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

In this apocalyptic world, it is extremely difficult to survive by fighting alone.

In the face of nature, humankind is as insignificant as an ant, fragile and easily defeated.

It's not as simple as just finding a place, digging a hole, and hiding.

Even if you manage to survive, where can you hide when the whole world becomes a vast ocean and all the land disappears?

It's not time for that yet. Right now, we're still in a stage where people are eating each other and harming each other. The power of nature is only just beginning to show. The real difficulties are yet to come.

Therefore, if we can integrate all the forces in K City and form an impregnable fortress, we will no longer be afraid of outsiders breaking in and disrupting the peace here.

Just do it.

After returning home, Mu Jiuyue began making preparations.

Although the warehouse area was already infinitely large, Mu Jiuyue still set aside a separate area to store the massive amount of ice and snow.

This stuff is everywhere now, but it will become a scarce commodity when extreme heat and desert storms arrive.

Now that we have the means to store it, we certainly can't miss it.

Originally, even without Wei Lie's involvement, Mu Jiuyue planned to take advantage of the last few days of the severe cold to collect all the ice and snow in the vicinity and keep it for future use.

Now that Lin Zhen needs it more urgently, let's take what's on his side first.

She asked Lao Hou to prepare some high-calorie, easy-to-eat food for her, bite-sized pieces, so she could replenish her energy while working.

They prepared several sets of spare clothes, layer upon layer.

Although the outside environment was really harsh, fortunately she still had the space as a cheat tool.

If it gets too cold, just hide in the space and rest for a while.

Now I have six hours a day to rest, which is basically enough!

Having made thorough preparations, Mu Jiuyue left the shelter quietly without notifying anyone.

With such heavy snow, don't even think about driving.

Not to mention, at this temperature, no car can withstand the heat.

As soon as it came out, it froze into a block of ice.

Mu Jiuyue used the most primitive way of walking—skiing.

She threw everything except the necessities into her spatial storage, then maneuvered her ski poles and sped off in Lin Zhen's direction.

As soon as she leaves.

Wei Lie stood at the cave entrance, gazing silently in the direction Mu Jiuyue had left, much like a waiting-for-husband stone.

"A-Jiu is very capable; she will definitely come back safely," Secretary Cao said, seeing through Wei Lie's thoughts.

Wei Lie did not answer, but his eyes became even gentler.

In the cave next door, Old Hou also craned his neck to look outside.

Although Mu Jiuyue didn't greet him, he knew that Mu Jiuyue had set off again.

This child always says he can't go out, he just stays at home.

But Lao Hou knew that this child couldn't stay still; she wasn't the type to be idle.

Since he can't be of much help, I'll just try my best not to hold her back!

After gliding for a while, Mu Jiuyue returned to her space to rest.

After resting for twenty minutes, we came out again to continue gliding.

After a few intermittent journeys, it took about four hours to finally reach the hill where Lin Zhen was.

Mu Jiuyue didn't even bother to greet Lin Zhen. She went straight to the mountaintop and started frantically collecting things.

The sheer power of the space is worth mentioning.

Everything that Mu Jiuyue could reach with her will was collected into her space.

The once majestic and towering mountain peak suddenly caved in with a large section.

The snow and ice looked as if someone had taken a bite out of it.

The snow is falling so heavily, how heavy?

The two were three meters apart, unable to distinguish between humans and animals.

So even though Mu Jiuyue made such a big commotion on the mountaintop, the people below didn't notice a thing.

Mu Jiuyue stayed on this mountaintop for three days straight.

These three days have exhausted her.

She had visited all the nearby mountains, and almost every mountain had been stripped of nearly 10,000 tons of ice and snow.

Those are several mountain peaks.

Looking at the vast amount of ice and snow in the space, Mu Jiuyue felt that she could build a winter snow world.

After completing this job, Mu Jiuyue went back to the shelter to rest for two days.

They slept soundly, as if in a deep, dark coma.

After resting, we set off again.

This time it's the shelter.

Because the shelter was built on a hillside, there was also snow on the mountaintop, and quite a lot of it.

The shelter was nearly destroyed by the last mudslide, so its perimeter was reinforced.

But this reinforcement is completely useless in the face of an avalanche.

Anyway, Mu Jiuyue didn't think it was a good idea.

However, with her there this time, the shelter is safe.

Mu Jiuyue used the same trick again, collecting items everywhere on the mountaintop, and relentlessly collecting them wherever she felt it was unsafe.

Unexpectedly, the hills near the shelter were lower than those near Lin Zhen's, but the area was quite large.

It took Mu Jiuyue four days to finish exploring the entire mountain.

By the end, Mu Jiuyue was so exhausted that her fingers were numb.

Finally, I forced myself to go back to my own place, changed my clothes, and didn't even bother to take a shower before collapsing into bed.

Old Hou was heartbroken and quickly prepared easily digestible and filling food, so that Mu Jiuyue could eat it as soon as she woke up.

And so, Mu Jiuyue slept until the afternoon of the next day before finally getting up, albeit unsteadily.

"Great hero, hurry up and eat." Old Hou simply pushed a food cart over to make it easier for Mu Jiuyue to eat.

"Thanks." Mu Jiuyue didn't stand on ceremony and grabbed her chopsticks, gulping them down in a burst.

"Is the matter settled?" Old Hou asked. "Are we going out again?"

"I'm not going far," Mu Jiuyue replied. "I'll just wander around the neighborhood."

"That's good," Old Hou said. "I see that the snow today is much lighter than yesterday."

Mu Jiuyue nodded and said, "The severe cold will soon be over. So let's take advantage of this time to stock up on ice and snow. We'll use it when the extreme heat comes. And when the desert storm comes, even a drop of water can be a lifesaver."

“Then I’ll go and collect some too.” Old Hou immediately perked up: “It’s a pity our cave is too small; it can’t hold too many things.”

"No need. I'll collect it; I'm quick." Mu Jiuyue said, "Any news from Wei Lie?"

"No," Old Hou replied. "The entire staff at General Manager Wei's place are working overtime to rush out medicine, saying it's to prevent the coming plague. Look, it's on the table. He told me to spray it all over the cave, making sure not to miss any corners."

"Okay, do as he says." Mu Jiuyue finished the last bite, threw down her chopsticks, and leaned back.

cool!

The blizzard is getting smaller.

Taking advantage of the last bit of time, Mu Jiuyue strolled around the hills near her shelter.

I've visited all the other hills except the one next door.

She also received a huge wave of snow and ice.

This time, building two Harbin Ice and Snow Worlds wouldn't be a problem.

Someone on the neighboring hill couldn't resist going out for a stroll. Seeing that the snow and ice around them had lessened considerably, they rubbed their eyes, unable to recognize the area, and muttered to themselves, "Am I having a memory problem? I remember last time the snow and ice reached the treetops, how come it's down to the roots today? I must have been cooped up for too long and gone crazy!"
