Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 470: Starting Early

"It’s nothing serious, I’m probably just too tired. I’ll be fine after some rest."

"Then you should go back and rest now, why are you still standing here?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tiezhu gave a simple, honest smile, revealing a row of big white teeth.

"Just now, I saw through the window that you all had returned, so I thought I’d come out to greet you."

It seemed that this fellow really did care a lot about Ye Mianmian.

"Then hurry back, and pay attention. If you feel unwell, go straight to the infirmary."

"Okay!"

After saying goodbye, she didn’t say much more and headed to her room.

But she was intercepted by Song Yi.

He directly pulled her into his room.

"Yuanyuan, how can there still be so many insects?

I always feel that this matter isn’t over yet. For now, we have only cleared the ones near our base, but other places haven’t been touched."

She understood what he meant.

"Elder Feng already mentioned before that the other bases are also experiencing this insect plague. The location we’re at is just a small part.

If it’s a widespread infestation, that would be really dangerous."

"Isn’t that the truth? The urgent task is to figure out if there are still many insects around.

Enduring wave after wave like this, we simply cannot afford it."

As he spoke, he sighed deeply.

Seeing this, Jhiang Yuan took his hand.

"Song Yi, don’t worry. We still have our last secret weapon.

If it really becomes unbearable, then we can talk about it."

What she was talking about was the space.

"Yuanyuan, I’ve been having some bad premonitions lately."

As he spoke, Song Yi furrowed his brow.

"What do you mean?"

"Look, these insects are the same as the previous extreme heat, extreme cold, torrential rain, and blizzards.

It’s just that one is a natural disaster, and the other is a living organism.

But insects are also part of nature, and what we might be experiencing is also a part of a natural catastrophe."

They had talked about this before; it wasn’t surprising.

"So what?"

She asked directly for the main point, choosing to ignore the known process.

"You see, previous events lasted a few months and then ended.

They weren’t long-term. I feel that this insect plague will be the same."

Upon hearing this, Jhiang Yuan suddenly felt a chill on her scalp.

"But if a full-blown outbreak happens later, wouldn’t that be too dangerous?

There are so many insects, we have no idea how many exactly there are.

If they all emerge, none of the surviving people will probably escape."

The image of a swarm of insects attacking a person was indeed hard to accept.

Song Yi also sighed and held Jhiang Yuan in his arms.

"I’m worried, too. We are so insignificant now.

Most people have already died in the disasters.

We thought the earthquakes were the end, but it turned out that was just the beginning.

I’m afraid as well."

This man seldom showed weakness.

This time, he must have been genuinely concerned.

Not only for himself but also for Jhiang Yuan and the others, he feared that his capabilities would not be enough to protect these people.

"It’s alright, we’ve overcome so many disasters already. Things will get better with the issues that follow."

That is what she said, but she was extremely worried as well.

The next day, she discussed with the Guard Army, and all personnel were to be mobilized to go out and search for insects.

Perhaps the other places were infected too.

Previously, the goal was to rejuvenate the base and create a comfortable environment for the survivors.

Now, it was about survival, so everyone had to take action.

But it wasn’t mandatory; everyone volunteered, the same as the several times before when they had been summoned.

Jhiang Xingzhi also wanted to go, but Jhiang Yuan did not agree.

With the situation being so urgent at the moment, it was safer to stay inside the space.

They still went to the cave from yesterday, where Dong Dali was now being treated well.

He no longer needed to be tied up or gagged.

This whole situation had far exceeded his expectations.

Whether sincerely or not, he started to help out with the tasks.

"Song Yi, Yuanyuan, this side is ready, and the ice inside has loosened up.

We’re planning to start early, heat the inside, and draw out all the insects."

"So urgent?"

Are all the preparations in place?

"We want to catch them all before they get their act together."

Adult insects have a higher tolerance than the larvae, and the same logic applies even if we use fire. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"That’s good, how are the preparations going?"

"Almost done, just waiting to begin. We’re planning to have Dong Dali do it today."

"Him? Is that okay?"

Not just Jhiang Yuan, Song Yi was also surprised.

"Yes, now he’s also scared and volunteered himself.

Later on, we’ll call a few more people to keep an eye on him, so there won’t be any problems."

That is to say, if he tries any tricks.

Before the insects can kill him, our people here will strike first.

"That’s fine, after all, he does have experience~"

...

After the discussion, they began to make preparations.

Jhiang Yuan followed Song Yi to check on Dong Dali.

The four people beside him were special police, keeping an unwavering gaze on him, making escape impossible.

"How is it going?"

He was busy with the Insect Attraction Incense and jumped at the sound of Song Yi’s voice.

"It’s okay, I won’t have any problems.

But there isn’t much incense left, we need to use it wisely because once it’s gone, it’s really gone."

Jhiang Yuan watched his movements without speaking.

The fact that this thing could attract insects was baffling in itself.

"Then tell me, if we run out of this incense, what other methods are there to attract the insects?"

"There aren’t any, this is the only thing I know."

"What is the incense made of, then? Perhaps we could try making it ourselves."

Upon hearing this, the other party just shook his head.

It was almost as if he was mocking her naivety, but Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to engage in a war of words.

Soon, the preparations on the other side were complete, signaling for them to begin.

Dong Dali stepped forward confidently and lit a stick of incense.

The cave entrance was covered with a huge sheet of plastic; it was not only airtight but also transparent.

"Here they come~"

Soon, a rustling sound could be heard.

Everyone held their breath and observed the situation inside with an intense focus.

The insects, indeed, moved quickly, swarming en masse and reaching the entrance in an instant.

"What are you doing?"

Coming back to their senses, they saw Dong Dali struggling, trying to jump into the pit before him.

The pit was dug to dispose of the insects, and it was clear what fate would befall anyone who went down now.

"Don’t mind me~"

However, in the end, he couldn’t struggle free from the four of them and was restrained.

Song Yi walked over and gave him a slap on the face.

Only a fool would go to their death willingly. Dong Dali’s actions were definitely driven by his own agenda.

"Spill it, what are you hiding? Otherwise, I’ll end you right here," Song Yi threatened as he pulled out a handgun from his pocket.
