Natural Disaster Strikes: I Stockpiled Billions and Carved My Way Through the Apocalypse
Chapter 73 Investigating Wei Lie's Background
Wu Xiaoling looked at Mu Jiuyue with a wronged expression: "Ninth Brother, that's not what I meant. Is it because I came at the wrong time...?"
After speaking, she glanced timidly at Wu Zixin, as if Wu Zixin had wronged her greatly.
Mu Jiuyue watched the commotion with her arms crossed.
Have these two women still not realized that she is the same as them?
They even fought over her?
From a woman's perspective, competing with other women is quite infuriating.
But from a man's perspective, watching women compete for themselves is quite interesting.
Wu Zixin, unable to bear Wu Xiaoling's manipulative behavior, immediately raised her hand and shoved Wu Xiaoling: "What are you pretending for in front of me? Aren't you just after Brother Jiu's wealth and status, wanting to freeload? I'm not like you! Brother Jiu and I are soulmates, we're partners in spirit!"
Wu Xiaoling looked at Mu Jiuyue with a wronged expression: "Ninth Brother~"
The tone of that voice, with its twists and turns, sent chills down Mu Jiuyue's spine, giving her goosebumps all over.
"You vixen! I'll tear your mouth apart!" Wu Zixin couldn't hold back any longer and rushed up to fight with Wu Xiaoling.
Mu Jiuyue nimbly leaped backward, putting distance between herself and the two blind women.
However, the commotion quickly attracted the attention of many people, who gathered in the area.
"Wu Xiaoling, I'll fight you to the death! There are so many men out there, do you have to snatch one from me? I'll tear you apart, you shameless bastard!"
"Wu Zixin, you need to be reasonable! What do you mean by 'stealing' him from you? Is Ninth Brother yours? He's a complete stranger to you, just like he is to me. Why can't I compete with you fairly?"
"You still have the nerve to talk to me about fair competition? Back in the village, you always liked to steal my things. You'd take anything I liked! If someone was nice to me, you'd steal their attention. And even in the apocalypse, you're still the same!"
"Waaaaah, you really misunderstood me. If someone likes me and wants to be nice to me, I can't stop them! You're really overthinking it!" Wu Xiaoling spoke softly, but her hands were anything but, and she yanked a clump of hair out of her head.
Mu Jiuyue couldn't help but gasp in shock.
This woman is ruthless.
Amidst the commotion, a few people looked around and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, quietly slipped away from the group and quickly strolled along the connecting paths between the caves.
They thought they were being discreet enough, but little did they know that the cameras hidden in the mountain crevices were watching their every move.
Today is Hogg and Wu Qinglan's wedding day, so everyone went to watch the festivities, leaving only two people to guard the warehouse.
Moreover, the warehouse key was hanging on the wall, as if they weren't afraid of anyone stealing it.
Some people, not believing in bad luck, deliberately had someone make a commotion, diverting the last two guards from the warehouse. Then they quickly grabbed the keys and opened the warehouse door.
When they looked inside, they were immediately dumbfounded!
"Has Wei Lie gone mad! Such a huge warehouse, and he's filled it with a bunch of worthless stones, tiles, cement, and sand? Can you eat or drink this stuff?"
"My warehouse here is full of coal. Damn, even though coal is scarce now, there aren't many of us who can take it all with us!"
"At least yours are still usable, but my warehouse is full of dirt! Holy crap! A whole warehouse full of dirt! What is Wei Lie trying to do? Is he going to farm in this cave?"
There were more than a dozen warehouses in the area, but none of them were used to store grain!
After locking the warehouse, the group tiptoed back to the wedding venue.
At this point, the catfight between Wu Xiaoling and Wu Zixin had come to an end, and everyone was eagerly anticipating the start of the banquet.
The group quickly returned to Village Chief Wu's side and reported in a low voice: "Village Chief, we have already checked. Wei Lie does have a lot of supplies, but they are mostly things that cannot be eaten or drunk. There is a lot of coal, gasoline, and diesel, but we can't take much with us."
"Village chief, do you think Wei Lie knew we would be spying on him, and deliberately moved all the grain?"
"That Wei Lie is a treacherous bastard! I don't believe that with so many ships transporting supplies here, there wouldn't be a single grain of food, and it would all be inedible stuff!"
Village Chief Wu sneered and said, "Is that even a question? Of course, we're keeping an eye on you! When you went over, weren't there only a few people guarding the warehouse?"
Several people nodded in unison.
“They anticipated that we would spy on them, so they moved in advance.” A hint of impatience flashed in Village Chief Wu’s eyes. “But the more they do this, the more it proves that Wei Lie must have hidden a lot of good stuff! It’s understandable that they couldn’t find it in such a short time.”
"So, village chief, are we just going to give up like this?" Several villagers were particularly indignant. "We live next door to each other. Why can they eat meat and drink alcohol while we can only eat wood and grass roots? I heard that today's wedding banquet not only has meat and vegetables, but also unlimited drinks. They're really not short of resources for such a lavish wedding!"
"Give up? How could we?" A glint of light flashed in Village Chief Wu's eyes. "I've told you all before to treat the girls in the village well, but you wouldn't listen. Now, isn't it time to rely on these girls? I've already spoken with Qinglan. After she marries here, she'll find out the situation here as quickly as possible. Then, we'll coordinate an attack from the inside out—"
The fervor and ambition in the eyes of the few people from Wujia Village could no longer be concealed.
The wedding ended very simply.
There was neither the elaborate phoenix coronet and wedding gown of the previous life, nor the master of ceremonies singing and dancing; just a few simple words were spoken, and the wedding banquet officially began.
Plates of meat and vegetables were served, and before they even hit the table, people were already eagerly reaching out their chopsticks to grab the food.
For a moment, the entire restaurant was filled with the sounds of people shoveling food into each other's mouths; no one wasted their breath chatting.
The bride, Wu Qinglan, proudly showed off her pregnant belly as she followed Hogg around, toasting everyone in turn.
When the toast was served to Wei Lie and Mu Jiuyue, Wu Qinglan said with a grin, "Ninth Brother, you're so charming! All the girls in our village are fighting over you! Tell your sister-in-law, which one have you taken a fancy to?"
Mu Jiu's lips twitched slightly as she replied, "I didn't like any of them."
Wu Qinglan paused for a moment, then smiled to cover it up and said, "Why are you still embarrassed? It's okay if you're too shy to say it in front of others. Just tell your sister-in-law quietly later."
After saying that, Wu Qinglan said to Wei Lie, "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for arranging our wedding. I'd like to propose a toast to you."
Wei Lie took a sip of his wine, then said meaningfully, "Now that you've married into this family, you're one of us. Live a good life here, behave yourself, and we won't mistreat you. As long as Hogg has food to eat, you won't go hungry."
