Natural Disaster Strikes: I Stockpiled Billions and Carved My Way Through the Apocalypse

As Mu Jiuyue turned around, her face was already beaming as she greeted her: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you at first. Long time no see!"

Mu Jiuyue gave Old Hou a look, and Old Hou nodded and turned to enter the cave.

Mu Jiuyue slowly walked to Wei Lie's side and joined him in supervising the construction team's work.

They could only find existing caves and reinforce them with steel bars and cement.

Wei Lie, on the other hand, created something out of nothing, picked a suitable location, and directly dug a cave!

Moreover, it's incredibly large, with small caves nested inside, like cave dwellers.

Wei Lie looked at Mu Jiuyue with a half-smile. Every move this woman made always seemed to precisely catch him off guard, but it was precisely because of this that he paid attention to her.

The moment he paid attention, Wei Lie immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.

As soon as I heard that she and her boss had abandoned their family and business to live in seclusion in the mountains, I knew something was wrong.

So he followed Mu Jiuyue's example, prepared a lot of supplies, and then traveled all the way to K City to become Mu Jiuyue's neighbor.

He was able to become the richest man in the area, so he must have been very smart. He noticed that Mu Jiuyue particularly liked his ring, so he specially had someone search the warehouse and find another box to test Mu Jiuyue's feelings.

"Want a drink?" Wei Lie pointed to the tent not far away.

"Sure." Since everyone's already here, there's no point in hiding anymore.

He readily agreed.

The two entered the tent, and someone brought them two cups of tea before they left.

Wei Lie knew that Mu Jiuyue was the type to not act until she saw a clear benefit, so he simply took out a box of rings and placed it on the table.

Mu Jiuyue was in a hurry to get it.

Wei Lie raised his hand to stop him: "Shall we talk?"

"Okay." Mu Jiuyue withdrew her hand and leaned back in her chair. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Why don't we talk about why you and your boss are hiding in this place?" Wei Lie asked casually. "Who are you hiding from? Hao Dahai, the richest man in K City?"

Mu Jiuyue's pupils suddenly contracted.

His fingers instinctively gripped the curved blade at his waist.

"Don't worry, he won't find you. I've cleaned up the traces for you." Wei Lie seemed not to have noticed Mu Jiuyue's little actions and said casually, "You are cautious, but not cautious enough. Your disguise can only fool the cameras, not technology and information. I have already had someone clean up the mess for you. Unless you are stupid enough to tell them, no one will know where that batch of gold went."

Mu Jiuyue's pupils dilated in shock. After a long while, she asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want from me?"

"Do you know that this batch of gold doesn't actually belong to Hao Dahai? It was temporarily held by Hao Dahai for some organization." Wei Lie poured tea for Mu Jiuyue: "Because of you, Hao Dahai is in a terrible situation. He had four fingers chopped off."

"What's it to me?" Mu Jiuyue replied coldly.

"Hahahaha, well said." Wei Lie laughed heartily. "I'm just a little curious, how did you manage to take so much gold with you? If you had an organization or team behind you, that would be understandable. But as far as I know, you've always been a lone wolf. Even your boss didn't have that ability."

"It has nothing to do with Lao Hou, I did it myself. As for how I did it, I have no comment." Mu Jiuyue accepted Wei Lie's favor and didn't waste any words, saying directly, "I know what you want to know. Well then, believe what I'm about to say or not."

"In a week, the apocalypse will come. First, there will be a high temperature and drought, with the temperature soaring to sixty degrees Celsius in an instant, and then gradually rising to eighty degrees Celsius. The plants outside will be almost completely wiped out, with none surviving. Except for the plants in the ocean, there will be no greenery on land."

"Then came torrential rain, torrential rain for a full six months. It was as if the sky had a leak, and floods were everywhere. Coastal cities were wiped out, and some small countries were destroyed. Then came the severe cold, with temperatures suddenly dropping to minus fifty degrees Celsius, and then gradually dropping to around minus one hundred degrees Celsius. Another wave of people died."

"Further on the list are toxic smog, acid rain, sandstorms, earthquakes, tsunamis, polar days, and polar nights..."

At first, Wei Lie's expression was relaxed and at ease.

But as Mu Jiuyue continued talking, Wei Lie involuntarily sat up straight, his face turning ashen: "Are you kidding me? How come I haven't heard a single thing?"

"How would I know? I'm just guessing." Mu Jiuyue retorted, "Maybe I'm just talking nonsense? I'm just a post-apocalyptic survival enthusiast, and I brought my boss, who shares the same hobby, here to experience life, is that not allowed?"

Wei Lie stared intently at Mu Jiuyue, then suddenly turned and rushed out, finding his subordinates and issuing several orders in succession.

Every instruction concerns the direction of his career, and every instruction relates to his future survival.

Mu Jiuyue finished her tea and prepared to leave.

Wei Lie called out to her, "Mu Jiuyue, shall we cooperate? I can provide you with all the supplies you want. At the moment, I can still do that."

Mu Jiuyue hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want your kind of rings, the more the better. And gold, the more the better."

Wei Lie didn't ask Mu Jiuyue what she needed these things for, but simply agreed: "Okay, no problem, I'll have someone pack them up and send them all to you today."

"Thank you." Mu Jiuyue nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Wei Lie watched Mu Jiuyue's retreating figure, took a deep breath, resolutely turned around, and signed the most important document.

He decided to sell all his assets.

If the end of the world had not come.

He really lost out big time.

However, he inexplicably trusted his intuition and believed in Mu Jiuyue.

That evening, Wei Lie came to find Mu Jiuyue and handed her two boxes filled with rings, saying, "Gold is too heavy, it probably won't be able to be delivered until tomorrow. Also, I received some news that a comet will pass by our planet in about seven days."

Mu Jiuyue's gaze darkened.

It turned out to be the case.

The apocalypse was brought about by this insignificant little comet.

Wei Lie saw Mu Jiuyue's expression, nodded, and said, "I don't know what else you need, but to show my sincerity in cooperating, I have prepared some supplies for you."

After he finished speaking, someone brought over a large pile of compressed biscuits, glucose, biscuits, ham, and mineral water.

These are all very important survival supplies.

"Thanks." Mu Jiuyue did not refuse the kindness: "I hope our two families can get along well and cooperate harmoniously."

Wei Lie nodded and left with his men.

The project next door has sped up again, and everyone is working around the clock in shifts.

Old Hou, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, was squatting on the newly built stove, testing the pots. When he saw Mu Jiuyue come in, he asked, "Is that person reliable?"

“It’s reliable at the moment,” Mu Jiuyue said. “If both sides have sufficient supplies, a cooperative relationship is possible.”

After thinking for a moment, Lao Hou understood what Mu Jiuyue meant.

"The stove is all set up and ready to use once it's completely dry," Old Hou said. "These next few days, we'll go get some more firewood or charcoal; that would make it more interesting."

"Okay," Mu Jiuyue replied casually.
