Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 484: The Bug Coughed Up by Zhang Tiezhu
Chapter 484: Chapter 484: The Bug Coughed Up by Zhang Tiezhu
"Don’t think too much about it, the rain has gotten much lighter."
"Let’s wait and see later."
Song Yi didn’t know how to comfort her, feeling that anything he said seemed somewhat hollow.
"I don’t know why, but starting over, I just feel like I have to be tougher and not care about anything.
But now, I still find myself caring about people."
Song Yi is one, Ye Mianmian is another, and Jiang Yuan is another.
Sometimes, I know that this is absolutely not the time to be saintly.
But after knowing that my parents and children are safe, I can’t help but think a lot.
"It’s normal; it just proves that you are a normal person.
With blood and emotions to feel, if you were devoid of all feelings, you would be just a walking corpse, wouldn’t you?"
Song Yi comforted her proficiently, and Jhiang Yuan gave a slight smile.
"I know it’s not good, and I keep telling myself that."
Ye Mianmian and Jiang Yuan, to her, are people with deep connections.
Having such thoughts now is also normal.
During the day, the rain indeed lightened a bit, but the insects on the ground were still terrifying.
They were all in puddles, so there was no way to deal with them.
Moreover, their number was overwhelming, making it even more difficult.
From here, one could see the situation at the base; their gates were tightly closed.
The exterior fortifications were still incomplete, all interrupted by the current events.
"Song Yi, this time, who knows how many will die?"
"Stop thinking about it, it’s already happened, and we can’t change anything.
Initially, I thought by getting ahead, maybe we could just barely survive.
But then I realized I was wrong. We simply can’t overcome nature. Whatever is meant to happen will still happen."
"Yeah, if it weren’t for the ’space,’ our situation wouldn’t be much better.
Or rather, we might have been gone during that earthquake."
The man heaved a sigh, overwhelmed by a feeling of powerlessness.
He embraced her in his arms, no longer speaking.
"Sister Yuan, Sister Yuan~"
Suddenly, Ye Mianmian’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.
It sounded like she was struggling to speak, which startled her.
She quickly went to pick up the walkie-talkie: "Mianmian, what’s wrong, Mianmian?"
After calling her name twice, there was no response from the other side.
"Song Yi, let’s go check it out."
"Alright~"
Although she knew that going out now was definitely not a good choice,
she couldn’t just stand by and watch!
The two of them first checked the door to make sure there were no insects, and then hurried out.
"Mianmian, open the door, Mianmian~"
"Sister Yuan, Sister Yuan, save me~"
Ye Mianmian’s voice resounded in the room.
It faintly carried a sobbing tone.
"Move away~"
Song Yi didn’t hesitate, he started kicking the door, and in a few attempts, it was open.
However, the sight before him was horrifying.
Jhiang Yuan also looked shocked, quickly raising her ignition gun.
Across from her, Ye Mianmian was standing.
On her body, surprisingly, there was an insect, a very large one.
It was about as long as a thumb, and looked fleshy.
The previous insects were definitely not this big; one centimeter in size, even if large.
Moreover, that bug was almost the color of a cherry red, looking extremely frightening.
Yet, it hadn’t burrowed into Ye Mianmian’s body.
Instead, it was crawling on her shoulder, as if looking for something.
"Mianmian, don’t move, don’t startle it.
Let’s see if we can shake it off later?"
Song Yi also slowly backed away, looking for something like a stick to see if they could scrape it off.
"Yuanyuan, do you have anything in your ’space’?"
"Yes!"
With a slight motion of her hand, a clotheshorse appeared instantly.
Seeing the object appear out of thin air, Ye Mianmian’s voice trembled even more.
"Sister Yuan, I’m so scared, this insect came from Tiezhu."
"What?"
At this moment, both of them were even more astonished that Zhang Tiezhu had expelled it.
To expel such a large insect was truly beyond belief.
Could it still be related to the Insect Queen?
"Mianmian, don’t talk, the pressing matter is to get it down first."
She deliberately spoke very calmly, while Song Yi was already prepared.
Suddenly, he stepped forward and poked the insect down.
The insect didn’t react in time and fell directly onto the bed.
Jhiang Yuan quickly activated the flame gun, but it was especially fast, leaving no time to stop it.
It directly surged onto Zhang Tiezhu.
"Tiezhu?"
Ye Mianmian also felt a burst of fright, fearing any accidents.
But she didn’t dare to approach.
Zhang Tiezhu was just sleeping, showing no reaction whatsoever.
The exposed skin appeared even redder.
"Mianmian, don’t go over there."
Going now would be undoubtedly sending oneself to death.
The insect seemed to have detected their intentions and astonishingly burrowed into his body.
"Tiezhu–"
Ye Mianmian fell apart, about to go over, but Jhiang Yuan pulled her back by her side.
An incredible event occurred, the insect actually showed itself.
It seemed to be observing their every move, while Zhang Tiezhu remained very quiet.
He seemed completely unaffected.
"What’s going on?"
She asked, and Song Yi was equally puzzled.
"This insect, could it be coexisting with Zhang Tiezhu as a host!"
The man’s bold conjecture frightened the two beside him.
What does coexistence mean!
"Look, Zhang Tiezhu has been sleeping, and he doesn’t wake up.
His entire being is in a dormant state.
Yet, this insect is moving around inside his body without any impact at all.
This proves that the insect cannot harm him.
The reason, most likely, is because of the Insect Queen.
After all, he was the only one who had been alone with the Insect Queen and still survived."
Or rather, the Insect Queen might not have done nothing to him.
She might have laid eggs on him, or something like that.
However, this matter is too extraordinary for anyone to say for sure.
"So what do we do now, it went back inside."
Ye Mianmian exclaimed in fear, also very concerned.
"Now, we must kill it,"
Sadly, it was too fast.
"Mianmian, come with me. Tiezhu..."
The best course of action would be to leave this place, otherwise, it’s easy to be entangled by this insect.
"No, Sister Yuan, I have to stay and accompany him, that’s absolutely unacceptable."
Ye Mianmian said and actually tried to drive both of them away.
Jhiang Yuan also knew, probably fearing a problem that would then involve them.
"Mianmian, don’t be like this; we can still make it.
Let’s try."
As she spoke, she signaled Song Yi with her eyes.
He received the signal and also quickly took action.
The first thing was to take the quilt from Zhang Tiezhu’s body.
They needed to be extremely careful, now with no idea where the insect was.
