Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 474 Facing Danger

Within the words spoken, there actually was a trace of admiration.

"Yes, I didn’t expect you to still be alive either~"

Song Yi shot back directly, unwilling to be at a disadvantage.

Second Master Teng laughed at himself and shook his head.

Camp Commander Xie stood up beside him, it was more appropriate for him, a stranger, to handle this matter.

"Second Master Teng, as you know, this is the situation now.

Our place here is the last sanctuary.

If you want to live, you’d better cooperate with us."

Upon hearing this, a trace of vicissitude flashed through the old gentleman’s eyes.

"You’re right, now I don’t have any other choice.

Tell me what you want to know."

It was quite the attitude of "a tiger being bullied by a dog when it lands on flat ground."

"What do you know about the bugs?"

Camp Commander Xie didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked the main question.

"Bugs, ah, they are the Insect Queen’s offspring, her hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren.

Half Moon Lake Village has been guarding a secret all along.

The Insect Queen is a symbol of good fortune.

By my generation, many young people have left, having received modern education, no longer loyal to the village.

The Insect Queen became angry, and that’s what has led to the current situation."

Well, that did sound rather far-fetched.

"Second Master Teng, let’s not mince our words here, stop beating around the bush.

We want to know the whole process of the event.

Don’t worry, whatever you were promised, it will be done."

Song Yi was seated on a chair, not even standing up, and even crossed his legs.

A demeanor that left no doubt about his determination.

Upon hearing this, the other party suddenly burst into laughter.

There was no sign of embarrassment at being seen through, which was quite impressive.

"Very well, young man, I indeed wasn’t wrong about you.

Some people are just naturally born leaders."

Having heard this, Camp Commander Xie knew that he would probably begin to talk about the important points.

He quickly gestured for someone to take notes.

"Our Half Moon Lake Village has been protecting the Insect Queen for generations.

That is the big bug you saw, which had always been peaceful.

The Insect Queen has her own rules for survival, which, specifically, I’m not sure of.

But the earthquake leveled the entire village, and still, the Insect Queen was unharmed, as you have seen."

Indeed, those few trees were exceptionally conspicuous.

Trying to ignore them would have been impossible.

"If the Insect Queen is so powerful, then why did she end up being burned to death?"

Song Yi’s counter-question made Second Master Teng somewhat awkward.

"Ah, that’s because her lifespan was up."

"What do you mean?"

"The Insect Queen had lived for a very long time. By my generation, I was already the fifty-sixth Guardian.

Since last year, disasters were looming, and everything became particularly tricky.

The time of the Insect Queen’s demise had also arrived."

What he said was too unbelievable.

Seeing that no one was speaking, he continued to explain.

"You must have also heard of Half Moon Lake as the place of rebirth.

With the Insect Queen’s death comes rebirth!"

At these words, Song Yi looked up slightly.

Jhiang Yuan knew that he must be feeling a surge of emotions inside.

"Do you know Liu Lin?"

"Linlin, the child, is from our village."

Liu Lin was Song Yi’s senior sister.

No wonder, she had always been at Changming Village and was able to clearly depict Half Moon Lake’s location.

It turned out, she had grown up there.

As for why she would say such things, it was certainly because she had been educated that way since childhood.

Some thoughts, once deeply rooted, are hard to change.

In addition, with the abnormal weather.

Everything now made sense.

"If I’m not mistaken, you all came here because of that girl Linlin, right?"

"Yes, now, what else do you have to say?"

Song Yi asked directly, without beating around the bush.

"The Insect Queen is dead, and you’ve caused a huge disaster.

The remaining insects will launch a major counterattack.

By my calculations, it should be just about time."

After he finished speaking, Camp Commander Xie was the first to become anxious.

"Second Master Teng, what do you mean by that?"

"Just what it sounds like. The insects you’ve encountered before were just small skirmishes.

The real main force will be here soon.

The disaster for humanity has only just begun."

He spoke calmly, but everyone else present was utterly shocked.

"So, is this why you’ve shown yourself?"

"Yes!

I alone cannot withstand them, and I reckon there are not many survivors left now.

If you can, I hope you will save the world!"

His words, unsure whether they were true or false.

But there was an about seventy to eighty percent chance that they were, at least Jhiang Yuan believed them.

"Do you have any connection with Dong Dali?"

Second Master Teng shook his head, not surprised at the mention of the name.

"No, he is just an ordinary villager.

I only found out he was still alive when I came here a couple of days ago; I just haven’t had the chance to meet him."

A couple of days ago?

Jhiang Yuan’s mind whirred, as if she had just thought of something.

"The person in the gray-blue clothes, that was you?"

"Correct, miss, you finally remembered."

Huh, why did it feel somewhat like he was mocking her?

"So, you deliberately led us to that cave?"

"Yes, the insects there have become a force to be reckoned with.

And there are too many of them. If not dealt with, they will become an endless threat."

He was forthright, answering any questions and telling them everything they wanted to know.

"I have another question. How did you survive the earthquake back then?"

Jhiang Yuan fixed her gaze on him, unblinking.

If he dared to lie, he would definitely get beaten up.

"Because I went to the lake as well.

There is a secret passage in the village.

In that urgent situation, I was restrained by those people and had to leave on my own."

That’s right, he was surrounded by Mo Qi and the others back then.

"What about the writing on the meteorite?"

"It was also me..."

Alright, she was wondering how there could be so many incredible happenings.

"If the insects really do come, what do you expect us to do?"

By now, Camp Commander Xie’s attitude had improved significantly.

"If I knew, I would have chosen to save myself.

The number of insects that have not appeared is absolutely beyond your imagination.

How they will show up, I’m not sure, but right now, we all must unite. That’s the only hope we have.

Otherwise, we’re all going to die."

Jhiang Yuan felt a sudden pang of fear in her heart, believing this man wasn’t talking nonsense.

Since he wanted to cooperate with them, he would not hide anything.

At the very least, he would speak the majority of the truth.

"Alright, Second Master Teng must be tired. Go and rest for a while!"

"Okay, I appreciate your efforts. May I see Dali?"

Camp Commander Xie was uncertain, so he looked back at Song Yi.

The man nodded, signaling his consent.

"Keep a close watch, don’t let your guard down at all."

"Don’t worry!"

"Song Yi, what do you think about what Second Master Teng said, is it true or false?"
