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

Chapter 222: I Will Find A Solution



Long Yu drove for ten minutes before parking the truck behind the ruins of a collapsed hotel. Since the roads were in poor condition, he didn't go far from the military camp.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After he parked the truck, Yao Ran got out of the passenger seat and then climbed into the back compartment. Standing inside the empty compartment, she took out the medicines and disinfectant she had prepared earlier, filling the compartment to the brim.

She climbed down, closed the compartment door, and got back into the passenger seat. After fastening her seat belt, Long Yu started the truck and headed back to the military camp.

The round trip took them about thirty minutes. When they returned, the soldiers were surprised by their swift return.

One soldier checked the truck's compartment and was shocked to see it packed with wooden boxes filled with medicine and plastic barrels filled with disinfectant. Confirming the contents of the boxes and plastic barrels, he signaled for the others to open the gate.

After the truck drove into the military camp, a soldier closed the iron door and asked curiously, "What is inside the compartment?"

The soldier replied, "It's medicine and disinfectant. I think our comrades can be saved now."

His words stunned the others, who looked at the truck with newfound hope. Thanks to their commander, they had medicine. Without it, many of their comrades might not have survived the next few days.

Unaware that the news of the medicine had spread through the military camp, Long Yu and Yao Ran delivered the medicine to the warehouse, informed Xu Qipeng, and then made a few more trips and filled up the military warehouse with medicine and disinfectant.

When they delivered the last batch of medicine and disinfectant, dawn was approaching. Long Yu returned the truck to the parking lot and noticed that the sky had already begun to lighten.

These days, daylight arrives earlier every morning. Checking his watch, he saw it was only three o'clock in the morning, yet the sky was brightening.

Thinking about the poisonous sunlight, he said, "Let's hurry back home before the sun comes up."

Yao Ran agreed. "Alright."

They found Xu Qipeng and told him he could find them at the Ling Yuan apartment complex if he needed more medicine or disinfectant. After saying their goodbyes, they prepared to leave.

Seeing the sky growing brighter, Xu Qipeng stopped them and said, "I will have someone take you back. Traveling by car is faster than walking."

Long Yu and Yao Ran looked at the sky and agreed.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived safely at the Ling Yuan apartment complex. Ten minutes after they returned home, the sun rose an hour earlier than the day before, and the temperature climbed rapidly.

After taking a bath and changing her clothes, Yao Ran refilled the portable air conditioners with water and ice before lying on the bamboo cot. While she slept, Xu Qipeng was busy giving orders in the military camp.

When the military doctors saw the medicine and received the prescription from Xu Qipeng, their weary faces lit up.

The chief doctor held the prescription, looked at Xu Qipeng, and asked, "Commander Xu, who gave you this prescription?"

Xu Qipeng replied, "My niece. Why? Is there something wrong with it?"

The chief doctor shook his head and said, "This medicine is effective for dispelling parasites from the patient's body, but the process will be painful. After taking it, the patients need to rest for a few days and nourish their bodies."

Hearing the chief doctor's explanation, Xu Qipeng frowned and asked, "If they don't nourish their bodies, will there be long-term effects after they dispel the parasites?"

The chief doctor understood their current difficult situation. Given their limited resources, they could barely provide enough food for daily meals, let alone provide nourishing food to the patients.

Seeing the worry on Xu Qipeng's face, the chief doctor said, "After the parasite eggs hatch, they become embedded in blood vessels, flesh, and internal organs."

"The drug forcibly kills the parasite and dispels it out of the body, but the damage caused by the parasite cannot be cured. Without proper nourishment to cure the damage on the blood vessels, flesh, and internal organs, the patients may experience problems with their health in the future."

"It will take time for them to regain full health after they dispel the parasites out of their body. With weakened immunity and injured bodies, the patients might not be able to survive this extreme heat."

Xu Qipeng rubbed his brows tiredly as he listened to the chief doctor's explanation.

After a long silence, he finally made a decision and said, "I will find a solution. For now, please administer the medicine to the patients."

The chief doctor nodded, "Understood."

After sending the chief doctor away, Xu Qipeng ordered the military camp to be disinfected and everyone to have checkups.

While the soldiers were busy, the temperature kept rising. After the military hired ten thousand survivors to clean up garbage and burn corpses, the number of flies steadily decreased. Without flies to spread parasites, the number of survivors infected by the parasites dropped significantly.

The military also opened a military hospital for the public to treat parasitic infection patients. Thanks to the combined efforts of the army and survivors, the parasite infection was finally solved after killing more than one hundred thousand survivors.

Five days later, temperatures had reached 80 degrees Celsius.

When sunlight touches the skin, it burns immediately, causing blisters and destroying the nerves under the skin.

Due to high temperatures and contaminated water sources, many people died from thirst and heatstroke. In today's high temperatures, heat stroke equals death. The only positive outcome of the extreme heat was the end of the parasitic infection.

During those days, Sima Yun visited Yao Ran several times to get more medicine and disinfectant. Word spread about him selling the medicine in the surrounding community, and more people began coming to buy it from Sima Yun.
