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

Leaving those words behind, the engineer rushed off, leaving Wu Yehao and Yao Yuechuan standing there, their expressions grim as they watched the crew scramble into action.

Wu Yehao’s eyes flickered as he clenched his hands. "Let’s go," he said a second later, quickening his pace toward the command-control navigation center.

Arriving at the command center, they saw Fu Zongshang busy directing tasks to the crew members.

Looking at the screen displaying the damaged area, Fu Zongshang commanded, "Seal the leakage first and prevent water from flooding the nuclear reactor room."

"Yes, Commander." After accepting the order, a staff member relayed it to the engineers and crew working on the damaged area.

Seeing everyone was busy controlling the situation, Wu Yehao and Yao Yuechuan walked up to Fu Zongshang and saluted him.

"Commander Fu." Wu Yehao greeted him.

Yao Yuechuan then asked, "Uncle, do you need our help?"

Hearing this, Fu Zongshang turned to look at them and replied, "No need. The damage is minor, and the engineers are already handling it."

After he said that, Wu Yehao asked, "Commander, are we heading to the coordinates sent by the Eldest Young Lady?"

Fu Zongshang nodded. "Yes."

Noticing his furrowed brows, Yao Yuechuan asked, "Uncle, is something troubling you?"

Fu Zongshang turned to his assistant and said, "Let them take a look."

"Yes, Commander." The assistant stepped forward and handed a tablet to Wu Yehao.

After reviewing the route on the map, Wu Yehao and Yao Yuechuan frowned at the same time.

Handing the tablet back to the assistant, Wu Yehao asked, "Commander, what are the chances of us reaching that place alive?"

Instead of Fu Zongshang, the assistant answered. "Less than thirty percent. Driving through a high temperature ocean while dodging strong earthquakes and powerful currents is extremely dangerous."

Hearing this, Yao Yuechuan’s frown deepened. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Uncle, let’s take the risk."

Fu Zongshang turned to him and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

Yao Yuechuan nodded and explained, "Based on the data and map I just saw, the real danger isn’t the mutant sea monsters—it’s the high water temperature."

The others nodded in agreement after he said that.

"I’m a fire element ability user, and controlling fire is my specialty," Yao Yuechuan continued.

Wu Yehao looked at him and asked, "You think you can control the water temperature?"

Yao Yuechuan met his gaze and replied, "Alone, no. But we have many fire element ability users. If we work together, I believe we can control the underwater fire and protect the ships."

Wu Yehao considered this and said, "If fire element ability users can control the underwater fire and push the heat away, then water element ability users should also be able to control the temperature around the ships using the same method."

Yao Yuechuan nodded. "Exactly. However, success depends on the ability users’ talent, ability level, and energy reserves."

After listening to their discussion, Fu Zongshang said, "This is a solid plan. We can try it."

He then turned to a staff member and commanded, "Contact the other submarines and inform them to gather the fire and water element ability users."

"Yes, Commander." The staff member quickly relayed the order to the others.

A few minutes later, the staff member reported, "Commander, the fire and water element ability users are ready."

Fu Zongshang then gave the next order. "Go into a defensive formation."

"Yes, Sir." The command was relayed to all submarines, and responses came one after another.

"Roger that."

Slowly, the submarines aligned into a defensive formation. Once the sonar map confirmed all submarines were in position, the staff member reported, "All submarines are in position."

Fu Zongshang then commanded, "Yao Yuechuan will take over command."

The staff member relayed the message through the communication device: "Captain Yao will take over command."

He pressed a few keys on the control panel, then turned to look at Yao Yuecuan and said, "Captain Yao, you may proceed."

Yao Yuechuan nodded, took a seat beside the staff member, and then spoke into the communication device. "Fire element ability users, push the underwater fire 300 meters away from the ships."

Following his command, Fu Zongshang ordered another staff member. "Activate external surveillance cameras and monitor the surroundings."

"Yes, Commander."

Seconds later, the main screen switched to live surveillance footage, showing the situation around the ships.

While Fu Zongshang, Wu Yehao, and the staff monitored the feeds, Yao Yuechuan concentrated his fire element energy, pushing the underwater fire away from their ships.

At the same time, he gave precise commands, teaching both fire and water element ability users how to control their energy more efficiently.

With his guidance, the other fire element ability users significantly increased their effectiveness, finally managing to push the underwater fire away.

Seeing this, Yao Yuechuan commanded, "Water element ability users, lower the water temperature around us."

Immediately, all water element ability users across the fleet channeled their energy into the boiling ocean. They struggled at first but gradually managed to bring down the water temperature.

Two minutes later, a staff member reported, "Water temperature has dropped to 80 degrees Celsius and is steadily decreasing."

Three minutes later, the staff member reported again, "Water temperature is now at 50 degrees Celsius."

As the temperature continued dropping, the warning sirens finally stopped.

At this, another staff member reported, "Commander, the damage to the turbine and engine room from the underwater volcano collapse has been repaired. The leakage in the nuclear reactor room has also been sealed."

Fu Zongshang walked over and checked the screen. Seeing the damage indicators turn from red to green, he finally relaxed slightly.

Turning to Yao Yuechuan, he asked, "Yuechuan, how long can you maintain this barrier?"

Yao Yuechuan thought for a second and replied, "Based on the number of fire and water element ability users in our team, if we rotate shifts to maintain the fire barrier and control the water temperature, we can sustain it until we reach our destination without problem."
