Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Proposal
Because there were too many people attacking at the same time, Jia Xiang was not careful, and her arm was slashed. If it weren’t for the fact that the four of them had received professional combat training, it would still be a question of whether they could come back safely.

After leaving the supermarket, they met several groups of people who wanted to rob them. They fought all night, thinking they could finally rest after returning.

However, as soon as they entered the Ling Yuan apartment complex, more people targeted them, and they even had to fight with people from Buildings 2 and 4. If Yao Ran hadn’t come to help, they would have had to go through another round of fierce fighting before entering Building 3.

Looking at their gloomy expressions, Yao Ran didn’t know how to comfort them. After all, the end of the world has not officially begun, and people have not yet gotten rid of the lawful and peaceful environment of the past.

Before they could finish lunch, someone knocked on the metal door on the stairs leading to the twentieth floor. The seven people looked at each other, put down their chopsticks, turned off the stove, and went out to check.

Looking out through the small glass window in the metal door, they saw a large group of people gathering there. At first glance, there are at least twenty people. They were so crowded that they couldn’t even stand in the aisle on the 19th floor.

Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw them. Did these people come to rob after seeing the supplies that Long Yu and the others had just brought back?

They risked their lives to obtain these supplies. These people did not dare to go out to look for supplies, but they set their sights on the 20th floor and wanted to take advantage of them.

These people really have a great idea!

Exhausted, no one wanted to talk to these people except Long Yu, so he went downstairs. Yao Ran thought for a while, returned home, and took out the nail gun from the space. She then walked towards Long Yu with a nail gun in her hand.

Seven pairs of eyes, full of murderous intent, stared at the crowd and stunned everyone present. They were scared but unwilling to leave. Thinking that dozens of people still had the upper hand against seven people, their confidence suddenly increased.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked up with a smile on his face. With two metal doors separating him from Long Yu and Yao Ran, he said, “We mean no harm.”

Looking at the people standing behind him, Yao Ran smiled slightly and said, “Bringing so many people here all at once… I thought you were here to rob us.”

The man chuckled and said, “Miss Yao, you misunderstood us. We came in peace.”

Yao Ran looked at him for a few seconds and asked, “What do you want?”

He smiled and said, “Hello, everyone. My name is Lu Hong, and I am the building manager elected by the neighbors. We would like to discuss forming a team to go out and search for supplies with you.”

He waited for a while, but no one among the seven people on the other side of the metal doors spoke. He smiled awkwardly and explained.

“The government hasn’t sent out a rescue team yet, and it’s very chaotic outside. It’s very dangerous to go out alone to look for supplies. Even if we can get something, we might be robbed on the way back.”

“So, after some discussion, we decided to invite those who are skilled and go out together so we can look out for each other.”

After listening to his explanation, Yao Ran asked, “Do you have a boat?”

“Miss Yao, we are here to discuss this matter with you.” He smiled and continued, “We are neighbors, so we need to take care of each other. In times of crisis, we should rely on each other, right?”

His words sounded nice at first, but eventually, they turned into threats. Yao Ran felt a little annoyed when she looked at Lu Hong’s proud and overconfident expression.

She smiled and asked slowly, “Lu Hong, right?”

Lu Hong nodded, “Yes. Miss Yao, what do you think of our proposal?”

Yao Ran sighed and replied, “After listening for so long, I realized that you are here to borrow our boat.”

Before Lu Hong could speak, Yao Ran added, “I think you are no longer young. Manager Lu, you need to know that when asking for help, you should show the right attitude. What’s going on with your confident and proud attitude? Are you here to borrow a boat from us, or are you here to threaten us?”

Lu Hong had heard rumors about the crazy woman living on the 20th floor. Before coming, he thought these were just rumors and that a young woman in her twenties was not his opponent in negotiations.

Who knew that this Yao Ran would tear off their faces directly without following common sense?

Yao Ran’s words choked Lu Hong, and he could only grit his teeth and smile bitterly. “Miss Yao, you are jesting. We really didn’t come to fight you.”

He still wants to live for a long time. Who dares to fight with these lunatics who kill people without blinking an eye whenever they are upset?

Yao Ran was silent for a moment and said, “Wait a minute. I need to discuss it with my companions.”

She gave Long Yu and the other five people a meaningful look and then walked to the window at the end of the corridor to talk.

Yao Ran looked at the others and asked, “What do you guys think of Lu Hong’s proposal?”

Huang Zhihui hates being threatened the most. She clenched her fists and said, “If they want to rob the motorboat, they have to ask my fist if it agrees!”

Shi Xuan pondered for a moment and asked calmly, “How about we lend them a boat?”
