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

Chapter 31: Growing Vegetables



Squatting on the balcony, Yao Ran took out several planting pots and soil, as well as a few sprouted potatoes. She then cut the potato sprouts, mixed wood ash with water, coated the cut edges, and planted the potatoes into pots.

Yao Ran planted 20 pots of potatoes on the spacious balcony. When she was done with the potatoes, she planted several pots of garlic, green onions, rapeseed, cabbage, water spinach, and chicken feather vegetables. She then used some hollow hooks to hang the pots on the iron railing.

After filling the balcony with planting pots, Yao Ran went to an empty bedroom. Seeing that the bedroom had no windows, she decided to grow mushrooms there.

The mushrooms tasted great, with a meaty flavor and texture. They are also rich in fiber and contain vitamins, zinc, potassium, and micronutrients.

In a world where food is scarce, and it is hard to grow fresh vegetables or fruits, mushrooms are very popular as vitamin and mineral supplements. Yao Ran bought many tools and growing kits for growing mushrooms in Haicheng City before, and she can use them now.

The easiest way to grow mushrooms indoors is to use pre-inoculated logs. The mushrooms can be harvested in ten days, and once harvested, she can let them grow naturally before harvesting again. The high-quality mushroom-growing kit she purchased allows the pre- inoculated logs to grow mushrooms for several years.

Yao Ran cleaned the room first and then took out several mushroom-growing kits. She placed the pre-inoculated logs around the room and planted a variety of mushrooms, including oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, white mushrooms, and black poplar mushrooms.

She then covered the logs with clean burlap to maintain moisture. After she was done, Yao Ran went to another empty bedroom.

In the second room, she planted tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, hot peppers, and other vegetables. After adjusting the light and temperature, Yao Ran closed the door.

When she came out, it was raining heavily outside. She went to the balcony and looked out.

Seeing that the tornado had disappeared, Yao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she saw that the water level had reached the entrance of the Ling Yuan apartment complex, she decided to seal the drain with cement.

It's better to prepare early rather than wait for water to rush into her house through the drains. Just thinking about the mess and the smell made her shudder.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After she finished, Yao Ran went to the space to take a quick shower. After so many days, she had accumulated a lot of time. Every day, twelve hours are automatically added to the remaining time.

Yao Ran took five minutes to shower and then quickly left the space. She needs to save and accumulate time for emergencies.

Coming out of the space, she sat on the bed and picked up her phone to surf the Internet. The hottest topics are the once-in-a-century torrential rains and the sudden appearance of tornadoes in many cities. Many people complained, some cursed, and some gloated at other's misfortune.

Looking at the comments on the post, there was no ripple in her heart. This is only the beginning, and people still have a bottom line. When order and law crumble, human beings will change. Their inner demons and true selves will emerge, and that is when the hell in the world begins.

Yao Ran closed the browser and opened the community chat group. Many people are talking about the food stored in their homes, and some even take photos and videos to show off.

Yao Ran chuckled and muttered, "Idiot."

Once food shortages threaten people's lives, these people will become prime targets for theft. Among those who show off their wealth, some people in the chat group are asking for help. Almost all of them are young people who rely on food delivery when they are hungry.

These people spend money lavishly on everything else, but they never cook. They have fashionable clothes, cosmetics, bags, shoes, and face masks at home but nothing to eat. Although today is only the first day of the end of the world, some people already have nothing to eat. The government issued warnings early on, but not everyone followed the instructions, leading to the current situation.

Yao Ran read the chat for a while before going to sleep. In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the faint sounds of screams downstairs.

She got out of bed, opened the thick curtains, and saw several bodies floating in the murky water below before they were swallowed by the whirlpool and disappeared.

Judging from their tattered clothes and blackened bodies, these people should have been electrocuted to death after coming into contact with water. Water levels were rising again compared with a few hours ago, and rainwater had already flooded the first floor of the apartment building.

Yao Ran took out the night vision binoculars and observed the surrounding situation. Seeing that the screams had just now woken many people, she pulled down the curtains and put away the binoculars.

She returned to bed, turned on her phone, and checked the group chat. As she expected, everyone was talking about what had just happened.

[0501: Did anyone see what just happened?]

[0203: I saw it! My God! It's really terrible! A group of young people died just like that!]

[1202: It's raining so heavily outside. What do you think about when you go out at night? Does the rain flood your brain?]

[0701: Upstairs, be careful with what you say. You never know when you will be forced to go out due to circumstances.]

[0904: Does anyone have medicine at home? My son has a fever. Please help me. I'd pay double- no, triple the market price!]

Yao Ran read the chat for a while and then switched to the news online.

After the water level rose, many requests for help appeared on the Internet. Unfortunately, the overwhelming number of new posts quickly submerged the requests.
