Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 427 Camp Commander Xie’s Pressure

Song Yi shook his head, still disagreeing, "Do you remember what that old lady said before?"

"You mean the custom of sending the dead over?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Yuan looked at the two of them, somewhat puzzled.

"What’s the deal with the old lady again?"

Jhiang Yuan then realized he was clueless and told him about the previous events and everyone’s speculations.

"So, that big bug must have existed right from the start.

But if the villagers did that, they must have known quite a few secrets.

Yet, they all died in that earthquake, which is indeed very strange."

"It’s not so strange when you think about it, it was an earthquake after all.

It wasn’t due to human intervention, and moreover, after that, the entire village was leveled.

At that time, seeing the blood seeping out of those crevices and hearing people’s cries for help was incredibly haunting."

Later, whenever Jhiang Yuan recalled this event, he was always restless.

The insignificance of man was magnified indefinitely.

The feeling that a step forward meant life, a step slow meant death was too real.

Especially every time he saw Jingjing, it would remind him of Xiao Ling and Liang Kang. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

They had left together but ended up separated by life and death.

Moreover, with the unknown dangers that loomed every day, it only added to the uneasiness.

"That village, indeed, had many unusual aspects.

Unfortunately, due to the urgency, we couldn’t gather any information."

Jhiang Yuan nodded. He had thought that reaching Half Moon Lake meant a new life.

Little did he know, it was a new life for all to die—indeed a new beginning.

The starting point of new life but not for them, it was for those bugs."

"Moreover, that village was very united and very exclusive.

It’s the kind where they don’t say much overtly, but the implications are always there, suggesting you shouldn’t stay long.

If you are polite, you could be treated well.

If not, their methods could be very fierce."

At that time, Mo Qi and his gang, even armed with real guns and bullets, were captured.

If it were ordinary people, they probably wouldn’t even know how they died."

Having said that, he briefly discussed the abnormal behaviors of that side with Jiang Yuan.

After listening, he too was rather pensive.

"If only someone from there were here, I think many mysteries could be unraveled," he said.

Song Yi didn’t seem too concerned, now talking about those things was useless, after all, it was impossible.

"Alright, let’s go check the medical room to see if Camp Commander Xie has left yet," Song Yi said.

It was getting late, and Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to delay, so he politely asked, and unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan took the hint and followed along.

Song Yi gave him a disapproving glance, somewhat reluctantly.

However, he didn’t say much in the end.

Old Ding had already fallen asleep, Camp Commander Xie had stayed for half of the afternoon.

Now, there were also people specifically guarding it, ensuring no one disturbed him.

The group then went to Camp Commander Xie’s office to look for him, and sure enough, he was there.

"Please, sit down..."

The man was very polite, personally pouring tea for everyone.

"You wanted to ask about Old Ding?"

"Indeed," Song Yi said concisely, picked up the teacup, blew on it, and handed it to Jhiang Yuan.

She was a bit embarrassed but since no one was watching her, she took it anyway.

"Old Ding’s injury isn’t serious, the doctor said that the cut wasn’t a big deal.

It was just the tweezers stirring inside a bit that made it uncomfortable, but there wasn’t any substantial damage."

"Hmm, are there any aftereffects from that bug?"

Jiang Yuan was quite concerned about this person.

After all, he had caused the wound himself, though it was to save a life, but he still needed to show concern!

"So far none, but we are still in the observation period.

The higher-ups are taking this matter very seriously too.

They are just worried that the bug might be difficult to control, and if so, it could cause a series of troubles for everyone."

Camp Commander Xie’s words were understood by everyone.

If the bug isn’t completely dealt with, it would definitely be an endless source of trouble.

"By the way, Camp Commander Xie, has Old Ding shown any abnormalities recently?"

Song Yi asked very directly, knowing that the commander took this matter to heart and had been present during the incidents.

And since it wasn’t a secret and was a time needing collective wisdom, he didn’t hide anything.

"He hasn’t said anything, just moving between the dormitory and the duty office, and then to the dining hall.

The route isn’t long, so naturally, there isn’t anything special."

Jhiang Yuan felt even more uneasy upon hearing this.

"If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that he was infested by the bug previously?

It just didn’t manifest until now because the weather is getting warmer, so..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

"There’s another possibility, that the bug entered his body without anyone realizing it.

After all, this bug is no ordinary bug; it can even penetrate glass."

Jiang Yuan looked distressed. This matter had troubled him for a long time.

The last time it had moved through the sole of a shoe, and now it’s not even stopped by glass; his entire worldview had been challenged.

"We don’t have other options right now; we can only take it one step at a time.

Nobody knows what’s really going on, and we can’t get any useful information from Old Ding."

Camp Commander Xie was also in a difficult position, as he was in charge of Half Moon Lake operations.

Now that the complications are occurring at the base camp, he’s even more troubled.

"To be honest, during the meeting just now, someone suggested, could it be that we didn’t clean up well enough last time at Half Moon Lake?"

He rubbed his temples, obviously affected by this issue.

"That possibility is quite small, the journey is too long, and most were only larvae, lacking strong combat capabilities.

Moreover, small bugs had appeared here before, so it’s probably not an isolated case.

In that case, Camp Commander Xie, please check the details of all the affected individuals.

See if there are any similarities, and then we can plan accordingly."

Camp Commander Xie brightened up upon hearing this.

"Right, how could I have forgotten that!"

The suggestion was like an epiphany.

Everyone didn’t stay long since Camp Commander Xie had other matters, and it would be impolite for us to linger.

"Let’s go eat then!"

"No need, you go ahead, we’ve still got instant noodles."

Before Jhiang Yuan could respond, Song Yi immediately refused.

This person, always up to something.

She and Jiang Yuan were just old classmates, still maintaining a lot of friendship.

"Alright then, Yuanyuan, if there’s any progress, I’ll let you know."

"Okay~"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to say much either, she didn’t want to go eat, there’s plenty in the storage anyway."
