Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 468

Yao Ran’s ears were buzzing as she watched as the ground split open, mountains collapsed, and mega tsunamis surged inland, consuming everything in their path.

Their military transport aircraft jolted violently from the shockwave, causing them to lose their altitude.

Shi Xuan clenched the control sticks tightly, pulled them, and shouted, "Hold on!"

Fighting against the turbulence, he does his best to fly the aircraft higher. The violent shaking made everyone’s heart pound fast as fear stuck in their throats.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The alarm blared continuously, and the red warning lights flashed intensely. At this moment, Yao Ran’s watch beeped again as another emergency warning message flashed on the screen.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

She pressed the button, and another urgent message appeared.

[Impact confirmed! The asteroid has struck the western hemisphere! All personnel proceed to designated coordinates immediately!]

The moment she finished reading the warning, the turbulence finally lessened as the military transport aircraft reached 13,000 meters—almost its maximum altitude.

Yao Ran looked out the window, and her heart sank. Even at this height, she could clearly see the massive planetary crack below.

Beside her, Jia Xiang spoke in a heavy tone. "Even the mountains have collapsed."

Staring at the devastated landscape below, Yao Ran clenched her fists but remained silent. Soon, the mega tsunami waves reach inland, surging relentlessly and swallowing everything blocking their paths.

After more than forty minutes, the intense tectonic plate collision activity finally subsided. Seeing that the shockwave had eased, Shi Xuan controlled the military transport aircraft and gradually descended to an altitude of 7,000 meters.

While Shi Xuan controlled the aircraft, Long Yu picked up the communication device. Pressing the button, he said, "This is Long Yu. Can anyone hear me?"

He repeated the call multiple times but received no response. Clenching the device tightly, he tried once more. "This is Long Yu. Is anyone alive? Please respond."

Following his words was another long silence. Just as he was about to give up, static crackled through the device. Then, a familiar voice cut through.

"This is Xu Ruihan. We are still alive."

The moment Xu Ruihan’s voice came through, a collective sigh of relief swept through the cockpit. At least some of their friends had survived.

A few seconds later, more voices started responding, confirming that others had also made it.

As they flew toward the coordinates of their new destination, Yao Ran noticed something. Looking down, her eyes widened as she watched the land crack apart before crumbling and swallowing into the ocean.

Crash! Boom!

Before she could react, another mega earthquake struck the planet.

Crack~! Du~ ruru~! Crack!

Through the communication device, Shi Xuan said urgently, "Everyone, hold on!"

Taking out a pair of long-range binoculars, she scanned the ground below.

The violent tectonic plate collision had ended, but what followed was relentless cracking and sinking of the ground. Potholes covered the ground everywhere, making it almost impossible to find a safe landing site.

After nearly an hour of searching, Long Yu finally spotted a relatively flat area without any major cracks or potholes.

He turned on the communication device and said, "There is a flat area twenty kilometers ahead. Let’s land there and refuel."

A moment later, the other pilots responded.

"Roger that."

With that, Shi Xuan flew the military transport aircraft toward the flat area and began a slow descent. As the aircraft finally landed and the propellers gradually came to a stop, Yao Ran unbuckled her seatbelt and followed Jia Xiang to get out of the aircraft.

The moment her feet touched the ground, she felt unsteady. Frowning slightly, Yao Ran looked down at the ground beneath the military transport aircraft and noticed that it was sinking. Her expression darkened at this sight.

After thinking for a moment, she stepped forcefully on the ground a few times.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Lifting her foot, Yao Ran saw that the ground had visibly sunk beneath her footprint.

Having a bad premonition, she pressed the communication device and warned, "The ground is too unstable to support the planes. We need to refuel and leave as soon as possible."
