Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 449: Wu Yuze

After a moment of silence, Wu Yuze replied, "As long as we stay together and grow stronger, we will find that place one day."

The children nodded, satisfied with Wu Yuze's answer, and stopped asking questions. As they slowly drifted off to sleep, Wu Yuze stood up and stepped outside. Seeing that the sky

gradually changed color, he returned to the collapsed building.

Leaning against the wall, he pulled out a necklace hidden beneath his thin white robe and gazed at the small golden locket attached to it. After a moment, he pressed a secret button on its side.

Click.

The golden locket opened, revealing a tiny family photo inside.

Wu Yuze stared at the two adults in the picture, then shifted his gaze to the boy standing beside the woman holding a baby.

After a long moment of silence, he closed the golden locket and shut his eyes. Soon, his breathing steadied as he drifted into sleep.

Two hours later, Wu Yuze suddenly woke up.

"Gasp!"

The moment he opened his eyes, countless fireballs appeared in the air around him. When his vision finally cleared, he looked around and realized that he had escaped that hellish place. Taking a few deep breaths, Wu Yuze slowly calmed down.

Noticing the fireballs still floating in the air, he waved his hand, and a second later, they vanished. Just as he was about to stand up, one of the children stirred awake.

The little boy rubbed his eyes sleepily and asked, "Elder Brother Yuze, are we leaving now?" Wu Yuze patted his head and gently replied, "I'm going to check the situation outside first. You wake up the others. Remember to stay here until I come back."

"Mhm, alright." The little boy nodded and got up to wake up the others.

While the little boy called for his brothers and sisters, Wu Yuze stepped out of the building, carefully observing his surroundings.

After a few minutes of silence, he frowned and thought, 'Weird. There is not a single sound here. Where did the deformed monsters go?'

Just as he was lost in thought, the sound of approaching footsteps reached his ears. Acting quickly, Wu Yuze hid behind a collapsed wall.

"The secret laboratory isn't far from here. We should be able to reach it before noon."

Hearing these words, Wu Yuze cautiously peeked out from his hiding place. As he looked around, a group of men in black, accompanied by a woman, came into view.

'These people aren't from The Ark', he thought.

As he observed them, Wu Yuze's eyes suddenly widened in shock when he recognized a familiar face among them.

Staring at the man in disbelief, Wu Yuze muttered softly, "Impossible..."

The moment he spoke, the man's gaze locked in his direction. "Who's there?" Wu Yehao asked as he prepared to attack.

As soon as he spoke, Yao Ran shot two vines toward the collapsed wall.

Swish! Swish!

Seeing the vines closing in at high speed, Wu Yuze's eyes flickered. Acting on instinct, he threw two fireballs forward. When the fireballs made contact with the vines, they exploded. Boom! Boom!

The flames engulfed the vines, but instead of burning them to ashes, the fire merely burned the outside layer, causing no harm.

Realizing that his opponent was at a higher level than himself, Wu Yuze made a split-second decision. The next second, he turned around and ran away.

Noticing that her target was attempting to escape, Yao Ran directed her vines to burrow into the soil.

When he turned around, Wu Yuze breathed a small sigh of relief when he saw the vines retract. However, he didn't slow down. Just as he turned his gaze forward, something shot up from the ground beneath his feet.

Crack! Whoosh!

Caught off guard, Wu Yuze was too late to dodge. The vines coiled around his limbs, binding him tightly.

"Ugh!"

Sensing resistance at the end of her vines, Yao Ran knew she had successfully captured him. Pouring more energy into her vines, she tugged on them and pulled them back.

When the restrained Wu Yuze lifted his head, both Yao Ran and Long Yu exclaimed in unison, "It's you!"

Wu Yuze's eyes flickered with recognition as he recalled who they were. Clenching his jaw, he struggled to break free but failed.

Just as he considered using a fireball as a distraction, Wu Yehao stepped forward and asked, "Eldest Young Lady, Brother Long, do you two know this boy?"

Yao Ran nodded. "We met him at Shan Wu Resort before the acid rain. But he and the other children were kidnapped by The Ark. At that time, we only managed to save a little boy."

At her words, Wu Yuze's eyes lit up. "You know where Xiao Baozi is?"

Yao Ran turned to him and nodded. "Xiao Baozi is safe. He is staying with our friend in our shelter."

After saying that, her gaze then fell on the thin white robe he wore, and her expression darkened. After a brief silence, she asked, "Did you escape from the secret laboratory?"

Wu Yuze tensed at her question. His eyes hardened with hostility as he countered, "Who are you? How do you know about the secret laboratory?"

Yao Ran met his gaze calmly. "I'm someone who wants to destroy The Ark."

Wu Yuze scoffed at her remark. "Destroy The Ark? Just you?"

Yao Ran smiled and responded, "I'm not alone." Then, she asked, "Where are the other children?"

Wu Yuze looked away, refusing to answer.

Turning to Wu Yehao, Yao Ran said, "Captain Wu, since he is so calm, the children must be nearby. Can you help me find them?"

Hearing this, Wu Yuze's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "What do you want to do?!" he asked angrily, struggling to free himself from the vines.

As he struggled, Yao Ran suddenly noticed something. She walked up to him and reached out, pulling a golden locket from beneath his robe.

The moment her fingers brushed against it, Wu Yuze shouted in fury, "Don't touch it!"
