Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Going Out To Collect Firewood (2)

Yao Ran noticed that everyone was walking toward the nearest mountain and knew why Long Yu wanted to change the destination. If they went to the same mountain as those people, it's hard to say whether they could cut down the tree and bring it back safely.

Most of the mountain was buried in snow, and there were not many trees left. With so many people cutting down trees, not everyone could get a share, and if there weren't enough trees to share, fights would occur.

Instead of fighting with those people, they can just go a little further and collect firewood peacefully.

After thinking about it, Yao Ran took out a map of Juncheng City from her backpack, showed it to the others, and pointed to a mountain twenty kilometers away.

"Let's go to this mountain."

This mountain is the highest one around Juncheng City, but it is too far to walk. Therefore, Yao Ran guessed that not many people would go there.

Long Yu and others studied the map for a moment and agreed.

It took a long time to walk to the mountain. Yao Ran opened her backpack again and took out seven pairs of snowshoes from the space, using the backpack as a cover. She handed out snowshoes to the others, then took off her crampons and put on her snowshoes.

After leaving the suburbs, the view becomes wider. As far as the eye can see, the ground is covered with snow. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Fortunately, when Yao Ran purchased the Arctic equipment, the seller also included sunglasses to prevent snow blindness. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to see after walking in this snow for a while.

Wearing snowshoes, they can walk faster, and they reach the mountain in four hours.

When they arrived, they saw groups of men and women armed with hoes, sickles, fire axes, hammers, and even kitchen knives cutting down trees and branches. Two men with murderous looks stood on the side guarding the wood collected by others, preventing anyone from getting close.

Yao Ran and her friends ignored those people and climbed up the mountain to find a secluded place.

After climbing for ten minutes, they found a deserted place and began chopping down trees with fire axes. The trees were frozen, and it took a lot of effort to cut them down.

Long Yu, Huang Qian, Shi Xuan, and Jia Xiang were responsible for cutting down trees. At the same time, Yao Ran, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi were responsible for cutting the trees into small pieces.

They worked together for two hours and collected enough firewood to last several days. Seeing that they had collected enough for today, Long Yu and Huang Qian tied the firewood tightly with ropes.

Looking at the big bundle of firewood, Yao Ran thought for a while and said, "Let's cut down five more trees and tie them up. We can put the firewood on top of the logs and use it to transport the firewood."

It's easier to drag logs over the snow than to walk while carrying heavy firewood on their back.
