Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 141: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 47

The people left behind at the camp arrived quickly. Red Jade’s figure was simply too large, and even in such a lush, jungle-like area, it was extremely conspicuous. From a distance, a large patch of red sped towards them.

Lin Shuangshuang, with her keen eyesight, noticed not only items carried on Red Jade’s back but also a large group of people and the exceptionally noticeable Doumi standing on Red Jade’s head!

Doumi’s vision was even better than Lin Shuangshuang’s, and she immediately saw Lin Shuangshuang from a distance. She let out a loud "meow," her big tail shot up stiffly and quivered continuously. Then, like a flying arrow, she leaped from Red Jade’s head and dashed towards Lin Shuangshuang!

Not to be outdone, Red Jade also sped up, crawling straight towards Lin Shuangshuang. Both of them were so excited to see Lin Shuangshuang that they ignored everything else. But Sister Hong’s group, who had never seen Red Jade and Doumi before, didn’t know this.

Seeing the massive Doumi and the even more enormous Red Jade, everyone’s adrenaline surged wildly, making them overly stimulated. The timid Xiao Ling screamed in fright, rolled her eyes, and almost fainted!

But she pinched her thigh hard to stay conscious; fainting at a time like this would mean giving up hope of survival.

The others didn’t fare much better, panicking as they prepared to run. Two men even helped the trembling, weak-legged Xiao Ling escape together.

However, Sister Hong didn’t run directly. Instead, she shouted at Lin Shuangshuang, who stood rooted to the spot: "Run quickly! Those things are too big; you can’t beat them!" When she saw Lin Shuangshuang still hadn’t moved, she rushed over anxiously, intending to drag Lin Shuangshuang away, thinking she was scared stiff.

Lin Shuangshuang turned her head to look calmly at the anxious Sister Hong, and with a steady voice, she reassured, "Don’t worry, Red Jade and Doumi are my pets; they won’t hurt anyone!"

As soon as Lin Shuangshuang finished speaking, Doumi had already reached her, purring a series of deafening meows while leaping straight into Lin Shuangshuang’s arms. To Sister Hong’s frightened gaze, which nearly caused a heart attack, Doumi nestled herself, enveloping most of Lin Shuangshuang’s body with her own, while also filling Lin Shuangshuang’s mouth with fur.

Doumi didn’t just meow incessantly; this chatterbox cat, after only being separated from Lin Shuangshuang for a short while, inundated Lin Shuangshuang’s mind with its cooing thoughts, lamenting its longing for her absence. Lin Shuangshuang was speechless, having only been gone for less than two hours, yet Doumi acted as if it were ages.

While holding the affectionate Doumi, she soothed it mentally when suddenly another awareness intruded—it was Red Jade’s. Red Jade’s perception was simple; it too missed its master, seeking comfort and a pat!

Lin Shuangshuang looked at Red Jade, which had already reached her, staring intently with eight big round eyes. She then glanced at Red Jade’s post-evolution, still red but hairless body. She grimaced, thinking why it needed a pat when there’s no fur to pat!

The two streams of consciousness from Doumi and Red Jade clamored in Lin Shuangshuang’s mind, competing with each other, pleading for hugs. While Doumi was manageable, who could possibly lift Red Jade!!

Overwhelmed by these two demanding creatures, Lin Shuangshuang grabbed Mi Lu, who was sliding off Red Jade’s back, and forcibly handed Doumi over to Mi Lu for consolation. Ignoring Red Jade’s disgruntled complaints, she made her escape!

At this moment, Sister Hong and the group who had just scattered were no longer running because they had seen people continuously jumping off Red Jade’s back and the tiger-sized cat, that was whining at Lin Shuangshuang!

Even knowing these two giants had owners and wouldn’t harm them, their sheer sizes intimidated everyone, causing them to keep a nervous distance while huddling far from Red Jade and Doumi.

The last to jump off Red Jade’s back was Li Wenbo, who was carrying a bamboo basket. Inside the basket was Zhao Yan, long forgotten by Lin Shuangshuang and previously used by Li Man as an obstacle.

At the moment, Zhao Yan’s face was filled with panic, fear, and a desire to survive, his once lifeless eyes now devoid of any once-dead grayness. Though Zhao Yan had lost his legs, he could still care for himself in terms of eating, drinking, and other necessities. He could also drag his body using his arms.

After Li Man ran away, Lin Shuangshuang completely forgot Zhao Yan, and Song Yuhang, Li Wenbo, and Li Wenxuan were equally unconcerned with Zhao Yan, this half-disabled man, leaving him to fend for himself.

With no legs to rely on, Zhao Yan couldn’t go anywhere. Venturing out alone equaled certain death. Seeing that Lin Shuangshuang and the others weren’t planning to kill him in anger, Zhao Yan trembled with fear but stayed near Lin Shuangshuang.

Usually, Zhao Yan would try to stay in a spot where he wasn’t far from the others but was easily overlooked. When hungry, he’d eat the leftover bug meat, allowing him to survive.

Unexpectedly, today Zhao Yan noticed that everyone began dismantling their tents as if preparing to leave. Unable to stay put, he crawled out and began pleading with the others not to abandon him and to take him with them.

With Lin Shuangshuang around, none of these people, who hadn’t endured much of the apocalypse’s hardships or seen its darkest sides, thought to kill Zhao Yan, the burden. Growing frustrated with his pestering, Li Wenbo decided to take Zhao Yan along and ask Lin Shuangshuang for her opinion.

Dragging Zhao Yan, Li Wenbo went directly to Lin Shuangshuang, dropped the bamboo basket containing Zhao Yan to the ground, and impatiently tapped it with his toes, asking Lin Shuangshuang with a frown, "Boss, this guy keeps pestering us; what should we do with him?"

Before Lin Shuangshuang could reply, Zhao Yan spoke first. Pleading with Lin Shuangshuang, he said, "Miss Lin, please don’t leave me behind. Please, pretend I’m just luggage and take me with you!"

Lin Shuangshuang felt no sympathy for Zhao Yan. She wanted him to be more miserable, even more miserable! Previously, Lin Shuangshuang didn’t mind Zhao Yan staying put in the camp, as she intended to abandon him when leaving, letting him experience the feeling of being left in a den of bugs.

But seeing him living in such pain now, with eyes that hid a deep-seated hatred, Lin Shuangshuang suddenly thought that Zhao Yan might have some use.

As mentioned before, Zhao Yan was useless on his own, but he had a useful father. Zhao Zhenxiang was a former soldier who started a security company after retiring, hiring veterans who couldn’t find other jobs.

Possibly due to being a former soldier, he set up a base with the strictest rules of any private base, almost entirely copying the army base regulations. While it couldn’t match the government and military bases in humaneness due to ample resources, it was one of the few private bases with assured survival.

Zhao Zhenxiang ran his base like a military unit, strictly banning top-level killings for sport and prohibiting murder within the base. Although oppression was inevitable, these no-killing rules made many people deeply admire Zhao Zhenxiang’s base.
