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

"Oh? How does the cooperation work?" Mu Jiuyue asked, holding her teacup.

“Your cave is only about 300 square meters. If you take away the area of ​​the house, the remaining open space is less than 200 square meters, right? And you still want to grow vegetables and flowers, which will take up the whole space, right?” Wei Lie looked up at her.

This woman is always fresh and new; there's always something about her that I can't quite understand.

"And then?" Mu Jiuyue looked at Wei Lie calmly.

“I know you must have a backup plan, and a very reliable one at that. Otherwise, where did you put all those supplies that you and Boss Hou prepared?” Wei Lie noticed the murderous intent in Mu Jiuyue’s eyes and immediately quickened his pace: “Don’t misunderstand, I have no intention of investigating your secrets, and I don’t want to fall out with you.”

“I just have a habit of spreading my eggs in several different baskets, and you are one of the baskets I’ve chosen. I would like to ask you to help me accept this batch of pork, beef, and mutton, and the cost will be one-tenth of the supplies.” Wei Lie immediately raised his hands to show his sincerity: “Although my cave here can hold these supplies, I can’t guarantee that I will have time to move them if an earthquake strikes. After all, they were bought with real money, and I would feel bad if they were lost.”

"Besides, leading such a large team incurs considerable daily expenses. Since they trust me and are willing to follow me, I can't let them suffer. Of course, as neighbors, we'll also extend our protection to you. This hilltop only has our two families; if you're in danger, I absolutely won't stand idly by!"

"Besides, with so many of my supplies tied up with you, you trust me more, don't you?" Wei Lie, as expected of a shrewd man who could make a comeback on his own, saw through Mu Jiuyue's wariness at a glance and immediately reassured her.

"Does President Wei trust me that much?" Mu Jiuyue retorted, "Aren't you afraid I'll embezzle it?"

"It doesn't matter! These supplies are just a small part of countless supplies to me. If you like them, I'll give them all to you. What I need more than these supplies is your timely information." Wei Lie spread his hands and said, "I just want to cooperate with you."

Mu Jiuyue lowered her eyes and thought for a long time.

Having such a formidable neighbor is both a good thing and a bad thing.

It's a good thing to have enough to eat and wear.

When you lack food and clothing, it's a bad thing.

If it were just Mu Jiuyue alone, she wouldn't be afraid; at worst, she could pack her bags and run away.

But she was still concerned about Old Hou.

Old Hou was just an ordinary man. He looked strong, but in the eyes of martial arts experts, he was just a good-for-nothing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have died such a pathetic death in his past life, getting his head smashed open by a group of thugs.

Old Hou treated her like his daughter, and she treated Old Hou like family.

"Okay." Mu Jiuyue readily agreed: "We can exchange what we have."

"I will take advantage of this final crucial moment to continue gathering supplies." Seeing that Mu Jiuyue agreed, Wei Lie continued, "There will be a steady stream of convoys coming here in the next few days. There are some supplies that are not suitable for public display, and I hope you can help me collect them as well."

"No problem." Mu Jiuyue extended her hand to Wei Lie: "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Wei Lie shook hands with Mu Jiuyue and noticed that the calluses on her hands were much thicker than when they last met.

It seems she's been stirring up quite a bit of trouble lately!

When evening came and it wasn't so hot, Mu Jiuyue took the keys Wei Lie had given her and drove back to the city.

Wei Lie booked an entire huge cold storage room, which was filled to the brim with all kinds of slaughtered, sorted, and packaged meat.

When Mu Jiuyue opened the cold storage door, she couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air!

My God!

That's 100,000 cows, 100,000 sheep, and over 100,000 pigs!

This amount of meat is enough for Wei Lie's team to eat for a hundred years!

This is only a portion of the supplies.

Gee tut.

What a day of resentment towards the rich!

Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Jiuyue waved her hand and began collecting various items.

The more I collect, the happier I get, because one-tenth of these are truly mine!

After receiving the last batch of goods, I turned around and went to the regular warehouse next door.

I opened the door and was stunned again.

This is a warehouse full of doomsday meals.

This is a package specially provided by Great Beauty Country for apocalypse enthusiasts. Each large package contains 30-year-old canned goods, jerky, vitamins, dried vegetables, water purification tablets, purified water, and a medical kit.

This thing won't break even if you leave it for thirty years.

This massive warehouse of doomsday packages is enough for Wei Lie's team to survive until the very end, even when they are at their wits' end.

Enough with the chit-chat, let's keep collecting.

No wonder Wei Lie's troops were so loyal to him; Wei Lie treated them very well.

After finishing with the last warehouse, Mu Jiuyue quietly left under the cover of night.

Half an hour later, someone came to check the warehouse and reported to Wei Lie: "Mr. Wei, everything is gone."

"Interesting, indeed very interesting." Wei Lie chuckled. "She really has a lot of secrets!"

"Should we follow them?"

"No, go back immediately, and don't let her find out."

"Yes."

The reason Mu Jiuyue no longer hides her superpower is because there's nothing left to hide.

We'll find out sooner or later.

Wei Lie is right.

That cave is so small, how much stuff could it possibly hold?

How do we explain things that suddenly appear later?

Especially when the ground is shaking violently outside, how do you explain how you managed to retrieve it unharmed?

Even if you guessed it, she'll never admit it anyway.

Mu Jiuyue walked alone on the quiet street.

The city streets have been cleared of the debris, and more and more people are starting to spend their nights out.

Everyone spontaneously began living a nocturnal lifestyle.

They stay home during the day to avoid the sun, and go out to work or run a business at night.

But prices are quietly skyrocketing.

The steamed buns that used to cost one yuan each now cost five yuan each.

This is still the result of government regulation.

Everyone now knows that this wildfire destroyed most of the crops, which means that this year's grain production will definitely be reduced.

Moreover, the situation is the same abroad; there is no grain available for import.

So everyone is secretly stockpiling goods, afraid that they might go hungry if they do anything.

Yes, that's a good thing.

A young couple walked by, and the girl complained to her boyfriend, "Why is food so expensive these days? We can't afford it anymore! Maybe we should just go back to our hometown!"

The boy comforted her, "It's okay, our country has plenty of food reserves. This is just temporary, and the price will come down sooner or later."

"But we've almost run out of money."

"I'll think of a way."

"Ok."

Mu Jiuyue listened to their conversation and couldn't help but smile coldly.

Will things get better in the future?

Will not.

It will only get worse.

Just as Mu Jiuyue was about to leave, someone grabbed her arm: "Xiao Mu? It really is you! When did you get back? Why aren't you home?"
