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

Chapter 54: Hot Pot



At the same time, when Long Yu walked into Yao Ran's apartment for the first time, he was surprised by the empty living room. Seeing that there was only a low table and a sofa there, he wisely didn't ask anything.

Seeing Yao Ran go to the kitchen, he followed her and put the rice bags on the floor.

"Thank you for your help. Let me make you something to express my gratitude. Do you have anything you like to eat?" Yao Ran asked while washing her hands.

Long Yu replied, "I can eat anything."

Yao Ran wiped her hands, put on her apron, and asked, "How about we eat hot pot? Now that the temperature is getting colder, it is very suitable to have a spicy hot pot."

Long Yu didn't object and nodded, "Sure. Do you need any help?"

Although hot pot is delicious, it is quite troublesome to prepare the ingredients.

Since Long Yu had already offered to help her, Yao Ran pointed to the living room and handed him a basin and a pair of scissors, "Help me collect the vegetables on the balcony and the mushrooms in the planting room."

Yao Ran thought Long Yu didn't know where her planting room was and added, "I used the guest rooms as planting rooms."

"Got it."

While Yao Ran was preparing the soup, Long Yu came to the balcony with the basin and scissors and saw the lush vegetables. It had been a long time since he had seen vegetables growing on the soil. After coming back to his senses, he squatted in front of the planting pots and began to harvest vegetables.

After filling half a basin with various vegetables, he went to the guest room. When he opened the door, Long Yu saw that the room was filled with planting pots. Various vegetables and fruits grow there.

After collecting a few tomatoes and chili, Long Yu went to another guest room. Opening the door, he saw a small lamp illuminating the room. In the dim room, many logs are neatly arranged. On the surface of these logs, various mushrooms grow healthily.

Long Yu was very surprised that Yao Ran had grown mushrooms indoors. While it's not difficult, people rarely do it.

"Long Yu, have you picked the vegetables and mushrooms?"

Hearing Yao Ran's question, Long Yu said toward the direction of the kitchen, "What kind of mushrooms do you want? There are many types of mushrooms here."

In the kitchen, Yao Ran had already prepared the soup, so she went over to take a look. Seeing Long Yu standing at the door, she said, "Just pick whatever mushrooms you like to eat."

After saying that, she went in to pick mushrooms without waiting for his answer. Two minutes later, they had finished picking a bunch of mushrooms and returned to the kitchen. Yao Ran took the vegetables and said, "Please help me wash the mushrooms."

"Oh."

With Long Yu's help, the hot pot ingredients were quickly prepared.

She looked at the plates filled with various meats, vegetables, and mushrooms and said, "Should we eat here? It would be troublesome to bring all of these over to unit 2001."

Long Yu nodded, "I will call them."

"Alright."

Not long after, Long Yu and the others came. Each of them brought food with them, and Long Yu brought a few bottles of soda.

When Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi saw that Yao Ran had prepared a hot pot, they quickly went to help her bring out the remaining ingredients from the kitchen. Sitting around the low table, seven people raised their glasses together and toasted each other.

Jia Xiang took a bite of the tender fish meat and couldn't help but give Yao Ran a thumbs up.

She swallowed the spicy fish and said, "Yao Ran, the fish is delicious! There is a power outage everywhere. How can you still have fresh meat?"

Yao Ran pointed to the small freezer in the corner of the living room and said, "I have a small solar generator. The solar generator is enough to power some basic household appliances."

Others followed her sight and looked at the freezer in the corner. There was no electricity, and most of the meat had rotted away. Without Yao Ran, they won't be able to eat fresh vegetables, mushrooms, and meat today.

While eating, Long Yu and others recounted what happened after they left last night to Yao Ran. The situation inside Building 3 is already chaotic, but the situation outside is even worse.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The four of them arrived at the supermarket early despite the heavy rain. There were not many people at that moment, but more and more came, and soon, the supermarket became very crowded.

Many people want to steal their motorboat, but Long Yu and the others are not easy to deal with. They guarded the motorboat and finally waited until the supermarket opened. Although the price of rice and flour has increased twenty-fold, people still flock to the supermarket. They grab everything they can, whether it's on the shelf or in someone's hand.

There is no internet, and supermarkets only accept cash. Those who have cash are naturally happy, but those who don't can only pay with gold necklaces or bracelets, and checkout becomes slow and complicated.

Those who have no money, jewelry, or valuables can only grab their things and run away.

The police officers at the scene fired a warning shot and temporarily suppressed the commotion. However, too many people didn't have cash, and soon, the situation became out of control.

Due to limited supplies, the second wave of people rushed in quickly, grabbed the items, and fled. Everyone is scared, afraid that others will take away the supplies that they finally got.

Seeing the chaotic situation getting worse, Long Yu and others decided to leave. Yet, the water was packed with people, like dumplings in a pot.

Those people kept rushing over. Some wanted to snatch their supplies, and some wanted to grab the motorboat.
