Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 490: Everyone’s Way of Self-Rescue

"The scent of that incense will fade, it’s not a long-term solution."

If there were enough of it, it could be worth a try.

And it would need to be purposeful, knowing where to go.

Right now, we have nothing, going out would be a death sentence.

Dong Dali couldn’t come to terms with it, and he couldn’t handle it.

"Second Master Teng~"

Both of them were unaware, and the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Oh, Camp Commander Xie, what brings you here?"

"It isn’t just about the bugs causing me headaches; I specifically came to seek your advice."

Second Master Teng wasn’t foolish; he probably heard everything just said.

Luckily, there were no slips in what I’d just said.

"Sigh, I hadn’t expected it to be this severe; it’s probably a tough situation now.

This time, we’re all in danger."

When Camp Commander Xie heard this, it was within his expectations.

"The incense you were talking about earlier, how much is there?"

Here we go, what was to come, has come.

"This is all we have, you see..."

It’s about eight sticks now, currently a rare treasure.

"Second Master Teng, you know that Song Yi and Professor Jiang are in the living area.

If we use this, could we possibly rescue them?"

Upon hearing this, Second Master Teng was also startled.

If it’s not feasible for long distances, reaching the living area should still be no problem.

"It should be fine, but we can’t have too many people, or it will be problematic."

"Yes, that would be great. I’ll take these then.

Please take the trouble to think of some sort of alternative!"

Camp Commander Xie was in a good mood, glad to have resolved one issue.

After returning, he brought over the person operating the drone.

"Camp Commander Xie, you mean to use the drone to deliver it."

"Yes, if people also go there, we’ll need to use the Insect Attraction Incense, which is not cost-effective.

By sending the drone, they can come back on their own.

All in all, it saves a lot."

"True, but it’s still raining bugs outside, so sending out a drone is also troublesome."

What he said was true; the situation was too complex now.

"No matter, we’ll just wait a bit."

Even if there’s no food or water, we can hold on for a few days.

We can’t rush this; otherwise, it might backfire."

"All right, then I’ll go back and get ready."

"Go ahead..."

Camp Commander Xie said, feeling a bit reassured.

Having fought alongside Song Yi and others for a long time, he missed them deeply.

Especially in such harsh conditions, fighting alone is indeed very exhausting.

If he could rescue them, it would indeed be a good thing.

Especially Jiang Yuan and He Lan, who were key subjects of the laboratory’s attention; they had to give it their all.

The initial torrent of bug rain had passed outside.

It wasn’t so severe now, lightly drizzling, even beginning to mix with some real rain.

Everyone was at the windows, watching the outside situation.

Inside the base, people were stationed everywhere.

This area was previously a military industrial site, and the gases are containable.

Relatively speaking, it’s safe now.

Outside, besides Jiang Yuan’s area, the living quarters housed other people.

There were also people at the guardhouse, all from the Guard Army.

Now, the situation was extremely perilous.

The layer of bugs on the ground was already a meter deep.

Their duty room was not very high to begin with.

Plus, being a temporary container-type portable building, other than better sealing, everything else was poor.

"Sergeant, what do we do now? If we don’t come up with a plan, the bugs will reach the windows soon."

There were three people inside, a squad leader and two team members, Damao and Xiao Wang.

"Don’t panic, check every place thoroughly.

With so many bugs outside now, we can only wait for rescue."

Calm on the surface, he was actually very anxious inside.

Things were relatively okay here, it usually served as a hub.

Matches, alcohol, and even food weren’t lacking here.

When it had started to rain, they had also brought in several bundles of dry firewood at the door.

"Squad leader, I don’t want to die, I haven’t even gotten married yet."

As he spoke, Xiao Wang’s voice took on a crying tone.

"Shut up, being alive until now is already enough.

What does a grown man sobbing like this look like!"

Scolded, he wasn’t angry.

Damao, standing next to him, was also sighing, but his emotions were much more stable.

"Squad leader, don’t scold him. I’m terribly scared too.

This time with so many bugs outside, we’re probably done for here.

We can’t get out, and our brothers can’t come over.

We can only wait to die."

The statement was defeatist, but it was the reality.

"Ah, Damao, Xiao Wang, we’ve been brothers for so many years.

If we really can’t make it this time, even the road to the underworld will have company, cheer up a bit."

Actually, he wanted to say something else, but didn’t know what would be appropriate.

Natural disasters had struck, and they had escaped death multiple times.

They couldn’t contact their families anymore.

To say he didn’t miss them would be a lie.

He also had a girlfriend he hadn’t seen for three years, not even for a final goodbye, and now he didn’t know if she was dead or alive.

"Squad leader, I’m also very glad to be with you all."

"Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore.

We mustn’t get discouraged, what if there’s still hope, we should be proactive, perseverance is victory."

His pep talk didn’t seem to have much effect.

"By the way, I heard Camp Commander Xie say before, these bugs grow more numerous.

Without enough nutrients, they won’t last either.

In the end, they’ll starve to death.

We just need to make sure there are no bugs in this house, and maybe we really can last till the end."

This conversation slightly lifted the spirits of the other two men.

"Exactly, without food, the bugs can’t live either.

It’s bare outside now, with so many bugs, they surely can’t endure.

We might not die after all."

Seeing Xiao Wang regain his confidence, the others also felt better.

"Furthermore, if the base sends out a rescue, this place will definitely be the first stop.

Now is the time for self-rescue and conserving energy."

"I’ll go check around to see if any bugs have gotten in."

Damao said and began to busy himself, with Xiao Wang joining in.

Meanwhile, the squad leader wasn’t idle either.

They did have a walkie-talkie here, but hadn’t contacted the base yet.

The communications department also had equipment, but he didn’t know if it could connect.

Now, he couldn’t just sit and wait to die, he had to try every method...

...

Inside the room, Jhiang Yuan was also recovering quite a bit.

It was as if she suddenly thought of something and quickly went out to find someone.

"Song Yi, you said these bugs are afraid of fire.

Then, using bombs, wouldn’t that work too?"

"Bombs?"

"Yeah, bombs are also very powerful, now that the bugs are swarming.

With powerful explosives, won’t they just get blasted away in minutes."

Song Yi thought for a moment and nodded.

"In theory, yes, but where do we find so many bombs."
