Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 479: Related to the Insect Queen

"Waiting for you here..."

Song Yi looked at her with doting affection, his eyes holding only one person.

"Then let’s go~"

"Okay!"

On the way back, they didn’t speak. Jhiang Yuan was starting to feel a bit tense.

"Why don’t you ask what He Lan told me?"

"It’s nothing more than Jiang Yuan liking you and not her."

Such a light remark shocked her immensely.

"How did you know that?"

Song Yi, seeing her like this, couldn’t help but reach out and touch her cheek.

"It’s quite simple. You’re too involved to see clearly, but I can see it plainly.

Something is off with He Lan and Jiang Yuan, and that girl’s intentions are as clear as Sima Zhao’s heart.

Her seeking you out must mean you’re somehow involved."

She hadn’t expected him to see things so clearly.

"Aren’t you worried then?"

"Worried about what?"

"Worried I might not want you anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yi turned to her, took hold of her shoulders, and looked at her seriously.

"If you don’t want me anymore, that would only mean I haven’t done well enough.

It’s my problem, what right do I have to question you?"

Ugh, how can this person be so blindly confident.

"Tsk, well, you never know. Better watch out."

Jhiang Yuan was ready to leave, but then the man pulled her back.

"I won’t let you go, you are my life!"

After saying that, he embraced her.

"Alright, there are so many people here, let’s head back first!"

"Okay!"

...

The day was overcast, as if it was going to rain.

After returning with Song Yi, Jhiang Yuan immediately went to see Zhang Tiezhu.

His condition seemed to have worsened, with him constantly feeling sleepy.

"Mianmian, what did you tell me about his behavior in the middle of the night?"

Talking about this made her quite nervous. She looked back at Zhang Tiezhu.

"Sister Yuan, let’s talk outside."

The outside wasn’t safe either, so they went into Song Yi’s room instead.

There was no one in Jhiang Yuan’s house, and it wouldn’t be good if their secret was discovered by others. This was the safest place here.

"Sister Yuan, in the middle of the night, Tiezhu doesn’t walk around, he just writhes on the bed.

He’s like a big insect, and his eyes are all red, it’s really scary."

That night, Ye Mianmian was truly frightened.

The main issue was that the person didn’t speak, just writhed there next to her.

"Insect?"

Now, she was particularly sensitive to that word.

"Yeah, I’m quite scared too, but I don’t know exactly what’s going on.

The next morning when I asked him, he had no memory of it at all."

"Do you think, could he be sleepwalking?"

Song Yi pondered, unsure of what to say.

"I think, maybe for the next few days, you should be careful.

Tiezhu is different from the rest of us, remember that time he escaped from the mouth of the Insect Queen.

I’m just afraid..."

Jhiang Yuan didn’t finish her sentence, but Ye Mianmian felt as though she was facing a great danger.

"No way, that thing is dead. We didn’t see him like this before, it’s as if he’s been poisoned.

Oh my, he couldn’t possibly be mutating, could he?"

Saying this was truly terrifying.

"Come on, let’s ask Second Master Teng."

Song Yi made a quick decision and the two went out together.

If this situation was true, it would be horrifying.

Zhang Tiezhu, after all, is Ye Mianmian’s husband, and nobody wants anything bad to happen to him.

Second Master Teng is now inside the base, living together with Dong Dali; their main focus is the research on Insect Attraction Incense.

The arrival of Song Yi and others also surprised him.

"What’s going on?"

One could tell, the three of them were quite anxious.

"Comrade Song, please, take a seat!" freewēbnoveℓ.com

Dong Dali considerately brought chairs over, inviting them to sit down.

Now that they were all in the same boat, he had become noticeably friendlier.

"Thanks, but no need to fuss over us.

Second Master Teng, we’ve come today because there’s something we’d like to ask you about."

"Oh, what’s the matter? Don’t hesitate to speak!"

"Does the Insect Queen have any poison on her?"

His question left the other side stunned.

"Young Song, have you encountered some problem? Tell me about it in detail."

Song Yi glanced at Ye Mianmian and nodded.

She picked up on the cue and didn’t hold back, sharing the recent events with everyone.

She covered everything in great detail, including some aspects they were unaware of, though none of it was major.

After listening, Second Master Teng also frowned, seemingly in disbelief.

"I have never heard of the Insect Queen being poisonous, but given your description, it’s clear that Zhang Tiezhu has undergone insect transformation.

I recall the ancestral teachings saying that the Insect Queen would protect us for generations.

Let’s go and see him together."

"Alright, let’s go take a look."

Before this, Second Master Teng had mentioned it.

They supported each other with the Insect Queen, and the greatest benefit was that the crops in the village were safe.

No need for pesticides, and no worms would infest them.

In a sense, this would definitely increase the yield to some degree.

Particularly for eras with less developed productivity, where getting enough to eat and drink was challenging, this factor was incredibly important.

The group moved swiftly and reached the residential area in no time.

Because of their special status, four guards followed behind, mainly to prevent Second Master Teng and Dong Dali from escaping.

Zhang Tiezhu was still asleep in the room.

Despite the not inconsiderable noise, he didn’t wake up.

Second Master Teng went over and examined him carefully.

By the end, his expression was grave.

Ye Mianmian hurried over to cover him with a blanket.

The others had already gotten up and moved to the doorway.

"I don’t think the situation looks very good; how long has this been going on?"

"Five days now~"

"Then we need to be more cautious recently.

Our village has a village chronicle.

It contains a record similar to this situation."

Hearing this, everyone perked up.

Whether it was finding the source or the cause, it was good news.

"Second Master Teng, let’s continue this conversation over there."

Song Yi was referring to his room. Now that Zhang Tiezhu was showing clear signs of being related to the Insect Queen, it could cause problems if overheard by others.

Therefore, the more urgent the situation, the more cautious they had to be.

Once inside the room, with the four guards stationed at the door, Song Yi made it a point to instruct them not to let anyone get close.

"Second Master Teng, please tell us, what’s really going on?"

Knowing their urgency, he didn’t play coy any longer.

"There was a similar incident, seems like it was during the period of the Republic.

Back then, people were dying from starvation, and lots of people had perished.

During a year of disaster, Half Moon Lake was no exception.

We followed protocol and delivered the deceased to the Insect Queen.

All seemed well initially, but a mistake happened in between.

A young lad passed away, and his mother couldn’t bear it; his body was secretly taken there.

Unexpectedly, it eventually got discovered."
