CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 118: I’M NOT THE HOLY MOTHER IN THE APOCALYPSE 24

Outside, due to Red Jade, no insects dared to linger nearby. The only bold group of mutant green bottle flies had been tormented by Mi Lu so much that they only dared to watch from afar. This space had temporarily become safe.

These people dared to come out because there were no insects nearby. However, even though they emerged from their houses, they only dared to watch from afar, drooling at the aroma, but no one dared to approach.

The moment Lin Shuangshuang killed a mutant pig, everyone had seen her performance through the windows. They were already wary of her combat power, added to which was her cold and distant demeanor. They weren’t sure if she was good-natured.

If they got too close and accidentally angered Lin Shuangshuang, she might swing her sword at them, and there’d be nowhere to appeal for justice. The policemen, tasked with maintaining order and protecting the common people, were most likely overwhelmed themselves.

If Lin Shuangshuang knew what they were thinking...

She wouldn’t really feel anything, at most just be speechless. She wasn’t some lunatic or a killing maniac who’d slaughter people for fun out of anger.

However, seeing a bunch of people sneaking shy glances and swallowing their saliva wasn’t a pleasant experience. Eating while being watched made Lin Shuangshuang uncomfortable. Witnessing the suffering of others inevitably evokes a sense of mourning over brethren, though excluding those too twisted to be considered human.

Don’t think it was easy for her to make food. For regular people who couldn’t even touch the edge of insects, even with meat all over the place, they couldn’t get any. Moreover, though there were many insect eggs, the places where insects laid eggs were secretive. Without knowledge of the insects’ habits, they couldn’t be found at all.

As for plants, although they hadn’t evolved offensive functions, due to mutant growth, many plants that were once recognizable were now unidentifiable. No one could ascertain what was edible and what was poisonous and inedible.

Anyhow, Li Wenxuan had already kicked down some meat for them to eat, and the rest was intended for the people here. Lin Shuangshuang shouted towards them, "If you want to eat meat, prepare a knife and container, line up over there, and cut the meat yourself." After thinking about it, Lin Shuangshuang added, "No grabbing or taking too much, divide it based on the number of people!"

The people didn’t expect such a good thing to happen, and they immediately became excited, almost instantly turning around and rushing back to their stores. Soon, more people came out with various knives and pots, and some even carried a large, colorful ceramic basin that was clearly a selling item. Everyone had the same goal, to head straight for the mutant pig that still had more than half of its meat left.

For some reason, Lin Shuangshuang’s threat level was greater than that of Red Jade, a spider as big as a room. Although these people were eager, they were more cautious and respectful when passing by her than when passing by Red Jade. Everyone would bow and thank her before quickly skirting by.

By the time Lin Shuangshuang and the soldiers had finished their meal, those people had already divided up the entire mutant pig, leaving not even the skin. Then they carried the meat back along the edge to their respective shops.

Seeing these people’s behavior, Lin Shuangshuang felt a bit helpless. In her previous life, she had been trapped by Li Man and her admirers, resulting in a notorious reputation, disliked by people and avoided like the plague, though it was partly her fault for being too withdrawn and unable to handle social relationships. However, even at her most unlikable moment, it was only a specific group of people who disliked her, and she could still coexist peacefully with others.

Who knew that after being reborn, she’d turn into a Living Yama! Instead of being hated, she became someone everyone feared!

In her memory, this kind of treatment was always reserved for those with bizarre, cruel hobbies among the high-ranking personnel in private bases!

Lin Shuangshuang felt extremely frustrated, but alas, after her rebirth, her facial expressions got fewer and fewer, with a tendency towards becoming stone-faced, leading to no one noticing her frustration!

Having been accustomed to a world full of strong individuals in her previous life, where she was one of them, Lin Shuangshuang didn’t realize that even though she considered herself weak after being reborn, in others’ eyes, she was unbelievably strong!

She could tame a giant, room-sized venomous spider! She could kill a nearly one-story-tall mutant pig in a single blow! In the eyes of these ordinary people, who hadn’t evolved physically at all, Lin Shuangshuang was like a character from a two-dimensional world!

Their behavior, rather than fear, was more an unconscious submission and respectful admiration towards a strong person! These feelings carried no negative emotions.

Lin Shuangshuang only pondered briefly before letting it go. She didn’t care about others’ opinions, her biggest goal in this life was to become strong!

As long as she could become as powerful as the top experts in her previous life, able to move freely in this mutated apocalyptic world without relying on anyone, she wouldn’t need to be trapped in a group where all her teammates disliked her like in the past.

Moreover, Lin Shuangshuang wouldn’t allow herself to fall into such a disgraceful situation again. Her companions in this life were all reliable, albeit with some contrastingly cute personalities, like the cultured violent guy or the cold homebody guy.

This meal lasted for two hours. Mainly it was because the atmosphere was so good, as everyone chatted and shared their names. Lin Shuangshuang only remembered four names.

The first was the old man called Ma Yuan, a national treasure-level agricultural science doctor, dedicated his life to researching how to cultivate excellent crops, staunchly against using methods like genetically modified organisms to enhance agricultural yield.

The second was the playful little girl named Ma Ying, Ma Yuan’s granddaughter. Ma Ying’s parents died in a car accident when she was very young, so she was raised by her grandfather Ma Yuan, and the two shared a special bond.

The third was the man with the gold-framed glasses, Ma Yuan’s assistant, with a somewhat odd name, Liu Song. According to himself, his father’s surname was Liu and his mother’s surname was Song. They had a particularly good relationship and decided to name their child Liu Song!

The fourth was the leader of the soldiers, named Song Yuhang, very handsome in appearance, with a calm and steady demeanor, looking like someone capable of taking on great responsibilities, exuding a particularly strong sense of security.

There were too many soldiers under Song Yuhang’s leadership for Lin Shuangshuang to remember them all. The soldiers didn’t call each other by name, instead using numbers based on age, from oldest to youngest as one to twelve, making it easy to remember and close-knit.

After the two groups shared a meal, they felt a great camaraderie and became much closer. Lin Shuangshuang learned from Song Yuhang that they belonged to a special operations unit in the military, known for their formidable combat power.

Although these people seemed somewhat weak and not living up to their reputation, Lin Shuangshuang believed that as long as they ate the mutant pig meat, after two days of her hellish training, they would absolutely become individuals who could beat Mi Lu, Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenbo without trouble.

Song Yuhang also revealed a bit, stating that they had come out for a special mission, with the target being Ma Yuan, the national treasure-level agricultural expert, as they needed to escort Ma Yuan to the nearest military base.
