Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 449: Tough Measures

The next day, the entire base was in uproar again.

Yuanyuan and Song Yi only went out after hearing the noises.

Here in the living area, there was also a state of emergency.

Because of his reason, the guards around them recognized him, so they didn’t hide the truth.

"Those with worms in them have started to make trouble," he said.

"Why?" she asked.

Jhiang Yuan was deeply puzzled; if they had worms, the infirmary could help them remove them.

And it was free of charge, no cost whatsoever.

Latter, those who didn’t want the worms removed, fearing for their lives, were also allowed to refuse.

"It seems that someone’s worm acted up, and he lost his life,

and many others were affected too. The whole area was locked down, completely inescapable.

Latter, Camp Commander Xie led people over to exterminate the worms.

That’s when they revolted, prepared to demand an explanation."

At this point, Jhiang Yuan finally understood.

The crowd was just a mob; surely they were no match for Song Yi’s skills.

Once the worms emerged, they certainly had no means to cause trouble.

Those who refused to remove the worms did so just to live a few more days.

But when someone else’s worm emerged and their own safety was threatened, they naturally objected.

"Let’s go have a look."

"Okay, be careful," he responded,

then let them pass.

Song Yi took Jhiang Yuan’s hand, and the two headed over together.

"These people are too selfish; now that their own interests are affected, they can’t sit still," she remarked.

"Yes, they just wanted to live a little longer.

If it’s because of others that they lose their lives, they might as well have the worms removed and take a chance."

Their true colors were now completely exposed.

If Jhiang Yuan and Song Yi could see this, how could Camp Commander Xie and others not?

When they arrived at the dormitory, which was a temporary one, previously likely used for storage,

the space wasn’t very large, but it was bearable on the ground level.

By the time they arrived, the negotiations were already intensely heated.

"Camp Commander Xie, you can’t treat us this way.

We’re already miserable enough," someone pleaded.

Camp Commander Xie looked at the person, his expression stern.

"You’re miserable, but aren’t we too?

We went to great lengths to save everyone,

but have you all ever considered our feelings?

We asked you to cooperate with the investigation, and none of you did. Now that there’s trouble, you’re blaming us.

In the world, there’s no such good deal."

At these words, the crowd began to grow restless again.

"What you’re saying is wrong. Protecting the security of the people is your responsibility,

Now that everybody’s life safety is threatened, shouldn’t you protect us?"

"You’re right; we should protect the people,

but your bodies are unclean, and you don’t cooperate, threatening the safety of the majority. You’re like hostile forces.

Honestly, if anyone wants to come out, do it now.

We’re right here at the entrance to remove your worms. Clean, you can go to the rest area.

If not clean, or if you lose your life, then I’m sorry."

The air began to tense, and even Jhiang Yuan sensed something was amiss.

"What’s wrong?" she questioned.

Possibly due to gripping Song Yi’s hand too tightly, he also felt it.

"It’s nothing, is Camp Commander Xie about to take drastic measures?"

"Probably, don’t be nervous, regardless of how you look at it, they had it coming.

This is their last chance. If they don’t cherish it,

sooner or later, they’re bound to die."

When Song Yi said this, his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a group of dead people.

"You all should stop with the moral hijacking.

All things are mutual; if you’re willing to come out."

"Hurry up and join this queue, only one person can come out at a time."

"After someone finishes, then it’s the next one’s turn."

"Don’t overthink, even if you remove the bugs yourself, we aren’t scared."

"Come on~"

As he spoke, Camp Commander Xie gestured with his hand, and immediately a group of people came over.

They all held dry firewood in their hands, skillfully placing it in a circle nearby.

The people inside visibly panicked.

"You’re plotting to rob and harm us, I want to see your leader, let us out."

"Yes, let us out."

One person took the lead, and the rest began to shout along.

But the iron door was too sturdy.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t shake it open.

Camp Commander Xie’s expression unchanged, took the megaphone that was handed to him.

"Ahem, what I said just now still stands.

If you want to remove the bugs, hurry and line up.

If another case occurs inside, then I’m sorry."

His voice was very cold, matching the intensity when Song Yi was angry.

Jhiang Yuan even wondered if all those who had been soldiers and led teams had the same tone!

"I want to remove the bug, I want to get out."

Someone couldn’t take it anymore, shouted loudly, and then ran to join the queue.

The others were quick to follow.

They genuinely feared that even a second’s delay could be life-threatening.

They even started fighting over places in the line.

Camp Commander Xie glanced over but said nothing and moved to the front.

The situation outside had now stabilized, and Doctor Luo was also ready.

The field operating tables were all very basic.

"Doctor Luo, how are things?"

"We can start now."

The other party was already dressed and just waiting to start working.

Jhiang Yuan looked at Song Yi, somewhat puzzled.

"They are fighting over there; aren’t we going to do anything?"

"No, let them be. This will make them realize that we are serious and completely indifferent to whether these people live or die.

All right, don’t worry about those things now, let’s go find Jiang Yuan."

So, it seems it’s really an inherent flaw in their character.

When you talk nicely, they don’t listen; and when you ignore them, they become desperate."

Others who were there just to watch the excitement included some who had previously had bugs removed.

They were truly grateful for their earlier choices.

Otherwise, they’d be just like this crowd now.

Now, it was only Doctor Luo and a few assistants here.

Camp Commander Xie was also helping here, while the laboratory had no one coming over.

Jiang Yuan was unknown with what he was doing, but Song Yi also wanted to check it out.

To see if there had been any new discoveries.

Indeed, a group of people were bustling about.

When they reached the scene, no one even had time to speak.

The two exchanged glances and went straight out.

The others were busy with important things, and they weren’t the kind of people to intrude unseeingly.

It was time to leave, so they had to go.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a moment just for the two of them.

"Let’s go to the cafeteria, it’s about time, and besides, there are more people there.

You never know, we might catch some news."

Currently, that was the only place in the base where all sorts mixed together.

Who knew, just as they had settled down and hadn’t even started eating yet.

Jiang Yuan came running in hurriedly and sat down right next to Jhiang Yuan.

"Song Yi, Yuanyuan, I have good news."

Seeing his excited face, it was clear without saying that it was related to the bugs.

"Jiang Yuan, don’t rush, tell us slowly, what’s the matter!"
