Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 456

The frozen tentacle was still stretched out from between the bars, but Yao Ran’s focus shifted to the massive creature trapped inside.

As she tried to get a better look at it, the being inside suddenly whimpered and spoke in a childlike voice, "It hurts… Mommy…"

Yao Ran’s eyes flickered with surprise when she heard what it said. Without hesitation, she took out a solar lamp from her space. As she switched it on, the light illuminated the entire room and the cage.

The moment her eyes fell on the thing inside the black iron cage, what she saw left her completely frozen in place.

"They are crazy. All of them are crazy!" she said angrily as she stared at the thing inside the cage.

Standing beside her, Long Yu also stared at the creature inside the cage in shock.

A few seconds later, the creature seemed to notice the sudden brightness in the room and curiously looked around. Noticing Yao Ran and Long Yu standing in front of its cage, it studied them with wide eyes.

After a brief moment, it asked, "Are you my mommy?"

Hearing this question, Yao Ran calmed down. She shook her head and replied, "I’m not your mommy. Do you remember how you got here?"

The creature thought for a moment before shaking its head and hesitantly answering, "I… don’t remember."

Long Yu observed its thin face, which clearly belonged to a child around five years old, before shifting his gaze to the four giant tentacles attached to its frail body.

Noticing the pity and helplessness in Long Yu’s eyes, the creature tilted its head slightly and asked, "Are you feeling sad for me, Elder Brother?"

Surprised by its sensitivity to his emotions, Long Yu replied, "Yes."

The creature thought for a moment before asking, "Then can you take me out of here? I want to find my mommy. I miss her…"

Long Yu frowned at its request. Before he could answer, Yao Ran spoke. "We can take you out of here, but you need to tell me something first."

"What do you want to know, Elder Sister?" it asked curiously.

Yao Ran hesitated for a second before asking, "Your body… how did it become like this?"

The creature thought for a few seconds before replying, "I only remember being hugged by my mommy before a huge wave swallowed me. When I regained consciousness, I was locked in this cage. Some people in white robes would come from time to time to check on me and hurt me."

"Besides those memories, do you remember anything else?" Yao Ran asked.

It shook its head and began to cry. "I want my mommy…It hurts…"

Seeing that it was telling the truth, Yao Ran softened her tone. "Then why did you attack us just now?"
