Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 489 : Going Out

Long Yu, having heard about what happened in the afternoon, replied, "There are a lot of factions here. Besides us, people from other regions and even those from the central government are gathered here. Where countless factions converge, conflicts are bound to arise—either openly or in secret."

Seeing her deep in thought, Long Yu asked, "Are you thinking of leaving this place?"

Yao Ran nodded and explained, "Brother Yuan told us before that most people in the central government are either working for or connected to The Ark."

"Rather than staying here and putting our team members in danger, I think it is better for us to go to the location provided by The Origin. No matter what, I trust them more than I trust the people here."

Long Yu considered her words and agreed, "Alright. I will discuss this matter with Brother Xu and the others."

Hearing this, Yao Ran added, "A Yu, I have accepted two missions from the Mission Hall. I plan to use the rewards to exchange for more military aircraft. It will be faster and safer to move everyone to the new location by air."

Although they had more than enough ships to carry their team members, using the air route was safer than traveling by sea. Considering the ongoing tectonic plate collisions and the tsunamis and earthquakes occurring across the planet, Long Yu nodded in agreement.

He held Yao Ran's hand and reminded her, "Alright. But be careful, and don't let anyone find out about your special space."

"I know."

Just as she said that, Yao Ran suddenly smelled something burning and exclaimed, "Ah! My potato soup!"

With that, she rushed to the kitchen. Seeing this, Long Yu chuckled and headed off to take a shower.

The next morning, Yao Ran woke up to find that Long Yu had already left to meet with Xu Ruihan and the others. After reading the note he left behind, she went to her space to have breakfast, tend to the farmland, and feed the animals.

After spending two hours harvesting mature crops, picking fruits, and butchering some animals, Yao Ran looked at the fully stocked warehouse.

She rubbed her chin and muttered, "There are too many eggs, meat, and vegetables. I should find the right time to submit these and complete the mission."

Once she finished her work inside the space, she took a shower before leaving. Reappearing in her bedroom, Yao Ran remembered the three men who had followed her the day before and decided to investigate.

Carrying her backpack and long sword, Yao Ran left her house. On her way downstairs, she ran into Deng Qiqi, who was carrying a bucket of soil.

Seeing Yao Ran, Deng Qiqi greeted her, "Good morning, Elder Sister Yao Ran."

"Good morning, Qiqi." Glancing at the bucket of soil, Yao Ran asked, "Did you already receive the seeds?"

Deng Qiqi nodded. "Yes. Elder Sister Xiang and Zhihui went with me to get the seeds from the public office yesterday. Today, Elder Sister Xiang and I are planning to prepare the soil and start planting."

Hearing this, Yao Ran smiled and said, "I see. Then you should go ahead and get busy."

Noticing Yao Ran's backpack and long sword, Deng Qiqi asked, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, are you heading somewhere?"

"Yes. I want to check out the market area and see the living conditions of the survivors here. If it's not good, then we should consider moving to another place," Yao Ran explained.

Deng Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise at her words. A second later, she lowered her voice and asked, "There is another place besides Nirvana out there?"

Lowering her voice, Yao Ran whispered, "Yes, but keep it a secret for now. A Yu is going to discuss it with Elder Brother Ruihan and the other senior officers. We will wait for their decision before making any plans."

Realizing the importance of this matter, Deng Qiqi nodded. "Understood."

Yao Ran smiled and said, "I'm heading out now. If A Yu asks about me later, just tell him to contact me through my communication device."

"Alright," Deng Qiqi replied, watching as Yao Ran left.

Leaving Tower F, Yao Ran waited at the bus stop. After a short wait, the bus heading to the central district arrived. Boarding the bus, she noticed that she was the only passenger.

The driver saw her standing there and said, "Miss, please pay the fare."

Raising an eyebrow, Yao Ran asked, "I didn't pay anything yesterday. Why do I need to pay today?"

The driver smiled and asked back, "Are you a new resident, Miss?"

Yao Ran nodded, and the driver explained, "No wonder you didn't know. Yesterday was a free day. Every half month, there is a free day when you can ride the bus without paying."

Understanding this, Yao Ran asked, "How much is the fare?"

The driver pointed to a paper listing the prices placed on the dashboard and said, "You can check the prices there."

Reading the price list, Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly. "I have to pay one kilogram of food to go to the central district? That's quite expensive."

The driver chuckled and explained, "Miss, the bus uses electricity to charge the battery. The fare is used to pay lightning element ability users to recharge the battery later. The cost of having these ability users help with charging is very high."

After hearing his explanation, Yao Ran thought for a moment before asking, "Any type of food will do?"

"Yes."

With his confirmation, Yao Ran took out a kilogram of cold-resistant potatoes from her space and placed them in the basket beside the driver.

Seeing the large cold-resistant potatoes, the driver smiled and said, "Please take a seat, Miss."

After Yao Ran sat down, the driver pressed the accelerator and headed to the central district. By the time the bus stopped at the central district's bus stop, there were only six passengers, including Yao Ran.

Getting off the bus, Yao Ran walked to the trading market.
