Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies Chapter 543: So, He Wasn’t Lying

After their leader said that, the others acknowledged it in unison. "Got it."

After discussing with his group, the man turned back to Yao Ran and said, "We want food, water, dicine, shoes, and clothes."

Noting the tattered state of their clothes and shoes, Yao Ran replied, "No problem. I can give you those, but answer my questions first."

The man sneered. "No supplies, no answers."

Seeing their hostility and wary expressions, Yao Ran decided to offer a little to ease their wariness. Making up her mind, she took out two kilograms of potatoes, two bottles of mineral water, and a pair of shoes from her space.

The mont the supplies appeared on the ground before her, the group's eyes lit up.

Yao Ran then took a few steps back to distance herself from the items and said, "Consider these a down paynt. Now, will you answer my questions?"

The man motioned for two of his friends to collect the supplies, then asked, "What do you want to know?"

"What is today's date?" Yao Ran asked calmly.

At her question, the group exchanged glances in confusion.

The only woman among them muttered, "Has she been living in seclusion? How could she not know today's date?"

The others shook their heads, and the leader said, "She is very strange. We'd better answer quickly and leave as soon as possible."

Agreeing with him, they stopped whispering, and the man looked at Yao Ran. He then replied, "It's January 16."

Yao Ran frowned at his answer and thought, 'That ans more than four months have passed since Gao Shuwei took to the future. I wonder what happened while I was away.'

With that in mind, she looked at the man again and asked, "What is the current situation?"

The man's frown deepened at her second question, but he still replied, "Currently, more than a dozen bases have been established by the governnt and survivor groups on the new continent. The official base is welcoming survivors and is already producing food and water."

Yao Ran nodded and asked, "What about natural disasters? Has anything happened in the past five months?"

Just as she finished asking, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Rumble~! Rumble~!

As bursts of rumbling sounds ca from all around, the man's expression changed.

"Get down! Cover your head!" he shouted.

Following his command, everyone dropped to the ground and covered their heads with their hands.

Eight ters away from them, Yao Ran swiftly put the electric bike into her space and crouched down. The ground shook violently for several minutes before it finally stopped.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Yao Ran stood up and scanned her surroundings.

A few seconds later, the man also got to his feet. He brushed the dust from his clothes as he said, "As you can see, earthquakes happen frequently."

"Sotis, a massive one strikes and causes serious damage. Fortunately, the new continent has stronger tectonic plates and can withstand these earthquakes. However, the earthquakes are becoming more frequent and increasing in intensity by the day."

As he spoke, an image flashed through Yao Ran's mind. Recalling what Gao Shuwei had told her, her heart sank, and chills ran down her spine.

'So, he wasn't lying. This planet really can't hold on much longer.'

Noticing the change in her expression, the man added, "If you want to survive the earthquakes, I suggest you head to one of the official bases. The most powerful one right now is Nirvana Base."

Hearing this, Yao Ran snapped out of her thoughts and asked, "Isn't Nirvana located in the sea?"

The man looked at her in silence for a mont but couldn't hold back his curiosity.

He stared at Yao Ran and asked, "Young lady, have you been living in seclusion? The old Nirvana Base was taken over by the Air Force from Jiangcheng City and relocated to the new continent."

After saying that, he thought for a mont and added, "My team is heading there. If you want to go there, you can pay us, and we will escort you to Nirvana Base."

Before Yao Ran could respond, she sensed two familiar auras approaching at a fast speed. A second later, soone grabbed her arm from behind and then pulled her into a warm embrace.

Instantly, a familiar scent filled her nose and she felt safe. "A Yu…" she whispered.

Hugging her tightly, Long Yu buried his face in the crook of her neck in silence. "Ran Ran, I finally found you."

Feeling sothing warm dampening her skin, Yao Ran gently patted his back and whispered, "Don't cry. I'm fine."

While they embraced each other, Shi Xuan turned to the group of survivors. Seeing their abilities aiming at Yao Ran, he narrowed his eyes dangerously and sneered, "Courting death."

Sensing the cold, murderous intent from him, the leader hurriedly put away the fireball and anxiously said, "Wait! Wait! We are not her enemies! We were just talking peacefully before you suddenly appeared out of nowhere!"

When Yao Ran heard this, she let go of Long Yu and turned to look at them.

Seeing that Shi Xuan was ready to fight, she quickly said, "Shi Xuan, he is right. I was just asking them a few questions before you two arrived."

After listening to her, Shi Xuan retracted his murderous intent and apologized to the man. He smiled and said, "Ah, I'm sorry if I offended you. I was just worried my friend was in danger."

Looking at Shi Xuan's smiling face and hearing his gentle words, the man couldn't help but swallow in fear. 'These three people are too dangerous. I need to leave imdiately.'

With that in mind, he shook his head and said, "No problem. It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared. Young Lady, since your friends are already here, we will take our leave. Good luck to you all."

As the man and his team began to leave with the items she had given them, Yao Ran called out, "Comrade, please wait for a mont."
