Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 496: Rebirth (Grand Finale)

Jhiang Yuan’s money was packed neatly into leather suitcases.

"Is this my safe?"

Song Yi pointed to a suitcase in the corner of the wall and asked aloud.

"Yes, when the avalanche happened, I saw there was money inside, so I took it.

You said before that you did it on purpose."

Upon hearing this, the man guiltily touched his nose.

Indeed, the money had been left for her on purpose.

"Well, let’s not talk about that. If it’s ten thousand yuan an hour,

we could stay here for a few years without a problem; it just depends on how long those bugs will live.

If it’s like before, it would probably only take two or three months."

Neither of them spoke, and the family settled down in the space.

Mainly because there was no way to leave.

Abiding by the principle "Since we’re here, let’s make the best of it," everyone quickly found their place.

During the day, Song Yi followed Jhiang Xingzhi, digging a water channel throughout the entire garden.

They even made an automatic water wheel.

It solved the problem of having a large area but difficulty in watering.

The yard was livelier, and the two children also followed them, looking as if they had never seen the world.

Qin Yue pulled out the leafy greens she had planted before because they were now old.

Having eaten them for so long, they were quite good.

The cleared land was then planted with some flowers.

Of course, just by the roadside; most areas were replanted with vegetables.

The green beans and gourds were sliced into strips and put out to dry.

The whole courtyard, besides being more lively, had become more lifelike.

Jhiang Yuan kept observing the situation outside.

On the third day, the house was completely overrun by bugs.

By the tenth day, the bugs became restless and began to look for food everywhere.

Many left in groups.

On the thirtieth day, a few sluggish bugs were seen crawling around.

A few even burst open on their own.

She was shocked and immediately shared the news with everyone.

By the sixtieth day, the house was empty except for the traces of the dead bugs.

That evening, she called Song Yi over.

The two of them planned to go out and see the situation without alarming the parents.

The bugs were nearly all dead, and outside, some larger ones lay on the ground motionless.

By the hundredth day, the whole family had come out.

Familiar places no longer had familiar faces.

The area had already been scouted in advance, and the bugs were all gone.

That day the sun was exceptionally bright, and there was a gentle breeze; the foul stench of the bugs had also almost dissipated.

"Dad, Mom, let’s go outside and take a look!"

"Okay!"

The two children were carried out; there were too many bugs, and the streets were full of their burst innards, which was horrifying.

The first place they went to was Jiang Yuan’s place, where Song Yi opened the door.

There were two articles of clothing on the ground, but not even bones were left.

She couldn’t help but get teary-eyed, and the situation outside was the same.

Ye Mianmian also left behind clothes; everyone’s last encounter was so confused.

No one in the base survived.

The bugs had all died too.

The ground was covered with swathes of blood red.

After touring around, everyone felt very heavyhearted.

In the end, they went up the mountain adjacent to the base.

There was a flat area there, with far fewer signs of bugs.

"Yuanyuan, there are a lot of trees here; let’s build a house here," Song Yi suggested.

"Alright, I still have furniture in my space, which will make things easier later on."

After deciding, everyone started to get busy.

In about a month, they had moved into their own wooden house.

Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue turned over the soil in front of and behind the house.

The vegetables and crops were planted, and the traces of insects had disappeared.

The times were peaceful, as if nothing had ever happened.

The weather also warmed up, around ten degrees above zero.

There was a small river ahead, which had already thawed.

Song Yi brought back many stones from the river, wanting to enclose the courtyard.

Jhiang Yuan took the two children to the back.

Under those large poplar trees lay Zhang Kaiyang, Fan Qing, Zhang Tiezhu, Ye Mianmian, Jiang Yuan, and He Lan.

The people in the back left nothing behind, so she made empty graves for them.

She even made a thoughtful grave for Liang Kang and Xiao Ling.

Inside, was Jingjing’s serene painting.

In a way, it was a form of remembrance.

Gathering everyone together meant they would have company.

Even under the earth, they would not be alone.

"Yuanyuan~"

Hearing the voice, she hurriedly turned around, and there Song Yi was, dressed in casual clothes, coming to take her back.

Fortunately, she had hoarded a lot of clothes previously: menswear, womenswear, children’s clothes, everything one could need.

The few of them, even if they had several lifetimes, would not be able to wear them all out or use them up.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to take you guys back!"

Jhiang Yuan smiled and placed her hand in his large one.

By their side, Jingjing and Xiao Nuan had long been used to this, and followed along with them.

Having gone through so much, they were now living a pastoral life.

Speaking of which, it was still quite emotional.

They worried whether there will be another disaster.

But, having waited for so long without encountering any changes,

they gradually let down their guard.

"By the way, Yuanyuan, we received a signal today, there might be other survivors."

"Is it the signal left by Jiang Yuan?"

"Mhm!"

That device was very small, with a star shape, and was originally intended to be buried with his clothes.

But Song Yi noticed its peculiarity at a glance.

So, they kept it instead.

Thinking that there might be news someday.

"That would be wonderful..."

"Yes, it’s telling us to head south for a gathering."

The message was sent blindly, intended to reach anyone alive who could hear it.

"So, what do you think?"

Song Yi looked up, meeting Jhiang Yuan’s eyes with a serious expression.

"I think we’re doing well now, it’s better to take care of our own land than to hassle with moving.

’Steal a half day of idle life,’ there’s no need to chase too hard."

Hearing this, Jhiang Yuan smiled.

"You’re right, that’s what I’m thinking.

Rather than seeking warmth from the group, it’s better to be free on our own.

We have a house now, we aren’t worried about food or drink, there’s really no need."

"Yeah, I know, I am very content with our current life."

They looked at each other with a look that said more than a thousand words.

"Mom, Mom, look, it’s a flower!"

"It really is, it’s blooming, so pretty."

Xiao Nuan called out, with Jingjing echoing by her side.

The two of them stopped and looked up at the sunny slope, where an apricot tree was beginning to bloom.

Clean and beautiful, fragrant and fresh.

Song Yi and Jhiang Yuan couldn’t help feeling excited, holding each other’s hands.

Everything, was in the past now.

With the blossoming apricot, a new life begins.

The world was starting a new Chapter.

They were grateful that they were all still alive.
