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

Chapter 330: Oddity



Sensing the teasing in his tone, Yao Ran coughed and gently pushed him away.

"Stop messing around. There are a lot of monsters gathering at the back entrance. I will handle them. When you are done here, come help me."

Long Yu sighed again and answered obediently, "Alright."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After giving him a bottle of lake water, Yao Ran headed to the back entrance to deal with the monsters.

Half an hour later, Long Yu joined her. Together, they fought through the night, clearing out monsters until dawn, when Shi Xuan, Jia Xiang, Huang Qian, and Li Tianyu arrived to take

over.

Yao Ran and her friends, along with Li Tianyu and his teammates, took turns killing the deformed monsters every day. On the tenth day, the fog finally began to dissipate.

From the control room's main screen, Shi Xuan observed the clearer scene of the surveillance cameras and said to Long Yu, "Captain, visibility has increased to fifty meters today."

Hearing the good news, Long Yu responded, "Good. Du Zhaoyi should send his people today since the visibility has improved."

Shi Xuan nodded, "You guessed it right. Captain Li just informed me that Du Zhaoyi called him this morning to say that the team that will come to pick up the medicine has departed from the Juncheng Military Base at sunrise."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ran said, "That is good news. With the medicine, more soldiers might be saved from turning into a monster."

After a moment of thought, she turned to Long Yu and asked, "A Yu, should we visit your brothers in the First Army? I remember your friend Li Zhen, who visited the Ling Yuan Apartment Complex before. I wonder what happened to him and the soldiers we met in the mountains."

At her words, Long Yu and Shi Xuan's expressions changed slightly.

Noticing their gloomy faces and complicated emotions, Yao Ran continued, "A Yu, Shi Xuan, I want to recruit more people. How about asking your comrades if they want to join us?"

When they heard this, Long Yu and Shi Xuan exchanged glances. After a brief silence, Long Yu said, "Ran Ran, it might not be as simple as you think to recruit them."

"Why? Is it because most of them won't leave the military until they retire?" Yao Ran asked curiously.

Shi Xuan shook his head and explained, "Most of us joined the military out of a desire to serve the common people and protect our family and country. With that motivation, unless we are forced to retire or have injured on a mission, we will stay until the end of our service."

"In the current world, I think Li Zhen and the others will remain in the army until they either die on a mission or lose all faith in the military. However, with Commander Xu leading the First Army, it's unlikely they will leave due to disappointment."

Hearing this, Yao Ran felt a little disheartened. She sighed and muttered, "It's not easy to find good seeding and recruit people."

Seeing her sighing in disappointment, Long Yu held her hand and said, "If you want to recruit people, we can offer food, water, or medicine as payment."

"With a good enough offer, there should be many ability users willing to join us. If they join us, they will receive the same treatment as our friends. If they only want to work for us, we can simply pay them for their service or hire them as mercenaries."

Yao Ran considered his suggestion and said, "That's a good idea."

Shi Xuan, seeing their seriousness about recruitment, added, "Since you two want to recruit more people, we should first assess the value of supplies outside. We have been here for months and need to update our information."

"When Li Tianyu returns to the Juncheng Military Base, we should go with him. I will assign A Xiang and A Qian to take over our duties while we are away. With Brother Quan and the others here to support them, there shouldn't be any issues in our absence."

Hearing this, Long Yu and Yao Ran nodded in agreement. "Alright."

After finalizing their plans, Shi Xuan began preparing for their departure, while Yao Ran and Long Yu went to get lunch before heading out to kill more deformed monsters.

While they were busy, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, as everyone took turns having lunch and battling the deformed monsters outside, something happened.

Sensing a surge in the number of deformed monsters near the high-voltage fences, Shi Xuan hurriedly contacted Huang Qian and Jia Xiang via satellite phone.

When the call connected, he said, "A Qian, there is a large group of deformed monsters approaching from the west and gathering near the high-voltage fence. Can you check it out with A Xiang and Captain Li?"

Huang Qian's response came a second later, "No problem."

After hanging up, Huang Qian turned to Jia Xiang and Li Tianyu.

"Sister Xiang, Captain Li, Brother Xuan detected an increasing number of deformed monsters near the high-voltage fence to the west. He asked us to check it out immediately."

Hearing this, Jia Xiang and Li Tianyu responded in unison, "Roger that."

As he continued to battle monsters, Li Tianyu said to the Han Brothers and his teammates, "You all stay here while we investigate."

The Han Brothers nodded, "Alright."

"Yes, Captain," the three soldiers replied simultaneously.

With that, Huang Qian, Jia Xiang, and Li Tianyu headed toward the high-voltage fence in the west area, killing deformed monsters along the way.

As they progressed, Jia Xiang frowned and said, "A Xuan mentioned that as the fog thinned, the number of monsters started decreasing. This is odd-there are far more monsters today than yesterday."

Li Tianyu, remaining alert, said, "Be careful. If something seems strange, it usually means danger is near."

Huang Qian and Jia Xiang nodded in agreement, focusing on eliminating the advancing monsters. Nearing the high-voltage fence, they suddenly heard gunshots.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
