Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy!

Wang Bo knew his dad's skills, and shooting was certainly not one of them. Thus, he tried to drag his dad back, but one of his uncles, a security guard, stopped him and even supported his dad's decision.

Now it was an emergency. They all needed all the help they could get. Thus, the three of them were here.

Naturally, Wang Bo was against it, but after witnessing his dad take down an alien beast, he was stupefied.

Thanks to eating crops from Nanzhi's Virtual Farm, Uncle Wang felt as if he had grown ten years younger.

"When did you learn to shoot?" Wang Bo asked in shock.

"Just a few days ago. What? Am I good?" Uncle Wang lifted the corner of his lips.

Wang Bo didn't hide his astonishment. He nodded. He hadn't expected his dad to have such talent. This time, he was no longer against the decision.

But he still repeatedly reminded his dad to be careful.

"Uncles, please take care of my dad!"

"Don't worry! We will!"

After one last look, Wang Bo left with the Iron Gale Squad to find his wife. The baby was sleeping soundly, which made Wang Bo smile.

"Wife, I'm exhausted. You have no idea how terrifying it is out there."

Ziqing looked at her husband's tired face. "What's the situation outside now?"

"We killed many, but it seems the number of alien beasts hasn't decreased much. But Miss Lu and Mister Lin said we just need to hold out until noon," Wang Bo said while eating, wondering if what the two of them said was true.

Almost everyone in the temporary base was fighting against the tide. Some heavily injured survivors were being transported from outside. Some required immediate surgery. Without the equipment and medicine provided by Nanzhi, it would have been impossible to perform surgeries and save lives.

When Grandpa Meng and the other doctors touched the familiar equipment and tools again, they were hit with nostalgia. For a moment, they felt as if they had returned to the time before the apocalypse.

Thanks to the medicines, the projected number of casualties dropped sharply.

After Grandpa Meng's shift, children brought the doctors warm meals and water.

This time, it was no longer noodle soup with chopped vegetables, but rice porridge with a large vegetable dumpling on the side and a cup of warm soy milk.

The moment he took a sip of soy milk, he felt his fatigue lessen slightly.

The injured and the medical staff wore the same expressions.

"Where did they get so many supplies?" someone asked. "They even have soy milk!"

One of Uncle Wang's adopted children replied according to Miss Lu's instructions, "Miss Lu, Mister Lin, and their friends found factories and transported supplies here, but there aren't many left. As for the soybeans, they bought them from jade merchants."

So that was it!

The survivors looked at the food and appreciated the people mentioned even more.

But Miss Lu and Mister Lin bought soybeans from jade merchants?

Naturally, some of these people had heard the rumors about the jade merchants and had even joined the jade-hunting craze, but they were left disappointed when the jade merchants didn't show up at the promised time.

These survivors were naturally curious and went to ask the child.

The child spoke again, "Miss Lu and Mister Lin said the jade merchants encountered some trouble with the base management and couldn't enter the base in time two days ago."

"I knew it! It must be because of that Lu Chenyu and Lan Fuyou!"

"So that's why they increased the prices of food and water! They must have done something to the jade merchants and were sure they wouldn't come, so they took advantage of us survivors!"

The survivors were naturally furious.

The child struck while the iron was hot. "Mister Lin and Miss Lu said those jade merchants are staying in Jade City for a while because of the weather. So they might pass by here."

"Really, kid?" Grandpa Meng was surprised. He was very interested in the medicinal paste the Iron Gale Squad had bought from the jade merchants to treat Wang Bo.

The child nodded, and the survivors began to feel hopeful again. After all, once Miss Lu and Mister Lin's supplies ran out, they would need to rely on themselves.

Some of the survivors had managed to escape with backpacks containing jade. Those who didn't have any planned to go out once the tide receded.

If the jade merchants really passed by, they could exchange jade for supplies!

"Come to think of it, Miss Lu has the same surname as that greedy Lu Chenyu. Are they related?" a survivor asked curiously.

Someone immediately scowled and rejected the idea. "Absolutely not! Miss Lu cannot be related to that greedy bastard. Their personalities are miles apart!"

These words were supported by everyone, even Grandpa Meng, when he remembered that brave young woman who had rescued them.

In another building, women and elderly people who couldn't help with fighting were assisting with cooking. From evening until early morning, the smoke from the temporary kitchen never ceased.

Around 8:30 a.m., Nanzhi had rested well enough in her Game Lobby. Seeing that Weihao and the others were still sleeping, she went outside after harvesting another batch from her Virtual Farm and replanting crops.

When the survivors saw that she was already awake and heading toward the walls, they were concerned.

"Miss Lu, you're already up? Why don't you rest a little longer?"

"It's okay. How's the situation on the walls?" she asked the survivors from the medical team.

At 8:30 a.m., the sun was already hanging in the sky. Although it wasn't at its peak yet, the temperature was high.

Current temperature: 39 degrees Celsius.

The second batch wiped the sweat from their foreheads and took sips of water. Despite feeling tired and overheated, they had smiles on their faces, because the tide that had seemed endless at dawn now had a clear boundary.
