Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 457: The People of Half Moon Lake

Song Yi deeply agreed, and Jhiang Yuan’s thoughts perfectly aligned with his.

"Yes, if he doesn’t know, then it’s fine.

But if he knows, that would be too dangerous.

I always have this not-so-good premonition, do you believe me?"

"I believe you, let’s do this, I’ll go with you."

Song Yi did not refuse, as Jhiang Yuan was more eager than anyone for a time of peace.

This, he knew too.

"Alright, let’s go now."

"Okay, wait a moment, I’ll go and tell Mianmian."

The furniture here had already been delivered, and Zhang Tiezhu and Ye Mianmian were sorting it out.

In addition, there wasn’t much stuff in the house, so there was not much need for help.

"Sister Yuan, let me come with you!"

"No need, you and Tiezhu tidy up nicely. I’ll just go there and come back."

She wasn’t too worried, with Song Yi accompanying her.

"Then okay, just be careful."

"Alright~"

The two directly headed to Camp Commander Xie’s territory, where they had a separate place.

Aside from living there, they mainly worked there too.

This was Jhiang Yuan’s first visit, but Song Yi was already well-acquainted with the route.

This resembled an interrogation room, and Camp Commander Xie was sitting on a chair, listening to his subordinates questioning him.

"Song Yi, you’ve arrived, bring over two chairs."

He clearly knew their purpose too.

"So, any progress?"

"As stubborn as ever, insists that he was just trying to scare Jhiang Yuan because he was afraid of being punished."

"Let me do it!"

"Alright!"

Song Yi said, then went to the front.

"Ouch, didn’t I tell you? It was this female comrade who burned down the warehouse, and now I’m the only one on duty here.

If the higher-ups blame comes down, I can’t bear it, and so much stuff just gone like that.

What to do if more people come later? We can’t just let everyone freeze."

This person spoke earnestly as if it was really the case.

But Song Yi could clearly sense that his gaze was somewhat evasive.

Despite his desperate attempt to hide it, Song Yi still caught it.

"Yuanyuan, go outside for a bit."

"Why?"

She had just come in, and now she was being asked to leave, even though they were supposed to interrogate the suspect.

"The scene that follows might not be suitable for you to watch. Hurry, go and be obedient."

Uh-oh!

Was Song Yi possibly...?

"Alright, just keep it within limits."

Jhiang Yuan said and went out.

Now, due to the special circumstances, those values of benevolence, morality, respect, wisdom, and trust were long gone.

This person’s life was like that of an insect.

At least, they still had their principles, not bullying others without reason.

Jhiang Yuan stood at the doorway, where it had been sunny for many days now.

There were no more puddles on the road, and the temperature these past few days had been on a steady rise.

Looking around, there truly was a hint of spring in the air.

According to the days, it should be the end of August now.

Last year the problem had occurred in October, and now it had been nearly a year.

After so much had happened, and still not over, she really didn’t know when it would end!

Thinking this, she then heard howling from inside.

Song Yi indeed had his methods.

She had always felt that this man was dangerous, but they still worked together.

Later, when the two developed feelings for each other, the wariness lessened a bit.

About twenty minutes later, someone came to call her.

"Jhiang Yuan comrade, the Commander is calling you in."

"Alright!"

As soon as they reached the gate, they saw Song Yi wiping his hands, the man already on his last breath.

Wow, these methods were truly ruthless.

She sighed quietly to herself and didn’t say much.

Later, she would still need to ask about these tactics to pry open someone’s mouth.

"Yuanyuan, come and sit!"

Song Yi, acting as if nothing had happened, was still calling out to her.

"Okay!"

She sat behind, side by side with Camp Commander Xie, with Song Yi in front of them.

He felt very different from usual, a somber air about him.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Tie in with that, he was indeed trying to extract some information, just waiting for her now.

Such respect, definitely from Song Yi.

The man slowly raised his head and a smile curled at his lips.

Already quite disheveled, he looked especially sinister.

"Song Yi, don’t you remember me?"

This question took Song Yi by surprise.

"So, who exactly are you? Just get to the point."

The man across saw Song Yi’s indifferent expression and just laughed out loud.

"Second Master Teng was right, you indeed aren’t a kind-hearted person."

What now?

Second Master Teng!

This sparked Song Yi’s interest; he might even be an old acquaintance!

"Are you from Half Moon Lake?"

"Yes, you really want to know our secrets, right!

Then beg me, hahaha~"

Song Yi looked at his maniacal demeanor with great patience.

He pulled out a short dagger from his hand, emitting a confident aura.

"You need to understand, you’re the one begging me now.

If I’m in a good mood, I might even let you off the hook.

As for your secrets, not everyone is interested."

The man looked at him in disbelief.

"I can’t believe it, how could you possibly not be curious?"

"What’s the use of being curious? What kind of times are we living in? I only care about whether I can survive, do you understand?"

With those words, the other party immediately deflated like a punctured ball.

"Alright, it looks like I’ve trapped myself."

"Then confess quickly, and strive for leniency."

Camp Commander Xie slammed the table, his presence overpowering.

"Fine, then I’ll tell you, since none of us will live much longer anyway.

Die with some clarity; don’t thank me too much, hahaha~"

As he said this, Jhiang Yuan’s heart began to pound.

There always were many secrets there, so what did he mean by that now?

"Half Moon Lake was created to protect the Insect Queen, initially with even more people.

Gradually, some started to leave the mountain, which led to the village’s decline."

No wonder there were so many vacant houses in such a big place.

Now it all seemed to make sense.

"Get to the point, the Insect Queen you’re protecting is not that giant insect.

Why did everyone die except for you?"

Song Yi watched him closely, not missing a single microexpression.

"Yes, everyone was gone, only I was left.

When I arrived, the village was already razed to the ground, and no one survived.

That earthquake was the end."

He kept talking to himself, but Jhiang Yuan was even more confused.

What did that mean?

He knew Song Yi, which meant he had seen them visiting the village.

For an earthquake to occur just two days later.

This man had also left during that time; what exactly was going on?
