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

"What are you trading?" Mu Jiuyue walked in with his hands in his pockets and sat down directly opposite Wei Lie.

“Ah, Hogg and Wu Qinglan have a child. I was worried that we wouldn’t have enough baby supplies, so I’m making sure to stock up before the cold weather hits.” Wei Lie explained, “That was my oversight. I thought that most of us, over a hundred people, would be single, so we didn’t have enough baby supplies. I didn’t expect that Hogg would actually have a child of his own. That’s a good thing.”

"Maternity and baby products." Mu Jiuyue frowned slightly, rummaging through her memory, and seemed to recall that she had once owned a complete maternity and baby store.

Whether it's branded formula for stages 1, 2, 3, and 4, baby bottles and nipples, bibs, cotton wipes, wet wipes, various nutritional supplements, yogurt balls, and all sorts of diapers, baby pads, clothes, shoes, bathtubs, bath caps, shampoo and bath products, toys, and so on, there's a whole bunch of stuff.

Secretary Cao said, "Now almost all the shops outside are submerged, only a few cities in the west still retain their original appearance. It may be difficult to collect all the maternity and baby products; we can only try our best to find them."

"Buy as much as you can, no matter the price, do everything you can to acquire it," Wei Lie instructed.

"Wait a minute." Mu Jiuyue called out to Secretary Cao, who was about to leave, and said, "I remember I have a large batch of maternity and baby products. Let me look for them later."

Secretary Cao and Wei Lie were both overjoyed: "That's wonderful!"

Wei Lie said, "I'll take as many as you have, and you set the price."

Mu Jiuyue waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about the price now. We can discuss this later. After all, the child hasn't been born yet, and we're not sure if it's Hogg's. I came to you to remind you that I overheard the village chief of Wu Family Village arguing with Duan Qi. He said that one of Duan Qi's men humiliated a woman from Wu Family Village and he wants her to take responsibility. Duan Qi is fiercely protective and refuses to admit it. The two sides are on the verge of a fight."

Secretary Cao frowned: "What a coincidence."

Wei Lie nodded: "It's really too much of a coincidence. The news of Wu Qinglan's pregnancy was just announced, and then Village Chief Wu got into a fight with Duan Qi. He's trying to use us to get rid of Duan Qi. Village Chief Wu wants to become the boss of the neighboring mountain."

"The construction on the neighboring hill is almost complete. Village Chief Wu is trying to reap the benefits. Unfortunately, Duan Qi isn't falling for it," Secretary Cao said. "What should we do? Wu Qinglan will definitely seek help from Hogg. Should we help her or not?"

Wei Lie waved his hand: "Let Hogg decide for himself. He can help if he wants, but all his actions are none of our business."

"Understood." Secretary Cao nodded.

Upon receiving the message, Mu Jiuyue didn't linger and said, "You all go about your business. I'll go back and find some maternity and baby supplies."

"September, please," Wei Lie said. "It's okay if we can't find it, we'll just go and collect another batch. Anyway, we'll need these things sooner or later. The sooner we collect them, the more secure we'll be. The longer the apocalypse lasts, the more rare these things will become."

"also."

Mu Jiuyue returned to her cave, entered her spatial dimension, and began rummaging through her stored goods.

The warehouse now is enormous.

You can't finish the journey by walking alone.

Thankfully, the space has an automatic organization function; otherwise, I might search myself to death and still not find what I want.

Following the labels, I found the section for maternity and baby products. After browsing through it, I found it to be quite comprehensive.

The mother and baby store was in a hurry to be sold, probably because the owner had run into some trouble, and the 50,000 yuan was all they had to cover.

In reality, these goods cost countless amounts of 50,000 yuan.

Mu Jiuyue got lucky.

Considering the need to ensure future population growth, Mu Jiuyue decided to replicate these maternal and infant products ten thousand times over.

"Materials requiring 10,000 times replication have been detected, consuming 4692000 grams of gold. Confirm/Cancel."

Mu Jiuyue clicked "OK".

Brush brush.

The baby and maternity supplies that originally occupied only a tiny corner suddenly increased tenfold, turning into a mountain of supplies.

Mu Jiuyue selected items needed by the newborn baby and pregnant woman, then flashed out of the space and delivered them to Wei Lie.

As expected, Wei Lie and Hogg were both overjoyed and kept thanking her.

Secretary Cao went to the shelter to buy maternity and baby products at high prices, but unfortunately, despite the high prices, very few items were sold.

When fleeing, everyone carried their most important personal belongings.

Families with children don't even have enough to eat for themselves, how could they possibly sell their food?

When the hospital was transferred, it only focused on transferring various instruments and equipment and medicines from the pharmacy. How could it have transferred maternity and baby products?

The owners of maternity and baby stores, in order to lose weight, only bring their own daily necessities and would not bring these unsellable bottles and jars.

Therefore, Mu Jiuyue's batch of maternity and baby products was truly a timely help.

"Miss Mu, I will always remember your great kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best without hesitation," Hogg assured her, patting his chest.

Mu Jiuyue nodded and said, "I've got it."

Just as they were talking, an alarm suddenly went off.

Someone shouted from afar, "It's getting colder, hurry up and light the fire!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jiuyue took off running, so fast that Wei Lie couldn't stop her.

"Old Hou, quick, light the fire, it's getting cooler." As soon as Mu Jiuyue got back, she quickly put away the bedding she was using and replaced it with a thick cotton quilt.

They also changed into a thicker, fleece-lined cotton-padded coat.

Their movements were quick, and the temperature dropped even faster.

In just half an hour, the temperature had plummeted from forty degrees to the teens.

Don't underestimate these twenty-odd degrees.

Sudden loss of body temperature can be fatal.

Both sides of the mountain were in complete chaos due to the war.

Everyone was frantically putting on clothes and lighting charcoal fires.

By the time everything was finished, the temperature had dropped to around ten degrees Celsius.

It felt extremely cold.

"This temperature is deadly!" Old Hou kept rubbing his hands together, warming them by the fire. "How are we supposed to survive if it really drops to minus 100 degrees Celsius?"

The words fell.

From the next hilltop came the sound of wailing and crying.

It seems someone has died because of the sudden drop in temperature.

Mu Jiuyue added a piece of firewood, and the temperature inside the cave instantly stabilized.

“We’re inside the cave, so the changes are relatively small, which is why we haven’t felt uncomfortable,” Mu Jiuyue replied. “It’s a different story outside. This wave of severe cold is designed to eliminate a large number of humans. I estimate that at least half the population will be wiped out.”

"That's outrageous?" Old Hou was utterly shocked.

"This is already a conservative estimate," Mu Jiuyue said calmly. "This natural disaster wiped out the elderly over fifty and children under five. Those who survived were just lucky."
