Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 416: The Bug Boss

"No, it’s too dangerous."

Over there were all insects; if Jhiang Yuan went over, what if something happened? He was resolutely opposed to it.

"Don’t worry, you forgot, I’m really awesome."

As Jhiang Yuan spoke, she winked at him, and he immediately understood.

Yes, she had the space.

She would be going over to protect him.

"Okay, then let’s go together..."

Jhiang Yuan instructed Ye Mianmian to wait for her here, then followed Song Yi towards the few trees ahead.

The insects here were really strange, lined up in rows, all heading to those three trees in the middle.

"Song Yi, look, they’re all in that place."

She was referring to the place that had enveloped Zhang Tiezhu earlier; there could be a huge space inside, as was evident from the outside.

The branches crisscrossed densely, and now, surrounded by insects, it was a thick mass that made her feel nauseous.

"If these things didn’t come, this tree would be burned completely. Now it’s so tense, there must be something inside.

We can do this..."

The other person whispered for a while, and the two of them quietly slipped away.

The airplane was nearby, and Song Yi called over Zhang Tiezhu and Zhang Kaiyang, who followed them onto the plane.

After explaining things to Camp Commander Xie and Jiang Yuan for a while, they finally came over.

Jhiang Yuan and the others carried a lot of gasoline onto the plane, with Zhang Tiezhu piloting.

As they circled high in the sky, the two boys began pouring gasoline directly onto those trees.

Jhiang Yuan looked on, quite frightened, just worried that an accident might cause them to fall down. That would be troublesome.

Fortunately, both men were skilled, and the gasoline was poured without a hitch.

There should have been some effect, like knocking down some of the insects, but there wasn’t any.

It was like the insects were glued on, tightly holding on.

Well, this way they could all be wiped out at once.

All six buckets of gasoline poured down.

"Zhang Tiezhu, find a place to land."

"Roger that!"

They found a flat area to land in, and everyone quickly got off. Camp Commander Xie had almost finished preparing.

He lit a bundle of kindling and threw it directly over there.

The flames surged up instantly, fuelled by the gasoline.

"Brothers, get to work~"

At this point, Camp Commander Xie gave the order.

The kindling soaked in gasoline, once lit, was thrown one bundle after another to the other side.

Crisp explosions and the bursting sounds of the insects came one after another.

A foul stench also wafted over; everyone was covering their noses while watching the situation unfold there.

After the insects burst, they fell down, pooling on the ground, and the area quickly turned red.

One would think it was bloodstains left from a fierce battle.

"Fantastic, this time, we can clean up all the insects."

Jiang Yuan was very happy; he hadn’t expected those from the lake to come over on their own, saving them a lot of trouble!

"Yes, this time we have Brother Song to thank for his help."

Camp Commander Xie hadn’t finished his words of gratitude when suddenly there was a loud "bang" from the other side.

"Something’s wrong~"

Song Yi hurried over, followed by the others behind him.

The sound suggested something heavy had hit the ground.

Jhiang Yuan was very scared; if there had been someone inside before and they hadn’t noticed, that would be trouble.

After all, that tree was absorbing nutrients from human bodies.

"Mother of— what the heck is that?"

Zhang Kaiyang shouted, and everyone was stunned.

A huge insect had fallen from the opposite side, gigantic in size.

At least two meters long, as thick as a 200-pound fatty.

Everyone was stunned; was this the insect king?

"No good, run..."

That huge insect actually shakily crawled over, moving a bit faster than a person’s run.

The people here, too, were very tense and scattered in all directions in a flurry.

Jhiang Yuan also grabbed Ye Mianmian and hurriedly ran outside.

"Over here~"

It was Camp Commander Xie calling her, and as Jhiang Yuan turned her head, she saw a row of guards already armed.

They not only had something akin to shields, but also wielded weapons in their hands.

Alright, now there was only one target, and it was still alive.

Show it the might of humanity couldn’t hurt, after all, it was just a bug.

Ah, forget it, given its size, just call it an animal.

"Quick, Mianmian~"

Jhiang Yuan dared not delay, and pulled her to stand behind this group of people.

Song Yi also came over and stood by her side.

The bug, too, ran over.

"Fire~"

Following the command, everyone was ready in position.

The sound of "pop pop pop~" started up.

The bullets went right through it without resistance, as the bug’s skin was quite thin and couldn’t withstand the impact.

"Damn, it’s tough~"

Even Ye Mianmian couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

The bug, hit by the bullets, didn’t die but instead charged towards them.

Even faster than before.

"Increase firepower~"

Camp Commander Xie was not intimidated and instead ordered everyone to continue firing.

In the sound of "rat-a-tat," the bug quickly turned into a sieve.

And then, it staggered and toppled over.

From its body, a lot of dark red fluid seeped out, emitting a foul stench.

It was the kind of smell that could suffocate one to death; even with a mask on, Jhiang Yuan couldn’t help but retch.

"Sister Yuan, blargh~"

Ye Mianmian couldn’t hold it in either and began to vomit along with her.

Soon, many others couldn’t take it either, began retching, and moved aside.

Song Yi also felt unwell, but he didn’t vomit, and came over to pat Jhiang Yuan’s back.

"It’s okay, blargh~"

The stench was overpowering, that kind of nauseating feeling.

"Camp Commander Xie, send someone to get some soil and bury it."

"Okay~"

"Let’s go over there~"

Song Yi pulled her to the side, and Ye Mianmian and others also followed.

Zhang Tiezhu, anxious, offered his water canteen to Ye Mianmian.

"Sister Yuan, have a drink too!"

"It’s fine, I have water in my bag~"

Jhiang Yuan waved her hand as they got further away, it finally started getting better.

The air felt like it was circulating again, without the suffocating sensation.

She took her thermos from the space inside and pulled it out using her backpack as cover.

Drinking warm water still felt more comfortable.

She gave Song Yi a drink as well, and everyone had the feeling of having narrowly escaped a catastrophe.

"How could there be such a big bug, it scared me to death, you’d think it was a python.

But pythons are much longer than this one."

Ye Mianmian really couldn’t fathom how such a creature could exist.

"This is my first time seeing it too, so terrifying.

Look at those bugs, they might all be its offspring, coming over to protect their ancestor."

Fan Qing muttered to himself, equally incredulous.

"That being said, they came here for this giant bug.

Then before, sending people over, was it actually for feeding the bugs and not for nourishing the trees?"

Jhiang Yuan’s words stirred up a wave of shock; it made sense to everyone.

At the same time, they were also astounded, how could it be like this?
