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

Mu Jiuyue said to Xue Yuan, "Calm down first. We can't go back without knowing anything. They've lived here for quite a while, and they know best what's going on. We can just trade with them; there's no need to kill anyone."

"Hmph." Xue Yuan didn't take it seriously, but still gave Mu Jiuyue face and didn't make another move.

In this world, there are only two people who can persuade Xueyuan.

One is Qi Wuguo, and the other is Mu Jiuyue.

“We are survivors from the Great Eastern Kingdom. What about you?” Mu Jiuyue asked.

"The Great Eastern Kingdom? That's so far away!" someone exclaimed. "Are there still any survivors outside? Aren't we the only few left?"

"Why don't we sit down and chat?" Mu Jiuyue looked around. "And maybe take a look at your living conditions?"

The other party hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed.

No other reason.

That woman waving the whip was really fierce.

They were fierce, domineering, and powerful; they were no match for them.

If this woman can persuade the woman wielding the whip, then this woman must be even more formidable. So it's best not to refuse her, otherwise they will suffer a terrible fate.

Moreover, they were eager to know what was happening outside.

These two came from outside, so they must know what's happening outside.

So this group of people brought Mu Jiuyue and Xue Yuan to their residence.

They lived in a simple treehouse.

The so-called treehouse is simply a small house built on the intersection of the branches of three trees, resembling a honeycomb.

I roughly counted them; there were seven or eight.

The island's inhabitants number about a dozen people in total.

There are men and women, but no children or elderly people.

They saw two women approaching, and they all stood up and looked at them.

Bad eyes.

It was the look of a hunter staring at its prey, which made Mu Jiuyue very unhappy.

A bunch of trash, how dare they look at her like that? Are they looking for death?

"Tell the people who told you to keep their eyes closed, or they might really lose their eyesight," Mu Jiuyue said softly.

After saying that, Mu Jiuyue casually picked a leaf and flung it into the eyes of the man with the most evil gaze without even looking at him.

"Ah!" The man covered his eyes and screamed in agony, his face instantly covered in blood.

The dozen or so people were immediately terrified!

What kind of spell is this?

Can a single leaf really hurt someone?

Is that human being?

Xue Yuan said with a half-smile, "You're too gentle. You should have taken his head off."

"Whatever." Mu Jiuyue shrugged. "Just consider it because I'm in a good mood today."

The group of people who brought Xue Yuan and Mu Jiuyue back instantly turned ashen-faced with fright.

Others didn't see her movements clearly, but he did.

She really just picked a leaf randomly, instead of preparing some powerful weapon beforehand.

Plucking leaves and letting flowers fall.

This is actually true!

Mysterious Eastern Kung Fu!

The man quickly shouted a few words at the injured person. Mu Jiuyue was too lazy to translate, but she could guess that they were warnings.

Because they all showed wary looks, they took several steps back, appearing docile.

Where is this person?

Just cheap.

They won't listen when you talk to them nicely, but they'll listen after you beat them up.

They came to the tree, where there was a small wooden house. This must have been where they ate and moved around, because there were some simple tables and chairs inside, all made from local materials and crudely constructed.

"Please have a seat, ladies." The other party invited Mu Jiuyue and Xue Yuan to sit down and introduced himself, "My name is James, and I am the leader of this team. We were originally a group of people who loved adventure. When the apocalypse came, we were climbing a mountain."

“But as we climbed, we saw fire descending from the heavens. It was God punishing foolish humans,” James said. “We were terrified and turned back.”

"But when we got halfway there, we found a hillside that had been hit by the fire from the sky, revealing a lot of gold. So we discussed it and decided that if the fire from the sky didn't continue, we would come back as a group to dig for gold."

"So when we went back, we found that the world was still the same as before, so we took plenty of tools and supplies and went back to the mountain. But this time it was different; once we got up there, we couldn't get down."

“A major earthquake damaged our roads. Our hilltop was isolated, and we can’t leave even if we want to. We’ve been calling for help everywhere, but we’ve been told that we can’t get any help right now. Because the outside world is calling for help everywhere, the ambulances just can’t keep up.”

“We were left behind on this mountain. Fortunately, we are all good at wilderness survival, so we built a shelter and prepared to get through the toughest time before figuring out how to get back.”

"As you probably know, none of us made it back."

As James finished speaking, someone next to him said sarcastically, "Is it because we can't go back? Isn't it because you're a coward and afraid to take risks? If we had used a climbing axe earlier, we might have left here long ago."

"A lot of things happened after that, and a lot of our people died. Of the team of more than fifty people, only a dozen or so of us were left." James ignored the other person and continued to Mu Jiuyue and Xue Yuan, "We used the tools we brought with us to find a lot of food, and then stored it up to survive until now."

"No sandstorms here? No poisonous fog?" Mu Jiuyue suddenly asked.

"Sandstorm? No! Toxic fog? No!" The other person asked blankly, "Then what is it?"

Mu Jiuyue and Xue Yuan raised their eyebrows at the same time.

Great, another group of lucky people.

No wonder they survived.

It turns out that there are far fewer natural disasters here.

"Then suddenly the water level rose, and what was originally a mountain became an island," James continued. "We tried several times to build a ship to leave and explore the world. But it didn't work; we just couldn't get out of here. Whenever we sailed a certain distance, a thick fog would appear, and we would lose our way, wander around, and eventually end up back where we started."

Mu Jiuyue and Xue Yuan exchanged a glance, both finding the matter quite interesting.

Why does it sound like these dozen or so people are pets kept here in captivity?

"When did so much water appear here?" Xueyuan asked.

“That was a long time ago, wasn’t it? Several years ago,” James replied. “To be precise, it was a year after the apocalypse.”

"In other words, you've been trapped here for at least five years," Mu Jiuyue said. "What have you been eating?"

“Fish,” James replied. “We’re very good at fishing. And we’ve found a mineral here that contains salt, which can replenish what our bodies need.”

As soon as he finished speaking, James asked, "How's the outside world? Can we go back?"
