Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 437 The Connection between Insects

"Be careful~"

Song Yi, just across from him, quickly shouted a warning.

The insect’s speed was extremely fast, clearly on par with that of a mature one.

The assistant was also scared and hurriedly moved backward, which was precisely where Jhiang Yuan was standing.

She had been ready all along, stepping forward two paces to pull the person away.

Aiming at the insect on the ground, she activated the ignition gun.

Blue flames spurted out, and the insect began to writhe instantly.

The fight on Song Yi’s side had ended, and he came over to reinforce.

Fortunately, everything was settled now.

"That was close, thanks to Yuanyuan just now."

Jiang Yuan also let out a sigh of relief, as there had been too many unexpected incidents during the day.

In their infirmary, they were now down one staff member.

"Comrade Jhiang Yuan, thank you!"

The assistant just now had actually bowed deeply at 90 degrees to her.

"It’s nothing, don’t be like this, haha, helping each other out is what we should do."

Although that’s what she said, the other person still felt very grateful.

His colleague had been compromised by an insect, and that’s why they were no longer around.

The group went over to check on Zhang Kaiyang’s condition. The anesthesia hadn’t worn off yet, and he was still sleeping, dazed and heavy.

"Let’s head back for now then. There are people keeping watch here, so it’s no trouble," said Doctor Luo, and nobody else objected.

After all, they needed to rest too. Such high-intensity work was naturally exhausting.

"Doctor Luo, may I stay here with him?" Fan Qing didn’t want to leave and wished to stay behind.

"Sure, you can stay inside then. There’s an empty bed available, and you can also lie down for a bit."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor.

Sister Yuan, you guys go back then; you’ve been of great help today."

She expressed her gratitude very sincerely. If not for Jhiang Yuan and Song Yi, Zhang Kaiyang would have probably been in grave danger today.

"Alright, then if something comes up, just talk to Doctor Luo."

"Mhm, don’t worry, Sister Yuan."

Having been through so much, she had already grown up fast.

Everyone hurried to disinfect before heading back.

It was almost eleven o’clock now, and the delay meant it was already the middle of the night.

Song Yi was not bothered, as he wouldn’t get tired; he was just concerned that Jhiang Yuan might not hold up.

On the way, he cautiously took her hand.

The two of them walked behind the others, unnoticed by anyone.

Or perhaps, Zhang Tiezhu was more eager to have some alone time with Ye Mianmian.

Jhiang Yuan did not refuse, instead, clasping his hand back.

The man was delighted, feeling as if the whole world brightened up in an instant.

Upon reaching the residential area, since they had gone out because of the insects, they had to go through a series of disinfection procedures.

Everyone cooperated fully, as it was related to their personal safety and was not to be taken lightly.

Song Yi escorted Jhiang Yuan to her door, both reluctant to part.

"Tomorrow, let’s all go help out as well, and we can check on how Kaiyang is doing," she said.

"Alright, then you should sleep early. I’ll come over to wake you up in the morning."

"Okay!"

Just as Jhiang Yuan was about to close the door, Song Yi suddenly held it back.

"Is there something else?"

He pursed his lips, a hint of longing in his eyes.

"No, sleep well!"

After saying that, he let go of the door.

Jhiang Yuan was somewhat speechless, not expecting him to be so awkward.

Indeed, it’s time to sleep soon. Tomorrow is likely to be busy.

Early the next day, she related the events regarding Zhang Kaiyang.

Her parents were quite upset to hear that their own people had encountered such problems.

"Yuanyuan, did Kaiyang attract these things while he was at Half Moon Lake?"

"No one can say for sure what’s happening over there, the possibility exists, of course."

"But many people have never been and still show similar symptoms."

"Plus, there are two on him, when before, we’ve only encountered one."

Jhiang Yuan was completely baffled. What on earth was going on?

Moreover, she could clearly feel that the insects on him were more vicious, and they moved faster.

Was it because they were closer to becoming mature insects? Or was there some other reason? It was incomprehensible, utterly incomprehensible.

"I’m just worried because you’ve been over there, and so have Mianmian and the others.

If it really happened there, that would be terrifying.

What if it got inside early on, like hiding inside a flower bud?

Then my dad, and the two children, would all be in great danger."

The more Qin Yue analyzed, the more frightened she became.

"Yes, if it really is like that, then I guess none of us are safe.

Zhang Kaiyang was itchy at the beginning, but he just thought it was because he hadn’t bathed in a long time, so he put off dealing with it."

"Dad, Mom, we really need to learn from this lesson!"

"Yeah, don’t worry, my girl, no one takes their own life for a jest.

These past days have been much warmer, and with this drizzle, it’s likely to warm up even more once it stops.

Do you think the sudden severity of the insects could be related to the temperature?"

Now that Jhiang Xingzhi mentioned it, she actually had some thoughts on the matter.

Moreover, Song Yi had said that the insects hid in puddles to avoid fire.

But when they had gone over there earlier, they hadn’t seen any insects on the ground.

Zhang Kaiyang’s situation had arisen so suddenly, they hadn’t had the chance to ask him properly.

Later, she must hurry to get things clear.

"Mom and Dad, you stay here, I’m going to go out.

I’ll join them for a meal in the restaurant later, then head over to the health room."

"Be extra careful, take this with you."

With that, Qin Yue handed her a small bottle of alcohol spray.

In a critical moment, it might really save a life.

No sooner had she stepped out the door than Song Yi also came out.

Seeing Jhiang Yuan, he smiled knowingly.

"Let’s go, let’s wake up the other two."

"Alright!"

Once everyone was ready, they set off.

"Song Yi, what you mentioned yesterday about the insects hiding in puddles, what’s that all about?"

Hearing the question, he didn’t delay and quickly explained.

"It’s about those insects, they initially attacked people, but then started moving outward.

There were too many people yesterday, and many, like Zhang Kaiyang,

had several pimples on their bodies."

"What?"

Not only was Jhiang Yuan stunned, but Ye Mianmian was also extremely surprised.

They thought Zhang Kaiyang’s case was unique enough.

They had no idea it wasn’t the first.

No wonder Doctor Luo and his team didn’t discuss this yesterday.

And why they split the work with Jiang Yuan so naturally. So that was it!

"Yes, that’s it. There were even up to nine pimples on one person at the same time."

"Good heavens, how do you deal with that?"

"At first, we wanted to handle them one by one.

But it seemed like there was some sort of connection between the pimples.

When one acted up, the others would start to stir.

And even, they would choose extreme methods to break through the skin."

"Then that person’s prospects must not be good, right?"

Jhiang Yuan watched him, not daring to miss any expression on his face.

"Yes, he’s gone. Those insects also killed two other people.

One of them was in the health room. Now you understand why the assistant yesterday was so grateful to you, right?"
