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

Comment 7-2-501: "I heard this meteorite is global, and no place can escape it. Is this going to repeat the extinction of the dinosaurs?"

Immediately afterwards, someone anonymously posted: "I just came back from outside. There are fires everywhere. The fire trucks are smoking, and they can't save anyone. There's no way they can save anyone. A village was hit by a meteorite, and only three people survived."

The group chat fell silent instantly.

Everyone's feelings are complicated.

At this moment, someone sent Mu Jiuyue a private message: "Are you Xiao Mu?"

Mu Jiuyue replied: "Mm".

"I heard that you were helping people buy and deliver packages a while ago, and quite a few people have asked you to buy medicine for them. Could you buy some medicine for me?"

Mu Jiuyue refused without hesitation: "Sorry, I don't live in Happiness Community anymore, so I can't help you."

“I can add more money!” The other party sent a 50-yuan red envelope directly: “I really have no other choice. My parents are not home, I fell and got injured, and now I can’t get out of bed. I’m a girl too, don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”

Mu Jiuyue's lips twitched slightly.

If it were her past life, she would most likely have been unable to resist helping the other person.

But now, she has no conscience at all.

"I'll contact the property management for you and have them help you," Mu Jiuyue replied.

"Oh? Never mind then, no need."

Mu Jiuyue twitched the corners of her mouth again. Sure enough, she had guessed right.

the other side.

"So? Did she believe it?" someone asked anxiously.

"No, she said she doesn't live in Xingfu Community." The burly man holding the phone replied, "This young woman is quite vigilant. She's a young girl living alone, she should be the easiest to fool. I've been scouting her for months, but I didn't expect her to be so wary."

"Then let's move on to the next one!" someone said impatiently. "We're still three spots short this month. If we don't fill them soon, we're in big trouble!"

"Got it! Apartment 202 in Unit 1 of Building 8, seems to be a young woman living alone as well, but unfortunately she's not as pretty as the one surnamed Mu. But we don't have many other options at this point, so let's go with her."

"Okay, hurry up!"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Jiuyue posted a message in the owners' group: "It's a bit chaotic outside right now. If you have elderly people, children, or are a single woman at home, please be extra careful. Don't easily trust strangers and learn to protect yourselves."

Someone chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's definitely a bit chaotic right now. I heard there have been cases of people stealing cars in the street. We need to be careful."

Others disagreed: "It's people like you who stir up trouble that make relationships between men and women so tense. It's like we're all the bad guys."

Mu Jiuyue didn't care and casually slammed her phone face down on the table.

Not far away, the aroma of Lao Hou's stewed pork knuckle was already wafting over, making my mouth water.

Why think so much?

Began to eat!

For two consecutive days, the temperature rose steadily.

By noon, the temperature had reached 70 degrees Celsius.

A message from the meteorological bureau arrived on my phone: Temperatures have been soaring recently. Citizens are advised to take precautions against sun exposure, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and avoid going out during the day. Night shifts are recommended.

At this point, the higher-ups had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and simply thought it was an isolated incident.

Mu Jiuyue had already determined her next outing time based on the constantly rising numbers on the thermometer.

"Come over here in September and hand me a wrench," Old Hou called out from afar.

"Here it is." Mu Jiuyue carried a wrench, climbed up the scaffolding, and handed the wrench to Lao Hou: "These solar panels are enough, no need to add any more."

"Let's save up some electricity." Old Hou, sweating profusely and barely able to keep his eyes open, said, "Didn't you say that after the high temperatures comes torrential rain? We can't use solar power when it rains, so let's save it for then. We don't have many batteries, so we need to use them sparingly."

Mu Jiuyue immediately smiled: "Don't worry, we have as many batteries as you need, enough to last. Besides, we also have gasoline generators and diesel generators, don't we?"

“Those things are less if we use them a little, so it’s better to save them. Didn’t you say the apocalypse will last at least fifteen years? You won’t go broke from eating or drinking, but you will if you don’t plan ahead!” Old Hou tightened the last screw with all his might, so tired that he couldn’t speak. He looked like he had been pulled out of the water.

As soon as Lao Hou came down, Mu Jiuyue quickly handed him a glass of iced lemonade.

Old Hou downed his drink in one gulp, then gave Mu Jiuyue a thumbs up: "Your lemonade is the best! I've drunk so much lemonade, and yours is the best!"

Mu Jiuyue smiled and said, "Then I'll make you lemonade for the rest of my life!"

"That's great!" The two walked out chatting and laughing.

Old Hou is fourteen years older than Mu Jiuyue, and he is thirty-six this year.

He's not the type to be particularly handsome, but he's very stylish, the kind of guy that's considered a heartthrob among older men.

He took Mu Jiuyue home five years ago and has treated her like his own daughter ever since.

Even more so now.

As soon as I reached the entrance, I saw Wei Lie's secretary waiting outside the cave.

"Secretary Cao?" Mu Jiuyue went to greet him. "Did you need something?"

"We've brought back a lot of beef, mutton, and fresh pork from the grasslands. Would you like some?" Secretary Cao said with a smile. "As you know, this meteorite fire caused a huge disaster. The grasslands were in complete ruins. Herds of livestock died, and the farmers there suffered huge losses. We bought about 100,000 head of cattle and sheep, 100,000 adult pigs, and 10,000 piglets at a low price. They were just delivered today."

Mu Jiuyue's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

They really are rich and powerful!

How much does this cost?

Even if it's sold cheaply, it's still a lot of money.

Although Mu Jiuyue and Lao Hou had secretly ordered a thousand of them under the restaurant's name.

But who would complain about having too many supplies?

It's cheap now, but it'll be incredibly expensive later!

"How much will it cost?" Old Hou asked.

"Why don't you talk to General Manager Wei?" Secretary Cao said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go find him." Mu Jiuyue pulled out a can of tea from her spatial storage and strolled off to Wei Lie's cave.

Wei Lie had a small path specially built to connect the two caves, making it easier for them to travel back and forth.

But both of them valued their privacy, and the caves were actually quite far apart.

We walked for about fifteen minutes in the sweltering heat before finally reaching Wei Lie's cave.

This time, the cave is more luxurious and exquisite than the last time.

"Wow, Mr. Wei, you're really generous. Even your temporary residence is so beautifully decorated." Mu Jiuyue greeted him with a smile, handing the tea leaves in her hand to Wei Lie: "I know you don't lack anything, but this is a token of my appreciation."

Wei Lie accepted the can of tea and invited Mu Jiuyue to sit down.

“Things are chaotic abroad,” Wei Lie said as he poured tea for Mu Jiuyue. “Things are relatively stable in China for the time being because there are still people controlling the situation.”

"Hmm." Mu Jiuyue wasn't entirely unsurprised: "Shall we talk about the price?"

"No rush." ​​Wei Lie smiled. "I have a better way to cooperate. Would you like to hear it?"
