Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at him, "What, do you want to take my car?"

Mu Yang was taken aback, then he chuckled helplessly.

"Do I really look like the kind of bad guy who'd steal things from a child?"

"Can we just forget about what I said earlier?" He waved it off.

Immediately, he curved his lips in a faint smile.

"You're really a little overly cautious, aren't you? Still, given the state of the world right now, it's good to be careful."

Suddenly, he lowered his voice.

"And don't worry, I won't mention to anyone that you came to me to modify your car. Let's call this our little secret."

Yun Xiaoxiao looked at him.

She understood what he meant implicitly - he wouldn't tell anyone else that she had her car modified in preparation for the apocalypse.

Because such a thing could easily make people think too much.

Even that car itself would be something worth the envy.

After scrutinizing him for a bit, and feeling that he had no ill intent, Yun Xiaoxiao decided to let him off the hook for the time being.

She flashed her practiced facade of a smile.

"Mm, thank you, brother."

The light in Mu Yang's eyes flickered, "Is this little girl practicing how to change faces or what?"

The contrast was stark.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Yun Xiaoxiao's shoulder.

There was a small scorpion there, and it was on the move!

"Is it... alive?" Mu Yang was stunned.

Yun Xiaoxiao pointed at the little scorpion, "Yes, this is Little Cutie."

"Little Cutie?" Mu Yang's mouth twitched a corner.

The little venomous creature that looked terrifying was actually named Little Cutie?

Well, quite unique indeed.

Later, Mu Yang wanted to leave some biscuits and water for Yun Xiaoxiao.

But she didn't want them, so he had to take them back.

When he was gone, Yun Xiaoxiao opened a French sandwich cake and put it on the ground.

She took Little Cutie off her shoulder.

"Eat up, make do with this tonight. When there are no outsiders tomorrow, I'll feed you something better."

She also casually opened a loaf of bread, ate it bit by bit with the spring water.

However, when she had only half left, she lost her appetite.

She still didn't like bread very much.

She decided not to eat it, and went straight to sleep.

The rain outside was heavy, and thunder boomed intermittently.

The chatter inside the house diminished until the room was quiet, with only the occasional crackling of the fire.

Early the next day, Yun Xiaoxiao was woken up by a sharp feminine yell.

"Mu Yang, what is the meaning of this?

It wasn't enough to give away our supplies, now you want to bring that burden back to our base?!

Do you have any idea how dangerous the journey is? We haven't achieved our goal of collecting resources, having her would just slow us down.

What if she cries and makes a fuss on the way, attracting zombies, are you submitting all of us to die for her?!"

Ye Lingwei, her eyes red, was almost screaming.

Mu Yang frowned, "Ye Lingwei, your words are harsh. What do you mean by calling her a burden, that she'd slow us down, that she'd cry and fuss? Maybe others could, but she wouldn't."

A child who could survive alone for two months in the apocalypse could hardly be considered brainless or useless.

He wanted to take the little girl with him, firstly because he genuinely liked her.

She felt like his little sister, inducing a innate desire to protect her.

Another reason being, he felt she was more than she seemed.

In the apocalypse, it's better to gather the capable individuals around, as it increases everyone's chances of survival.

"How do you know she won't, you..."

Before Ye Lingwei could continue, she saw Yun Xiaoxiao passing by her.

Then she... she just passed by, heading resolutely towards the outside of the gallery without any hesitation.

Everyone was taken aback.

In their minds, this child would certainly cling on to them.

How can a child survive in the apocalypse?

Of course, they need to follow the adults.

Yet now, the child paid no attention to them and just... left?

How is this different from what they had anticipated?

Mu Yang quickly pursued her.

Ye Lingwei furrowed her brows.

Li Yan stared at the exit, deep in thought.

"Let's go, the rain has stopped, it's time for us to move on."

Mu Yang caught up with Yun Xiaoxiao, "Hey, little one, why did you leave without saying a word?"

"We aren't together, so why do I need to greet you when I leave?"

"See, others don't appreciate your kindness, yet you rush to retain them." Ye Lingwei sarcastically commented from behind.

Mu Yang ignored her, only focusing on Yun Xiaoxiao.

"Can you really manage on your own?"

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Of course."

Being with them only tied her hands, prohibiting her from doing anything.

After saying this, she did not look back and left directly towards the right side.

Li Yan glanced in the direction where Yun Xiaoxiao left, lifted his head, and quickly followed.

Ye Lingwei quickly blocked his way.

"Brother Yan, let's go to the left."

Li Yan glanced at her, "We came from the left yesterday, there's nothing left there, so why should we go back?

Remember, our aim for this expedition is to find resources.

Just 200 meters ahead, there's a Red Flag Logistics transfer station. If we bring back the supplies from there, it would be enough to feed our base for several years.

Who knows, before we consume all the supplies, the nation might have already developed a vaccine against the virus.

By that time, we will no longer fear the zombies."

Then, Li Yan walked past her and left.

Seeing this, others quickly followed.

Seeing everyone leaving, Ye Lingwei looked unhappy, but she had to follow.

She knew that her opposition alone wouldn't change anything.

Now, resources are more important than anything!

Mu Yang came to her side.

"Ye Lingwei, I wasn’t joking when I said yesterday.

Our marriage arrangement was only made between our parents. I never agreed to it, you know that.

All this time, I have been taking extra care of you just out of respect for your parents.

But I think this has led to some misunderstandings.

Let me be clear, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other.

I don't need you to direct my actions in anything I do.

Remember my words, I won't repeat them."

After finishing, Mu Yang took brisk steps following the small figure ahead.

Ye Lingwei clenched her fists in anger.

She glared at Yun Xiaoxiao's receding figure.

It's all her fault!

If not for her, Mu Yang wouldn't have fallen out with her!

In their team, Brother Yan is the boss in the limelight.

Mu Yang was the backbone of the entire team.

Mu Yang was not only smart, but his constitution was also special. He was the strongest combatant in the team.

Previously, behind his back, she had told others in their team that she was his fiancee.

She usually made a deliberate effort to stay close to Mu Yang, so everyone treated her with deference.

They never shortchanged her when it came to resources.

But now, Mu Yang publicly broke ties with her, insisting on setting boundaries.

How would she get by in the team from now on?!

All this was that damn girl's fault!

She didn't know to what means she had used to win over Mu Yang's favor?!

She heard footsteps behind her and Yun Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed slightly.

She took a glance at the crossroad ahead and began to formulate a plan.
