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

Chapter 293: Mutant Cats



After thinking about it, Yao Ran replied, "The last time I used this skill, it was 500 meters, but my wood element ability at that time did not yet break through to level 1. But now, I'm not sure how far I can go since my wood element ability has reached the peak of level three."

After a moment of contemplation, Long Yu said, "Then we will test your reconnaissance skill when we reach Juncheng City's outskirts."

Yao Ran agreed, "Alright."

After traveling for an hour, they finally encountered their first group of mutant animals. Sitting in the passenger seat, Wu Lian picked up the walkie-talkie on the dashboard and said, "There is a group of mutant cats ahead. Get ready for battle."

A moment later, Huang Qian's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Got it."

Just as Wu Lian set the walkie-talkie down, something heavy landed on the roof of the SUV. Thud!

The impact was so strong that it dented the car's roof. A second later, a sharp, scraping sound pierced the air as something clawed through the metal.

Bang! Creak!

Startled, everyone looked up to see four sharp claws piercing the roof.

Realizing that the mutant cat was attempting to tear off the roof, Yao Ran's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, she pulled out a high-voltage stun gun from her space using her backpack as a cover, removed the safety pin, and turned it on. A second later, she jabbed the stun gun at the exposed big yellow paw.

Bzztt!

The moment the electricity coursed through its paw, the mutant cat let out a sharp, ear- piercing screech that echoed through the quiet surroundings.

"Nyaa!"

The cry was so loud that it made Yao Ran's ears hurt and made her dizzy. Her body swayed, and she fell back to her seat. Before her head hit the window, Long Yu reached out and caught her.

"Ran Ran, be careful! Are you alright?" He asked as he quickly checked on her.

Shaking her head to clear her mind, Yao Ran replied, "I'm fine."

The mutant cat, now injured its paw, leaped off the roof and rejoined the rest of the group. With daylight breaking, Yao Ran could now see her surroundings more clearly.

Because the mutant cats blocked the road, the SUV and bus were forced to stop. As soon as the vehicles stopped, the mutant cats charged toward them.

Yao Ran gripped her long sword, opened the door, and kicked the mutant cat blocking her path. Before her feet could touch the ground, another mutant cat charged forward, aiming its sharp claws at her throat.

Sensing the incoming danger, Yao Ran swiftly drew her long sword and slashed the mutant cat in one fluid motion, splitting its body into two from head to butt.

Splash! Thud! Thud!

As dark blood splattered onto the ground and the SUV's body, Yao Ran quickly moved away from the vehicle. Long Yu and the others followed closely behind, exiting the SUV.

After witnessing one of their companions killed, the mutant cats hesitated to attack further. Instead, they encircled the group, watching them cautiously while bearing their fangs and claws.

Locking eyes with the mutant cats, Yao Ran said, "These mutant cats are agile but have low defense. Aim for their heads or sever their limbs."

The others nodded in understanding after listening to what she said.

After a tense standoff, Yao Ran's eyes flickered with murderous intent. She sneered and said, "A Yu, let's go."

At her signal, Yao Ran and Long Yu charged toward the nearest mutant cats on their left and right.

As though a switch had been pulled, the remaining mutant cats sprang into action. Shi Xuan, Huang Qian, and Jia Xiang joined the battle moments later.

Watching the battle unfold, Wu Lian raised his gun and commanded, "Aim for their heads!"

"Yes, Captain!" the soldiers responded, opening fire on the mutant cats.

For over twenty minutes, the sounds of gunfire and clashing metal echoed in the area.

With only two mutant cats remaining, Yao Ran and Long Yu exchanged a brief glance. Without speaking, they rushed toward the two mutant cats and beheaded them with swift, synchronized movements.

Thud! Thud!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As the bodies fell to the ground, Yao Ran flicked the blood off her long sword. Turning to the others, she said, "The smell of blood is too strong here. We need to leave immediately." Everyone nodded and hurriedly got back into the vehicles to continue their journey. On the bus, a few soldiers were scratched and injured from the battle. Thanks to the first-aid kit distributed by Yao Ran, the injuries were treated on time.

Thanks to Long Yu's team taking the vanguard position, no one had died, and the injuries sustained were minor. After the encounter with the mutant cats, the group only faced a few smaller mutant animals along the way.

When they arrived at the suburban area of Juncheng City, the sun was already high in the sky.

Stepping out of the SUV, Yao Ran scanned the surroundings and noticed an abundance of mutant plants. She frowned slightly as she observed the surroundings. After a while, she closed her eyes and spread out her wood element energy.

The moment her energy touched the mutant plants, Yao Ran felt them come alive. A second later, she realized they were absorbing her energy. Alarmed, she quickly withdrew her wood element energy before it was completely drained.

Opening her eyes, she exhaled shakily. After calming herself, Yao Ran wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and thought, 'That was dangerous. If I'd been a little slower, those mutant plants would have drained all my energy.'

While she was deep in thought, Long Yu approached her. Noticing her pale, sweat-covered face, he asked with concern, "Ran Ran, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Snapping out of her thoughts, Yao Ran grasped his arm and spoke in a low voice, "A Yu, I just tried using my reconnaissance skill, but it didn't work."
