Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1010: Chapter 921: Queen of Terror 17

Huang Mao spoke excitedly, completely lost in his imagined ideal life, but Cheng Lin only let out a cold chuckle, completely unmoved. ”I, Cheng Lin, may not have been a good person in the past, perhaps I was a bastard who did bad things, but I am still human; I am not a beast, how can I collude with someone like you.

Besides, do you think everyone who saves others is as filthy-minded as you? My life was saved by Doctor Qin. Back then, when I was gravely ill and couldn’t afford surgery, it was Doctor Qin who covered the medical expenses and even operated on me personally.

Though I ran away without paying the medical bills back then and had no intention of repaying Doctor Qin, that was in peacetime when life wasn’t at risk. My repayment was insignificant, but now it’s the apocalypse, so I won’t allow anyone to harm Doctor Qin, and I won’t join you to become so-called superior beings—if anyone wants to touch Doctor Qin, they’ll have to step over my dead body!”

Huang Mao was jolted back to reality by Cheng Lin’s reaction. Seeing Cheng Lin hesitatingly not making a move, he became suspicious. He used to be a hooligan alongside Cheng Lin, so naturally, he knew Cheng Lin had a volatile temperament and would strike at the slightest provocation.

Now that Cheng Lin was talking so much without acting, it was obviously not in line with his character. Unable to help himself, Huang Mao squinted his eyes, suddenly sneering, ”I almost got deceived by you; with your personality, how could you listen to my nonsense for so long. If I’m not mistaken, you must have no strength left and are just putting on an act now.”

Cheng Lin’s heart sank a bit, but having mingled in society for so long, he had been in numerous fights, whether one-on-one or group brawls. The one thing that couldn’t be lacking was an aura. So despite his inner unease, Cheng Lin maintained a calm face as he looked at Huang Mao coldly and said, ”You can try to find out if I’m just putting on an act.”

Cheng Lin’s attitude made Huang Mao hesitate again, unable to determine whether Cheng Lin was genuinely weak or still had some energy left. Finally, Huang Mao picked up a stick, handed it to another hooligan beside him, and ordered, ”You, go beat Cheng Lin.”

The hooligan was dumbfounded, holding the stick Huang Mao gave him with rigid limbs. ”Boss, Cheng Lin is a superpower user. How could I be his opponent? Boss, please have mercy on me.”

Huang Mao frowned and kicked the hooligan’s leg. ”Useless thing, your boss, I, am also a superpower user. With me here, what are you afraid of? If he dares to explode, I’ll save you immediately. If you go, I’ll save you; if you don’t go, I’ll make sure you die now. You have two choices.”

Huang Mao’s superpower could be disregarded by Cheng Lin, but his underlings were another matter. Huang Mao’s superpower was strength, frighteningly strong; he could swing around objects weighing over a hundred pounds for fun. Cheng Lin could overpower Huang Mao, so he wasn’t afraid, but the two other hooligans weren’t strong enough to withstand Huang Mao’s single attack, so naturally, they dared not disobey him.

So, despite the nervousness that made his hands begin to tremble, the hooligan still firmly gripped the wooden stick, cautiously approaching Cheng Lin step by step, his eyes flashing with increasing menace.

Cheng Lin outwardly appeared calm and somber, but inside he had begun to panic. His body was now subtly trembling, not out of fear, but due to severe exhaustion. If you gave a knife to a small child, that child could kill Cheng Lin.

Just as Cheng Lin had resigned himself to fate, a fine thread seemed to whisk past in front of him. Then, neither Cheng Lin nor Qin Mei Yun saw anything clearly, but suddenly saw that Huang Mao and the still-standing hooligan had their heads severed, thudding to the ground, leaving only the hooligan who Cheng Lin had previously knocked down still rolling on the ground, having escaped the disaster.

Although the immediate threat was gone, Cheng Lin became even more tense, standing defensively in front of Qin Mei Yun and turning his head to look behind. He saw a woman dressed entirely in black standing atop the wall blocking the alley.

The woman’s black attire nearly blended into the night, and her features were indistinguishable under the moonlight. But the dangerous aura she emitted was unmistakable. Cheng Lin couldn’t discern whether the woman was friend or foe and didn’t dare move.

The woman’s attack method was baffling and eerie, killing people immediately. It was impossible to distinguish if she was good or bad. If she was here to save them, it would be great, but if not, Cheng Lin felt a wave of despair.

The new arrival was, of course, Lan Shuangshuang. Upon arriving, she had caught Huang Mao giving his grand speech, and she held off from taking action because she wanted to observe if this man, wholeheartedly protecting a woman, would waver.

The result proved that the man was commendable. The apocalypse not only revealed the darkness in human hearts but also illuminated the brilliance of human nature. When disaster strikes, the seemingly upright may become beasts, while those seen as bad people by the world might, at that moment of crisis, have the courage to act heroically.

More ordinary people would have their evil unleashed by the apocalypse, while this cruel world might also evoke their inherent goodness. Cheng Lin was undeniably a bad person, but in this cruel apocalypse, he chose to be a good person.

Lan Shuangshuang moved gracefully, jumping silently from the high wall and walked a few steps to stand before the fully alert Cheng Lin and Qin Mei Yun.

Seeing Cheng Lin full of vigilance, Lan Shuangshuang didn’t move too close to avoid agitating them, simply taking a small medical kit from her space and tossing it in front of Cheng Lin. ”If you don’t treat your injuries soon, you’ll die. No need to be so wary of me. If I had malicious intentions, you two would already be corpses by now.”

Having said that, Lan Shuangshuang didn’t bother with Cheng Lin anymore and instead went over to the other hooligan lying on the ground, who was already scared senseless and had even forgotten the pain. Seeing the big red name floating above his head with ”Level of Evil: Full, Kill!” written in big letters, her mouth twitched. This game even judged crimes, leaving her as the executioner’s executioner.

With such thoughts, Lan Shuangshuang casually killed the hooligan. She had taken swift action to kill because she saw the reason behind the red names ”Kill” above Huang Mao and the other hooligan’s heads.

With the medical kit given by Lan Shuangshuang in hand, Cheng Lin’s first reaction was not to treat his own wounds but to help Qin Mei Yun with her medication and bandaging. Qin Mei Yun’s arm had been broken by Huang Mao, and Cheng Lin wanted to help her mend it, but he didn’t have medical skills.

Luckily, Qin Mei Yun was very resilient. She asked Cheng Lin to find two wooden boards, clenched her teeth, and with his help, set her broken arm in place herself. Then she struggled to help Cheng Lin treat his wounds and apply medicine and wrap it up.

Lan Shuangshuang stood with her arms crossed, leaning against a wall, watching the two of them assist each other. It wasn’t that Lan Shuangshuang didn’t want to help; it was just that the two hadn’t fully dropped their guard against her, obviously still very tense in her presence.

It’s not really surprising. To Cheng Lin and Qin Mei Yun, Lan Shuangshuang had immediately killed the three people with Huang Mao. Although these three were deserving of death, in their hearts, Lan Shuangshuang, arriving just then, couldn’t have known that.

Yet Lan Shuangshuang killed them directly. Cheng Lin and Qin Mei Yun didn’t know that she could see the red names, so they naturally had to be cautious of someone who killed just upon arrival.
