Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Building Barricades

Long Yu walked into the small room inside the watchtower and said, "Captain Li, Captain Wu, a large group of mutant desert beetles is approaching."

As his words fell, Li Tianyu and Wu Lian looked at him simultaneously.

"What did you say? A large group of mutant desert beetles is approaching?" Wu Lian asked, disbelief can be heard from his voice.

Long Yu nodded and explained, "About ten minutes ago, we spotted a swarm of mutant desert beetles coming out from the sand. They are now advancing toward the wall. Ran Ran and the others are constructing a firewall to keep them out, but we need a plan to eliminate them before they get too close."

After listening to his explanation, Li Tianyu ruffled his short hair in frustration.

He slammed his fist on the table and cursed, "Damn it! We haven't even finished dealing with the mutant giant birds, and now mutant desert beetles are coming."

He took a deep breath to calm down, frowned, and said, "Our base is near the mountains. Where did these desert beetles even come from? This world is insane! How are we supposed to survive like this?"

Wu Lian frowned when he heard what Li Tianyu said but remained silent.

Seeing their grim expressions, Long Yu said, "These mutant desert beetles were likely brought here by the sandstorm."

He turned to look at Li Tianyu and added, "You can question how crazy this world is later. Right now, let's focus on surviving this first."

Wu Lian nodded in agreement. "Captain Long is right."

Just as they were contemplating how to deal with the approaching threat, Wu Lian's satellite phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he answered the call.

"This is Wu Lian speaking."

A moment later, Xu Qipeng's voice came through. "Captain Wu, what is the situation at your place?"

Wu Lian exchanged glances with Long Yu and Li Tianyu before responding, "We have managed to kill more than half of the mutant giant birds and secure the wall. But Captain Long just brought more bad news. A large swarm of mutant desert beetles is advancing as we speak."

"Miss Yao and the others are setting up a firewall to block the mutant desert beetles, but we need a strategy to exterminate them at once before they reach the wall. If these mutant desert beetles breach the base, the consequences will be catastrophic."

Xu Qipeng fell silent for a moment before asking, "Do you have a plan to deal with these mutant desert beetles?"

"For now, I'm considering using fire to burn them," Wu Lian replied.

Xu Qipeng thought for a moment, then said, "We are out of gasoline, but we still have some ethanol. I will send it to your location. It was highly flammable, so use it carefully."

Wu Lian's eyes lit up at this good news. He then said, "Understood, Commander."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a door opening, followed by another voice, came through the satellite phone.

"Commander! A lot of mutant desert beetles suddenly came out from the soil! They have taken over the entire slum area and are now making their way to underground shelters."

Wu Lian's expression darkened as he overheard the report.

A moment later, Xu Qipeng's urgent voice followed, "Sound the alarm and accelerate the evacuation! Deploy soldiers to protect the survivors immediately! Hurry up!"

"Yes, Commander!"
