Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203: First Harvest

Holding the note, Wu Lian gathered his team and set out to inspect the abandoned building. Though skeptical, he had to check the truth behind this information before drawing any conclusions. If the Crouching Tiger Gang really hides supplies there, then the soldiers will have food to eat tonight.

Leaving the military base, Wu Lian led twenty soldiers and drove two military trucks to visit the abandoned building. Before going inside, they checked the surroundings to make sure it wasn't a trap.

When they didn't find anyone around, Wu Lian said, "Four people stay here and guard the trucks. The others will follow me."

"Yes, Sir." The soldiers accepted the order and quickly followed him.

They raised their guns and went inside cautiously. After inspecting the building, Wu Lian lowered his gun and frowned because they hadn't found the supplies.

Noticing his disappointment, one of the soldiers asked, "Captain, could this be just a prank?" Wu Lian didn't answer, but his clenched hands gave away his frustration. With limited fuel, it hadn't been easy to get permission to use the vehicles. If this turned out to be a prank, he might face punishment later.

Rubbing his tired brow, Wu Lian sighed and said, "Let's go back."

Before he could take a step, a soldier shouted from upstairs, "Captain, I found it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Wu Lian and the others rushed upstairs. Seeing the soldier approach with a bright smile, Wu Lian asked, "Did you find the supplies? Where is it?"

The soldier nodded, "The supplies were hidden under an oilcloth on the top floor. A wall blocks the room it is in and cannot be seen from the outside. If I hadn't gone around to check, I might have missed it."

Listening to his explanation, Wu Lian patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "Well done."

After that, he and other soldiers followed that soldier upstairs. The moment he saw the supplies piled up to the ceiling, Wu Lian's eyes flickered with surprise.

He quickly opened a bag of rice and found white, plump grains inside. Putting the rice back into the bag, he turned to the large wooden boxes. Opening one, he was shocked to see it was filled with varieties of corn.

With his heart pounding, he opened more boxes. He found sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, beans, meat, and vegetables, and his excitement was hard to describe. Although the food was frozen, it looked fresh and in good condition.

Before he could calm down, the soldiers had already checked the other boxes and bags.

Seeing the clothes, quilts, boots, medicines, Chinese medicinal herbs, and other daily supplies, one soldier exclaimed excitedly, "Captain, there's medicine and clothes here!" Wu Lian immediately looked over and saw the frostbite cream in the soldier's hand. He couldn't believe his eyes and hurriedly took the medicine. After checking the production date, he confirmed it was still usable.

Holding the frostbite cream, Wu Lian said, "Move everything. We need to transport it back before it freezes."

While the other soldiers moved the supplies, another soldier opened the metal boxes and saw weapons and ammunition.
