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

Yao Ran nodded, pointed at the map projected on the white screen, and said, "The same destination as Captain Li. The Origin's headquarters."

As soon as she finished speaking, the others exchanged glances before Mu Xichen asked, "Do you want to join that organization?"

Noticing their curious expressions, Yao Ran decided to reveal her connection to The Origin and The Ark.

She took a moment to organize her thoughts before saying, "I believe all of you have heard about another organization called The Ark, right?"

The others nodded in response.

Yao Ran then continued, "The Origin and The Ark were originally one organization—the Yao Security Company, which operated under my family's Yao Group. When I took over the company, I was unaware of the Yao Security Company's existence, leading to a power struggle among its senior officers."

"In the end, they split into two separate organizations: The Ark and The Origin. Those loyal to my grandfather founded The Origin and hoped for me to return and assume leadership, while The Ark has been trying to kill me from the beginning."

"Two days ago, I received the new coordinates for The Origin's headquarters. After careful consideration, I've decided to go there."

She paused briefly before adding, "I won't force any of you to come with me."

"If anyone chooses to stay here, I will provide enough supplies for you to start a new life in Nirvana. But for those who decide to join me, be prepared for a long battle against The Ark. I hope each of you considers this carefully before making your decision."

Just as she finished speaking, Shi Xuan smiled and calmly said, "I believe Captain will go with you, so I will go with you as well."

When he said that, Jia Xiang, Huang Qian, Li Zhen, and the others nodded, saying in unison, "We will go with you too."

Long Yu looked at his comrades and smiled gratefully. "Thank you."

After the soldiers had made their decision, Yao Ran turned to Xu Ruihan and Mu Xichen. "Elder Brother Ruihan, Elder Brother Xichen, what about you guys? Will you join me or stay here?"

The corner of Xu Ruihan's lips curved up slightly, and he replied, "You already know my answer. We will go with you."

Yao Ran smiled back and said, "Great. Since everyone agreed to go, we need to start preparing. Once I secure more military aircraft after completing the mission, we will leave immediately."

After hearing this, Long Yu turned to Chen Zizhen and said, "Brother Chen, please ask the survivors and ability users if they wish to come with us or stay here. If they decide to stay, we will provide them with supplies."

Chen Zizhen nodded. "Alright. Just leave this matter to me."

With their plans finalized, they focused on contacting their members outside and informing everyone about the change. For those they couldn't reach, all they could do was pray they were still alive and received the message.

Time flew by as everyone busied themselves with preparations. Five days later, Hao Ze visited Yao Ran at Tower F once more, this time bringing the information she requested.

When she opened the door, Yao Ran stepped aside and said, "Brother Hao, please come in."

Hao Ze greeted her before entering. When he noticed Long Yu sitting in the living room, he paused momentarily before saying, "I apologize for visiting so early in the morning."

Yao Ran had previously mentioned Hao Ze to Long Yu, so he already knew who he was. Standing up, Long Yu reached out toward Hao Ze and said, "Hello, I'm Ran Ran's fiancé, Long Yu. Please, have a seat."

Surprised to learn that Long Yu was Yao Ran's fiancé, Hao Ze quickly shook his hand and replied, "Hello, Brother Long. I'm Hao Ze, currently working for Miss Yao."

After exchanging greetings, Hao Ze sat down while Yao Ran returned from the kitchen with three cups of tea.

Placing a cup of tea in front of Hao Ze, Yao Ran took a seat beside Long Yu and asked, "You came to visit today—did you find anything?"

Hao Ze nodded. "Over the past few days, I have been asking around and discovered that the owner of this place isn't the Long family but the military gathered from all around the country. However, the final decision-maker is still the Long family."

"I also heard that the Long family is searching for their family members who are scattered across the country. It seems their support for the military is tied to a promise to help the Long family find those relatives."

Hearing this, Yao Ran glanced at Long Yu for a second before asking, "Brother Hao, do you know the names of these family members?"

Hao Ze shook his head and replied, "That is confidential information. There is no way for me to find out."

Yao Ran nodded in understanding. If she wanted to learn more about this, she would have to seek out Ling Yi or Yuan Rihui instead.

Although they had only been in Nirvana for less than ten days, Yuan Rihui and Ling Yi had already established some connections with the high-level officials and aristocratic families here. There should be no problem for the two of them to find the names of the missing relatives of the Long family.

While Yao Ran was making a plan to find Yuan Rihui later, Hao Ze continued, "Miss Yao, you previously asked me to investigate the Long family's influence in Nirvana."

Hearing this, Yao Ran came out of her thoughts and nodded. "Yes. Did you find anything?"

Hao Ze hesitated before responding, "Have you heard of The Ark?"

Yao Ran and Long Yu's expressions changed the moment they heard him mention The Ark.. It was surprising for an ordinary survivor living in the slums to know about that organization.

Yao Ran nodded. "Yes."

After her confirmation, Hao Ze took something out of his pocket and placed it on the low table. "This is what the thug leader who controls the harbor gave me in exchange for two packs of cigarettes."
