Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Evacuation (2)

As Yao Ran, Long Yu, and Shi Xuan silently observed the soldiers organizing the survivors and the change in the wind speed, Hua Shengyang lowered his voice and asked, "Is that Yao Ran?"

Mu Xichen nodded. "Mhm."

Glancing at the backseat, Hua Shengyang asked again, "Which one is her boyfriend?"

"The tallest one," Mu Xichen replied calmly.

Noticing Hua Shengyang's lingering gaze on Long Yu, Mu Xichen nudged him with his elbow and whispered, "He is a wind element ability user. If you keep staring at him, you might lose your eyes."

Hua Shengyang turned to his childhood friend and asked, "Have you looked into his background?"

"Mhm," Mu Xichen replied. "He used to be a captain of a special forces unit in the First Army. He retired due to 'injuries'. But according to my investigation, the injuries were just an excuse. In fact, he wasn't actually injured."

Hearing this, Hua Shengyang frowned slightly. He said, "He is very suspicious. Did you find anything else about him?"

Mu Xichen glanced briefly at Long Yu before replying, "Other than basic information, I couldn't find anything. But I did uncover something interesting two days ago."

"What is it?" Hua Shengyang asked, his curiosity piqued.

Lowering his voice further, Mu Xichen whispered, "Someone I know mentioned that in Shoudu City, there is an ancient family that has controlled the capital from the shadows for centuries. Coincidentally, their surname is Long."

Hua Shengyang's eyes widened in shock behind his glasses. After a moment of shock, he whispered, "You don't mean that he—"

Mu Xichen nodded before Hua Shengyang could finish his words.

The two exchanged a meaningful look before Mu Xichen added, "There is no concrete evidence to confirm this yet, so we should observe for now. Once I uncover the truth, we can decide what to do."

Although Hua Shengyang was a scientist and doctor, he was also the heir of the Hua Group. Years of training had instilled in him a habit of avoiding unprepared battles. Given the lack of definitive information, he agreed it was best not to startle the snake for now.

After some thought, Hua Shengyang nodded and asked, "Have you told Ruihan about this?"

Mu Xichen shook his head. "Not yet. I'm not sure what he has been up to lately. I haven't seen him around these past few days."

Sensing Mu Xichen's displeasure, Hua Shengyang said, "Maybe he is busy with work. We can just tell him later when we see him."

Mu Xichen was silent for a moment before replying, "Alright."

As they talked, the soldiers finished organizing the survivors. Because of the poor visibility and strong winds, the drivers had to drive slowly to avoid accidents.

As the vehicle left the villa area, Long Yu whispered, "The wind is getting stronger and stronger."

Hearing this, Yao Ran clenched her hands and thought, 'This journey to the underground shelter will not be easy.'

As the convoy braved the sandstorm, soldiers from the Second Army were busy evacuating people from the slums.
