CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 189: THE APOCALYPSE - I AM NOT THE HOLY MOTHER 96

After Lin Shuangshuang spent a few days with her parents, Song Yuhang visited and brought great news. Qing Lin’s owner was found at the Capital Base, and his identity wasn’t low; he specialized in helping restore communication after the world changed. It’s undeniable that he became more impressive than before.

Wang Wei brought back Chi Shaolong to hand over the energy stones, reported Qing Lin’s situation, and the base paid great attention to it. They immediately conducted an investigation and surprisingly easily found about ten people named Zhong Qi in the base’s roster, one of whom was Qing Lin’s owner.

Zhong Qi also missed Qing Lin a lot. He had lost hope, believing Qing Lin was probably dead. Unexpectedly, he received news about Qing Lin, so he packed his bags and immediately wanted to head south. According to Zhong Qi, he wanted to see his precious son as soon as possible!

Those escorting Zhong Qi to the south, besides Wang Wei, included a large group of excellent soldiers, both superpower users and ordinary people. Naturally, their goal was training.

Although ordinary people cannot increase their superpowers, training in energy-rich places can rapidly strengthen their bodies, such as increasing speed and power. Currently, many people in the military have improved their physical fitness just through self-cultivation, making them comparable to superpower users.

Song Yuhang also planned to bring a group of soldiers, but Lin Shuangshuang stopped him. This time heading south, Lin Shuangshuang planned to implement an idea she had since the hatching of Red Jade’s babies.

Red Jade’s babies have strong genes and will eventually evolve into Red Jade’s size and combat power. With over two thousand Red Jades, Lin Shuangshuang cannot raise them all herself, so she has always planned to find good owners for Red Jade’s babies.

Lin Shuangshuang’s plan was to let some soldiers interact with Red Jade’s children for a while to see if any of them connected. If they did, a little spider would form a partnership with that soldier, and then both the little spider and their owner would go south for training.

This way, the soldier favored by the little spider would care for it until it grows up, fostering a closer bond. When these little spiders mature, they can assist their owners in completing tasks. Being a Spider Knight is actually quite cool.

As for why to choose soldiers, there’s no specific reason. It’s a simple and straightforward one: Lin Shuangshuang holds a particular fondness for soldiers, having been saved by them many times in her past life.

Of course, Lin Shuangshuang wouldn’t allow partners chosen by the little spiders to separate from them. She made it clear to Song Yuhang that once a little spider selects an owner, unless they die, they can’t be changed or separated from their owner.

Song Yuhang readily agreed to Lin Shuangshuang’s small request, laughing dumbly. Even though Song Yuhang had never expressed opinions about the fate of Lin Shuangshuang’s little spiders, he had some premonitions. Now that Lin Shuangshuang was indeed choosing owners for the little spiders from his soldiers, he couldn’t help grinning ear to ear, utterly unapologetic.

Song Yuhang floated back home, only to be caught by his father, who frowned upon seeing his bewildered state and coldly ordered, "Stop! Stand at attention!"

In response, Song Yuhang stood at military attention immediately, with his father frowning and reprimanding, "Look at yourself! Acting without grounding! A soldier must maintain a military posture, head high, chest out, eyes forward at all times!"

Despite his father’s scolding, Song Yuhang wasn’t afraid. He grinned again, leaned in mysteriously, and shared Lin Shuangshuang’s plan with his father, who struggled to maintain a stern face, eventually breaking into a wide smile. The difficulty of not changing owners was trivial; fostering a bond with a little spider wouldn’t be easy, and without Lin Shuangshuang’s rule, they wouldn’t dare switch owners casually.

Early the next morning, Song Yuhang gathered all the excellent soldiers from the base at the largest barracks. These soldiers stood in neat rows, their eyes filled with anticipation, hoping to become one of the chosen lucky ones.

Lin Shuangshuang and Red Jade were also nervous. Although Red Jade had gained wisdom, she felt reluctant to part with her children. However, it’s animal nature for grown children to leave.

Now Red Jade’s children had grown to the size of a millstone, still no match for Red Jade’s size, but according to natural instincts, it was time to leave their mother and live independently. Lin Shuangshuang was very pleased to find good owners for them, alleviating worries about their survival in natural conflicts.

Early in the day, Lin Shuangshuang, Red Jade, and a curious Doumi set out to witness Red Jade’s children choosing their lifelong partners.

Of course, Lin Shuangshuang’s teammates had already bonded with their chosen little spiders, and even Lin Shuangshuang’s parents each had a little spider to care for. Those little spiders didn’t need to come.

Lin Shuangshuang and Red Jade led a vast group of bright red, millstone-sized little spiders down the main road, without causing any fear. Everyone at the base knew Lin Shuangshuang, the top expert there, had a group of particularly mutated little spiders.

When they reached the base, all the little spiders poured inside. The soldiers waiting there grew anxious but not scared of spiders.

These soldiers dealt with mutated insects daily and had long since stopped fearing monstrous appearances. Many found the fuzzy little spiders with eight large eyes quite cute. Their aesthetic sense was indeed uniquely twisted!

There were over thirty thousand soldiers, and the little spiders spent seven to eight days playing and bonding with them in the barracks, eventually choosing their future owners. No little spider was left behind.

Those chosen were naturally in high spirits, their faces showing smug satisfaction, while those not chosen felt downcast.

Just then, Song Yuhang announced another piece of good news.

Those not chosen needn’t be disheartened. The excellent among them can head south for training. The south hosts numerous particularly mutated creatures with intelligence for interaction. With Qing Lin keeping these creatures in check, they won’t attack humans. They can certainly try to befriend one themselves.

Moreover, spots for heading south will rotate periodically. Those who can go, go; those who can’t await another chance. Everyone has an opportunity.

Song Yuhang’s good news excited the previously downcast soldiers, each of them eager to secure a spot to the south sooner and find their own mutated partner!

This time traveling south, Lin Shuangshuang brought her parents and teammates along, planning to settle there. The south was now a good place, and if not for Lin Shuangshuang’s significant contributions to the mission, the Capital’s officials wouldn’t have allowed her to station there with her family.
