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

Wei Lie not only delivered disinfectant to Lao Hou, but also to the neighboring mountain.

Now is not the time to be stingy.

If the people on the next mountain get infected, they won't fare much better.

Furthermore, Wei Lie also contacted Lin Zhen and Director Lin, and both sides expressed their willingness to exchange this batch of disinfectant and antiviral medicine.

Lin Zhen was easy to deal with; he was the one who made the decisions. He brought out a lot of weapons to trade and also gave Mu Jiuyue her favorite gold.

The power struggle at the shelter is still ongoing, but Director Lin has gradually gained the upper hand. Unlike before, when he could only obediently follow orders, he has now begun to sideline the top two leaders and can act independently.

Wei Lie ignored the internal strife within the shelter.

All he needs is someone to step forward and make a deal with him.

Fortunately, Director Lin is shrewd enough; he has always had a strong sense of the big picture and a keen awareness of potential crises.

He used to be able to stockpile protective suits and cargo ships in advance, and now he also actively stocks up on medicines and drugs.

Director Lin is indeed a shrewd person.

The representative he sent this time was also a smooth talker.

"President Wei, you really have a lot of talented people here! You managed to eliminate the risk of avalanches without anyone noticing!"

Wei Lie looked utterly astonished, perfectly portraying his shock: "What? The risk of avalanche has been eliminated? Really?"

"Why are you being so polite with me, Mr. Wei?" The other party smiled and exchanged pleasantries: "Isn't this what Mr. Wei made?"

Wei Lie quickly waved his hand: "Hey, hey, I wouldn't dare take credit. I really didn't know about this. It's only because Director Lin is well-informed that I was trapped here and had no contact with the outside world! If Director Lin hadn't told me that several major cities in the south were out of contact due to avalanches, I would still be completely clueless! As for dealing with the avalanche hazard, I'm even more helpless! Look at the people around me, who has the ability to do this? I thought it was Director Lin who solved it! Could it be Lin Zhen?"

Seeing Wei Lie's sincere expression, the other person couldn't tell if he was being genuine or not, so he could only say, "Yes, this person is really capable. So much ice and snow, just like that, he moved it away. I don't know how he did it. It can't be like in novels, where he has a portable space, can it?"

Wei Lie asked earnestly, "What is a personal space?"

The other person laughed and waved his hand, saying, "I was just talking nonsense. How could that be? Hahahaha."

Wei Lie, however, said earnestly, "If you find this hero, you must let me know. Such a talent deserves to befriend!"

"sure."

Lin Zhen came in person.

They brought big news right away.

"General Wei, I just received news that the entire Southeast Shelter has been wiped out," Lin Zhen said gravely. "Not only that, the Northeast Shelter has suffered a 40% loss. It's said that the temperature there has reached minus 140 degrees Celsius."

Wei Lie gasped, "It was so tragic."

Lin Zhen nodded and said, "Currently, only the four major shelters in the Northwest, Southwest, Central, and Kyoto are still operating normally. The K City shelter is also quite outstanding."

"You mean, the Central Shelter will take over the K City Shelter?" Wei Lie asked.

“If the extreme cold ends, it’s very likely,” Lin Zhen said. “Once transportation resumes, they will send people.”

Wei Lie and Lin Zhen both fell silent.

Lin Zhen continued, “It’s completely chaotic now. The various shelters are all operating independently and are hardly following the control of the Beijing shelters. Orders can’t be transmitted, and even if they are, they are ineffective. I also heard that a riot broke out in the Northeast shelters, and the teams responsible for guarding the Northeast shelters were scattered. The casualty rate is eighty percent.”

Wei Lie was utterly shocked: "How could it be so high?"

"The same old story, power struggles. It's all infighting among ourselves." Lin Zhen rubbed his cheek and said, "Luckily, I listened to you and took matters into my own hands. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in much better shape. My boss is already dead."

Wei Lie patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Let's take care of K City; we can't worry about anything else."

Lin Zhen nodded and said, "That's what I think too. I can't take care of anyone else; I'm already exhausted just managing my tens of thousands of men! We've harvested a batch of the cold-resistant seeds from the shelter, which is barely enough to feed my men. Wei Lie, do you think there will really be a plague after the severe cold?"

"It's pretty close." Wei Lie said gravely, "Make preparations in advance. Also, I have a batch of seeds adapted to extreme heat here, you can use them first."

"I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks." Lin Zhen held Wei Lie's hand with emotion and said, "As long as I, Lin Zhen, live, K City will not fall into the hands of others."

"Let's defend our homeland together," Wei Lie replied solemnly.

After Lin Zhen left, Wei Lie said to Mu Jiuyue, "Lin Zhen was being conservative. I'm afraid the entire south has fallen! Even if some people are lucky enough to survive, once the plague hits, they will basically be wiped out."

Mu Jiuyue thought about what happened in her previous life, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

The people she met later were mostly from north of the Yangtze River.

There are very few south of the Yangtze River, and even if there are, they are extremely rare.

It's safe to say that only one in ten thousand survived.

"Take care of yourselves first," Mu Jiuyue said. "Our upcoming war won't be easy either."

It's not just not easy, it's extremely difficult.

three days later.

The heavy snowfall abruptly stopped.

The long-awaited sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth.

Mu Jiuyue wasn't a good student, and she really couldn't understand how extreme heat and extreme cold could switch seamlessly without any pause in between.

But it happened anyway.

As soon as the heavy snow stopped, Mu Jiuyue began frantically taking down the door curtains and window curtains, replacing them with blackout and heat-insulating ones.

Old Hou joined in, dismantling the insulation materials in the house one by one.

In just one day, the temperature jumped from minus 98 degrees to minus 40 degrees.

That's incredibly fast!

Wei Lie's side has more people, and they work faster.

In just one day, all the insulation layers were completely removed.

Seeing Wei Lie's actions, the people on the neighboring hills also began to repair their own hills.

They lived in the trenches anyway, so there wasn't much to do. All they had to do was clear the snow off their heads and add sun protection and insulation.

They also knew that the next natural disaster would be extreme heat and plague, accompanied by poisonous insects and mutated insects.

Therefore, we need to act quickly to repair the shelter and prepare drinking water in advance.

The world is now covered in ice and snow, which will turn into water when it melts.

Whether they can weather the next wave of natural disasters depends on whether they have stockpiled enough ice this time.

Both sides got to work in full swing.

The temperature is rising.

By the third day, the temperature had dropped to zero degrees Celsius.

The permafrost layer has begun to loosen.

Sure enough, two days later, Mu Jiuyue heard the roar of an avalanche in the distance.

That was truly deafening.

Countless snowflakes, carrying rubble, instantly filled half of K City's urban area with a devastating force.

Mu Jiuyue stood with Wei Lie, looking through binoculars. The more she looked, the more alarmed and chilled she became.

Nature is so powerful, can they really withstand it?
