Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1054: Raising a Younger Brother in the Future 31

Speaking of this, Song Qizheng couldn’t help but shiver, recalling the previous eerie experiences; even now, Song Qizheng still felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

Enduring the lingering fear, Song Qizheng continued, ”Because so many people have disappeared, we thought about whether we should all gather together, back-to-back, so that it’s harder to get lost. Even if someone goes missing, it will be noticed immediately.

We thought this method might not be foolproof, but at the very least, we’d identify the enemy. However, something even stranger happened right in front of us.

In the blink of an eye, Yuqian and I turned our heads, and all the remaining companions had vanished!

They really disappeared in an instant! The terrifying thing is that the two of us felt nothing, and in the end, there were only Yuqian and me left out of so many people.

The two of us were terrified, immediately running away crazily, fearing that we would also be silently taken away by something unknown.

As a result, in our panicked flight, we ran headlong into the territory of the Golden Beetle Beast.

Then we were chased by the Golden Beetle Beast, finding ourselves caught in a desperate situation, with no escape, unable to advance or retreat; if it wasn’t for your help, my girlfriend and I would have died long ago.”

The experiences of Song Qizheng and Lan Yuqi were so strange that even though the sun was shining brightly now, it still made people shiver.

So many people have disappeared, this situation can’t be ignored, but Qu Shuangshuang was not arrogant to think she, who had not awakened her superpower yet, could understand what was happening and rescue those people.

The best approach now is to seek help from the safe zone and let the superpower users from the safe zone handle this situation.

Everyone leaving the safe zone carries a Communication Device linked to the safe zone. The purpose of this device is to help in sending immediate distress signals to the safe zone in case of danger.

When Song Qizheng and Lan Yuqi were desperately escaping from the Golden Beetle Beast, their Communication Devices had been lost somewhere—they were muddle-headed enough to lose even something crucial to their survival.

Qu Shuangshuang took out her Communication Device, looked down, and prepared to contact the safe zone, at the same time explaining the situation here so that they’d have an understanding before sending aid.

Who could have expected that, right as she lowered her head, Qu Shuangshuang suddenly sensed something green in her peripheral vision.

By the time Qu Shuangshuang realized something was wrong, it was already too late; Song Qizheng, Lan Yuqi, and even her friend Fan Meijie had disappeared.

Left alone on the spot, the chilling feeling crept into Qu Shuangshuang’s heart—just what was it that could snatch people away so silently, even without her noticing?

On high alert, Qu Shuangshuang quickly sent out a distress signal to the safe zone, then took out her Energy Gun and Tang Blade, staying fully vigilant.

Although what had just happened was truly terrifying, Qu Shuangshuang, experienced and knowledgeable, kept her composure despite the shock.

She didn’t blindly run or hide but began to carefully observe any differences around her. The scene’s environment was the most genuine; if she could inspect the details, she might uncover part of the truth.

Qu Shuangshuang didn’t believe there was something that could take people without leaving a trace, first suspecting the air, as an aerial attack could snatch people quietly.

However, the sky was vast and clear, without even a bird in sight. Though it was possible a mutant bird could be extraordinarily fast, no speed could make one vanish in an instant.

With half the aerial danger ruled out, Qu Shuangshuang then began to investigate the surrounding ground, first looking for drag marks.

Three adults, not weak humans, if taken from the ground, couldn’t have been without struggle; struggles would leave drag marks.

But the ground had no obvious drag marks, unwilling to give up yet, Qu Shuangshuang kept observing her surroundings and eventually noticed something small after several rounds.

In two directions, some grass showed signs of being broken. Though not much, the breaks formed a line extending forward.

Following the path of broken grass, Qu Shuangshuang took a few steps and found a leaf as big as an adult’s palm.

The leaf was wholly green; Qu Shuangshuang had memorized the mutation plants encyclopedia, guaranteeing she could recognize any mutant plant unless it was a new species.

But this leaf, Qu Shuangshuang had no idea what plant it belonged to, though she felt it was familiar, leading her to think it was not a new species.

Even straining her brain couldn’t help her recall which plant it was from until a sense of danger surged in her heart.

Instinctively, Qu Shuangshuang pulled the trigger of her Energy Gun, firing immediately, catching a glimpse of another green flash, but finding nothing behind her once again.

Yet whatever attacked her had left some traces—at the spot where Qu Shuangshuang stood, more broken grass formed a line.

Now, it was certain the danger wasn’t from the sky but the ground, and based on the green flash glimpsed earlier, the elusive entity should be a carnivorous mutant plant.

Again catching a green flash, Qu Shuangshuang fired without thinking, and once more, the attacking entity vanished.

But this time, her shot wasn’t in vain—several drops of green liquid were found on a nearby grass blade.

Qu Shuangshuang lowered her head to smell it—a sweet, fresh fragrance—a familiar taste she remembered from having just eaten Curled Vegetable at lunch.

Smelling this aroma reminded Qu Shuangshuang why the leaf seemed familiar—it was indeed a leaf of the Curled Vegetable.

Originally, Curled Vegetable’s leaves were so tiny they were negligible, just a speck adhering to the vine, appearing as little protrusions, hence people thought the vine was leafless, but in fact, it had leaves.

Yet now, those tiny leaves had grown to palm-sized, implying the vine itself must have grown enormously!

Moreover, Curled Vegetable was always a type of wild veggie that remained small, harmless to humans, so despite being a carnivorous mutant plant, it was included in the wild vegetable recipes.

For it to grow this large, Qu Shuangshuang could only think of one possibility—special mutation; special mutation is rare, one in a million.

Even spiritually intelligent Mutant Beasts rarely undergo special mutation, let alone mutant plants, which originally lack Spiritual Wisdom, having even fewer chances of special mutation.
