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

"By the way, Ajiu, where did you learn all those fancy words?" Lin Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"I learned it from books," Mu Jiuyue replied. "Don't you guys read books?"

Lin Zhen and the others were at a loss for words when it came to complaining.

Who reads this kind of book for no reason?!

"In Taoism, Tai Sui holds a very high position. It is a deity who specifically governs the fortunes of the human world for a year. So what we usually refer to as being in the Tai Sui year, clashing with Tai Sui, or being punished by Tai Sui is this Tai Sui. Isn't this tomb from the Han Dynasty? Think about it, during the Han Dynasty, wasn't Taoism, Confucianism, and various other beliefs in immortals prevalent?"

“That makes sense!” Lin Zhen and the others nodded in agreement.

"So, since Tai Sui has gained sentience, it naturally continues the mainstream thought of the Han Dynasty. As a disciple, isn't it only right that I ask the Ancestor to do something for me?" Mu Jiuyue asked in return.

Lin Zhen and the others were speechless and gave Mu Jiuyue a thumbs up.

This thought process is incredible!

"Alright, let's hurry up and go up. Don't keep Wei Lie waiting." Mu Jiuyue cleaned up the mess and led the group away quickly along the way they came.

What she didn't know was that as soon as they left, the departing Tai Sui returned, standing where Mu Jiuyue had just been, lost in thought.

They stumbled and fell when they arrived, but left smoothly.

Mu Jiuyue and her group arrived at the entrance of the tomb without incident, where Yu Shi and the others had been waiting for a long time.

When Yu Shi saw Mu Jiuyue and the others return unharmed, his eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly concealed them.

"Let's go back quickly." Yu Shi greeted them warmly: "I heard some noise outside, it seems like something happened."

Mu Jiuyue nodded, took the rope, and immediately climbed up.

Lin Zhen nodded politely to Shi Ke and said, "Thank you, Young Master Yu."

"We're all on the same side, it's only right," Yu Shi replied with a smile.

Everyone went up one by one.

The moment Mu Jiuyue landed, she heard Wei Lie's resolute voice from not far away: "Don't come any closer! If you dare to take a step forward, I'll die with you!"

Mu Jiuyue looked up abruptly and saw that Wei Lie's body was covered with explosives, and he was holding a lighter, ready to ignite the explosives on his body.

Not far away on the opposite side, a group of people suddenly appeared, eyeing Wei Lie menacingly and closing in step by step!

"Wei Lie!" Mu Jiuyue called out.

Wei Lie was overjoyed: "You're up here? Are you all alright?"

At this moment, Lin Zhen also arrived, and he and his men immediately raised their weapons and aimed them at the people opposite them.

"Who is the other party?" Mu Jiuyue asked, frowning.

“I’m ashamed to say it was my father who brought people from the Southwest Shelter,” Wei Lie replied casually. “He also wanted to take me back with him to squeeze every last drop of value out of me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd opposite him, looking at him with a face full of disappointment and said, "Wei Lie, what are you saying? As your father, what's wrong with me bringing you home? What kind of life is this outside? It's dangerous everywhere. Is it wrong for me to worry about you? You're not only starving and freezing with these people, living a life of constant wandering, but you're also risking your life for them. They're scheming against you, using you!"

Wei Lie scoffed, "Chairman Wei, you're joking. I'm almost thirty; that kind of talk is useless against me now. Isn't the one who's most trying to scheme against me the very one you are?"

Just then, another woman stepped out of the group; she had a graceful figure and was alluring.

“Mr. Wei, if you wish to catch up with your son, you can return to the Southwest Shelter and talk at your leisure. Right now, it’s time to take back the gold that rightfully belongs to us.” The woman spoke slowly, “You came out of the tomb, so you must have already obtained the gold. Hand over the gold, and I will spare your lives!”

The moment Mu Jiuyue's gaze fell upon the other party, her killing intent suddenly and uncontrollably erupted!

Her body moves faster than her brain.

He charged forward, wielding his curved sword.

Ding ding ding ding ding.

In just over ten seconds, they exchanged blows more than thirty times.

The two fought fiercely, evenly matched!

With a final blow, the two quickly separated!

Mu Jiuyue slipped on the sand, creating a five-meter gap between them.

"Who are you?" The woman looked up at Mu Jiuyue: "You are very strong, qualified to be my opponent."

Mu Jiuyue smiled.

Doesn't she recognize herself?

Oh, that's right too.

She naturally doesn't recognize herself now.

Because the one who knows me is her from my past life!

Her name is Xue Yuan, a renowned and ruthless killing machine in the apocalypse, and also her nemesis from her past life.

He became one of the last two thousand survivors only because he killed Xue Yuan.

However, he also paid the price of nearly becoming paralyzed.

In the final battle, Xue Yuan slashed her own spine with a single blow, narrowly avoiding the possibility of never being able to stand up again.

But he was still a little faster than her in the end, slit her throat, and became one of the last two thousand survivors.

If you ask why they became sworn enemies, it's simple: they have different paths and cannot work together. It's all about fighting for territory, food, and troops.

I was working with a very strong team, and we supported each other in the apocalypse, so we were doing alright.

But then one day, Xueyuan appeared.

The team he was working with betrayed him, pushing him into the abyss.

Xue Yuan inherited her wealth and status, becoming the most sought-after female assassin.

Having been given a second chance at life, he would never forgive her again.

Since she's in the Southwest Shelter, I'll have to go there sooner or later and let her taste the bitterness of betrayal.

Mu Jiuyue slowly stood up, her face expressionless, and said, "Wei Lie is my man, and no one can bully him. Not even my own father!"

The words fell.

Wei Lie's gaze towards Mu Jiuyue was incredibly intense.

He was so moved that he burst into tears.

Because of Mu Jiuyue's words, Wei Lie swore to follow Mu Jiuyue for life and never betray her!

When Wei Lie's biological father saw that Mu Jiuyue's skills were no less than Xue Yuan's, his attitude immediately changed, and he said with a smile, "Wei Lie, is this your friend? We're all on the same side, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

After saying that, he turned to Mu Jiuyue and said, "Gao Yi's batch of gold was all kept safe for us. He hid the gold here, and we're just here to retrieve our own things. We have no intention of being your enemy. How about we each take a step back?"

Mu Jiuyue's eyes flickered: "Yours? What proof do you have? You're just trying to rob me with empty words?"

“Of course there is evidence. Our gold bars are all stamped with the character ‘Rong’ on them,” Wei Lie’s father immediately said. “If you don’t believe me, you can take a look now.”

What a coincidence?

All of Gao Yi's gold belongs to this old bastard?

Even if it was originally his, it's now mine. There's no reason to spit out gold that's already been swallowed!

Just as Mu Jiuyue was about to deny it to the death, Yu Shi spoke up: "You all saw it too, we just crawled out of the tomb, all covered in dust and dirt, and we even lost a team. We didn't see any gold at all. If you don't believe me, we'll strip naked and show you. The gold you want is still underground. If you want it, just go and take it."
