Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse - Chapter 118
“What the hell, are these zombies out for a spring picnic?!”
Three vehicles came to a stop one after another.
Nie Yizhou stuck his head out of the car window, looking ahead in shock.
“No, there are people over there!”
They all looked in that direction and saw a large truck stopped in the middle of the road.
Zombies were crowded around it on all sides.
The zombies were piled on top of each other, frantically pounding on the vehicle. Some had even climbed onto the roof.
At this rate, the truck’s windows would inevitably be smashed.
Once they broke, the people inside would be doomed.
“What do we do now?” Mu Yang asked.
Yun Xiaoxiao unbuckled her seatbelt, the corner of her lips curling up.
“Clear the way.”
Taking a detour now would add at least three days to their journey.
Besides, it’s not like they couldn’t handle these zombies. There was no need to waste time going around.
Collecting more crystal cores would be good too.
She opened the car door and walked out, carrying Lord Slasher on her shoulder.
A small person with a big sword – an bizarre yet perfect match.
As she walked, she slowly raised her hand.
In the next second, an ice wall shot up from the ground, splitting the zombie horde in two.
Most of the zombies were blocked outside the ice wall.
That is, on the road leading from the highway to the small town.
The small town was on the left side of the highway, connected by an oil road.
The large truck was positioned at the junction where the oil road met the highway.
The ice wall was right behind the truck.
As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao got out of the car, Lu Chen and the others followed.
The five people and one scorpion acted in perfect coordination, immediately launching into battle.
Wherever they went, zombies fell in succession.
Nie Yizhou was in the middle of killing a zombie when suddenly, a black mist floated onto several zombies in front of him.
The mist transformed into sharp blades, directly piercing through the zombies’ heads.
A large number of zombies instantly collapsed.
At that moment, Ling Jing strolled past him.
He gave Nie Yizhou a cool sideways glance.
That look seemed to say, “See that? That’s how you kill zombies.”
Nie Yizhou was immediately fired up and started killing zombies even more ferociously.
This phenomenon quickly spread from person to person, as if they were competing to see who could kill the most zombies the fastest. They all put in their utmost effort, their eyes bloodshot with battle frenzy.
The zombies: Woo woo woo… What did we ever do to deserve this…
Inside the large truck.
Two people were seated inside: a middle-aged man with a crew cut and a girl about eighteen or nineteen with a high ponytail.
The girl nervously gripped a spiked baseball bat, vigilantly watching the cracked window beside her.
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
Her eyes were rimmed with red.
“Dad, are we going to die?” she asked, her voice slightly choked and trembling.
The man tightened his grip on the axe in his hand and let out a small sigh.
“Jiajia, I’m sorry. If I hadn’t insisted on finding your mom, we wouldn’t be trapped here, and we wouldn’t…”
He and his wife had grown up together, confessed their feelings for each other in college, and then naturally got married and had a lovely daughter, who was now eighteen.
During this time, although they had minor disagreements, they had never once had a heated argument. Their relationship was very deep.
When the apocalypse happened, his wife was on a business trip in Xiang City.
When the signal was cut off and he could no longer contact his wife, he became extremely anxious and started planning to go to Xiang City to find her.
On their journey from Rong City, they had encountered many dangers but always managed to escape unscathed.
Until they came to this small town.
Because their car had run out of gas, he planned to get some fuel from the town’s gas station.
But unexpectedly, just as they got the fuel, the zombies in the town went berserk, all swarming towards them at once.
They had no time to retreat before being surrounded by zombies.
Watching the car being besieged by zombies, on the verge of falling, he felt extremely remorseful. He shouldn’t have risked bringing his daughter along.
He should have sent her to a safe place first, then gone alone…
But in this apocalyptic world, where was truly safe?
Even if he had sent her to a large base, leaving his daughter there alone would have worried him.
Seeing her father sink into endless self-blame, Han Jiajia shook her head vigorously.
“Dad, it’s not your fault. I wanted to find Mom too. Even if we die here today, I…”
As Han Jiajia was speaking, she suddenly looked out the window in shock.
“Dad, look! The zombies surrounding us are running away!”
Hearing this, Han Gang turned his head to look.
He saw that many of the zombies that had been piled up around their vehicle just moments ago were now gone.
Many zombies seemed to have spotted some fresh meat elsewhere and were howling as they ran away from the truck.
“Dad, someone’s rescuing us!” Han Jiajia exclaimed excitedly, pointing at Yun Xiaoxiao and the others who were attacking the zombies outside.
Han Gang’s eyes lit up.
Now, they had hope!
“Jiajia, you stay in the car. I’ll go out and help them.”
“No, I’m coming with you.”
“… Alright!”
As Yun Xiaoxiao was in the midst of her killing spree, she caught a glimpse of two figures emerging from the large truck, which now had far fewer zombies around it. One was wielding a baseball bat, the other an axe, both fiercely hacking at the zombies approaching them.
Both of them had some martial arts skills.
It was also evident that this wasn’t their first or second time killing zombies; they were quite proficient.
After just a glance, Yun Xiaoxiao turned her attention back to killing zombies.
About twenty minutes later, all the zombies outside the ice wall had been eliminated.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her team quickly began clearing the battlefield.
Han Gang and his daughter Han Jiajia approached Yun Xiaoxiao’s group and bowed in gratitude.
“Thank you all for coming to our aid just now. Otherwise, my daughter and I would have perished here today.”
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at the two of them and extended her small hand.
Han Gang looked at her, puzzled.
“Little girl, what is it?”
“Uncle, didn’t you say you wanted to thank us? So where’s the thank-you gift?”
Han Gang’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t expected Yun Xiaoxiao to be so direct.
However, he had no intention of shirking his responsibility.
“I have some supplies in my truck. I’ll take you to get them.”
He pointed at his vehicle quite generously.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately followed him.
Lu Chen, worried about a potential trap, followed behind Yun Xiaoxiao.
“By the way, you should leave this small town as soon as possible. The zombies here are strangely peculiar,” Han Gang said as they walked.
Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao’s brows furrowed with curiosity.
“Oh? How are they peculiar?”
“When they were chasing us, unlike zombies in other places that can be misdirected or confused, these seemed to be able to precisely locate our position. Wherever we went, they followed, and most importantly, they could even anticipate and block our path ahead of us.”
As Han Gang was speaking, they had reached the back of the large truck. He directly unlocked and opened the rear doors.
Inside, apart from some scattered food and daily necessities, there was… a person leaning against the truck wall with their eyes tightly closed.
“This is someone we rescued from the small town earlier,” Han Gang explained.
