Natural Disaster Strikes: I Stockpiled Billions and Carved My Way Through the Apocalypse
Chapter 45 Living Next Door
Mu Jiuyue only put down the gun after the group had completely retreated to the nearby hilltop.
Old Hou stared at Mu Jiuyue in shock: "When did you learn this?"
"Guess," Mu Jiuyue countered.
Old Hou immediately fell silent, grunting and panting, before quietly going inside to get to work.
Wei Lie quickly came over and thanked Mu Jiuyue: "Thank you so much for earlier. My men are more skilled in technical skills and not so good at fighting. I had just sent all my bodyguards to the shelter to check on the situation, and then this happened. If you hadn't acted quickly, I'm afraid..."
"It's nothing, just remember to clean up." Mu Jiuyue pointed to the sky above her head: "I don't want to be wanted before order collapses."
Wei Lie immediately smiled: "Of course."
“This group isn’t a united front.” Mu Jiuyue saw the key point at a glance: “If I’m not mistaken, they formed a team on the way and came together. Whoever rushed up our hill first would naturally become the leader of their team. I disrupted their plans, and they won’t let it go easily.”
“I can see that too. There should be at least four teams among them. These temporary teams are prone to falling apart. Leave this to me.” What Mu Jiuyue could see, Wei Lie naturally saw even more clearly.
“It looks like things are about to get lively here,” Mu Jiuyue said. “Wei Lie, let me be clear from the start. If you’re soft-hearted and choose to let them into this place, then our cooperation will end here.”
Wei Lie's pupils suddenly contracted: "Don't worry, absolutely not."
"That would be perfect." Mu Jiuyue put away the gun and turned to leave.
After retreating to the nearby hilltop, the group indeed split into four factions, each occupying one of the four corners.
The men moved stones to fill the pit, the women set up the tent, and the children helped transport things.
The entire hilltop immediately became bustling with activity.
Fortunately, although this hilltop experienced drought and torrential rain, it was not ravaged by wildfires, so the hilltop is covered with dead trees.
As long as you have the strength, building a temporary little house is not a problem.
After a day, the once empty hilltop was now filled with small houses of all sizes.
The two groups of people ended up living next to each other.
Because Mu Jiuyue killed many of their people, they harbored great hatred towards her.
However, he knew he couldn't beat Mu Jiuyue, so he always avoided her.
Whenever Mu Jiuyue came out of the cave, they would hide to the side and try their best not to confront her.
As long as Mu Jiuyue is not around, they will pretend to be stupid and beg and plead with Wei Lie's men.
In particular, they will send some elderly, weak, women and children to kneel in front of you and kowtow repeatedly.
It's hard for anyone not to be soft-hearted.
If Wei Lie hadn't repeatedly warned his subordinates not to be overly kind, and that anyone who showed excessive kindness should automatically leave the group and the mountain, it would have been different.
I'm afraid those men really would save their own food rations for the elderly, weak, women, and children.
Old Hou was puzzled and asked Mu Jiuyue, "They are all elderly people, women and children, and they don't pose any threat. How can they be treated the same as those men?"
Mu Jiuyue didn't launch into a long explanation; she simply said, "You'll understand soon enough."
That day, as usual, Old Hou rowed his boat to another hilltop to deliver meals to his patrolling apprentices.
Just as he was about to turn around, a young woman saw Old Hou and knelt down with a thud: "Brother, please have mercy and save me! Just give me a bite to eat, and I'll do anything you ask! I'll do whatever you want."
Old Hou, that straight-laced guy, blushed with embarrassment: "What are you doing? Put your clothes on!"
"Brother, if I hadn't been driven to desperation, why would I be in this situation? I don't mind being hungry, but if I die, my elderly parents really won't be able to survive!" The woman looked at Old Hou with sorrow and pity: "Brother, I'm still a virgin, please take me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged at Old Hou.
Old Hou screamed and backed away, yelling, "Don't come any closer!"
The woman seized the opportunity and grabbed Old Hou's leg.
Old Hou turned pale with fright, and sweat poured down his face: "Let go, let go, don't do this..."
Just as Old Hou was at a loss, the woman who had been wailing suddenly changed her expression and shouted to the back, "I caught one!"
The next second, three men rushed out from the shadows and pinned Old Hou down on the spot.
"Go tell the people on that hill that if you want him to live, give him 500 catties of grain! Otherwise, you'll slice him into pieces and eat him!" the leader shouted arrogantly. "And tell the guy who opened the cold storage to come out and compensate us for our losses!"
The woman who had just looked pitiful had now straightened her clothes and snuggled into the man's arms, saying coquettishly, "What's there to eat from this old man? We should ask for more supplies! There are so many of them, and they all look healthy and happy. They certainly don't lack food or drink. I haven't dressed up in ages. Don't you love it when I'm all dressed up and looking pretty?"
"Hahaha, good, you've done a great job today, I'll reward you when we get back!" The man affectionately pinched the woman's waist, earning her a coquettish "You're so naughty!"
Old Hou's face was pressed against the cold ground when he heard their conversation, and he seemed to wake up from a dream.
He finally understood why Mu Jiuyue had said that humans in the apocalypse could no longer be called humans.
What he perceived as the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled were actually cannibalistic demons.
When Mu Jiuyue learned that Lao Hou had been captured, she strangely breathed a sigh of relief. She had long guessed that Lao Hou would have to go through this battle.
Wei Lie asked her, "Do you want me to step in?"
Mu Jiuyue sighed, "Forget it, I'll go. Old Hou should have learned his lesson after this incident. Fortunately, they only want food; it would have been a tragedy if they didn't want anything at all."
Wei Lie: "I'll go with you, and I'll also let my people see it for themselves and broaden their minds."
"Ah."
Mu Jiuyue, dressed in a standard black training uniform, stood in front of the group: "Where are they?"
"Where's the food?" The man opposite her looked at Mu Jiuyue arrogantly. "And the compensation for the people you killed."
Mu Jiuyue raised her hand and lifted the black cloth behind her, revealing a pile of rice and corn, all packed neatly in transparent plastic bags.
The group of people's eyes lit up when they saw so much grain!
Not long after the natural disaster began, those people ran out of ammunition and food, and usually relied on cheating and deception to obtain supplies.
When they couldn't fool people anymore, they started setting up honey traps, and later they resorted to coercion, enticement, and extortion.
after that……
Those men were eager to grab the food, but Mu Jiuyue's Tang sword pinned them to the ground, rendering them unable to move.
"Where are my men?" Mu Jiuyue raised her eyes and looked at the group of people expressionlessly: "If a single hair on his head falls, you won't be able to take a single grain of food."
