Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 460: The Magical Fragrance

The leaders had spoken, and things indeed got a bit better.

"Don’t rush, eat up!"

Song Yi offered some comfort as well, but she wasn’t actually worried.

Ye Mianmian followed Zhang Tiezhu to toast, but instead of alcohol, it was water.

There was no helping it, given the limited conditions.

"Sister Yuan, Brother Song, uncle, auntie, thank you for always taking care of me. Everything goes without saying, Tiezhu and I toast to you all."

"Good child, now that you have your own home, you must lead a good life."

It was Qin Yue who spoke, having watched Ye Mianmian grow up.

Having been through so much together, life-and-death separations, their feelings for one another were naturally beyond words.

"Mianmian, bless you and Tiezhu, may you both live well from now on."

Jhiang Yuan felt quite emotional; they were getting married already.

From now on, the responsibility of protecting Ye Mianmian would fall on Zhang Tiezhu.

She would naturally help, but she wouldn’t be the main one anymore.

Without further delay, since they needed to visit other tables, they quickly concluded their visit.

There was no need to talk too much at that moment; there were still long days ahead of them.

Once everyone finished eating, they sent the couple back.

There weren’t any other arrangements, and the wedding ceremony came to an end just like that.

"Yuanyuan, let’s go and have a look, then head back later,"

Song Yi took her by the hand, and she understood instantly.

"Okay, Mom, you go back with Mianmian and the others. I’m going out for a bit."

"Alright, just be careful.

Xiao Song, look after Yuanyuan for me."

"Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect her well."

Qin Yue had gotten used to Jhiang Yuan being outdoors, and even if she tried to stop her, she wouldn’t be able to.

Moreover, with Song Yi by her side, she felt reassured.

When the two of them got to the entrance, they met with some Guard Army personnel and followed them to see what had happened.

At the rear of the base, near the mountainous area, a large section of ground had unexpectedly collapsed.

A huge area had completely sunk in.

It looked very odd, as if the space beneath had been hollowed out, and the surface layer couldn’t bear the weight anymore.

"What happened here?"

"No idea, look at the size of this area, it’s all sunk."

Camp Commander Xie said this as he pointed around.

It wasn’t small; the size of the subsided area could be estimated to be around fifty square meters.

"Investigate this thoroughly, it can’t just sink all of a sudden; there could be a problem."

"Indeed!"

Camp Commander Xie sighed deeply, nowadays everyone was on high alert.

There was no choice! Nature’s counterattack left humanity without a foothold.

"Right, Dong Dali instructed us to go to the office and talk about it."

"Okay!"

They probably didn’t have any pressing matters here; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so casual about it.

Moreover, since the incident didn’t occur on the base and there were no casualties.

Camp Commander Xie left some people behind and had someone call Jiang Yuan and others to come and have a look as well.

Jhiang Yuan was quite anxious. Dong Dali was one of the remaining people from Half Moon Lake.

There were too many secrets there, and it was all related to the bug problem.

If he were to confess everything, that would indeed be good news.

Once they arrived at the office, Camp Commander Xie did not seem to be in a hurry.

He poured hot water for the two of them and then handed a file to Song Yi.

It should be his confession, which ordinarily should not be disclosed.

Probably only because of Song Yi, who was held in high regard and was capable, was an exception made.

"Dong Dali said that the bugs were his doing.

He had a fragrance that could attract all the bugs in the vicinity."

No matter the size or maturity, they can all be used.

That’s also why he was able to raise so many at once."

As she said this, Jiang Yuan felt extremely astonished.

"You mean, those insects will come over from other places to flock to him.

But won’t the insects harm him?

Living together day and night, he probably has to provide them with nutrient solution or something, how could it be so simple?"

"Yes, those insects probably won’t harm him.

As for why, I’m not very clear, he didn’t say."

Song Yi had been listening this whole time, and now his brow finally relaxed.

"Keep asking, if we can solve this problem, we’ll have an effective way to avoid the insects."

Upon hearing this, Camp Commander Xie instantly stood up.

"Right, you’re so right.

If everyone could be like Dong Dali, not attacked by insects, even able to live with them in peace.

Then the threat of the insects would be nil."

"That’s the idea, don’t make a fuss, continue the interrogation."

"Alright, someone–"

Camp Commander Xie didn’t go himself, but instead delegated the task.

All matters of security at the base were his responsibility.

Of course, it wasn’t possible for him to take care of everything personally, nor did he have that much time and energy.

"Right, that depression in the back also needs to be watched closely."

Hearing him say this, the other person also took it seriously.

"Brother Song, is there something you want to say?"

"A dike breaks because of an ant hole, you’ve heard that saying, right?"

"What do you mean?"

As he spoke, he unconsciously tensed up.

"Just afraid of the ’what if’!"

No need for an explanation, Jiang Yuan had guessed as much.

It’s nothing but the fear that, if there were too many insects underneath, this kind of situation is very possible.

In which case, for them, it would be a disaster.

Especially without any defense, it would be too terrifying.

For now, all that could be done was to keep watch and report back any news promptly.

"Right, that fragrance Dong Dali mentioned, is there any left?"

"There’s some, quite a bit really, all in his dorm."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded.

"I have an idea, see if it’s feasible.

If this thing is really as miraculous, could we not requisition it?

Attract all the surrounding insects to one place and then wipe them out at once."

Her suggestion could clean out the insects over a certain area.

"Perhaps, it really is an idea.

If the insects everywhere are the same, does that mean they could all be dealt with using this substance?"

Camp Commander Xie posed his own question, and Song Yi found it reasonable.

"Also, the previous pimples and insects were all related to that heavy rain.

This recent outbreak also happened after it had rained, could it be that the insects are related to it too?"

As she made this connection, the other two also began to ponder.

"That previous rainstorm was very heavy, it was a downpour.

The rain a couple of days ago was much milder, like spring rain, just a continuous drizzle.

If it’s all connected, last year it rained for a month or two."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan shook her head.

"It might not be the same, think about it, a sudden heavy rain, that intense.

And there was wind, insect eggs are likely very light in weight.

This matter, we still have to ask Dong Dali, see if he knows any inside story!"
