Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Meteor Shower
A second later, a man’s voice reported, “Director, the target has left Juncheng Military Base and is heading toward Luocheng City.”

After a brief pause, Gao Shuwei replied, “Good. Keep tracking him and ensure he finds what we have set up for him.”

“Yes, Director.”

Ending the call, Gao Shuwei stared into the oppressive darkness outside. After a long silence, he muttered with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

“Will I win this gamble, or will we all perish again? Yehao, don’t disappoint me this time.”

A few days after Wu Yehao left the Juncheng Military Base for Luocheng City, Yao Ran and the others were awakened by a loud noise and the shaking of the ground.

Boom!

When the ground shook, Yao Ran and Long Yu opened their eyes at the same time. Before they could process what was happening, another loud sound echoed from outside.

Boom!

Without wasting time, they hurriedly got out of bed, put on their thick winter jackets, and left the bedroom. By the time they stepped out of the villa, Shi Xuan and the others had also come out one after another.

Stepping outside the metal gate, Yao Ran quickly took out a solar lamp from her space and turned it to its brightest setting. The bright light instantly illuminated the dim surroundings, giving her a clearer view of what was happening.

Noticing an increasing number of people running out of their houses, Yao Ran scanned the area. Her heart trembled when she saw a collapsed villa.

The other villa owners, equally shocked, stared at the ruins, frozen at their places.

All the villas in the central district were built using high-quality materials and were designed to withstand even earthquakes. What kind of force could destroy a villa like this?

Soon, the patrol team arrived. Seeing everyone frozen in shock, the captain ordered, “Quick! Rescue the people inside!”

Following his order, the patrol guards rushed forward to move the debris.

Before they could begin, someone pointed to the dark sky and shouted, “Look! What is that?”

The moment his words fell, everyone turned their eyes to the dark sky.

When Yao Ran saw countless bright lights falling from above, her eyes widened in surprise. “It’s a meteor shower,” she said.

Usually, meteorites will burn to ashes before reaching the ground. However, this time, the meteorites appeared significantly larger.

Realizing what would happen if those meteorites crashed to the ground, Yao Ran glanced at the collapsed villa and muttered in shock, “The thing that destroyed that villa is a meteorite!”

Hearing this, Long Yu and the others shifted their gazes between the collapsed villa and the bright streaks in the sky.

The tall, burly man couldn’t hold back anymore and cursed, “Fuck! Is this even real?!”

Startled by the outburst, Yao Ran turned to look at the burly man.

Standing beside him, Ma Benshun slapped his back and shouted in annoyance, “What are you yelling for?”

Guan Haotian grimaced and asked Long Yu, “Captain, shouldn’t we run away now?”

Long Yu’s expression darkened as he stated, “There is no safe place anywhere.”

“Then what should we do? We can’t just stay here and wait for death, right?” Li Zhen asked.

Before Long Yu could respond, Yao Ran interjected, “Pack your things. We will find an open place and avoid these meteorites for now.”

Leaving those words behind, she hurried back to the villa and began storing everything in her space. Seeing this, Long Yu and the others quickly followed suit.

While they were busy packing, the meteorites finally struck the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening sounds echoed through the darkness as the ground shook intermittently. Within minutes, Yao Ran had stored everything she could, leaving behind only items that couldn’t be taken.

She looked at the metal doors and tempered glass, her mind spinning at a fast speed as she made a quick decision.

With how things are going, they probably won’t return here in the future. Rather than let these tempered glass and metal doors be destroyed and buried, she should take them away.

Making her decision, Yao Ran stored the tempered glass and metal doors directly in her space without disassembling them from the windows or door panels. Although this process damaged the villa’s walls and windows, she preserved the metal doors and tempered glass intact.

Just when she put away the last tempered glass, Long Yu came, grabbed her hand, and dragged her outside without a word.

“Everyone, leave now!” he shouted as he and Yao Ran rushed out of the villa.

Following his order, Shi Xuan and the others slung their backpacks over their shoulders, grabbed their weapons, and left the villa immediately. Thanks to their night-vision goggles, they didn’t bother using flashlights.

Outside, the calm had vanished, replaced by chaos and terror.

Boom!

Another meteor crashed in the near distance, escalating the panic in everyone’s hearts.

“Run!”

“Quick! Stand up and run if you don’t want to die!”

Standing in front of the villa, Long Yu tightened his grip on Yao Ran’s hand. He quickly assessed the situation and said, “It’s not safe to drive right now. Let’s run and leave this place first.”

Thanks to their years of training, Shi Xuan and the others remained calm. They nodded and replied, “Yes, Captain.”

Just as they began running, Yao Ran noticed Xu Boya and the others being escorted out of the villa across the street. Seeing the three elderly men, Yao Ran felt heavy in her heart. After this separation, they might never meet again.

Noticing her gaze, Long Yu said, “Ran Ran, we can’t save everyone.”

Yao Ran understood his words and closed her eyes. A few seconds later, she opened them and calmly said, “Let’s go.”

She looked at the three old men for the last time and then ran alongside Long Yu and the others.

Within minutes, Yao Ran counted more than twenty meteorites crashing into the ground. Each impact sent tremors through the ground, while sand and dust in the air further obscured their already limited vision.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
