Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 395

Chapter 395: Chaos (2)
Survivors focused on securing light and food, but they had forgotten that the absence of the sun meant freezing temperatures.

After staring outside for a while, Yao Ran said, “A Yu, I think something is going to happen today.”

Yao Ran’s intuition was rarely wrong. Long Yu thought for a moment and asked, “Do you think the gang will attack today?”

Yao Ran shook her head and replied, “I’m not sure, but the sudden drop in temperature has left everyone unprepared. Soldiers will need time to organize supplies and control the situation. If the gang wants to attack, today is their best chance.”

After hearing her explanation, Long Yu said, “It won’t be easy for the gang to enter the villa area, but we can’t be too careful. I will find Shi Xuan, and we will set up some traps just in case.”

Yao Ran nodded, “Alright.”

Just as Long Yu turned to leave, the satellite phone on the bedside table rang. The two exchanged glances before Long Yu picked it up.

Connecting the call, he calmly said, “This is Long Yu.”

Li Tianyu’s voice came through a second later. “Captain Long, are you all okay over there?”

“Yes,” Long Yu replied, but hearing smashing sounds and shouting over the phone, he asked, “What is happening on your end?”

Li Tianyu cursed, followed by a gunshot, before replying, “Don’t leave your home unless necessary. Things are chaotic out here. Survivors are looting, burning, and robbing everywhere.”

It had been less than an hour since the temperature dropped, yet chaos had already erupted.

Long Yu’s eyes darkened, and he asked, “Captain Li, could the gangs be behind this?”

“I think so too. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough soldiers, and it’s impossible to identify gang members among the survivors,” Li Tianyu said as he kicked away another survivor from robbing a woman.

Hearing another gunshot, Long Yu said, “We will be careful. If you need anything, let us know.”

“Alright.”

After the call ended, Long Yu turned to Yao Ran and said, “It seems your intuition was right again. The survivors are rioting, robbing, looting, and burning everything.”

Yao Ran’s eyes darkened at his words. Before she could speak, screams and gunshots echoed from outside.

“Ah! It’s robbers!”

“Get inside! Hurry up!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Lock the door, and don’t come out!” A soldier’s anxious shout followed moments later.

After looking at each other for a second, Yao Ran and Long Yu rushed to the windows. Thanks to the street lamps installed in the villa area, they could see what was happening below.

A group of armed, masked men was engaged in a fierce fight with a few soldiers. Yao Ran and Long Yu exchanged a glance before grabbing their weapons.

Before leaving, Yao Ran handed Long Yu a bulletproof vest. Once they had both put on the vests, they hurriedly left the bedroom.

Downstairs, they encountered Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan looked at them and asked, “Captain, Yao Ran, are you guys also going out?”

Yao Ran nodded. “Yes.”

Noticing that Shi Xuan was only wearing a winter jacket, she took out another bulletproof vest, handed it to him, and said, “You should put this on before going out.”

“Thanks.”

Shi Xuan quickly removed his jacket, put on the bulletproof vest, and put on the winter jacket back over it. When he was ready, the three of them hurried out of the villa.

Outside, Yao Ran saw the gang members surrounding the soldiers. Without hesitation, she used her water element energy to create water spikes. Due to the cold temperature, the water spikes quickly turned into ice.

As the ice spikes hovered in the air, Long Yu and Shi Xuan joined the battle. With a flick of her wrist, Yao Ran sent the ice spikes hurtling toward the gang members.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One of the gang members sensed the energy fluctuation in the air and shouted, “Open the shield!”

Following the command, another gang member slammed his palms on the ground. A second later, a massive earth wall rose, blocking the ice spikes.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

The ice spikes struck the wall, leaving deep cracks. Due to differences in ability levels, the earth wall cannot perfectly block Yao Ran’s ice spikes.

Crash!

After holding on for a few seconds, the earth wall crumbled, leaving its creator stunned.

He stared at the shattered remains and shouted in disbelief, “Impossible! My earth wall is my strongest defensive skill! How could it break under these fragile ice spikes?!”

Before he could react further, he suddenly gasped for air.

“Akh!”

The sudden loss of air from his lungs made his heart beat faster. Before he lost consciousness, the man turned around and saw Long Yu also attacking his other brothers. He tried to call for help, but his body quickly lost strength and fell to the ground.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Hearing the sounds, the gang leader turned around and saw over a dozen of his men lying lifeless.

“What’s happening?” he asked in shock.

One of his men fell to the ground, trembling all over as he answered in fear, “I don’t know! They just gasped and died!”

The lifeless men had bulging eyes and bluish lips, clear signs of suffocation. As the leader stood frozen in shock, a cold voice came from behind him.

“Don’t just stand there. You will lose your head.”

Before he could comprehend the warning, a chill ran down his spine. The next thing he knew, the world spun.

Thud!

He felt the cold ground against his cheek, his eyes widening in horror as he saw his headless body standing in front of him. Before he could react, the light in his eyes disappeared, and he took his last breath.

Everything happened in less than a minute, from Yao Ran shooting the ice spike to the leader’s death.

Realizing their leader was dead, the remaining gang members screamed and tried to flee. Unfortunately, the soldiers had already blocked their escape route.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
