CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 120: I’M NOT THE HOLY MOTHER IN THE APOCALYPSE 26

The scene of a large group of people catching chickens was extremely lively, with shouting and yelling, and an excited meowing Doumi chaotically helping out, along with a teammate, Red Jade, who kept spitting silk and ended up sticking to her own people indiscriminately!

In the end, even the old professor Ma Yuan was so stimulated by the scene that he abandoned his dignity as a scholar and joined in the chicken catching!

After catching the chickens, it was time to slaughter them, then prepare the meat in a way that’s convenient to eat on the go: roasted chicken, smoked chicken, boiled chicken, fried chicken, salted chicken, beggar’s chicken...

Li Wenxuan utilized his diverse culinary skills to create countless chicken dishes, successfully conquering everyone’s appetite! Of course, the stock of seasonings was rapidly depleting — no surprise, with so many people eating.

The bustling activities of stocking food finally came to an end; everyone’s fingers were so tired they didn’t want to move, yet their spirits were high. Song Yuhang looked at this boundlessly joyful scene, unsure whether to be happy or sigh at his teammates’ indulgence.

However, when Song Yuhang glanced at Lin Shuangshuang standing coldly at the door, his gaze softened, filled with emotion. One really shouldn’t judge a person by appearances, as it’s easy to misjudge.

Before meeting Lin Shuangshuang, Song Yuhang was completely hopeless. They were on a mission, getting trapped by insect swarms, abandoning vehicles and supplies, and being chased by mutant pigs.

Facing this brutal, mutated world, Song Yuhang thought he and his comrades, who had faced death many times, would surely perish in this mission.

Later, they were fortunately saved by Lin Shuangshuang, but at that time, Lin Shuangshuang seemed to be just there for meat, gazing past them with indifference.

So even though Song Yuhang, desperate, hinted for help, he didn’t really think Lin Shuangshuang would agree, given her cold demeanor, which made him doubt she’d assist.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shuangshuang readily agreed and even proactively offered more help, which arguably saved them all.

Over the past few days, Song Yuhang finally came to understand Lin Shuangshuang’s true nature. Contrary to her cold exterior, she’s warm on the inside, with a strong sense of justice and responsibility, and a straightforward nature — often taking action without a word, never seeking credit or gratitude.

If you don’t actually interact with Lin Shuangshuang, you’d think she’s terribly unapproachable due to her cold demeanor, but once acquainted, you’d realize her so-called coldness is just aloofness and a dislike for jokes.

Perhaps Song Yuhang stared for too long, as Lin Shuangshuang suddenly sensed it and turned around. Her expressionless face met with Song Yuhang’s gaze, clearly questioning why he kept staring at her.

Song Yuhang almost laughed; the more he looked, the more he found this girl interesting. Although her face was icy, her eyes were expressive, revealing all her emotions.

People who don’t know her would definitely be intimidated by her icy facade, but once familiar, they’d discover she’s like a paper tiger, with a strong inner spirit that’s as amiable as a kitten.

Lin Shuangshuang was a bit unnerved by Song Yuhang’s inexplicable smile; moving uncomfortably, she shielded herself with the doorframe, making Song Yuhang laugh even harder, while Lin Shuangshuang was utterly bewildered — what was wrong with this guy suddenly? Why the grin?

Having leveled up their skills and prepared the stock food, Red Jade was entirely burdened, as all the insects captured during cultivation fell to Red Jade.

Initially, Red Jade was reluctant to part with the insects that had been chopped up, but as the spoils grew overwhelming, it had to painfully discard the less appealing ones, storing only complete corpses and attempting to eat the insects before they spoiled.

Red Jade’s stash alone was like a small hill, and along with everyone’s supply and various equipment, she was almost buried under.

Burdened by the weight, Red Jade immediately refused to move, lying flat on the ground, whining in Qin Shuangshuang’s mind about her grievances, claiming it was too heavy and refusing to carry on!

Lin Shuangshuang, helpless, made everyone carry some luggage themselves to lighten Red Jade’s load, which finally got Red Jade to stand up, munching on insects while moving her eight long legs forward.

The time for all animals and plants to truly mutate was approaching rapidly. When that time comes, insects would once again grow enormous, overgrown plants would squeeze roads, crush most buildings, and the apocalypse would fully commence!

Acting on humanitarian grounds, Lin Shuangshuang, before leaving, informed people in Antique Street to quickly find a sparsely vegetated open area to avoid being buried when buildings collapsed.

Having Mi Lu, Li Wenbo, and Li Wenxuan spread the word, Lin Shuangshuang departed with her group. She had done all she could — her current ability couldn’t bear the burden of many lives, so this was all she could do.

Whether Antique Street folks believed it was none of her business. She did what she could, and whatever happens, she has no regrets!

Everyone pushed hard on their journey, reaching the largest outdoor gear shop in W City in under two hours. Coincidentally, there was no owner, only a "General" guarding it. At this point, it was impossible to find the owner, so Lin Shuangshuang planned to break in.

Song Yuhang hurriedly stopped Lin Shuangshuang. He realized this girl, besides being aloof and reticent, was also quite violent — resorting to action without a word!

Given there were neighbors around, Song Yuhang, as a soldier, couldn’t just watch a companion break in. So he sternly lectured Lin Shuangshuang, then signaled Xiao Wu to come over.

Next, under Lin Shuangshuang’s icy stare, Xiao Wu used a thin iron wire to effortlessly pick the lock that was so boastfully advertised!

Lin Shuangshuang...

She silently looked at Song Yuhang, her face expressionless, but Song Yuhang still read the question in her eyes — what’s the difference between what you did and what I was going to do?

Song Yuhang scratched his face, feeling a bit embarrassed. He was actually just messing around, curious to see if Lin Shuangshuang’s expressionless face would change at all. In short, the usually mature and steady Song Yuhang, the squad’s backbone, was actually pranking!

Of course, Song Yuhang wouldn’t admit he was pranking. He coughed and righteously said, "This method is better, quiet and not disturbing anyone. Your way was too violent — as soon as you acted, everyone nearby would know what you were up to. It’s too conspicuous, learn from this!"

Lin Shuangshuang...

Lin Shuangshuang was at a loss for words. Even though Song Yuhang wasn’t wrong, she suddenly found his manly handsome face so punch-able. Her hand itched!

Song Yuhang and his soldiers, very experienced in choosing outdoor gear, quickly selected all necessary survival items for everyone.

They left fully loaded, all in high spirits. But as they stepped outside, they were greeted by a group besieging Doumi and Red Jade! Leading the attack was a woman Lin Shuangshuang would recognize even if she were burnt to ashes — Li Man, whom Lin Shuangshuang had recently tricked!
