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

After this day, the situation in K City has completely changed.

From a single dominant force in the shelter to a three-way competition, no one dares to underestimate Wei Lie's team of over a hundred people.

They are the fewest in number, but their fighting power is limitless.

Lin Zhen, in particular, was acutely aware of just how vast and precious the supplies Wei Lie possessed were.

How can a team that has no shortage of combat power and resources not be terrifying?

Compared to the secrecy surrounding Lin Zhen and the shelter, Duan Qi and Shen Qing on the neighboring mountain were walking on thin ice.

Although they knew Wei Lie was capable before, they never imagined that his strength would be so terrifying.

Those are firearms!

It's hidden deep in the mountainside; just a few steps away, you'll find an ammunition depot.

Even though the ice is frozen solid now, and even though Wei Lie's mountain can be easily surrounded from any direction or angle.

But who dares to say that surrounding them means taking them over?

The weapons they wield are never just for show.

Moreover, Wei Lie's side is truly full of talented people, with all kinds of talents.

So, are you scared?

Duan Qi and Shen Qing huddled together, exchanged a glance, and let out a long sigh. They were both glad that they had accepted Wei Lie's offer. If they had been even slightly out of their minds, their fate would probably have been no different from the more than three hundred corpses piled up at the mountain pass.

“Village Chief Wu is probably going to cry,” Shen Qing joked.

"Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins..." Duan Qi added, and the two understood each other perfectly.

Village Chief Wu acted very quickly, even faster than Shen Qing and Duan Qi had anticipated.

He grabbed Wu Aliang's head and went to Wei Lie to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back.

"Mr. Wei, it's all my fault. I failed to manage the people in the village properly, which led to such a huge blunder! Punish me as you see fit, I'll do whatever you want with me!" As soon as Village Chief Wu saw Wei Lie, he burst into tears and knelt down before him.

Wei Lie smiled calmly and said, "Village Chief Wu, what are you doing? Although this is the apocalypse, we can't rely on the old imperial dynasty system! What are you all standing there for? Can't you see Village Chief Wu is kneeling? Quickly help him up!"

After Village Chief Wu had knelt down firmly, Wei Lie's bodyguards went over to help him up, feigning concern: "Village Chief Wu, please get up quickly, this is shortening our lifespan."

Village Chief Wu's face trembled slightly. He took the opportunity to straighten up, his face full of remorse, and said, "General Wei is very righteous, but I cannot forget his kindness. What happened yesterday really frightened us. When I got back, I questioned everyone one by one, and that's when I found out that it was Wu Aliang who, out of jealousy, secretly joined forces with the Tiger Head Gang to do such a heinous and stupid thing. This is his confession; please take a look."

A testimony bearing a bloody handprint was presented to Wei Lie.

The words above were crooked and twisted, conveying resentment and anger.

Wei Lie withdrew his gaze and said casually, "Since Village Chief Wu has put righteousness before family and taken the initiative to strangle the culprit, I can't continue to pursue the matter. After all, we are related by marriage and are all on the same side."

Village Chief Wu: "Yes, yes, yes."

“But this matter has made my brothers down here very unhappy. It’s too unlucky to have such a nice wedding ruined like this,” Wei Lie said slowly.

"So, you mean..." Village Chief Wu's eyes gleamed, as if he was plotting something.

“Yesterday, Ajiu did the most work. I’m fine, but Ajiu…” Wei Lie smiled.

“Brother Jiu is one of Boss Wei’s men. As long as Boss Wei is willing to put in a good word for us, Wu Family Village is willing to do anything!” Village Chief Wu replied immediately.

"Great!" Wei Lie winked at Secretary Cao, who quickly took out a paper map and placed it on the table.

"This is..." Village Chief Wu hesitated for a moment, not understanding what Wei Lie was up to.

“This is the address of the K City vault.” Wei Lie picked up his teacup, gently blew away the tea leaves, and said, “Because of the sudden downpour, the vault was completely submerged beneath the lake. At the time, there were no suitable conditions for retrieval, so it remained at the bottom of the lake. Now that the water is frozen solid, it’s the perfect time to dig it out. A-Jiu doesn’t care about anything else, except for the glittering gold. I think she would be very happy if we had the K City vault’s reserves, wouldn’t she?”

Village Chief Wu's face twitched violently: "President Wei, you're making things too difficult for us. Even if it's frozen now, we still can't open the vault door."

"But we have the Tiger Head Gang, don't we?" Wei Lie chuckled. "With their help, what vault door can't be opened?"

Village Chief Wu paused abruptly.

He got it.

Wei Lie was never an easy person to talk to; he appeared gentle but was actually cunning.

He intends to have the Tiger Head Gang lead the charge, and then Wei Lie will double-cross them.

Wujia Village is caught in the middle between Wei Lie and the Tiger Head Gang, and is disliked by both sides.

If they succeeded, Wei Lie would forgive and forget. But Wu Family Village had completely offended the Tiger Head Gang and was now under their constant surveillance, facing the constant threat of being eliminated.

They failed; the entire Wu family village was wiped out, killed directly by the Tiger Head Gang.

Village Chief Wu was no longer as arrogant and composed as before. He kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and after thinking it over repeatedly, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "Don't worry, President Wei, I will definitely not let you down!"

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off." Wei Lie smiled as he put down his teacup.

When Village Chief Wu left, his back instantly hunched over, as if he had aged ten years.

He was as obedient as a quail.

They are no longer as shrewd as they once were.

Village Chief Wu returned to his den in dejection, and sighed to the villagers, "The younger generation is truly formidable. From now on, none of you should oppose Wei Lie."

three days later.

Wujia Village has been reduced by half.

Of those who returned alive, fewer than sixty remained.

There were fewer than ten young men.

The rest are mostly the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, and women.

Village Chief Wu's back became even more hunched.

Looking at the golden expanse before her, Mu Jiuyue could hardly believe her eyes: "All this gold is for me?"

Wei Lie replied with a smile, "These belong to all the brothers. You get 20%, I get 15%, and the rest will be divided equally among the brothers."

"Then why are they all here with me?" Mu Jiuyue asked.

“Everyone felt that it was safe to leave the items with you,” Wei Lie said. “I had already discussed it with them. They agreed to pay a 10% storage fee. Those who agreed would deliver the items, and those who disagreed would keep them themselves. They all agreed to leave the items with you. You would take your share of the gold, then the storage fee, and the rest would be ours.”

Mu Jiuyue gave Wei Lie a thumbs up: "Great!"

Wei Lie smiled so broadly his eyes crinkled: "You're too kind."

Mu Jiuyue turned to Lao Hou and shouted, "Lao Hou, I'm in a good mood today, let's have some barbecue!"

"Okay, I'll go marinate the meat right away." Old Hou responded from afar, "You like horse mackerel, I'll grill you a few more skewers."

"Row!"

The two of them were very satisfied with the barbecue.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wei Lie said, "I've heard that the Tiger Head Gang has robbed many wealthy people and amassed a lot of supplies. Taking advantage of the chaos of the apocalypse, they've seized power and slaughtered a town of over 100,000 people. Should we try to double-cross them again?"
