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

As the man's voice echoed through the silent night, Jiang Chen clicked his tongue and muttered, "What? The show ended already? That was fast."

Although Jiang Chen still wanted to watch the show, he put away his playful expression and focused on Yao Ran when he saw a group of men walking out from the dark alley.

Yao Ran sized them up and quickly noticed that only the bald man leading the group was an ability user. As for the others, they were all ordinary survivors.

Seeing that they dared to kidnap ability users despite their weak strength, Yao Ran was certain that their victims must have fallen into a trap and been drugged. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this group to capture so many ability users—some of whom even possessed level five abilities.

While Yao Ran was analyzing them, the bald man was also observing her. Seeing how calm she remained, he frowned and thought, 'Something feels not right. This young lady is too calm.'

After they sized each other up for a while, Yao Ran's expression suddenly changed, and she took a few steps back.

Noticing the fear on her face, the bald man raised an eyebrow and thought, 'Oh, so she was just too shocked to react at first. Well, it's understandable. Anyone would be scared out of their wits upon seeing me.'

Unaware of the bald man's narcissistic thoughts, Yao Ran activated her acting skills and asked in a trembling voice, "W–who are you?!"

The man in the black shirt saw how frightened she appeared yet still tried to act brave and felt amused. He sneered and said, "Big Brother, look at how scared she is. She must never see someone as strong as you."

The bald man nodded and said with a hint of pride in his voice, "Mhm. If she were strong, she wouldn't be shaking like a leaf in front of me."

Hearing this, the man in the black shirt rubbed his hands together eagerly.

As he licked his lips, he looked at Yao Ran lustfully and asked, "Big Brother, before we send her away, can I have a taste first? You see, my wife has been dead for a long time, and I haven't touched a woman since."

Before his words fully landed, something sliced through the air past his left ear.

Swish!

A second later, the man in the black shirt felt warm liquid trickling down his neck. Raising his hand to touch it, his eyes widened in shock when he saw blood on his fingers. Then, his gaze fell to the ground—where his severed left ear lay.

A second later, a sharp, searing pain hit him, and he clutched the side of his head, screaming in pain, "Ah! My ear!"

The bald man and the others were startled by his shriek. Instantly, everyone turned to look at him. When they saw his ear lying on the ground, they were momentarily stunned.

Before they could react, another piercing scream rang out.

"Ahh!"

Turning their heads, they saw Yao Ran collapse to the ground weakly, staring at the severed ear in horror. Two seconds later, she fainted, slumping limply onto the filthy ground.

Witnessing everything, the bald man was speechless.

"..." Such a coward. Has she never seen blood before?

Shaking off his thoughts, he commanded the others, "Go and carry her. Make sure to tie up her hands."

"Yes, Big Brother."

Then, he turned to the man in the black shirt, who was still clutching the side of his head and wailing in pain. Annoyed, the bald man kicked him and snapped, "Shut up! Do you want to alert the soldiers?!"

Gritting his teeth, the injured man forced himself to endure the pain, though his whole body trembled from the pain.

Once silence returned to the deserted street, one of the men hesitantly asked, "Big Brother, what just happened? How did his ear suddenly get cut off?"

The bald man frowned. "I don't know."

After saying that, he scanned their surroundings but saw nothing unusual. A moment later, a chill ran down his spine.

Shaking off his unease, he said, "We have already collected more than twenty people. We should leave this place as soon as possible."

Knowing the danger if they were caught by The Origin, the others accepted the order. "Yes, Big Brother."

After tying up Yao Ran's hands, they carried her and left the area. After they left, Long Yu, Shi Xuan, Jiang Chen, and his team secretly followed them.

Half an hour later, Yao Ran was placed in a dark room.

The man put her down and glared at the other ability users. "Stay quiet, or I will beat you all!"

After the man threatened the ability users, he locked the door and walked away.

Yao Ran waited until the footsteps faded before opening her eyes. Seeing that her hands were tied, she used her water element ability to cut the rope with a thin water blade.

A man who was sitting nearby noticed this. His eyes widened in surprise as he asked in a low voice, "They didn't drug you?"

Yao Ran pushed her body up from the dirty ground, shook her head, and calmly replied, "I pretended to faint before they could do anything to me."

Hearing this, the man observed that Yao Ran's clothes were dirty, but there were no wounds or injuries on her body.

After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Young Lady, since you can fight back, why did you let them bring you here? Do you know where this place is?"

"I know what I'm doing." Yao Ran then looked at the man's thin body and asked, "How long have you been locked up here?"

The man sighed and answered, "More than two months."

Seeing how thin he and the other ability users were, Yao Ran asked, "Don't they feed you guys?"

The man shook his head, and a woman sitting on the other side replied, "They only give us enough to keep us alive."
