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

Mu Jiuyue shook her head and said, "These are all things for later. Let's deal with the present situation first. Have everyone increase patrols and not touch the corpses unnecessarily. If you find any, burn them with a flamethrower until they're reduced to ashes. I'll give you a bunch of flamethrowers later. Equip each patrolman with one and try to keep these things out of our vicinity."

"Okay." Wei Lie nodded and said, "It's getting hotter every day. A few of the teachers here worked together to build a new water-cooled air conditioner. I tried it out, and it works quite well. Shall we install it for you later?"

"Okay." Mu Jiuyue never really cared about such trivial matters.

After all, what kind of harsh environment didn't they experience in their past life?

But if you can live comfortably, who would want to suffer?

Since Wei Lie's people are so helpful, producing so many good things just by hand, won't I benefit from them during the cold winter?

It seems that the timing of recruiting those dozen or so teachers was quite opportune.

"Once the water at the foot of the mountain has receded, the entire mountaintop needs to be disinfected," Mu Jiuyue reminded him. "Also, let Lin Zhen and the shelter know about the discovery of the body."

"Okay." Wei Lie nodded.

However, before Wei Lie could inform Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen sent a message to Wei Lie first.

Such bizarre corpses were also discovered at Lin Zhen's base.

The people on Lin Zhen's side were rather reckless. One of the younger soldiers recklessly went forward to rummage through the items and ended up being parasitized by the insects on them.

It suddenly erupted when they returned to Dawn Base.

In front of tens of thousands of people, he performed a parasite transformation.

At that moment, countless insects emerged from his face and instantly wrapped him in a cocoon.

The young soldier died on the spot.

Those who witnessed it were all stunned by the scene! They even forgot to deal with the poor little soldier.

Some people reacted quickly enough, picked up their guns, and fired wildly at the soldier's body.

The thick, green sap, accompanied by the corpse's convulsions, emitted an extremely foul stench.

The smoke made everyone around them vomit.

Later, it was the quartermaster who had incendiary bombs brought over, which finally wiped out the swarm of unsettling insects.

But the little soldier was also reduced to ashes, leaving no trace.

This unexpected turn of events left the people at the Dawn Base terrified and utterly panicked.

After carefully inquiring about what had happened, Lin Zhen keenly sensed that something was amiss. He immediately summoned the others who had gone out with the young soldier and, upon hearing their experiences, knew that the matter was serious.

This completely overturned his understanding.

However, Lin Zhen knew that this was the end times, so all perceptions could not be measured by previous ways of thinking.

This is an enemy that all of humanity must face together.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhen sent someone over to deliver the message to Wei Lie.

Wei Lie, holding the message, raised an eyebrow and said, "Go back and tell Lin Zhen that I've also discovered this situation. The only way to deal with these creatures is to keep your distance and prevent the insects from getting close. A musket is more effective than a regular gun. If you don't have a musket, you can use gasoline or diesel fuel. I have some disinfectant, but not enough; we need to build a factory. I've already contacted Director Lin; we'll go to the shelter tomorrow, sit down, and discuss what to do."

“Understood, General Wei. I will pass on the message to our base commander. We will attend the meeting on time.” The other party nodded: “We do not have many muskets on our side, and we cannot equip everyone who goes out. I wonder if General Wei could trade some? Our base commander said that you can name your price. You have helped us solve the risk of avalanches, and we are grateful to you.”

Wei Lie smiled.

No further explanation was given.

He said, "I can spare five thousand, but I won't have any more."

"It's already very good." The other party breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "We are just a bunch of rough men and we don't know what's suitable, so Commander Lin asked us to bring some gold. The quality is a bit poor, but it's genuine."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people came over carrying several boxes.

The box was opened, and it was filled with dazzling gold.

The gold looks rough and isn't of very good quality; it was clearly melted down hastily.

Wei Lie accepted it with a smile.

In business, there should be give and take; that's the way to long-term development.

After seeing the other party off, Wei Lie took the gold to Mu Jiuyue and asked, "Take a look, is this gold usable?"

Mu Jiuyue asked in surprise, "Where did you find it? This kind of gold looks like it was refined by some unorthodox method."

“You guessed right. This is a thank-you fee from Lin Zhen for preventing the avalanche, and also for the cost of buying muskets. Those muskets aren't worth much, so this extra money is for you,” Wei Lie said. “If you think it'll be useful, take it. If not, I'll talk to Lin Zhen.”

Mu Jiuyue nodded: "Okay."

“I’m going to the shelter tomorrow so the three of us can sit down and discuss how to deal with the situation ahead. Do you want to go and take a look?” Wei Lie asked again.

“Okay, it’s good to go and take a look.” Mu Jiuyue nodded: “It has been a while since I’ve been to the shelter.”

"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes." After saying this, Wei Lie got up and left without any hesitation.

After Wei Lie left, Mu Jiuyue put the gold into her spatial storage.

After spatial detection, the gold could be identified, and Mu Jiuyue also knew how much gold Lin Zhen had given this time.

It weighs a total of 6 tons.

That's quite a lot.

Could it be that Lin Zhen discovered a gold mine and then took his men to refine gold?

Since Lin Zhen had shown such great sincerity, Mu Jiuyue had no intention of treating him unfairly.

So, the next day when they went to the shelter together, they first went to see Lin Zhen and gave him a truck full of mosquito repellent supplies, including mosquito nets, gauze, security mesh for windows, security doors, and so on.

These were all items Mu Jiuyue salvaged from the hardware market during a rainstorm, all for free.

Although the water has gradually receded, the hardware parts that were soaked in water and subjected to severe cold are no longer usable.

Unless it is scrap metal that is remelted and recast.

However, without automated production lines, these are all unrealistic hopes.

Therefore, the gifts that Mu Jiuyue sent directly touched Lin Zhen's heart. Overjoyed, Lin Zhen held Mu Jiuyue's hand and thanked her repeatedly, wishing he could become sworn brothers on the spot.

Wei Lie couldn't stand it any longer, so he made up an excuse, pulled the two of them apart, and said, "It's getting late, let's hurry up and meet with Director Lin."

"Okay, okay, let's go together." Lin Zhen happily followed along.

When Director Lin entered, he saw Lin Zhen and Wei Lie chatting happily.

The cunning and shrewd Director Lin immediately felt the pressure and began to value Wei Lie's abilities even more.
