Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 475: Catastrophic Pestilence

"It must be true!"

Upon hearing the man’s words, her heart chilled instantly.

"Yuanyuan, if there weren’t an issue, Second Master Teng could survive on his own.

His coming out now proves that the situation has spiraled beyond his control.

Thus, our plight has become even more difficult."

Jiang Yuan sighed deeply and pushed his glasses up.

"If there really are a large number of insects, we are also in great danger.

Not to mention, burning materials are limited, and we don’t have enough supplies for self-rescue.

The question is, he said ’a lot,’ but how much is ’a lot’?"

Song Yi was also somber; among all these people, only he had the most composed temperament.

This reaction now gave everyone a bad premonition.

Camp Commander Xie even harbored some doubts and tentatively asked,

"So, we can’t withstand this invasion?"

"Not necessarily."

Jhiang Yuan’s response made everyone look at her as if seeing hope.

Comrade Jhiang Yuan, what can we do about this situation?"

Upon hearing this, she did not hold back any longer.

"Camp Commander Xie, don’t panic.

I think, since Second Master Teng spoke like this, there must be no shortage of insects.

Even an overwhelming swarm is possible.

If we try to confront them directly, it probably won’t work.

The best method is to defend vigorously.

This base, being an underground facility, is of top quality.

Rather than attacking, it might be better to keep a low profile and improve this place anew.

If we can ensure the safety of this base and hide here, with enough supplies, we might be able to live for a while."

She laid out her thoughts clearly; now it must be the final option.

"It might be feasible, but there are quite a few people in this base as well.

If we bring in all the people, food, and whatnot, there are many other factors to consider.

It won’t be a problem for a short time, but after a while.

Sigh, it’s not a long-term solution either!"

Everyone seated knew about this.

"But at the moment, we have no other option."

Jiang Yuan agreed, clearly supporting Jhiang Yuan.

"Think about it, these insects are living entities.

If they are inside a human body, they could draw nutrients.

If it’s outside, given the current weather, there isn’t much food.

When the bugs are small, it might not matter, but as they grow, it’s ultimately not feasible.

Documentaries have mentioned that the extinction of dinosaurs was due to the cooling climate, the death of numerous plants, and the lack of food.

Isn’t there a certain logic to it for these insects as well?"

As she spoke, she did not conclude but discussed it with everyone.

"Sister Jhiang Yuan is right, but given the current situation, we can’t be certain.

The weather is getting warmer, and soon plants will begin to sprout.

If the insects survive by eating leaves, then we would still end up trapped."

He Lan put forward her opinion, also unhurriedly.

At this time, Song Yi took over the conversation.

"You are all correct, but under the current circumstances, we must prepare on both fronts.

For safety, let’s follow Jhiang Yuan’s plan.

At the same time, what He Lan said makes sense.

If it really is as Second Master Teng said, with insects beyond what anyone can imagine,

It surely won’t be just here; likely, it’s everywhere.

Even if it’s springtime and flowers bloom, the growth of plants requires a process, and those insects can’t wait."

"Why don’t we prepare now, and outline a safe zone around the perimeter of the base to take precautions."

"Even if bugs come later, we wouldn’t be trapped and unable to get out."

"When it gets really critical, out of ammunition and food, we could even use this buffer zone to go out and fight."

By saying this, he placed the hope for life in the hands of fate.

If the bugs are not eliminated, we would still have to go out ourselves, and that would be very troublesome.

No matter how you look at it, it’s not a good idea."

"Let’s do this, everyone is tired today. let’s all go back and rest."

"I will report this matter and see what the leaders have to say."

"Alright, it’s getting late, let’s all hurry back and rest!"

Song Yi said this and stood up.

It really was getting late, the sky had darkened, it was time to go back.

As they reached the doorway, the guard handed each of them a cup of instant noodles.

They had returned to discuss issues here and had not even gone to the dining hall to eat.

Returning now, they couldn’t go back on an empty stomach!

Jiang Yuan and He Lan also followed the two of them, now living together made it convenient to travel together.

Jhiang Yuan went back directly, and Song Yi escorted her to the door.

"Yuanyuan, are you scared?"

"I’m not scared, Song Yi, you shouldn’t be either.

Even if it happens, it’s okay.

Do you remember what you said before, that it’s basically a matter of a few months?

What we need to do now is just to withstand the time."

"Hmm, don’t worry, nothing will happen."

Song Yi held her in his arms and gently kissed her forehead.

"You shouldn’t worry too much, after all, you have me."

The space could, at the very least, save their lives.

She couldn’t just ignore Song Yi.

This man, he must be feeling the pressure too, otherwise, he wouldn’t be like this.

"Okay, I know, hurry up and go rest!" frёeωebɳovel.com

Saying this, he ruffled her hair, his eyes soft and tender.

"Hmm!"

Jhiang Yuan spoke and then went back.

The moment she closed the door, she sighed heavily.

If things really went as previously foreseen, and the bug situation lasted a few months, she naturally wouldn’t have a problem.

She feared it might take longer, after all, bugs are living creatures, not the same as the weather.

Her space, while sufficient for some time, if she hid inside for long periods, the duration would eventually run out.

Feeling uneasy, she sat in her room for a while.

If she went into her space, her parents would worry as well.

Using her thoughts to check, everyone was fine, so there was no need to worry.

Second Master Teng’s mention of a major outbreak, it’s unclear what form it would take.

Nor was the exact timing known, Camp Commander Xie was probably anxious as well.

Exactly how to proceed needed to be clarified by tomorrow; otherwise, it would be too late.

She herself also needed to start preparing in advance, including informing her family about the current situation to avoid further complications."

Once her mood was settled, she entered her space.

Both children were asleep, while her parents were still waiting up for her.

"Yuanyuan, why are you back so late? Are you hungry? I’ll heat up some food."

Everything was prepared in advance; it just needed to be warmed up.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t say much, knowing that not eating would only make her parents worry more.

After sharing what Second Master Teng had said, both her parents were surprised.

"He’s still alive? I always felt there was something peculiar back then.

The people on their side are really very united."
