Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 399: The Worm that Broke Out of its Shell

Having finished speaking, she looked up again at Song Yi.

"Comrade Song, any problem?"

Of course, there was no problem. Song Yi wasn’t one to confuse right and wrong.

"Okay, you go back first, and wait for me to return."

"Mm!"

Jhiang Yuan nodded, aware it was an important matter; she still had to busy herself at the restaurant during the day.

She didn’t say much more and watched as the two left hastily.

"Sister Yuan, do you think they can succeed?"

"What?"

"The stuff happening at Half Moon Lake."

Fan Qing muttered, not quite knowing what to say.

"I don’t know, but if they succeed, perhaps there will be a spring for us too."

Spring, such a lovely word!

If it really could arrive, then this cold winter could end.

The earth warming up would also allow for crop planting, and life could return to normal.

Just thinking about it felt wonderful.

"It’s about time; we should go too. Tiezhu, you take care, and I’ll come to see you later."

"Ah, you’re leaving already?"

Zhang Tiezhu reluctantly looked at Ye Mianmian, his face showing distress, much like a dutiful daughter-in-law who had been wronged.

"It’s okay, I’ll come to see you tonight."

Reassured, he immediately brightened up.

"Then you must promise to come see me, and don’t stand me up."

Ye Mianmian rolled her eyes at him and said nothing, pulling Jhiang Yuan away with her.

On the way, Zhang Kaiyang headed to his office while the three of them went to the restaurant.

"Mianmian, what exactly is going on between you and Zhang Tiezhu?"

A night had passed, and he probably figured things out.

"I’m not too sure myself, just felt it’s okay, I guess."

Okay, so she understood now.

"Well, if possible, try to see how it goes.

If you could find a good place to settle down, I would be at ease."

That way, she would have fulfilled Grandma Ye’s final wish.

"Sister Yuan, I..." freёweɓnovel.com

"Don’t overthink it; I understand.

I don’t oppose you dating, but you must have your principles, knowing what should and what shouldn’t be done, understand?"

"Mm!"

Ye Mianmian nodded vigorously, happy about Jhiang Yuan’s comforting words.

Only mad people would say these sorts of things.

At least, to Jhiang Yuan, she was considered a sister, genuinely treasured.

By midday, everyone was eating.

The staff also picked up their trays, being the last batch to eat.

The restaurant had quieted down by then, with Jhiang Yuan taking the two kids and sitting with Ye Mianmian and Fan Qing, while Qin Yue went to get the soup.

"Goose, goose, goose..."

A strange sound, not very loud, but it resembled the feeling of a duck.

They all turned their heads to look, just to see a woman clutching her neck, appearing to be in great pain.

They hadn’t realized what was happening when Squad Leader Cheng and another female comrade rushed over.

They were coming to get their meals; being busy, they came out late and happened upon the scene.

"What’s going on, did something get stuck?"

The woman across from them had her face turning cyan, staring with eyes wide open in immense pain.

"Goose, goose, goose..."

Jhiang Yuan couldn’t sit still either, quickly heading over to see if she could help.

"Mom, please watch the kids."

"Ai~"

I’m just worried that when things get chaotic later, no one will look after the two children.

If something happens again, that could be really troublesome.

Squad Leader Cheng didn’t hesitate; he directly moved behind the woman.

With his hands crossed, he forcefully struck upwards on the abdomen.

This was the Heimlich maneuver, which she had learned when she gave birth.

One strike after another, Squad Leader Cheng was also very anxious, mainly because the woman’s condition was not improving.

The veins on her neck were visibly bulging, even extending to her face.

Those blue-purple meridians, it was unclear whether they were tendons or blood vessels.

In any case, it was extremely bizarre, reminding her of the Evil Sword Immortal from television dramas.

"Wait a minute, Squad Leader Cheng, it seems like she’s not choking, let her go—!"

Jhiang Yuan had just shouted, and over there the actions had not yet stopped.

Just after that moment, the woman actually spewed a mouthful of blood.

Squad Leader Cheng got scared and quickly released his hands, another companion stabilized the woman’s body.

Because she had already collapsed limply to the ground.

"Quick, lay her flat on the ground, you two, go call for help from the infirmary."

Jhiang Yuan’s voice was loud; at that moment, she didn’t know what else she could do.

The two men named ran out quickly.

Ye Mianmian and Fan Qing were also nearby, helping to lay the woman down properly.

A sister from the restaurant even brought a quilt.

It was used to cover vegetables, and now it was laid on the ground.

The woman’s condition was very bad; she had already fainted, and her body was still jerking spasmodically.

Especially the blue-purple lines on her face, becoming more pronounced, even showing a tendency to move towards her head.

Squad Leader Cheng was also confused, like a child who had done something wrong.

"What’s going on, it seems like she’s contracted a virus."

Fan Qing pointed at the meridians on her face, somewhat scared.

"Don’t talk nonsense, wait for the doctor..."

At this time, stabilizing people’s minds was still very important.

Fan Qing subconsciously shut his mouth and hid behind Jhiang Yuan.

No one dared to step forward; previous experiences told her it was definitely not a good sign.

"What’s wrong, where’s the patient?"

Four people in white coats ran over, and the two behind even carried a stretcher.

"Here!"

The doctor’s arrival made everyone silently heave a sigh of relief.

The woman’s convulsions became even more severe.

"Ah..."

A piercing scream, deafening, as if she was undergoing some painful ordeal.

Suddenly, she abruptly opened her eyes, and the meridians visibly sped towards the top of her head.

No one knew what was going on, and even the doctor had never seen such a thing.

Out of professional cultivation, he still quickly ran over to check her eyes, then shouted again.

Seeing no response from the woman, he then motioned for the two people behind to come over and take her away.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t leave, thinking about whether she could be of any help.

"Oh my, what is that?"

A medical staff member screamed as she saw a red worm emerge from the top of the woman’s head.

It was just a little bit, wildly twisting.

Following that, it slowly pulled itself out.

It was about the size of a thumb, bright red.

"Ahhh..."

The woman’s screams grew louder and louder, an extremely painful expression.

As the worm fell to the ground, the noise abruptly stopped.

Everyone present was in a state of extreme shock.

After the red worm landed, it did not die but quickly crawled towards a nearby medical staff member.

Despite being just a worm, its speed was not slow at all.
