CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: I’M NOT THE HOLY MOTHER IN THE APOCALYPSE 22

Lin Shuangshuang suddenly felt that if she could make these soldiers aware of the benefits of mutant organisms to the human body in advance, then would there be fewer of those perverse private bases? Wouldn’t there be so many tragedies born out of human nature?

Lin Shuangshuang wasn’t a Holy Mother, but she couldn’t just stand by and watch a tragedy about to unfold without trying to stop it when she had the power to do so!

Just as Lin Shuangshuang was recalling her past life, the soldier in the lead had already handed over a full backpack of compressed biscuits and mineral water. They didn’t carry many backpacks, and this food was a fifth of their supplies, giving it to her meant they were certainly going to go hungry.

A softness arose in Lin Shuangshuang’s heart; indeed, she still liked these soldiers! Lin Shuangshuang took out the insect eggs that Li Wenxuan had just roasted and peeled from her backpack and said calmly: "I have food."

Before the soldier in the lead could speak, the elderly man frowned with worry and said, "Girl, how can you eat things that haven’t been scientifically verified? What if something happens from eating them? You should eat these compressed biscuits instead, it’s safer."

Lin Shuangshuang sighed; this was the inertia of a rigorous scientific worker’s thinking. Everything must be scientifically verified and deemed harmless before it can be popularized.

This attitude was undoubtedly very correct, and not wrong, and it also represented this old man’s professional ethics and high moral standards, which were commendable, but it was not suitable for this mutated and unscientific world.

"Elderly sir, do you want to know why I was able to kill that mutant pig so easily?" Lin Shuangshuang did not bluntly say that eating these mutant animals was beneficial, but instead posed a question to the old man.

The old man smiled kindly: "Although your movements and physical reactions just now were a bit beyond the limits of ordinary people, I think you’ve been practicing martial arts since young, right? I’ve encountered some martial artists. Although there are few who can reach your level, there are some. Young lady’s martial arts are impressive!"

After speaking, the elder praised Lin Shuangshuang’s combat power, with the indulgent approval of an elder facing a younger person.

Lin Shuangshuang’s eyebrow twitched; she had forgotten she practiced martial arts from a young age, and to insiders or those often in contact with martial arts experts, her martial artist’s posture and momentum could easily be seen, which did not have enough persuasive power. It seemed a different approach was needed.

Lin Shuangshuang glanced at the three people gathered around the mutant pig, and finally decided to call Mi Lu over. Mi Lu wasn’t very tall, petite in stature, but her physical qualities had improved significantly through training during this time.

At this moment, under Li Wenxuan’s direction, she was sprinkling salt into the mutant pig’s blood while stirring, her eyes bright with excitement, much like a child who found something fun to play with.

When Lin Shuangshuang called her, she reluctantly put down her task and slowly made her way to Lin Shuangshuang.

"Shuangshuang, why are you calling me? I still need to help Brother Wenxuan clean the pig. This pig is too big, we can’t finish it, and thinking about the extra meat we can’t take with us makes my heart ache!" Mi Lu spoke to Lin Shuangshuang while her eyes still lingered on the mutant pig not far away.

The current Mi Lu was very different from the gloomy, silent girl in her past memories; she was full of youthful vitality, even making the typically silent Li Wenxuan much more lively under her influence!

Lin Shuangshuang lifted Mi Lu’s chin with one hand, straightening her turned head, and said: "Go kill a few insects, as many as you can!"

"Oh!" Although Mi Lu didn’t understand what Lin Shuangshuang meant, out of trust, she blinked in confusion, nodded in agreement, and drew the Willow Leaf Blade tucked at her waist before charging off!

There were no other insects in the city, but flies and mosquitoes were unavoidable, especially with Li Wenxuan killing a pig over there, attracting over a hundred mutant green bottle flies as large as human heads. Just deterred by Red Jade’s power, they dared not approach and gathered on the side.

Mi Lu rushed towards these mutant green bottle flies, swinging the Willow Leaf Blade so fast that it left afterimages. As soon as she broke in, she immediately cut two mutant green bottle flies that hadn’t reacted yet and then slashed another seven or eight as the others just started to fly away.

These mutant green bottle flies were originally unafraid of humans after mutation, but if a person could kill them, their biological instincts would automatically make them choose to flee. During the escape, Mi Lu, leaping over a meter high with great force, slashed another dozen or so until all the mutant green bottle flies fled. When finished, nearly thirty head-sized mutant green bottle flies lay around Mi Lu!

From the moment Lin Shuangshuang called Mi Lu over to kill insects to when she finished, everything happened in less than two minutes. The elderly man, initially startled by Lin Shuangshuang’s instruction, was left dumbfounded by what followed before he could voice his objections!

The first to react was Red Jade. As soon as Mi Lu finished cutting the mutant green bottle flies, Red Jade, with its eight long legs, quickly crawled over!

From the spinnerets on its abdomen, it sprayed a large amount of white spider silk and, as if wrapping cotton candy, swiftly spun all the flies into cocoons and loaded them behind its tail. Lin Shuangshuang’s mind received a wave of satisfaction from Red Jade: too much stored food to finish, which was a sweet trouble.

It was at this moment that the group, initially left in shock, came to their senses under the impact of Red Jade’s huge and hideous appearance!

However, the soldiers didn’t concern themselves with being puzzled about why Red Jade didn’t attack humans. Their thoughts were entirely focused on Mi Lu, who just performed impressively but then quickly returned to help Li Wenxuan.

Mi Lu’s display not only startled the old man but especially the soldiers, who had received stern training, learning martial arts techniques developed through nationwide research specifically for combat!

Although Mi Lu’s movements were swift and sharp, in their eyes, she was simply a person with quick reflexes and a rough grasp of basic martial arts, clearly untrained or never studied martial arts at all!

It’s known that whether a person has undergone rigorous training or studied martial arts can be discerned from their body movements, and these experts’ eyes wouldn’t make mistakes.

Yet this ordinary person had managed to easily slay the mutant insects that even they, as trained soldiers, found challenging to fight! How could they not feel shocked!

The soldiers were stunned, and the elderly man was also shocked, as seen from his accurate identification of Lin Shuangshuang as a martial artist, indicating that he had interacted with martial artists before, perhaps even masters.

The elderly man’s mind quickly turned, understanding Lin Shuangshuang’s intention in doing so. His gaze fell upon the far-off mutant pig, with a complex expression, and he said: "You’ve elevated your physique by consuming these mutated things!" While phrased as a question, his tone was confident.
