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

Long Yu looked at the potion on the low table and added, "However, we must also find a way to prevent them from joining The Ark. If The Ark successfully recruits them, it will be much harder for us to destroy them in the future."

Yao Ran pondered his words for a moment and then said, "You are right. I will try to contact The Origin and see if they can help us find the answers we need."

"Alright," Long Yu agreed.

After Long Yu said that, Yao Ran took out their breakfast from her space and said, "Let's eat first."

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of The Ark, Gao Shuwei was on his way to the laboratory. When the guards saw him approaching, they saluted and opened the door for him.

Walking into the laboratory, he asked, "How is the progress?"

Upon hearing this, the scientists stopped what they were doing and stood to the side. The chief scientist turned to him and replied, "Everything is progressing as scheduled."

Gao Shuwei stood in front of the main control panel and looked down through the reinforced tempered glass.

As he watched the scientists in protective suits inject various colorful liquids into the experimental subjects below, he asked, "Have you found a way to merge the abilities into the new users?"

The chief scientist shook his head and explained, "The ability injected into a new user dissipates after the energy is used up. We haven't found a way to permanently merge the ability to the new user's body."

Gao Shuwei's expression darkened upon hearing this.

Noticing this, the chief scientist quickly added, "However, we have managed to turn the extracted ability into a potion. We have distributed these potions worldwide to find suitable experimental subjects. Once we find them, it won't be long before we discover how to permanently merge the ability to new users."

After saying this, the chief scientist observed Gao Shuwei's expression but saw nothing except cold indifference in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Gao Shuwei said, "I want results as soon as possible. Inform my assistant if you need anything."

The chief scientist lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Director."

Gao Shuwei then turned around and left with his assistant and bodyguards.

Once the automatic metal door closed behind him, the chief scientist wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and shouted, "What are you standing around for? Didn't you hear that we don't have much time left? Get back to work!"

"Yes, Teacher." Startled by his reprimand, the other scientists scrambled to continue their tasks.

After leaving the laboratory, Gao Shuwei headed to the hospital area. Upon reaching the metal door, he instructed, "Stay outside."

His assistant and bodyguards nodded, remaining outside while Gao Shuwei entered the special ward. Standing by the glass window, he gazed at Yao Zi'ao, who lay unconscious on the bed, connected to countless life support machines.

After a long silence, Gao Shuwei placed his hand on the glass window and slightly traced Yao Zi'ao's pale face on the glass.

He sighed and muttered sadly, "Grandfather, you must hold on. You can't die before my experiment succeeds. You must live to see the new world I promised you."

Gao Shuwei stood there for a long time before finally turning around and leaving.

That afternoon, Yao Ran finished organizing the information she had gathered over the past few days and sent it to the headquarters of The Origin.

Since she couldn't contact Yao Yuechuan or Wu Yehao, she sent a public message instead:

[The Ark has created a potion to awaken abilities. I have sent the information I have gathered so far. Please dispatch agents to investigate this matter.]

After sending the information and message, Yao Ran went to find Chen Zizhen to help him prepare for their departure.

Meanwhile, a staff member hurried to Fu Zongshang's office with the file containing information sent by Yao Ran.

Knock, knock, knock.

Hearing the knock, Fu Zongshang continued working and said without lifting his head, "Come in."

The staff member entered and quickly reported, "Commander Fu, we just received something important from our special agent."

Fu Zongshang looked up upon hearing this. As far as he knew, they only had one special agent—Yao Ran.

His eyes lit up as he said, "Bring it here."

The staff member placed the file on his desk and added, "The special agent also sent a message saying that The Ark has created a potion to awaken abilities and has already distributed it to the public. She requested that we investigate this matter as soon as possible."

As he listened, Fu Zongshang read through the file. His expression darkened as he absorbed the information.

Putting down the file, Fu Zongshang picked up the phone on his desk, dialed a number, and instructed, "Send Peng Yuchi to my office."

"Yes, Commander." His assistant accepted the order and immediately called Peng Yuchi.

After placing the phone back on his desk, Fu Zongshang waited patiently. A few minutes later, there was another knock at the door.

"Come in," Fu Zongshang called out.

The door opened, and a tall, handsome man in a black combat suit walked in.

Peng Yuchi saluted and asked, "Commander Fu, you called for me?"

Fu Zongshang nodded and handed the file to him. "Take a look at this."

Peng Yuchi took the file and read through it. When he finished, he placed the file back on the desk and asked, "Commander, do you want me to investigate this matter?"

Fu Zongshang nodded. "Yes."

Peng Yuchi thought for a moment before asking, "Commander, who found this information?"

"Yao Ran," Fu Zongshang replied calmly.

The moment Peng Yuchi heard Yao Ran's name, he took the file, saluted Fu Zongshang, and said, "Understood. I will begin the investigation immediately."

Fu Zongshang felt relieved, knowing that Peng Yuchi was handling the investigation. He nodded and said, "I'm counting on you."

"Yes, Commander."

Carrying the file, Peng Yuchi left Fu Zongshang's office.
