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

"Report, base commander, the seawater has continued to intrude another ten meters, and it is still ninety miles away from our Dawn base."

"Reporting to the base commander, ten percent of the species have disappeared in the last three days."

"Reporting to the base commander, the areas submerged by seawater have had their ecosystems completely destroyed, leaving no vegetation and making it impossible for any crops to grow."

"Reporting to the base commander..."

One piece of bad news after another reached Mu Jiuyue and the others.

After they finished reporting, Mu Jiuyue finally spoke, "What do you think?"

Director Lin looked dejected and dejected: "Has it really come to this? Is there really no way for us to reverse it?"

Mu Jiuyue shook her head: "I'm afraid not. When this side becomes the coastline, that's when we should board the Dawn. At that time, there will probably be an even greater natural disaster waiting for us, so we must board the ship ahead of time!"

"But..." Director Lin said unwillingly, "Even if the ocean invades, we still have so much land!"

Lin Zhen sighed and said, "There's some news I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. My men just came from the west, and the seawater is invading faster there than in the east. Although it's still a bit far from us, it won't be long before this place becomes an isolated island."

"It's come to this?" Director Lin's eyes revealed deep weariness and despair. "Human power really can't overcome nature, is that it?"

Lin Zhen said dejectedly, "At present, we are still unable to overcome the natural disaster. We have no choice but to avoid it! However, fortunately, we have built Noah's Ark, so we still have a way out."

Wei Lie knocked on the door and came in, saying, "I'm sorry, but I have some very bad news to tell you all."

Brush brush.

All three of them turned to look at him at the same time.

Wei Lie said, "A saltwater lake has been discovered on land, and this saltwater lake is not a remnant of the tsunami, but was recently infiltrated by the ocean."

There was an uproar at the scene.

"Does this mean that the land beneath our feet will disintegrate more quickly and be swallowed by the sea more rapidly?" Director Lin asked hollowly.

No one answered, but they all tacitly agreed with this statement.

Director Lin covered his eyes in despair. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said sadly, "That's enough. We've done our best!"

"Let's start preparing!" Mu Jiuyue said. "Have everyone start packing their things. I'll release Noah's Ark ahead of time, so you can get on board first."

"And you?" Wei Lie asked sharply, "Aren't you planning to board the ship? Where are you going? What are you going to do?"

Lin Zhen and Director Lin both looked at Mu Jiuyue at the same time: "Jiuyue, don't act rashly! You definitely can't withstand such a huge natural disaster. You should come with us on the ship!"

"I have other plans. Trust me, I will definitely come to find you!" Mu Jiuyue said, "This natural disaster can't kill me!"

"No, I can't let you act recklessly," Director Lin said sternly. "September, you're too important to the entire Dawn Base! You're the pillar of the Dawn. If you're not on board, I'm worried things will go wrong!"

"I'll leave this to the three of you! I know you three are absolutely capable of handling this." Mu Jiuyue said, "I have a reason why I have to go. If I miss this opportunity, I might regret it for the rest of my life."

"But……"

Before Director Lin could say anything more, Lin Zhen spoke up, "We must believe in Jiu Yue! And Jiu Yue, you must promise us that no matter what happens, no matter how big the problem is, you will not give up easily, and you will not abandon us! We promised each other that we would share joys and sorrows, never abandon each other, and stay together for life!"

Wei Lie looked at Mu Jiuyue with a bitter expression.

He had secretly loved her countless times in the past.

But Mu Jiuyue is no longer someone he can even dream of.

But he didn't regret it at all.

I once loved, so I cherish it.

"I promise you," Mu Jiuyue said solemnly, "I will definitely come back to find you alive!"

Mu Jiuyue had reasons for having to leave the Dawn.

Qi Wuguo and Xue Yuan were also like that.

The two of them discovered something not so good.

That means they've eaten all the mutated animals and plants on the ground, and they have nothing left to upgrade.

"What should we do?" Xue Yuan asked in distress. "Does this mean we have no choice but to go to the ocean and catch mutated sea monsters? What am I supposed to do? Where am I supposed to find mutated sea plants?"

Qi Wuguo seemed to understand something and said, "So this is the test for us!"

"What do you mean?" Xueyuan didn't understand.

“We have built Noah’s Ark, but we cannot step onto it,” Qi Wuguo said. “If we choose to step onto Noah’s Ark, it means that we have given up evolution, given up strength, and chosen to live a life of mere survival. Although we can live indefinitely, we will naturally perish after a certain period. That guy up there will have achieved his goal. He has perfectly eliminated the aliens and preserved the humans he needed.”

"If, in the name of evolution, we choose to abandon Noah's Ark and venture into the ocean to hunt, it means we will completely sever ourselves from our protective shield. We can no longer use all of humanity to hold the other side hostage, and the other side can then eliminate us with impunity!"

"This is truly a difficult choice!" Qi Wuguo chuckled. "This is a tough hurdle to choose. We'll regret it no matter which path we choose."

Xueyuan also realized what was happening and slammed her hand on the table: "Damn it! What do we do now?"

"Mu Jiuyue must also be struggling with a similar choice. Let's see what she does?" Qi Wuguo replied.

"No need to look, I choose to stay." Mu Jiuyue's voice came from outside.

She entered Qi Wuguo and Xue Yuan's office without any hindrance, sat down directly in front of them, and said, "I have decided to release Noah's Ark ahead of schedule and let the people from Dawn Base board the ship. I will wait here for the final test! I have a strong feeling that the final test will be beyond our imagination and will be extremely difficult. However, once we pass the test, we will have the right and qualification to communicate with those above."

"Why do you want to stay?" Xueyuan asked. "Your upgrade method is different from ours."

"I naturally have my reasons for staying," Mu Jiuyue replied vaguely, "and they are reasons why I absolutely must stay. You two, let's begin preparations!"

Xue Yuan said unwillingly, "I'm not convinced. We painstakingly built Noah's Ark, but we can't even get on it. Isn't this just letting others benefit for nothing? Why should we? If we had known it would be like this, we wouldn't have built it in the first place! We were going to die anyway, so we might as well take all of humanity with us!"

“No, you definitely have a backup plan.” Qi Wuguo said to Mu Jiuyue, “Now that we’re allies, we should be open and honest. What other trump cards are you keeping?”
