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

Chapter 61: Supplies Test People’s Heart



It's a pity these people only have rubber boats or kayaks. Even if they try their best, they can't keep up with the motorboats.

When they arrived near the Ling Yuan apartment complex, Yao Ran saw a long dragon boat approaching them. More than twenty people were on board, and she could clearly see their expressions through the night vision binoculars.

"Long Yu, a dragon boat is coming from the right intersection. There are more than twenty people on the boat."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Long Yu heard her words, signaled to Shi Xuan, and then changed direction. After taking a detour, they successfully returned to the Ling Yuan apartment complex.

Long Yu did not slow down but speeded up and skillfully parked the motorboat next to Building 3.

Jia Xiang, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi had been waiting for them at the broken window. With their help, Yao Ran and the others quickly moved all the liquefied gas cylinders into the building.

Some residents heard the noise and opened their doors to check what was going on outside. However, when they saw that they were the residents from the 20th floor, who were more terrifying than the God of Death, no one dared have any evil thoughts.

When they went upstairs, they met an old lady who lived on the 19th floor. The old lady did not block the way but stood on the side.

She smiled and asked politely, "Miss, where did you get these liquefied gas cylinders from?" Yao Ran looked at her and answered, "We salvaged them out from the water."

She had no intention of keeping this matter secret. It is impossible for them to monopolize the city's supplies. Besides, other residents should go out to find supplies instead of continuing to covet the supplies on the 20th floor.

After receiving the answer, the old lady thanked her and hurried home. Yao Ran glanced at the door and saw the old lady returning to apartment 1902.

She remembers a pair of grandparents living in that apartment. That old lady must be the grandma who lives there.

After arriving on the 20th floor, they did not return to their apartment but placed all the liquefied gas cylinders on the floor.

Long Yu looked at them and asked, "How do we divide these?"

Huang Qian and Shi Xuan looked at each other for a moment, and then Shi Xuan said, "Captain, let's divide into three portions. A Qian and I are living together and can be counted as one household."

Long Yu nodded, looked at Yao Ran, and asked, "What do you think?"

Yao Ran shrugged and said, "No problem."

Now that everyone agreed, they divided the liquefied gas cylinders into three portions.

Seeing that there was still one gas cylinder left, Yao Ran looked at Long Yu and said, "The last bottle should be given to Huang Qian and Shi Xuan. They have more people and need to cook more food. They will use more fuel than we do."

Long Yu had no objection, and the last gas cylinder was handed over to Shi Xuan and Huang Qian. With today's harvest, they don't have to worry about running out of gas for the time being.

After returning to the apartment, Yao Ran left the liquefied gas cylinders in the kitchen for the sake of appearance. In case Long Yu and the others come to visit again, they won't be suspicious when they see the gas cylinders in the kitchen.

Since the gas, water, and electricity were cut off, Yao Ran has been cooking with a portable electric stove. By using a power bank to power the electric stove, she can save liquefied gas.

Her space has electricity and sunlight, and all mobile power sources can be quickly charged there.

She had tried it before, and it only took an hour to charge a large solar battery. A single solar battery can last a long time, which really helps her save a lot of fuel.

After everything was arranged, Yao Ran went to the space to take a shower. When she came out, she yawned and decided to take a nap.

At dusk, Lu Hong knocked on the stair door to return the inflatable boat. He looked at Yao Ran and smiled, "Thanks to Miss Yao's generosity, we managed to buy some boats before others took them away."

Yao Ran ignored him and carefully inspected her inflatable boat. Seeing her silence, Lu Hong smiled awkwardly.

He thought for a while and asked, "Miss Yao, I heard that you and your friends salvaged a lot of liquefied gas cylinders today. I want to know where you get them from?"

"In the water." Yao Ran responded casually.

"Which area of water is it in?" Lu Hong asked again.

Yao Ran glanced at him and replied, "Liquefied gas station."

Lu Hong smiled and asked eagerly, "Is there another liquefied gas cylinder left there?"

Yao Ran looked at him and smiled slightly, "How about I give you a bottle?"

Looking at Yao Ran's smile, which didn't reach her cold eyes, Lu Hong felt a chill go down his spine.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Yao, look. I'm just asking. We are all civilized people. If there is any problem or misunderstanding between us, we can discuss and resolve it."

Seeing that Yao Ran didn't answer, he added, "Anyway, thank you for lending us the boat. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to assist you to solve your trouble."

Hearing this, Yao Ran smiled and said, "As long as you don't cause us any trouble, everything will be fine."

Lu Hong knew that he couldn't take advantage of Yao Ran, so he left after a few perfunctory words. After locking the door, Yao Ran moved the inflatable boat back to her apartment and then put it back into the space.

After washing her hands, Yao Ran took out a portion of salt-and-pepper prawns, grilled skewers, a bowl of hot and sour soup, a bowl of rice, and a cup of milk tea to reward herself for today's hard work.
