Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Decision, Determination

The soldier pointed toward a nearby watchtower and answered Yao Ran's question, "Captain Li is stationed there."

"Good. I'm going to find him. Stay here and focus on killing as many mutant giant birds as possible. Try to take them all out before the mutant desert beetles arrive," she instructed as she ran toward the watchtower.

"Yes, Sister-in-law," the soldier replied, watching her disappear into the watchtower.

When Yao Ran reached the small room at the top of the watchtower, she found Li Zhen sniping mutant giant birds with precision.

Before she could speak, Li Zhen turned to her and asked, "Miss Yao, what brings you here?" "I need your help," Yao Ran replied calmly.

Lowering his sniper rifle, Li Zhen asked, "What do you need?"

Yao Ran stepped closer and stood beside him near the small window. Pointing to the ground below, she asked, "Can you see the mutant desert beetles from here?"

Li Zhen glanced down and nodded. "Yes."

"How far are they from the barricades?" she asked again.

Li Zhen observed for a few seconds before replying, "They are about fifty meters away. At their current pace, they will reach the barricades in approximately one minute and ten seconds."

"Thank you," Yao Ran said before hurrying away.

Watching her run downstairs, Li Zhen paused for a moment, then returned to his task of eliminating the mutant giant birds.

Coming out of the watchtower, Yao Ran hurriedly told the others, "Prepare to ignite the barricades."

With her order, the two fire element ability users and Wu Yehao's subordinates took their positions.

Standing atop the wall, Yao Ran stared down, silently counting the time. When she counted to forty, she raised her hand and shouted, "Light it up now!"

Immediately, four fireballs shot toward the barricades below. As soon as the fireballs hit, the flames erupted fiercely.

Whoosh!

Wu Yehao's subordinate had built the barricades close together, so once one ignited, the fire quickly spread to the others. In no time, a blazing firewall stood between the incoming mutant desert beetles and the wall.

From the wall, Yao Ran watched as the beetles surged toward the flames. Narrowing her eyes, she studied their behavior carefully.

After a moment, she suddenly exclaimed, "Not good! The fire couldn't kill them! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Just as she spoke, Long Yu returned with a group of soldiers. He glanced down at the situation and ordered, "Throw it down!"

Following his command, the soldiers quickly unpacked the bags they had carried, pulling out small glass bottles filled with liquid. One by one, they hurled the bottles over the wall to the mutant desert beetles down there.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the glass shattered on impact, a transparent liquid splashed onto the ground. Within moments, the flames roared higher and intensified.

Sniffing the air, Yao Ran's eyes flickered with realization. She turned to look at Long Yu and asked, "Is that ethanol?"

Long Yu nodded and replied, "Yes."

Looking back down, Yao Ran noticed that some of the mutant desert beetles were now succumbing to the flames. Her eyes brightened at this scene.
