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

After discussing it, Mu Jiuyue and Wei Lie both agreed that cooperating with the Dawn Base would be entirely beneficial.

Compared to Director Lin, that old fox who betrays us at the drop of a hat, Lin Zhen is much more reliable.

Of course, this doesn't mean the shelter has given up on cooperation.

In business, who would complain about having too many customers?

“Tell Lin Zhen that you want gold and scarce resources. We’ll provide all the necessities – food, clothing, shelter, and transportation,” Mu Jiuyue said. “How much gold do you have left?”

"It's about ten tons, but I'll have to ask Secretary Cao for the exact number," Wei Lie replied. "You want it now? I'll have someone send it over to you."

Mu Jiuyue tallied up the amount of gold she had and nodded: "Okay, send it to my place. I'll take this list back first, and you can find someone to deliver it to Lin Zhen tomorrow."

“Okay,” Wei Lie readily agreed.

As soon as Mu Jiuyue left, Secretary Cao came over: "President Wei, our warehouse is full again. Should we open a new cave, or...?"

Wei Lie nodded: "Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Let them relax sometime. Put the keys down, I'll take care of it later."

"Yes." Secretary Cao put down the warehouse key and added, "Hogg and Wu Qinglan's wedding is in three days. What do you think the arrangements should be?"

"Please invite Boss Hou to cook, and invite Wu Jiacun, Duan Qi, Shen Qing, and the others to the wedding." Wei Lie's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Also, strengthen the cave's defenses and beware of anyone taking the opportunity to wander around. Our own people know how much we have."

"Understood." Secretary Cao nodded. "I'll arrange it right away."

Secretary Cai dispatched thirty people to move over ten tons of gold, bit by bit, like ants carrying grains of rice, to Mu Jiuyue's cave.

A dozen tons of gold sounds like a lot, but in reality, when it's piled up on the ground, it's just a small heap.

Mu Jiuyue gave each of them a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) as a token of appreciation for their hard work, and they thanked her happily before leaving.

On such a cold day, being able to drink a shot of strong liquor is a real treat.

After everyone else left, Mu Jiuyue stored the gold in her spatial storage.

"100,0000 grams of gold detected. Is it intended for material replication? Yes/No."

Mu Jiuyue chose yes.

The system then prompts Mu Jiuyue to select the object to copy.

Mu Jiuyue carefully selected ordinary rice and flour in bags of 100 jin, 50 jin, and 20 jin, and then replicated them ten thousand times.

They also selected 500 grams/bag of ordinary table salt, soy sauce, vinegar, MSG, and chicken essence, and replicated them ten thousand times.

Next, they selected common cooking oil brands on the market, as well as common chili sauces, fermented bean curd, and broad bean paste, and replicated them ten thousand times.

After thinking it over, they selected sweet potatoes, potatoes, onions, soybeans, mung beans, and radishes, which are resistant to storage and do not spoil easily, and replicated them ten thousand times.

Not eating vegetables for a long time can cause health problems.

Since Lin Zhen is now practically one of us, and has given us quite a few good things, we should naturally pamper him even more.

With food secured, it's time to address the issue of clothing.

Mu Jiuyue rummaged through her supplies and found that she didn't have much men's clothing, just enough for herself and Lao Hou.

However, Wei Lie had stored quite a lot.

His group consisted of men of all shapes and sizes, dressed in clothes and shoes in every size imaginable.

So Mu Jiuyue pulled out all these clothes and shoes, and copied them ten thousand times over in every size.

There are still several months until the extreme cold ends, so Mu Jiuyue only prepared enough for a few months.

We've already sent over a batch of medicine, which should last us a while, so we won't be giving any more for now.

Then there are building materials.

JUN Camp actually has no shortage of building materials, but they are all submerged under the ice and cannot be retrieved in the short term.

Therefore, Mu Jiuyue provided the amount of temporary buildings, which could be retrieved at any time once the severe cold subsided.

A whole host of things were prepared.

The next day, Mu Jiuyue instructed Wei Lie's men to deliver the prepared supplies to Lin Zhen.

Just as she was about to leave, Wei Lie called her back: "September, I have some things here, could you please keep them for me? Here's the key, the new password is:..."

Mu Jiuyue nodded: "Okay, I'll go in a bit."

"Also, Hogg and Wu Qinglan's wedding is the day after tomorrow. Do you think we could invite Boss Hou to be the head chef?" Wei Lie asked with a smile. "It's been more than half a year since the apocalypse, and this is the first wedding we've had. Even though those people in Wu Family Village don't have good intentions, we still need to make it a good occasion and boost morale. What do you say?"

Mu Jiuyue thought for a moment and then smiled and agreed: "Okay, Lao Hou will definitely be happy to come. These days, Lao Hou has been depressed and feels that his life has no value. It would be good to find him some work."

“Okay, it’s settled then.” Wei Lie lowered his voice and said, “I will increase security on the wedding day. However, with so many people around, I’m afraid someone might take advantage of the chaos to steal. So, you can take everything from these warehouses.”

After saying that, Wei Lie winked at Mu Jiuyue.

Mu Jiuyue understood Wei Lie's meaning almost instantly.

Is he trying to set a trap for law enforcement?

Row.

Cooperate.

After Wei Lie left, Mu Jiuyue took the key to the storage area, entered a new password, and opened the doors of several warehouses.

Looking at the overflowing supplies in front of her, Mu Jiuyue couldn't help but click her tongue in admiration.

Wei Lie is a born businessman.

Even in the apocalypse, even when everyone is displaced, he can still make a living and accumulate capital for his survival.

These supplies are all hard currency.

There are tens of thousands of grain bins that can hold ten tons each.

There are 100,000 silage bins that can hold 20 tons each.

There are countless bags of rice and flour.

Boxes of instant noodles, knife-cut noodles, noodles with soybean paste, egg noodles, dried noodles, buckwheat noodles, hot and sour noodles, snail noodles, sweet potato noodles, tapioca noodles, scallion oil noodles, self-heating hot pots of various sizes, compressed dry food, compressed vegetables, ham sausages, pickled vegetables, dried tofu, cured meat, sausages, ham...

The end is as far as the eye can see.

Various canned vegetables, fruits, fish, beef, luncheon meat, and jerky of all flavors were piled up to the brim.

"Tsk tsk, they really know how to make money off resources!" Mu Jiuyue rubbed her nose and muttered to herself, "If I were to establish a base, the first person I'd try to win over would be Wei Lie. He's definitely got the job of a finance minister!"

I'm not envious anymore, I'm taking it all!

The warehouse, which was originally full, suddenly became empty.

It was as if those things had never existed.

As soon as Mu Jiuyue left, Wei Lie had people fill the cave with some worthless or hard-to-take items.

For example, thousands of tons of heavy coal, large barrels of gasoline and diesel, bottled water which is now in abundance, cement, sand, stone slabs, security doors, security windows, tiled floors, and so on.

It cleared out the passageway that was so congested that it was impossible to move.

The entire cave instantly felt refreshed, making it the perfect place to hold a wedding.
