The Beginning of Natural Disaster, I Won by Hoarding Tens of Billions of Supplies

Chapter 598: Sister Ning, Show Time

Since they couldn’t approach her easily, so many people set their sights on Rong Sanshao. 

But Rong Sanshao was born for this kind of work. 

Having been in Fengcheng for so long, he could tell who’s human, who’s a ghost, and who’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He knew it all like the back of his hand. 

His only sister was not someone just anyone could get close to, especially those flashy, cheap women—no chance. 

He carefully manages the situation, bringing in those who need to be, pushing away those who should be, and maintaining important relationships, all of which Rong Sanshao does effortlessly. 

In short, he was the only one qualified to be his sister’s right-hand man. 

After the moth infestation, Jiang Ning realized that she and Huo Yishen really did need someone like him. 

Rong Sanshao, who received the praise, almost teared up. He had finally found his own stage. 

The ship transfer wasn’t done yet, so Jiang Ning was enjoying some time at home, only to discover that Bai Xue was pregnant again. 

The dog was especially proud and came over wanting a reward. 

Jiang Ning had long gotten used to it, neither happy nor sad—those early joys were long gone. 

People were like that, once you have more grandchildren, the excitement of having one fades. 

That evening, Rong Sanshao came over to bum a meal. “Sister, this time, you really are treating me.” 

Jiang Ning wasn’t stingy; not only was there plenty of meat and fish, but she also threw the keys to the Hummer his way. “When your brother-in-law and I aren’t around, if you need something, you can drive it.” 

But don’t get too cocky, after all, even his superior could only walk. They’d only apply for the car in an emergency. 

Sure enough, the car key was more of a treasure than ten free meals. 

Rong Sanshao’s mouth was practically watering as he excitedly said, “Thanks, sister! I knew you’d treat me the best.” 

Seeing him so satisfied, Jiang Ning thought that once the environment calmed down, she could get him a car as a reward. Wouldn’t that make his day? 

At home, they didn’t talk about anything beyond family matters. 

“Sister, the guy who died was a stranger, he’s only been at the base for a short time. If it wasn’t planned, there’s no way he would have had the guts to poison the medicine.” 

The work was flawless, and the person behind it had a lot of power. 

The key thing was, if the poison really got into the medicine, it could’ve killed someone. 

If that had happened, with the person behind it, Jiang Ning surely would’ve fallen from grace. 

She didn’t go looking for trouble, and fewer people dared to cross her. With her eyes closed, she could guess who it was. 

“Sister, he set the trap first. We have to find a way to get rid of him, or it’ll be endless trouble.” 

Jiang Ning thought so too, but the military was different from others—every high-ranking official had their own forces. 

Besides, everything was just a guess, with no solid evidence. Acting rashly would only make things worse. Who knew, the other side might already have a trap set for her? 

When facing a powerful enemy, if there’s no guarantee of a decisive blow, you can’t act recklessly. 

Plans differed, and so did the scope of thinking. 

Jiang Ning had grown a lot in Fengcheng Base, now she thought ten steps ahead before acting, no longer just charging in headfirst like she did before. 

She now played the game like chess, removing the opponent from the board rather than blowing up the board she relied on. 

But she had learned from experience and knew to stay extra cautious in the future. 

The one who can’t hold back is always the one to lose. 

Jiang Ning wasn’t in a hurry. She was still young—she could outlast them. 

Once the ship transfer was completed, Huo Yishen was promoted another rank to Commander. 

His promotion was as fast as a rocket, but no matter how much others envied, there was nothing they could do. After all, in the apocalypse, precious resources were scarce, and the salvage team always managed to find rare energy sources, so military achievements kept piling up. 

Huo Yishen’s promotion to Commander was followed by Jiang Ning’s successful promotion to at least Lieutenant Commander, and the two of them became known as a heavenly couple in Fengcheng. 

Looks, abilities, and combat power, they were far ahead of everyone else. 

In short, the couple became a sensation in Fengcheng. 

Why did they become so popular? 

Don’t ask, it’s all thanks to Rong Sanshao. He can turn dog poop into chocolate. 

After retrieving the oil resources, the special salvage team continues to recover the Fire Seed Containers. 

In the past six months of traveling back and forth, the pioneer detection team has located all the containers with coordinates, eliminating those that couldn’t be salvaged. In the end, only a dozen or so remained. 

Though they’re quite spread out, if nothing unexpected happens, two trips should be enough. 

As for the joint operation between the two cities, it will have to wait for the return of the operations staff to finalize. 

The day before departure, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen were called into the study. 

The investigation into the poisoning incident that happened during the moth infestation at the hospital has been stopped. 

Once something happens, it usually follows with more. The daughter and son-in-law both have high military ranks, and their popularity is at an all-time high. They didn’t rise step by step but rather landed with a golden ticket. 

They’re not without true skill, but their rapid rise left their foundation unstable, and now they’re facing jealousy and schemes from others. 

He hoped they’d stay safe. “The higher you rise, the colder it gets. The challenges will only get harder. Whatever happens, I hope you both think things through before acting.” 

Gu Tinglin admired Huo Yishen’s calm and composed nature but worried about his daughter’s impulsive temper. 

To achieve great things, they need to be tempered. 

No one knows their daughter better than her father. If this were a few years ago, if she encountered someone like Commander Xiao, a black-hearted smooth-talker, Jiang Ning wouldn’t hesitate to grab a knife and deal with him. 

But with age, experience, and a change in mindset, she’s become much calmer. 

As for Commander Xiao, he was just a stumbling block on Jiang Ning’s path to greatness. 

Without his military power, he was nothing. It would be easy to deal with him. 

Strike the snake at its weakest point—Jiang Ning kept him noted down. 

She wasn’t worried about herself; she feared he might set his sights on Doudou. 

Gu Tinglin notices her concerns and reassures her, “Don’t worry. I’m here at home. You two be careful on the sea.” 

Back at home, Huo Yishen gave his sister a few words of advice. 

The next day, Doudou drove them to the dock, and the ruthless couple waved them off with a humph and a sigh. 

Jiang Ning sat on the speedboat, watching the figures on the dock, thinking that with how long this trip would take, by the time she returned, Bai Xue might have given birth. 

At the farewell, the heartless couple whimpered and clung to them, unwilling to let go. 

If it weren’t for the better future, Jiang Ning really wouldn’t want to leave, leaving Doudou to shoulder everything while Coke grew older each day. 

Huo Yishen understood her worries, holding her shoulder and gently comforting her. “Things will get better.” 

Aww, here we go again—they’re feeding us dog food! 

Huang Mao and the others were feeling a little bitter. After arriving at the submarine, they called out, “Sister Ning, want to join us for three-player mahjong?” 

Jiang Ning immediately abandoned her husband. “Sure!” 

The abandoned Huo Yishen, “… ” 

This trip was aimed at multiple targets, with five Fire Seed Containers coordinates in the sea and another one is located in the New Continent. 

The New Continent was vast, and the submarine team lacked both manpower and equipment, so they didn’t rush ashore. 

In other words, it’s up to the special salvage team to explore. 

After several sea trips, the team members’ submarine skills were top-notch, and with their wealth of experience, they repeatedly challenged the storms at sea. 

Jiang Ning was kept busy—either playing cards or sleeping. When they reached the coordinates, after the team checked for dangers, they called her out, “Sister Ning, it’s showtime.” 

After the pioneer team surveyed, the five Fire Seed Containers were easily salvaged and placed onto the transport ship. 

However, the route took too much time—almost a month and a half. 

Next, they headed toward the New Continent, the last stop of this trip. 

Hoping everything goes smoothly, and they can return home soon.
