Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 487: Bugs Falling from the Sky
Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Bugs Falling from the Sky
"I’m sorry, I lost my composure~"
Jhiang Yuan sniffed and wiped her tears.
She couldn’t be clearer about the situation now.
Song Yi was right, everyone has their own choices, and she couldn’t save anyone.
If Ye Mianmian really became the carrier for the Insect Queen, even if she didn’t die, she wouldn’t end up well.
Just thinking about being completely eaten was terrifying.
But how could such a thing happen to her!
After all, the one who had direct contact with the Insect Queen was Zhang Tiezhu.
Yes, Zhang Tiezhu.
This matter probably couldn’t be separated from him.
"What’s the situation outside?"
"Not good, there are a lot of insects.
I guess there are several layers of them on the ground by now, we’re completely surrounded by insects, and there’s no way out."
"If that’s the case, then it’s terrifying.
Jiang Yuan and He Lan haven’t come out, and we can’t contact them now.
If the insects aren’t repelled soon, they’ll starve to death even if they don’t die."
"Yes, we don’t have anything over here, it’s impossible to eradicate them altogether.
Moreover, the insects keep coming down from outside, and it’s unknown when they will stop."
Song Yi also sighed; the situation was getting increasingly out of control.
Now, all hopes were on the base, but it was tough for them to get out.
"Song Yi, let’s go inside, I’m afraid a few might come in soon."
It was rather dark now, and there was hardly any light in the room.
If there really were insects, it might be possible not to see them, which would be too dangerous.
She couldn’t just watch that happen.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you."
Song Yi actually had no confidence in his heart, this situation was too bizarre.
The two entered the space, and it was a different scene.
Times were tranquil, just like a paradise on earth.
"Xiao Song, Yuanyuan, why did you both come back together? Is something wrong?"
Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue were picking vegetables, preparing to cook.
Seeing the two of them together was also surprising.
Normally, Jhiang Yuan would always be alone if there wasn’t anything wrong.
"Dad, Mom, there are too many insects outside, so we came in."
"Still those on the ground?
How could it be like this, it’s too scary."
She had already told her parents about the insects on the ground
So, that’s why they were so worried.
"It’s even worse, now it’s not raining outside, but raining insects."
"What?"
Qin Yue covered her mouth in shock, and Xiao Nuan along with Jingjing stopped playing with their toys and walked directly over to her.
"Mom~"
"It’s alright, go watch some cartoons with your sister."
Jingjing, knowing they probably had things to talk about, obediently took Xiao Nuan into the room.
"Dad, Mom, we can’t stay outside anymore.
The layer of insects on the ground must be very thick by now, and we have to stay here for a while."
Jhiang Xingzhi also took a sharp breath, unable to comprehend why it was like this.
"An inundation of insects is even harder to accept than snowy weather."
"Yes, raining insects, that’s unheard of."
Qin Yue also sighed, not understanding why it had turned out this way.
"Back in our hometown, we also had insect infestations, just never like this."
Jhiang Yuan had grown up in the countryside since she was a child, and she understood the matter of growing crops well.
Insects on crops were a very normal thing.
But she was a child of the 90s, and ever since she could remember, there had been things like insecticides.
Jhiang Xingzhi spoke of events from long ago.
However, things were not as terrifying as they are now.
Most of the bugs used to be on the crops, but now they are falling from the sky, which seems quite unreasonable!
Could it be that the sky is also full of bugs?
"It’s not the same, the bugs nowadays are the kind that eat people. Can you compare them to those that eat leaves?"
Qin Yue also added a comment, saying it was truly a rare sight.
Aside from Second Master Teng and the people of Half Moon Lake, probably no one else knows about these bugs!
"Dad, Mom, we mustn’t be careless. Let’s stay here for now and wait until things stabilize outside before we decide~"
"What about the others?"
Jhiang Xingzhi tentatively asked, as the phrase ’more bad luck than good’ was already on his lips.
Song Yi, fearing she would be distressed again, patted her shoulder.
"Yuanyuan, why don’t you go take a shower and rest for a bit.
I’ll discuss what’s going on outside with Uncle and Auntie."
She looked up, met his concerned gaze, and also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright."
Having said that, she walked away with the walkie-talkie.
Now, Ye Mianmian was probably in trouble too, as Jiang Yuan hadn’t switched this on and hadn’t contacted her either.
But she dared not give up.
What if he thought of this? It’s still wise to bring it along.
She went over to tidy up a bit by herself. Song Yi told her to rest, but how could she be in the mood for that?
Both children were very quiet, nestled on the couch; she walked over and embraced one with each arm.
In her past life, her greatest regret was not being able to protect her daughter.
This lifetime, watching everyone else gone.
But with her daughter still by her side, this was a stroke of luck amid the misfortune.
"Auntie, don’t be scared, everything will be alright," Jingjing patted her arm, looking very mature for her age.
The children were so strong; her own behavior was indeed a bit poor.
If Song Yi weren’t by her side, she could handle things on her own.
Now, she even dared to show her true emotions in front of him.
She hadn’t even noticed it herself.
Outside, Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue had understood the whole situation.
All they could do was sigh with emotion.
To think that they could encounter such a situation, last time Zhang Tiezhu insisted on going because Ye Mianmian was going too.
It turned out that in the grand scheme of things, there was a divine plan at work.
"Ah, to encounter such a situation.
Yuanyuan is always too soft-hearted, always having her face these situations, what should be done."
Qin Yue sighed deeply, feeling heartbroken for her daughter.
Ever since arriving in West City, she had faced every difficulty on her own.
She never let them worry about her.
But in the eyes of parents, no matter how old their child is, she is still a child.
She should be the one being protected!
Jhiang Yuan was sensible, which only made them pity her more.
"Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry, I’m here too."
Jhiang Xingzhi glanced at Song Yi and didn’t say anything, just continued sighing.
He also felt a bit awkward, so he went to check on Jhiang Yuan.
"Uncle Song~"
"Uncle Song~"
The two children saw him coming and quickly greeted him.
"Good, you two are very well-behaved, let me have a word with your mother!"
"Yes, sure!"
The two of them went to the bedroom next door, where she usually stayed. There was a very big balcony where one could see what was happening outside.
"No movement from Jiang Yuan’s side yet?"
