Chapter 381: Connected

Shi Xuan raised his hand in agreement and said, "I think Yao Ran is right. It will be too chaotic and time-consuming if we wait to be relocated with the others. We have the villa, so we can just go back there."

After he said that, Chen Zizhen then asked, "Miss Yao, what about our people living in Sector F?"

Sector F residents were formerly slum dwellers. If they left the underground shelter, they would likely return to the slums, making it inconvenient for everyone to communicate as they live in separate places.

Yao Ran thought for a moment and turned to Ling Yi. "Boss Ling, can you help me with something?"

Ling Yi smiled, "What do you need, Miss Yao?"

"Can you lead Chen Zizhen and the others back to A Yu's place?" she asked.

Ling Yi raised an eyebrow at her words. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Miss Yao, are you leaving the base?"

Yao Ran nodded. "I never planned to stay here permanently. I initially came for business. Now that the sandstorm has ended, it's time for me to leave."

Ling Yi rubbed his chin and thoughtfully said, "Since you are leaving, you could lead them yourself. Why ask for my help?"

He paused for a second before adding, "Unless... you are not going back to the air raid shelter."

Yao Ran glanced at Li Tianyu after hearing Ling Yi's speculations. After learning that Du Zhaoyi was a member of The Ark from Yuan Rihui, she wouldn't let Li Tianyu know her next plan until she was certain he wasn't one of Du Zhaoyi's subordinates.

With that in mind, Yao Ran asked, "If I'm not going back there, where else could I go?"

"Then why did you ask me to send Brother Zhen and the others?" Ling Yi questioned doubtfully.

Yao Ran smiled and explained, "When we return this time, there will be more than 200 people from Chen Zizhen's team. Including your men, the convoy will have over 300 people."

"Neither A Yu, Shi Xuan, nor I have enough vehicles to accommodate this many people. If I didn't ask for your help with transportation, who else could I turn to?"

After listening to her explanation, Ling Yi nodded in understanding. He smiled and said, "Miss Yao is right. Since you trust me, you can leave this matter to me. When do you want to leave?"

"Tomorrow morning," Yao Ran replied calmly.

At this, Yao Ran and Long Yu exchanged glances. Now that they knew Du Zhaoyi was a member of an influential family in Shoudu City, they were not surprised to learn that he was also a member of The Ark.

Recalling the documents she had found in her grandfather's safe, Yao Ran's eyes flickered for a second. Connecting all the clues she had gathered so far, she suddenly realized something. Lowering her eyes, she thought, 'Now, everything makes sense. The name list included a man with the surname Du, who Yao Yuechuan identified as a senior officer of The Ark. Du Zhaoyi must be related to that man.'

'With his identity as a member of the Du family and The Ark, his actions to consolidate power at Juncheng Military Base make sense. Since Uncle Xu holds the most authority in the base, Du Zhaoyi would naturally target him first.'

'If that's the case, I should stay here and use Du Zhaoyi to uncover The Ark's plans and the reason for them to do the human experiment. But to do that, I might have to wrong Uncle Xu slightly.'

While she was lost in thought, Li Tianyu continued, "I also found that, apart from the deformation medicine purchased from Miss Yao, Commander Du only distributes supplies to those directly under his command."

"What about everyone else?" Long Yu asked, his face darkening.

Li Tianyu sighed and replied, "This is the reason why I decided to join your team. Other than Commander Du's subordinates, the rest only receive a small piece of bread and 200 ml of water per day. If not for Li Zhen secretly sharing half of his team's rations with us, we'd be starving to death by now."

Recalling the meals he'd had at the air raid shelter, Li Tianyu unconsciously swallowed. Noticing his small action, Long Yu's eyes darkened.
