CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: I’M NOT THE HOLY MOTHER IN THE APOCALYPSE 25

Actually, Song Yuhang revealing his identity to Lin Shuangshuang was a bit of a request for help in escorting Ma Yuan, someone of significant combat power like Lin Shuangshuang. However, as a soldier, the instinct to protect the people was ingrained in his bones, making it hard for him to ask someone he considered an ordinary person, like Lin Shuangshuang, for protection.

If Ma Yuan weren’t so important to the country, Song Yuhang wouldn’t ask even at the cost of his life. Therefore, he only hinted at it implicitly without pushing further. Song Yuhang hoped that if Lin Shuangshuang was interested, she would offer on her own; if not, he would never force her.

As for Lin Shuangshuang’s thoughts, she was inclined to escort Ma Yuan, or at least travel with him for a while, to enhance the capabilities of Song Yuhang and his team before leaving.

It’s the same old story. Lin Shuangshuang wasn’t the type to sacrifice her interests to help others like a Holy Mother. But escorting Ma Yuan, a national treasure-level expert, safely wasn’t something she saw as dangerous. As a part of the country, she was more than willing to lend a helping hand.

Having decided to help, Lin Shuangshuang wasn’t one to dawdle. As soon as Song Yuhang conveyed his intentions, Lin Shuangshuang directly said, "I’ll help you escort Dr. Ma, but your physical fitness is too weak. Rest for a few days, and I’ll train you."

Lin Shuangshuang didn’t know how far the military base was, but she knew that the real apocalypse or the great evolution would soon begin!

When the true evolution begins, most human structures will collapse, plants will evolve attack abilities, insects and animals will grow larger and more agile, and there will be rare abnormal mutated creatures like Red Jade. That will be the real apocalypse, and no one will be safe!

Initially, Lin Shuangshuang, with her combat power and the even mightier mutated Red Jade and Doumi, had confidence in protecting her three companions, Mi Lu, Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenbo. However, adding Song Yuhang and Ma Yuan to the group, totaling fifteen people, was beyond what Lin Shuangshuang could protect!

Rather than struggle alone when the time comes, it was better to stop and train these people intensively for a few days. Song Yuhang and his team were already physically fit as soldiers. To put it bluntly, ordinary people today are slightly sub-healthy, while soldiers are super fit. Especially Song Yuhang and his team are elite soldiers, and Lin Shuangshuang estimated their one day of training would equal ten days for a regular person!

Song Yuhang was momentarily stunned by Lin Shuangshuang’s straightforwardness. He didn’t actually think she would agree because Lin Shuangshuang was always cold and not talkative. Even when talking, she would end the conversation in just a couple of sentences!

In short, attempting to chat with Lin Shuangshuang often led to inexplicable awkwardness. You talk for ages, and she merely responds with "hmm" a few times. You’re enthusiastic, and she remains expressionless. Whether you’re embarrassed, happy, angry, or annoyed, she remains unaffected, leaving one feeling powerless.

Song Yuhang always felt that Lin Shuangshuang was indifferent and not an easy person to talk to. Cold-hearted people generally don’t care about national duties or civic responsibilities.

Song Yuhang hadn’t even thought about how to persuade Lin Shuangshuang to help. He only mentioned it because he genuinely felt uncertain about completing the mission and opened his mouth with a gambler’s mindset!

Who knew the gamble would pay off so easily? Lin Shuangshuang not only agreed unexpectedly readily but also offered to help them enhance their skills.

With just a glimpse of Lin Shuangshuang’s reach, Song Yuhang was convinced that she was undoubtedly one of the top experts, trained by a martial arts master. Training under her would definitely be more beneficial than military training.

Although Lin Shuangshuang was solitary and taciturn, she was efficient and decisive. Upon deciding to start the training, after some digestion, she immediately began intensive training for everyone. Note, everyone included Mi Lu, Li Wenxuan, Li Wenbo, and even the elderly professor Ma Yuan wasn’t spared.

Of course, Lin Shuangshuang didn’t inhumanely train a scientific researcher to fight insects. She gave Ma Yuan a pile of roasted mutant pig meat and instructed him to run in place, eat a piece when tired, and continue without stopping, the goal being to enhance endurance. Although he wouldn’t fight, at least he wouldn’t be a burden on the road, and he could dodge when battles erupted!

Ma Yuan’s task was the easiest; the rest had a tough time. Over the next few days, they fully experienced what devil training was! With the mutant pig meat and insect eggs supplementing their strength, everyone underwent an intensity of training that was ordinarily lethal.

The soldiers were alright, but Liu Song, Ma Ying, Mi Lu, Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenbo howled daily due to Lin Shuangshuang’s training methods!

Especially with Lin Shuangshuang now being quite violent; first, she would spar and thoroughly defeat you, then throw you into the pile of insects to fight. It resulted in everyone being beaten by Lin Shuangshuang, covered in cuts from insects, feeling like they had entered the hell of cultivation!

But the training progress was rapid. Now, Song Yuhang and his group’s combat power already surpassed Mi Lu, Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenbo, who had trained for several more days than them. These soldiers were now capable of single-handedly taking on a swarm of insects.

Even the weakest, Liu Song and Ma Ying, could wield the short knives gifted by Li Wenbo to weave in and out of the insect horde. As for how painful the process of Martial Power enhancement was, both were reluctant to say much, expressing it only in anguish. It’s too hard to look back!

Feeling that the training was somewhat effective, Lin Shuangshuang led everyone out for a major hunt, primarily to prepare a stockpile of food and also to test everyone’s cultivation results.

Afterward, they needed to rush to the outdoor supplies store that Lin Shuangshuang had been contemplating, but due to various obstacles, they hadn’t reached. This time it was urgent, as the real great evolution was about to begin. If they didn’t go, the store might be completely swallowed by mutant plants and untraceable.

The great hunt was fruitful. Somehow, someone had reared a brood of chickens at home, and these chickens, now taller than people due to mutation, were still roaming nearby in flocks and hadn’t wandered far.

Though the chickens weren’t very powerful, their wings had evolved enough to glide a short distance, significantly increasing the difficulty of capture! However, with Doumi helping to corral them and Lin Shuangshuang overseeing, there was no fear of the chickens escaping, so everyone directly rushed in to seize the chickens as a group.

Now everyone knew the benefits of mutant creatures. Seeing this group of chickens was like seeing a bunch of meat, causing everyone’s eyes to turn red! Especially Mi Lu, completely transformed into a foodie, and the cold but gleaming-eyed culinary expert Li Wenxuan, who were the most excited!

A large group of people charged into the flock of chickens, resulting in chaos with chickens flying and cats jumping spiders spinning webs. Luckily, the strands Red Jade spun weren’t poisonous. Otherwise, these chickens wouldn’t be edible, becoming its food instead. But Red Jade was picky, disdainful of any meat other than insects!
