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

The rain is still falling, but it has lessened.

This brought a glimmer of hope to people in dire straits.

Many people who were unwilling to go to the shelters seized this last glimmer of hope and began to move to higher ground.

Some people made their own small boats, some used tires, and some even used inflatable swimming pools—it was truly a case of everyone showing off their unique abilities.

K City itself is a city located in a hilly area.

There are mountains, but they are not high.

There is a slope, but it is not steep.

However, a shallow mountain range blocked the spread of seawater, making K City one of the safest places for the time being.

Therefore, many people are moving to City K.

The shelters in K City received orders from above to take in two million people.

Director Lin of the K City Shelter was about to object on the spot, but was forcefully suppressed by his superiors and had no choice but to accept the request.

But Director Lin is a cunning fellow.

He couldn't support such a large population, so he divided up plots of land and sent them to the mountains to fend for themselves.

For refugees, as long as they have a place to stay, they don't care about the mountain or not; having a place to shelter from the rain is what matters most.

Then a huge group of people came towards Mu Jiuyue and Wei Lie's mountain.

"General Wei, we've detected a group of over two hundred people heading in our direction. They're coming from the north and northeast, and they're currently about three kilometers away." Someone reported to Wei Lie.

"It seems that Director Lin has allocated the nearby hills to this group of people." Wei Lie frowned.

"Then let's..."

Wei Lie waved his hand: "As long as they don't get close to our hilltop, they can do whatever they want. These days, keep patrolling and don't let them get close."

"Yes."

Mu Jiuyue rocked back and forth in her rocking chair and said, "Director Lin is being dishonest. He knows perfectly well that these hills around here are all our territory. Guess what he means by this?"

“He just wants to test our limits.” Wei Lie sat down opposite Mu Jiuyue and said, “It seems that our recent large-scale exchange transaction has aroused his interest. Director Lin is a shrewd and ambitious man who won’t stay subservient forever. Although I have temporarily formed an alliance with him, he wants to know if I am qualified to become his partner.”

"Tsk." Mu Jiuyue: "I hate people like you who are so cunning and scheming, like lotus pods."

Wei Lie chuckled: "It's alright. He has his clever schemes, and I have my ways to get around them. I won't let him figure out our secrets. Besides, isn't my biggest secret you?"

Mu Jiuyue glanced sideways at Wei Lie.

“I’ve hidden all the most important things with you. No one will know how many supplies I actually have.” Wei Lie continued with a smile, “After all, you are my most important partner.”

Mu Jiuyue laughed along, "You're so good with words. Alright, I'm going back now. The water level has risen, so all the roads are meaningless. Let's find people to patrol in shifts, otherwise those people will be starving and won't care about permission or anything else; they'll come and fight us for food even if it kills them."

"Don't worry, I know." Wei Lie had someone slip a box of dried fruit to Mu Jiuyue, who waved it off and walked away nonchalantly.

Mu Jiuyue returned to her cave and said to Old Hou, "Old Hou, quite a few people have come to the mountains outside. Each one is in a worse state than the last. If you're too kind-hearted..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid," Old Hou immediately assured him. "I absolutely won't cause you any trouble."

Old Hou was speaking very eloquently at the time, but a moment later, he almost contradicted himself.

Their hilltop wasn't the highest in the area, but it was the most solid.

When Wei Lie came, he spent a lot of manpower and resources to reinforce the hilltop.

It's close enough to be considered impregnable.

The neighboring hilltops are far inferior.

Because of the erosion caused by torrential rains, the area has long been riddled with gullies, and there is no flat land left.

So living there was particularly uncomfortable.

Many people had their eyes on the hill where Mu Jiuyue and Wei Lie were, and they all rowed their boats to get closer.

"Stop! All of you, stop!" Wei Lie's men blocked the other side: "This hill is ours, and outsiders are not allowed to approach."

A ragged but strong man stood up and said, “Young man, we have no other choice. Look, are the surrounding hills habitable? We are a group of people, old and young, and we need to find a safe place to settle down. Don’t worry, we are only staying temporarily. We will definitely leave once the water recedes and will not disturb you.”

"No, step back, or don't blame me for taking action."

The man sneered and said, "This mountain isn't privately owned, is it? Why can you go up but we can't? Everyone, listen to my command, break through their encirclement, and hurry up the mountain!"

"Swish swish swish!" A dozen or so strong young men appeared, holding kitchen knives and machetes, their eyes gleaming with ferocity as they stared at Wei Lie's men.

Seeing that the other party had brandished a weapon, Wei Lie's men did not hesitate and turned around to draw their nail guns, aiming them at the other party.

Nail guns are no slouch when it comes to lethality.

In times of scarcity of medical resources, it is difficult to treat.

On the hillside, Mu Jiuyue asked Lao Hou, "Do you see that? This is humanity in the apocalypse. To survive, people will stop at nothing."

Old Hou sighed silently and said, "They have it tough too."

"Who has it easy? We're all just trying to survive." Mu Jiuyue chuckled. "In my past life, I wasn't even as good as them. Guess what made me survive to the end?"

Old Hou was speechless.

The standoff on the water continues.

Neither side was willing to back down.

Just then, a thin man sneaked around the group and slipped to the side.

They attempted to attack the outermost one.

Just as the gleaming knife in his hand was about to be pointed at the bodyguard, a gunshot rang out—

boom!

The thin man, with a bullet between his eyebrows, fell into the water with an incredulous look on his face.

"Murder! Someone has murdered someone!" The crowd instantly descended into chaos.

Wei Lie's team was instantly scattered, and the group rushed towards Mu Jiuyue as if they had gone mad.

Mu Jiuyue held the sniper rifle steadily, eliminating one enemy after another with pinpoint accuracy.

Bang bang bang.

Not a single gun went empty.

Seven or eight people died instantly, each one of them being the fiercest and strongest among them.

“Take one more step forward, and it will be an indiscriminate attack.” Mu Jiuyue picked up the megaphone and shouted at the people on the mountainside: “You can try and see if your footsteps are faster or my gun is faster.”

The team, which had been charging fiercely just moments before, suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Everyone looked towards the mountainside with surprise and uncertainty.

There is a god of death there.

Wei Lie's men had already reacted and quickly changed their weapons, some taking knives and others guns, all pointing them at the group of refugees.

The leader immediately gave the order to retreat: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, don't worry, we won't come any closer!"
