Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1014: Chapter 925: Queen of Terror 21

When facing those bugs earlier, these soldiers were confident they could charge out with determination. But when faced with this unknown and dangerous creature, they had no certainty of escaping safely.

The soldiers felt somewhat heavy-hearted, but none were afraid, and none gave up. They would fight until the very last moment without ever admitting defeat, embodying the spirit and belief of soldiers.

While the soldiers were on full alert, the threads in front of them suddenly disappeared with a swish. As the threads vanished, these soldiers who had been staring at them finally noticed Lan Shuangshuang sitting on the roof of a nearby off-road vehicle, manipulating the threads.

A circle of threads was wrapped around Lan Shuangshuang’s alabaster, slender wrist like a bracelet. Realizing the threads were controlled by a person, the soldiers relaxed. Since the one controlling the threads had just killed the bugs and swiftly retracted the threads, it was apparent they were not an enemy.

Regarding Lan Shuangshuang using threads as a weapon, as the army known for the best physical qualities and most superpower users, they had seen all kinds of peculiar abilities. Controlling threads as a weapon was nothing special, and clearly, these soldiers automatically assumed Thousand Silk Entanglement to be Lan Shuangshuang’s superpower.

One soldier, bronze-skinned, handsome and rugged-looking, obviously the leader, stepped forward to thank Lan Shuangshuang, ”Miss, thank you for helping us out just now. Without your assistance, we would have suffered many casualties.”

Lan Shuangshuang smiled slightly and jokingly said, ”It’s nothing, they say soldiers are the most lovable people, how could I bear to see the most lovable people get hurt?”

As soon as she spoke, even Lan Shuangshuang was startled by herself because the words were quite teasing. She was never someone who would tease others. In an instant, Lan Shuangshuang put the blame on the original infatuated Lan Shuangshuang.

Surely she was influenced by the previous Lan Shuangshuang’s personality. She refused to admit that she was someone with such mischievous tastes. Regardless of her inner regret, the words were already said and could not be taken back, so Lan Shuangshuang could only continue to smile.

As for the soldiers teased by Lan Shuangshuang, many of their faces turned red; being called the most lovable people was genuinely a bit shy-making. The bronze handsome soldier directly teased turned red and awkwardly cleared his throat.

He had never encountered someone teasing soldiers face-to-face, and given that she had just saved them, there was surely no malice involved. He could only pretend not to understand and change the topic, ”I’m Captain Pan Ziping from the Special Action Squad. May I know your name, Miss? I see your superpower is strong; would you be interested in joining our army?”

”My name is Lan Shuangshuang. I appreciate Captain Pan’s kind offer, but I’m used to a more laid-back lifestyle. If I joined the army, I might disrupt the stern atmosphere. However, I have a favorable impression of your army. If Captain Pan needs my help, you can find me at the nearby maximum-security prison where I reside.”

The maximum-security prison, Pan Ziping knew of this place. Indeed, it was robust enough and a good location. Although it is considered national property, at this chaotic time, the nation is busy rescuing people and establishing safety zones, and they temporarily cannot manage this.

Pan Ziping led his men into the city to retrieve a set of precious instruments to bring to the newly established safe zone. The army had previously come to the city to take away batches of survivors, but at the time, Lan Shuangshuang was sleeping during the day and hunting bugs at night, thus missing the encounters. Due to many being rescued by the army, the city’s population had dwindled.

This time encountering Pan Ziping and his soldiers, Lan Shuangshuang contemplated momentarily and decided to accompany them to escort them to the safe zone, preventing them from being snatched by bugs midway. Soldiers have excellent physical fitness and are potential superpower users; losing one is a great loss, and Lan Shuangshuang intends to preserve them.

The newly built safe zone by the army is in the suburbs, adopting a fully enclosed method, with massive high walls and special glass covering the top. Due to haste, only the walls and the glass on top are completed to guard against bug attacks, but internally everything is under construction, with tents and huts filled and bustling with people working, both soldiers and civilians.

With superpower users assisting, construction proceeds quickly, especially those with power systems, moving bricks and compacting roads even more effectively than a steamroller. Without superpower users’ assistance, the safe zone would not have been established so swiftly. Those who obediently follow orders are mostly soldiers, although some are civilians, but very few.

The main issue is civilians cannot adapt to the constraints of military discipline, cannot perfectly execute commands, and poor cooperation can slow down work; therefore, civilians only handle construction inside the safe zone, while the most crucial zones like walls and rooftops are managed by the army to expedite completion.

Lan Shuangshuang did not enter the safe zone, merely completed registration, surrendered a large amount of supplies, and arranged to reserve the best location for a future house, though it’s still under construction and cannot be seen yet.

When departing, Lan Shuangshuang summarized all bug attack methods and weaknesses, identifying the most vulnerable parts, into a booklet, handing it to Pan Ziping in hopes of boosting the army’s survival rate.

Afterwards, Lan Shuangshuang left but did not go far, instead slaying bugs around the safe zone. Given the zone is under construction, it is designed to encompass the inner areas for urgent population accommodation, but an outer perimeter is also planned. However, soldiers battling while building will suffer greater losses.

Lan Shuangshuang now assists in clearing bugs to reduce soldier casualties, extending Thousand Silk Entanglement to the fullest, swiftly harvesting bugs, leaving insect corpses everywhere she went.

Nevertheless, after killing bugs, there were many edible bugs, and Lan Shuangshuang felt it a waste to just leave them be. She wasn’t interested in anything but the claw meat from Clawed Worms. Although other bug meat was tasty, Lan Shuangshuang preferred Clawed Worm, preferring not whatever was left.

Finally, after much deliberation, Lan Shuangshuang collected the bugs with her space ability and dumped them outside the safe zone, as there were plenty of space ability users in the army, so she did not mind exposing her space abilities.

Of course, daily insect hills, these freshly killed bugs were proof enough of Lan Shuangshuang’s power, and nobody would dare foolishly oppose her.
