Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 420: The Red Worm Reappears

This child has been with them for some time now.

She is always careful, and Jhiang Yuan watches her with a heartache.

She also tries to treat her well, whatever Xiao Nuan has, she has too.

Jingjing is very sensible, too, always looking after Xiao Nuan, eating only half of her things and saving the other half.

After Xiao Nuan finishes eating, she shares the remaining half with her little sister.

Jhiang Yuan told her a few times, but she still does it, so Jhiang Yuan simply stopped mentioning it.

However, she would remind Xiao Nuan to be a little nicer to her sister.

Truth be told, she was quite pleased to see this.

Latter on, if they were no longer around, it would be good for Xiao Nuan to have someone to keep her company.

Since they had agreed, she didn’t think about it any further.

It would take two trips to move all their belongings.

Mainly because the bedding and mattresses needed to be moved separately.

When going to work in the morning, she brought some brooms and cleaning cloths.

Her mother said they needed to clean up the place first.

That way, when they moved the stuff over, it wouldn’t get dusty.

She didn’t concern herself with these matters and left it all up to her mother.

However, after eating breakfast, they were pressed for time.

They could only do the cleaning and then had to get back to work.

These days, Song Yi could come later for meals and could still join Jhiang Yuan.

In the past two days, he had been constantly at the base, seemingly very busy.

Jhiang Yuan wanted to ask him why he had been detained that day, but she never found the opportunity.

Song Yi didn’t bring it up with her either, so it kept being delayed.

That day, after they finished their work, it was finally time for everyone to eat.

A few girls gathered together, chatting happily about the move.

Zhang Kaiyang suddenly stumbled in, looking quite anxious.

Fan Qing quickly stood up and asked in a hurry, "What’s wrong? Why are you running like that?"

"Qingqing, there’s an emergency, Sister Yuan, you need to come with me quickly—"

With such a tense atmosphere, it was definitely no small matter, and Jhiang Yuan didn’t have time to ask for details.

She told her mother to watch the two kids and ran out following him.

Outside the laboratory, many people had gathered.

They finally made it to the front and discovered someone was already lying there.

The remaining people were searching around for something.

"What happened?"

"That insect has appeared again; it came out from this man.

We don’t know where it ran off to, take a look and see if it’s the same one from the other day."

The remark was clearly addressed to Fan Qing.

She couldn’t remember, though.

His attire was different now, and they had been heavily wrapped up before, how could they identify him from that?

"I don’t know, I didn’t see the face that day either, it was all covered with a scarf," Fan Qing replied anxiously, but she truly couldn’t recognize him.

"Over there—"

No one knew who shouted, pointing under the man’s shoulder.

Indeed, a small red insect poked its head out tentatively.

"Kill it—"

With that, someone removed their shoe and went straight over.

The matter with the red insect was known to all.

Even if the incident at Half Moon Lake was supposed to be kept secret,

Two people had died inside the base as well, and such matters couldn’t be concealed.

"Be careful, a shoe can’t stop it—"

Jhiang Yuan was particularly afraid; this was no joke.

However, the person didn’t care and smacked down on it.

"Yo, it’s dead—"

Indeed, there was no further movement, and everyone else hardly dared to breathe.

"I just said it’s not that strange, it’s just an insect, hahaha—"

He hadn’t finished his sentence when he was suddenly startled.

Because the insect he had looked down upon had already crawled out of his shoe.

"Oh my god—"

In his panic, he threw his shoe away.

Barefoot on one foot, he kept moving back.

The person opposite him saw the shoe being thrown and, scared, quickly ran away.

The insect inside that shoe was lethal.

Indeed, it loved this kind of chaotic scene, and immediately leapt out, charging toward the crowd.

Seeing such a large fleshy worm, stepping on it seemed like an instinctive human reaction.

The crowd scattered in all directions, and Song Yi and Jiang Yuan rushed over.

Somehow, they had found two fly swatters and immediately started swatting at it.

The two of them were relentless, you swat, I swat, hitting it with glee.

The fly swatters were transparent, allowing them to see the insect’s movements underneath.

After being hit several times, it too was in pain.

Both of them exerted a lot of force; the insect struggled a few times and had no chance to catch its breath.

A minute later, it finally couldn’t take it anymore.

Song Yi stood up and took an ignition gun from behind his back.

They had only managed to control the insect; to completely eliminate it, they still needed to burn it.

Only when it exploded on its own would it be truly over.

The base was full of people, they absolutely couldn’t let their guard down.

Seeing that he was ready, Jiang Yuan quickly cleared the area.

The insect, already dazed from the beating, didn’t continue to attack the people.

Strangely enough, despite being beaten up, it hadn’t burst open or anything.

If it had just exploded, that would have been the end of it.

Song Yi ignited the fire, and the blue flame shot straight toward the insect’s body.

Although the insect didn’t catch fire, it writhed around in apparent agony.

Jiang Yuan took a notebook over, tore off the useless pages, and threw them on the insect, hoping to get it to burn.

Everyone watched the insect intently.

About five minutes later, it finally couldn’t take it and burst open.

Jhiang Yuan took a deep breath of relief; now it was finally over!

"Alright, everyone clear out, it’s all good now."

Someone came over to guide the crowd away, and it was Camp Commander Xie.

Seeing the remnants on the ground, he also sighed.

"Our clearing mission is still not thorough enough!"

Uh, this has turned the insect into a considerably significant opponent.

"Qingqing, do you remember this person?"

Here we go again, the same question.

"No, that day everyone was wrapped up tight, and I immediately ran to the back; I didn’t get a clear look."

As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent.

If it couldn’t be confirmed, then it could be someone else.

The danger had not been lifted; this was troubling.

"With so many of us there that day, it’s impossible to check.

If we wait for it to show itself, it’ll be too late. If the infected person is different from the rest, we might have a better chance."

Jhiang Yuan’s words were obvious, and everyone else could think of the same, but it was simply not feasible!

Jiang Yuan crouched on the ground, closely examining the red liquid.

"Someone come over, gather samples..."

"Yes, Professor Jiang—"

That day several people had left the lab and hadn’t returned; there weren’t many left.

Was he trying to study this?

If possible, could they then distinguish what was different?

Jhiang Yuan didn’t dare to speak more, watching Jiang Yuan and his assistant collect samples.
