Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 518

Chapter 518: Shocking Information
“Yes, Commander.” The staff member saluted and hurried to make the arrangement.

With that, Yao Ran bid farewell to Fu Zongshang and the senior officers before following another staff member.

After they had left, Fu Zongshang turned to the senior officers. “Let’s continue our meeting.”

“Yes, Commander.”

While Fu Zongshang and the others returned to the meeting room, Yao Ran and her team were busy settling in.

That evening, Li Tianyu got the news of their arrival and came to visit them. Living nearby, it took Li Tianyu less than five minutes to reach the villa where Yao Ran and the others lived.

Seeing people in black combat suits patrolling the area, Li Tianyu immediately knew that Xu Ruihan and the others must have decided to come here with Yao Ran.

When the bodyguards saw Li Tianyu, they nodded and greeted him. “Captain Li, it’s good to see you again.”

Li Tianyu saluted them and pointed at a villa. “Is Miss Yao living in this villa?”

One of the bodyguards shook his head, pointed to another villa across the street, and replied, “That one is Miss Yao’s villa. This one belongs to my boss.”

Understanding the situation, Li Tianyu said, “Please let your boss know that I will visit him another day.”

The bodyguard nodded. “Will do.”

“Thanks, brother.” Thanking the bodyguard, Li Tianyu made his way to Yao Ran’s villa.

Noticing that everyone lived in the same compound as him and the others, Li Tianyu couldn’t help but think, ‘Commander Fu is quite considerate.’

Seeing that no one was guarding the gate, Li Tianyu pressed the doorbell hanging on the wall and waited.

Ding~ Dong!

Inside the villa, Yao Ran and the others were in the middle of a meeting.

When the doorbell rang, Deng Qiqi stood up and said, “I will go check.”

Walking to the entrance, Deng Qiqi was surprised to see Li Tianyu through the windows. She quickly went out and opened the gate. Stepping to the side, she greeted him with a smile. “Captain Li, it’s nice to see you again.”

At the end of the world, meeting a friend again after separation was a rare blessing. Hearing the same greeting twice in less than five minutes, Li Tianyu felt a warmth spread in his heart.

He smiled back at Deng Qiqi and replied, “I’m glad to see you in good health, Miss Deng.”

Deng Qiqi chuckled and stepped aside. “Please come inside. Elder Brother Long and the others are having a meeting in the living room.”

“Alright.”

As Deng Qiqi closed the gate, Li Tianyu walked into the villa. Since the villa’s layout was identical to his own, he knew the way and went directly to the living room.

Stepping inside, he saw all his friends gathered there. Seeing that they were too focused to notice him, he said, “You guys just arrived this afternoon and are already so busy.”

As his voice echoed in the spacious living room, everyone turned toward the entrance.

Seeing Li Tianyu smiling at them, Li Zhen’s eyes lit up. He stood up, walked up to Li Tianyu, and hugged him. “Captain Li, I’m glad you made it here safely.”

Li Tianyu patted Li Zhen’s back and laughed. “Don’t you know how lucky I am? Coming here wasn’t easy, but thanks to everyone’s help, we managed to survive the journey.”

After exchanging greetings, the two of them sat down on the carpeted floor. Once Deng Qiqi returned and sat beside Huang Zhihui, Long Yu said, “It’s good that Captain Li is here as well.”

Hearing this, Li Tianyu asked, “Do you have something to tell me, Captain Long?”

Long Yu nodded. “We were just discussing our next plan.”

Li Tianyu thought for a moment before asking, “Are you finally planning to attack The Ark now?”

Long Yu replied, “Yes. But before that, we need to locate their headquarters.”

“After Fengcheng City sank into the ocean, The Ark seemed to vanish from the world. However, we have recently discovered that they are still operating in the shadows, continuing whatever agenda they have.”

Hearing this, Li Tianyu pondered for a moment and said, “It sounds like you already know what they are planning.”

Shi Xuan shook his head at Li Tianyu’s words and responded, “We haven’t uncovered their ultimate goal yet, but we have found some crucial information.”

“What kind of information?” Li Tianyu asked with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

At his question, Yao Ran took out three glass bottles containing extracted abilities from her space.

Placing them in front of her, she explained, “The spheres inside these bottles are abilities extracted from ability users. The reason so many ability users have disappeared in the past is that they were kidnapped by The Ark.”

“Using a secret method, The Ark extracts their abilities and converts them into ability awakening potions, which are then distributed to the public through various channels.”

“We recently discovered that the Long family is responsible for distributing these potions in Nirvana, while the Du family handles their transportation from The Ark.”

Yao Ran paused for a moment before adding, “Unfortunately, we still haven’t located The Ark’s headquarters.”

After listening to this shocking revelation, Li Tianyu fell silent. After a moment, he spoke. “I didn’t just come to visit and see how you guys are doing, but I also brought something to show you.”

He pulled out a laptop from his backpack and turned it on. As he opened a satellite surveillance feed, he turned the screen toward the others.

As they watched, Li Tianyu explained, “One of my subordinates is a former hacker. He managed to breach the database of the last remaining satellite in orbit and found this.”

As the footage played, Huang Zhihui gasped in shock.

The screen showed scientists in white robes mutilating children and placing them into cylindrical tubes filled with blue liquid. In other tubes, mutated children—some with animalistic features, others with missing body parts—floated lifelessly.

Unable to bear the sight any longer, Huang Zhihui shut her eyes and looked away.

By the time the footage ended, everyone’s expressions were grim and heavy.
