Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Do You Know Them?

Looking at the worried expressions of others, Long Yu calmly explained his plan, "I have considered that. I will scout the area first. If it's safe, I will return, and we can all move together."

After he said that, Shi Xuan frowned, "Captain, it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Yao Ran looked at him and said, "I will go with A Yu. A smaller team makes it easier to sneak in and assess the situation. If the mutant rats have taken over, we can retreat without being detected."

Though it seemed risky for just the two of them to infiltrate an area possibly infested with mutant rats, Yao Ran had her secret spatial ability. If things went wrong, she and Long Yu could hide in her space, but bringing another person would complicate that plan.

After some thought, Shi Xuan agreed, "Alright."

With their plans decided, Huang Qian asked, "Captain, when will you leave?"

Long Yu thought for a moment and replied, "In a few days, when the air is less toxic. We will leave at night since the daytime temperature is still too high."

Now that they had settled on their next steps, everyone began packing supplies. Two days later, after sunset, Yao Ran and Long Yu left Shan Wu Resort in the SUV.

Just as they approached the main entrance of Shan Wu Resort, Yao Ran suddenly said, "A Yu, stop the car."

Long Yu stepped on the brakes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Ran pointed to the small office building near the entrance, "Look at that. I remember there wasn't a water tanker there when we came here."

Long Yu followed her gaze and frowned slightly when he saw the water tanker.

After observing it for a moment, he said, "Judging by the degree of rust, it seems this water tanker arrived after the acid rain."

Yao Ran turned to him and asked, "Should we check it out?"

Long Yu thought for a moment before nodding, "Alright."

He then drove the SUV closer to the small office building. Long Yu parked the car at a distance for safety and to guard against sudden attack.

After stepping out of the car, they drew their guns and cautiously approached the water tanker. Exchanging glances, they silently split up, moving in opposite directions to surround the vehicle.

With guns aimed ahead, they vigilantly moved toward the water tanker. Seeing no one inside, Long Yu signaled with a hand gesture, and Yao Ran nodded.

While Yao Ran stayed outside to guard, Long Yu entered the building. The single-story structure allowed him to survey the interior at a glance.

Inside, Long Yu saw two men leaning motionlessly against the wall. They looked emaciated and filthy. From their chapped lips, sunken cheeks, and yellowed skin, Long Yu could tell they were severely malnourished and probably hadn't eaten anything for a few days.
