Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 63

When everyone was feeling down, Song Yuhang’s inexplicable excitement seemed particularly conspicuous.

Even Lin Shuangshuang didn’t quite understand what Song Yuhang was excited about at first, but seeing Song Yuhang’s face full of ecstatic joy, a spark of insight suddenly flashed in Lin Shuangshuang’s mind—could it be that the thing from the Capital Base had already been developed and was being mass-produced!

The next moment, they heard Song Yuhang excitedly announcing to everyone, ”We’re saved! Previously, the Capital Base researched a very sturdy mobile safe fortress, and they have passed the manufacturing method to all the major safe bases. Now our base has finally successfully constructed the first batch of mobile safe fortresses! As long as we have the mobile safe fortress, we have a place we can safely rest! Everyone hold on a bit longer, the safe fortresses are already being distributed! They will be here soon!”

Song Yuhang’s words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly turning these people’s gloomy moods bright. Safe fortress—just hearing that name brought a sense of security.

The despair everyone felt was mainly due to the endless fighting, as humans didn’t even have a place to sleep and eat safely to recover their exhaustion, leading to despair. If there were a place where they could safely eat, rest, and sleep, human resilience would still be strong.

Everyone shook off their previous dejected states and became much more enthusiastic in fighting the bugs; even some who had been exhausted felt as if their stamina was recovering more quickly.

The mobile safe fortresses arrived quickly, transported by a large military truck.

The mobile safe fortresses were detachable, each piece about person-high and rectangular, resembling metal material. Each piece’s edge had slots that could fit together as desired, forming a completely enclosed room. Each fortress had several pieces that acted like transparent windows for light but were just as sturdy as metal, made from some unknown composite material.

The mobile safe fortress could block human signals and smells, making it so that mutant insects and animals could not sense human existence, preventing them from besieging the inside of the mobile safe fortress.

Once the parts of the mobile safe fortress were unloaded from the truck, everyone busily started assembling them with the help of those who knew how.

They first assembled the floor, then the surrounding walls, keeping the light-providing parts high, and finally fitting the roof. Each mobile safe fortress was over a thousand square meters, allowing several hundred people to move inside at once. The personal space was small, but it was safe.

Underneath the mobile safe fortress were wheels that allowed for small movements. Now the existing base couldn’t be kept secure, so all the survivors from the base moved into the safe fortress. Outside, the mutant creatures couldn’t sense human presence anymore. With no prey, they wandered briefly around the abandoned base before scattering away.

They weren’t attacking the safe bases just to oppose humans; humans were the weakest and easiest food to hunt. Now, without the scent of prey, they naturally dispersed to hunt elsewhere.

In the mobile safe fortress, people carefully observed the outside. Seeing the mutant creatures indeed retreat, they couldn’t help but quietly rejoice, some even hugging and crying, celebrating that they no longer had to constantly face life-and-death threats.

Although they still had to fight these mutant creatures, at least when they were tired, hungry, or wanted to rest, they now had a place where they could safely relax without worry of being eaten by a mutant creature in their sleep.

Life inside the mobile safe fortress was very crowded, but Lin Shuangshuang and her group were not among the crowded ones. Because her team protected the most important group of doctors and experts at the base, and Lin Shuangshuang’s combat power unknowingly became the strongest in the base, their mobile safe fortress was the largest, easily accommodating even Red Jade.

One year passed living in the mobile safe fortress until the land stopped mutating and growing. People ended their cramped lives inside the fortress and began rebuilding the abandoned safe base.

The year-long evolution ended, and there were no longer visible signs of human civilization on the vast land. The earth became broader, and the abundance of various creatures allowed humans some breathing room too, as there weren’t as many mutant creatures solely targeting the weak humans for hunting anymore.

While constructing the safe base, more good news came: humans were emerging with superpowers! The military especially boasted the most superpower users, thanks to their superior physical conditioning. The emergence of military superpower users soon checked the ambitions of many who gained superpowers but hadn’t yet had the chance to misuse them.

Lin Shuangshuang’s team had the highest number of superpower users, with Lin Shuangshuang herself gaining a powerful Thunder Ability, to her delight, because she hadn’t developed a superpower in her past life.

Mi Lu manifested a Fire Ability, joking that she no longer had to worry about having no fire for cooking when out. Li Wenbo gained a Water Ability, while Li Wenxuan’s rare ability was Space-type. Initially quite limited, only enabling storage; more powerful attacks like space folding, Space Blade, and Space Tear appeared later.

Li Wenxuan himself was quite satisfied with his Space Ability, as he could carry many items without burdening Red Jade with too much luggage.

Wei Min and Lin Hai, the couple, both awakened to Wood Element abilities. Pleased, they practiced regularly by growing flowers and plants, planning to cultivate edible mutant plants with hopes of harvesting every three days so they’d no longer have to worry about having only meat but no vegetables or rice.

Sister Hong awoke to the most aggressive ability, Gold Element Superpower. The Gold Element was the second most powerful attack ability after Thunderbolt, and could metalize parts of the body during combat, allowing free manipulation of metal shapes. This ability proved extremely useful, and when advanced enough, it could even enhance metal properties, making them harder.

Zhao Ling, the intelligent woman, surprisingly awakened to a Spiritual System power, allowing her to control others and attack their brain areas with spiritual power, a particularly insidious ability with severe invisible attacks.

Besides them, the others awakened to the Strength and Speed System, the most common form of superpower. Though weak when undeveloped, at their peak, they could become top experts, capable even of slaying superpower users. In her previous life, Lin Shuangshuang had seen several who perfected their strength and speed to such extremes.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, three months had passed since the emergence of superpower users. Humanity had fully adapted to superpower users and the fact that even mutant creatures had evolved superpowers.

The Safe Base was rebuilt; humans resumed orderly lives, taking on official missions and going outside the base to hunt mutant creatures.

Lin Shuangshuang’s Dawn Squad had now become renowned, the smallest yet strongest first squad in the base.

One morning, as everyone was having breakfast, Lin Shuangshuang and Zhang Ling were discussing plans for a more relaxing mission, then taking the opportunity to go on a trip to unwind and refresh their spirits. Wei Min, skilled in cooking, was discussing with Li Wenxuan and Mi Lu what dishes to prepare for the outing.

It was then that Song Yuhang arrived at the Dawn Squad’s location. When Lin Shuangshuang saw him, she felt uneasy; every time he came around lately, it was to issue missions, none of which were easy to complete.

Song Yuhang knew he had been a bit of a nuisance recently, but there was no choice. The upcoming mission was so challenging that only Lin Shuangshuang’s Dawn Squad could take it on.
