Chapter 170: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 77
After much contemplation plagued by unease over the matter with Li Man, Lin Shuangshuang finally decided to add Zhang Ling, who was as cunning as Li Man, to the mission list!
Even as they left the base and began their journey, Lin Shuangshuang remained outwardly calm, but inside, she was still in turmoil. On one hand, she somewhat anticipated encountering Li Man to take revenge for her tragic death in the past life; on the other hand, she feared that, without killing Li Man, she might allow Li Man to find her weaknesses and harm those she cared about!
As for whether she’d be killed by Li Man again, Lin Shuangshuang wasn’t overly concerned. Having died once, some might grow more fearful of death, but Lin Shuangshuang had come to terms with it—if she could drag her enemy to hell with her, she wouldn’t fear death.
Throughout the journey, Lin Shuangshuang’s face betrayed no emotion as she remained silent, pondering over her worries. Her nature was already reticent and reclusive, so no one noticed anything amiss about her demeanor.
However, Zhang Ling, who had a keen eye for observation, immediately noticed Lin Shuangshuang’s anxiety and tension.
"Sister Shuangshuang, you don’t need to worry so much. We are here to help. Believe in us—we are not so weak, and I’m not so clueless as to let someone deceive one of our teammates without realizing it. Don’t keep everything bottled up on your own—overthinking only makes you feel more trapped!"
Having heard about Li Man from the team before and considering that Liu Ze just talked about something with Lin Shuangshuang that she didn’t keep secret, Zhang Ling easily guessed what was bothering her and comforted Lin Shuangshuang with a few words.
Lin Shuangshuang looked at Zhang Ling’s smiling face and then turned to see Song Yuhang, who was casually chatting with his teammates while casually sending gusts of Wind Blades to slay mutant insects and creatures blocking their way—even among these was a particularly mutated giant ant.
