Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325: The Rumor Is True

Xue Wenjie looked at everyone there and said, "In collaboration with Professor Ye, we are also working on a machine to measure ability levels of the ability users. It should be ready within a few months."

Finally receiving some good news, Xu Qipeng's expression relaxed slightly. He nodded and said, "Well done. Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Now that they had discussed what they knew about the fog, it was time to figure out how to keep the survivors alive. Xu Qipeng and the others spent hours discussing this problem before deciding to make an announcement.

In the afternoon, the survivor living in the Juncheng Military Base finally heard the official

news.

Sitting inside his tent, Chen Zizhen stared at the woman's body, which had begun to rot. Judging by the speed of decomposition, it seemed to be caused by the fog rather than the weather.

The foul stench of decay jolted Chen Zizhen back to his senses. After a moment of thought, he found a large plastic bag he had saved for emergencies and used it to wrap the corpse.

Once the bag was tied tightly, he dragged it out and placed it in the garbage pile. The base collects trash daily, so the plastic bag will likely be removed soon.

Although he felt bad leaving this woman's body here, he had no way to bury her. Instead of letting it rot and cause a plague, it's better to let the base burn it.

Chen Zizhen stared at the plastic bag for a while before turning and heading back to his tent. Fortunately, the garbage dump wasn't far away from his tent. Having lived in this area for months, he could navigate home with his eyes closed. Walking the two-hundred-meter street with limited visibility was no challenge for him.

By the time he returned to his tent, he heard voices but couldn't see more than two meters ahead. Curious, he followed the sound and found a group of survivors gathered around the notice board.

Joining the crowd, he turned to a middle-aged man nearby and asked, "Uncle, is the base finally making an announcement?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him, noting how Chen Zizhen had wrapped a scarf around his nose and mouth.

"The base just announced that we shouldn't go out in the fog," he replied. "Since you are already covering your face, you must know the fog can cause lung disease."

Chen Zizhen nodded, "I see."

The middle-aged man looked at him and reminded him, "Then you should stay at home. I just saw three people coughing to death. Other survivors all said these three people had lung disease because of the fog. No one dared to touch the bodies, so it was left on the roadside."

He sighed and worriedly added in a low voice, "If the officials don't take action, a plague may occur. Young man, you'd better save more supplies, just in case."

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Chen Zizhen said, "I understand. Thank you, uncle, for reminding me."

After expressing his thanks, Chen Zizhen stepped closer to the notice board to read the announcement. Relief washed over him when he saw that the base would distribute food and water daily until the fog disappeared.
