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

Lin Zhen said helplessly, "Dad, please stop testing me. Yes, I have the right to speak, and the four of us discussed it together."

Madam Lin rolled her eyes at her husband and said to Lin Zhen, "Son, do whatever you want, be bold and take risks, just be sure to pay attention to your safety. If you fail, it's okay, we'll cover for you! Don't push yourself!"

Madam Lin has the heart of a loving mother.

Lin Zhen felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Lin Zhen did not leave that night and talked with his father all night.

We talked about the past, the present, and the future.

And then there's the approaching polar night.

We need to prepare in advance in all aspects.

Although the people in the Northwest Shelter are wealthy, their supplies are truly insufficient, especially nuclear energy.

Lin Zhen subtly indicated that the Dawn Base possessed a batch of nuclear energy that could be traded. However, this nuclear energy could only be given to his father, not to anyone else, as Lin Zhen did not trust others.

Lin Yinghuai readily agreed.

"How did you manage to preserve something like this? It must have taken a lot of effort, right?" Lin Yinghuai asked with admiration.

“Indeed.” Lin Zhen did not betray Mu Jiuyue. He neither told his parents that Mu Jiuyue was a girl, nor did he mention that she had a magical treasure space that could contain everything.

Even fathers and mothers need to keep certain secrets.

After all, parents may be reliable, but the people around them may not be.

The more people who know the secret, the greater the danger.

Lin Zhen believes her parents can understand.

After all, although they were both soldiers, they kept the missions they had participated in a secret from each other. They knew better than anyone the importance of secrecy.

"Great! If we can get these things, I'll give you a huge credit!" Lin Yinghuai said excitedly.

the other side.

Mu Jiuyue and her friends found an agency and rented an apartment.

It's called a house, but it's really just one big open room.

The buildings here are all carved out like honeycomb caves. Each cave extends further in, revealing small rooms of varying sizes, also resembling a honeycomb.

It refers to the layout of a suite/room.

The apartment they rented was on the fifteenth floor, in an area open to the public for rent and sale. These apartments were specifically prepared for outsiders.

This area has good ventilation and a pleasant environment, making it suitable for people with money.

Mu Jiuyue and her group made a lot of money today, so naturally they are rich.

Mu Jiuyue wasn't the type to compromise herself, so she naturally arranged for everyone to stay in the best area and the best rooms.

Just as Mu Jiuyue was about to release a portable bathroom from her spatial storage so everyone could take a shower and relax, she heard someone knocking on the door: "Excuse me for disturbing you, are you the owner of the boxed lunches sold in the mall today?"

Mu Jiuyue and Wei Lie exchanged a glance and walked outside together.

As soon as the door opened, a man wearing a somewhat wrinkled Brazilian suit stood outside.

You can tell he's trying his best to maintain his dignity.

However, it still revealed his poverty.

They must be a declining middle class.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Wei Lie greeted the other party with a professional smile: "I'm the boss."

"My name is Tang Wenbai." The other party introduced himself politely, "I am the assistant to Minister Ai, who is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce under Director Wang. I apologize for bothering you today, but I would like to ask if you are guests from the Central Shelter?"

"So it's Assistant Tang! My apologies!" Wei Lie said, "Assistant Tang, you've misunderstood. We're not from the Central Shelter, but from Dawn Base. We've come to your esteemed place simply to do some business, nothing more."

"So you're a guest from Dawn Base. May I ask your name?" Tang Wenbai asked.

“Wei Lie,” Wei Lie said, pointing at Mu Jiuyue, “This is Mu Jiu. We are both base commanders of the Dawn Base!”

"Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Tang Wenbai said, "It was our mistake that we didn't give you a proper welcome since you've come from Dawn Base. The environment outside is getting worse and worse. Don't you all really want to consider joining the Northwest Shelter? As you've seen, the Northwest Shelter is incredibly powerful. You could say that in the vast Northwest, only our place is a paradise on earth. The environment outside is too harsh for humans to survive."

Is this an attempt to win them over?

Mu Jiuyue wasn't good at playing hard to get, so she said directly, "Sorry, we're all a bit stubborn and don't really like being dependent on others. So thank you for your kindness, Assistant Tang!"

Tang Wenbai was taken aback.

Does this mean they're rejecting attempts to win them over?

Tang Wenbai's face darkened.

Wei Lie, quick-witted, immediately said, "Hey, it's much easier for us to trade with the Northwest Shelter when we're out there. After all, it's easier to collect supplies out there! We'd be very happy to do business with the Northwest Shelter! Let's exchange what we have and make progress together! Assistant Tang, what do you say?"

Tang Wenbai nodded reluctantly: "Alright then, since none of you want to come, I won't force you. However, if you do decide to come, remember to look for Director Wang. Only Director Wang is in charge of the Northwest Shelter. Ignore everyone else."

"Okay, okay, yes, yes, yes." Wei Lie saw the other person off with a smile.

Mu Jiuyue rolled her eyes: "Who do you think you are? You dare to threaten me?"

Wei Lie said, "We shouldn't make enemies of the Northwest Sanctuary right now. They are far larger than us now, and if we go to war, it will be a lose-lose situation!"

Mu Jiuyue nodded: "I know, otherwise I would have already turned on him! We'll wait for Lin Zhen to come back and then immediately return to Dawn Base. I don't like seeing that kind of attitude!"

"it is good!"

Silent all night.

The shop opened as usual the next day.

But the products being sold today have changed.

It's no longer a boxed lunch.

Even a fool would know that no matter how big the truck is, it can't carry that many boxed meals!

This unscientific.

Therefore, they prepared a more scientific set: a four-piece cotton bedding set, cotton shoes, single shoes, gloves, and socks.

There are also cheap five-yuan T-shirts and shorts that you wouldn't even glance at before the apocalypse.

Of course, that was the price before the apocalypse; the price now...

One item for 5,000 points or 5 grams of gold, take it or leave it!

In a world that has lost its industrial system, fabric with such neat and tight stitches is extremely rare.

Although some people are now using primitive hand-cranked looms.

But anyone with a brain knows just how efficient that would be.

Even after a whole day's work, you might not be able to knit even half a garment, let alone with the scarcity of raw materials! Where are you going to find cotton thread?

Despite soaring raw material and labor costs, demand still exceeds supply.

Then, as soon as Mu Jiuyue's shop opened, it became a huge hit again!

Those clothes that were once ridiculously cheap are now being snapped up!

When Lin Zhen arrived, this was the horrific scene he witnessed.

Wei Lie led his men to sell like crazy in front, while Mu Jiuyue frantically collected the money behind them.

In no time, the basket was filled with all kinds of gold jewelry.

All the guests who couldn't make it yesterday have come today.

Like a madwoman, she frantically threw all her gold jewelry at Mu Jiuyue, exchanging it for piles of wearable clothes and shoes, and left satisfied.
