Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Chapter 38

Who could have guessed? Both sides of the intersection were packed with zombies!

It was as bustling as a Lunar New Year lantern fair.

One after another, crowding up to the brim.

Yun Xiaoxiao was barely stepping out when she saw this situation. She quickly and quietly withdrew her foot.

When she was on the highway before, she could fearlessly march on because it was a one-way street.

All she had to do was to handle the zombies in front one by one, without any worries from behind.

Moreover, there were many cars on the road, which scattered the zombies, and their number was not particularly substantial.

But it was no joke to be in a place where zombies were crowded in all directions.

Without the ability to escape, she would definitely be besieged by a horde of zombies, then exhausted to death.

She was not so arrogant as to handle such a situation herself.

Li Yan and Mu Yang, who were following her, became more alert when they saw her suddenly stop moving.

Quietly peering out, they quickly withdrew their gazes.

A sense of severity crossed their faces.

They were about to gesture for the people behind them to hurry up when Ye Lingwei suddenly spoke up.

"Why aren't we moving?"

Her voice wasn't loud or soft, but at this moment, it was like the harbinger of doom.

"Idiot!"

Yun Xiaoxiao was beyond words.

She had never seen such a fool.

Ye Lingwei was irate, her eyes shooting daggers at Yun Xiaoxiao.

"You called me what?!"

Just as she was about to go forward to chastise Yun Xiaoxiao, she looked up to see a zombie sprinting out from the left side of the intersection.

Behind that single zombie was an incalculable wave of zombies rushing forward.

"Zom...zombies! So many zombies!"

Someone let out a shocked cry.

"What are you waiting for, run!"

Mu Yang commanded with a scowl.

Everyone came to their senses and started to flee.

It was then that they noticed that the little figure was faster than all of them!

She had started running before they even moved.

"Not good, zombies came from the front too!"

Everyone intended to head back to the gallery, but the way was blocked by zombies.

Everyone was nervous, feeling they were doomed.

"Crash!"

At that moment, a sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out.

Looking over, they found that Yun Xiaoxiao had kicked and shattered the glass door of a hotel.

Everyone was stunned!

A five-year-old kid kicked open that thick glass door!

Was that even possible?

How did she do it with those tiny arms and legs?!

"Hurry, follow!"

Seeing the broken glass door, Li Yan's eyes flickered and he ran in first.

The others, nowhere else to go, immediately followed.

Mu Yang pursed his lips.

Indeed, he didn't misjudge. This little one was not ordinary!

“Ah!”

Just as they rushed in, a scream sounded from behind them.

"Damn it, Ah He didn't keep up!"

"Hurry, the zombies are coming!"

"Take the stairs!"

"Quick, close the door!"

The crowd hurriedly closed the door of the staircase and ran upstairs.

Every level had a door, but all the doors were locked.

Furthermore, they could hear the sound of zombies banging against the door.

Clearly, the zombies behind the door must be the original inhabitants of the hotel.

Only when they could hear their footsteps did they start to panic and pound against the doors.

A group of people dared not stop.

They ran directly to the top floor in one breath.

Still, there was another closed door here.

Thankfully, there was no sound of zombies banging against the door from the outside.

"What do we do, there's no way out?"

One person asked, gasping for breath.

Everyone, while looking at the tightly shut door, also glanced at the stairs behind them, fearing that the doors downstairs couldn't withstand the onslaught of the zombies.

If those zombies broke down the doors and chased them up the stairs, wouldn't they be trapped, surely doomed?

"Ye Lingwei, you were making noise just now, and look, we're trapped now. You've also killed Ah He!"

A tall man glanced at Ye Lingwei discontentedly.

Ye Lingwei clenched her fists. "I didn't do it on purpose, who knew there'd be so many zombies there!

Besides, weren't those who were leading the group supposed to give a heads up?

If you'd alerted us, would I have had to call out to you?

This isn't just my fault!

As for Ah He, it was he who didn't run fast enough, why blame it on me?!"

Ye Lingwei was angry and felt wronged.

Just after she ended their association with Mu Yang, these people began to bully her!

Seeing her so unreasonable, everyone was quite upset.

For a moment, the narrow hallway's atmosphere became eerie.

Yun Xiaoxiao glanced lightly at these people.

She pulled a piece of wire from her bag, or rather, her space, and began to fiddle with the keyhole.

Mu Yang looked at her in surprise.

Could it be, this little girl can pick locks?

Sure enough, in no time, the tightly locked door made a soft "click" sound.

Immediately after, Yun Xiaoxiao pushed the door open.

Bright light streamed in from outside.

Everyone was elated.

"The door is open!"

"Kid, you're amazing!"

"Who taught you these skills? Impressive!"

"In comparison, I'm neither the wise old, nor the capable young, alive I'm a nuisance, dead I'd pollute the air. Don't dissuade me, let me lament for a while."

Though Ye Lingwei also marveled at Yun Xiaoxiao's ability to pick locks.

But upon hearing everyone's praise for Yun Xiaoxiao, she felt a pang of jealousy.

Just a moment ago, she had called the other a burden.

But in an instant, not only did the other kick open the hotel door, uncovering a way to survive, but also smoothly picked the lock, giving them another chance at life.

Isn't this a slap in her face?!

Thinking back to when her companions chastised her just now, making her seems like the real burden, she felt even more twisted inside.

She was being overshadowed by a child!

It was downright humiliating!

Once the door was open, everyone hurried onto the rooftop.

However, just then, Ye Lingwei's voice suddenly sounded.

"What happened to your hand? Let's have a look!"

At the sound, everyone turned to look at her.

Just to see that Ye Lingwei was staring skeptically at another woman's hand.

The woman quickly hid her hand behind her back.

"I... I'm fine."

The woman's voice trembled slightly.

Watching her reaction, Ye Lingwei became even more certain of her suspicions, thinking that the other party was showing signs of guilt.

She decided to seize this opportunity to change everyone's prejudice against her, making them believe that she could also be useful.

Her brows arched in a provoking manner, she argued vehemently.

"Why are you hiding your hand behind your back if there's nothing wrong? I clearly saw a wound on it earlier!

I suspect that it's a scratch from a zombie. For the safety of all of us, you must leave!”

Ye Lingwei pointed in the direction of the door, her demeanor commanding.

The woman panicked, "No, I wasn't bitten by a zombie. I was scratched when I bumped against a corner in my haste while escaping earlier.

I didn’t mention it because I was afraid that you'd suspect me.

But I truly wasn't bitten by a zombie. You can’t just make me leave."

"There's no proof in just your words. Just because you say you weren't scratched, does it mean you weren't?

What if you turn into a zombie later, we would be the ones suffering.

So, go in there for now. If you don't turn into a zombie, we'll let you back in."

"But... there are so many zombies downstairs. They will come up and eat me."

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes. She was close to breaking down.
