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

Chapter 57: Chaos Will Occur



After thinking about it, Lu Hong looked at Yao Ran and said, "If it's damaged, we will compensate you with another one."

Yao Ran smiled slightly and said, "Words are empty. We'd better write it down."

"You-!" Lu Hong was furious, but thinking of his starving family, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine."

It's just a cheap inflatable boat. What's the worst that could happen if they get damaged or not returned?

If these people on the 20th floor dare to cause trouble, he can call the police when the flood recedes. When the time comes, he can just compensate her for another boat and be done with it.

After reaching an agreement, Shi Xuan wrote the contract, which both parties signed and sealed. After getting the inflatable boat, Lu Hong smiled as brightly as the sun, said a lot of nice things, and then left with the others.

Before he could take a step, Yao Ran said, "Manager Lu, you are the one who borrowed the boat. If anything happens, I will go find you."

Lu Hong paused, smiled at her, and perfunctorily said, "Of course."

Yao Ran smiled back at him and sweetly said, "You live in 1307, right? You have a wife, two children, a mother with leg problems, and a father with high blood pressure."

Shocked by Yao Ran's words, Lu Hong turned pale. Frightened, he immediately promised, "Miss Yao, don't worry. We will take good care of your boat."

Yao Ran watched them leave in high spirits and thought, 'With only one ship, how much supplies can they get? If the distribution is uneven, chaos will occur. It would be fun to see them fight each other.'

After dealing with Lu Hong and others, they returned to Yao Ran's apartment and continued their lunch. Before Yao Ran went in, Long Yu stopped her and handed her a plastic bag.

Yao Ran looked at the plastic bag and asked in confusion, "This is..."

"We originally wanted to pay, but the crowd suddenly rioted, and we had no chance to pay. We only spent a few hundred yuan last night." Long Yu explained.

Yao Ran took the plastic bag and nodded, "The order is chaotic now, but I believe the government will get it under control soon. We may still have a chance to spend money later." "Mhm."

After returning the money, the two went in to join the others. After everyone finished eating and cleared the table, they returned to their apartments.

Standing on the balcony, Yao Ran watched Lu Hong and several men rowing an inflatable boat out of the building. Each of them carried a stick as a weapon.

People in other buildings were envious and even wanted to join Lu Hong. When they were ignored, those people wanted to come out to grab the boat but were scared away by the sharp sticks in their hands.

Not long after, Long Yu knocked on her door. He looked at her and asked, "Do you know where we can find liquified gas cylinders?"

Before the typhoon came, Yao Ran had been running around Juncheng City for a month, so she had visited most of the places in Juncheng City.

She tried to think of where she could get the gas, then said, "I know a place where we can get it, but that place is located in a lower area, and people are asked to evacuate before the typhoon comes. There may not be any more gas cylinders left now. Even if there are any left, they must all be submerged under the water now."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The entire community uses pipeline gas, and most residents here do not use gas cylinders. To put it bluntly, even if they find rice, oil, salt, flour, and other raw materials, they can't cook without fire.

There is a lot of gas, coal, firewood, and other fuels in Yao Ran's space. However, if she doesn't go out and find some supplies back, people might become suspicious, and she may expose her space.

She thought for a while and said, "There are several snack stores nearby. I have bought snacks in those stores before, and I noticed that they use liquified gas to cook. How about we go there and try our luck?"

Before Long Yu had time to answer, Shi Xuan and others came out from unit 2001.

"What we need most now is not food, but gas and fuel. How about we give it a try?" Shi Xuan asked while he walked up to them.

Jia Xiang followed from behind and added, "Yes. We must hurry up. Otherwise, when others come to their senses, they will compete with us. By then, it would be hard for us to get even one bottle of gas."

Long Yu and Yao Ran had no objection, and they all agreed to visit those snack stores. Five minutes later, when they gathered in the corridor, Long Yu saw that they were all carrying backpacks and ready to set off.

He looked at his friends and asked, "If we all leave, who will guard our house? What if someone breaks into the 20th floor?"

This is indeed a problem. They are not worried about the front yard being set on fire but worried that the backyard would catch on fire.

They discussed it again and agreed to let one person from each family go out to find supplies.

Since there were five people in unit 2001, Shi Xuan and Huang Qian will go while Jia Xiang, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi will stay and guard the 20th floor. Long Yu will provide the motorboat, while Yao Ran will provide gasoline.

After deciding who goes and who stays, they check their weapons and make sure that everything is in perfect condition.

Huang Zhihui looked at her elder brother and held his hand, "Be careful and come back soon."

Huang Qian patted her head gently and said, "Okay. We will be back as soon as possible. Be good and listen to Jia Xiang."
