Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 401: Could it be a Gu Insect?

Jhiang Yuan quickly explained the situation to him, and Jiang Yuan had already squatted down.

Gazing at the puddle of blood, he also slightly furrowed his brow.

"Xiao Liu, take a sample—"

"Okay—"

Watching them busily moving around, Jhiang Yuan also felt reassured.

That insect was really bizarre, she needed to hurry and check on the two kids, feeling especially uneasy in her heart.

Soon, that side was taken care of.

Jiang Yuan didn’t let the local people here intervene; the people who came with them cleaned up the place.

By the way, the two deceased were also taken away together.

"I’m going to check it out first, you relax for now, we’ll talk in the evening,"

"Okay—"

Song Yi was like that, at least he would give you a heads-up.

Jhiang Yuan started to busily work in the back kitchen, while Squad Leader Cheng, seeing the close interaction between the two, felt a bit uncomfortable inside.

What’s the matter with this person, weren’t they said to have no special relationship!

...

The restaurant incident spread quickly.

Everyone was somewhat afraid, to the extent that even when getting meals in the evening, they would ask a few specific questions.

A meeting was also held here; no extra talk was allowed.

With such a mysterious affair, everyone was frightened at heart.

Not being allowed to talk, they definitely wouldn’t gab.

It was the same on Jhiang Yuan’s end; whenever she encountered the curious, she would always respond with a calm smile, then call out, "Next, please..."

Curiosity killed the cat—wasn’t Zhang Tiezhu a living example.

Finally, when everyone had left, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Song Yi came over.

She hurriedly served him food and then also picked up her own meal tray and stepped out.

They sat down at a corner table, with Zhang Kaiyang, Fan Qing, and Ye Mianmian also joining in—the main event was that no one could be left out.

Qin Yue, accompanied by the two kids, sat at another table behind them.

"Brother Song, hurry up and tell us, what exactly happened over there?"

"Yeah, I’ve been worried all afternoon,"

Ye Mianmian, ever so curious, watched Song Yi unblinkingly.

He wasn’t in a rush; he peeled an egg and stood up to take it to the kids.

Only then did he begin to narrate slowly, "It’s nothing serious, that red insect is now under Professor Jiang’s research. As for specifics, there’s no conclusion yet."

"Ah..."

Many were somewhat disappointed.

"Brother Song, don’t you think, this thing looks particularly like the Gu insects we heard about before?"

Zhang Kaiyang began his own mysterious analysis.

"Gu insects, what era are you living in, you actually still believe in that?"

Fan Qing retorted sarcastically and immediately felt something awkward.

"It couldn’t really be true, could it?"

"I heard before, those things are just worms, and every Gu insect is different.

But to control a person’s body and some other strange and unusual things, that’s all possible."

"You’re making it sound so scary."

Ye Mianmian still couldn’t accept it and hoped to get affirmation from Jhiang Yuan.

"I’m not too clear on this, but I had a college classmate whose family was from Guizhou.

He once said, in some areas there, people still practice Gu casting.

That’s why they never give away their outgrown or old clothing to others.

It’s believed that with the clothing, your scent is on it."

"Damn, that’s really creepy."

Zhang Kaiyang had already started shivering and even began to suspect if he had jinxed himself.

"But the insect today was really strange, it could find its next target on its own.

Moreover, when it came out of the second person’s body, it was visibly larger.

And it could even pass through the soles of shoes, weird, right?"

She had witnessed today’s events with her own eyes. If someone else had told her, she probably wouldn’t have believed them.

"It is indeed unusual, but there have been too many unusual things happening lately. It’s better to be careful."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Though they were no longer together, their reverence for Song Yi remained as strong as ever. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"By the way, what did you guys say when you went over there today?"

Song Yi ate his bowl of rice quickly, knowing that Jhiang Yuan would definitely ask.

"It seemed to change every day over there, the grass was greener, it looked as if it had grown a lot overnight.

Professor Jiang didn’t know what was going on either, he took some samples back.

The temperature there was the same as outside; we just don’t know if it was a humidity issue."

Truth be told, he didn’t quite understand those things either.

But he had told her everything he knew without any modifications.

"What about those trees, did you go see them?"

Compared to others, Zhang Kaiyang was even more curious about them.

"We did. They were the same as before, unable to be chopped down, but they seemed to be somewhat afraid of fire.

Today, they almost dragged a young brother into the lab."

"What?

With so many people around, it dared to brazenly attempt murder?"

Zhang Kaiyang was totally unsettled, even standing up from his chair.

"Sit down, let Brother Song speak..."

Fan Qing roughly pulled him back into his seat.

"Brother Song, please tell us, what exactly happened?"

It turned out, they had gone there today because Jiang Yuan wanted to collect samples.

But they just couldn’t get them down.

When injured, those branches would flail wildly, and hitting someone, it really hurt.

Feeling it was futile, they thought about using other methods.

This young brother wanted to try again and was drafted for the task.

Luckily, everyone was nearby. Song Yi lit a fire immediately and rescued the person.

"Kaiyang, try not to get too excited.

Plants don’t have thoughts. It was probably just seizing an opportunity.

Fortunately, there were no casualties. It’s a silver lining in an unfortunate situation."

"That’s true, but I have a really bad feeling about those trees."

He sighed, overwhelmed by the idea of the trees feeding on people.

"Did Professor Jiang say what species it was?"

Jhiang Yuan asked, still curious about the tree.

"No, he hadn’t seen it before either, said he was going to look into it thoroughly when we get back...

Also, those trees won’t be left there. A report has already been filed, and someone will specifically come to deal with them tomorrow."

"That’s a relief, no more people will be harmed.

Sister Mianmian, hurry up and tell Tiezhu so he can be happy too."

Ye Mianmian gave him a look but didn’t say anything more.

Everyone started packing up, preparing to head to the dormitories.

Ye Mianmian still had to deliver meals, with Fan Qing and Zhang Kaiyang accompanying her.

Jhiang Yuan took the two children back home, just having parted with Song Yi when she ran into Squad Leader Cheng.

"Jhiang Yuan, I’d like to talk to you..."

Huh?

"Okay, wait a moment, I’ll take the kids home first."

"Sure, go ahead~"

Wondering what it was about, after Jhiang Yuan had settled the two little ones, she went directly to her office.
