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

Four months of polar night.

The temperature gradually decreased.

The temperature gradually decreased from 40 or 50 degrees Celsius to around 20 degrees Celsius, a level that is very comfortable for the human body.

Although there was still no sunshine, the whole world began to undergo tremendous changes.

Many plants that don't require much sunlight grew rapidly, gradually filling the desert across the entire northwest.

This has gradually transformed the once barren Northwest into a vibrant world.

Mu Jiuyue arrived at the mission hall.

The place is bustling with people coming and going.

These people are mercenaries whose main duty is to go out and explore the world and bring back as many species as possible that they have never seen before.

These species will all be sent to Mu Jiuyue for species preservation.

Mu Jiuyue could sense that this world was giving the creatures on this planet their last chance to rest and recuperate.

If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one.

If we don't seize the time to preserve species now, then what will follow is a super extinction event.

The polar day and polar night wiped out most of the mutated plants and animals, making the world temporarily safer and facilitating human exploration.

These mercenary teams not only brought back all sorts of species, but also various edible ingredients. These bases buy them back with high-value points, so those who are capable go out to explore.

In her previous life, Mu Jiuyue was an explorer, just like these mercenaries. Her daily task was to lead her team to explore, search for supplies, or kill powerful, still-living creatures in exchange for three meals a day and a place to sleep.

Around this time in her previous life, she brought Xue Yuan back to the mercenary group, only to be betrayed by Xue Yuan, leaving the mercenary group and beginning a life of fighting alone.

This life is completely different from the last life.

She was no longer someone who could be easily replaced or abandoned, and her relationship with Xue Yuan had become one where it was impossible for them to truly entrust their feelings to each other.

It feels like my past life was a dream, so unreal.

"Base Commander!"

"Greetings, Base Commander!"

Throughout the journey, he greeted Mu Jiuyue.

Mu Jiuyue smiled and nodded to everyone, exchanging pleasantries, appearing very approachable.

The nuclear power plant at the Dawn Base has been built, so the electricity consumption is quite extravagant. The entire base operates on a standard schedule of turning lights on and off, and uses controlled nuclear fusion technology to simulate sunlight.

So as long as you don't leave Dawn Base, it feels like you've gone back to the past, with normal sunrises and sunsets.

The construction base of Noah's Ark and the Dawn Base have also officially reached a cooperation agreement and completed technical exchanges.

Qi Wuguo and his team successfully obtained the second-generation controlled nuclear fusion technology. The Dawn Base also obtained the core power cabin data and technology of the Southwest Shelter, as well as the construction technology of the dispersed pressure-resistant cabin and some rare materials, and some species and data that were kept separately by the Southwest Shelter.

That's right. Director Lin used second-generation controlled nuclear fusion to exchange for a lot of things with Qi Wuguo. He knew that Qi Wuguo wanted the second-generation technology, so he held on tightly and wouldn't budge. In the end, Qi Wuguo had no choice but to give in to what Director Lin asked for.

Even if Dawn Base didn't speak up, Qi Wuguo didn't intend to keep controlling this technology indefinitely without letting go or making it public. With Mu Jiuyue being such a stubborn person, he would have to get her over there sooner or later.

Let's be generous and exchange!

In any case, without controlled nuclear fusion, all of this is just wishful thinking. Without controlled nuclear fusion, it's simply impossible to power such a massive machine.

Even with the best technical conditions, you still need enough kernel drivers, right?

The fact that both sides are now cooperating and achieving mutual benefit is a good thing.

Because of the need to build this Noah's Ark, the electricity generated by the previous power plants was simply not enough, so a nuclear power plant was built instead.

With nuclear power plants and controlled nuclear fusion, electricity can now be cheaper.

Nobody uses gas stoves for cooking anymore; everyone uses electricity.

Electricity prices are ridiculously low.

A family of four, whose monthly electricity bills cover all necessities like food, drink, toileting, and sleeping, would only cost less than ten points.

That's the price of a big meal.

Basically, every household can afford it.

After all, the residents of Dawn Base are relatively wealthy, and their lives are far better than those of the poor in Northwest Shelter.

The Dawn Base has a good supply of all kinds of materials and welfare benefits, and the happiness index of the people here is quite high. Therefore, they are the most active and thorough in implementing any new policies from above, because they all know that new policies represent new opportunities, better income, and a better life.

Therefore, they are extremely efficient and achieve results in everything they do.

Sure enough, in just a few months since the polar night began, some of the components of Noah's Ark have already been completed.

The main reason is that these residents are really hardworking.

They were supposed to work three shifts a day, but they've turned it into a full-time job, and we can't get rid of them.

They all knew that this large ship was crucial to their survival in the apocalypse, so they all demanded even more from the technicians, striving for perfection in every detail.

After all, most of them had experienced the merger of Dawn Base and the construction of large ships to escape from tornadoes. They knew better than anyone how crucial it was to have a sturdy large ship.

They were able to return to land intact, instead of being torn to shreds by the tornado, all thanks to the sturdy construction of the large ship.

Now it's the second time building a ship.

They have a lot of experience to share.

They were truly offering suggestions and pooling their wisdom, wanting to polish every single screw to perfection.

In such a work environment, it's hard not to achieve results.

Therefore, although the construction of the Dawn Base started later than that of Qi Wuguo's base, the speed of catching up was by no means slower, and the quality was even better than that of Qi Wuguo's base.

In this warm and welcoming atmosphere, the polar night gradually fades away.

"Look! It's dawn!" someone suddenly shouted, pointing to the sky outside.

Everyone looked up in response.

A sliver of light gradually appeared in the previously gray sky.

The light lasted only a short time, about ten minutes, before darkness returned.

But everyone knows that the polar night is finally coming to an end!

The planet is finally going back to normal!

This news is undoubtedly good news.

Whether human, animal, or plant, they all seem to know that this is the last chance given by God to reproduce, and they are all desperately trying to multiply.

Good news has come from Dawn Base.

Teacher Qin gave birth to a daughter who weighed 6.6 pounds and cried very enthusiastically.

Mu Jiuyue was the first to hold the child. The little guy, who was crying, immediately stopped crying as soon as he was in Mu Jiuyue's arms and smiled happily at her.

"Look, the little one knows this is her older sister!" the head nurse said with a smile. "Let's give the little sister a name!"

Mu Jiuyue stroked the little guy's cheek and said, "The little thing came at just the right time, when the whole Northwest is at its most peaceful. Let's name him Hou An'an."

"An'an is a good name." The people around immediately started praising it without thinking.

Really.

Even if Mu Jiuyue were to name her Gou Dan (Dog Egg), everyone would praise her, saying it's auspicious and she'll be easy to raise.

Besides, An'an is indeed a very good name.
