Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Double Happiness

Nina Summers nodded and replied, "Don’t worry, cousin. I remember everything!"

Melody Summers had reminded Nina several times recently not to get caught in the rain or let her wound get wet. Nina took the warning to heart; she hadn’t even dared to open a window for ventilation these past few days.

There was a reason for Melody’s repeated warnings. This rain was different from ordinary rain; it carried a new type of insect egg.

These eggs could hatch in standing water. The resulting larvae resembled large maggots, while the adults looked like small bees. Unlike bees, however, they were covered in a layer of corrosive mucus.

Most distinctively, they were vibrantly colored. Their bodies were composed of red, green, and yellow, just like a traffic light.

In her past life, experts had named this new species the "Tricolor Parasitoid Wasp."

The Tricolor Parasitoid Wasp generally didn’t attack humans, but its eggs could enter the body through broken skin and infest a wound. Once the wound healed, the Tricolor Parasitoid Wasp’s eggs were trapped inside the skin.

The Tricolor Parasitoid Wasp eggs remaining in the body would hatch into larvae. These larvae could secrete a fluid that dissolved the surrounding human tissue, turning flesh and blood into nutrients to sustain them.

Once the larvae grew to three to five centimeters long inside the host, they would release a neurotoxin that attacked the body’s organs, including the brain.

In her past life, quite a few people infested by the Tricolor Parasitoid Wasp had their brains controlled by its neurotoxin, causing them to voluntarily jump into rivers and drown.

Experts theorized that the Tricolor Parasitoid Wasp larvae longed to return to the water to live and reproduce, so they controlled the host’s brain to make them jump into a river.

At this thought, Melody couldn’t help but give her family another warning at the dinner table.

The Tricolor Parasitoid Wasp hadn’t been discovered yet, so Melody could only tell her family that the rain was contaminated and they should do their best to avoid skin contact.

Her family listened to Melody’s words and all promised to remember, saying they would always wear raincoats when they went out.

Halfway through their meal, Roman Rhodes arrived, bringing some unexpected good news for the Summers family—

Winnie Summers had been selected to join the Reconstruction Department!

"The Reconstruction Department? Is that a new department?" Her grandmother curiously took the document from Roman Rhodes’s hand, looking it over and over, an irrepressible smile spreading across her face.

She didn’t understand what it meant, but she knew it had to be a good thing, or Roman Rhodes wouldn’t have made a special trip to announce it.

Melody also hurried to her grandmother’s side and saw that the document in her hands was the selection list for the Reconstruction Department.

Just as Melody remembered from her past life, Roman Rhodes’s name appeared in the first row of the list, along with two other top leaders, as a general director of the reconstruction effort.

And right below, in the second row, was Winnie Summers’s name.

Melody was both shocked and delighted. This was completely unexpected!

She had thought Winnie might get into the Reconstruction Department, but she never expected her to become a director!

Grace Sutton’s face flushed with excitement. "Wonderful! This is just wonderful!" she exclaimed. "Our Winnie is going to be an official! The ancestors must be smiling down on us!"
