Chapter 173: Chapter 173: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 80

This also explains why Li Man, despite not liking Chi Shaolong, insisted on trying to win his favor and make him fall for her! Because Li Man wanted to use the status of being Chi Shaolong’s lover to gain the qualification to cultivate near the energy carrier!

But unexpectedly, Li Man, who had always been flawless in her calculations, failed with Chi Shaolong. No matter how she schemed, Chi Shaolong remained cold to her. On the other hand, Lin Shuangshuang, who had a terrible reputation, was treated relatively kindly by Chi Shaolong, so Li Man decided to eliminate her!

Honestly, in the past life, although Li Man plotted against Lin Shuangshuang, she never had murderous intent towards her. Why did she suddenly become intolerant and want to kill Lin Shuangshuang? Lin Shuangshuang never understood this before, but now she has some insight.

Perhaps it was because Li Man, having repeatedly failed with Chi Shaolong, started to feel anxious, and at that time, she naturally saw herself, who was treated differently by Chi Shaolong, as a threat.

Li Man probably worried that she might gain Chi Shaolong’s favor, which would ruin her plans to use the status of Chi Shaolong’s lover to cultivate near the energy carrier. Even though the possibility of Chi Shaolong liking her was slim, given Li Man’s nature of striving for perfection in everything, she wanted to eliminate any tiny errors to ensure she could fulfill her wish one hundred percent, so deciding to kill her was also normal!

Lin Shuangshuang did not know that her guess was really close to the truth because, in Li Man’s memory, Lin Shuangshuang’s husband was Chi Shaolong!

Moreover, Lin Shuangshuang and Chi Shaolong were famously loving couples, so when Chi Shaolong showed Lin Shuangshuang a gentler attitude than to others, Li Man felt like she was facing a great enemy and immediately decided to kill Lin Shuangshuang!

As for why Li Man ventured into the Southern Tropical Rainforest in this life, Lin Shuangshuang thought it over and felt it should be related to her own rebirth.

Because she was reborn and saved Ma Yuan and Song Yuhang, people with complex backgrounds and strong influence, these two discovered the benefits of consuming mutated creatures early due to Lin Shuangshuang, resulting in the government and army bases being strong throughout this life and private bases not flourishing enough to suppress government bases temporarily.

Li Man’s scheming made her thrive in the rule-less private bases, but she was no good in the strict government and army bases, which is also why Li Man didn’t like going to official bases but loved mixing in private bases.

Because the number of private bases decreased, as there were secure and well-treated official bases, no one would want to go to chaotic private bases unless forced. With fewer private bases, many of Li Man’s connections that Lin Shuangshuang knew in the past life were certainly gone.

Besides, Lin Shuangshuang also dug a big pit for Li Man in passing, which was Zhao Yan and his father Zhao Zhenxiang. Zhao Zhenxiang was not simple. In the past life, among the many private bases, Zhao Zhenxiang’s base had always been the leader. Only a few private bases were ordered to be absorbed by the government, and among those, only Zhao Zhenxiang was granted a military rank, showing how superb Zhao Zhenxiang’s skills were.

But such a clever and ambitious person happened to have a soft spot for his son. Whatever his son said was right, and now Zhao Yan hated Li Man so much that he definitely wouldn’t let her go.

Zhao Yan, Lin Shuangshuang experienced first-hand how ruthless he could be to those he disliked! Now Zhao Yan could say he lost his legs indirectly because of Li Man, plus when Li Man fled, she didn’t care about Zhao Yan’s life, using him as a shield. Zhao Yan greatly hated Li Man.

As long as Zhao Yan tells his father Zhao Zhenxiang, who dotes on him, that he wants Li Man dead or wants her to wish she were dead, Zhao Zhenxiang will certainly comply immediately.

Not able to mix in the official bases, and the head of private bases only listening to his son who wants her dead, Li Man surely doesn’t have it good this lifetime, which is why she couldn’t wait for Chi Shaolong to bring the energy carrier out of the Southern Tropical Rainforest but risked breaking in herself to get the energy carrier early to enhance her abilities, because in the rule-less private bases, powerful combat power can crush all opposition and dissent!

Just thinking about how Li Man is doing poorly now, and it was all because she set her up casually, Lin Shuangshuang felt refreshed. Although the revenge for murder has not yet been exacted, she’s gained some interest back.

"Studying this much here and thinking that much is useless. It’s better to stay vigilant and talk about it when we encounter it. If the other party’s goal is indeed the energy carrier, we will surely meet them. What we need to do now is to quickly enhance our strength. When we are strong, we can handle whatever comes!"

While Lin Shuangshuang was lost in thought, the others had discussed again, and finally, Song Yuhang glanced at everyone, drew a conclusion, and ended the discussion.

"Right, everyone quickly eat and then cultivate well, don’t forget we three haven’t advanced yet!" Li Wenbo, who was infinitely interested in combat, was the first to respond to Song Yuhang’s words.

Speaking of eating, it was time for Li Wenxuan to showcase his skills recently. The group, relying on Zhang Ling’s mutated monkey group, found many edible mutated plants, and now everyone’s menu was getting richer, with a delicious balance of meat and vegetables.

In the following days, Song Yuhang, Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenbo all advanced one after another. Although everyone’s combat power had increased significantly, progress was still slow because now the attacking mutated creatures were rarely ordinary mutants, primarily consisting of specially mutated creatures as the main combat force, and they encountered slight traces left by another group twice along the way forward.

The other party hid well, but they couldn’t fool Chi Shaolong and Song Yuhang, who had a military background. Chi Shaolong dug out a heap of concealed life waste from under a grass clump that was more withered than the surrounding plants.

Chi Shaolong, using a small stick, poked through the pile of ashes, then picked out a fingernail-sized, unburned thin piece of something, placed it on a leaf, carefully examined it repeatedly, and frowned slightly, "Someone among them is injured!"

Lin Shuangshuang walked up, bent down to carefully examine the item on the leaf; it was burned into a black-brown color, looking like some fabric product, and judging by the net-like material, it resembled gauze used for bandaging wounds, and that black-brown tint could likely be the bloodstains that hadn’t burned off.

Over there, Song Yuhang also put down the stick in his hand, stopped searching through the ashes, and said, "Quite a few injured people should be here. There are many unburned gauze scraps within; their combat power isn’t weak, being able to penetrate this place without moving safe fortresses, and their speed not slow, they’ve always been ahead of us, there must be some experts among them no less powerful than Shuangshuang and Chi Shaolong."
