly, ”How could scum like you compare to Cheng Lin? Even if he was lazy and a jerk in the past, he never committed serious wrongs. He might seem irresponsible, but in times of trouble, he’s more dependable than anyone and sticks to his principles. How can heartless scum like you compare to him?”

Yellow Hair’s expression darkened as he was scolded by Qin Mei Yun, and he coldly sneered, ”Doctor Qin, your sharp tongue is even better than your medical skills. Let’s see if you can still keep your mouth hard later. Brothers, let’s give Doctor Qin a proper welcome!”

Following Yellow Hair’s words, the two men beside him displayed lecherous smiles, no longer leisurely like cats playing with mice, and quickly approached Qin Mei Yun.

Just as one of the men beside Yellow Hair reached out to grab Qin Mei Yun, the seriously injured Qin Mei Yun fiercely placed her tongue against her teeth, intending to bite her tongue to commit suicide. She would rather die than suffer humiliation from another man.

Biting one’s tongue to commit suicide is a very painful way to die, because essentially, it’s not the severed tongue that causes death, but rather the severed tongue’s base recoils back up into the throat with intense pain and spasms, blocking the airway, causing suffocation and death.

But before Qin Mei Yun could bite off her tongue, the man who was trying to grab her was punched and sent flying—a fist covered in metal and muscle sent him sprawling to the ground, curling up and completely unable to move, the power of that punch evident.

Already in despair and about to bite her tongue to end it all, Qin Mei Yun saw the wounded yet resolute man standing before her and exclaimed in surprise, ”Cheng Lin, you’re awake? It’s so good that you’re not dead.”

Cheng Lin gasped for breath, merely holding on. He looked formidable but was actually weak inside. That single strike had exhausted all his strength, unable to deliver another blow.

However, facing him, Yellow Hair clearly didn’t realize this. Knowing Cheng Lin’s might, he clenched his fists but dared not step closer. Unwilling to leave, he glared hatefully at Cheng Lin and cursed, ”Cheng Lin, you’re just a riff-raff. You think someone like Doctor Qin would fancy you, protecting her so ambitiously?

The world is already in chaos. We both have superpowers; we are inherently superior. These non-superpower individuals are meant to submit and serve us.”

Yellow Hair grew more agitated, pointing at Qin Mei Yun while glaring at Cheng Lin with a wild look, ”Cheng Lin, times have changed. Before, women like her, people of that class, looked down on us because we were considered lower tier.

But now, it’s different; we are superpower users, the superior class, while those without powers have fallen, they can be used at our whim and will.

Cheng Lin, I promise you, as long as you continue to mingle with us, we can leave Qin Mei Yun alone for now. When you’ve had enough, we’ll discuss further. The world is vast, with endless beautiful women.

We are superpower users. In the future, we’ll have countless beauties at our side. Why be so stubborn over this one woman, Qin Mei Yun? Look at yourself, so terribly injured; even if your powers are strong, mine aren’t weak. If it comes to a fight, you may not even be my match. We’ve been brothers for a while; no need to strain things too hard, isn’t it?”
