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

The third warehouse was full of dry goods.

Dried fruits, dried vegetables, seasonings, grains, beverages, medicinal foods, and preserved fruits.

There are also some high-value nutritional supplements, such as ginseng, bird's nest, and cordyceps.

The fourth warehouse was filled with all sorts of deep-sea fish, so many of them that Mu Jiuyue didn't recognize them.

The fifth warehouse was full of canned goods, all labeled in foreign languages. Mu Jiuyue had long forgotten her English from high school, so she could only barely make out the contents from the pictures. These canned goods were mostly survival food, mainly fish, fruit, and meat.

The sixth warehouse contained high-tech items, such as solar circuit boards and various chips. Mu Jiuyue didn't understand them but was greatly impressed.

The seventh warehouse was filled with medicines and medical supplies. Opening any box revealed painkillers bought from America—the kind that come in bottles of a thousand tablets. This was far more efficient than what she had collected.

The eighth warehouse was a whole warehouse full of ham and wine.

The ninth warehouse is overflowing with cigarettes from all over the world.

When Mu Jiuyue opened the tenth warehouse, she was immediately stunned.

It was filled with things that girls use.

There were clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and even some jewelry that could last a lifetime. The most bizarre thing was that there were also more than a dozen boxes as tall as a person, filled with sanitary napkins and overnight underwear.

This left Mu Jiuyue somewhat amused and exasperated.

After taking those, they opened the last warehouse belonging to Wei Lie, which contained all sorts of snacks that girls love.

Make sense.

Mu Jiuyue, in both her lifetimes combined, had never seen so many snacks.

That's a warehouse that covers 2,000 square meters and is 10 meters high; it's full of snacks.

She couldn't finish eating it even in ten lifetimes!

However, it must be admitted that Wei Lie's move was very effective and resonated with the audience.

With a smile on her lips, Mu Jiuyue took away the last warehouse.

Next, she's going to start buying things for free.

Hahahahahaha.

This time, she didn't even look at what was in the warehouse. Following the detailed list Wei Lie handed her, she opened the warehouse door and started collecting everything in a cool and efficient manner.

When I get back and have more time, I'll slowly organize and look at what I've collected.

Three hours can feel both fast and slow.

The moment the alarm clock sounded, Mu Jiuyue decisively finished packing up the last warehouse item and left without looking back.

Don't be greedy or get carried away in battle.

This is the secret to living.

Just half an hour after Mu Jiuyue left, a car rushed to the port, preparing to transport its goods ahead of schedule.

However, when he opened the warehouse and found it completely empty, he could no longer control his temper and jumped up on the spot: "If I find out who did this, I'll skin him alive!"

Meanwhile, Mu Jiuyue, radiating joy, drove away from the port.

On the way back, the temperature rose again.

Mu Jiuyue took her temperature, and it was already 73 degrees Celsius.

This temperature is no longer suitable for human survival.

So the streets were filled with wailing crowds and screeching ambulances flying everywhere.

This heatwave has likely claimed the lives of many elderly people.

However, high temperatures and drought are already the mildest form of natural disaster.

The real test will come during the coming cold snap.

Mu Jiuyue's car had already had two flat tires, so she had to find a place to rest temporarily and wait for it to get dark and the temperature to drop a little before she could continue on her way.

Mu Jiuyue found a five-star hotel.

When checking in, I was told that the hotel no longer accepts cash or bank transfers, and only accepts gold.

Fortunately, she didn't actually have much money, except for gold.

"The cost of one night's accommodation is ten grams of gold, meals not included. Two bottles of mineral water are free, and for each additional bottle, one gram of gold will be charged," the receptionist said listlessly.

"So expensive?" Mu Jiuyue asked in surprise, "When did water become so expensive?"

"We have the best quality spring water," the receptionist replied. "A bottle used to cost fifty yuan. But now that the weather is too hot, the spring water supply is dropping rapidly. We can only produce one hundred liters a day, and we don't know if it will continue to decrease. Even ordinary tap water is now being supplied on a limited-time basis."

"When did it start?" Mu Jiuyue was even more surprised.

Water supply control has only been in place for a few days due to the high temperatures?

"The notice was just issued yesterday. Water supply is limited to two hours a day at 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 6:00 PM. And this is a coastal city! Inland cities are only getting water once a day now." The receptionist scoffed, "I heard the weather is so hot that the crops in the fields have all died from the heat. There are fires everywhere. Sigh, is this the end of the world?"

Mu Jiuyue nodded thoughtfully, took the room key, and went to her room to rest.

The end times of this lifetime seem to be more intense than those of the previous one.

This time, things will probably be in complete chaos in less than three months.

No wonder the authorities are cracking down on this; if they don't, it will be too late.

Once inside the room, I quickly turned on the air conditioner, and it took more than ten minutes for it to cool down completely.

Mu Jiuyue turned on the TV, and no matter which channel she flipped through, they were all reporting on the current disaster.

Although the country hasn't descended into chaos yet, public sentiment is quickly becoming uncontrollable.

Several large reservoirs have been brought under complete control, and water is being transported to water-scarce areas with the help of workers working overtime.

Several water production companies were directly taken over, and private individuals were not allowed to buy or sell large quantities of bottled or barrelled water; instead, purchase restrictions were implemented.

As for the farmland, there is no longer any capacity to care for it.

They tried to save the land by irrigating it, but after a bucket of water was poured in, not a single grain was found; the soil dried up by the sun.

Therefore, the authorities had no choice but to temporarily abandon farmland crops and focus on the issue of drinking water for the population.

The imported goods were replaced entirely with bulk commodities such as grain, oil, and coal.

But people abroad aren't stupid either; they all raised prices and started demanding exorbitant prices.

This is a power struggle among those in power; it has nothing to do with those at the bottom.
