Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 157: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 64

"Shuangshuang, I’m really sorry to trouble you again, but this mission is truly important. It’s an S-Class mission jointly conducted by the Capital Base and our base! In the tropical rainforest area to the south, there have been abnormal biological mutations, primarily showing a large number of unusually mutated creatures. We need to investigate the cause. Several teams have already gone to check it out, but no one has returned. This time, the Capital Base’s intention is for the Capital Base and major Safe Bases to dispatch elite teams to jointly investigate what is causing the emergence of so many particularly mutated creatures."

Song Yuhang, upon entering, didn’t waste any words. Seeing Lin Shuangshuang, he got straight to the point.

This mission sounds dangerous; ever since the previous pathfinding teams failed to return, it’s evident.

Lin Shuangshuang didn’t immediately agree. She was deep in thought. To be honest, she was a bit undecided. Such a dangerous task could very well cost lives. Lin Shuangshuang absolutely didn’t want to die. If she did, she couldn’t imagine how heartbroken her parents would be without her protection.

"Shuangshuang, I know you have concerns, but this matter is really serious! If we can’t find out why these organisms are undergoing such abnormal evolutionary mutations, humanity may face another disaster. We must find a way to determine the cause and stop the emergence of so many particularly mutated creatures in this world."

"Maybe the creatures there are just more prone to evolving into particularly mutated creatures for no specific reason. How can the Capital Base be sure that this mutation is abnormal?" Lin Shuangshuang asked with a frown. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Even though many electronic devices are down due to the planetary anomaly, the nation has maintained satellite functionality, which can monitor the mutation rates of creatures in various regions across the country. The mutations in the tropical rainforest are unusual compared to other places. The number of particularly mutated creatures there is almost catching up to that of the entire country. This is definitely not normal."

Song Yuhang chewed on a stalk of grass, his brows furrowed, and explained with a serious expression.

Lin Shuangshuang remained silent again. However, this time she didn’t plan to refuse. Since it threatened human survival, she had to go. In a fallen nest, no egg remains intact. If humanity faced a crisis, those she cared about couldn’t escape either. It was best for her to confront the danger ahead and nip it in the bud as much as possible.

Lin Shuangshuang started to think about who to take. Given the mission’s danger, she definitely wouldn’t take her parents or Mi Lu’s parents.

Nor would she take Red Jade’s children. Nowadays, these little spiders are only the size of washbasins and not very lethal. Each of these spiders has the potential to become something like Red Jade; if any were lost, Lin Shuangshuang would be heartbroken, so she naturally wouldn’t bring them along.

She couldn’t just leave those with weak combat abilities at home; someone must protect them. Simply leaving Red Jade’s babies behind could attract ill-intentioned individuals. Thus, Lin Shuangshuang planned a streamlined approach, bringing only Li Wenbo, Li Wenxuan, and Zhang Ling, who was like a Zhi brain.

She left behind Mi Lu, Sister Hong, Doumi, and the rest of the team to protect Wei Min, Lin Hai, Mi Lu’s parents, and Red Jade’s children.

While Lin Shuangshuang was contemplating who to take and who to leave, Song Yuhang’s nerves were also tense. He feared Lin Shuangshuang might refuse. After all, this task was so dangerous, and Lin Shuangshuang had many ties. If she was afraid of not being able to take care of her parents if something happened to her and refused to go, Song Yuhang would understand.

Wei Min and Lin Hai were anxious. As parents, they were understandably unwilling to let their child take such risks, but they understood Lin Shuangshuang’s mindset best as parents. With Lin Shuangshuang’s disposition, she would undoubtedly agree.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive. Wei Min, afraid of hearing Lin Shuangshuang’s decision, stood up evasively, saying, "There are still buns in the kitchen; I’ll go check on them." With that, she hurried off to the kitchen. Seeing Wei Min leave, Lin Hai silently stood up and followed her.

Lin Shuangshuang felt a bit heavy-hearted. Although she had decided who to take and who not, she hoped those going with her would do so willingly. If no one wanted to go, she would go with Red Jade alone.

"I plan to accept this mission, but it’s very dangerous and there’s a chance we might not return. So, if you want to go, I won’t force you. Let me know if you don’t want to go."

Everyone was silent for a while. Concerning life and death, they were all a bit indecisive. Lin Shuangshuang didn’t speak, patiently waiting for their decision.

After a long while, Li Wenbo, who appeared gentle but was internally fierce, spoke first, "I’m going. Although this task is dangerous, it’s unavoidable. If we ignore it now and can’t handle it, those particularly mutated creatures will eventually come to us. This battle is inevitable. It’s better for us to strike their lair while they’re still weak."

Since Li Wenbo spoke, his brother Li Wenxuan naturally stood by him and nodded in agreement, "I’ll go too. I’ve recently mastered a Space Blade, and I think it’s quite powerful. I can be considered a strong combat force."

"I must go with Sister Shuangshuang. When I joined, I vowed to always be loyal to you. Now that you’re going to battle, how can I not be there as your strategist?" Zhang Ling gently brushed her hair back and smiled softly.

With Zhang Ling voicing her support, Sister Hong also stood by her sister. Mi Lu also voiced her support for her friend Lin Shuangshuang’s decision, and eventually, everyone agreed with Lin Shuangshuang’s decision.

Lin Shuangshuang expressed her decision. Although she was only taking three people, one of whom was the not-very-combative Zhang Ling, everyone strongly opposed it. But Lin Shuangshuang wouldn’t change her mind, so they had to give up.

Seeing Lin Shuangshuang finalize everything, Song Yuhang, who had been anxious all along, finally felt relieved. He was really worried Lin Shuangshuang wouldn’t agree. As for her taking only three people, Song Yuhang didn’t mind. His main purpose in coming was for the strong combat forces Lin Shuangshuang and Red Jade. It didn’t matter if others went or not.

Song Yuhang had a lot on his plate, with hardly any free time. Having sorted out matters with Lin Shuangshuang, he quickly took his leave.

After seeing Song Yuhang off, Lin Shuangshuang was troubled, thinking about how to convince her parents to agree to this mission, as Wei Min and Lin Hai had not come out of the kitchen since going in.
