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

Chapter 236: Base Construction (1)



Yao Ran came down from the water tanker, put away the five empty water tanks, and replaced them with five tanks filled with diluted lake water.

Turning to look at Long Yu, Yao Ran said, "Long Yu, you can drive the truck back to the villa area. I will wait here to replace the water tanks once Wu Lian comes to collect the water."

Long Yu nodded and said, "Be careful."

After he left, Yao Ran stored the small tanker in her space. She needs to drive it back to the villa area tomorrow night. For now, she hid and waited for Wu Lian's arrival.

After waiting for a while, Yao Ran saw the familiar military truck and three large water tankers approaching in the distance. Wu Lian had arrived right on schedule.

She stayed hidden until the tankers were filled, and they departed before she came out to replace the empty water tanks again. An hour later, Wu Lian returned to collect another batch of water.

the soldiers pumped water from the tanks to fill the water tankers, Long Yu returned and quietly joined Yao Ran.

About half an hour later, Wu Lian gave the order, "Let's head back."

Yao Ran and Long Yu waited until the military truck and the three water tankers had disappeared before they went to the back area. Then, Yao Ran replaced the empty water tanks before leaving with Long Yu.

When she arrived home, Yao Ran was eager to check the changes in her space. She first shared a meal with Long Yu and only entered her space after he returned to his apartment.

Upon appearing inside her space, Yao Ran was astonished by the transformation.

The space had expanded to three times its previous size, and the villa's third floor now had three additional bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom.

The upgrade also added a new floor to the villa. On the fourth floor, there was a swimming pool, a spacious hall, and a rooftop garden.

Yao Ran looked around the fourth floor and realized there were no more stairs. She walked to the rooftop garden and looked down. Standing there, she could see far into the distance.

To her surprise, besides the expansion of the size and the villa's fourth floor, her space now included two mountains and a long river.

The mountain peaks were shrouded in a thin fog, and the river appeared to originate from the middle of the mountaintops. It flowed through the grassland and eventually connected to the lake.

Looking up, Yao Ran noticed that the fog covering the sky had vanished.

In the sky, a bright sun and a full moon hung, each illuminating half of it. She stared in amazement at the unusual scene of daylight on one side and night on the other.

After a moment of astonishment, Yao Ran regained her composure. She fed the animals, tended to her farmland, and then took a shower before leaving her space.

Back in her apartment, Yao Ran began her routine of filling the water tanks and cultivating medicinal herbs.

Over the next ten days, Yao Ran and Long Yu were busy delivering water to both Yuan Rihui and Wu Lian. Since she needed to create at least 152,000 liters of water daily, Yao Ran's water element abilities progressed rapidly.

After delivering the final 2,000 liters of water to Yuan Rihui, Yao Ran and Long Yu went to the abandoned factory area. Upon arrival, they found a note attached to one of the water tanks. Long Yu took the note and read it with Yao Ran.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Thank you for your donation. My commander wants to meet you. If you agree, I will bring you to meet him tonight.]

Long Yu looked at Yao Ran and asked, "Do you want to let them know about this?"

Yao Ran shook her head and replied, "No. Let's replace the water tanks and leave before Wu Lian arrives."

"Alright."

After swapping out the water tanks, Yao Ran wrote a reply, attached it to the water tanks, and quickly hid with Long Yu.

When Wu Lian arrived and found the note, he felt disappointed and said, "Fill up the water tanks. This will be our last trip."

At his words, the soldiers looked surprised.

They had been transporting water from this site to the military camp for nearly a month. Hearing that this might be their final trip disappointed them.

Seeing their expressions, Wu Lian said, "Hurry up and fill the tankers."

Though disappointed, the soldiers were trained to follow orders. As soon as Wu Lian issued the command, they carried it out without hesitation. After emptying the five water tanks, Wu Lian and the soldiers boarded the military truck and returned to the military camp.

After Wu Lian and the soldiers had left, Long Yu and Yao Ran came back to collect the empty water tanks and left in a hurry.

Yao Ran and Long Yu stopped delivering water to the abandoned factory area and stayed home instead. As they endured the extreme heat and continued their training every day, the military worked tirelessly each day to bring water from outside.

Two months after the extreme heat began, the temperature finally stopped rising. It remained at 90 degrees Celsius during the daytime and dropped to 85 degrees Celsius at night, causing nearly all dug wells to dry up.

With more and more wells running dry, many survivors chose to leave the city in search of water sources. Amid their desperate struggle to survive, the military finally announced some

good news.

Two days later, Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun visited Yao Ran and her friends. Deng Qiqi poured water for the two of them and sat down around the low table beside Huang Zhihui.

"The government and military have announced the establishment of bases around the country. Our Juncheng City now has a military base under the Juncheng Military Army." Sima Yun said as he took a sip of water.
