Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Seeing that Xiao Feng didn't object, Xiao Jun immediately smiled broadly.

"Very well, we'll definitely be there on time tomorrow morning."

Afterwards, he left, pulling Li Dan along.

"Actually, you don't have to do this for me..."

As soon as they left, Xiao Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

"It's not like that. I really do need their help. After all, they're very familiar with this place and the machines. With their assistance, we can work faster."

Xiao Feng glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao but said nothing more. He walked back to his spot alone, his mood visibly low.

Everyone knew it was because he had suddenly encountered his biological father and stepmother, causing his emotions to fluctuate greatly.

Nie Yizhou patted Xiao Feng's shoulder and said earnestly, "If you want to cry, just cry. It's not a crime for men to cry."

"Are you sick? Who wants to cry? Get lost," Xiao Feng rolled his eyes.

"The fact that you can still curse means you're fine. Kid, let's leave him alone. Let him emo and turn into an old man by himself."

Xiao Feng: ...

Thanks to Nie Yizhou's banter, Xiao Feng's mood improved considerably.

He reverted to his previous hot-tempered, easily provoked self.

He and Nie Yizhou went back and forth, engaging in several rounds of verbal sparring before finally lying down on the mats Yun Xiaoxiao had provided.

Looking at the soundly sleeping Xiao Feng, Nie Yizhou pressed his lips together before closing his eyes as well.

That night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, the four of them packed up and had just opened the door when they encountered Xiao Jun and Li Dan.

"Which floor is the radio equipment on in this building?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked directly.

Xiao Jun quickly replied, "It's on the floor below us. There's a control room there with all the large equipment."

"Good, come with us then."

Hearing this, Xiao Jun's face lit up with joy.

He wanted to strike up a conversation with Xiao Feng, but the latter simply turned his back on him, completely ignoring him.

Xiao Jun felt somewhat dejected.

He and Li Dan were about to step forward when they noticed the group in front of them suddenly stop.

The little girl at the front turned to look at them, making him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"What... what's wrong?" he asked.

Yun Xiaoxiao pointed at him, "I said only you should come."

"What do you mean by that?!" Li Dan, catching the implication in Yun Xiaoxiao's words, immediately became angry.

"Isn't my meaning clear enough? I mean, you shouldn't follow us," Yun Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly.

Li Dan: !!

"Why not?! This isn't your home, I can go wherever I want! Besides, what's wrong with following my husband?!"

"Hmm, true, but auntie, don't you know you have a strong body odor?" Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.

"My knife is allergic to this smell. When it smells it, it can't help but want to kill.

If you follow us and my knife gets a whiff of you, don't blame me if it chases after you to chop you up."

Li Dan: !!

Absurd!

Nonsense!

How could a knife smell anything?!

"It must be you! You're the one who doesn't like me and wants to push me away, right?!" Li Dan angrily pointed at Xiao Feng.

"Boom!"

A clump of dirt fell from above, aiming for Li Dan.

"Ah!!!" Li Dan screamed repeatedly.

"If you don't leave now, it won't just be dirt falling on you!" Nie Yizhou's voice turned cold, which was rare for him.

"Lunatics! You're all lunatics!"

Terror filled Li Dan's eyes as she hastily retreated.

Halfway through her retreat, she fixed her gaze on Xiao Jun's face and shouted angrily, "Xiao Jun, aren't you going to do anything? Are you really going to leave me here alone?!"

A flash passed through Xiao Jun's eyes. He looked at Xiao Feng, then at Li Dan.

In that instant, he seemed to age several years.

"I'll come back after I show them the way."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng clenched his fist tightly.

He snorted coldly and strode forward with large steps.

Yun Xiaoxiao and the others knew that although he appeared to reject his father on the surface, he still seemed to yearn for this familial bond deep down.

The group made their way downstairs.

There were several zombies on this floor, all of which were obliterated by fireballs from the enraged Xiao Feng, one in each hand.

Xiao Jun, walking at the back, saw how powerful Xiao Feng was and a flash of pride crossed his eyes.

Under his guidance, the group arrived at the door of a room.

There was a sign on the wall next to the door that read 'Control Room' in large characters.

"The machines you're looking for are inside," Xiao Jun pointed at the door.

"This door has a password. Let me handle it."

The door's password lock was battery-powered, so it was still working despite the power outage.

Xiao Jun entered the password, and the door opened automatically.

He walked to each machine, explaining how to use them one by one.

This actually surprised Yun Xiaoxiao a bit.

Because he didn't use this opportunity to ask them to take him with them, but instead just explained everything directly.

"Let's go outside first."

After Xiao Jun finished explaining and Yun Xiaoxiao had learned everything, Xiao Feng asked Xiao Jun to leave.

He knew that Yun Xiaoxiao was about to start putting things into her space, which wasn't something his father should see.

Father and son walked out one after the other.

After the door closed, the two stood side by side against the wall.

Both remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.

As they awkwardly faced the air, a scream suddenly came from one end of the corridor.

Both of their expressions changed, recognizing the voice as Li Dan's.

Xiao Jun was the first to run towards the sound.

Xiao Feng frowned, standing still at first.

It wasn't until Xiao Jun had almost disappeared from sight that he followed.

"Ugh!"

"Ahhhhh!"

The voices of Xiao Jun and Li Dan rang out in quick succession, barely a second apart.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng's heart skipped a beat.

His originally quick pace turned into a run, getting faster and faster.

When he reached the staircase corner, he saw his father being viciously bitten by a male zombie still wearing a TV station ID card.

Li Dan was curled up in the corner, shaking with fear and screaming continuously.

Xiao Feng's pupils trembled violently. He quickly drew his knife and stabbed it fiercely into the zombie's head.

The zombie's biting motion suddenly stopped, and it fell to the ground along with Xiao Jun.

But barely two seconds after Xiao Jun fell, his whole body began to convulse.

Seeing this, a flash of reluctance crossed Xiao Feng's brow.

Yes, he did hate his father.

If it weren't for his affair, his mother wouldn't have developed depression and jumped to her death.

He wouldn't have grown up without a mother.

And he wouldn't have gained a disgusting stepmother.

But seeing him like this now, he couldn't help but feel conflicted.

He had even thought that if his father could break things off with that woman, he would take him back to the base.

But now...

"He... he's turning into a zombie!" Li Dan stared with terrified eyes and shrieked.

Xiao Feng, already in a foul mood, nearly exploded upon hearing her voice.

"What... what are you doing?!"

Seeing Xiao Feng approaching her step by step, Li Dan tried to back away, only to find herself cornered with nowhere to retreat.
