Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

Yun Shaokai had already prepared to use Yun Xiaoxiao as bait to lure the zombies away. But just as they were about to leave, a piercing scream erupted from another villa nearby.

The sound instantly drew all the surrounding zombies toward its source.

The path ahead was suddenly clear—an unexpected turn of events even Yun Shaokai hadn’t anticipated.

Not daring to waste a second, he quickly pulled Tong Jiajia and Yun Xiaoxiao toward the garage.

He hadn’t truly intended to bring Yun Xiaoxiao along.

But in case they needed bait again later, she might still prove useful.

Yun Xiaoxiao had no idea she had just narrowly escaped death.

The car sped out of the villa, heading straight for the main gate.

The radio crackled to life, broadcasting information about a survivor’s base.

Yun Shaokai decided to drive straight toward it.

They avoided areas swarming with zombies, taking a narrow road beneath the overpass before merging onto the highway.

This route skirted the city’s outskirts, lined with houses and shops—which meant zombies were inevitable.

But there was no other way; this was the only path to the base.

Steeling himself, Yun Shaokai pressed on.

Then, he spotted a supermarket by the roadside.

His eyes lit up.

For someone who hadn’t eaten in days, a supermarket meant everything.

He scanned the area—not a single zombie in sight.

It was as if luck had smiled upon him.

He immediately pulled up to the store, ordering Tong Jiajia and Yun Xiaoxiao to help gather supplies.

But misfortune struck—the shelves had already been stripped bare of anything edible.

Yun Shaokai cursed under his breath.

As the three turned to leave, two zombies suddenly lunged at them from the side.

Yun Shaokai’s pupils constricted in panic. Acting on instinct, he grabbed Yun Xiaoxiao and shoved her toward the zombies.

Yun Xiaoxiao, just a five-year-old child, froze in terror as her own father pushed her into the monsters’ path. Her face drained of color, her body stiff with shock.

Seizing the opportunity, Yun Shaokai and Tong Jiajia bolted into the car.

The engine roared to life, and the car sped away—leaving Yun Xiaoxiao behind without a second thought.

Trembling uncontrollably, Yun Xiaoxiao’s eyes brimmed with sheer terror.

Her mind went blank, as if paralyzed.

As the zombies lunged, she dropped to the ground, covering her head.

Every nerve in her body tensed, her consciousness slipping into a daze.

Time blurred.

So much so that her legs grew numb from crouching.

When she finally dared to look up, she saw the two zombies lying motionless beside her, each with a gaping hole in their foreheads—as if pierced by something round and sharp.

She didn’t understand what had happened.

Only that she was still alive.

Relief quickly gave way to crushing sorrow.

Her father… had truly abandoned her.

She glanced around, lost and unsure where to go.

But exhaustion weighed her down.

With no strength left, she retreated into the supermarket.

Barricading the door with whatever she could find, she curled up in the farthest corner.

Hunger gnawed at her stomach, growling relentlessly.

But Yun Shaokai had already confirmed the store was empty—no food, not even expired scraps.

Yun Xiaoxiao hugged her knees, trying to sleep through the hunger.

Time slipped away again.

Just as she teetered on the edge of unconsciousness, faint footsteps reached her ears.

She wanted to see who it was, but her eyelids refused to obey.

The last thing she knew was being lifted into someone’s arms.

When she woke again, she found herself in a small room.

Several other children were there, fighting over food.

She recognized it—something her neighbor used to feed their dog.

Was this… dog food?

Yun Xiaoxiao swallowed hard.

She was starving.

At this point, even dog food was better than nothing.

But watching the others brawl over it, she hesitated to reach out.

Then, by sheer luck, two children knocked over the bowl in their struggle, scattering some kibble near her.

Quick as a flash, she grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth.

She was too famished to care.

She barely ate much—just a few bites.

But the other two children noticed.

After wolfing down their own share, they turned on her with fury.

“How dare you steal ours? Spit it out!”

“Give it back!”

They pinned her down—one squeezing her jaw, the other twisting her arm.

Tears welled in Yun Xiaoxiao’s eyes from the pain, but she stubbornly refused to cry. Instead, she swallowed the dog food before they could take it.

Just then, the door creaked open.

A man stepped inside.

He roared in irritation, "What's all this racket?! Keep it up and I'll kill every last one of you! Damn it..."

His shout instantly silenced everyone.

But the two little boys hung their heads low, shooting Yun Xiaoxiao a fierce glare.

Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t dare meet their eyes. She turned away just in time to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by outside the door.

That was... her mother!

Yun Xiaoxiao’s heart leaped with excitement.

She cried out, "Mom! It’s me, Xiaoxiao! Mom!"

But what greeted her was the man’s furious slap.

"Shut your mouth!"

The blow didn’t faze her.

Her eyes remained fixed on the open doorway, brimming with desperate hope.

Yet...

Nothing came of it in the end.

Yun Xiaoxiao lowered her head, disappointment flooding her gaze.

Maybe she’d mistaken someone else for her mother...

The thought dimmed her spirit, draining the light from her face.

The man took away the little boy who had earlier pinched her mouth shut.

No one knew where he was led.

All they knew was that the boy never returned.

After that, every few days, another child would be taken away.

Just like the others, none of them came back.

Soon, the little room held only Yun Xiaoxiao.

Then one day, the man entered again.

His gaze swept the space before landing on her.

"You, come here," he ordered.

Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t dare disobey—those who had before were beaten savagely, only to be dragged off in the end.

If she had to go either way, she’d rather skip the beating.

So she obeyed, stepping forward without resistance.

The man seemed pleased by her compliance.

Then he yanked her out of the room.

Two rows of houses stood to the left and right.

At the far end, dogs were kept in large numbers.

Pulled along by the man, she was led toward another locked building.
