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

Chapter 169: What Are You Afraid Of?



When they opened the metal door to the 20th floor, Long Yu and Yao Ran saw Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi cleaning the frost on the corridor's floor and walls.

Seeing them coming back from downstairs, Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi said, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, Elder Brother Long Yu, good morning."

Yao Ran nodded to them and asked, "Where are the others?"

Huang Zhihui pointed outside and said, "Elder Brother Xuan noticed that Lu Hong has been making some secret movement since yesterday, so he and my elder brother went out before dawn to investigate."

Before Yao Ran could ask about Jia Xiang, Deng Qiqi said, "Elder Sister Jia Xiang said she wants to stay at home and sharpen her knife."

After saying that, they noticed the bandage on Long Yu's forehead.

Huang Zhihui's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, "Elder Brother Long Yu, are you injured?!"

Long Yu calmly replied, "Just a small wound. It's nothing."

Since he had said so, Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi stopped talking about it. However, they were curious about how Long Yu got injured. The enemy must be very powerful to be able to injure him.

After chatting with them for a while, Yao Ran followed Long Yu to his apartment.

When the door of Unit 2002 was closed, Huang Zhihui nudged Deng Qiqi with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "Qiqi, why do I feel that there is something different between the two of them?"

Deng Qiqi followed her gaze and looked at the closed metal door of unit 2002. She then looked at Huang Zhihui and asked, "Aren't they always like this?"

Huang Zhihui clicked her tongue, rubbed her chin, and looked at the closed metal door with interest. After a moment of silence, she said, "You don't understand. I think they are secretly dating."

Deng Qiqi didn't believe her.

Although she thinks Long Yu is scary, in her heart, Yao Ran is more terrifying than him. If the two of them were together... Deng Qiqi shuddered and shook her head to clear her mind from those terrible imaginations.

Looking at Huang Zhihui's gossipy face, she sighed and continued to break the ice on the wall. At the same time, Long Yu took Yao Ran to another guest room in his apartment. He looked at her and said, "Ran Ran, can I ask you a favor?"

Yao Ran nodded, "Of course. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

On the way back, Long Yu thought about how to make Yao Ran trust him. After hours of thinking, he finally decided to leave all his wealth to her for safekeeping.

Supplies are very important at the end of the world. If he gives her all his supplies, Yao Ran should believe him and know that he really likes her and won't covet her supplies, right?

Yao Ran looked at Long Yu's serious expression and felt that the favor that he wanted to ask might be very hard to do. She put away her carefree look and said, "As long as I can help you, I will try my best to do it."

Seeing that she was serious about helping him, Long Yu smiled and then opened the door. As soon as Yao Ran saw the things in the guest room, she suddenly wanted to run away. Long Yu noticed what she wanted to do and quickly closed the door.

Yao Ran looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by showing this to me?"

Long Yu opened the thermal cloth covering the pile of supplies that filled the room and said, "I collected these supplies before the typhoon hit Juncheng City. Some things cannot be stored for too long. The weather is very cold now, so I need to use a lot of fuel to keep the room at a suitable temperature to preserve supplies."

After saying that, Long Yu turned around and asked, "Ran Ran, can you lend me some space to store these supplies?"

Everyone living at the end of the world knows that time is static in the space of a space ability user. Since Long Yu asked her to help him store supplies, he should know that there is a place in her unique space where time is static.

Yao Ran narrowed her eyes and probingly asked, "Why do you want me to keep your supplies? Don't you know that supplies are very important right now? You should know that people kill each other for a piece of bark out there."

Long Yu walked up to her and said, "I hope you can trust me. If I give you everything I have, I think you will realize that I never want to covet your supplies."

Looking into his eyes, Yao Ran felt a little uncomfortable because she knew he was telling the truth.

She didn't want him to trust her too much. As long as she could continue to be a teammate with him and the others, that was enough for her.

Seeing her evasive eyes, Long Yu took a few steps forward.

Smelling the scent of soap that she usually uses coming from his body, Yao then took a step back. Just when she was about to speak, Long Yu took another step closer to her.

Seeing that the distance between them was getting closer, Yao Ran took another two steps back while Long Yu also took two steps closer. In this way, Yao Ran kept retreating, and Long Yu kept approaching.

When her back touched the wall, Yao Ran raised her head and looked at Long Yu angrily. However, before she could speak, Long Yu's arms stretched out to her left and right sides and trapped her in the middle.

He lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Ran Ran, what are you afraid of?"

Yao Ran glared at him and said, "I'm not afraid."

"Then why are you avoiding me?" Long Yu asked again.

"I-"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Yao Ran clenched her hands and looked away. She couldn't answer him, so she chose silence.
