Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 540

After a moment of contemplation, Yao Ran said, "Alright. I will give you the Lingyuan Jade Pendant, but you must keep your word. Send me back to the present, and you are not allowed to harm any of my team members, friends, and family members."

Gao Shuwei frowned slightly at her words. He pondered for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Fine. You have my word."

Having successfully made Yao Ran agree, Gao Shuwei smiled and said, "Then let's begin the extraction procedure."

Left with no choice, Yao Ran walked up to the surgery table and lay down. Moments later, Gao Shuwei approached her with a syringe.

He looked at her and gently said, "Go to sleep. When you wake up, everything will be done."

"Shut up and do it," Yao Ran said coldly before closing her eyes.

Looking at her indifferent expression, Gao Shuwei could only sigh in his heart and injected the anesthetic into Yao Ran's body.

Meanwhile, Long Yu was searching frantically for her in The Ark's headquarters building.

"Ran Ran! Where are you?"

He called out her name repeatedly while scouring the entire building, but he couldn't even sense her aura.

Clenching his fists tightly, Long Yu thought, 'Could she still be in the future? How do I get her back?'

Just as panic almost caused him to go crazy, his watch vibrated. Seeing an incoming call from Shi Xuan, he immediately answered it.

The moment the call connected, Shi Xuan's urgent voice came through. "Captain, where are you guys? The bombing squad will arrive in fifteen minutes! You need to evacuate the city now!"

Hearing this, Long Yu sprinted toward the rooftop while saying, "Gao Shuwei kidnapped Yao Ran."

Shi Xuan was stunned for a moment before his surprised voice came through. "What?! Where are they now? I will teleport to her location and bring her back."

"You can't." Long Yu gritted his teeth. "Gao Shuwei has a time-control ability. He took Ran Ran to the future. Until we find a way to reach her, there is nothing we can do."

After Shi Xuan heard that, he fell into silence. A moment later, he asked, "Captain, what is your plan now?"

Pushing open the door to the rooftop, Long Yu quickly activated his wind element ability and soared into the sky.

As he flew across the city, he replied, "Based on my short conversation with Gao Shuwei, he didn't seem to have any malicious intent toward Ran Ran. For now, she should be fine."

Sensing the anxiety in his voice, Shi Xuan reassured him, "Don't worry, Captain. With the help of The Origin, I believe we can save Yao Ran from Gao Shuwei."

Long Yu took a deep breath to calm himself and muttered, "I hope so."

Just as he said that, a notification sounded from his watch. Long Yu opened the message and saw that it was an emergency warning issued by The Origin's headquarters.

[Attention all personnel! We have detected a sudden expansion in the planetary crack. Mega earthquakes and extreme surface temperature increases are expected worldwide. All personnel must return to headquarters immediately.]

A few seconds later, Shi Xuan's worried voice came through. "Captain, did you receive the emergency warning from headquarters?"

"Yes," Long Yu replied as he closed the message.
