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

Chapter 150: Conflict



Initially, the man thought he could rob some firewood today and go back early. Who knew these guys were not only tough guys but also knew what they were secretly doing?

The man sneered as his voice turned cold, "Since you already know our secret, you must die today."

This time, it was Yao Ran's turn to laugh. She chuckled and said, "Then try your best to entertain me. I've been at home for too long and need some exercise."

As soon as she said these words, the atmosphere changed, and the air was filled with tension. Just as Yao Ran and her friends were about to take action, someone suddenly shouted from a distance.

"What are you guys doing there?!"

When Yao Ran and others heard this, they turned to look at the shouting man. Sure enough, he was a soldier. Seven people looked at each other and secretly put away their weapons.

While Yao Ran and others remained calm, those people were panicking. Although they could do whatever they wanted in their community, they were still afraid of the soldiers.

The soldier called two more comrades, and the three of them approached Yao Ran and the others.

The soldiers thoughtfully looked at their equipment, clothing, and fire axes and asked, "What's going on here?"

Before Yao Ran had time to answer, the burly man had already said, "Sir, they took away our firewood."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhihui became angry and retorted, "It was you and your people who came to rob us while we were tying the logs."

Hearing what she said, the soldier looked at the half-tied logs for a moment. He then looked at the men and said, "Take out your weapons and show me."

The man wanted to refuse, but when he saw the gun in the soldier's hand, he nodded to his subordinates. Seeing those blunt knives, sickles, hammers, and kitchen knives, the soldier's eyes turned cold.

He said coldly, "How dare you lie to me? Leave now. Otherwise, I will use martial law to punish you."

When the man heard this, he asked, unconvinced, "Sir, how can you believe what they say just because they have women with them?"

This time, the meaning of his words was obvious. He accused the soldier of siding with Huang Zhihui and said that the soldier wanted to get something out of her.

The soldier's eyes darkened, and he pointed his gun at the burly man. "I will give you three seconds to leave, or I will shoot you."

The man knew that speaking politely to the soldiers was useless, so he changed his tactic and angrily said, "I won't leave until you give me an explanation!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The soldiers sneered, pointed at the logs and firewood, and said, "Look carefully at the logs." The man followed the soldier's instructions and checked the logs. Others in the team asked, with a hint of sarcasm in their tone.

"What can you see from them? These logs are just regular logs."

"Do you want to fool us?"

Before the others could say anything more, the man already knew the reason. He glared at the soldier and said to his people, "Let's go."

His subordinates were confused, but they still followed his orders and left.

After they walked away, the man who spotted Yao Ran and her friends looked at his elder brother and asked, "Big Brother, why did you give up so easily? If we can get those equipment and weapons, we can live a comfortable life in this extreme cold weather."

The man looked at his younger brother as if he was an idiot and explained, "Those trees were chopped down with an axe. That's proof that those logs and firewood belong to those people. Do you still want to rob them in front of the soldiers? Are you tired of living?"

When the younger brother heard this, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

At the same time, the three soldiers were helping Yao Ran and her friends tie the logs. When they finally loaded firewood onto the tied-up logs, one of them said, "Comrades, be careful on your way home."

Long Yu nodded, "Thank you for your help."

The soldiers nodded, "This is our duty."

When the soldiers were talking to Long Yu, Yao Ran discovered that they were only wearing thin gloves. Some even had holes, and their exposed fingers were frostbitten. Their lips were chapped, and their eyelashes and eyebrows were frozen.

Seeing that they had frostnip on their fingers, ears, and nose, Yao Ran reached into her backpack and took out a pack of frostbite cream, a dozen lip balms, a few boxes of pain relief pills, and a few winter masks. After putting them into a black plastic bag, she zipped up her backpack.

After giving a few reminders to Long Yu and the others, the soldier said, "Then we will go back first. Comrade, please pay attention to safety."

Before they took a step, Yao Ran quickly called them, "Comrade, please wait a moment."

When they heard her words, the soldiers turned to look at Yao Ran. She walked up to them and handed over the plastic bag to one of them. The soldier looked into the plastic bag and was shocked to see the medicines and masks inside.

"Miss, we cannot accept this. Please keep it for yourself."

The soldier tried to hand the plastic bag back to Yao Ran, but she took a few steps back and stood next to Long Yu.

Yao Ran said, "This is to repay you for your help just now. Please don't refuse. I don't like to owe favors."

Now that she said so, the soldier could only accept the gifts and express his gratitude to her. "Thank you, Miss."

The soldiers thanked her again and walked away carrying plastic bags.

One of them looked at his comrade and asked, "What did she give you? Why do you look so surprised?"

The soldier looked at his comrades and replied in a low voice, "She gave us medicines and winter masks."
