Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: A Good Dog Doesn’t Block The Road
After listening to Yao Ran’s suggestion, Long Yu agreed. “Alright. We will do as Yao Ran said.”

When they returned this morning, the other residents discovered they were injured. For safety, Yao Ran volunteered to stay at home to guard the 20th floor and take care of others, while Long Yu and Shi Xuan went to the department store to find Yuan Rihui.

After Long Yu and Shi Xuan left, Yao Ran did not return to her apartment. She stayed and chatted with Jia Xiang and the others while observing whether they had a fever.

Two hours later, Long Yu and Shi Xuan came back.

“How is it?” Yao Ran asked after the two sat down to drink water.

Long Yu put down his empty glass and replied, “They are willing to exchange food with meat, but they are taking advantage of the rising price of food. One kilogram of meat can be exchanged for two kilograms of broken rice, one kilogram of new rice, or five packs of compressed biscuits.”

After Long Yu told them about the exchange rate, Shi Xuan took out a plastic bag from his backpack and placed it on the low table.

He then said, “We brought five kilograms of meat and exchanged it for five kilograms of new rice.”

Yao Ran checked the rice and found that the quality was very good. She put down the rice and asked, “You’re not being followed?”

Shi Xuan replied, “We are. But I deliberately speeded up and went around in a circle before coming back. Those people won’t be able to find where we live.”

Long Yu added, “Yuan Rihui said they really want this batch of meat and promised to give us new rice. The rice is vacuum-packed and has the latest production date. What do you guys think about this?”

Huang Qian pondered for a moment and said, “I think we can exchange them with new rice and some compressed biscuits. The shelf life of compressed biscuits is longer than that of rice, and we can eat it slowly.”

Jia Xiang said. “I have no objection.”

Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi did not participate in the discussion because they were still shocked by the fierce fighting this morning. The two of them just sat there and listened quietly.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Long Yu turned to look at Yao Ran and asked, “Yao Ran, what about you?”

Yao Ran replied, “I did not contribute to hunting the wild boars. You can decide for yourself.”

Long Yu nodded, “Then let’s exchange half of the meat for new rice and the other half for compressed biscuits.”

After making the decision, they worked together to prepare the meat, which weighed more than 1,400 kilograms. Because they still had pork jerky, each kept only two kilograms of fresh meat and exchanged the rest with Yuan Rihui.

While Shi Xuan and Huang Qian were cleaning up the kitchen, Yao Ran and others put the meat into the garbage bags that Shi Xuan had picked up from the office building.

After packaging the meat, Long Yu, Shi Xuan, and Huang Qian took four hundred kilograms of meat and set out for trading.

They met Yuan Rihui in the department store, avoiding the crowds and trading in an empty corner.

They were wary of each other, so they agreed to bring only three people with them when making the deal. Four hundred kilograms of meat were exchanged for 200 kilograms of new rice and 1,000 packs of compressed biscuits.

After Yuan Rihui checked that the meat was in good condition, he agreed to trade the remaining 1.000 kilograms of meat at six o’clock in the evening.

Shi Xuan circled several times around the area, got rid of the people following their motorboat, and returned safely to the Ling Yuan apartment complex. Carrying backpacks full of rice and boxes of compressed biscuits, they returned to the 20th floor under the curious and envious eyes of other residents.

In the evening, they carried the garbage bags filled with meat downstairs and met Lu Hong. He blocked the stairs, forcing them to stop.

Lu Hong’s eyes fell on the garbage bags in their hands. He smiled and asked, “Do you need help taking out the garbage?”

Long Yu stared at him and said coldly, “No need.”

Lu Hong had his eyes on the 20th floor for days and knew that Long Yu and the others had brought something back this morning. They had already gone out at noon and are going out again in the evening.

Nowadays, everyone throws garbage out of the window, and no one bothers to carry it downstairs. Seeing the bulging garbage bags in their hands, Lu Hong knew that they contained valuable things.

Since he became the building manager, he went out every day, but the supplies he found were becoming less and less. The team members became increasingly dissatisfied with him and often made fun of him, comparing him to these people living on the 20th floor.

Last night, a lot of his team members died, and they lost more than half of their supplies after the robbers attacked. Right now, they were in desperate need of replenishing supplies. If he can cooperate with the 20th floor, he and his family will no longer go hungry.

With this determination in his heart, Lu Hong smiled and stretched out his hand toward the garbage bag in Yao Ran’s hands. His eyes flickered, and he said, “Miss Yao must be tired, right? Let me help you.”

Before he could get close to Yao Ran, Long Yu stood in front of Yao Ran, blocking Lu Hong’s outstretched hand and staring at him coldly. “Get out of the way.”

Facing Long Yu’s cold gaze, Lu Hong’s heart trembled, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing that he was still blocking their way and wasting their time, Huang Qian was not polite and pushed Lu Hong aside with his shoulder.

When passing Lu Hong, Huang Qian sneered, “A good dog doesn’t block the road.”
