Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse - Chapter 115
He was certain that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others would never exchange 2,000 jin of rice for Long Zhe and the other three.
These four had no special abilities, and three were children with one woman. What use would they be?
That dead woman Zhang Xiuyan had said those things at the dog farm, publicly disrespecting him. He couldn’t swallow that insult.
The other party’s embarrassment made him happy.
Listening to Yang Fu’s words, Zhang Xiuyan frowned deeply.
“Two thousand jin of rice! Why don’t you just rob us?! We only had some porridge and steamed buns, and later even the porridge was gone, leaving just the buns. Calculated out, each person used at most 40-50 jin of the base’s flour. Even if you want to charge rent, it shouldn’t be 500 jin of rice per person! Aren’t you clearly extorting us?”
“When you’re in our base, you have to follow our rules. How much we charge and collect is up to us. In any case, if you don’t bring out this much today, don’t even think about leaving this base!” Yang Fu said smugly.
“You!” Zhang Xiuyan was so angry she couldn’t speak.
Long Zhe’s small face also darkened.
The preciousness of rice now was self-evident, yet the other party demanded 2,000 jin just to release them.
They were clear about their own abilities and situation.
There was nothing special about them that would make Yun Xiaoxiao and the others spend so many resources to exchange for them.
Long Zhe’s mood sank to the bottom. He clenched his fists and walked towards Yun Xiaoxiao, intending to say they wouldn’t leave.
Rather than being rejected by others, it was better to take the initiative themselves. At least this way, they could maintain some dignity.
Yun Xiaoxiao had helped them enough already.
They couldn’t expect others to keep giving endlessly.
Most importantly, he didn’t want to become Yun Xiaoxiao’s burden or cause them trouble.
He had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard Yun Xiaoxiao speak.
“Tsk tsk… You narrow-minded uncle, your heart is smaller than a needle’s point. Doesn’t it hurt to be so petty?”
Yun Xiaoxiao pinched her fingertips, looking mischievous and clever.
“I’m a person who follows rules too. They indeed ate the base’s food for a while, and I’m willing to redeem them. How about this, I’ll be generous and give you 500 jin of rice for all seven of them. Take it or leave it. If you don’t want it, you won’t get a single grain of rice.”
As she finished speaking, a hint of killing intent flashed in Yun Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
Long Zhe was stunned, his footsteps faltering.
He hadn’t expected Yun Xiaoxiao to truly be willing to use resources to redeem them.
Although she didn’t give the amount the other party wanted, her determination to take them away moved him deeply.
“Five hundred jin of rice? Do you think we’re beggars?!” Yang Fu glared, his face full of anger.
Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged, “If that’s how you want to think of yourself as a beggar, I have no objection.”
“Hmph! Don’t think you’re so great just because you have a little ability. I’m not who I used to be. Today, I’ll show you what it means to say there’s always someone better!”
Yang Fu’s eyes were venomous as he slapped the ground. The soil immediately flew up, rushing towards Yun Xiaoxiao in unison.
Long Zhe and Zhang Xiuyan immediately became worried.
“Be careful!”
“Watch out!”
They both couldn’t help but shout.
Lu Chen and the others remained calm.
This level of attack wasn’t even enough to scratch Yun Xiaoxiao.
Sure enough, before the soil reached Yun Xiaoxiao’s eyes, it was blocked by a dense green barrier made of vines.
With a rustling sound, it all fell to the ground.
Yang Fu stared in shock, his eyes wide.
His attack had been completely blocked!
“Needle-eyed uncle, are you ready? It’s my turn now~”
A devilish childish voice slowly rang out.
The next moment, all the vines rose into the air, flying rapidly towards Yang Fu not far away.
The vines transformed into rods, constantly whipping Yang Fu’s body.
“Ouch, ouch, it hurts, it hurts!”
Yang Fu kept wailing.
His subordinates wanted to help, but without exception, they were all whipped as well.
Instantly, the scene was filled with a chorus of howls.
The sight was quite spectacular.
The people from the slum area stood on tiptoes, craning their necks to look over.
They hadn’t expected a five-year-old child to beat up the guard team!
This was too outrageous!
“Who’s causing trouble in our base?!”
Suddenly, a figure quickly flew over from afar, landing beside Yang Fu.
With a wave of his hand, all of Yun Xiaoxiao’s vines fell to the ground.
Behind him, several military off-road vehicles were driving towards them.
“Commander Jiang, you’ve come at the right time. These people want to forcibly take away people from our base. I just said a few words, and they started attacking us without rhyme or reason. They even said many things slandering our base, completely disregarding us!”
Yang Fu played the victim, getting his accusation in first.
As he finished speaking, the military vehicles behind also arrived, stopping nearby.
“You’re lying! You’re the one who opened your mouth too wide, deliberately targeting us. You attacked first. How dare you turn the tables on us?!”
Long Zhe couldn’t contain himself and angrily retorted.
Jiang Huai’s face was serious. “What exactly happened? Explain clearly.”
Yang Fu’s eyes shifted, and he hurriedly spoke first.
“Commander Jiang, every word I say is true. It’s these people…” He pointed at Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen’s group.
“They wanted to take away people from our base. I just wanted them to compensate a little, which is perfectly reasonable. But not only were they unwilling to compensate, they even brazenly said if we didn’t release the people, they would fight their way out. That’s too arrogant! I only acted because I didn’t want others to look down on our base. But they didn’t give us any face at all and directly attacked, injuring us like this. Commander Jiang, you must uphold justice for us.”
“You’re talking nonsense! How is that just compensating a little? For the four of us, you’re demanding two thousand jin of rice as compensation. How is that reasonable? It’s clearly extortion!”
Long Zhe frowned, filled with righteous indignation.
Yang Fu’s face darkened, his eyes looking as if they wanted to tear Long Zhe apart.
Was this brat trying to get himself killed by opposing him?!
Just as the atmosphere became tense, the door of a military vehicle opened, and an Old Man over sixty, wearing a military uniform, stepped out.
His hair was graying at the temples, his face lined with wrinkles, but his eyes were bright and alert, carrying the unique dignity and bearing of a soldier.
His usually serious face now showed shock.
His gaze was fixed on Long Zhe’s neck.
“Dad, why did you come down?”
Jiang Huai walked over to the Old Man’s side.
The Old Man didn’t answer him but went straight to Long Zhe’s side.
Long Zhe’s eyes flickered, and he stepped back a bit in fear.
He held his head high, full of pride.
“What I just said was all true!”
Yun Xiaoxiao looked over, slightly pursing her lips.
That old man didn’t seem like he was going to cause trouble for Long Zhe, but rather…
“So alike! Too alike!”
The Old Man looked at Long Zhe, his eyes shaking with emotion.
