Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies

Chapter 290: Long Yu Is Back



Stepping aside to avoid Ling Yi and Yuan Rihui's bows, Yao Ran said, "Please, there is no need for that. The one who saved you is A Yu, not me."

Ling Yi smiled gratefully when he heard her words. "Then I will make sure to thank Brother Long when I see him later."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ling Yi and Yuan Rihui, Yao Ran turned to Wu Lian and the soldiers and asked, "Have you all had breakfast?"

The young soldier nodded and answered, "Yes, Sister Yao, we have eaten."

Yesterday, she had stocked up enough food in the kitchen's storage. Since she didn't need to worry about their meals, Yao Ran said, "Good. I will leave you to your conversation. Since I still have work to do, I will take my leave first."

With that, she left the dining room and went to the water storage room to fill the water tanks again. While she was having her breakfast while working, Long Yu and the others finally arrived.

Instead of driving to the main entrance, Long Yu directed them to the back entrance. Unlike the main entrance, which was the size of an ordinary double door, the back entrance had a giant metal door powered by electricity.

Coming out of the SUV, Long Yu turned off the electricity and then opened the back door. As the metal door slowly rose, a spacious parking lot came into view.

Sitting behind the steering wheel, Sima Yun was stunned. Feeling curious, he watched around and then drove into the parking lot once Long Yu signaled him to proceed.

After all the vehicles had driven past the back door, Long Yu lowered the metal door, locked it, and turned the electricity back on.

He walked over to the group and said, "Let's move the supplies to the warehouses. I will show you around later."

Seeing the vast parking lot, which could accommodate more than 100 vehicles, Huang Qian couldn't help but ask, "Captain, are you planning to build an army?"

Long Yu glanced at him and replied calmly, "Not for now."

Huang Qian, Shi Xuan, and Jia Xiang exchanged knowing looks. They understood Long Yu's character. He wouldn't let others step on him or control him and would eventually create his own force.

However, for the others, his answer was shocking.

They all knew the massive amount of resources required to establish a base. In addition to supplies, building a base demanded a lot of manpower to construct and defend it. It was no small feat.

Long Yu, unconcerned with their reactions, began loading the supplies onto a transport trolley. Seeing this, the others quickly joined in to help.

The warehouses were located near the water storage room. As Sima Yun and Shi Xuan pushed a loaded transport trolley toward one of the warehouses, Yao Ran heard the noise and stepped out to take a look.

Spotting the two of them from a distance, Yao Ran's eyes lit up. She hurriedly approached them and helped push the trolley while asking, "Where is A Yu?"

Shi Xuan chuckled when he heard this and replied, "Captain is in the parking lot with the others. They are unloading supplies now."

Yao Ran nodded and asked again, "Are you guys bringing a lot of supplies back?"

Sima Yun nodded, "Yes. We gathered a lot of supplies on the way here mostly planting supplies and building materials."

After unloading the supplies into the warehouse, Yao Ran suggested, "I will organize these. You two can go back to fetch more."

To save time, Shi Xuan and Sima Yun readily agreed. Once they left, Yao Ran stored the supplies in her space. Walking to one of the shelves, she began to take them out and put them directly into the shelves, saving a lot of time and effort.

When Shi Xuan and Sima Yun returned with more supplies, they were shocked to find everything already neatly arranged.

"Yao Ran, your working speed is as incredible as always." Shi Xuan praised as they unloaded the next batch of supplies from the transport trolley.

Hearing this, Yao Ran modestly replied, "I'm just putting things on shelves and categorizing them. Transporting everything from the parking lot is the hard part."

It took them over two hours to finish moving all the supplies into the warehouse.

Wiping sweat from his brow, Shi Xuan said, "With this many supplies, we could stay here for years without needing to go out."

Noticing their tired faces, Yao Ran said, "Come on, I will show you to the dining room so you can grab something to eat."

Both men, famished, eagerly agreed. When they reached the dining room, Long Yu and the others were already eating there. Wu Lian, the soldiers, Ling Yi, and Yuan Rihui were also

present.

Hearing the familiar footsteps approaching, Long Yu looked toward the door. His eyes lit up when he saw his girlfriend. Without wasting any time, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked over, and hugged her tightly.

With his head resting in the crook of her neck, he whispered with a hint of grievance in his voice, "Ran Ran, I missed you so much. Did you miss me when I'm away?"

Ignoring the others' curious and teasing gazes, Yao Ran nodded and hugged him back. She softly whispered, "Mhm. I also missed you. A lot."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Long Yu wanted to kiss her, but he held back. Restraining his feelings, he let her go and asked in a low voice, "Why is Wu Lian here?"

Lowering her voice, Yao Ran explained, "I met him while patrolling the surrounding area. He said they came to kill the mutant rat king. Since you weren't here, I decided to bring them to the shelter and wait for you to come back."

"If we want to stay here long-term, we need to deal with the mutant rat king while it is still in its infant stage. If we don't, and the deformed mutants appear, the mutant rat king will have a way to level up. By then, it will become too powerful for us to handle, and we might have no choice but to abandon this place."
