Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 230

The survivors trudged back to the cars, their bodies injured, and faces pale with exhaustion.

The Thorn Team and the other survivor team that had ignored Nanzhi's warning had lost a member or two.

Luo Gang, injured and solemn, cast a dark look in the direction of the Thorn Team Leader.

Nanzhi sat atop one of the vehicles, a flashlight in her hand. Since she had rested during the day, she was on night watch. On another car, Lin Weihao remained silent, observing the scene.

Lan Fuyou's expression was particularly grim. The moment he spotted Nanzhi sitting comfortably on the car, his rage exploded.

He stormed forward, his eyes blazing with fury. "You heartless bastards! You just sat there and listened to us suffer! Do you even have a conscience?!"

His voice carried across the camp, drawing the attention of the other teams. The Thorn Team, equally furious, quickly joined in, shifting the blame.

"That's right! We were fighting for our lives, and you didn't even lift a finger!"

"I've never seen someone so cold-blooded! Are you even human?!"

The more they shouted, the more ridiculous they sounded.

Nanzhi remained unmoved, arms crossed. Her cold gaze swept over them, completely indifferent to their accusations. She cut them off, her voice sharp as a blade. "Don't waste my time. You ignored the warning, led your men to their deaths, and now you want to shift the blame? Pathetic."

Yu Baoyin clicked her tongue. "Weren't you the same people who refused to listen to Sister Nan about not letting those men in? And now you want to blame us for your own mistake? Shameless!"

Dai Yun and Zhao Lin chimed in. "Exactly! Utterly shameless!"

Lan Fuyou gritted his teeth, his fists clenching so tightly they trembled. "If you had helped even a little earlier, we wouldn't have suffered so many casualties!" He had lost almost all of his men—only the driver and Lu Jian remained.

But even if Nanzhi and her team had arrived, Lan Fuyou would still have losses since they were ordered to be near the five strange creatures.

Lan Fuyou was also furious at Zhao Lin's Tema and the Iron Gale Squad, he glared at them before saying, "Since you're siding with her, then you won't get any single spar from me!"

Judging from what they see, it wasn't worth to continue the mission anymore due to Lan Fuyou's attitude. They could already predict that even if they did escort him successfully, he will probably not pay them anymore!

And from what they heard it was just Tier 0 or 1 alien beasts but they never mentioned about alien beasts that could turn humans!

It was better to turn back!

The Thorn Team leader also struggled to stomach the losses. Looking at the other teams, still intact, only fueled his bitterness.

Meanwhile, Lu Jian's gaze landed on Nanzhi. This time, she wasn't wearing a mask, and he finally recognized her.

Lu Nanzhi!

It was her all along! No wonder she seemed familiar!

Because of her, his mother had suffered losses again and again. She was also partly responsible for Lu Chenyu kidnapping him!

If she had just sold the shares willingly earlier, if she hadn't been so stubborn, if she had been more considerate of his mother's offer, none of this would have happened!

He wouldn't have been forced to delay his departure, wouldn't have been kidnapped, poisoned, and used as a bargaining chip!

His mother wouldn't have been forced to give up the chairman's seat and fall under Lu Chenyu's control!

His fingers clenched into fists.

She was living a free and comfortable life while he and his mother suffered. And that? That was something he would never forgive!

His entire thought process could be summed up as:

"My mom stole from you, but it's YOUR fault for not handing it over!"

"Lu Chenyu kidnapped and poisoned me, but somehow that's still YOUR fault!"

"I suffered, so obviously, you should suffer too!"

If Nanzhi could hear his thoughts, she would have just rolled her eyes.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Jian glanced at the blue-eyed man who showed no intention of intervening.

Since she had ruined his life first, he would balance the scales!

He leaned toward Lan Fuyou and whispered, "Boss Lan, these people are challenging your authority. If they won't follow your orders, why not leave them behind? Or better yet, teach them a lesson!"

Lu Jian had never seen Nanzhi use any powers. The only time she showed her abilities was when she wielded her guns. But so what if she was good with guns? Bullets were expensive, and after the heron attack, they were likely running low.

Besides, she couldn't possibly be stronger than Lan Fuyou's right-hand man!

Even at such a distance, Nanzhi heard every word he said.

As expected, an apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Both he and his mother were rotten to the core, unwilling to admit their own faults.

Lan Fuyou, already furious, found the idea appealing. He needed to vent his anger bottling on chest too.

"Dog, teach her a lesson!" he commanded.

A strange force surged through the blue-eyed man's body, causing him to move against his will.
