Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies

The man's heart sank when he heard Yao Ran's words. Turning to look at her, he warily asked, "Do you have more questions, Young Lady?"

Yao Ran took out a sack full of potatoes, a box of mineral water, a small pack of sea salt, and a plastic bag containing various medicines from her space. She also took out a few sets of new clothes and several pairs of boots for them.

Pointing at the items on the ground, Yao Ran said, "We had a deal. You answered my questions, so these supplies are yours."

After saying that, she turned to Long Yu and Shi Xuan. "Let's go back. I have something important to tell everyone."

"Alright." Long Yu nodded before lifting her into his arms.

After securing Yao Ran, he activated his wind element ability and then created a wind barrier around the three of them. A second later, he controlled the wind, and they soared into the sky.

Floating mid-air, Shi Xuan placed a hand on Long Yu's shoulder, and the next second, three of them vanished from there.

Below, the man and his friends watched in shock as the trio disappeared from their sight.

One of them rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "Heavens, they can actually fly and disappear without a trace!"

The leader frowned and said, "One of them must have a teleportation ability."

The moment he said this, his friends were stunned before exclaiming in shock.

"No way!"

"Brother, you are not joking, right?!"

Looking at his team, the leader said, "Enough. Stop making a fuss. Hurry up and gather the supplies. We need to reach Nirvana Base before the next mega earthquake strikes."

Reminded of the urgency, the others quickly calmed down and distributed the supplies among themselves.

As they carried the supplies and continued on their way to Nirvana Base, the female team member muttered enviously, "Having a strong ability really lets you live a good life."

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, but no one said anything.

Having a chance to awaken an ability was already a stroke of luck—one they should be grateful for. Wanting more when they were already luckier than ninety percent of the world's population was simply asking for too much.

Two hours later, when Long Yu, Shi Xuan, and Yao Ran landed outside The Origin's headquarters, the sky had already begun changing colors.

After Long Yu put Yao Ran down, the three of them hurried into the building. When the staff and soldiers saw Yao Ran, they beamed with joy and quickly greeted her.

"Eldest Young Lady, you are back."

Yao Ran nodded in acknowledgment and greeted them in return before asking, "Where is Uncle Fu?"

One of the staff members replied, "Commander Fu and the other senior officers are in a meeting. Do you want to see him?"

Yao Ran nodded, and the staff member continued, "They are in meeting room number six on the sixth floor."

"Thank you." After Yao Ran expressed her gratitude, the three of them hurried to the meeting room.

Knocking on the door, Yao Ran waited for a moment before Fu Zongshang's voice came from the other side.

"Come in."

Opening the door, Yao Ran, Long Yu, and Shi Xuan stepped into the room.

Seeing that everyone was present, including Xu Ruihan's team and her own team members, Yao Ran said, "Everyone, I have bad news."

Before Fu Zongshang and the others could react, Yao Yuechuan had already stood up and hugged Yao Ran.

He examined her closely and asked worriedly, "Younger Sister, are you alright? Did that crazy bastard do anything to you?"

Yao Ran patted Yao Yuechuan's hand reassuringly and replied, "Elder Cousin, I'm fine. Gao Shuwei took half of my spatial element ability, but he didn't harm me."

As soon as she said this, Yao Yuechuan's expression darkened. Lowering his voice, he asked, "Did he take our family heirloom?"

Yao Ran nodded. "Mhm. I will tell you the details later."

With so many people in the meeting room, Yao Yuechuan knew that this was not the right time to discuss their family heirloom. "Alright."

Once the siblings, Long Yu, and Shi Xuan took their seats, Fu Zongshang said, "Eldest Young Lady, I'm relieved that you are safe."

Yao Ran smiled. "Thank you, Uncle Fu."

Looking at her, Xu Ruihan asked, "Younger Sister Ran Ran, you said you have bad news. What is it?"

At his question, Yao Ran glanced around the room before saying, "Gao Shuwei took me to the future and showed me the end of this planet. He brought me to the planetary cracks' location and said that this planet will explode because of the planetary cracks."

The second she finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances.

Noticing their calm reactions, Yao Ran asked, "You all knew about this already?"

Mu Xichen nodded and explained, "Younger Sister Ran Ran, you have been missing for almost five months. During that time, countless earthquakes—ranging from small tremors to mega earthquakes—have struck this planet. Some of them caused severe damage to the tectonic plates and claimed many lives."

"The cause of these earthquakes is the planetary cracks growing deeper and wider. We have been monitoring them, and two weeks ago, the scientists released their final statement. This planet will be destroyed in less than two years."

After listening to his explanation, Yao Ran pondered for a moment before saying, "I believe you already have a solution, Elder Brother Xichen."

Mu Xichen nodded. "Yes. Since we received the news, I have been working with Professor Ye and the others to build a spaceship that doubles as a space station. We plan to leave this planet, and live in the space station while searching for a suitable planet as our new home."

Yao Ran was momentarily stunned when she heard Mu Xichen's words. She had expected them to come up with a plan, but she hadn't anticipated that they would choose to abandon the planet entirely.

Seeing her stunned expression, Mu Xichen continued, "We have no choice. If we don't leave before the planet explodes, none of us will survive."
