Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 482: The Worms on the Ground

The light rain was still falling densely, yet the ground appeared as if it were swarmed with bugs.

They were on the third floor, not far from the ground.

From a larger area view, you could see clearly.

He didn’t dare to be careless and hurried to his backpack to take out the high-powered telescope.

Jhiang Yuan woke up when she heard the noise.

Her body ached slightly, yesterday had been excessively indulgent.

"Song Yi, what are you doing?"

Her voice still carried a hint of lethargy.

However, the man couldn’t even afford to go to her.

"Yuanyuan, it seems like there are bugs on the ground..."

Saying this, he went over to the bed, taking the telescope to have a look.

Those densely packed things were indeed slightly floating.

Moreover, there were many on the ground.

"How is it, are they bugs?"

Jhiang Yuan was instantly alert, dressing hurriedly before rushing over.

"It looks like it~"

Saying so, he handed her the telescope.

Jhiang Yuan took it, looked below, and inhaled sharply.

Those densely packed things, if not bugs, what else could they be?

"How can this be? It’s horrifying."

"I don’t know about that, there are so many on the ground, we definitely cannot move out today.

Plus, the base might be closed off."

He spoke not without cause.

Over there was where most people were, with only a very few survivors here in the living area.

They would prioritize the greater good, a normal decision everyone would make.

"So what do we do now? Are these bugs from the ground, or did the rain bring them down?

Remaining in this building is very dangerous."

Jhiang Yuan wasn’t being alarmist since those things were penetrating.

One or two could be ignored, but so many, they definitely couldn’t handle it.

Not to mention, it was raining, even using fire wouldn’t be possible.

"Right now, I can’t be sure.

There are so many bugs on the ground, it’s very possible they’re coming from underground.

Maybe there are eggs on the ground that have been washed up this afternoon.

The warm weather added, they were probably already incubating.

This rainfall was just the catalyst."

Hearing her speak, Jhiang Yuan also felt a little spine-chilling.

If they were indeed from the ground, then it wasn’t very deep.

Just thinking about stepping on bugs every time they returned was terrifying.

If one matured and escaped, that was the end.

If it were at night, pitch-black and dark, they’d die without even knowing how.

"How is it again related to the rain, it’s always been every time."

She just grumbled casually, but Song Yi caught the importance of it.

"Yes, always related to the rain, seems like the rain is indeed a catalyst!"

Or perhaps, more like a signal.

"Yuanyuan, don’t worry, it’s possible these bugs aren’t necessarily up high.

On the rooftop, or other places, during rainfall, they could’ve been washed down."

Currently, those were the two scenarios he could think of.

Yet, he was more inclined toward the first one.

"Anyway, this is definitely not good.

Song Yi, we can’t just sit around and wait to die."

"What do you want to do?"

"Otherwise, let’s go into the space.

I find this very eerie, all these bugs, if even one is overlooked,

it would be fatal for us."

"Ok~"

After all, there weren’t any other solutions right now.

Jhiang Yuan said, then went over to pick up the intercom from the bed.

"Wait a second..."

Song Yi understood her intention, and preemptively stopped her.

"Yuanyuan, if you’re bringing Ye Mianmian into it, consider Zhang Tiezhu."

"Think it through, do you really want to do this together?"

Truth be told, she hesitated a bit.

Zhang Tiezhu was no match for Ye Mianmian, but they were married, united as one.

Compared to her, their bond was deeper.

"Let me check their situation first," she said.

If all else fails, just knock them out.

This was the last resort, even for Jiang Yuan and He Lan; they could bring them along using the same method.

Previously, neither Zhang Kaiyang nor others had noticed anything unusual.

Once she made up her mind, she didn’t talk much.

"Mianmian, Mianmian, this is Jhiang Yuan. If you hear me, please respond quickly," she called out.

After she finished, they waited for what felt like a minute, but there was still no response.

"Mianmian, Mianmian, can you hear me? Are you okay?"

Silence, endless silence.

"Song Yi, there couldn’t have been an accident, could there?"

She was a bit nervous, and the man started rummaging through his backpack.

"Don’t worry, let’s go take a look," he reassured.

As soon as he finished speaking, she also grabbed some items.

The ignition gun and alcohol spray were extremely useful.

He Lan had mentioned before that the alcohol Jiang Yuan provided was highly concentrated.

It was more effective against bugs.

"Jhiang Yuan, Jhiang Yuan~"

Faintly, it seemed someone was calling her.

"Song Yi, did you hear that?"

"I heard it, that’s Jiang Yuan..."

Thank goodness, they were alright.

Jhiang Yuan was quite pleased. Maybe this meant they could now leave.

At least there were no issues in the hallway, but their floor had too many rooms.

And moreover, the opposite side was hollowed out.

The problem would be serious if rainwater got in.

Thankfully, there were no bugs.

If there were bugs there, she couldn’t even imagine it.

"I’ll go take a look."

Song Yi was already equipped and ready to head out.

"I’m coming with you," Jhiang Yuan said quickly, following him.

"Stay back a little, I’ll open the door first and check out the situation," he advised.

He too was scared, but Jhiang Yuan grabbed his hand in a swift movement.

With her other hand, she pressed on her bracelet.

Even in the worst-case scenario, she was certain her speed was faster than any bugs.

Song Yi knew her intention and did not stop her.

After they opened the door, both of them quickly retreated.

Once they were sure there were no bugs, they slowly turned back around.

In the hallway, there were some water stains, but no bugs.

Across, Jiang Yuan was frantically waving his hand.

Yet, at the sight of Song Yi, he seemed stunned.

Clearly, he had not expected that the two of them were staying together now.

"Jiang Yuan, how are you?"

"I’m fine, it’s safe here. I came looking for you," he replied.

Saying this, he and He Lan approached.

Still, they were quite scared, practically running over.

"I need to check on Mianmian. I called her earlier, but there was no response."

"Let’s go together," she said.

She did not refuse. Now was not the time for vague worries.

The four of them crossed the nearby staircase, right next to their rooms.

"Brother, do you see that? Isn’t that a bug?" He Lan pointed toward a corner of a step, her voice trembling.

There was more rainwater there, and indeed, there was a tiny red spot, hardly noticeable unless you looked closely.

"It probably is. Let’s all be careful," Song Yi advised as he put down his binoculars, becoming even more cautious.
