Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Chapter 44



"Holy crap, a zombie!"

Just as Nie Yizhou was about to say something, he saw a snarling zombie dart out from a nearby alley.

He cried out in shock.

In the next second, he vanished.

Slipping away faster than a greased eel!

Yun Xiaoxiao: ......

Where did he go?

She frowned slightly, dispatching the charging zombie with a single shot.

"Hey kid, where'd you learn those moves? Pretty impressive. Care to teach me?"

Suddenly, Nie Yizhou's voice rang out from behind her.

Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed as she whirled around.

There stood Nie Yizhou at a street corner not far away, grinning at her.

A flicker of surprise crossed Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes.

This guy had somehow silently teleported over there!

Could it be... the legendary mutant ability of spatial manipulation - teleportation?!

In her past life, she'd only heard of one person possessing such an ability.

That person had been a massive headache for all the leaders of survivor bases.

Yun Xiaoxiao secretly sized him up.

He wasn't particularly tall, probably around 5'9".

Young, likely 18 or 19 years old.

Slender build, with a long, narrow face, prominent ears, and defined features. His eyes seemed to smile naturally, and his skin was slightly tanned.

Overall, he had a handsome look with a hint of humor.

"Hey kid, what are you staring at? Mesmerized by my dashing good looks?

Ah, I know, sometimes being this handsome is a curse.

Actually, it's quite troublesome.

Hey, where are you going? I wasn't finished talking!"

Nie Yizhou hurried to catch up.

Yun Xiaoxiao stopped abruptly, nearly causing Nie Yizhou to crash into her.

"You could've warned me before stopping. We almost had an accident there."

Nie Yizhou pouted.

Yun Xiaoxiao's eyebrow twitched.

Unable to contain herself any longer, she said, "Have you ever heard this saying?"

Nie Yizhou cocked his head, intrigued.

"What saying?"

"People die from talking too much and perish from loose lips."

With that parting shot, Yun Xiaoxiao turned and walked away without hesitation.

Leaving Nie Yizhou alone and bewildered.

This kid's only five or six years old, how does she know so much?

Even he didn't know that saying!

Yun Xiaoxiao went over to Little Cutie.

Little Cutie had already cleared out most of the zombies in the area and was now cleaning up the battlefield.

As Yun Xiaoxiao approached, Little Cutie proudly pointed at a pile of crystal cores on the ground with one of its tentacles.

As if to say, "Look how amazing I am!"

Yun Xiaoxiao gave it a thumbs up.

"Well done!"

"Are these things taken from the zombies' heads? What are you collecting them for?"

"You're still here?"

Yun Xiaoxiao looked up, giving Nie Yizhou, who had sidled over, a sidelong glance.

Her expression couldn't have been more disdainful if she tried.

"Hey, why are you so unwelcoming, kid? We've met by chance, and I even saved your life. You're being too cold, trying to chase me away as soon as we meet." Nie Yizhou grimaced.

Yun Xiaoxiao's forehead throbbed. This guy was like a stubborn sticker - once he latched on, you couldn't shake him off.

"I think you're an interesting kid. Let's get to know each other. I'm Nie Yizhou. What's your name?"

Nie Yizhou?

Yun Xiaoxiao's brow furrowed slightly, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Wasn't that the name of the 'gentleman thief' who was blacklisted as the most dangerous by all major survivor bases in her past life?

And that gentleman thief was the only one who could teleport!

So it really was him!

Rumor had it that this Nie Yizhou could come and go without a trace, specializing in sneaking into the granaries and warehouses of various survivor bases to steal supplies.

After each theft, he would deliberately leave behind a piece of paper.

On the paper would be a drawing of a small boat.

Sometimes, he would even write long, passionate critiques, exposing the scandals and corruption of the base leaders or other high-ranking officials, his words dripping with righteous indignation.

Most of the people in power at the bases gnashed their teeth in hatred of him.

But they were powerless to do anything about it.

Because no one had ever seen what he looked like!

In contrast to the authorities, ordinary survivors praised him highly.

Though he was a thief, he was a righteous one with a sense of justice.

He would secretly distribute the supplies he stole to truly needy survivors.

Many who were on the brink of starvation continued to survive because of him.

Knowing that he was the gentleman thief Nie Yizhou from her past life, Yun Xiaoxiao's view of him improved slightly.

But only slightly.

For someone who specialized in stealing supplies and robbing the rich to help the poor, no matter how nice he might be, she didn't want to keep him around.

When it came to having a lot of supplies, who could have more than her?

She wasn't crazy enough to keep someone who constantly coveted supplies by her side!

She glanced at a red garbage bin on the roadside and casually replied, "Ji Hongtong."

"Ji Hongtong? That name... uh... sounds pretty good if you say it a few times."

Nie Yizhou gave an awkward laugh, his smile a bit forced.

"So, kid, where are we headed now?"

"What do you mean 'we'? You're you, and I'm me. You go your way, I'll go mine. Let's not get in each other's way, okay?"

Yun Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, called out to Little Cutie, and started walking towards a small alley.

Little Cutie instantly shrank and scurried onto her shoulder.

Seeing this, Nie Yizhou's jaw dropped in surprise.

That scorpion must be some kind of spirit!

He scratched his head. He had finally met an interesting little companion, but she didn't want anything to do with him.

Oh well, he was destined for a life of solitude!

Nie Yizhou put his hands behind his head, humming a tune, and turned around leisurely.

Realizing it wasn't appropriate to be so conspicuous, he closed his mouth.

But as he turned back, he found a large wolf dog staring at him menacingly.

To be precise, it wasn't a normal wolf dog anymore.

It was a Zombie Dog!

Its fur was patchy, with a large chunk of flesh torn from its back, already scabbed over.

Its eyes glowed red, its muzzle smeared with blood and bits of flesh. When it opened its mouth, rows of sharp fangs were visible, with drops of dark red liquid dripping from the corners.

It exuded an aura of wild ferocity. After letting out a growl at Nie Yizhou, it charged at him fiercely.

Nie Yizhou: !!

He was terrified of dogs!

He frantically tried to teleport away.

But...

It didn't work!

What a useless ability at a time like this!

He let out a miserable wail, turned his back, and sprinted towards the small alley.

As he ran, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Ahhh! Kid, help me! There's a dog chasing me!"
