Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 492 A Drop in the Bucket

Jhiang Yuan had cursed Song Yi in her heart eight hundred times by now. How was she supposed to make up a story at a time like this!

"It was Song Yi, he mixed some homemade explosives, and they went off amongst the pile of insects.

You and He Lan need to hide well now.

Don’t come out no matter what, those insects are all in the water.

When there’s no water left, they’ll probably climb out.

Make sure you protect your safety, we’ll talk about everything else later."

Having said this, she didn’t wait for a response and unilaterally ended the call.

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan~"

Jiang Yuan still had many questions, but now he no longer had the chance to ask them.

"Did she hang up?"

He Lan tentatively asked upon waking, and the other person nodded.

"Don’t worry, elder brother, let’s just wait and see..."

"Indeed, that’s the only thing we can do now."

The main issue was being trapped here; there really was no other way out.

On the other side, Song Yi had already taken down his phone.

It had captured clearly; once the bomb was thrown, it exploded amidst the pile of insects.

"Look, this footage is very clear."

Song Yi enlarged the screen with his hand; indeed, the insects had been blown away.

Many were nothing more than a red smear now.

However, there were still remnants, those that had been injured.

They writhed wildly in the ground.

Jhiang Yuan, upon seeing the scene, truly felt nauseated, even feeling a strong urge to vomit.

After meticulously watching the video three times, Song Yi put his phone away.

"It seems that the bomb is effective, but it’s not a long-term solution.

If it’s for a short-range emergency, it’s still feasible, but we can’t use it when it’s right next to us."

He was right; it really was inconvenient.

If it was too close, one would get injured as well.

Besides, it was not certain how the insects would react!

Furthermore, insects can crawl; they are living creatures.

Unlike other things, like rain, snow, hail, etc., which stay wherever they fall.

Even if you use bombs to create a safe zone, it’s still useless; the insects from all around will still come over.

Too troublesome!

"Alright, don’t overthink it now, let’s hurry back."

Reminded by Jhiang Xingzhi, the two hurriedly cleared their minds and decided to go back and figure out a strategy!

Speaking of devising a strategy, in reality, there were no strategies left.

The only thing they could do was wait.

The people outside were also very anxious.

It all happened so suddenly, and then there was silence.

Camp Commander Xie had gathered everyone together; many voices chimed in, a cacophony of suggestions and opinions.

"Old Xie!

There’s something we need to be clear about.

The current situation is anything but good.

The rain is about to stop, and if those insects surge up, nobody will be able to save themselves.

Don’t forget, those things can burrow through any medium.

Instead of pondering over what just occurred, we should think about how to ensure everyone’s safety."

That statement was incredibly reasonable.

Everyone fell silent again.

No one had a solution!

In the space where she was, Jhiang Yuan was also at a loss for answers.

"Does this mean that rainwater can control the insects?

Look, there’s no activity from the insects while it’s raining.

But once the rain stops, won’t they be able to come to life?"

She raised her concerns, but Song Yi shook his head.

"I think the rainwater might be a sort of protective state for them. Remember at Half Moon Lake? There was water there too.

Those insects could come out on their own at any moment.

Also, last time, when they knew the group was exterminating them, those insects directly ran into the puddles."

"It’s also a form of risk avoidance, a way to preserve our lives!"

After hearing this explanation, she felt even more troubled. How could things have turned out this way?

"My girl, don’t think too much.

You’ve told us before, in the apocalypse, no one can save anyone else.

Having our whole family together, safe and sound, is already a blessing.

Now that Xiao Song is here, we should be content."

Jhiang Xingzhi’s words amounted to a complete acceptance of Song Yi.

The man was very happy, although her heart wasn’t at ease.

"Dad, I know."

When it comes to major issues, she could of course make sense of it.

They just wanted a haven, or else they wouldn’t have been living in the space all along.

And they couldn’t stay there forever.

"Enough, stop thinking about it. Your mom said you like to eat hot pot, so let’s have that for dinner. I’ll go help pick the vegetables."

Having said that, he hurriedly left.

Song Yi came over, took her hand, and was also very tender.

"I know, everyone is gone, and you cherish Jiang Yuan very much.

But our abilities are so limited, and many things won’t yield results just by putting in the effort. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand.

Just like my dad said, I’m already very grateful for how things are now."

That evening, sure enough, they prepared a hot pot.

There were so many vegetables in the yard, more than they could ever eat.

They were perfect for a hot pot. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Fresh and tender, with a great taste.

The few of them feasted heartily, setting aside their troubles for the moment.

However, Jhiang Yuan was still occasionally using her psychic senses to check on the situation outside.

When clearing the dishes, she suddenly paused.

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Song Yi came over, taking from her the things she was holding.

"Song Yi, the rain outside has stopped."

Uh, that’s not a good sign.

With the rain stopped, the insects would start to stir.

"Yuanyuan, go to your room.

Auntie, please clean this up."

"Hurry along now, you don’t have to worry about this."

Qin Yue hurriedly urged her, also aware that the situation outside might be bad.

Jhiang Xingzhi, hearing the news, also rushed over in a hurry.

Jhiang Yuan lay flat on the bed, closing her eyes tightly.

Feeling the situation outside in this manner was the least draining of her energy.

The rain had stopped outside, and just as expected, the insects had become restless.

Not just in one place, the insects all around were exhibiting changes.

Jhiang Yuan wasn’t feeling good about it, her psychic senses unable to reach too far.

She could only sense the nearby vicinity.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide.

"Yuanyuan, are you alright? What’s the situation outside?"

Jhiang Yuan was also scared and reached out to grab Song Yi’s hand.

"It’s not good. The insects are getting restless.

They’ve started to move; we can’t go out anymore."

If that was what she was saying, then it was certain that being inside the house wasn’t safe either.

If they could go out, they would only be able to stay inside the house.

"Speaking of which, Jiang Yuan."

As she spoke, Song Yi also reacted, quickly picking up the walkie-talkie nearby to give to her.

Fumbling with it, she hurriedly called out.

"Jiang Yuan, are you there? Can you hear me?"

"I hear you, Yuanyuan. Are you okay?"

"Jiang Yuan, listen to me carefully. The insects outside have started to stir. You must be careful!"
