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

Chapter 251: Packing Up (2)



Grandma Quan looked at her grandson and said, "Miss Yao and Young Master Long discovered that countless mutant rats are hiding in the city. They think these rats will come out when the temperature gets cooler. They are planning to leave tomorrow or the day after."

As Quan Yuanwei listened, his heart sank. A few days earlier, he and the Sima brothers had encountered a few mutant rats while scavenging for supplies, and it took them a lot of effort to kill even one mutant rat.

If even Long Yu and his friends had decided to leave, then the situation must be very serious.

It's better to follow Long Yu and his friends. At least, by staying close to Long Yu's group, he and the Sima brothers would have some protection and could follow them to find supplies in the future.

If they are lucky, they might be able to form a permanent team with Long Yu and the others. After making his decision, Quan Yuanwei turned to his grandmother and said, "Grandma, please go inside and tell Grandpa that we will be leaving with Brother Long and that we need to start packing right away. I will inform A Yun first before I come back and help you pack our things."

Grandma Quan nodded when she heard his words, "Alright. I will go tell your grandpa right away."

After Grandma Quan went inside to share the news with Grandpa Quan, Quan Yuanwei closed their door and knocked on the Sima family's door.

When Sima Yun opened the door, Quan Yuanwei said, "I have something important to discuss with you."

Noting his serious expression, Sima Yun replied, "Please come in, Brother Yuanwei."

After closing the door, Sima Yun joined Quan Yuanwei in the living room, took a seat across from him, and asked, "Brother Yuanwei, what do you want to talk about?"

Quan Yuanwei looked at Sima Yun and explained, "I'm planning to leave Juncheng City and follow Brother Long. Do you want to come with us or go to the Juncheng military base?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Yun frowned and asked, "Are they leaving because of the mutant rats?"

Quan Yuanwei nodded, "Zhihui just told my grandma that Brother Huang and the others are heading out tonight to find more cars and supplies. Once they return, they will leave immediately."

He paused and added, "I plan to ask if I can join them tonight. I need to find gasoline and vehicles before leaving."

Sima Yun fell into deep thought after listening to Quan Yuanwei's words. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'd like to go with you tonight."

Hearing this, Quan Yuanwei stood up and said, "Good. Then we need to visit Brother Long and ask if we can go with them tonight."

Before he could take a step, Sima Yun stopped him and said, "Wait. Let me tell my parents first."

Quan Yuanwei nodded and waited until Sima Yun returned a moment later.

Sima Yun looked at him and said, "Let's go."

The two of them then made their way to the 20th floor.

Arriving on the 20th floor, they noticed the supplies stacked in the corridors and the three apartments with missing doors, and they exchanged glances. It was clear they needed to hurry and pack if they wanted to leave with Long Yu and his group.

When Huang Qian saw them, he wasn't surprised. He smiled and asked, "Brother Quan, Brother Sima, do you need something?"

Quan Yuanwei replied, "Zhihui told my grandma that you all are heading out tonight to gather cars and supplies."

Huang Qian nodded, and Quan Yuanwei continued, "We'd like to leave with you, so we will need cars and gasoline. Brother Huang, can we join you tonight?"

Huang Qian nodded, "Of course. You are welcome to come with us, but we will leave at sunset."

Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun's eyes lit up when they heard Huang Qian's words.

Sima Yun nodded and gratefully said, "Thank you, Brother Huang. We will go back and pack so we don't delay the departure."

Huang Qian said, "Alright."

After they left, Shi Xuan came out carrying two bags of rice. He asked, "Did they come to ask if they could join us?"

Huang Qian turned to look at him and gave him a thumbs-up. He then curiously asked, "Brother Xuan, how did you know they wanted to come with us tonight?"

Shi Xuan stacked the bags of rice with the others and replied, "Isn't it obvious? The Sima and Quan families don't have cars. If they want to leave Juncheng City with us, they will need transportation."

"Hui Hui must have told them we are heading out tonight for cars and supplies. Knowing this, they must want to join us. Therefore, Brother Quan and Brother Sima will come to ask for

permission."

Huang Qian nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "I thought they might plan to go to the Juncheng military base. Anyway, we don't have a destination yet, and no one knows what will happen on the way. It is safer for them to go to the Juncheng military base than to follow us."

Shi Xuan shook his head, "If they could, they would have gone as soon as the military announced they were accepting survivors. Since Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun told us they are short on supplies, their best option now is to come with us."

"With more people, survival chances will increase. Besides, they only have three capable fighters and a mix of young and elderly family members, while we can all fight and have no elderly or young family member."

"Joining our group has more advantages than disadvantages for them. Though they will need to follow our rules, they will also have more protection for their families. They can even join us if we go out to find supplies in the future."

Shi Xuan smiled and asked, "If you were in their shoes, would you go to the Juncheng military base or join us?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
