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

Three days later, the patrolmen brought news that several more groups of refugees had arrived and tried to approach the mountain shelter, but the patrols had blocked them all.

However, with more and more refugees coming here, they will eventually be unable to stop them with their limited manpower.

This is when Lin Zhen is needed.

Wei Lie immediately contacted Lin Zhen, hoping that Lin Zhen could send people to stand guard and defend the area.

Wei Lie provides three meals a day and an additional attendance allowance.

Lin Zhen readily agreed.

When Director Lin of the shelter learned of this, he did not choose to remain uninvolved and took the initiative to send a team of more than 100 people to help maintain order.

That day, Mu Jiuyue saw the campfire again.

As was customary, she picked up her weapon and went to meet the twenty-odd people.

However, this time, those people didn't provide intelligence; instead, they asked Mu Jiuyue for help.

The refugees who were blocked outside by the patrol team discovered that the twenty-odd people had food and drink, and they immediately had evil intentions. They joined forces with several groups of people to rob them.

In desperation, they lit a campfire, hoping to call for help from Mu Jiuyue.

Without any hesitation, Mu Jiuyue raised her hand and began to fire.

Bang bang bang!

Several gunshots rang out, instantly silencing the violent vagrants.

"Trying to cause trouble on my turf, are you looking down on me? Or are you looking down on the weapons in my hands?" Mu Jiuyue never put down her weapon, constantly aiming at the group of people.

Sure enough, the perpetrators immediately released the person they had robbed, took a few steps back, and quickly clarified: "Young man, please don't misunderstand, we didn't mean to offend you. We were just really hungry, and we wanted to survive too. There was just a small misunderstanding during our communication, it's all a misunderstanding, we'll clear it up once it's been explained."

One of the boys who was being beaten shouted, "They're lying! They're not only going to steal our food and water, but they're also going to kidnap us and use us as food!"

The crowd that committed the violence looked at the boy with a sinister gaze that instantly turned sinister.

Mu Jiuyue was not surprised at all.

None of those who have survived until now are truly devout believers.

“They’re under my protection,” Mu Jiuyue said. “You dare to touch them?”

“Young man, what they can do, we can do too, and we can even do it better! How old are they? What kind of work can they do? I’m different. I’m strong and healthy. Whatever you want me to do, I can do it.” A man in the group of perpetrators stepped forward and said, “As long as you can give me some food, everything is negotiable.”

Mu Jiuyue remained vigilant, keeping her eyes fixed on the other party, and asked in return, "Oh? Then tell me first, where did you come from? How did you get here? With the plague raging outside, how did you manage to cross the plague zone safely?"

A petite woman stepped forward and replied in a hoarse voice, “We came from Y City. To avoid the plague zone, we traveled over mountains and took a long detour. We originally wanted to go to the central shelter, but they have stopped accepting outsiders. Someone directed us to the K City shelter, saying that there is plenty of food and clothing here, and everyone here can find work. That's why we came.”

"Has anyone among you been infected with the plague?" Mu Jiuyue asked.

"I don't know," the woman replied somberly. "We can't guarantee it. But even if we live to our last breath, we don't want to give up."

Mu Jiuyue frowned.

Another shelter in central Taiwan.

It seems that Lin Zhen's team dealt with the people at the central shelter quite well, otherwise they wouldn't have caused them so much trouble.

"Are there any other people from other places?" Mu Jiuyue asked again.

“I fled all the way from the south to the north.” Someone else spoke up: “The south was basically all wiped out. We were lucky because we were located further north and managed to escape the avalanche. But no one in the southernmost part survived.”

Mu Jiuyue pressed further, "Didn't anyone warn of the avalanche? Didn't anyone at the southern shelter realize this danger?"

“Who in the South has ever seen such heavy snow?” The other person smiled bitterly. “Besides, ever since the satellite lost signal, the people up there have been busy seizing power. They don’t care about the lives of ordinary people anymore. They all want to be local tyrants in the South. They think the South is rich in water and soil, and even if there is a drought, they will not lack water. Therefore, when someone from the North sent them a message to be vigilant, they ignored it.”

“I used to be an engineer, responsible for water resource allocation. I did warn my superiors, but they wouldn’t believe me. They said avalanches usually happen in mountainous areas, not on plains.” The man continued, “But it happened anyway. Avalanches in the south are different from those in the north. It’s like the earth suddenly cracked open, spewing out chunks of snow. Wherever the snow chunks hit, that place becomes hell.”

"I've never seen such a bizarre avalanche; it's completely shattered my understanding," the man said helplessly. "The avalanche came too suddenly and too fast. By the time those people tried to coordinate, it was too late. That day, I was at the hydroelectric station on the mountaintop, coordinating water supply needs. Then I watched helplessly as those snow chunks indiscriminately and relentlessly struck every place where humans lived. The vast snow-covered mountains were filled with anguish."

"A water conservancy engineer?" Mu Jiuyue became interested. "Were you the only one who escaped from the South?"

“There are two more,” the other person replied, “but they both died on the way. Only I was lucky enough to survive until now.”

Mu Jiuyue put down the gun in her hand and asked him, "Are you infected?"

"The probability is sixty percent." The other party didn't lie and chose to be honest: "It just hasn't taken effect yet, so I'm not sure."

"Come here." Mu Jiuyue pointed at the other person, then tilted her head and said into the walkie-talkie on her collar, "Someone come and take him for a checkup."

Soon, several people arrived with weapons.

The hydraulic engineer was taken away quickly.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the others introduced themselves: "Hey buddy, no, I mean, I used to be a senior executive at a large company. I'm very good at management..."

"It's the apocalypse now, who would want you to manage things? Brother, look at me! I used to be a farmer, I can raise chickens, ducks, and pigs, I have experience in all of them!"

"Me too! I'm a bricklayer, I can build houses!"

"I grow vegetables, and I'm the best at growing vegetables!"

"I'm……"

More and more people are frantically introducing themselves.

Others who didn't have any special skills also got anxious and racked their brains to promote themselves.

"Don't be in such a hurry," Mu Jiuyue stopped their noise. "I'll ask you one more question: Which of you has ever eaten a person?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously noisy scene instantly became as quiet as a chicken's nest.

Mu Jiuyue smiled.

It seems you've tried them all.

Those who have eaten human flesh can no longer be considered human.

A dog that has bitten people, or a person who has eaten people, can only be considered an animal.

In this apocalypse, there are already enough animals; there's really no need to raise a few more.
