Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 84

”Actually, Li Man’s scheme isn’t too hard to understand. What she relies on is probably that thing that can drive away mutant creatures. Now we have the upper hand because we know she has this thing, so we can deduce that her teammates are not dead, and thus understand her general plot. But Li Man doesn’t know that we know her trump card, and that’s our chance.”

Zhang Ling said this with a particularly meaningful smile, ”And don’t you think that when we didn’t know, Li Man’s plan, although simple, was quite terrifying? But now that we know, her plan not only becomes completely ineffective, it even gives us a great opportunity!”

”What great opportunity!” Zhang Ling paused after mentioning the great opportunity, and the impatient Li Wenbo couldn’t help but urge her aloud.

Zhang Ling’s smile became even gentler. In a soft voice, she whispered, ”An opportunity to settle scores for previous matters and make her stay here forever!”

Everyone understood the meaning behind Zhang Ling’s words, and no one opposed it. Lin Shuangshuang would be the first not to oppose it. She couldn’t wait to kill Li Man. Song Yuhang, Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenbo wouldn’t oppose it either. The first two were so terrified of Li Man, who could scheme against you for profit at any moment, that they wished she would disappear from the world immediately. The latter held a long-standing grudge over previous matters!

As for Chi Shaolong, he hadn’t said anything, so it was unclear what he was thinking. However, since he didn’t oppose, Lin Shuangshuang and the others ignored his opinion and gathered to discuss a countermeasure.

Actually, there wasn’t much of a plan, just going along with it and letting Li Man lead them to the potentially powerful mutant creature.

The reason is simple. Since it’s the most powerful mutant creature, it must be guarding the energy stone. If they want to take the energy stone, they will inevitably have to face this mutant creature. Instead of wandering around and draining their strength, it would be better to confront it directly under Li Man’s leadership when they are full of stamina, which increases their chances of winning.

As for Li Man and that Jia Shuyi, Monkey was secretively keeping an eye on them during this time. With Monkey’s excellent hiding skills, if Li Man wanted to contact her teammates, she probably couldn’t hide it from Monkey. At that time, they would locate Li Man’s teammates and take them out first!

If those people truly set an ambush, their plan would also be to calculate and take out our people in order to seize the energy stone. Therefore, whether it was Song Yuhang, Li Wenxuan, Li Wenbo, Chi Shaolong, or Lin Shuangshuang, none opposed Zhang Ling’s decision to eliminate them.

With the plan settled, Lin Shuangshuang opened the door to the mobile safe fortress, nodded to Li Man, who approached with Jia Shuyi, and concisely said, ”We’ve discussed it and agreed to your request.”

Li Man smiled lightly, her smile infinitely gentle. Everyone couldn’t help but look at Zhang Ling when this smile appeared, because the two women resembled each other so much! Seeing one made them inevitably think of the other.

Since they accepted Li Man, they naturally let her enter the mobile safe fortress. As everyone expected, Li Man said her teammates were all killed by mutant creatures while trying to seize the energy stone. Only she and Jia Shuyi escaped and luckily encountered Lin Shuangshuang and the others.

Li Man also talked in detail about the formidable special mutant creatures around the energy stone, explaining that these were several times more powerful than the outer special mutant creatures, and elaborated on their combat methods, appearing very sincere. However, she didn’t mention whether there were any creatures near the energy stone that exceeded the Level of special mutation!

After teaming up with Li Man, the group’s activities became somewhat less smooth. Mainly because they knew Li Man’s calculations and true nature, even if Li Man appeared agreeable and made people feel as if bathed in spring breeze, they still couldn’t fully relax.

Moreover, based on Lin Shuangshuang’s observations, Li Man seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally pleasing Chi Shaolong!

The trigger was when everyone encountered an extremely wide river during their journey. Nobody knew the river’s name. After the second great evolution of heaven and earth, not only did the land become larger, but many rivers and lakes appeared. According to what Wang Wei previously said, the Capital Base’s satellite once detected a gigantic freshwater sea in the interior, which should actually be a lake that had expanded.

Of course, this was none of Lin Shuangshuang’s business. When she saw this river, her first thought was that her Doumi hadn’t had fish for a long time, and Doumi had been restless when she was left alone at home. She needed to catch some fish as a gift for Doumi.

Thus, everyone spent the entire day catching fish at Lin Shuangshuang’s request! The river was big enough, and so were the fish, ranging from over ten meters to a few meters. Lin Shuangshuang caught a huge pile, and after everyone cleaned the fish for a whole day, they enjoyed a grilled fish feast at night.

During the barbecue, everyone ate fish, but Chi Shaolong grilled a piece of previous dried meat for himself and didn’t eat the fish. Everyone thought Chi Shaolong didn’t like fish, so they didn’t give it much thought. Li Wenxuan even enthusiastically helped Chi Shaolong cook the grilled meat nicely, making it look, smell, and taste great!

Only Li Man meticulously removed all the bones from a piece of fish, placed it on a leaf, and offered it to Chi Shaolong with a gentle smile, ”Brother Chi, I’ve removed all the bones from this piece of fish. Would you like to try it? It tastes quite nice, different from grilled meat!”

Chi Shaolong glanced at the piece of fish on the leaf in Li Man’s hand, a faintly fragrant piece grilled to perfection, and gave a light nod, taking it with his hand. His attitude, however, was quite cold. Li Man didn’t mind, continuing to pick out bones from another piece of grilled fish to place beside Chi Shaolong.

Li Man did this very naturally, but Lin Shuangshuang knew that Li Man was pleasing Chi Shaolong. In her previous life, Chi Shaolong had a well-known habit: he loved fish but wasn’t good at picking out bones. So if no one helped him remove the bones, he could only stare at the fish.

Lin Shuangshuang wasn’t surprised that Li Man knew Chi Shaolong’s habits and took the initiative to please him, as Li Man was reborn. It would have been surprising if she didn’t. What puzzled Lin Shuangshuang was Zhang Ling actively getting close to Jia Shuyi!

Busy pleasing Chi Shaolong, Li Man didn’t notice that Jia Shuyi and Zhang Ling were having a pleasant conversation.

Jia Shuyi was tall and handsome, smiling warmly and charismatically like a big brother, while Zhang Ling smiled playfully and adorably, like the sweet and cute girl next door.

At that moment, Zhang Ling was smiling and talking with Jia Shuyi, occasionally causing Jia Shuyi to show a bright, sunny smile. He even helped Zhang Ling carefully remove the bones from a piece of grilled fish and handed it to her.

Taking the piece of fish, Zhang Ling slightly turned her face, smiling with a mix of shyness and playfulness as she said something, causing Jia Shuyi to laugh again. Together, they looked like a beautiful youthful picture that made you want to smile from the heart!

Of course, Lin Shuangshuang didn’t feel like smiling from the heart. She had only one feeling: Zhang Ling was plotting something through Jia Shuyi!

Bang!

As Lin Shuangshuang was contemplating what Zhang Ling was plotting, she was startled by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground nearby, turning her head!
