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

Chapter 218: Visiting Wu Lian



Yao Ran pointed to the refrigerator and freezer at the end of the corridor and said, "You can take something to refresh yourself while you wait."

Leaving those words, Yao Ran closed the door and went to her bedroom. She packed 100 doses of medicine for the parasitic infection and then took out 100 bottles of homemade

disinfectant.

While she was working, Sima Yun was standing in front of the refrigerator. He was shocked by the variety of drinks, soups, and even ice creams inside the small refrigerator and freezer.

Half an hour later, Yao Ran returned with two large plastic bags.

Seeing her approach him, Sima Yun quickly took the bags from her. He opened them and saw that she had prepared enough medicine and disinfectant for the residents of Building 3.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Yao, I will send the supplies over after I've exchanged these with the residents."

Yao Ran nodded, then noticed an empty bowl on the floor beside the refrigerator. Seeing that Sima Yun had only eaten a bowl of mung bean soup, she said, "Wait a moment."

Without waiting for his reply, she walked to the refrigerator. She then took some drinks and soups, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to Sima Yun.

"Share these with your family and the Quan family."

Sima Yun's eyes reddened slightly as he took the plastic bag. He was silent for a few seconds before saying in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Miss Yao. I will go back now."

After sending him off, Yao Ran returned home to pack more medicine and prepare more disinfectant.

At noon, the floodwater finally dried up, leaving behind dried corpses and garbage scattered throughout the city.

Two hours after the floodwater completely receded, Yao Ran heard the sound of helicopter blades. She hadn't seen the military use helicopters other than the first time they visited the community to deliver the relief supplies.

Curious, Yao Ran walked to the window and opened the thick curtain. The bright sunlight stung her eyes as soon as she opened the curtain, so she put on sunglasses to protect her eyes and then looked up at the sky.

A few minutes later, the helicopter flew past the Ling Yuan apartment complex, repeatedly broadcasting the same message.

"The government provides employment opportunities for those who want to earn supplies. Please visit the trading center for more details."

"Direct exposure to sunlight can cause sunburn or sun poisoning, so please be careful when traveling during the day. We recommend that all citizens go outside after sunset to avoid heatstroke or sunburn."

"The corpses contain parasites that can infect humans through skin contact. Please protect yourself when traveling. If you feel unwell, please go to the hospital or take parasite medication."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As the helicopter flew away, Yao Ran lowered the curtain and continued her work. Since the military had made the announcement, Ling Yi must have done his part of their agreement. That evening, Long Yu knocked on her door. Seeing he was ready, she handed him a large plastic bag and said, "Here's the medicine Ling Yi requested. You can give it to Shi Xuan while I get ready."

Long Yu nodded, took the bag, and went to deliver it to Shi Xuan. When he returned, Yao Ran just locked her door.

She carried her backpack and long sword and said, "Let's go."

After Yao Ran and Long Yu left, Shi Xuan and Huang Qian also went to find Ling Yi while Jia Xiang, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi stayed home to guard the 20th floor.

They left at nine in the evening, but the temperature outside had only dropped by 5 degrees Celsius and still at 67 degrees Celsius. While the temperatures are still high, there is no sunshine and no risk of sunburn or sun poisoning. As long as they drink enough water, they won't get heat stroke.

Along the way, Yao Ran noticed that more people were out at night than she had expected. She observed them for a moment and then looked at her and Long Yu's protective clothing. No matter how she saw it, the two of them stood out from the crowd like sore thumbs.

Sensing her gaze, Long Yu turned to look at her. Through his respiratory mask and the helmet of his protective clothing, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The mask and helmet muffled his voice, but Yao Ran could still hear him clearly because the surroundings were eerily silent. Except for their footsteps and heavy breathing, no other sounds could be heard.

Yao Ran shook her head as an answer and continued walking calmly.

With no moon in the night sky, they had no choice but to use a flashlight to illuminate the road. Looking at the path littered with bloated corpses that were beginning to dry up, garbage, and bugs, Yao Ran frowned slightly.

If the government didn't take care of these corpses and garbage soon, there might be outbreaks of bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and septicemic plague. These plagues, often came from corpses and carcasses and spread by flies, had a high mortality rate.

In the past, even with a lot of medication supplies and a complete healthcare system, the mortality rate was almost one hundred percent. Now, with no medicine or equipment available, the consequences could be catastrophic.

The thought of a plague outbreak in Juncheng City sent shivers down Yao Ran's spine. While she was deep in thought, they arrived at the military compound.

Although the soldiers had cleared corpses and garbage around the community, giant flies, about the size of a thumb, were still buzzing in the air.

Yao Ran looked at the flies, with their big heads and deep metallic green wings, and felt a bad premonition. Holding her hand, Long Yu approached the soldiers guarding the entrance and greeted them.

"Good evening, Comrade."

The soldiers looked at him and recognized him as Wu Lian's acquaintance. One of the soldiers nodded and replied, "Good evening, Comrade. Do you need something?"
