Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Chapter 166

Rongsheng Base.

A filthy man was kicked to the ground.

Several men immediately surrounded him and started beating him mercilessly.

He covered his head with his hands, wailing continuously.

A large crowd of onlookers gathered around.

"Oh my goodness, they're going to kill him! Won't someone do something?"

A woman collapsed on the ground, crying with snot and tears streaming down her face.

"Keep yelling, and we'll beat you too! Want to try?"

"What are you doing? Stop it right now!"

One of Jiang Huai's subordinates was returning from outside the base when he noticed the fight breaking out in the refugee camp.

He hurried over to intervene.

The assailants immediately stopped, and the beaten man painfully raised his head.

"It's you?"

Jiang Huai's subordinate looked with surprise at the bruised and swollen face of Zhong Huainong.

He remembered this man.

He was present when Yun Xiaoxiao had requested people.

He knew this man was the brother of one of the people Yun Xiaoxiao had asked for.

He had also gone to Yun City this time and had seen this man's brother.

At the time, he was quite surprised to see the other man wearing a white coat and looking very energetic.

"You know me?"

Zhong Huainong felt a bit flattered.

The man was the captain of the guard, and he actually recognized him. How could this not make him feel delighted?

"Don't you have a brother who went to Yun City Base?"

"Yun City? Brother?"

Zhong Huainong muttered these words, not quite understanding what the other meant.

"My brother did leave earlier, with some young people, but I don't know where he went. Have you... seen him?"

The guard captain nodded.

"That's right. This time we went with Commander Jiang to Yun City Base, which is where your brother went.

Don't worry, he's doing very well now.

It seems he's even working in his original profession, and his food and lodging are excellent."

The guard captain, thinking Zhong Huainong was worried about his brother, briefly described Zhong Mingsheng's current situation.

After hearing his words, Zhong Huainong's eyes widened.

"Is everything you said true?!"

His brother was really working in his original profession?

That little girl hadn't lied?

"What do you mean by good food and lodging?"

At this moment, Zhong Huainong's wife Wu Changlan wiped her tears and quickly came over.

The guard captain smiled and said, "What else could it mean? It means they have white rice, fresh vegetables, and various meats for every meal, and they live in clean and tidy hospital staff dormitories."

To be honest, when he saw it, he was extremely envious.

Even as a guard captain, he didn't dare to say he could eat meat with every meal.

"Actually, you really should have gone with them back then.

Everyone in their base eats and lives extremely well."

If he was envious, how much more so would Zhong Huainong and his wife feel, who had been living worse than pigs and dogs?

Even as the guard captain led away the assailants, the couple had not yet recovered from their shock.

"Husband, did you hear that? The captain said that big brother and his wife now have white rice and meat for every meal, and they have very good houses to live in!"

Wu Changlan patted the dazed Zhong Huainong, her eyes filled with hope.

"Do you think if we went there too, we could eat and live as well as big brother and his wife?"

"Of course we could. Didn't you hear the captain say that everyone in that base receives equal treatment? With big brother and his wife to introduce us, we'd definitely live better than ordinary people!"

Zhong Huainong's eyes also filled with light.

He was really fed up with their current life.

They never had enough to eat every day, and the food distributed by the base barely kept them alive.

Moreover, the base had issued an announcement that starting tomorrow, they would have to fend for themselves.

People could form teams voluntarily to go outside and kill zombies, bringing back crystal cores to exchange for food.

They could also go out to scavenge for food, either for their own use or to trade for other living supplies.

Those who were unwilling to do either of these could go outside the base to dig up wasteland for farming.

He couldn't and didn't want to do any of these things!

If only...

If only they could go to that Yun City Base.

Then they would have rice and meat to eat at every meal, and good houses to live in. Life would be so comfortable.

At this moment, he deeply regretted his decision.

If only they had left with his older brother and the others back then.

But it was too late to say anything now.

There's no medicine for regret in this world, and time cannot flow backwards.

"Sigh, but the journey from here to Yun City Base is long and treacherous, with possible zombie encounters along the way. Even if we wanted to go, we couldn't make it with just the two of us."

Zhong Huainong furrowed his brow, feeling troubled.

"Excuse me, I have an idea."

Just then, a voice sounded from behind the couple.

They turned to look and saw a young man.

They looked at him quizzically.

"What idea do you have?"

The man raised his head, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"It's dangerous to go with few people, but if a large group travels together, wouldn't the risk automatically decrease?"

If Yun Xiaoxiao were here, she would be very surprised.

Because this man was none other than her 'good father' Yun Shaokai!

This Yun Shaokai had also had a stroke of dumb luck.

After being sent to the hospital back then, he woke up shortly after.

He hated the smell of disinfectant the most, so he immediately left the hospital.

He took his girlfriend back to their residence in the city, had a few rounds of passionate lovemaking, and then fell asleep.

But in the middle of the night, he felt thirsty and got up to drink water when he heard a loud boom from the sky.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it and was still scrolling on his phone in the living room.

But when he returned to the bedroom, he found his girlfriend standing up from the bed in a bizarre posture, making a terrifying teeth-grinding sound.

He was immediately displeased, not knowing what kind of prank his girlfriend was pulling in the middle of the night.

So he turned on the lights.

As soon as the lights came on, his girlfriend lunged at him from the bed.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged.

His girlfriend fell to the floor with a thud.

He even heard the sound of bones breaking.

He was just thinking about whether he should go over and help her up.

But the next second, his girlfriend stood up from the ground as if nothing had happened, wobbling.

As soon as she stood steady, she suddenly turned her head.

Only then did he clearly see her appearance.

It scared him half to death!

The ghostly appearance of his girlfriend still makes his heart tremble when he thinks about it now.

It was just too shocking.

With great effort, he managed to push away his crazed girlfriend, quickly ran out of the room, and shut the door.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, grabbed his car keys and ran out.

But when he got outside, he realized that many people on the streets had suddenly lost their minds and started attacking others.

He knew that something terrible must have happened.

He didn't dare to stay in the city any longer, so he left the city that night and went to a guesthouse in the suburbs.

Later, when the zombie virus fully broke out, he came to Rongsheng Base with the survivors from that guesthouse.

The previous time when Yun Xiaoxiao and her group came, he happened to be in line for food distribution, so he missed them.
