Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 43

Upon hearing the scream, Lin Shuangshuang and Song Yuhang exchanged a glance, then almost simultaneously ran towards the direction of the scream! Song Yuhang was a soldier, and his first reaction was always to protect the people.

Lin Shuangshuang, although not a Holy Mother, would never hesitate to help if she could when a tragedy happened before her. This world is very unfriendly to humans, and if humans do not take care of each other, they might truly be eliminated by this world.

In her past life, when Lin Shuangshuang was in Li Man’s team, people always opposed her doing such things. Li Man never outright opposed it, but he never approved either, and the team members always scolded Lin Shuangshuang as a Holy Mother.

Even though Lin Shuangshuang never wasted team resources on the people she saved, many still felt she was infringing on their interests, believing that if Lin Shuangshuang didn’t share what she acquired, they would gain.

When Lin Shuangshuang and Song Yuhang arrived at the scene of the scream, they saw about a dozen mutant ants attacking about as many people. The scream came from a woman whose thigh had been slashed open by a mutant ant.

The woman was quite tough; although her leg was severely injured, she only screamed once before remaining silent. Although her leg was immobile, she gripped a baseball bat in her hands, knocking away any mutant ants that got close! She seemed to be in good physical shape.

Behind this woman, there was a girl clutching a baseball bat tightly. The girl was trembling all over, too scared to move, relying mostly on the injured woman and several men around her for protection.

When Lin Shuangshuang and Song Yuhang arrived, the situation was already dire. Lin Shuangshuang didn’t have time to think; the Thousand Silk Entanglement beside her shot out instantly!

The Thousand Silk Entanglement flew rapidly, winding around the fragile necks of the mutant ants, swirling, and after circling the mutants surrounding the people, returned to Lin Shuangshuang’s hand.

Two seconds after the Thousand Silk Entanglement returned to Lin Shuangshuang’s hand, the mutant ants attacking the people fell headless to the ground. The strong life force of the mutant creatures caused the headless ants to struggle on the ground for a while before finally going still.

Lin Shuangshuang’s skill was incredibly impressive, stunning everyone into silence for three seconds. The first to react was Song Yuhang, who was accustomed to Lin Shuangshuang’s combat power. He couldn’t help but move forward to inspect the wounds on the mutant ants; they were clean and neat, as if sliced instantly by a sharp blade!

Song Yuhang turned back, amazed, curiously eyeing the Thousand Silk Entanglement on Lin Shuangshuang’s wrist as he exclaimed, ”Whoa! This thing looks so soft; how do you wield it so powerfully?”

Seeing Song Yuhang curious and eager to try, Lin Shuangshuang generously took the Thousand Silk Entanglement off her hand and handed it to Song Yuhang, saying, ”This thing is used with inner strength; you channel some inner strength into it and then control it to attack with inner energy!”

Song Yuhang, having learned some of Lin Shuangshuang’s inner power mantra over the past few days, had cultivated a bit of inner strength. He eagerly took the Thousand Silk Entanglement from Lin Shuangshuang and tentatively channeled half of his inner strength into it.

After absorbing Song Yuhang’s inner strength, the small blue ball at the end of the Thousand Silk Entanglement lifted weakly, not very high. Song Yuhang concentrated on gathering the remaining inner strength in his body to command it to attack. The blue ball flew out half a meter, swirling in an S-curve, then began writhing like a snake.

Song Yuhang’s face turned beet red as he angrily channeled all his inner strength into it, resulting in the Thousand Silk Entanglement suddenly jerking forward and then looping back, tying up both Song Yuhang’s hands and one of his legs.

No matter how Song Yuhang commanded it with inner strength, he couldn’t maneuver the Thousand Silk Entanglement smoothly. In the end, he exhausted his inner strength, gasping for breath while binding himself tightly, unable to untie the knots.

The teammates who followed Song Yuhang, watching him make a fool of himself and snickering, couldn’t spare time for their captain’s embarrassment and hurriedly came forward to help untangle the Thousand Silk Entanglement. The more they tried to untie it, the tighter it became, ending in a hopeless tangle.

Standing nearby with a poker face, Lin Shuangshuang secretly smiled, though no one could see it on her face. But whether it was a strong sixth sense or not, Song Yuhang felt that Lin Shuangshuang, standing expressionlessly nearby, was mocking him.

Song Yuhang, twisted and tied like a zongzi on the ground, shouted to Lin Shuangshuang in a bit of shame and anger, ”Stop watching the fun; don’t you have any team spirit? Hurry up and put this damn thing back!”

Caught in the act, Lin Shuangshuang rubbed her fingers awkwardly and stepped forward, pointing a finger at the Thousand Silk Entanglement. With a slight release of inner strength and a thought, the previously tightly bound and intractable Thousand Silk Entanglement instantly unraveled, retreating swiftly from Song Yuhang’s body and obediently coiling back around Lin Shuangshuang’s wrist!

Song Yuhang stood up from the ground, twisted his neck, and rubbed his aching arms and legs. No longer did he envy the power of Lin Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement!

Only upon using it himself did he realize how difficult it was to control! Seeing it so obedient in Lin Shuangshuang’s hands, he thought it was easy to command, but it turns out Lin Shuangshuang had remarkable talent. Comparing oneself to others really does lead to frustration!

”Uh, thank you for your help just now!”

The woman Lin Shuangshuang rescued, injured on her leg, wanted to thank her but saw that her rescuer had started playing by herself. She was stunned for a while before finally stepping forward to thank Lin Shuangshuang, her eyes brimming with admiration for Lin Shuangshuang!

She knew it was Lin Shuangshuang who saved them just now, but she couldn’t see how Lin Shuangshuang took action. She only saw Lin Shuangshuang reaching forward with a finger, and then all the mutant ants that were causing her despair were dead! It was simply too impressive and cool!

Lin Shuangshuang waved it off, just lending a hand, nothing worth mentioning. She looked down at the woman’s injured leg; being wounded in such times meant easily attracting mutant creatures and a decrease in combat effectiveness, which significantly reduced safety.

Pointing at the ants on the ground, Lin Shuangshuang suggested to the woman, ”Take these mutant ants back to eat; they’ll help your wound heal faster.”

The woman was taken aback, then hesitantly said to Lin Shuangshuang, ”But these are your prey, Benefactor; taking just one would be enough for us.”

The woman’s face was pale from malnutrition, stomach shrunken, and her eyes almost glowing blue as she looked at the mutant ants on the ground! Clearly, she hadn’t had a full meal in a long time, yet she still felt embarrassed to take more from Lin Shuangshuang, who had already saved her.

If it weren’t for desperation, this woman wouldn’t want to take even one mutant ant. There’s no reason to take from someone who saved your life, but she was simply too hungry; she hadn’t eaten her fill since the world changed!

Her home had been mostly collapsed, squeezed by wildly growing plants, and the places where food could be found had long been taken by those with more power. They, the weaker ones, could only hunt for themselves.

But humans had now fallen to the bottom of the food chain, and even ants that could previously be crushed underfoot could kill a person! Even in groups, humans rarely succeeded in catching prey, spending most of their time in hunger.

Only when luck struck could they catch an insect to stave off hunger, and when eating, everyone wished they could even chew and swallow the insect shells; they were too hungry!

”Um, sister!” The girl who had been protected by the woman stepped forward timidly, clutching the baseball bat, and looked at Lin Shuangshuang.
