Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy!-Chapter 214: That bad feeling from earlier was real!

Nanzhi raised an eyebrow. Lan Fuyou? Leading a mission?

She recalled the man sitting in his palanquin and frowned inwardly. What is he thinking? He can hardly walk. Will he bring his palanquin and bearers with him? And what if they abandon him in the middle of a crisis?

However, if his team was participating, then the mission was worth considering.

Lin Weihao, didn't know much about the man behind the palanquin, but from what she had observed, a person like him wouldn't obediently act as Lan Fuyou's lackey without an ulterior motive.

There was barely concealed insubordination in his eyes.

And something else.

His energy field—a deep, murky green, almost black. It was far more aggressive than even Snowball's. They were flickering flames.

Feng Ran and Yu Baoyin hadn't returned empty-handed either. The two were more sociable than the rest, making it easier for them to gather intelligence.

"I heard something interesting about that facility," Yu Baoyin said. "Rumor has it that it's infested with alien beasts."

"Alien beasts?" Nanzhi's eyes lit up like stars.

Yu Baoyin grinned. "That's not all. The beasts are strangely coordinated, attacking in formations. The base has had trouble clearing them out."

Oh?

Her smile deepened. These cuties really knew how to make her happy. A higher-ranked alien beast had to be behind this.

Now that they mentioned it, she vaguely recalled something like this from her past life.

"There's no need to keep searching," she said abruptly. "I think I know where one of them is."

Lu Jian was a mama's boy. And Lu Meiying? She had a son complex. Even in times like this, the two were likely living together.

However, something about Lu Jian's energy field surprised her. It was grayish—a color she had never seen before.

As for Lu Chenyu, Lu Meiying might have an idea of his whereabouts. They were both women who held grudges, unwilling to let go until justice was served.

Once she found Lu Meiying, she could extract a confession and kill two birds with one stone.

Feng Ran wasn't done gossiping.

Nanzhi learned that the base leader had been monopolizing water supplies. He was forcefully "inviting" all water-based awakeners into his residence, and once they entered, they never came out.

The image of Helen Wu being escorted by guards flashed in Nanzhi's mind.

The absurd water prices in the market.

The pieces fell into place.

The fog in her mind cleared.

At the same time, she saw a business opportunity.

After a brief discussion, Bingwen went to register their team for tomorrow's mission.

Lin Weihao returned later, having settled his own matters. His version of "settling matters" turned out to be—paperwork.

When Feng Ran caught sight of the sketches on the paper, his soul nearly left his body.

That bad feeling from earlier was real!

Inside the Longmen Boss Headquarters, by the gazebo overlooking the lake, Helen Wu was practically vibrating with excitement.

She couldn't wait to meet this base leader.

In her mind, she pictured a valiant figure—handsome, strong, like a prince on a white horse who would sweep her off her feet.

The officers had certainly described him that way.

A dual-attribute awakener, no less!

If she could seduce him, she'd have a meal ticket for life. No more facing monsters. No more struggling. She could just live here in luxury!

But then—

"Is that her?" A lazy voice cut through her thoughts.

She turned toward the voice and saw…

A gaudy fatso.

The guards nodded. "Yes, Emperor! She's the new water awakener!"

Lan Fuyou's gaze swept over her half-swollen, bruised face. His expression twisted into a scowl.

"She's ugly!"

Ugly… ugly… ugly…

The word echoed in Helen Wu's mind like a thunderclap.

No one had ever called her ugly in her entire life.

But this pig—this thing in front of her—dared to?

Her temper snapped.

"What the fuck did you just say?!" she shrieked. "Don't put gold on your pig face! You're the ugly one here!"

Lan Fuyou's face turned beet red.

"Throw this audacious woman into the dungeon!" he roared. "Don't let her out until I say so!"

The guards moved swiftly.

Only then did Helen Wu realize—she had made a terrible mistake.

She opened her mouth to apologize, but Lan Fuyou had already turned away. His decision was final.

If her face hadn't been swollen, he might have reconsidered.

But now—

Knowing she was doomed, Helen Wu panicked. She activated her water ability, prepared to fight her way out.

Before she could release a single drop, a shadow flickered behind her.

Pain exploded in the back of her head.

Then—darkness.

The last thing she saw was a blue-eyed man with a scar.
