Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Wu Lian’s Suspicion

Yao Ran raised three fingers and said, "One tank every three days."

Hearing her answer, Yuan Rihui looked disappointed. A tank of water equals 2.000 liters, and it's barely enough to support their people. Moreover, she gives only one tank of water every three days. With this arrangement, there will be no excess water to sell.

After a moment's silence, Yuan Rihui forced a smile and said, "Miss Yao, can you provide a little more? We have many brothers here, and we are almost dying of thirst."

Seeing his pitiful expression, Yao Ran said, "Alright. I will see if I can get you a bit more, but I can't promise anything."

When Yuan Rihui heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "When can you deliver the water?" Yao Ran thought for a moment and replied, "I can deliver it whenever you get the antiques." "Then I will send Xiao Yan to find you later." Yuan Rihui said after thinking for a moment. Yao Ran nodded, took the bottle from the low table, and said, "Then we will leave first." Yuan Rihui saw them out, then returned to his office and began contacting wealthy families to see if he could collect any antiques from them to pay Yao Ran.

While Yuan Rihui was busy, Yao Ran and Long Yu left the trading center.

Seeing Yao Ran deep in thought, Long Yu asked, "Ran Ran, what are you thinking about?"

Yao Ran came out of her thoughts and asked back, "Do you have any idea how we can deliver water to the military camp?"

Long Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked again, "Are you going to donate water to them?"

Yao Ran nodded, "Mhm. The lack of water is too severe. Instead of letting them waste fuel transporting it, we can just give it to them."

As he listened, Long Yu thought for a moment before asking, "It's still early. Do you want to visit Commander Xu?"

Yao Ran was silent for a while, then shook her head. "No. I can't just donate water to them."

"Unlike other supplies, water can't be replenished after natural disasters hit the world. Besides, there is a limit to how much we can stock water. If we donate the water directly, Uncle Xu might become suspicious."

After a moment of silence, Long Yu said, "How about we do it like before? I found a few abandoned places earlier where we can store the water before sending an anonymous letter to Commander Xu."

Yao Ran considered his idea and nodded, "Alright. Let's do as you said."

After deciding, Yao Ran and Long Yu went to the abandoned locations Long Yu had found earlier.

Yao Ran had several water tanks in her storage, so she took out five water tanks that could each hold 10,000 liters of water. Once each tank was filled, all she needed to do was find a secluded spot to place them.

Fifty thousand liters of water wasn't enough for the soldiers' daily drinking needs, but they still had water from outside Juncheng City and nearby wells, so this water should be enough for them.

Additionally, the tanks' water was diluted lake water, which had healing properties and could strengthen the body. As long as the soldiers drank a cup each day, they would be protected from ordinary diseases such as cold or heat stroke.

After placing the water tanks in a hidden corner, Yao Ran wrote a note and handed it to Long Yu. She waited and guarded the water tanks as Long Yu delivered the note to Xu Qipeng.
