Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 494: The Counterattack of the Bugs

Jhiang Yuan suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was suffocating her.

Her right eye twitched uneasily.

As soon as she sat up, Song Yi hurried over to her.

"Yuanyuan, what’s wrong?"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t answer her, closing her eyes and focusing intently instead.

In her mind, she saw the room.

Crawling densely, numerous insects had invaded.

The floor, the windowsill, the bed, the table, the chairs—none were spared.

She could even clearly see the insects moving in and out among the objects.

Her heart tightened, realizing that no one would be able to escape this.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and Song Yi, looking concerned, was beside her.

"Are you all right?"

"Song Yi, it’s not looking good.

The room is full of insects, everywhere."

Upon hearing this, Song Yi felt very heavy-hearted.

"If the insects start attacking, there will be no way to turn things around."

His words had been expected.

But hearing them was still a chill to breathe.

"It seems we can’t escape after all!"

Jhiang Yuan neither lamented nor mourned.

She knew that such words were meaningless.

Outside, the situation was indeed terrible.

In places she couldn’t see, humanity was facing yet another catastrophe.

Inside the base, it was utter chaos.

The insects, not being fools, began indiscriminately burrowing in.

Most of the areas had dirt.

It was the same dirt they had used to fill the trenches they had dug.

Unexpectedly, that dirt had become a lifeline.

But at that time, not much attention had been paid to this issue, leaving many areas still exposed.

The insects started their incursion from the spots with no dirt.

One by one, they burrowed tentatively.

At first, when the issues were discovered, people could still resist a bit.

Whether it was alcohol or fire, at least they could be stopped.

As the insects increased, everyone was overwhelmed.

"No way, Camp Commander Xie, there are too many insects, we can’t burn them all!"

Camp Commander Xie, looking at the insects above, was also out of options.

"Brothers, today we might have to lay down our lives right here.

These damned insects must not be tolerated."

Saying this, he directly lit a torch and scattered flames among the insects on the ground.

His actions successfully scared away many, but the sheer number was overwhelming, with several more soon falling from above.

The rest of the people also scrambled to manage the situation.

The result was predictable—the feeling of futile efforts made everyone desperately hopeless.

Watching the insects multiply, some people got invaded.

The panic started to spread.

Camp Commander Xie, seeing the red insects on a person beside him, also got brutal and went to crush them.

Unfortunately, more insects were coming from behind him.

Even, they started climbing up from the soles of his shoes.

At the forefront of the base, there were deafening screams and cries.

Everyone was born of flesh and blood.

Nobody could endure such pain.

In the women’s dormitory, Squad Leader Cheng and others were also resisting.

These tiny invaders, boldly getting closer, were speeding up their approach.

"Wuuwuu, I don’t want to die yet, someone save me!"

The woman’s shrieks mixed with the children’s crying only added to her frustration.

"Shut up, no one can save you now.

Look around, grab whatever you can."

If there’s really nothing left, use the soles of your shoes to kill these things.

Otherwise, whom else are you expecting to rely on?

Here, there are only a few survivors to begin with.

Upon encountering insects, their first reaction was to think of ways to hide.

Taking the initiative to attack was absolutely not within their consideration.

As soon as Squad Leader Cheng suggested this approach, people immediately started responding.

The situation was such that they couldn’t depend on others and had to take action themselves.

"Let’s fight..."

One person came over to help, and then a second followed.

In the end, everyone came over.

Only Sister Wu remained, clutching her child in her arms, her face filled with panic.

At first, there were not many insects, and they were still manageable.

However, later on, they were endless.

And moreover, they couldn’t be killed after just one or two hits.

She watched helplessly as an insect crawled up Squad Leader Cheng’s arm.

The other wanted to shake it off, but it wasn’t that easy.

In desperation, she used the paddle in her hand to flick it off, barely managing to succeed.

Meanwhile, the other insects took advantage of the gap and burrowed in from her feet.

Then came her painful expression.

The sisters beside her also began to fall, one after another.

She was terrified and dared not move forward, her entire body starting to tremble.

Wanting to run backwards, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead, impossible to lift.

"Ah, help me!"

She suddenly burst out with a sentence and still, taking heavy steps, ran out.

But after running just two or three steps, she retreated back.

The insects that followed her in were like a terrifying wave.

A scream spread...

Second Master Teng was with Dong Dali, the two of them in a separate room. freёwebnoѵel.com

When the insects came, someone also called them over.

However, they didn’t spend much time together.

Seeing the situation was bad,

he quickly took out his hidden Soul Summoning Incense, and Dong Dali was also surprised.

"Second Master, you still have this?"

"Shh!"

Second Master Teng quickly stopped him from speaking, and handed him a stick.

The two of them frantically began applying it, as the insects drew closer and closer.

Finally, at the last moment, the insects passed by them.

Both of them let out a sigh of relief, having narrowly escaped.

"Second Master, everyone is dead, what do we do now, we have nowhere to go."

Dong Dali’s voice carried a sob.

At such a time, everyone was scared, and he didn’t feel it was shameful.

"We better not move now, wait for the insects to leave, then find a place.

If we accidentally step on one, it would be very troublesome."

Second Master Teng analyzed calmly, he also never expected that the object of worship by generations would one day personally send their descendants off.

How ironic!

"Second Master, do you have enough incense on you?"

Dong Dali, still uneasy, looked again at his chest.

The Soul Summoning Incense was inside.

"Not enough, it can last a few more hours at most."

He spoke the truth, the insects wouldn’t possibly die in such a short time.

This time, it was really dangerous.

"Second Master, later on, don’t use it on me.

You yourself can last a bit longer, maybe rescue will come."

Hearing this, he let out a bitter laugh.

"Dali, right now everyone is looking out for themselves.

Our village is really doomed this time."
