Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Night Moss, Glowing Mushroom (2)
Yao Ran nodded at Long Yu’s words and discreetly used her wood element energy to mark the three men. As long as her wood element energy remained on them, she could track their exact locations and sense if they used their abilities.

As they walked toward the Institute of Agriculture, Yuan Rihui led them to the place he had reserved beforehand. Soon, they arrived at a counter at the back.

Yuan Rihui turned to Yao Ran and Long Yu and said, “Miss Yao, we can line up here.”

Noticing only a few people ahead in line, Yao Ran realized this counter was for those with reservations. Nodding at him, she and the others joined the queue.

Before long, it was Yao Ran’s turn. She observed the two glass bottles on the counter for a moment, then looked at the staff and asked, “Excuse me, how can I get the Night Moss and Glowing Mushroom?”

The staff pointed to the glass bottles and explained, “For free, you can get an ounce of Night Moss and one pack of Glowing Mushroom spawn. If you want more, you will need to pay with supplies or base coins.”

Realizing the limited availability of these items, Yao Ran decided there was no need to request more than the free allocation.

“I will take the free one,” Yao Ran said after pondering for a moment.

The staff nodded. “Please show me your ID card.”

Yao Ran handed over her ID card and waited briefly before receiving it back along with a small package containing the Night Moss and Glowing Mushroom spawn.

Afterward, she waited for Long Yu and the others on the side. It took about fifteen minutes for everyone to receive their share.

As groups began to rob and fight nearby, Long Yu said, “Let’s head back before more survivors show up.”

On their way back to the villa area, they encountered a chaotic scene of robbery and looting. Hundreds of people were fighting each other, snatching supplies. After robbing their victims, the perpetrators tried to flee but were blocked by three armored vehicles.

Before the soldiers could exit the vehicles, the robbers attacked, smashing the glass windows with iron rods.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Despite their efforts, the tempered glass remained unscathed. While the robbers couldn’t break into the vehicles, the soldiers inside were also unable to get out.

Observing from a distance, Li Zhen said, “Captain, the soldiers from the First Army are inside. I saw Captain Wu inside one of the armored vehicles.”

Hearing this, Long Yu turned to Yuan Rihui and said, “Brother Yuan, you and your men should head back first.”

Guessing what they wanted to do, Yuan Rihui nodded. “Alright.”

After Yuan Rihui and his men left, Yao Ran informed them, “Three people are following and observing us nearby. Be cautious when fighting the robbers.”

Long Yu and the others nodded. “Understood.”

With that, they rushed toward the armored vehicles.

Inside one of the vehicles, Wu Lian noticed their approach. Smiling, he picked up a walkie-talkie and said, “Brothers, get ready to move out.”

The soldiers in the other two vehicles promptly responded, “Yes, Captain.”

Outside, Yao Ran and her companions unleashed their abilities without holding back. Their colorful attacks illuminated the darkness, splattering blood with each strike. Within minutes, more than a dozen robbers died while the others fled, realizing they couldn’t defeat Yao Ran and the others.

As the injured robbers groaned on the ground, Yao Ran said, “It’s done. The soldiers can handle the cleanup. Let’s leave before the robbers return.”

The others agreed and quickly departed, leaving Wu Lian and his team to clean up the aftermath.

Watching them leave, Wu Lian chuckled and ordered his men, “Clean up the area and arrest the robbers.”

Upon returning to the villa, Yao Ran saw Yuan Rihui and the others waiting for them at the entrance to the outer district.

Relieved to see everyone safe, Yuan Rihui hurriedly approached. “Are you all alright?”

Yao Ran nodded and asked, “Why are you waiting here instead of going home?”

Glancing at the roadside, Yuan Rihui whispered, “Those people are following us, so I plan to wait for you guys first.”

Following his gaze, Yao Ran spotted more than a dozen people squatting by the roadside, staring intently at them. Noticing Yao Ran’s attention, one of them stood up and walked up to her.

Standing before them, the muscular woman addressed Yuan Rihui, “I know you. You are the black market dealer, Brother Yuan, right?”

Yuan Rihui looked at her calmly and asked, “What do you want?”

The woman glanced at Yao Ran’s slender frame with envy before returning her focus to Yuan Rihui. Clenching her fists, she asked, “I heard you sell a potion that cures deformation. Is that rumor true?”

Yuan Rihui glanced at Yao Ran. Seeing her nod, he confirmed, “Yes.”

The woman’s eyes lit up with hope at his words. Taking a deep breath to calm down, she asked, “How much for one dose of the potion?”

Yuan Rihui still had a few doses left from the batch Yao Ran had given him, and he had already made significant profits. Looking at this muscular woman, she seems desperate to heal her body.

After a moment’s thought, Yuan Rihui asked, “What can you offer in exchange for the potion?”

The muscular woman fell silent for a moment before saying, “I don’t have anything to pay you, but I can work for you. My friends and I are all ability users. We can work to pay off the potion.”

Hearing this, Yao Ran raised her brows with interest as she watched Yuan Rihui consider the muscular woman’s proposal.

After a moment of thought, Yuan Rihui said, “Alright. We are indeed in need of ability users. I will give you the potion, but you must work for us for one year. After the contract expires, you can choose to leave or continue working for us.”

“While working for us, we will provide daily necessities, food, and medical care for you and your family members. The amount of supplies you receive each month will depend on your performance. However, if we discover any betrayal, we will kill you and your family members.”
