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

The patrol team was a little hesitant when they saw that Mu Jiuyue didn't support the idea.

At this moment, the old man, with several children, knelt forward a few steps, but had to stop under the aim of the weapons.

The children cried and wailed, "Uncle and Auntie, please take us in! We can all work, we can support ourselves with our own hands. We really can't stay in the D City shelter anymore. We don't want to die!"

Everyone looked at Mu Jiuyue, including the patrol team members.

They knew that Mu Jiuyue was Wei Lie's assistant on the surface, but she had a lot of say, and even Wei Lie would do things according to her ideas.

Moreover, Mu Jiuyue sold so many supplies to the Dawn Base in a very generous manner, so Mu Jiuyue's image in the eyes of the Dawn Base has always been very good.

Mu Jiuyue said, "This is a matter of principle, and I will not back down. However, I can give you some supplies, as long as you answer my questions and satisfy me."

"Please ask," the old man said eagerly, "We'll tell you anything we know!"

"How many people did the Central Shelter take from the D City Shelter in total? Did they only take the people, or did they take the supplies along with the people?" Mu Jiuyue asked.

The old man replied, "They took everything, including supplies and people. They only left us, the old, weak, and sick, with a small warehouse. We could barely sweep the cracks in the floor and that would only last us a month. Actually, the D City shelter wasn't built for us in the first place. I heard that the real person in charge of the D City shelter is a very wealthy man. He controls countless supplies, and naturally, many people are willing to risk their lives for him. The previous person in charge didn't listen to him and was killed by him."

Mu Jiuyue nodded: "Didn't the Central Shelter pursue his responsibility?"

“How could that be? The supplies he has are exactly what the Central Shelter is craving.” The old man replied, “After he went to the Central Shelter, he immediately became the fourth-in-command.”

Mu Jiuyue asked, "Among you people, who has been infected with the plague?"

The group of people immediately looked at Mu Jiuyue warily, and even the children who had just climbed over quietly retreated back into their own group.

No one answered this question.

"It seems so." Mu Jiuyue nodded.

The old man said sadly, "Young man, we don't lie. We can't guarantee whether we have contracted this strange disease or not, but for now, we are all fine."

"Hmm, you're honest enough not to deny it outright." Mu Jiuyue took a bag out of her pocket and tossed it to the old man: "This is a vaccine for the plague. It's most effective when used in the early stages of infection. The later it's used, the less effective it becomes."

"Thank you, my benefactor, thank you!" The old man picked up the bag, opened it, and found only five vaccines inside.

But there were more than twenty of them.

How can this amount of vaccine be enough to go around?

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to the children first! We old folks have lived long enough! But the children are still young; they can't die with us!"

"Grandpa Fang!" The children hugged the old man and cried loudly, "I don't want to! We'll die together, we'll live together! If you die, we'll be bullied to death!"

One of the patrol members couldn't help but ask Mu Jiuyue, "President Mu, why were they only given five vaccines?"

Mu Jiuyue didn't answer, but the people following her answered for her: "Is there even a question? Ajiu is testing these people's character. In a life-or-death situation, the first reaction is the most genuine."

Mu Jiuyue coldly replied, "No, I only want to keep five people. Survival of the fittest is something everyone has to go through."

At this moment, the twenty-odd people on the other side finally made a decision.

All five vaccines have been administered to young people.

The elderly people voluntarily chose to sacrifice themselves.

This scene brought tears to the eyes of the patrol team members.

Before they could finish being moved, Mu Jiuyue suddenly spoke coldly: "Oh, I've changed my mind. I can't accept any of them!"

Everyone looked at Mu Jiuyue in confusion: "Why? You just said you would only accept five people!"

Mu Jiuyue replied lazily but calmly, "What I just told them is that the vaccine is most effective in the early stages of infection."

"Yes." Everyone was even more puzzled.

Mu Jiuyue's lips curled up: "But I didn't say that people who aren't infected with the plague can use it too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, both sides were stunned!

The patrolmen reacted immediately, cocking their weapons and pointing them at the group: "Don't come any closer!"

Mu Jiuyue crossed her arms and said coldly, "You twenty-odd people are infected with the plague, right? You've only just been infected and haven't officially shown symptoms yet. So you want to sacrifice most of them to save the five children."

The group of people opposite them instantly turned ashen-faced.

Clearly, Mu Jiuyue was right again.

"I have five more vaccines on hand." Mu Jiuyue took out five more vaccines.

This move left both sides somewhat puzzled.

Mu Jiuyue said, "I need you to go and gather information around K City. I want to know how far the plague has spread in other places. Whoever gets the vaccine should go and gather information. The rest of you can stay here and wait for news. If the information I gather is satisfactory, I might be able to save all of you."

The group of people opposite them had looked like they were about to die, but when they heard Mu Jiuyue say that, their eyes turned cold again.

"Is this really true?" the old man asked, trembling.

"Really?" Mu Jiuyue turned around, picked up a bag from the cart, and tossed it to the other person. Then she drew her Tang sword and drew a deep line on the ground, saying, "This is your reward for gathering information. And this line, absolutely do not cross it. Anyone who dares to cross this line, I will kill them. Understand?"

The five young people who had been the first to receive the vaccine immediately came over and said, "Don't worry, brother. We'll go and find out the information you're looking for right away, and we definitely won't let you down!"

Mu Jiuyue nodded: "I'm not afraid that you'll run away with the vaccine. If ten of you don't come back, I'll use the rest as a sacrifice."

The group nodded in unison.

"Go ahead." Mu Jiuyue tossed five more vaccines over.

Sure enough, they used the vaccine immediately after receiving it.

It was clear that, just as Mu Jiuyue had said, they were all infected.

This time, the patrol team and the group led by Mu Jiuyue were completely convinced of Mu Jiuyue's abilities.

After the opposing team received their vaccines and ate something, they decisively split up and went to gather information.

Mu Jiuyue and the others didn't leave; they just waited where they were.

Two days later.

The ten men returned, weary from their journey.

It also brought despairing news.

"The towns near K City are deserted. Several neighboring cities have also been ravaged by the plague. Every day, the bodies of those who die from the plague cannot be cremated in time and can only be piled up by the roadside. In the hot weather, the bodies quickly decompose and rot, becoming infested with maggots and insects. They soon become new sources of infection, infecting those who are still relatively healthy. Of the survivors, less than one in ten remains."
