Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

However, he never expected that no matter how much he cared for his adopted daughter, she would never appreciate his efforts.

Because, deep down, she had long been hoping for a confrontation between him and Yun Xiaoxiao.

How could she possibly let go of such a golden opportunity?

Ever since Bai Ruo had her arm crippled, she had been venting her frustrations in her room every day, consumed by hysteria.

Bai Hongting tried countless methods, even procuring a prosthetic arm and consulting doctors to help her.

But Bai Ruo despised the lack of flexibility in the prosthetic and threw another tantrum.

To make Bai Hongting and Sheng Shuya pay more attention to her, she dismissed her caretakers and sneaked out of the base.

Of course, she wouldn’t just disappear without a trace.

Before leaving, she deliberately left behind some clues so that Bai Hongting and the others could find her.

However, this trip outside led her to an unexpected encounter.

This encounter not only restored her arm but also elevated the strength of Bai Hongting and the others.

Now, she felt it was the perfect time to kill Yun Xiaoxiao.

If she missed this chance, given Bai Hongting’s upright nature, he would never seek revenge for her.

She had to push him into action!

Not long after Bai Hongting finished speaking, a cold and calculating glint flashed in Bai Ruo’s eyes.

Without a word, she charged straight at Yun Xiaoxiao.

Yun Xiaoxiao had long wanted to kill her, and seeing her recklessly charging forward, she didn’t hesitate to shoot an ice spike.

She might not have been able to break through Bai Hongting’s defense shield before, but that didn’t mean she feared them!

The ice spike shot out with incredible speed and force, aimed directly at Bai Ruo’s heart.

If it struck, it would kill her instantly.

As the ice spike was about to pierce her chest, Bai Ruo’s breath hitched.

But upon seeing Bai Hongting’s anxious expression and the defense shield quickly forming in front of her, she subtly pursed her lips.

Then, she deliberately fell to the ground, screaming in fear.

“Dad, she’s trying to kill me! I was just trying to make peace with her, but you saw it! She didn’t give me a chance and went straight for the kill!”

Her acting was crude, and most people could see through it.

Bai Hongting, of course, knew as well.

He sighed inwardly.

This daughter of his was truly not well-raised.

As the saying goes, a child’s misbehavior is the parent’s fault.

It was up to him to settle this matter.

However, he was also surprised by Yun Xiaoxiao’s progress. Her strength had improved significantly compared to a few months ago!

If he hadn’t experienced that accident a month ago, perhaps his defense shield would have been broken by her!

Yun Xiaoxiao frowned slightly as her attack missed.

Her opponent’s strength had also improved greatly!

The atmosphere grew tense.

As Bai Hongting blocked Yun Xiaoxiao’s attack, Lu Chen and the others also moved.

They quickly stood by Yun Xiaoxiao’s side.

Seeing this, Bai Hongting’s subordinates also closed in.

The two sides formed a standoff, ready to fight to the death.

“Everyone, we’re all friends here. Can’t we settle this peacefully and talk things out?”

Li Feng, the middle-aged man behind Mo Chun, stepped forward to mediate.

“These are friends from Yun City. Thanks to their timely help, our central base was able to survive the recent zombie siege.”

He introduced Yun Xiaoxiao and her group.

Then he introduced Bai Hongting and his team.

“They’re friends from the northern base, who came all this way to help us.

This is Bai Hongting, my comrade from my military days.

We’re all good-hearted people. Why not talk things out instead of fighting and ruining the harmony?”

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, Yun Xiaoxiao let out a cold laugh.

“Uncle, do you have the wrong idea about what ‘good-hearted’ means?

We from Yun City are never the kind-hearted type.

We act purely on our whims.

So, you’d better step aside and stop playing mediator, or you might get hurt later.”

Li Feng: “...”

He hadn’t expected Yun Xiaoxiao to be so blunt.

Bai Hongting, on the other hand, looked at her with even more admiration.

This girl’s temperament really suited his taste.

But still...

“Xiaoxiao, I know you haven’t let go of what happened before, but Bai Ruo is my daughter. I can’t just stand by and let you kill her.”

“Then what’s the point of wasting words?”

Yun Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and immediately raised her hand.

“Wait!” Bai Hongting quickly called for a pause.

Yun Xiaoxiao shot him a sidelong glance. “What? Speak up if you have something to say, and hurry up! Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone take a breather during a fight.”

Her tone and expression were filled with impatience.

Bai Hongting was momentarily speechless, both amused and exasperated.

He ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‍composed himself and said, “I know you have no reason to lie. Bai Ruo must have offended you first, but you’ve already crippled her arm and left her severely injured.

If you’re still angry, how about this?

Our northern base will offer crystals and supplies to resolve this conflict. You can name the amount.”

Bai Hongting expressed his utmost sincerity.

His tone wasn’t submissive but rather one of negotiation.

He had no intention of antagonizing Yun Xiaoxiao.

Firstly, he genuinely admired her and found her personality appealing.

He also felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her.

Secondly, a fight today would involve two bases.

Both he and Yun Xiaoxiao were leaders of their respective bases.

If this turned into a life-and-death battle, at least one base would be left leaderless.

In the worst-case scenario, both bases could fall into chaos.

This wasn’t just about him and Yun Xiaoxiao anymore.

It would affect the lives and livelihoods of many people.

As a soldier, Bai Hongting was a man of great integrity.

No matter the circumstances, he never forgot his sense of responsibility.

Even in this apocalyptic world, he deeply loved his country and wanted to protect more of its people.

He knew that in times like these, unity among the people was crucial.

After all, the world didn’t consist solely of their nation.

If resources became scarce or other factors came into play, neighboring countries might set their sights on them.@@novelbin@@

Yun Xiaoxiao and her group were incredibly strong.

If they were to fight to mutual destruction over his daughter, it would be a terrible loss.

So, he decided to resolve the matter peacefully.

Once things settled down, he would stay at the base and properly educate Bai Ruo.

Hearing Bai Hongting’s words, Bai Ruo dug her nails into her palms.

She glared resentfully at his back.

How infuriating! Why wouldn’t Dad just kill that wretched girl!
