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

Chapter 305: Juncheng Military Base



The short-haired woman thought for a moment before saying, "There are more and more people traveling this road. They must all be heading to the Juncheng Military Base. It looks like it's time for us to go there too."

The other women looked worried at her suggestion. The bald woman hesitated before speaking, "Boss, we don't have any extra supplies to pay the entrance fee."

The short-haired woman fell silent upon hearing this.

She clenched her hands and said, "When the boat reaches the bridgehead, it will naturally straighten. If we stay here, we will only die. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to go to the Juncheng Military Base and see if we are lucky enough to find work there."

Since their leader had made the decision, the other women nodded reluctantly in agreement.

Meanwhile, after driving another twenty kilometers, Long Yu suddenly said, "The feeling of being watched is gone."

Hearing this, Yao Ran sighed in relief. She said, "There must have been someone with an ability to observe people without revealing themselves."

Long Yu nodded, "Mhm. At the end of the world, there are countless kinds of abilities. It is not surprising that someone might have such a power."

After that, the rest of their journey went smoothly. When they encountered a group of mutant animals, Yao Ran would step out of the truck to deal with them.

In the early stages of mutation, the skin of mutant animals was only slightly tougher and thicker than that of ordinary animals. As a result, she could still kill them using her guns and long sword.

Watching her skillfully kill the mutant animals, Long Yu didn't intervene. Instead, he sat behind the steering street and admired his girlfriend's efficient and precise movements.

Waiting in the off-road vehicle, Yuan Rihui finally realized just how strong Yao Ran was. After knowing her for nearly a year, this was the first time he had seen her in action.

As he watched her calmly behead a mutant rat, Yuan Rihui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered in relief and fear, "Thank goodness I have always been respectful toward her. Otherwise, my head might have been gone long ago.

After killing the last of the mutant rats, Yao Ran moved their corpses to the roadside. She flicked the blood off her long sword, returned to the truck, and cleaned her weapon as Long Yu started the truck and continued driving.

By the time they saw the Juncheng Military Base in the distance, it was already late at night. Seeing that the gates were closed, Yuan Rihui parked his off-road vehicle nearby and steppedn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

out.

Walking up to the truck, he said to Long Yu, "Brother Long, we are too late. We will have to wait until morning for the gates to open."

Long Yu looked at the closed gate for a moment and then said, "Alright."

Relieved by Long Yu's agreement, Yuan Rihui added, "Brother Long, if you need anything, just let me know. I'm going to rest now."

Even Long Yu was tired from the long day of driving, so he could sympathize with Yuan Rihui's exhaustion.

"Got it." He replied.

While the two men spoke, Yao Ran took the opportunity to observe their surroundings. As she stared at the high wall, she noticed something.

Soldiers were stationed every five meters along the top of the high wall, and every fifty meters stood a watchtower equipped with large searchlights illuminating the area. The main entrance was a giant metal door flanked by four smaller metal side doors-two on each side. Clicking her tongue, Yao Ran commented, "It's amazing that they were able to build this kind of base in less than six months with limited materials and labor."

Hearing her comment, Long Yu followed her gaze to study the high wall and noticed the soldiers' arrangement.

After a brief silence, he said, "For those who reach the highest ranks in the military, they are not simple people. Building a base may be impossible for ordinary people, but it is unlikely for those in the military."

"They each have their own connections and hidden powers, so it is no surprise that they could build this kind of base in a short time. However, I wonder why they sent so many soldiers to defend the wall. It almost looked as if they were guarding against intruders."

After thinking for a moment, Yao Ran suggested, "If you are curious, why don't we stay for a few days and investigate?"

Long Yu considered her suggestion before nodding. "Alright."

Feeling hungry, Yao Ran asked, "What do you want for dinner?"

With the night temperature hovering around 21°C, a hot meal sounded perfect. Missing her cooking, Long Yu quickly replied, "Wonton soup."

Hearing his answer, Yao Ran retrieved two servings of wonton soup from her warehouse. As they opened the food containers, fragrant steam wafted out, filling the air with the enticing aroma of a delicious wonton soup.

Handing a spoon to Long Yu, Yao Ran began enjoying her wonton soup. While the two of them savored their warm dinner, Yuan Rihui could only eat compressed biscuits and a few sips of water to fill his empty stomach before he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, just as the sky began to brighten, the soldiers opened the metal gates. Hearing the sound, Long Yu woke up. Noticing that Yao Ran was still fast asleep, he decided not to disturb her. Quietly, he exited the truck and walked over to wake Yuan Rihui. Standing by the off-road vehicle, Long Yu saw that Yuan Rihui was still asleep. Knocking on the window, he called, "Brother Yuan, wake up. The gates are open now."

After a few more calls, Yuan Rihui finally woke up. Lowering the window, he asked groggily, "Brother Long, do you need something?"

Long Yu pointed to the growing line of vehicles at the gates and said, "The gates are open."
