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

Chapter 245: Distributing Water



The building manager nodded eagerly and handed Yao Ran an empty bucket. She climbed into the truck's compartment, positioned herself to block the others' view, and discreetly took a measuring cup from her space.

She opened the lid of a plastic drum and began filling the bucket with water, scooping five times before handing the full bucket back to the building manager.

"Please sign here." Yao Ran said, pointing at his name on the list, and handed him the pen.

After signing the list, the building manager hurriedly left with his water. Seeing this scene, the other survivors watched Yao Ran eagerly.

She calmly looked down at the notebook and called out, "Grandma Hu."

An elderly woman in her sixties raised her hand excitedly and shouted hoarsely, "Here, here. I'm here!"

Yao Ran looked at the thin Grandma Hu and said, "I will give you three liters of water."

"Yes, yes." Grandma Hu said quickly, handing over her empty bottle and waiting eagerly as Yao Ran filled it.

Seeing how busy she was, Long Yu locked the car door and suggested, "Ran Ran, I will handle the water while you read the names."

Grateful for the help and eager to finish quickly, Yao Ran agreed. "Alright."

With Long Yu's assistance, they quickly distributed the water. After they finished with the last person on the list, Yao Ran put away her notebook and pen while Long Yu moved two large bottles of water down.

Noticing they were moving down the remaining water, some survivors who hadn't exchanged with Yao Ran became anxious. One of them approached her as she moved the water containers.

Eyeing the water inside the plastic bottles with desperation, the survivor swallowed dryly and asked, "Miss, can I buy some water from you?"

Yao Ran paused, turned to him, and replied, "Three kilograms of food or two liters of gasoline for one liter of water."

The other survivors gasped in shock when they heard the exchange rate.

The man's face reddened with anger after Yao Ran said that, and he asked, "Three kilograms of food for one liter of water? Do you think I have that much food?"

Yao Ran shrugged and calmly replied, "If you are not interested, you are free to go. I'm not forcing anyone to trade with me."

The man hesitated for a moment, then argued, "Didn't you agree to one kilogram of food for one liter of water before?"

Yao Ran nodded, "Yes, but that was before. The price has changed."

Seeing that she was serious, the survivor grew angrier. Clenching his fists, he gritted his teeth and furiously shouted, "Since you are being so heartless, then don't blame me for being unkind!"

With that, he rushed toward Yao Ran to grab one of the water bottles on the ground. But before he could touch it, a gunshot echoed in the underground parking lot.

Bang!

The survivor's eyes widened in shock as his body fell heavily to the ground, and blood flowed out from the bullet hole on his forehead. It didn't take long for his blood to dry, leaving dark brown marks on the dirty ground.

When the other survivors saw this, they trembled and frozen in fear.

Yao Ran turned around and saw Long Yu put down his gun and calmly moved a bucket of water from the compartment.

Seeing this, she faced the other survivors and said, "If you don't wish to trade for water, you may leave. Otherwise, don't blame us for sending you away."

The moment her words fell, the survivors quickly dispersed. While they desperately wanted water, they knew they had to stay alive to use it. After all, what good would water be if it cost them their lives?

After the survivors left, Long Yu looked at Yao Ran and said, "Ran Ran, you stay here and guard the water. I will bring them up."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Yao Ran thought for a moment and replied, "Since there is nobody around, I will put the large bottles, buckets, and drums into my space. We can just transport the smaller ones to the 20th floor. This way, it will save us a lot of time and effort."

Long Yu scanned the surroundings and nodded only after confirming that they were alone. Yao Ran then waved her hand, sending the large buckets, bottles, and drums into her space.

Seeing there were still many bottles, drums, and buckets to transport, Long Yu picked up two big water bottles and said, "I will go up first. Be careful."

"I know." After Long Yu went upstairs, Yao Ran took out a gun from her space and sat in the compartment.

When Long Yu reached the 19th floor, he saw Grandma Quan and Grandpa Quan pacing back and forth in the corridor. He nodded at them and asked, "Grandma Quan, Grandpa Quan, what are you two doing out here?"

Grandpa Quan smiled and replied, "We are just getting some exercise. Yuanwei said it was dangerous outside, so he only allowed us to walk in the corridor. We are bored staying at home every day, so we can only go out and walk for a while to relieve our boredom."

Long Yu nodded and asked, "Where is Brother Quan?"

Grandma Quan responded, "He went out to find water with A Yun and A Hao."

Long Yu thought for a moment and said, "Ran Ran and I just returned with a lot of water. If you two need water, you can exchange food or gasoline for some with us."

Hearing this, Grandpa Quan and Grandma Quan were overjoyed.

Every day, their grandson ventured out with the Sima brothers, but they usually only returned with some metal scraps. Occasionally, they could find some food from the ruins, but it had been over a week since they brought any water back.

Grandpa Quan nodded at Long Yu and said, "We will see what we can find to exchange for

water."

"Alright. Just come up to the 20th floor when you want to make the exchange." After saying that, Long Yu headed upstairs.
