Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 468: Bugs in a Cave

Her voice was truly horrifying.

It seemed as if she had encountered something inconceivable, and the strength of her grip was so strong that Ye Mianmian staggered and nearly fell.

"Sister Yuan, what’s wrong?"

"Do you see?"

Following her gesture, Ye Mianmian looked over as well.

Under the intense light of the flashlight,

those crystals around became even more evident, only the thing she thought was strawberry crystal, was actually teeming with tiny insects.

If you didn’t look closely, you couldn’t really tell.

Moreover, these insects were completely different from the ones earlier in the pimples.

They didn’t move, and more like they were in a state of deep sleep.

"Good heavens~"

Once Ye Mianmian saw clearly, she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

"Don’t be afraid, these seem to be immobile, let’s hurry back and report this."

So many insects definitely wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

Plus, they hadn’t explored other areas yet.

Who knows, there might be even more hiding in the dark!

The only option now was to leave temporarily; otherwise, it was definitely a very dangerous situation.

"Sis, Sister Yuan, my legs are weak!"

At this critical moment, Jhiang Yuan couldn’t afford to waste words; she hurried over to help her up.

They were racing against time; if something happened, it would be all over.

The two of them stumbled to the mouth of the cave, only then feeling as if they had come back to life.

"What’s going on?"

"The inside is full of insects, let’s get out of here quickly!"

With her brief explanation, He Lan understood what had happened and was very anxious.

"Just like this, we’re leaving? Is it okay?"

She was referring to the cave entrance, which was wide open, even the vines from before were gone.

"It’s fine, the insects here are still in a sleeping state, not very dangerous.

Moreover, even in a dangerous situation, those insects would come out regardless, nothing can stop them."

With this explanation, the two of them understood and did not dwell on the issue.

The three of them hurried toward the base.

Once there, they saw quite a few people; they must have all come from over there.

"Jhiang Yuan, what are you doing here? Everyone has been searching for you like mad."

Wait, does this mean they had already returned?

Their trip over there had indeed taken a considerable amount of time.

"Camp Commander Xie, I have something to say, let’s go to your office."

"Alright!"

Seeing her serious expression, the other party didn’t dare to take it lightly.

He quickly ordered his subordinates to go and call Song Yi and Jiang Yuan.

They had just sat down when the two men arrived.

"Yuanyuan, where have you been, are you alright?"

Song Yi didn’t bother to hide his concern, squatting right in front of her, his face filled with urgency.

He had been scared to death when he came back and couldn’t find anyone.

If it were just Jhiang Yuan alone, she might have gone to the space, but what about Ye Mianmian and He Lan?

They had all disappeared, which meant they must have run into trouble.

"I’m fine, Song Yi. We found a cave.

It’s on the backside of the mountain behind the base, full of insects," she responded.

"What, full of insects? Are you sure you saw that right?"

Camp Commander Xie was the first to get agitated as he was also puzzled; why this situation seemed endless.

"Yes, it’s full of insects, as if they’ve been frozen."

On the way here, she had pondered a lot.

If it were crystals, that would be impossible.

Given the low temperature, ice was a very likely explanation.

"How did you discover it?"

Song Yi immediately raised the critical question, and He Lan hurriedly took over the conversation.

"On our way back, we encountered someone acting sneakily.

We feared he might be an enemy agent, so we followed him to see what was up, and that’s how we found the cave."

"So you’re saying it’s because of that person that you found those insects."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement—it was indeed the case.

"Who was that person? Did you see him?"

Camp Commander Xie thought if they knew so much secret information, the person couldn’t be ordinary and probably knew even more.

"No, he disappeared later on, most likely inside the cave."

Ye Mianmian explained, not entirely certain herself since they hadn’t thoroughly searched the entire cave.

"That’s not right; he wasn’t inside the cave."

"What do you mean?"

Song Yi always trusted Jiang Yuan, hence he only asked for the reason, without casting doubts.

"Because when we got there, the entrance was completely covered in vines, and a normal adult absolutely couldn’t have gotten through."

With that explanation, Song Yi also pondered thoughtfully.

"So, this person did it on purpose—to lead you there and discover the cave,

or rather, the insects inside?"

"That’s what I think, too!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mianmian also became perplexed.

"No wonder you had He Lan guard the door. You were afraid that person would catch us all in one go!"

She nodded, not denying the matter.

"There’s no time to lose, let’s hurry over and see if there really are that many insects.

The entire base is in danger."

Jiang Yuan recognized the seriousness of the situation and immediately made an analysis.

"Indeed, but we also need to investigate that person.

If he knows the secrets inside the cave, he probably knows more."

"But with so many people, how do we investigate?"

He Lan felt that such a task was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Go and ask around. With the news spreading, no one will be wandering around.

It’s not very likely that someone would be alone.

Just send people to see if anyone is solitary or has come out, that’s all."

"Alright, I’ll arrange that right away.

We’ll go check out that place you mentioned afterwards."

Camp Commander Xie immediately went out to take action. In such a situation, he couldn’t just sit idle.

Tackling the problem from both ends was necessary.

"Yuanyuan, next time something like this happens, don’t go on your own, wait for me to come back.

If one of those insects had been mature, how could I carry on living?"

Song Yi’s eyes were bloodshot, clearly from urgency.

Jiang Yuan took his hand reassuringly.

"Don’t worry, I also cherish my life. I wouldn’t have risked it if I wasn’t sure.

The cave is very dark; let Camp Commander Xie know.

We should bring more lighting, and the temperature inside is low too, so we’d better dress warmly."

"Alright, I’ll go tell him right now."

Jiang Yuan didn’t want him to be upset, so she found something for him to do to distract him.

"Sister Yuan, see how good Brother Song is to you, you should treasure him!"

Ye Mianmian wasn’t kidding; she genuinely wanted them to end up together.

"Alright, let’s get ready. Are you going later?"

She left the decision up to Ye Mianmian.

After all, it concerned life and death, and she couldn’t make decisions for others.

"I’m going, wherever you go, I’ll follow."

"I’m going too, I’ll join you."
