Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Chapter 31

As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances.

They never expected Yun Xiaoxiao to use their own words against them.

One of them, a bespectacled man in his thirties, looked at Yun Xiaoxiao with dissatisfaction.

"Little sister, how can you say that? Sending us out there is like sending us to our deaths, isn't it?"

"So, you want to send me alone to die?" Yun Xiaoxiao let out a mocking chuckle.

"What are you talking about? Who said anything about sending you alone to die? Aren't you the strongest fighter among us? We're just ordinary people. Those zombies are so vicious; if we get bitten or scratched, we're done for!"

The man was exasperated. Talking to kids was such a hassle!

"Oh, so I'm supposed to be Wonder Woman, immune to bites and scratches?" Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow with a cold smirk.

What kind of ridiculous logic was this?

They were afraid to die, so they wanted to send her out.

What next? If the Earth was about to be destroyed, would they ask her to self-destruct first to give them a fireworks show?

Did being weak give them the right to be unreasonable?

Besides, these were just low-level zombies. Any adult with a bit of courage could easily handle one zombie.

If they were willing to go out and fight zombies with her, she wouldn't say another word.

But these people just wanted to stand by and let her do all the work. Well, tough luck.

She wasn't going to be their fall guy.

"So many adults bullying a child. Aren't you ashamed? I'm embarrassed for you!"

The middle-aged woman who had been tending to Long Zhe and the others' wounds came out of the room.

She had heard the voices of this group earlier, and she felt nothing but shame.

"You bunch of grown men, too scared to go out and kill zombies yourselves, yet you want to send a five-year-old girl out alone to face danger? Does she have three heads and six arms, or nine lives, to be able to handle so many zombies by herself?"

"If you don't even have the courage to face one zombie, what's the point of living? Might as well die now and be done with it."

"I refuse to believe that all of us together can't handle a dozen or so zombies. Open the door, I'll go first. If we live, great. If we die, it's over, and we won't have to face this damn apocalypse anymore!"

The woman cursed, gripping a rusty axe tightly in her hands.

Seeing the woman speak up for her, Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes crinkled with amusement.

This auntie was quite interesting.

The others were stunned by the woman's words.

But what she said was true, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"I'll go too! Sister Zhang is right. No matter how capable a child is, she's still a child. It's not right to let her go out alone to kill zombies while we adults hide inside like cowards!"

"That's right, I don't want to be a coward either!"

"Even though I'm a woman, the apocalypse won't treat us any better just because we're female. It's better to rely on ourselves than on others. Like Sister Zhang said, if we don't have the ability to protect ourselves, we might as well die early! Let's go kill some zombies!"

...

Under Zhang Xiuyan's leadership, everyone's fighting spirit was suddenly ignited.

Only the bespectacled man, who had lost face in front of everyone, was red-faced with shame, wanting to speak but holding back.

He looked at Zhang Xiuyan with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

As for Zhao Rongyan and Jiang Rui'an, they stood at the back, unmoved, like high and mighty rulers.

It was as if Zhang Xiuyan and the others going out to kill zombies were their subordinates, naturally expected to do their utmost to protect their safety.

Yun Xiaoxiao observed everyone's expressions.

She stood up from the wooden stool and slowly walked to the front door.

As soon as she took her position, the injured Long Zhe ran past her side, wielding a wooden stick, charging towards one of the zombies.

This kid had guts!

Still so determined despite being injured.

Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes showed a hint of admiration.

Just then, a girl stumbled and fell. Another girl quickly used a mop to hold back the zombie that was lunging towards them.

Black, sticky blood was dripping from the zombie's mouth, its hands clawing wildly at the girl.

The girl was too weak, and it looked like she was about to be grabbed. She closed her eyes tightly and let out a terrified scream.

But the expected pain didn't come, and the weight on her hands suddenly lightened.

She opened her eyes in surprise to see a knife stuck right in the center of the zombie's head.

A small figure stood there, face calm, one foot on the zombie's head, smoothly pulling the knife out of its skull.

The girl's eyes lit up instantly.

There was gratitude and fervor in her gaze.

She quickly helped her companion up, and together they charged towards another zombie.

This time, they were braver, as if their whole bodies were filled with energy.

Zhang Xiuyan was of average build, slightly overweight.

She wielded her large axe, hacking at the zombies' heads like a madwoman.

Zombie brain matter splattered all over her.

But she didn't care. After killing one, she rushed towards another, more valiant than many of the men.

Although Long Zhe's hand was injured, he managed to successfully kill a zombie with his other hand.

This impressed Yun Xiaoxiao.

This young man would surely have a bright future, given time.

Although she hadn't planned to help initially, Zhang Xiuyan's words had touched her. Moreover, apart from a few unreasonable individuals, the rest of the group wasn't beyond hope.

So she stood by, watching, and whenever someone was in real danger, she would step in and lend a hand.

In the end, the same number of people who went out came back unscathed.

All the zombies were dead.

"I really managed to kill a zombie! My God, an hour ago, I wouldn't have even dared to imagine this!"

"That's right, the first step is always the hardest. But we did it, we all overcame ourselves!"

"My hands are still shaking!"

"Haha... look at you, such a novice."

Having won their first battle splendidly, everyone was extremely excited.

After the cheering, two girls approached Yun Xiaoxiao.

"Little sister, thank you for saving us earlier."

Then, a few others came over.

"Yes, yes, if you hadn't been watching our backs, I'm sure I would have been bitten by a zombie long ago."

"I want to apologize. I shouldn't have thought about sending you out alone before. The zombies are so fierce. It took so much effort from all of us to kill them. Even if you're incredibly skilled, one person can't fight against so many opponents at once.

Also, rather than having you kill zombies alone, it's better for us to do it ourselves. I think this was a great training opportunity.

I believe that after this experience, we won't be cowards the next time we encounter zombies. We'll be able to handle them on our own. Don't you all agree?"

"Yes!"

"That's right, I hadn't even had enough of killing zombies!"

"Want a few more to kill then?"

"On second thought, I'll pass. Let me catch my breath and practice my skills a bit more first."

"Hahaha..."
