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

Chapter 320: Why Not Join Us?



Long Yu looked at Yao Ran and asked, "Ran Ran, what do you think? Do you want to help them?"

Yao Ran pondered for a moment before answering, "Although the news is getting out sooner than I thought, I do plan to let people know that we have a cure for deformation. If all he wants is the cure, it's not impossible to provide it. But I have a few conditions."

Li Tianyu nodded and said, "Miss Yao, I'm listening."

Yao Ran smiled, "First, since I don't know Du Zhaoyi personally, I will charge him for the cure. Second, the cure is difficult to produce, so I will only provide him with a fixed amount each month. Third, if I find out he is using the cure for improper purposes, I will stop supplying it altogether."

After hearing her terms, Li Tianyu nodded, "I will relay your conditions to my commander and inform you of his response."

Since the decision would take time, Long Yu said, "Captain Li, you and your team are welcome to stay here for now."

"Thank you."

With the meeting concluded, Long Yu held Yao Ran's hand and said, "A Xuan will show you around. Enjoy your stay here."

Before he could stand up, Li Tianyu stopped him and said, "Captain Long, please wait a moment."

"Is there something else?" Long Yu asked.

Li Tianyu replied, "It's about the experiments conducted by the base."

Hearing this, Long Yu sat back down and asked, "Have you uncovered anything about that?"

Li Tianyu nodded, "I discovered that the ability users who disappeared never visited the laboratory. They vanished within two hours of arriving at the base."

"Those who went to the laboratory were paid to participate in a few tests and donate a small amount of blood. I heard that after the three leaders of Haicheng Base joined them, the scientists made great progress in research with their support."

Listening to him, Yao Ran pondered for a moment before saying, "Since the base paid for their cooperation and blood, it seems they are only researching abilities and not human experiments. So, those missing ability users might have been kidnapped by someone else." As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Ran and Long Yu suddenly realized something. They exchanged glances and said simultaneously, "The Ark."

Li Tianyu, unfamiliar with the name, asked, "What is The Ark?"

Still uncertain about The Ark's real purpose or the people behind it, aside from Gao Shuwei, Yao Ran answered vaguely, "It's a secret organization involved in human experiments. I don't know much about them, but they may be responsible for the missing ability users."

When Li Tianyu heard this, he frowned deeply and said, "I think I will need to investigate this organization."

Long Yu looked at him and reminded him, "You must be extremely careful when investigating The Ark. Their connections, influence, and power are far greater than you might imagine."

"So far, we have learned that members of The Ark have infiltrated the central government and the military. Some are even heads of influential and wealthy families. If they discover you are investigating them, they won't hesitate to take your life."

He paused briefly and added, "Besides their specialty in research and technology, they also specialize in assassinations."

Hearing this, Li Tianyu's eyes darkened, and he said, "They have already targeted you."

It wasn't a question but a statement.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing Long Yu and the others nod in confirmation, Li Tianyu clenched his fists and said, "If what you are saying is true, then I can't trust any senior officers in the military."

Long Yu nodded again, and silence filled the room.

After a long pause, Yao Ran said, "Captain Li, if you think you can't trust the military anymore, why not join us?"

Her suggestion surprised Li Tianyu and the three soldiers, including Long Yu and Shi Xuan.

Noting their reactions, Yao Ran continued, "Our goal is to uncover The Ark's secret and eliminate them. The Ark is too powerful for us to fight alone. We need capable people like you and your comrades. If you share the same purpose, we will welcome you here."

Listening to what she said, Li Tianyu fell into deep thought.

Understanding it wasn't easy for a soldier to abandon his lifelong mission, Yao Ran added, "Take your time to think about it."

Li Tianyu sighed and nodded, "Alright."

Seeing that they had nothing more to discuss, Long Yu said, "A Xuan, could you show Captain Li and these comrades to their room?"

Shi Xuan nodded, "Sure."

Holding Yao Ran's hand, Long Yu said, "Captain Li, please enjoy your stay."

After Long Yu and Yao Ran left for the dining room, Shi Xuan stood up and said, "Captain Li, Comrades, please follow me. I will show you around."

Shi Xuan led Li Tianyu and the three soldiers on a tour of the air raid shelter, avoiding the warehouses, hydroponic rooms, greenhouses, and water storage areas.

When the tour ended, Shi Xuan said, "I have some tasks to attend to, so I will leave you to settle in."

Li Tianyu smiled, "Thank you."

After Shi Xuan left, one of the soldiers asked, "Captain, what are your plans?"

Li Tianyu thought for a moment and replied, "First, I will contact Commander Du and inform him of Miss Yao's conditions. The rest can wait after we get some rest."

Seeing his troubled expression, the three soldiers exchanged glances and said, "Understood, Captain."

Meanwhile, on their way to the dining room, Yao Ran suddenly said, "A Yu, I think I forgot about the antiques."

Hearing this, Long Yu recalled they had indeed forgotten to retrieve the antiques from the truck. After Yao Ran fainted and the revelation of their abilities, they were too preoccupied with teaching their friends how to practice their abilities and completely forgot about the

antiques.

He turned to her and asked, "Should we get them now?"

Yao Ran agreed, "Yes."

At this time, most people were in the dining room, so the two headed to the parking lot.
