Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 497

Hao Ze could hardly believe his eyes as he looked at the supplies piled in the corner. Setting his chopsticks down, he looked at Yao Ran solemnly. "Understood. I will follow your instructions."

Seeing that her business was done here, Yao Ran stood up. "Brother Hao, feel free to use the supplies as needed while gathering information. I have other matters to attend to, so I will be leaving now."

Hao Ze quickly stood up when he saw her leaving. "Miss Yao, please allow me to escort you back."

Yao Ran waved her hand, stored one of the bicycles in her space, and declined his offer. "No need. I can return on my own. You should stay and take care of your son and wife."

With that, she mounted her bicycle and pedaled away.

Watching her silhouette disappear in the distance, Hao Ze clenched his fists and made a decision. 'This is a chance from Heaven. I must seize this opportunity and do my best.'

Making up his mind, Hao Ze turned to look at his wife and son and sat down.

Sitting beside his wife, he reached out to wipe the dirt off her face and gently said, "Wife, I'm going out for a while. Can you stay here obediently and look after our son?"

Hearing this, his wife raised her blank eyes to stare at him for a moment before giving him a slight smile and nodding.

Hao Ze's eyes reddened at this sight, and he smiled sadly. Clenching his hands tightly, he thought, 'If not for the death of our daughter, you wouldn't be like this. It's all my fault for failing to protect all of you.'

Taking a deep breath, he quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food to fill his empty stomach and said, "Be careful and wait for me to come back."

His wife grabbed his hand and looked at him with fear clear in her eyes. But after a few seconds, she let go and nodded obediently.

After cleaning up the trash and covering the supplies with dirty rags, Hao Ze left to find the thug leader controlling the harbor with a pack of cigarettes.

Meanwhile, far inland, Li Tianyu read the first message sent by Long Yu since their teams separated.

Seeing that the laptop's battery was running low, he hurriedly jotted down the coordinates of the new gathering point. Afterward, he turned off the laptop and handed it back to one of the staff members.

Looking at the team captains crowded inside the bus, Li Tianyu said, "Brothers, Captain Long just sent us the new coordinates for the gathering point."

"The previous location is a national base controlled by the central government, so it's not suitable for us to go there. Besides, it's in the middle of the sea, and we don't have ships. Our only option is to head to this new gathering point."

After he said that, the other captains fell into silence.

A moment later, one of them spoke up, "Captain Li, I don't think we have enough gasoline or supplies to reach the new gathering point."

Seeing the gloomy faces around him, another staff member added, "Captain Li, if we want to reach the gathering point, we'd have to travel on foot. But if we do that, our food supply won't last until we reach the destination." _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
