Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 530: Disguise, Acting
The two female members nodded and said, "Yes, Eldest Young Lady."
After they agreed, Yao Ran took out various makeup products and turned to Jiang Chen. She smiled and said, "Captain Jiang, let me help you."
Although he wanted to refuse, Jiang Chen had no choice but to sit down and let Yao Ran apply the makeup.
Two hours later, Yao Ran and the two female team members successfully transformed the entire group into thin, sickly-looking prisoners. With the addition of tattered and dirty clothes, they were nearly indistinguishable from the ability users.
Meanwhile, at The Origin's headquarters, Shi Xuan was talking with the doctor.
"Doctor, please help me take care of them. These ability users were kidnapped by people working for The Ark. They might know something about The Ark. You must ensure they recover as soon as possible."
The doctor nodded and assured him, "You don't need to worry about them. Although all of them are suffering from malnutrition and some have mild fevers, with proper rest and care, they will recover within two weeks at the latest."
Hearing this, Shi Xuan felt relieved. He smiled and said, "That's good. I still have a mission to complete, so I will take my leave."
"Alright."
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Shi Xuan disappeared from the corridor. The nurses and other medical staff nearby were startled when they witnessed this.
One of the nurses asked with a hint of awe in her voice, "So he is the only combat-type spatial element ability user. It must be so convenient to be able to teleport everywhere like that."
Hearing her words, the doctor glanced at her and warned, "Stop gossiping. Be careful—someone might report you to the senior officers."
Realizing her mistake, the nurse quickly responded, "I'm sorry, Doctor. I will be more careful in the future."
Unaware that he had become the subject of gossip among the nurses, Shi Xuan reappeared beside Long Yu.
Looking at him, Long Yu asked, "How is it? Have you taken care of the ability users?"
Shi Xuan nodded and reported, "Yes. I sent them to the hospital, and the doctor is taking care of them. The doctor said they are all suffering from malnutrition, and most have mild fevers, but they will recover with rest and proper care."
After listening to his report, Long Yu said, "Good."
Seeing no movement from the abandoned building in the distance, Shi Xuan asked, "What about Yao Ran and the others? Have the kidnappers made their move?"
"Not yet," Long Yu replied.
Just as he spoke, the abandoned building's door suddenly opened.
Soon, Long Yu and Shi Xuan saw over a dozen armed men step out. Following behind them, Yao Ran, Jiang Chen, and the others were tied together with a rope and dragged forward.
Seeing this, Long Yu clenched his jaw and suppressed his anger.
Sensing his cold aura, Shi Xuan whispered, "Captain, remember our mission."
Long Yu glanced at him but said nothing.
Meanwhile, Yao Ran and the others obediently followed the kidnappers.
Noticing trucks parked nearby, Yao Ran raised an eyebrow and thought, 'Since they are using trucks instead of planes, their destination must not be too far. Could it be that The Ark's headquarters are actually nearby?'
One of the kidnappers noticed Yao Ran looking around and shouted at her. "What are you looking at?! Get in the truck!"
As he spoke, he shoved Yao Ran toward the old truck.
Remembering her role, Yao Ran pretended to be frightened.
"Ah!" She let out a startled cry and quickly said, "I'm getting in, I'm getting in. Please don't kill me."
Seeing her fearful expression, the kidnapper spat on the ground and shouted at the others, "Hurry up! If any of you dare waste time, I will kill all of you!"
While the kidnappers were busy loading supplies and oil drums into the other trucks, Jiang Chen climbed into the truck and sat beside Yao Ran.
Lowering his head slightly, he whispered, "Eldest Young Lady, your acting is really good. I almost got fooled just now."
Yao Ran chuckled at his words and whispered back, "To survive in a wealthy family, you need to master acting skills. This is just the basic requirement."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled and muttered, "I'm glad I don't need acting skills to survive."
Yao Ran simply smiled at his words, but she didn't take them seriously.
If Jiang Chen and the others didn't have acting skills, they wouldn't have been able to fool the kidnappers. With how healthy they looked, they would have been exposed in seconds. Their ability to act was crucial for successfully infiltrating the enemy's camp and replacing the prisoners.
Once everyone had boarded the trucks and the kidnappers had finished loading supplies, the leader ordered, "Move out."
With that, six trucks slowly left the abandoned building under the cover of darkness.
Watching them leave in the distance, Long Yu said, "Let's go."
"Yes, Captain."
Activating his wind element ability, Long Yu surrounded both of them in a wind barrier. Then, manipulating the air currents, he lifted them into the sky and followed the trucks.

At the same time, Shi Xuan created a large spatial blade beneath them, allowing them to sit while keeping an eye on the convoy below.
Noticing they had left The Origin's territory, Long Yu said, "A Xuan, update our location to headquarters."
"Yes, Captain."
While Long Yu controlled the direction, Shi Xuan activated the location tracker on his watch and sent a message to Xu Ruihan and Wu Yehao.
[Captain and I are following the kidnappers and the others. I will update our location in real time. You guys can map the route for now.]
After sending the message, Shi Xuan pulled a map from his backpack and began marking their path. Just then, his watch chimed with a notification.
Ding!
Shi Xuan put down the map and the pen and then opened the message, which was sent by Wu Yehao and Xu Ruihan.
