Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Jade Ruyi

Yuan Rihui's sleepiness vanished instantly when he heard what Long Yu said.

Noticing more vehicles joining the queue, he urged, "Brother Long, let's go! If we don't hurry, we will be stuck waiting until noon to get inside."

Although Long Yu didn't fully understand Yuan Rihui's urgency, he returned to the truck and started the engine. Soon, the off-road vehicle and the truck joined the queue at the side gate, lining up with the other vehicles.

As they slowly moved forward, Yao Ran woke up. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and asked in a hoarse voice, "A Yu, is the gate open?"

Long Yu opened a bottle of water, handed it to her, and replied, "Yes. We are queuing to get inside now."

Yao Ran took a few sips of water to moisten her throat before looking outside.

Seeing that it was still some time before their turn, she took out a few steamed buns and handed some to Long Yu. Since steamed buns didn't have a strong aroma, they were safe to eat outdoors.

After waiting in line for another half hour, it was finally Yuan Rihui's turn. Yao Ran and Long Yu watched as he spoke to a soldier and pointed toward their truck. After a brief exchange with Yuan Rihui, the soldier walked up to them.

Standing beside the driver's door, the soldier asked, "Comrade, are you here to visit or stay?" Long Yu answered calmly, "We are here to visit the market."

Since many small and medium-sized bases surrounded the area, the soldier wasn't suspicious of Long Yu's answer. He nodded and asked, "What is your name?"

"Long Yu," Long Yu replied, then pointed to Yao Ran and added, "This is my girlfriend, Yao Ran."

The soldier wrote down their names before suddenly pausing. Raising his eyes to look at Long Yu, he asked in disbelief, "Are you the ex-captain of the special forces team?"

Before Long Yu could respond, the soldier quickly saluted him and said, "Captain Long, I was one of the soldiers you trained back when you were active. I'm now serving under Captain Li. It's an honor to meet you again."

Long Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "So, you are from the Second Army and under Li Tianyu?"

The soldier answered, "Yes, it's our turn to guard the wall this month."

Leaning in slightly, the soldier lowered his voice and added, "Actually, Captain Li has been waiting for your visit for a few months now. Would you like to see him, Captain Long?"

Since their visit this time was to buy antiques and jade, Long Yu replied, "I will find time to visit him at the barracks after I finish my business here."

The soldier's face brightened at his words and said, "Understood. I will inform Captain Li of your arrival today."

Turning to his comrade, the soldier ordered, "Give them a free pass."
