Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Delightful Surprise
In addition to the inconvenience of Yao Ran using the wood element ability in front of Long Yu and others, another problem is that they need to jump onto the inflatable boat in heavy rain. If they are unable to stabilize themselves, they may fall into the water.

Due to a lack of confidence, Yao Ran decided to accept Long Yu’s kindness. She held the rope and descended slowly. After she landed safely on the inflatable boat, Long Yu took the rope, put it back into his backpack, and jumped out.

After getting on the boat, he sat down and said, “Let’s go.”

The mountain is not far from the Ling Yuan apartment complex. To save fuel, they decided to use human power today. The four of them held oars and rowed towards the mountain.

Two hours later, they finally reached the mountain.

When they came down and tied the inflatable boat to the tree, Yao Ran felt that her hands were no longer hers. She massaged her sore arms while following behind Long Yu and others.

The four of them walked carefully and slowly climbed up the mountain. With Long Yu’s tracking skills, he finally found some traces on the muddy ground.

Long Yu studied the traces for a while, looked at the others, and said, “There may be beef to eat today.”

When Huang Qian heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, “It’s not a wild boar?”

Long Yu pointed to the faint traces left on the mud, “Look at this.”

Huang Qian squatted down and found that the footprints on the ground were not those of wild boars but those of cows.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to find them in the mountains. Cows are domestic animals, and most of them have owners. Today, they were so lucky to find cows in the mountains.

Full of expectations, the four of them followed the traces and searched for twenty minutes before finally finding a cow not far from them.

Hiding behind the bushes, Long Yu took out his binoculars and observed the surrounding situation.

A few seconds later, he saw a herd of cows not far from the lone cow. He counted them and found that there were more than thirty cows in the herd.

Each one is huge and weighs about 900 kilograms. If these cows were not hungry, each one could weigh more than 1,000 kilograms.

Long Yu lowered the binoculars and said, “There are more than thirty cows here, with an average weight of about 900 kilograms. If we can bring these cows back, we can get a lot of supplies from Yuan Rihui.”

Huang Qian looked at the herd of cows and said, “It’s great that we can find so many cows. But… how are we going to bring them back? Should we turn them into beef jerky first?”

Yao Ran shook her head, “No. We don’t have much seasoning anymore.”

She then thought for a while and added, “Since Yuan Rihui said he wants more meat, how about we sell the meat to them and replace it with grains, flour, or compressed biscuits?”

Exchanging fresh meat directly with Yuan Rihui would save them a lot of time, supplies, and trouble.

The last time Long Yu traded with him, Yuan Rihui said he would accept all their meat. Since they can’t finish the meat, it’s best to exchange them for supplies or food with a long shelf life.

After thinking about it, the other three people also agreed to Yao Ran’s suggestion. Now that they decided to sell meat, they needed a place to slaughter these cows.

Shi Xuan thought about it and said, “On the way here, I saw a villa nearby. We can use that villa as a slaughterhouse.”

“Then let’s take one cow to the villa first.” Long Yu said.

Since they only brought one inflatable boat, space was limited. The cows were also heavier than the wild boars, so they could only be transported one by one.

Hearing what he said, the other three nodded in agreement.

After making the decision, they took out their weapons and prepared to hunt. Today, Yao Ran brought a long bow for hunting.

Seeing the arrows and her long bow, Huang Qian asked curiously, “Yao Ran, how many weapons can you use?”

Yao Ran looked at him and asked, “Aren’t all long-range weapons the same?”

Huang Qian was speechless when he heard her question. He scratched the back of his head and thought, ‘Is that so? I only know how to use a gun.’

After the preparations were completed, Long Yu said, “There are a lot of cows. We can’t bring them all at once, so we will lure them away one by one.”

“It will take a long time to transport these cows to the villa, so Huang Qian will stay here to guard them. Yao Ran will follow us and stay in the villa. Shi Xuan and I will handle the transportation.”

The other three nodded, and they dealt with the lone cow first. In order to avoid alerting other cows, they slowly approached the lone cow, and then Yao Ran shot it with an arrow coated with an anesthetic.

Swish~ Stab!

“Moo~”

Boom!

The cow let out a faint ‘moo’ and fell unconscious to the muddy ground.

Seeing this scene, Huang Qian couldn’t help but ask, “Yao Ran, how much anesthetic did you use to make that big cow fall asleep in seconds?”

Yao Ran took out a small bottle from her pocket and showed it to Huang Qian. “I just coat my arrows with this medicine.”

Huang Qian needed to guard the cows, so Yao Ran gave him the anesthetic and the bow. When he was trying the bow, Long Yu and Shi Xuan had already dragged the sleeping cow and said, “Yao Ran, let’s go.”

“Mhm.”

Yao Ran waved to Huang Qian and then helped Long Yu and Shi Xuan move the cow to the inflatable boat. Leaving Huang Qian behind, the three of them headed to the villa five hundred meters away from the mountain.
