Completing his task as a guide, the man said, "Brother Chen, I still need to guard the entrance, so I will leave first."

Chen Zizhen nodded. "Thank you."

Before leaving, the man nodded to Yao Ran and Long Yu and said, "See you later, Miss Yao and Brother Long."

After the man left, Chen Zizhen stepped aside to let Yao Ran and Long Yu in. "Please come in, Miss Yao, Brother Long."

The others saw Yao Ran and Long Yu coming and quickly moved to free up space for them. Closing the door, Chen Zizhen smiled apologetically and said, "The room is small, so I hope you two don't mind sitting on the floor."

Yao Ran nodded to the others and replied, "That's fine."

After everyone took a seat, Chen Zizhen introduced Yao Ran and Long Yu to the others.

"Everyone, this is Miss Yao Ran and Brother Long Yu. Thanks to them, we can eat enough and recover from our illness."

When the others heard this, they turned to Yao Ran simultaneously.

A woman in her thirties smiled excitedly and gratefully said, "Thank you, Miss Yao, for providing us with medicine. Without your timely help, my husband would have died from the lung disease."

Hearing this, Yao Ran calmly replied, "I only fulfilled my part of our agreement."

Knowing that Yao Ran must have a reason for her visit, Chen Zizhen asked, "Miss Yao, what brings you here today?"

Turning to him, Yao Ran answered, "I came to check on everyone and deliver more supplies." When Chen Zizhen heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before Yao Ran and Long Yu arrived, they had been discussing this matter.

Although the base had promised to provide food and water twice every day, they were unsure how much they would receive or how it would be distributed. It would be a problem if the base provided only equal portions to each household rather than accounting for the number of family members.

Fortunately, with Yao Ran's visit, they don't need to worry about food and medicine for a while.

As for water, they had three water element ability users who could supply their daily drinking water. Although the water wasn't enough for them to take a bath, they could go to the public bathhouse after saving some base coins.

With this in mind, Chen Zizhen looked at Yao Ran and said, "Miss Yao, you have arrived at just the right time. Following your instructions, we have used up the supplies you gave us a few days ago, and we are discussing how to find more supplies."

Yao Ran wasn't surprised when she heard what he said. She had already calculated how long the supplies would last when she gave them to them.

Looking at Chen Zizhen and the others' complexions, Yao Ran knew that the diluted lake water's healing properties had likely restored their health.

After a moment of silence, Yao Ran asked, "Do you have a place to store the new supplies?"

Chen Zizhen thought for a moment before replying, "We can use one of the living units allocated to us as a warehouse."

When he said this, the others nodded in agreement.

Seeing that nobody rejected his idea, Yao Ran said, "Can you take me to the warehouse?"

"Sure," Chen Zizhen replied. He then turned to the others and said, "We will discuss the matter regarding those people later."

"Yes," they responded in unison.

After the others left, Chen Zizhen said, "Miss Yao, Brother Long, please come with me."

As they followed him, Yao Ran asked, "Were you guys discussing the people from the other group?"

Chen Zizhen nodded, realizing she was already aware of the dispute. He sighed and explained, "Yes. The other group wanted us to join them, but I refused. If not for Brother Yuan's help, we wouldn't have been able to stay here."

Feeling curious, Yao Ran asked, "What did Yuan Rihui do to make the other group listen to him?"

Chen Zizhen glanced around before replying in a low voice, "I think Brother Yuan tricked them."

Raising an eyebrow, Yao Ran asked with a hint of interest in her voice, "Tricked them? What do you mean by that?"

Chen Zizhen leaned closer and said, "I accidentally saw Brother Yuan give their leader a small glass vial containing clear water. I don't know what he told them, but when Brother Yuan left, the leader treated him like an ancestor."

Hearing this, Yao Ran and Long Yu exchanged glances. They quickly realized that the small glass vial must have contained the lake water she had given Yuan Rihui a few days ago.

Given the healing effect of the lake water, it is no wonder that the leader of the other group treated Yuan Rihui with such reverence.

With every human undergoing mutations and suffering from deformities, a cure that could reverse deformation and enhance ability levels would become a powerful tool in the new world-one that countless people would fight over.

Yao Ran smiled faintly, certain that it wouldn't be long before Ling Yi and Yuan Rihui rose to power as prominent figures at the end of the world.

Noticing the faint smile on her lips, Long Yu could guess what was on her mind. He leaned closer and whispered, "Seems like your plan is processing smoothly."

Yao Ran glanced at him and chuckled softly before replying in a whisper, "Yes. I guess that Yuan Rihui will visit us in the next few days."

As the two whispered to each other, Chen Zizhen spoke up, "Miss Yao, Brother Long, this is the warehouse."

Taking out a key, Chen Zizhen unlocked the door and revealed an empty room.

Noticing that the room was the same size as Chen Zizhen's residence, Yao Ran assessed it briefly and said, "This place is good enough."

With a wave of her hand, she retrieved various supplies from her space: bags of rice, flour, cured meat, dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, and several boxes of canned food.
