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

Chapter 45: Goodbye



Yao Ran frowned slightly and said, "I estimated that the government can only use high-rise office buildings and hotels as rescue centers."

"There are too few places that can be used as rescue centers in the current situation, and there are so many people who need to be transferred and rescued. Food, drink, and hygiene will become a big problem there."

Looking out of the corridor window, she added, "The typhoon has stopped, but the rain has not stopped yet. As long as the rain doesn't stop, the water levels will get higher by seconds, and the floods may continue for months."

"More and more buildings will be submerged in water, and people will lose their place to stay. As time goes on, the rescue center will only become more crowded. At that time, people will begin to kill each other for a little living space and food."

Yao Ran lowered her eyes and recalled what happened in her previous life. Because Lan Guanghui didn't care about her, she had no choice but to go to the rescue center. However, life there is very difficult.

Thousands of people were crammed into one place. In addition to eating, defecating, and sleeping, there was not even a place to stand. With no proper place to dispose of garbage and human excrement, the smell was unbearable.

In no time, chaos broke out. Fights, robberies, thefts, and brawls occur everywhere.

The government had to provide disaster relief and send people out to find supplies and have no time to deal with these criminals. In the end, when they can't find anything, the government even salvages food and supplies from underwater.

However, the food had been soaked for too long, and most of it had spoiled. It would be great if they could feed the people until they were 30% full. Most of the time, police officers, firefighters, medical staff, and survivors starve for days before they can get a little bit of food. There was a shortage of manpower everywhere, and the situation was out of control until the army took over. From then on, the law of the jungle would slowly rule the world, and only those with strength and supplies could live decent lives.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Seeing that Yao Ran suddenly stopped talking, Long Yu said, "Since you don't want to go, let's take turns guarding the stair doors."

Yao Ran woke up from her memory and nodded, "Mhm, all right."

Seeing that it was still early, Long Yu said, "You stay on guard first. I will take on the night shift."

Before Yao Ran could say anything, he turned around and went home. Looking at the closed door of unit 2002, Yao Ran felt complicated. For two lifetimes, the only people who cared about her were her adoptive grandparents and her grandfather.

Being taken care of by a stranger made Yao Ran feel strange and awkward. She scratched her head in a loss and muttered, "Should I give him some vegetables?"

Now that she had decided, she went home to the balcony and planting rooms to pick some vegetables and mushrooms for Long Yu.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on her door. Yao Ran walked over, opened it, and saw Zhou Ruilin carrying a backpack and holding Chi Shu in her arms.

Yao Ran looked at Zhou Ruilin and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Zhou Ruilin nodded, "Yes. One of my husband's teammates is a member of the rescue teams coming here today. He said that my husband was fine, but their captain didn't agree to let him come back. So, my husband's teammate will take us to their headquarters. I can meet my husband there."

Yao Ran heard this and said, "That's good. Be careful on the road and be careful of people's hearts."

Zhou Ruilin was very grateful for her reminder. She took out the keys to the stair doors and her home and said, "I will give these keys back to you."

Yao Ran looked at the key of unit 2001 and raised her eyebrows. "Why did you give me the key to your apartment?"

Zhou Ruilin smiled, "I have observed the situation these days and know that these natural disasters will not end early. We may not be able to come back in the near future. Rather than letting the house be abandoned, it is better to give it to you. You can use it as you like."

Yao Ran took the keys and said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen and took out five kilograms of potatoes, a half kilogram of dried vegetables, and a few bottles of vitamins for children from her space. Yao Ran put them into a black plastic bag and handed them to Zhou Ruilin.

"Take this with you."

Zhou Ruilin saw the contents inside the plastic bag and wanted to refuse. However, when she saw her son's thin body and sickly appearance, she clenched the plastic bag tightly and bowed to Yao Ran.

"Thank you, Miss Yao. I hope we can meet again one day."

Yao Ran looked at her and smiled, "Goodbye, Sister Zhou."

After Zhou Ruilin left, Yao Ran closed the door and went to get the vegetables and mushrooms for Long Yu. Carrying a big black plastic bag, she left home and knocked on the door of 2002.

Not long after, Long Yu opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Ran handed over the black plastic bag and said, "This is for you."

Before Long Yu had time to check what she gave him, Yao Ran had already turned around and gone back home.

Long Yu was puzzled that she had suddenly given him something. He opened the black plastic bag and was surprised to find that it was filled with fresh vegetables and mushrooms.

He raised his eyes and looked at the metal door of unit 2003 for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

Back at her home, Yao Ran sat on the balcony and looked at the rain outside while training her wood element ability. The rain fell harder and harder, and the sky turned ominous dark.
