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

Having already experienced extreme heat, torrential rain, and then severe cold, the city is now as brittle as a thin biscuit, crumbling into dust at the slightest touch.

Faced with an avalanche, let alone resisting it, even the slightest tremor would cause it to crumble and collapse.

Those survivors who stubbornly refused to go to the shelter and clung to a sliver of hope, and who still managed to live, all broke down when they faced the avalanche.

"Heaven is going to kill me!" someone cried out in despair, and before the snow disaster arrived, jumped off the building, ending his life prematurely.

Those who were too cowardly to die could only hunch over, embrace each other, and face death together.

In their lifetime, people schemed against each other.

People become more at peace when they are on the verge of death.

The demise of half of K City has silenced the survivors of the other half.

They dared not linger in the city any longer, obediently packed up their remaining supplies, and went to the shelter.

The once glorious and splendid urban area of ​​K City has since vanished completely.

There are no longer any humans in the urban area of ​​K City.

Instead, there were Lin Zhen's Dawn Base, shelters, and a few remaining mountain dwellers.

Duan Qi and Shen Qing, who lived on the neighboring mountain, got together and decided to collectively surrender to Wei Lie and submit to his rule.

Having witnessed the power of nature, they finally realized that it was simply impossible for them to survive in this apocalyptic world on their own.

If they hadn't lived next door to Wei Lie and benefited from his connections, they probably would have been like the other citizens of K City buried under the snow, never seeing the light of day again.

Wei Lie was not surprised at all by Duan Qi and Shen Qing's defection.

This was originally part of his plan.

Although Duan Qi is not highly educated, he is quite capable and a qualified factory management talent.

Shen Qing is educated, capable, and skilled in martial arts, making him a perfect candidate to fill the shortage of bodyguards for Wei Lie.

Moreover, after spending the past six months together, their character can be basically judged as acceptable, and they can be included in my team.

"I understand your good intentions." Wei Lie smiled and poured them a cup of tea, his attitude very warm. He even inquired about the health of the people in their group, saying, "We have doctors and nurses here, all professionals. Although the severe cold has ended, the lingering illnesses from that period may not heal so quickly. If you trust me, I will arrange for a doctor to go and examine each of them. In this apocalypse, health is the most important thing!"

Duan Qi was deeply moved and said, "President Wei, thank you for taking us old, weak, sick and disabled people in..."

Wei Lie waved his hand: "Hey, don't say it like that. I don't like hearing it like that. To be honest, I really like your little girl. She and my little boy are a perfect match... Hahahaha, look at me, I always say the wrong thing. Although I'm not old, I always have the mentality of an old father towards my brothers."

Duan Qi smiled and said, "After my daughter came back, she always mentioned President Wei and the other young men in her conversations. I have absolute trust in President Wei's abilities and character. I can rest assured that I can entrust my daughter to him in the future."

"Of course, of course. If you don't mind that my place is simple and unpretentious, I'll certainly welcome you with open arms." Wei Lie warmly shook Duan Qi's hand and said, "We're all family!"

Duan Qi was deeply moved. He went back and, with his team packed up, joined Wei Lie's team.

It was much simpler for Shen Qing's side.

He led his fellow disciples to spar with Wei Lie's bodyguards in front of Wei Lie, proving their martial prowess.

“President Wei, we are all rough men and don’t know how to mince words. I, Shen Qing, am willing to bring my junior brothers and sisters to seek refuge with you, President Wei. We hope you will take us in. As long as you give us a meal, you can arrange the rest.” Shen Qing clasped his hands in a fist and said, “A good minister chooses his master, and a good bird chooses its tree. Please grant our request, President Wei.”

"Oh, Brother Shen, I've been waiting for you!" Wei Lie pulled Shen Qing aside, his smile as warm as a spring breeze. "To be honest, I've long admired your team. Every single one of you is a master, a true talent. But I knew my own abilities weren't up to par, so I didn't dare to hope for anything. Now that Brother Shen is willing to lend me a hand, I'm naturally overjoyed. Don't worry, I, Wei Lie, keep my word. From now on, we're all brothers eating from the same pot. As long as I, Wei Lie, have a bite to eat, none of us will go hungry!"

Shen Qing's smile became much more genuine.

These days, he could also see that Wei Lie truly treated his subordinates like human beings, and his interactions with them were like a gentle breeze.

Such a person is a wealthy man in times of peace and prosperity, and a ruthless hero in times of chaos and decline.

Moreover, he could tell that Wei Lie was truly wealthy and particularly adept at hiding his wealth. Despite the large number of people in Wujia Village who made excuses to wander around the village every day, not a single person discovered where Wei Lie had hidden his supplies.

Based on these points alone, following Wei Lie will not be a bad thing.

Shen Qing even regretted not surrendering sooner, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered so much during those months of severe cold.

With the addition of Duan Qi and Shen Qing, Wei Lie's team instantly grew to nearly three hundred people.

As a result, a large area of ​​the neighboring hilltop was instantly cleared out.

The people of Wujia Village were dumbfounded.

They never expected that Duan Qi and Shen Qing would leave so suddenly, betray them so easily, abandon them so readily, and then join them again so abruptly. They completely caught dozens of people from Wu Family Village off guard.

Village Chief Wu was so anxious that he developed blisters on his lips.

The Wu Family Village of today is not the same as the Wu Family Village of the past.

After the incident with the Tiger Head Gang, almost all the able-bodied men in Wu Family Village died, leaving only a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people. Without the protection of Duan Qi and Shen Qing, they would be nothing more than easy targets to be bullied in this apocalypse.

Village Chief Wu went to find Wei Lie without stopping and asked to join Wei Lie's team.

However, this time Wei Lie refused.

Wei Lie doesn't accept just any trash.

"Mr. Wei, what does this mean?" Village Chief Wu broke down: "All the girls in our village have married there, so why can they accept Duan Qi and Shen Qing, but not us?"

"Village Chief Wu, do you want me to remind you about the Tiger Head Gang?" Wei Lie's face turned cold. "Do you really think we know nothing? Didn't Village Chief Wu inquire about how the Tiger Head Gang was wiped out?"

Village Chief Wu subconsciously took two steps back, his face dejected, and said, "President Wei, isn't everything over now?"

"You went over there, but I didn't," Wei Lie said coldly. "I, Wei Lie, have never been a pushover, someone who can be easily bullied. I hold grudges! I've already been quite lenient by allowing you to live on the next mountain. Village Chief Wu, don't push your luck!"

After hesitating for a long time, Village Chief Wu finally went back, his body hunched over.
