Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 75

”I heard Elder Shen personally tell me about this!” Song Yuhang also lowered his voice, ”Elder Shen said that he once carefully surveyed it under the protection of Chi Shaolong. He discovered that the intensity of this evolution seems to radiate from a point outward. The closer a creature is to this point, the stronger the mutation; the further away, the lesser the mutation, until it becomes indistinguishable from the outside world. The radiation range of this point is about three hundred miles!”

”Then can we assume that this point is a special energy carrier? The closer a creature is to this energy carrier, the more severe the mutation, and the further away, the lesser the mutation. The radiation range of this carrier is three hundred miles. The mutated creatures closest to this energy carrier, while growing stronger, are also protecting the energy carrier from being taken or destroyed!” Zhang Ling analyzed thoughtfully.

”Exactly, Elder Shen speculates the same. Moreover, Elder Shen has always intended to get this energy carrier into human hands. With the help of this energy carrier, humans could narrow the gap with other mutated creatures. But if we let this energy carrier continue to aid the external mutated creatures in evolution, it will spawn more and more specially mutated creatures, making our human situation even more difficult,” Wang Wei said, frowning with a grave expression.

”Not only that, if this energy carrier can spawn so many specially mutated creatures in such a short time, then maybe it can spawn creatures even more powerful than specially mutated creatures! Perhaps this energy carrier has already spawned something more powerful than specially mutated creatures!” Zhang Ling proposed a theory that shocked everyone even more!

”No way, can there be creatures scarier than mutated creatures in this world?”

”What kind of thing would that be?!”

”More terrifying mutated creatures appearing in such a short time feels unlikely!”

”Specially mutated creatures are already powerful; for something more powerful to appear, it kind of breaks the ecological balance and doesn’t align with the rules of biological evolution. It shouldn’t be possible, right?”

”Damn, if that’s the case, what future is left for us humans? We’d get eaten sooner or later!”

”This mission is such a scam. How can so few of us fight against so many specially mutated creatures!”

”Damn! It’s really demotivating!”

Everyone somewhat resisted this idea, rebutting it all at once. Some with lower tolerance levels started to complain, mostly ordinary people rather than the soldiers whose duty is to obey orders.

”No need to doubt; this is very likely to happen. Before the world evolved, who could have thought our world would turn out like this except in sci-fi movies? This world can no longer be explained by science, or rather, not by the science we currently know. Anything could happen, let alone the emergence of creatures more powerful than specially mutated ones,” Zhang Ling’s words shattered everyone’s wishful thinking.

”Behind us are our family, loved ones, friends, and thousands of compatriots. If we can’t solve this, the mutated creatures here will eventually spread to other places, bringing immeasurable harm to those we care about! Whether we like it or not, fearful or not, we cannot back down in this battle, nor can we retreat!” Song Yuhang rapped the table and sternly addressed the downcast crowd.

”Exactly, no matter how dangerous things are ahead, we can’t retreat, and we have no retreat. Even if we avoid it now, when this escalates uncontrollably, we’ll have to face it, and by then it will be countless times more dangerous!”

Lin Shuangshuang interlaced her fingers on her knee, calmly the first to agree with Song Yuhang’s words.

”Right, there’s nothing to fear; at most, it’s just death! In this world, living is neither human nor ghost, there’s nothing to fear in death!” Li Wenxuan was the first to support Lin Shuangshuang.

”Brother, what are you saying? Death and all, haven’t we killed enough mutated insects and animals? I don’t believe we can’t deal with a bunch of insect beasts. Isn’t it just fighting? We’ll continue cultivating and just refuse to believe we can’t handle them!”

Li Wenbo didn’t like his brother Li Wenxuan’s slightly dejected words. According to his thinking, no mutated creature or more powerful mutated creature can stop them. If they can’t fight through, they’ll become stronger through cultivation, then fight again. There’s no room for thoughts of loss before the battle; the fight should always be with a sure-win attitude!

The next day, after a hearty breakfast, everyone sat together with Elder Shen again to discuss how to solve the energy carrier issue, which is the urgent matter at hand.

However, there weren’t many good methods for this. Firstly, everyone’s power is still insufficient, and forcefully confronting it is unlikely to work. Fortunately, Lin Shuangshuang’s group integrated their superpowers pretty well through recent battles and could continue secluded cultivation.

Elder Shen’s idea was to have everyone go as close to the energy carrier as possible to cultivate, where the advancement speed would be faster!

Originally, Elder Shen wanted Chi Shaolong to take the superpower users from the research base to cultivate near the energy carrier, but with too many mutated creatures there, safety couldn’t be guaranteed, and cultivation couldn’t occur. This idea remained just that.

Now that they know Lin Shuangshuang and Song Yuhang are with a mobile safe haven that can ensure everyone’s safety, it’s just right. People can get as close as possible to the energy carrier, then cultivate safely inside the mobile safe haven until their superpowers are strong enough to go out and fight mutated creatures, then get closer to the energy carrier. When overwhelmed, they can retreat to the mobile safe haven to cultivate further, coming out stronger to continue the fight.

This approach of fighting and cultivating not only maximizes personal safety but also boosts strength, greatly increasing the chance of completing the mission, a win-win! Everyone thought this was a good idea and decided to proceed according to this plan.

The task doesn’t require many people, just a few elites, to be more flexible in advancing and retreating. Too many people would be a burden.

After careful consideration, it was decided that only Lin Shuangshuang, Li Wenxuan, Li Wenbo, Song Yuhang, and the future top master from the research base, Chi Shaolong, would go.

The rest, along with the two specially mutated, Red Jade and Ah Cai, would stay at the research base, waiting for everyone to return after completing the mission.

Before departure, Liu Ze, who came with Wang Wei, came over alone to find Lin Shuangshuang, saying he had something to say to her!
