Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 46

This time, with so many ants, Song Yuhang’s first reaction was that he could finally be satisfied by eating ant leg meat! Lin Shuangshuang’s face was expressionless, but her thoughts were similar to Song Yuhang’s. It has to be said that under the influence of Mi Lu and Li Wenxuan, everyone was unconsciously starting to turn into foodies!

Since they called Red Jade over, Lin Shuangshuang thought that now that Red Jade was awake and everyone had good skills, with Doumi and Red Jade, the two mutant beasts, intimidating the others, it should be safe to camp in this lush place. Even if something dared to court death by causing trouble, they wouldn’t succeed. So, the people Song Yuhang sent to relay the message, Lao Er and Lao Si, were to inform those staying behind to pack up the tents and join the rest of the group.

After Lao Er and Lao Si left, Song Yuhang, unable to hide his excitement, called over Lao San, Lao Wu, and Lao Liu, the ones who stayed behind, to pick out ingredients. They were to select the best meats from the insects, such as ant legs, the bladed feet of cockroaches, and the giant Lu Hua chicken, as big as a small house, that Lin Shuangshuang stumbled upon while killing insects! Who knows where this chicken came from, but it would be enough to feed everyone, including Doumi, for several days, giving them a chance to change their taste!

Over here, after preparing the ingredients they planned to eat, on Sister Hong’s side, the eggs of several locust nests were brought back, wrapped in clothes, and piled up into a small mountain.

Song Yuhang looked at Sister Hong’s group, sitting on the ground wiping sweat, with weak faces but smiles nonetheless, and said, ”If you’re really too hungry to bear it, you can eat the locust eggs raw. But I advise you not to eat too much; there will be something better to eat later. If you fill up now, you won’t be able to eat later!”

Although Song Yuhang mentioned the locust eggs, no one minded. At times like this, it’s good to have anything to eat; not eating bugs or being afraid to eat bugs doesn’t exist when faced with hunger! They only heard Song Yuhang say this thing was edible, and ignored his later mention of something better to eat.

In the face of extreme and prolonged hunger, even a feast in two seconds isn’t as tempting as a rough steamed bun that can be eaten right now!

Upon hearing that this was edible and they were allowed to eat it, even Sister Hong and Xiao Ling, who always seemed gentle and weak, immediately grabbed the locust eggs and eagerly cracked open a gap to suck them up!

When everyone had eaten to about eighty percent full, Xiao Ling was the first to stop eating and continued to caution others, ”Alright, everyone, stop eating now. We’ve been hungry too long, and eating too much suddenly will make your stomach upset. If you get sick now, there’s no doctor to help you, so control yourselves!”

As for what Xiao Ling said, Sister Hong didn’t react particularly, and the others, accustomed to following Xiao Ling’s words, put down the locust eggs even though some people’s eyes were still longingly glued to the eggs, nobody went against Xiao Ling’s advice.

Song Yuhang, who had been observing this side, turned around to look at Lin Shuangshuang and asked faintly, ”This girl, do you think she’s safe?”

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Xiao Ling who was weaving through the crowd, her head down and asking everyone something, her expression serious and earnest, quite unlike her previous timidity.

Song Yuhang frowned tightly, ”She seems very inconsistent! Could she be another Li Man?”

Lin Shuangshuang shook her head, ”I don’t know what’s going on, but these people have very low combat power, and they’re indeed starving. Moreover, did you notice? Although this girl’s actions are strange, if you think about it, she’s not pretending to be something she’s not. For example, being timid, and also being cunning since she displayed her command ability over the people around her right in front of us. Their obedience to her is more like...”

Lin Shuangshuang tilted her head and thought before spitting out a word, ”Respect!” She continued confidently, ”When these men execute the girl’s commands, they do so swiftly and without question, showing unconditional obedience. It’s more habitual obedience than the special kind of obedience a man might show a woman. Her previous behavior was probably hoping to soften me to not refuse her request by showing weakness!”

At this point, Lin Shuangshuang was speechless, a girl using the act of showing weakness against her in the way one might use against a man made her feel inexplicably complex!

”If a girl is truly frail and timid yet can make so many stronger people obey her unconditionally, then it’s only possible that she’s the smartest one in the group! The obedience those people show is not to the girl’s strength but to her wisdom!” Song Yuhang nodded, agreeing with Lin Shuangshuang’s analysis.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Sister Hong who was also surrounded by people and calmly commented, ”These two women are not simple. The leading woman has leadership abilities, and the girl has wisdom, forming a perfect combat team combination! I think the leading woman has good character, let’s observe for a while, and if possible, cultivate them to send to your base!”

Song Yuhang had a surprised look, ”How do you know we have a base?”

”I also know your base isn’t small! And it directly reports to the central government!” Lin Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows, dropping a bombshell.

Song Yuhang looked askance at Lin Shuangshuang, ”Are you acting dumb to catch the tiger? I always thought you were quite stupid!”

Lin Shuangshuang...

Can anyone have a conversation around here! Is he trying to pick a fight with her by exposing her?!

She gave Song Yuhang a disdainful look, ”Isn’t this obvious?! Dr. Ma is like a national treasure, and instead of taking him to the Capital, you brought him back with you! It’s clear you have a heavily armed safe base not weaker than the central government, otherwise, where would you get the guts to take Dr. Ma back instead of sending him to the central government?”

Lin Shuangshuang, being unusually talkative, left Song Yuhang speechless, awkwardly scratching his nose, he shifted the topic stiffly, ”So how are you going to determine if these people are trustworthy? And how can you be sure that Sister Hong will be willing to work with us?”

Lin Shuangshuang threw an even more disdainful look back, ”Isn’t that your job? This is about supplying talents to your base! Are you really lazy enough to push this onto me?!” Lin Shuangshuang looked at him with an especially incredulous gaze.

Song Yuhang ground his teeth, then after holding back for a long time, he said, ”I think you look cuter when you maintain an ice-cold, poker-faced silence!” Then he turned and walked away, feeling no longer able to continue the conversation!

After Song Yuhang left, Lin Shuangshuang looked again at the group around Sister Hong, meeting Xiao Ling’s eyes across the way, who reflexively offered a gentle, protective smile.

Lin Shuangshuang turned away, her teeth aching slightly. She’s no gentleman who pities flowers and cherishes jade. What does it mean for her to keep being approached with weak smiles and appeals for protection?!!
