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

Sitting beside Yao Ran, Long Yu silently watched as she gently wiped the blood and grime from Jiaozi's tentacles and body.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Ran Ran, you seem to care about her a lot."

Yao Ran's hands froze briefly before she resumed cleaning Jiaozi's wounds. After a few seconds of silence, she explained, "She reminds me of someone."

Long Yu met her gaze and immediately understood that she was thinking about her past experiences in the secret laboratory. Staring at her, he reached out and then gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

When Yao Ran didn't hear a response from him, she smiled softly and said, "Thank you."

Looking at Long Yu, she added in her heart, 'Thank you for being with me in this life.'

Raising an eyebrow slightly at her sudden gratitude, Long Yu smiled but remained silent.

Recalling that they needed to find some containers, Yao Ran looked at Wu Yehao and said, "Captain Wu, I want to visit the warehouse area nearby. Can we make a stop there?"

Wu Yehao didn't know what she wanted to do in the warehouse area, but since Yao Ran had asked, he would do as she wished.

He nodded. "Yes."

After saying that, Wu Yehao picked up the walkie-talkie from the dashboard and commanded, "Go to the warehouse area."

A second later, the other two drivers behind responded, "Roger that."

While their convoy changed direction and headed toward the warehouse area, the people in the secret laboratory were scrambling to save as much experimental data as possible.

"Teacher! The data has been deleted!" a scientist shouted in a panic as he checked the main server.

The moment his words fell, the old scientist was stunned. "What did you say?" he asked as he staggered from the shock.

Before he could calm down, another scientist rushed in and reported, "Teacher! The experiment reports are also gone!"

Upon hearing this, the old scientist could no longer hold on and fainted on the spot. When the other scientists saw this, they rushed to catch him before he fell to the ground.

"Teacher!"

Just as they manage to catch the old scientist, another explosion occurs upstairs.

Boom!

In the next second, the ceiling began to collapse.

Seeing this, one of the scientists said in panic, "Quick! Get Teacher out of here!"

While the scientists were in chaos, the members of the Black Wolf Division arrived. Seeing the disorder in the laboratory, the captain frowned. "What are you all doing? Follow us!"

The notorious reputation of the Black Wolf Division had spread far and wide amongst the members of The Ark, so when the scientists heard his command, they hurriedly carried the old scientist and followed the Black Wolf Division members.

As they made their way toward the exit, the captain ordered, "Take everything that can still be used."

"Yes, Captain."

With the fire roaring and burning the secret laboratory, the team calmly escorted the scientists out.

Once they had all boarded the armored vehicles, a young scientist hesitantly asked the Black Wolf member sitting beside him, "Sir, where are we going?"

The man glanced at him and coldly replied, "Back to Fengcheng City."

At those words, all the scientists paled. With the secret laboratory in ruins and the experimental data lost, they all knew what awaited them in Fengcheng City.

Clenching his trembling hands, the young scientist lowered his head and thought, 'No, I can't just wait for death.'

Raising his eyes, he glared at the Black Wolf Division members escorting them and thought, 'Since Director Gao didn't take my life seriously, then don't blame me for being heartless.'

Making a decision, the young scientist secretly reached into his pants pocket and touched the small white badge. When his fingertips found the black insignia carved into it, he pressed it.

Beep.

Hearing the faint beeping sound, the young scientist lowered his eyes. Thinking about his future, a slight smirk formed on his lips.

At the same time, in Yucheng City, a staff member of The Origin noticed a distress signal suddenly appearing on the map. Looking at the location, he quickly pressed the communication device and called Fu Zongshang.

A second later, Fu Zongshang's tired voice came through the device. "What's wrong?"@@novelbin@@

"Commander Fu, a distress signal just appeared on the map in Luocheng City," the staff member reported.

Hearing this, Fu Zongshang's exhaustion vanished instantly. Sitting up straight, he asked, "Luocheng City?"

"Yes," the staff confirmed.

Remembering that Wu Yehao and Yao Yuechuan were currently doing missions in Luocheng City, Fu Zongshang's expression darkened. He stood up from his chair and hurried out of his office toward the surveillance center.

On his way, he asked through the communication device, "Is the distress signal moving?"

The staff checked the map and reported, "The distress signal is currently leaving Luocheng City. Based on its direction, whoever sent it is heading toward Fengcheng City."

Fu Zongshang's heart sank at his answer. Clenching his hands, he thought, 'Did those two brats get caught by The Ark?'

With this thought, he quickened his pace. Soon, he arrived at the spacious surveillance center, filled with screens, equipment, and over thirty staff members working at their computers.

Seeing him enter, the staff member responsible for tracking the locations of agents on missions stood up and said, "Commander Fu, you are here."

Fu Zongshang strode toward the main screen and commanded, "Display the map on the main screen."

"Yes, Commander." The staff quickly typed on his keyboard. A few seconds later, the map appeared on the main screen.

Looking at the moving green dot, Fu Zongshang said, "Contact the person who sent the distress signal."

The staff worked swiftly, but after a few seconds, he turned away from the screen and reported, "Commander, the one who sent the signal is not one of our agents on a mission. We can't establish contact."

Fu Zongshang frowned and thought for a moment before turning to his assistant. "Check if any of our agents are missing."

"Yes, Sir."
