Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 532: Invisible Barrier Generator

Long Yu remained silent for a moment before explaining, "Those are newly developed weapons by The Ark. If I'm not mistaken, they use deformed monster cores as ammunition."

Shi Xuan frowned at his words and said, "I thought all deformed monsters perished when the tectonic plates shifted. They should have sunk to the ocean depths by now. Where could The Ark get any deformed monster cores now?"

Speaking up to this point, Shi Xuan suddenly paused. His eyes flickered with realization for a second before he asked, "Could it be that those weapons are just for intimidation and don't actually have ammunition?"

Long Yu shook his head and replied, "Judging by how The Ark operates, I'm sure those weapons are fully armed."

Hearing this, Shi Xuan frowned and muttered, "Besides deformed monster cores, what else could they use as ammunition?"

Long Yu glanced at him and responded, "Since deformed monster cores contain the same energy as ability users, why couldn't they substitute them with energy extracted from ability users?"

As soon as he said this, Shi Xuan's eyes darkened. "Captain, are you saying that they are extracting energy from ability users and using it as ammunition?"

Long Yu nodded. "Mhm. Based on how The Ark is usually operated until now, the possibility for this is very high."

Hearing this, Shi Xuan took a deep breath and asked again, "So, they are kidnapping ability users not just to steal their abilities but also to farm their energy?"

"Yes." Long Yu answered in a heavy tone.

Processing this revelation, Shi Xuan fell silent. Just as they were deep in thought while observing the soldiers below, the sound of footsteps approaching from behind the stone boulder caught their attention.

Long Yu said, "They are coming."

Quickly putting away his binoculars, Long Yu grabbed Shi Xuan, and both of them flew into the sky. Using his wind element ability, Long Yu created a wind barrier around them and then used the thick vegetation of the mountain as cover.

Moments later, the huge stone boulder began to shift to the side.

Druu~

As the kidnappers moved the stone boulder aside, they came out from the narrow tunnel one after another.

Leading the way, their leader commanded, "Keep moving."

While four men sealed the entrance behind them, the rest walked down the mountain. Their confident steps and familiarity with the terrain showed that they had done this countless times before.

Long Yu waited until they were far enough before pressing his watch and contacting Xu Ruihan.

Two seconds later, Xu Ruihan's calm voice came through. "Brother Long, have you found The Ark's headquarters?"

"Yes." Long Yu then sent his current location to Xu Ruihan and said, "Follow the map I sent. Be cautious, there are traps along the way."

"Understood."

After ending the call with Xu Ruihan, Long Yu also sent the map and their coordinates to Wu Yehao and The Origin's headquarters.

When he was done, he asked, "A Xuan, can you use your spatial element ability to create invisible barriers around us?"

"I can't," Shi Xuan admitted, then pulled a small ball from his backpack. "But I got this from Captain Wu before we left The Origin's headquarters."

Recognizing the device as an invisible barrier generator developed by The Origin, Long Yu gave Shi Xuan a thumbs-up.

Shi Xuan smiled, activated the device, and said, "It's ready."

With the invisible barrier activated around them, the two of them disappeared from there. Long Yu then grabbed Shi Xuan and manipulated the wind around them. As they followed Yao Ran and the others, The Origin's headquarters was filled with activity.

"Quick! Everyone, board the aircraft!" a staff member shouted, counting the soldiers as they climbed aboard.

While the troops boarded the aircraft, staff members checked the supplies and counted dispatched soldiers, while the technicians refueled the aircraft.

Standing by the second-floor railing, Fu Zongshang watched the organized staff, technicians, and soldiers below as he clenched his hands.

"This time, how many of them will make it back alive?" he asked grimly.

Standing behind him, Wu Yehao saluted him and responded with firm resolve, "I will bring them all back. No one will be left behind—dead or alive."

Fu Zongshang turned to look at him before returning the salute. Then, to Wu Yehao's surprise, he pulled him into a firm hug.

"Be careful and come back safely," Fu Zongshang said as he patted Wu Yehao's back.

Coming back to his senses, Wu Yehao also hugged Fu Zongshang and replied, "I will, Uncle Fu."

After he let go, Wu Yehao saluted the other senior officers. "I'm heading out now. Please take care, everyone."

With that, he turned and descended the stairs.

From the second floor, Fu Zongshang and the senior officers watched as Wu Yehao met Xu Ruihan in the distance. A quick nod passed between them before Wu Yehao commanded, "Move out!"

Following his order, the pilots closed the aircraft doors after Wu Yehao had boarded one of them.

"Open the gate," a staff member instructed over the walkie-talkie.

A second later, the soldier stationed at the entrance responded, "Roger that."

Before long, the massive gates creaked open. From the control tower, a male voice instructed, "Prepare for takeoff."

"Yes, sir." The pilots responded one after another.

Afterwards, the aircraft's engine started, and the staff directed the pilots to enter the take off route.

When the aircraft was in position, the pilot said through the communication device, "Requesting permission to take off."

A few seconds later, the control tower replied, "Permission granted."

After that, the aircraft soared into the sky one after another. Within ten minutes, the entire group had vanished beyond the horizon.

Fu Zongshang stood motionless for a while before turning to his assistant. "Prepare for a meeting in ten minutes."

The assistant quickly jotted his instruction down in his notebook and responded, "Yes, Commander Fu."

As Fu Zongshang and the senior officers prepared for their meeting, Yao Ran and the others had already descended the mountain. In the distance, an enormous fortified wall loomed before them.
