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

Chapter 207: Delivery



As Long Yu poured the lake water into the drums, Yao Ran used her water ability to create water, adding it to the plastic drum. Once a drum was full, she closed the lid tightly and moved on to the next.

Soon, all five drums were filled with diluted lake water. Yao Ran transported them back to the warehouse with her mind and brought out five more empty drums.

When her water energy was depleted, she drank lake water to replenish it and continued working. With Long Yu's help, the two of them filled two hundred drums with diluted lake water.

Seeing her forehead damp with sweat, Long Yu closed the last drum and said, "Let's stop for now. You need to rest."

Yao Ran felt a slight headache and nodded. After moving the remaining drums to the warehouse, she took a bath before leaving the space with Long Yu.

The next morning, Yao Ran woke up early and went to find Long Yu. Just as she left her apartment, Long Yu opened his door.

Seeing her, he smiled and said, "Good morning, Ran Ran."

Yao Ran approached him and said, "Good morning. Do you have any plans for today?" Long Yu shook his head, "I don't have any plans. Do you need me for something?"

Yao Ran nodded, "I want to visit Wu Lian and see if he managed to get any antiques."

Knowing that she was eager to upgrade her space, Long Yu looked at her and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Yao Ran paused for a second and replied, "Not yet."

Long Yu pulled her into his house and said, "Let's eat first before we visit Wu Lian."

"Oh." Yao Ran said as she obediently followed him.

Sitting on the carpeted floor in Long Yu's bedroom, Yao Ran watched him prepare breakfast. Given the limited resources, Long Yu could only heat some scallion pancakes and prepare a bowl of vegetable soup for each of them.

When they finished eating, Yao Ran went back to her apartment to get her backpack and weapon. Afterward, they informed their friends they were heading out and then left.

Walking away from the Ling Yuan apartment complex, Yao Ran and Long Yu first went to an abandoned building not far from their community. After finding a suitable place, they hid five drums of diluted lake water before going to find Wu Lian.

An hour later, they arrived at the community used by the military. They walked up to the soldiers guarding the gate and said, "Excuse me, Comrades. Could you please tell Captain Wu Lian that Yao Ran wants to see him?"

The soldiers looked at her and Long Yu, and one of them said, "Please wait here for a moment."

Yao Ran nodded and said, "Thank you."

While the two of them were waiting outside the door, one of the soldiers went to find Wu Lian.

Not long after, he stood at Wu Lian's office door and knocked on it. After waiting for a while and getting no response, he saw a staff member walking by and stopped her.

"Comrade, is Captain Wu not in his office?"

The staff thought for a moment and replied, "I just saw Captain Wu in the canteen. You might find him there."

The soldier thanked her and hurried to the canteen. Before entering, he spotted Wu Lian walking out from the canteen in the distance and quickly walked up to him.

He saluted Wu Lian and said, "Captain Wu, a woman is here to see you."

It was rare for someone to come here to find him. Wu Lian thought about it for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

"Where is she?" He asked.

The soldier replied, "She is waiting at the entrance gate."

Hearing this, Wu Lian said, "Let's go."

When he arrived, he saw Long Yu and Yao Ran waiting outside the entrance gate.

"Captain Long, do you two bring good news?" He asked as he approached them.

Long Yu and Yao Ran turned to see Wu Lian. Long Yu nodded and said, "Yes. Have you prepared the payment?"

"I have managed to secure some items. How much are you able to provide?" Wu Lian asked. Yao Ran replied, "One thousand liters."

Wu Lian looked surprised, then frowned slightly and muttered, "One thousand liters..." Looking at Yao Ran, he asked, "How many antiques do you want in exchange?"

Seeing his troubled expression, Yao Ran smiled. "It depends on the antiques. Some have high value, while others don't hold much."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Relieved by her words, Wu Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know much about antiques, so when he reported to Xu Qipeng, he didn't specify what he wanted, and he only asked for permission to exchange antiques for supplies.

He looked at Yao Ran and said, "We have some antiques prepared. Would you like to take a look?"

Yao Ran nodded. "Yes, please."

Wu Lian smiled and said, "Please follow me."

When they arrived at the military warehouse, the amount of supplies there surprised Yao Ran and Long Yu.

Although they knew resources were scarce, they hadn't expected the military to have so little. Yao Ran didn't know the number of soldiers in Juncheng City, but she knew this amount of supplies wouldn't last long.

Noticing their silence, Wu Lian said, "The antiques are stored in the back room. This way, please."

He led them to a small room at the back of the warehouse. Taking out a key, he unlocked the door and turned on the solar lamp.

After the bright light from the solar lamp illuminated the surroundings, they entered the room. Following Wu Lian, Yao Ran's eyes lit up when she saw the antiques. She walked over to the antiques and began examining them one by one.

Twenty minutes later, Yao Ran put down a vase, turned to Wu Lian, and asked, "Captain Wu, are you interested in exchanging these antiques for food or meat?"

Wu Lian asked, "Does the young lady have a way to obtain food?"
