Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 504: Invitation

Frowning slightly, Yao Ran added, "Besides, we have been here for over a month. With the Long family controlling this place behind the scenes, it is strange they haven’t found out where A Yu lives."

Pausing for a moment, Yao Ran’s eyes flickered as she muttered, "Unless... someone is blocking the news on purpose."

Hao Ze was surprised by her accurate deduction from the little information he had provided.

After a moment of silence, Hao Ze said, "Miss Yao, you are right."

Yao Ran raised an eyebrow at his words and asked, "Brother Hao, do you know something?"

Hao Ze nodded. "The thug leader told me last night that the young master of the Long family hired assassins to kill Brother Long."

Seeing his hesitation, Yao Ran pressed, "Is there more?"

After hesitating for a moment, Hao Ze continued, "The thug leader also mentioned that Young Master Long offered a generous reward for anyone who could bring you to him alive."

Hearing this, Yao Ran chuckled. Her eyes turned cold as she slowly said, "It seems I need to visit him to refresh his memory."

Watching her laugh, Hao Ze suddenly shuddered as a chill ran down his spine. Rubbing the back of his neck, he wondered, ’Did I catch a cold? Why did the temperature suddenly feel colder today?’

While Hao Ze was still puzzled by the sudden chill, Yao Ran took out another batch of medicine, food, and water from her space.

She smiled and said, "Brother Hao, thank you for your hard work. These are your rewards."

Seeing the supplies filling the low table, Hao Ze couldn’t hide his happiness. He smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, Miss Yao. If not for you, my wife and son would be dead by now."

Yao Ran shook her head and said, "We made an agreement, and I’m just fulfilling my promise."

Noticing it was almost lunchtime, Hao Ze said, "Miss Yao, I still need to prepare medicine for my wife and son. I won’t bother you any longer."

Seeing that he only brought a backpack, Yao Ran took out a large sack and said, "Brother Hao, you can use this sack to carry the supplies."

"Thank you." Hao Ze took the sack and packed everything inside.

With his backpack on his chest and the sack on his back, Hao Ze said, "Then, I will take my leave first. I will visit you again after I find more information."

Yao Ran escorted him out and reminded him, "The people behind the potion are dangerous. Be careful."

"Understood."

After Hao Ze left, Yao Ran took out her backpack and her long sword before leaving her house. As she walked downstairs, she called Long Yu.

"A Yu, I have something to do and will be back before dinner."

Long Yu lowered his voice and replied, "Alright. Be careful out there."

"I know."

After ending the call, Long Yu looked at the others around the table and apologized, "Sorry for the interruption. Please continue."

While Long Yu was busy planning their route to The Origin’s headquarters with Shi Xuan and the others, Yao Ran took out a bicycle and rode to the Mission Hall.

The last time she met Long Qian was at the Mission Hall, so she decided to go there and see if she could find him again.

Arriving at the Mission Hall, Yao Ran looked around but couldn’t find Long Qian. Just as she was about to leave, someone approached her from behind.

A second before the hand touched her shoulder, Yao Ran drew her long sword and turned around. Before her blade could slash the person’s neck, she paused.

She coldly examined the man’s face, which bore a resemblance to Long Yu, before asking, "What do you want?"

The man glanced at the cold light reflecting off the long sword’s edge for a moment before looking at Yao Ran and introducing himself. "My name is Long Zhan. You saved my grandfather once. Do you still remember me?"

Yao Ran stared at him briefly before withdrawing her sword. As she sheathed it, she asked, "What do you want?"

Noting that she seemed to remember him, Long Zhan smiled. "This isn’t the place to talk. How about I invite the young lady for a meal?"

Yao Ran had no interest in dining with him, but she wanted to know why he had approached her. After a moment’s thought, she agreed.

"Lead the way."

Making an inviting gesture, Long Zhan said, "After you, Young Lady."

As she walked past him, Yao Ran glanced at his smiling face. Looking away, she sneered inwardly and thought, ’He put on a friendly face, yet his eyes are full of calculation. Indeed, a tree bears the same fruit. He is the same as Long Qian.’

Leaving the Mission Hall, Yao Ran saw a car already waiting outside.

Noticing the luxurious vehicle, Yao Ran slightly raised an eyebrow as she glanced at Long Zhan. ’Seems like the Long family’s wealth is greater than I expected.’

In their current world, fuel could still be in great demand but was no longer produced. For Long Zhan to use a luxury car that consumed fuel like water spoke volumes about the Long family’s riches.

Opening the car door for her, Long Zhan said politely, "Young Lady, please."

Curious about his intentions, Yao Ran got into the car. Seeing this, Long Zhan closed the door and entered from the other side.

After a bodyguard shut the door behind him, he instructed, "Return to the estate."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." At his command, the driver pulled away from the Mission Hall.

They drove for more than twenty minutes before the scenery changed.

As Yao Ran looked at the empty street lined with newly planted saplings, she frowned slightly. Instead of maximizing space to accommodate more survivors, the Long family seemed more concerned with status and appearances.

After traveling down the long, clean road, the car finally slowed. In the distance, guards spotted the approaching luxurious car and opened a giant metal gate.
