Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 509: Provide supplies
Yao Ran smiled. "I haven't told anyone this yet, but I actually have some fertilized chicken and duck eggs inside my space. I will submit them for the second mission and request more military aircraft."

Hearing what she said, Shi Xuan's eyes lit up. "That's great! With fertilized eggs, the military should be able to hatch them. In the future, survivors might be able to eat fresh meat again."
Yao Ran nodded and asked, "A Yu, how is the preparation for the journey to The Origin's headquarters?"
"It's almost done, but only the soldiers and our friends will be coming with us. The ability users and the others have decided to stay," Long Yu replied calmly.
It wasn't surprising that the survivors longed for a stable place to live peacefully after experiencing countless natural disasters for almost two years. With the military backing them up here, staying was a wise choice.
With this in mind, Yao Ran sighed and said, "It's good for them to stay. After surviving the disasters, most of them probably long for a peaceful life."
Shi Xuan smiled when he heard this. "I think so too. We can't be sure if The Origin will accept them, and we still have a long battle ahead. Bringing them along wouldn't just slow us down, but it would also put them in danger."
After he had spoken, the three of them fell into silence.
Seeing Yao Ran lost in thought, Long Yu gently patted her back and said, "Don't worry too much. If you want to do something for them, we can provide them with seeds and more supplies so they can sustain themselves here after we leave."
"You are right." Yao Ran then looked at Shi Xuan and asked, "Shi Xuan, do you have the final name list of those staying behind?"
Shi Xuan replied, "Yes. Everyone has registered their names and made their choices. We can leave whenever you are ready."
Yao Ran's eyes flickered when she heard this. She was silent for a moment before saying, "I see. Then I will give you the supplies so you can distribute them to those who chose to stay today."
"Alright." Shi Xuan agreed.
Standing up from the couch, Yao Ran added, "A Yu, please inform the others to pack up. After I collect the mission rewards, we need to leave as soon as possible."
"The Long family will investigate the disappearance of their supplies today. If they find out I submitted the missing supplies to the Mission Hall, they will know that I was the one who looted their warehouse last night."
Understanding the seriousness of the situation, Long Yu said, "Alright. I will take care of everything immediately."
Hearing this, Yao Ran then went to retrieve her backpack and longsword from the bedroom. When she came out, Shi Xuan was already waiting for her.
"Let's go together, Yao Ran," he said.
Yao Ran nodded, then turned to Long Yu. She kissed him on the cheek and said, "I will head straight to the Mission Hall after handing over the supplies to Shi Xuan."
Long Yu kissed her forehead in return and reminded her, "Be careful."
"I know."
After Yao Ran and Shi Xuan had left, Long Yu also went to find Xu Ruihan. They needed to refuel the military aircraft and arrange for final maintenance.
Meanwhile, Yao Ran and Shi Xuan arrived at the living unit that served as their team's warehouse. When they got closer, they saw Mu Xichen and Jia Xiang deep in discussion in front of the warehouse.
"Good morning, Elder Brother Xichen, Sister Jia," Yao Ran greeted as she approached.
Mu Xichen and Jia Xiang turned around when they heard this. Seeing Yao Ran coming with Shi Xuan, Mu Xichen's usually cold expression softened with a faint smile.
He walked up to Yao Ran and asked, "Why are you here so early? Do you need something?"
Yao Ran nodded and replied, "Elder Brother Xichen, I'm here to provide supplies for the members who are staying behind."
Coincidentally, Mu Xichen and Jia Xiang had been discussing this matter.
Jia Xiang smiled and patted Yao Ran on the shoulder, "What a coincidence. Young Master Mu and I were just discussing this matter."
Mu Xichen looked at Yao Ran and said, "Younger Sister Ran Ran, Ruihan and I had already decided to use our own supplies this time. You should keep yours."
Sensing the concern in his usually cold voice, Yao Ran smiled. "Don't worry about me, Elder Brother Xichen. I know what I'm doing."
Seeing her determination, Mu Xichen relented. "Alright, we will do as you say."
Yao Ran's smile brightened when she heard this. "Thank you, Elder Brother Xichen."
With the decision made, Mu Xichen ordered the guards, "Open the warehouse."
"Yes, Boss." The guards accepted the order and unlocked the door.
As Yao Ran filled up the warehouse with supplies, Shi Xuan, Jia Xiang, and Mu Xichen discussed the distribution plan.
When Yao Ran finally came out, she said, "The warehouse is full. Elder Brother Xichen, Sister Jia, if you guys need more supplies, just let me know. I still have to complete my mission today, so I will take my leave."
Mu Xichen nodded. "Alright. Be careful on your way."
"Mhm, I will."
After Yao Ran had left, Mu Xichen turned to Shi Xuan and said, "Brother Shi, I have a question for you."
Shi Xuan raised an eyebrow and curiously said, "Go ahead."
Mu Xichen studied him for a moment before asking, "Do you know who looted the Long family's warehouse last night?"
Hearing this question, Shi Xuan chuckled and replied, "Since you already know the answer, why ask me?"
Mu Xichen's brows furrowed as he thought, 'As expected. It was Younger Sister Ran Ran who looted the Long family's warehouse last night.'
'The Long family is making a lot of noise about catching the culprit this morning. If they find out it was her, they won't let her go. I guess we need to leave this place before they uncover the truth.'
