Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies Chapter 205: Invitation



With that, Shi Xuan pulled Huang Qian along to join the end of the line. They waited for more than an hour before it was their turn.

The staff looked at Yao Ran and asked, "Young lady, how can I help you?"

Yao Ran replied, "I heard that we can exchange for nutrient solutions here."

The staff nodded, pointed to the blackboard beside her, and said, "This is the list of items you can exchange for. Please take a look."

Yao Ran looked at the blackboard and saw they were also offering cold-resistant tomatoes, cucumbers, and even carrots. She could exchange two kilograms of food for one kilogram of these cold-resistant plants or four kilograms for two hundred milliliters of the nutrient solution.

The prices were high, but Yao Ran had plenty of food in her space. She was curious about the cold-resistant plants and the nutrient solution, so she decided to make an exchange.

Turning to the staff, she said, "Please give one kilogram each of tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. I will also take one bottle of the nutrient solution."

The staff nodded and began to write down her na and ID number while saying, "You will need to hand over ten kilograms of food in exchange."

Yao Ran opened her backpack, took out ten kilograms of cold-resistant potatoes, and placed them on the table. The staff then took the potatoes and handed her a plastic bag containing the cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and the nutrient solution.

After placing them in her backpack, Yao Ran moved to the side to wait for Long Yu and the others. As she waited, soone approached her and asked, "Young lady, do you rember ?"

Yao Ran turned and recognized the soldier she had t previously at the neighborhood committee center.

She nodded and smiled, "Yes. It's a surprise to see you again today."

The soldier smiled, "Yes."

Noticing he seed to have sothing to say, Yao Ran asked, "Do you have sothing to tell ?"

The soldier nodded and replied, "I gave the liquid fertilizer you gave to my supervisor, and they said they'd like to et you. Do you have ti, young lady?"

Yao Ran's eyes flickered when she heard this. She thought about the nutrient solution, and she seed to know what kind of reagents they needed to make the nutrient solution. If her guess was correct, the limited reagents Quan Yuanwei ntioned should be her diluted lake water.

She had planned to provide the military with more diluted lake water to help solve the food shortage in Juncheng City.

But before she could develop a solid plan, this soldier ca to inform her that his supervisor wanted to et her. It was as if soone had handed her a pillow just as she was feeling drowsy.

Yao Ran smiled and said, "I can go with you, but I need to wait for my friends first."

The soldier looked at Long Yu and the others, who were still exchanging items at the tent, and replied, "No problem. I will go and inform my supervisor first."

Yao Ran nodded, "Alright. I will wait for you here."

"Good."

After saying that, the soldier hurried away. Before long, he returned and said, "Young Lady, my supervisor asked to invite you to his office."

Just as he said this, Long Yu and the others returned.

Long Yu looked at Yao Ran and whispered, "What happened?"

Yao Ran told him about her conversation with the soldier and asked, "Do you want to co with ?"

Long Yu nodded, "Yes."

After that, he looked at the soldier and said, "Comrade, please lead the way."

The soldier hesitated briefly before saying, "Please, co this way."

Before leaving with the soldier, Yao Ran told her friends to go back first. Following the soldier, they walked to a community near the trading center.

Unlike the Ling Yuan apartnt complex, in which only a few soldiers patrolled the area, everyone entering and exiting this community appeared to be soldiers or governnt staff.

Yao Ran and Long Yu followed the soldier into an apartnt building. As they climbed the stairs, they encountered many people who looked at them curiously.

While Yao Ran was still observing her surroundings, the soldier stopped in front of an apartnt. She noticed a small sign hanging on the door.

[Captain Wu Lian]

She tried to recall if she'd ever heard of soone nad Wu Lian in her previous life but found she had no recollection of anyone by that na. While she was lost in thought, the soldier knocked on the door.

A second later, a tired, hoarse voice ca from behind the door. "Co in."

The soldier opened the door, stepped in, saluted the man sitting behind the table, and said, "Captain Wu, I have invited the Young Lady and her friend."

Wu Lian looked up from his docunt and saw a woman and a man dressed in Arctic clothing walking in. He put down the docunt and said to the soldier, "Thank you. You may return to

your post."

"Yes, Sir."

After the soldier closed the door, Wu Lian stood up and said, "Please, have a seat."

While Yao Ran and Long Yu sat on the sofa, Wu Lian poured three cups of hot water. Placing the cups in front of them, he smiled and said, "Thank you for accepting my invitation." The room was warm, so Yao Ran and Long Yu took off their masks. When Wu Lian saw Long Yu's face, he was surprised and looked at him and Yao Ran curiously.

Long Yu looked at Wu Lian and said, "Long ti no see, Captain Wu."

Seeing that her boyfriend knew Wu Lian, Yao Ran whispered, "You two know each other?"

Long Yu nodded and replied, "Yes. We both serve at the First Military Camp in Juncheng Military Base."

"Oh..." Yao Ran nodded and looked at Wu Lian curiously.

Wu Lian observed the two of them and sensed from their interactions that they must have a close relationship.
