Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Elder Cousin
Yao Ran paused for a moment, then added in a trembling voice, “A Yu, only when I remember who you are can I break free from that illusion.”

Noticing the fear in her eyes, Long Yu pulled her closer and held her tightly. Pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, he whispered, “It’s alright. I’m here. No one can hurt you anymore.”

Feeling his warmth, Yao Ran gradually stopped trembling. Once she calmed down, she looked around and realized they had already escaped the deformed monsters’ encirclement.

Noticing that only the two of them remained on the armored vehicle’s rooftop, Yao Ran asked, “Where is Wu Yehao?”

Seeing that she finally stopped trembling, Long Yu let out a sigh of relief and answered, “You have been trapped in the illusion for over three hours. Seeing that we can’t wake you up, he and the others went ahead to scout the route. It looks like we won’t be able to enter the secret laboratory today.”

After listening to what he said, Yao Ran fell into deep thought. A few seconds later, she said, “Let’s go inside first.”

Seeing that she was still weak, he carried her in his arms and jumped down from the armored car. Walking into the half-collapsed house, Long Yu found a cleaner spot before setting Yao Ran down.

“Wait a moment. Let me clear away these rubbles first.”

After cleaning enough space for her to sit, Long Yu carefully helped Yao Ran sit down. Then, he took out a bottle of lake water from his backpack and handed it to her.

After taking a few mouthfuls of lake water, Yao Ran finally felt better. While the two of them rested inside, Wu Yehao and the others returned from their scouting.

Seeing that Yao Ran was already awake, Yao Yuechuan rushed toward her. He squatted in front of her, checked her from left to right, and asked worriedly, “Younger Sister, are you alright? Do you still feel any pain?”

After not seeing him for so long, Yao Ran noticed that Yao Yuechuan seemed thinner. She took his hands that were rubbing her cheek away and replied, “I’m fine now. Thank you for your concern.”

Hearing that she was fine, Yao Yuechuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled at her and said, “It’s good that you are alright.”

Once everyone found a place to sit and rest inside the house, Wu Yehao said, “The deformed monsters are currently surrounding this area. The strange thing is, they seem to be forming a barrier around us as none of them are getting past that invisible line.”

Yao Yuechuan nodded and added, “Yeah. Also, they just seem to be standing still without moving.”

After Yao Ran and Long Yu listened to their observations, the two of them exchanged glances.

Seeing this, Wu Yehao asked, “Do you two know something?”

Yao Ran looked at them and explained, “Yes. I saw a big head deformed monster when we were leaving the meeting point. After observing it, I realized that it has the ability to control the other deformed monsters.”

“Moreover, that big head monster seems to possess a mental ability that can trap anyone who makes eye contact with it in an illusion. I was caught in one of its illusions earlier. I also believe that those who fail to escape its illusion would die inside it.”

When the others heard this, their expressions darkened.

After a long silence, Wu Yehao said, “If we want to leave this place, we must find that big head monster and kill it. However, since Eldest Young Lady said we shouldn’t look into its eyes, we need to find a way to kill it without making direct eye contact.”

The others nodded in agreement after they listened to his words.

Yao Ran pondered on his words for a moment and suggested, “How about using a drone to locate it and then eliminating it from a distance?”

Wu Yehao thought about her suggestion and said, “That’s a good idea. But where can we find a drone right now? There are a few drones at the safe checkpoint, but we can’t leave this place.”

“I have some with me.” After saying that, Yao Ran took out a drone from her space and added, “I’m not sure if this model is good enough for this plan.”

When Yao Yuechuan saw the drone suddenly appear in her palm, he said, “Younger Sister, you really have a spatial ability. Have you managed to activate the jade pendant?”

The moment he asked that, Yao Ran’s eyes flickered with murderous intent.

Sensing the sudden cold killing intent directed at him, Yao Yuechuan hurriedly said, “Younger Sister, why are you suddenly angry? I was just asking.”

Ignoring the others, Yao Ran suddenly shot vines toward Yao Yuechuan, tying him up like a dumpling. Before he could react, she rushed forward as her long sword appeared in her hand.

The next second, Yao Yuechuan felt something cold press against his neck. Feeling a stinging pain and the rusty scent of blood in the air, he swallowed hard.

Looking at Yao Ran’s cold eyes filled with murderous intent, he forced a smile and carefully said, “Younger Sister, please calm down. If you are upset with me, let’s just talk it out calmly.”

Yao Ran narrowed her eyes and asked, “How do you know about the jade pendant?”

Hearing this, Yao Yuechuan asked in return, “Hasn’t Yehao told you about my identity before?”

Yao Ran frowned slightly at his question. After thinking for a moment, she finally recalled her conversation with Wu Yehao back at her villa in the Juncheng Military Base.

Seeing the change in her expression, Yao Yuechuan relaxed slightly and added, “It seems you finally remember that I am your elder cousin.”

Yao Ran sneered and asked, “Do you think I will trust you just because you said so?”

Feeling hurt by her words, Yao Yuechuan pouted, lowered his voice, and said, “I remember that you have a flower birthmark on your lower back. Back then, when Grandpa accidentally saw it when you saved him, he decided to conduct a paternity test.”
