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

Chapter 229: Donation



The soldier politely said, "Comrade, this is a restricted area. Please leave."

Yao Ran looked at the soldier and noticed he wasn't the same one who had guarded the gate before. She smiled and explained, "Comrade, we are here to see Commander Xu."

The soldier asked, "Miss, do you have an appointment with Commander Xu?"

Yao Ran hadn't made any appointments. She thought for a moment and replied, "I came to donate supplies. Please let Commander Xu know that Yao Ran would like to meet him."

Upon hearing this, the soldier glanced at his comrade, who nodded and left. Shortly after, the soldier returned from the guard post and said, "Commander Xu said to let them in."

The first soldier nodded, then turned to Yao Ran and Long Yu and said, "Comrades, please follow me."

Yao Ran and Long Yu followed the soldier, who led them to a different tent. This tent was several times larger than Xu Qipeng's tent, where he lived, and was guarded by two soldiers. The soldier saluted the guards and said, "They are Commander Xu's guests."

One of the guards returned the salute and nodded. After the soldier left, the guard lifted the door curtain and said, "Comrades, please come in."

Yao Ran and Long Yu thanked him and stepped inside. She was surprised to see that besides Xu Qipeng, there was Wu Lian and over a dozen people there. Some in military uniforms, some in white coats, and others in casual clothing.

Xu Qipeng smiled at Yao Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, you are here."

Yao Ran nodded and asked, "Uncle Xu, did we interrupt something?"

Xu Qipeng waved his hand and pulled a chair beside him. He said, "We just finished our meeting. Come, have a seat."

Seeing that Long Yu was with her, Wu Lian pulled over an extra chair and placed it beside Yao Ran's chair.

After they sat down, Xu Qipeng said, "I heard you wanted to donate supplies to us?" Yao Ran replied, "Yes, Uncle Xu. I heard the hospital is low on medicine, so I decided to donate some medicine and medical equipment."

The people in white coats looked hopeful when they heard her words.

When Yao Ran and Long Yu entered, they immediately noticed their protective suits, which were of much higher quality than the standard ones used in the hospital.

Those who can wear such high-quality protective clothing must come from a wealthy and influential family. If they can get donations from these two guests, they may have a chance of ending cholera and protozoal virus outbreaks once and for all.

Noticing the hope in the doctors' eyes, Xu Qipeng asked, "Xiao Ran, what kind of medical equipment are you planning to donate?"

Yao Ran replied, "I have everything from syringes to operating tables, ultrasound machines, X-ray machines, and other standard hospital supplies."

"Since most of this equipment needs electricity, I will also donate a solar generator. The electricity generated by this solar generator is enough to power an entire hospital."

When she finished speaking, everyone except Long Yu looked surprised. Having seen the massive amount of supplies in Yao Ran's warehouse, Long Yu showed no reaction as she listed the items she planned to donate to the military.

After a moment of silence, Xu Qipeng couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ran, where did you get so much medical equipment?"

"I was planning to open a small hospital before, but the arrival of the natural disaster threw my plans into the gutter. Since I can't use it now, I think it's better to donate it to the hospital." Yao Ran lied without blinking.

Xu Qipeng had heard from his father that Yao Ran was a medical student at Haicheng University, so he believed her words. With how wealthy the Yao family was, it wouldn't be a problem for her to open several hospitals.

After satisfying his curiosity, Xu Qipeng asked, "When can you deliver the equipment?"

Yao Ran thought for a moment and replied, "I can deliver it tonight, but I will need to borrow Uncle Xu's largest military truck."

Xu Qipeng nodded and smiled, "No problem. You can choose the truck, and I will send someone to deliver the key to you."

Before Yao Ran could thank him, Wu Lian offered, "Commander, I will accompany them to get the truck."

Hearing this, Xu Qipeng agreed. "Alright."

Wu Lian stood up and said, "Miss Yao, Captain Long, please come with me."

After the three of them left the military tent, Xu Qipeng looked at the others and said, "Let's continue the meeting."

While Xu Qipeng and the others resumed their meeting, Wu Lian accompanied Long Yu and Yao Ran to the parking lot.

On the way, Wu Lian said, "The capital is demanding we send one hundred tons of food and ten trucks of medicine in two months. If we fail to complete this order, they will send troops

to capture us."

Hearing this, Long Yu glanced at him but said nothing.

After a brief silence, Wu Lian added, "Commander Xu and the others are planning to rebel and establish our own base. Will you join us?"

Long Yu replied, "I will go wherever my girlfriend goes."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wu Lian was speechless after suddenly eating a mouthful of dog food. "....." Walking beside Long Yu, Yao Ran coughed lightly and whispered, "I'm happy with your answer, but don't you see Captain Wu's expression? Please be a bit more modest." Long Yu nodded, and after a moment, he said to Wu Lian, "I'm retired." Listening to his words, Wu Lian was speechless again. "...." Will you die if you talk too much? He looked at Long Yu for a moment and sighed, understanding his meaning. Long Yu wasn't interested in joining the power struggle between the central government and the Juncheng Military Base.

After Long Yu ruthlessly ended the conversation, the three of them walked in silence.

Seeing Long Yu and Yao Ran intertwining their fingers while they chatted in a low voice, Wu Lian felt envious. He suddenly felt lonely and wanted to find a girlfriend.
