Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 473: Second Master Teng Isn’t Dead

Jhiang Yuan also didn’t dare to be careless; before coming, she had taken with her a slightly shorter dagger.

Now she held it in front of her chest, ready to defend herself.

Yet, after a full circle, she saw no one.

"Could it be that we were mistaken?"

Camp Commander Xie was temporarily at a loss, but Song Yi felt as if something had been missed.

"Those pieces of firewood must have been burning only a short while ago.

If there were people here, in this temperature, they would definitely need to warm themselves.

It’s more manageable during the day, especially at night."

Song Yi began to conjecture; whenever he faced a problem, he liked to use this form of reasoning.

"Could it be that it was left from before, and now the person is no longer here?"

A person beside them chimed in, and that wasn’t without possibility.

"It’s better to be cautious.

If it’s really like that, then all is well.

But if not, then the person is near.

Seeing us coming, he alone would probably hide."

Listening to his analysis, Jhiang Yuan directly took over the conversation.

"But there’s nowhere around here suitable for hiding. The village at the foot of the mountain is far from here.

He wouldn’t be able to get there in a short while, and even if he could, our people are over there, so it’s impossible for them not to notice him.

What’s left is right before our eyes."

Once their thoughts converged, it became easy to reach the same conclusion.

Song Yi quite liked the feeling of being in sync like this.

"Continue!"

"If it’s on this side, then it’s the trees around.

Because they’ve been burned by the fire, there are no places left to hide now.

What’s left is this lake.

The water inside the lake, moreover, is very clear, and you can see everything at a glance.

Except for..."

At this point, her eyes lit up.

Song Yi slowly turned as well to look towards the rock in the middle of the lake.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that was the meteorite that had fallen during the meteor shower.

The inscriptions on it had also appeared out of nowhere.

All of it was so mysterious.

Song Yi walked over to Camp Commander Xie, whispered something, and then started to take action.

Everyone surrounded Half Moon Lake to examine the details inside.

Indeed, there was something like a reed straw near the rock.

It was particularly small, and the place it emerged from wasn’t very high.

Fortunately, Song Yi had brought binoculars today, and they were high-powered ones.

The person had been found, right in the middle of the lake.

The current issue was how to capture him, as swimming over was certainly impractical.

Tricky!

"Alright, no more hiding; I see you."

Jhiang Yuan was still racking her brain, thinking about what to do when Song Yi, that fellow, actually directly called out.

Was it that simple and crude?

"The water must be uncomfortable, right, with the weather so cold, don’t catch a cold.

Are you going to come up by yourself, or should we invite someone to help you up?"

Wow, he was really going for the big move, impressive!

In the water, there was still no movement.

Song Yi’s mouth curved slightly, and he said nothing more.

He took a small stone from his pocket and tossed it in.

It hit the meteorite precisely, then fell into the water, causing ripples to spread out.

"Oh my God~"

She couldn’t hold back and murmured to herself.

Realizing something was off, she quickly covered her mouth.

But nobody was looking at her; everyone’s attention was focused on the center of the lake.

As the ripples spread out, a series of bubbles unexpectedly appeared.

The lake water was still, which made this particularly noticeable.

"Wow~"

Immediately following, a soaking-wet person burst through the water.

Jhiang Yuan was stunned. Was it the threat that had worked, or had that stone from earlier scared the person?

Song Yi didn’t stop; he picked up another sizable chunk of wood from the ground and secured it with a rope.

He threw it over, landing right beside the man.

"Come over here~"

If he followed the rope over, it would indeed save some strength.

With the weather this cold, swimming over by oneself, plus not knowing how long he had been soaking.

There was a possibility of getting a cramp, which would not be good.

The man hesitated for just a moment before moving forward and grabbing the rope that was at hand.

The fish had taken the bait, and Song Yi had a look of determination.

"Brother Song, we’ll do it."

The guard beside him, very keenly, took the rope from him.

Pulling someone up was a task requiring strength, and Song Yi’s role was that of the mastermind.

On Jiang Yuan’s side, things had also come to an end, with no discoveries, so the situation seemed a bit better.

Naturally, he also heard the commotion over here.

As the man got closer, it was the two guards who pulled him up when he reached the edge.

When Jhiang Yuan saw his face clearly, she was also greatly surprised.

"Second Master Teng, how is it you? Weren’t you dead?"

Apart from Dong Dali and his few people, everyone from Half Moon Lake should have died in that earthquake.

"Young lady, we meet again."

The other person, however, was expressionless and very calm.

Song Yi immediately came over and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, his expression icy.

"Second Master Teng, you must be tired, go and change your clothes first!"

The other person also looked at Song Yi, his smile somewhat chilling.

"Sure, thank you!"

With not much to say between them, Second Master Teng was led away.

"Good heavens, Song Yi, how could it be him?"

Jhiang Yuan could no longer contain her emotions. A person assumed long dead suddenly appeared; wasn’t that utterly unbelievable?

"I don’t know what’s going on either, we’ll ask later, don’t worry."

"Okay!"

They didn’t have any change of clothes here, so they could only return to the base.

Today they had walked over, so naturally, they would walk back.

"Eh, why are you heading back?

Did you find any clues?"

Right on the return journey, they ran into He Lan, saving the trouble of having to look for her.

"Let’s talk on the way~"

Jiang Yuan didn’t bother explaining and was ready to leave immediately.

"Could this Second Master Teng still be in contact with Dong Dali?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Both were from Half Moon Lake, with a very clear hierarchy between them.

If it was said that Dong Dali was sent by Second Master Teng, it would make sense.

"I don’t know, we’ll just ask later.

Why do you think he showed up?

He was the renowned village head of Half Moon Lake; he couldn’t possibly have just that much up his sleeve."

Therefore, his current behavior indicated he had another agenda.

Intending to harm them was likely impossible since he was alone.

So was it that he needed something from them?

The only explanation seemed to be those bugs.

They might have reached a point beyond his control, hence wanting to appeal to other, more powerful people for help could also be a possibility.

That’s what Jhiang Yuan thought to herself, but she didn’t say it out loud.

The situation seemed to become even more confusing and headache-inducing.

Upon arriving at the base, they went straight to Camp Commander Xie’s reception room.

Second Master Teng, who had changed his clothes, regained his usual demeanor.

Looking at everyone, he didn’t show the slightest sign of weakness.

Song Yi too didn’t say much and even poured a cup of hot water, handing it to him.

"Song Yi, is it? Thank you.

I didn’t expect you all to still be alive!"
