Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Will The Disaster End?
After passing Lu Hong, Huang Qian went downstairs, followed by his friend. Standing at the top of the stairs, Lu Hong clenched his hands and glared at them until they disappeared from his sight.

“You’d better pray that you don’t fall into my hands! Hmph!” He snorted and then went home angrily.

After loading the meat, Long Yu, Shi Xuan, and Huang Qian went to meet Yuan Rihui, while Yao Ran and others returned home.

When the three of them came back, it was already ten o’clock in the evening. Hearing the sound of the motorboat, Yao Ran went downstairs and saw Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi already waiting there.

With their help, they can transport all the rice and compressed biscuits to the 20th floor in just one trip. They sat in the living room of unit 2001, dividing the rice and compressed biscuits equally.

Looking at the pile of rice and boxes of compressed biscuits, Huang Zhihu said with a relieved smile, “With this batch of food, we won’t have to worry about food for at least two years.”

Deng Qiqi nodded, “Yes. By then, everything should be back to normal, right?”

Yao Ran did not answer because she knew that even after ten years had passed since the end of the world, human civilization still hadn’t been restored in her previous life.

Even after being locked up in the laboratory for two years, Yao Ran still learned about the outside world from the researchers’ conversations. When she died, the situation was really horrible.

At that time, natural disasters and mutants had wiped out more than 90% of humans worldwide. Among the remaining population, only one percent had superpowers. Yao Ran knows that in a few years, humans will become extinct.

Seeing that no one answered her, Deng Qiqi’s eyes turned red, and she asked again, “Will the disaster end?”

Yao Ran sighed, looked out the window, and whispered, “Maybe.”

She remembers that after an extreme cold and the flood receded, the government established the first human base.

Unfortunately, as soon as the extreme cold ended, extreme heat came. The lack of water and supplies hindered the progress of base construction, forcing humans to live in ruins to avoid the extreme heat.

In her previous life, she lived in Haicheng Base and was starving most of the time. But this time, she made different choices and came to Juncheng City. There should be a way for her to change her fate.

She looked at the six people sitting with her and thought, ‘Maybe I can really survive this time.’

Seeing that it was getting late, Yao Ran said, “It’s not early anymore. I should go back.”

Long Yu saw her carrying the rice and said, “Let me help you.”

They exchanged 1,400 kilograms of meat for 700 kilograms of rice and 3,500 packs of compressed biscuits, with each receiving 100 kilograms of rice and 700 packs of compressed biscuits.

Since Yao Ran did not go with them when hunting wild boars, she only took 50 kilograms of rice and 400 packs of compressed biscuits. With Long Yu’s help, she could move all the rice and compressed biscuits at once.

After returning home, Yao Ran took a shower in her space and then went to sleep.

The next morning, she was awakened by a knock on the door. After putting on her coat, Yao Ran opened the door and saw Long Yu.

He looked at her sleepy look and asked, “Did I wake you up?”

Yao Ran rubbed her eyes and yawned, “It’s fine. Do you need anything?”

Long Yu nodded, “I plan to hunt wild boars again. Jia Xiang’s leg is injured, and I would like to invite you to come with us.”

After listening to what he said, Yao Ran’s sleepiness disappeared immediately.

As floodwaters rise, the mountain could be submerged within days. They must collect more supplies as soon as possible. The temperature has dropped rapidly in the past few days, and Yao Ran has a hunch that the severe cold may arrive ahead of schedule.

She thought for a while and nodded, “Okay. When will we leave?”

“We will set off in ten minutes.” Long Yu replied.

“Got it.”

After Long Yu left, Yao Ran closed the door and got ready. Ten minutes later, she left her apartment.

Looking at the bandage on Long Yu’s arm, Yao Ran reminded him, “Be careful with your injuries. Try not to come into contact with flood water.”

Listening to her reminders, Long Yu smiled, “Mhm.”

The four of them went downstairs carrying backpacks, weapons, and an inflatable boat. Since the water had reached the 12th floor, they needed to leave from the windows on the 13th floor.

Yao Ran looked out the window and saw that more than four meters separated them from the water’s surface. She looked at Long Yu and asked, “How did you get down yesterday?”

Before Long Yu had time to answer, Huang Qian had already put down the inflatable boat and jumped out of the windows. His movements were smooth and light. When he landed on the inflatable boat, there were barely any ripples on the water’s surface.

After standing up, Huang Qian looked up and said, “Yao Ran, come on. Just jump down. It’s not high.”

Yao Ran looked at him and fell into silence. Seeing her hesitation, Long Yu said to Shi Xuan, “Shi Xuan, you go down first.”

Shi Xuan nodded and jumped down without hesitation. With only the two of them left, Long Yu took out a rope from his backpack. He tied one end of the rope around his waist and dropped the other end.

After that, he looked at Yao Ran and said, “I will hold the rope for you.”

Four meters is not too high for Long Yu and his friends, but it is different for Yao Ran. Although her body is stronger than that of ordinary people due to her abilities and training, she will still be injured if she falls from such a high place. Moreover, she cannot use her wood element abilities in front of others.
