Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 480: The Connection is Broken

At this point, everyone held their breath.

Especially Ye Mianmian, who quickly asked, "What happened afterward?"

"Later, his mother took advantage of everyone’s inattention and stealthily rescued him in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, the young man didn’t die.

He was just starved but later recovered.

At that time, the village didn’t say anything, and since he had recovered, they treated him like a normal person.

However, strange things still happened afterward!"

"What do you mean?"

This time, Jhiang Yuan was also unsettled, as this matter naturally needed thorough questioning in case it was related to Zhang Tiezhu’s current situation!

"This young man started showing symptoms later, his eyes and body turned red, and he exhibited crawling behaviors at night."

This description matched exactly with Zhang Tiezhu’s current condition.

"And then what happened?"

"After that, the matter couldn’t be concealed.

Everyone felt it was an ominous sign and wanted to burn the young man alive, but just as they were about to do so,

he suddenly disappeared. Everyone thought he was hidden in the back mountain, but after a long search, they found no clues.

His mother wouldn’t tell either. Shortly after, she also hung herself, and the matter was thus shelved."

"So, in the end, you don’t know exactly what happened?"

"Yes, there’s only so much written in the village records.

It’s from a long time ago, and it’s impossible to verify."

It was such matters.

There might have been other solutions at the time, just not recorded, who knows.

Anyway, everything had reached a deadlock.

"Second Master Teng, did this man who wasn’t eaten by the Insect Queen exhibit any harmful behaviors?

Or does it relate to the imminent massive wave of insects?"

Hearing Song Yi ask this made Ye Mianmian also anxious.

If he said something bad, then Zhang Tiezhu would be in danger.

"This, I’m not very sure.

Aside from that one case, such an incident has never occurred again."

Seeing him shake his head, Ye Mianmian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don’t think too much, if Tiezhu is acting this way, he’s probably just infected.

Hasn’t Doctor Luo already prescribed medicine? He’ll recover with some care."

She appeared unconcerned on the surface, but she was extremely frightened inside.

"Mianmian, we’re also concerned about your safety.

You two are together day and night, what if his mind becomes clouded?"

On hearing this, Ye Mianmian quickly came over and grabbed her hand.

"Sister Yuan, what are you talking about?

I am always vigilant when I sleep at night. Even if he exhibits some strange behaviors, he definitely won’t hurt anyone.

Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine."

Sister Yuan seemed unconvinced.

But it wasn’t appropriate to comment on the couple’s private matters.

"Mianmian, you still shouldn’t be careless.

We haven’t survived until now by taking things lightly."

She didn’t continue with the subject of harming anyone, since Ye Mianmian, even as much as she liked Zhang Tiezhu, wouldn’t joke about her own life safety.

"Sister Yuan, I know, I’ll be careful.

We are close by, and the houses aren’t very soundproof. I’ll shout for someone if anything happens."

She ended up comforting Jhiang Yuan instead, although her intention was obviously to keep Zhang Tiezhu isolated, something Ye Mianmian clearly wasn’t accepting.

"Here, this is for you—"

Song Yi also picked up on it and immediately brought over a rope, handing it to her.

"Brother Song, what do you mean with this?"

"Ye Mianmian, I don’t want to say more.

Jhiang Yuan doesn’t want any accidents happening to you. Zhang Tiezhu’s situation is quite special, so it’s better to be cautious."

Even if it was daytime, being asleep at night was equivalent to recognizing the danger.

"We cannot rescue you in time, so when you sleep, tie him to the bed!"

Well, this actually seemed like a decent idea.

"I think it’s better to isolate him, that way it would be safest," he said at a critical moment, and Ye Mianmian hurriedly grabbed the rope.

"It’s no trouble, we’ll use this. You all can rest assured, there really won’t be any problems."

She felt uncertain inside, but Zhang Tiezhu was now her husband, and she couldn’t separate from him; who knew what might happen next?

Her internal struggle was unknown to everyone.

However, her determination to not let Zhang Tiezhu leave was evident to all.

After she left, Second Master Teng still wanted to say something.

"No hurry, just leave two people to keep an eye on him.

I’ll go over and mention this to Camp Commander Xie."

Privately, they were friends and couldn’t speak of many things.

Officially, Zhang Tiezhu was an essential technical staff at the base, so it was better to let them decide.

"Song Yi, are you going now?"

Sensing that the two men had things to discuss, Second Master Teng and Dong Dali very perceptively left.

"Yes, Yuanyuan.

We can’t manage this matter, nor have any way to, so let’s leave the decision to Camp Commander Xie.

You’ve already done enough for her, don’t force yourself." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Originally, Ye Mianmian had saved Xiao Nuan’s life.

But Jiang Yuan had saved her more than once, and had long repaid that debt.

From now on, she needed to walk her own path.

"Alright, then you go. I won’t come."

In her heart, she always had a vague sense of foreboding.

It was stifling; she also didn’t know what exactly was going on.

Song Yi left, and she didn’t go home but just sat in his room.

She constantly felt a major event was about to occur, initially thinking it was an insect calamity.

Then this minor episode occurred, and now she felt completely confused.

What could it be? This feeling was very annoying.

Unable to figure it out, she decided not to think about it anymore.

She still had a walkie-talkie in her hand, took one, and sent it over to Ye Mianmian.

"Sister Yuan, what is this?"

"Keep it. Naturally, I’m worried about you.

Tiezhu is different than before, be very careful, keep this turned on all the time, and don’t be too optimistic."

Hearing this, Ye Mianmian was also moved.

"Sister Yuan, I know, it will be fine, don’t worry."

"Whether it will be or not, you must be careful.

Mianmian, I promised grandma that I would take care of you, and I won’t harm you.

I know Tiezhu is a good person and loves you.

But what if he is not in his right mind? Are you so sure he won’t hurt you?"

After all, he had started mimicking insect movements in the middle of the night; could that be normal?

Ye Mianmian pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, I don’t mean to scare you, just have some precautionary awareness.

If there’s no problem, then all the better.

Don’t forget about my issue."

With that said, she left.

For Ye Mianmian, she knew about Jiang Yuan being abandoned by her ex-husband.

Even the incidents of him collaborating with the mistress to kick her and Xiao Nuan out had reached her ears.

They were once intimate partners, loving each other passionately.

Besides, Zhang Tiezhu was different now, she hoped she would understand!
