Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies Chapter 90: Skyrocketing Prices



However, before the middle-aged woman could grab Yao Ran's hand, Yao Ran took a step aside and avoided her hand.

"Aiyo!"

The middle-aged woman fell heavily to the ground and hit the wall.

"Mom!"

The daughter was shocked when she saw this and quickly went over to help her mother up. She checked her mother's condition and asked worriedly, "Are you alright, Mom?"

Seeing the bruises on her mother's head, the young woman glared at Yao Ran and asked angrily, "What are you doing? How can you hurt people like this?"

As soon as these words ca out, Huang Qian couldn't bear it anymore. He looked at the young woman and cursed, "Damn it! Are you blind? Didn't you see that it was your mother who rushed towards Yao Ran and almost hurt her?"

The woman was startled by Huang Qian's fierce looks.

Before she could speak, Huang Qian turned to look at the other people kneeling on the ground and said, "All of you, get out of here! Otherwise, I will beat you all!"

The crowd was so frightened by his angry expression and cold eyes that they dared not speak. However, they knew they couldn't leave like that. They need to bring Yao Ran with them. Otherwise, those injured n would be dead for sure.

Last night, three more people died from blood loss and infection. Unable to get those injured n to a hospital or find a doctor, their only option was Yao Ran. As long as she agrees to treat them, those injured n still have a chance of survival.

Yao Ran knew what they were thinking and was trying to figure out how to get sothing out of this situation, but Huang Qian didn't have enough patience to deal with these people.

He pulled out his military dagger and pointed at the crowd, "Whoever dares to cause trouble here, I will kill that person. Get lost!"

This ti, those people did not dare to stay any longer. Under Huang Qian's cold gaze, they staggered and ran away one after another.

After everyone left, he looked at Yao Ran and cald down. "Yao Ran, if they co to trouble you again, just tell . I will take care of them for you."

Yao Ran nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

After the two locked the tal doors, they returned to their apartnt.

For breakfast today, Yao Ran had a bowl of egg porridge, two small stead buns, and a cup of soy milk. Just after finishing breakfast and picking up her backpack, Jia Xiang calls her.

They need to leave early and spend two million today.

Before leaving, Huang Qian reminded his younger sister and Deng Qiqi never to open the tal doors for anyone. If soone cos to trouble them, the two of them should wait at ho for them to return before dealing with the troublemakers.

When they arrived at the departnt store at around eight o'clock, there was already a sea of people waiting in front of it.

As Yao Ran and her friends joined the queue, a staff mber walked out of the store with a gaphone.

He stood on the chair and said, "Today's food has been sold out. Those who want to buy food, please co back tomorrow."

When he finished speaking, everyone was stunned. After a mont of silence, shouts and cries filled up the area.

"I've been queuing up since yesterday, but I still can't buy food. How does the governnt handle this matter?"

"Why is it sold out so fast? Less than ten people went inside, and you said the food was sold out?! Are you kidding ?!"

"Is it really sold out? Did you hide the food and keep it for yourself?"

"How can people live if they can't even buy food? The governnt should do sothing about this."

Cries of despair, angry shouts, and voices of grievance filled the air. However, the heavily ard soldiers were there to guard the area, and no one dared to make trouble.

Now that the troops are ard with live ammunition, even if they rush into the store, they may not be able to leave alive. What's the point of getting food but not being able to eat it? Their faces were numb and exhausted. They stood for a while and then left helplessly. When the situation cald down, less than ten percent of the people remained.

Most of them ca to buy food, and when the staff announced that there would be no more food for today, those people left in despair. As the crowd dispersed, the departnt store suddenly felt too quiet and spacious.

Yao Ran and her friends waited for a while before it was their turn to go in.

There were fewer items on the shelves today compared to the last ti they visited the departnt store. Everything that could fill their stomachs was sold out, including snacks that no one wanted before.

Yao Ran walked around for a while and saw a corner selling purified water. Custors would need to bring their own water containers to buy the purified water.

However, just by looking at the turbid water, Yao Ran knew the source of the filtered water.

Thinking of the corpses and garbage floating in the floodwater, she decisively turned around and left the corner selling purified water.

Since there weren't many custors, Yao Ran had more ti to look around. Only so household appliances, clothes, quilts, and daily necessities were left on the shelves.

Yao Ran looked around and found that the prices of so items were five tis higher than before. Although she has a lot of money, she doesn't intend to squander it.

After looking around the departnt store, Yao Ran found that there were still two inflatable boats left. The price had risen to 60,000 yuan per boat. Since they already had enough boats to use, Yao Ran didn't buy the remaining two inflatable boats.

She ca here today to buy supplies for the incoming winter. Although she has prepared a lot of supplies in her space, Yao Ran still needs to buy so to cover the existence of her space.
