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

Madam Wei pretended to hit her son: "What nonsense are you talking about! Even if your eldest brother got the news in advance and stockpiled so many supplies without telling the family, he is still your eldest brother."

Lady Wei applied the eye drops at just the right time.

Mr. Wei's temper flared up again: "He really is my nemesis! No wonder he suddenly sold off all his assets, so that's why. Damn it, inferior genes can't produce anything good. I'm his father, his things are mine."

Madam Wei and Wei Yao exchanged a quick glance.

Madam Wei quickly patted Mr. Wei's back and said gently, "Father and son, talk it out and don't lose your temper. Xiao Lie is so filial to the old man, he will definitely be filial to you too. He's just too proud to admit it right now."

"Yes, Dad, I'm very worried about my older brother out there. Didn't they say that even satellites in the sky are going to fall down? What if we can't contact him once communications are cut off?" Wei Yao said hypocritically, "It's best to have him come back as soon as possible."

Mr. Wei nodded and said, "Xiao Yao is still the most filial."

"Dad, when my older brother comes back in the future, I will definitely take care of you and Mom together!" Wei Yao was already eighteen years old, but he pretended to be eight, which made Mr. Wei smile from ear to ear.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Lie immediately instructed Secretary Cao to investigate: "Something is definitely amiss. Find out what they're up to."

Secretary Cao: "Yes."

Soon, Secretary Cao delivered the results of his investigation.

Wei Lie was so angry when he saw it that he laughed out loud.

"Good, very good, truly excellent!" Wei Lie slammed the intelligence report onto the table with a vicious look of disgust: "They're trying to squeeze every last drop of blood from me, using my son whom they despise to the fullest extent!"

Secretary Cao looked down at the documents on the table, which clearly stated: The Wei family is preparing to form a marriage alliance with the second-in-command of the Southwest Shelter, with the eldest son marrying into the woman's family.

Secretary Cao was almost disgusted by it.

No wonder the boss never mentions his family; who could stand such disgusting behavior?

Wei Lie said sarcastically, "What? Wei Yao can't offer anything, so you've turned to me?"

"They're probably not just after you, but also the supplies you have," Secretary Cao said. "Communications haven't been cut off yet, so the Wei family can easily find out what you've been doing at the K City shelter. Not only did you sponsor so many supplies, but you also traded so many. Not to mention, how much did we make selling water during the heatwave and drought? And reselling protective suits—that was a killing!"

"That's right. That old geezer is just dreaming!" Wei Lie said with a sneer. "I'm actually hoping the satellite falls down soon. Then we'll see how he can still act all high and mighty!"

After saying that, Wei Lie immediately said to Secretary Cao, "Transfer the supplies we have stored outside as soon as possible. It's probably not safe outside anymore."

Secretary Cao immediately nodded: "Yes, I have already ordered them to temporarily suspend all material transactions. We really made a fortune this time. These supplies are enough for us to live on for several lifetimes."

Wei Lie finally smiled: "Everyone has worked hard! Now that everyone's here, let's relax a bit."

"Yes," Secretary Cao replied with a smile. "Everyone has been on edge these past few days, so it's time to let them relax a bit."

The sky finally brightened completely.

The long-awaited sun finally peeked out with a smile.

Everyone on the hilltop was cheering and jumping for joy.

Rainy days are so unbearable.

My whole body is covered in hair, it's so annoying, I can't get it clean no matter how much I wash it.

As soon as the sun came out, everyone was busy washing clothes and airing out bedding.

On the nearby hilltops, clothes racks of all sizes were hanging, and clothes and bedding almost covered the entire hilltop.

Mu Jiuyue was no exception.

She and Lao Hou washed all the clothes they had accumulated over the past few days in one go.

All the used bedding was taken out to be sun-dried.

Such good weather is extremely rare in the entire post-apocalyptic world.

Once the sandstorm comes, don't even think about drying your clothes like this.

Mu Jiuyue lay on one side, basking in the sun, with a blade of grass in her mouth.

Wei Lie came over and lay down next to her, putting his hands behind his head, and asked, "Have you ever been curious about your background?"

"What's there to be curious about?" Mu Jiuyue replied lazily. "The fact that I was abandoned proves that my fate with them has run its course. Since there's no fate, they're just strangers. Would you be curious about a stranger?"

"No." Wei Lie immediately laughed: "I'm not as carefree as you."

"Did something happen to you?" Mu Jiuyue asked.

"It's nothing, just some trivial matters." Wei Lie changed the subject: "When exactly will the severe cold arrive?"

"It's hard to say, maybe in two or three days, or even today," Mu Jiuyue said. "Who can predict natural disasters?"

“That’s true, but communications just went down completely just now.” Wei Lie told Mu Jiuyue, “The last message I received was that the top leader passed away three days ago, and many people have started fighting for power. It’s estimated that it won’t be long before it affects K City. Now that there’s no leader, everyone is preparing to act independently. Director Lin is already prepared to fight for actual control of the shelter.”

"What does this have to do with us?" Mu Jiuyue retorted.

"Hahahaha, you're always so carefree. You're right, it has nothing to do with us." Wei Lie turned to look at Mu Jiuyue.

To be honest, Mu Jiuyue is not bad-looking, but only just so-so; she's far from being a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

But she possesses an undeniable charm and allure that draws people in and makes them want to know more about her.

She always dressed in a neutral style, with short hair and even an overly strong jawline, all of which indicated that she was never a timid woman.

Wei Lie wanted to get closer, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to accept the consequences of failure.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Jiuyue saw Wei Lie staring blankly at her without saying a word, so she asked him, "By the way, how's the progress with your bodyguard?"

"You mean Hogg?" Wei Lie picked up the conversation, saying, "He's really getting along with Wu Qinglan now. Not only him, but several other people have also become close to the women of Wu Family Village."

"Aren't you afraid they'll betray you?" Mu Jiuyue asked.

"I'm not afraid," Wei Lie replied with a smile. "The people I've chosen have all been carefully considered and tested. I know you want to say that people's hearts are unpredictable, but at least for now, I still believe in them."

Mu Jiuyue nodded.

"I will succeed in September. I will!" Wei Lie said in a low but burning voice, "I will prove myself."

the other side.

Hogg and Wu Qinglan were getting intimate in a newly dug cave.

The cave was dug very crudely; it looked like a temporary structure. Apart from a small nest inside, there was nothing else there.

There are many more small caves like this, all dug out by this group of young people specifically for dating.
