Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 409

"A week ago, a large number of mutated field mice appeared in the vegetable patch in front of the base.

Those mice kept running into our base, but in the end, they all died mysteriously."

As Hua Bai spoke, it seemed he was recalling the situation and still found it quite unbelievable.

Yun Xiaoxiao understood immediately.

It was likely the system had detected the danger and initiated an automatic attack.

Just as Hua Bai finished speaking, Mu Yang emerged from inside the base.

He hadn’t attended the meeting at the Northern Base.

At the time, he had fallen seriously ill.

Mo Chun stayed behind to care for him.

By the time he recovered, he learned that Xiao Feng and the others had gotten into trouble.

He rushed to the Northern Base immediately,

only to be told that Yun Xiaoxiao and her group had already left.

He didn’t know where they had gone—there was no way to track them down.

So, he returned to Yun City, handling its affairs while secretly coordinating with people from other bases to eliminate the remnants of that mysterious foreign organization still lurking in Hua Country.

After relentless efforts during this period, the organization’s members had been almost entirely eradicated.

Seeing everyone gathered now, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

A warm smile spread across his face.

"Welcome home."

Mu Yang had already contacted the Northern Base ahead of time.

Upon learning that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others were returning, he instructed Hua Bai and Hua Ye to keep an eye on the distant sky.

The moment they spotted Yun City’s helicopter flying back, they were to call him.

The instant he received their call, he had Qin Zhi and the others prepare a lavish feast.

By the time Yun Xiaoxiao’s group arrived, the food was ready.

At the sight of the sumptuous spread on the table, Nie Yizhou and Qu Xiaobei practically pounced on it.

Their eyes gleamed as they swallowed hard, their mouths watering.

Ah, life at the base was truly the best!

Though they hadn’t starved outside—eating fish and meat every day—

the flavors and variety paled in comparison to what the base offered.

Out there, their meals had been monotonous: grilled fish, over and over.

But here? Everything was available—fried, steamed, roasted, boiled—nothing was missing.

Most importantly, with scorching temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius outside, they could now sit in an air-conditioned room, enjoying their meal in cool comfort, no longer sweating with every bite!

Tears of gratitude welled up in their eyes.

The group gathered around the large round table. While no one was exactly wolfing down the food, their table manners weren’t exactly refined either.

Lu Chen noticed something unusual about Lei Ming and his companions.

One of them, sensing his confusion, chuckled and offered an explanation.

The painful experiences of the past were now recounted with calm acceptance.

As long as they were alive, there was still hope.

The meal left everyone deeply satisfied.

During this time, Yun Xiaoxiao also learned that production at the Central Base had stabilized.

Under Mo Chun’s leadership, all survivors there had thrown themselves into production.

Plant-based, water-based, and ice-based ability users were working in specially constructed greenhouses, experimenting with growing crops.

The first batch of bean sprouts had already been successfully cultivated.

Before Mu Yang left, the base had achieved self-sufficiency in bean sprouts.

For survivors who hadn’t tasted fresh greens in ages, this was nothing short of a miracle.

And when they heard that self-sufficiency in meat, snacks, and other essential supplies would follow, their joy knew no bounds.

Smiles of happiness lingered on their faces from dawn till dusk.

The atmosphere was a far cry from when Mu Yang had first arrived—when despair had hung heavy in the air.

Now, hope thrived.

After the meal, Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen returned to the hillside villa.

Life soon settled back into its usual rhythm.

Everything progressed smoothly.

But outside, the extreme heat made survival increasingly difficult.

Supplies dwindled, and life grew harsher.

With the constant threat of zombies and mutated flora and fauna, people lived in relentless turmoil, their nerves perpetually on edge.

To purchase supplies and evolution serums from Yun City, survivors had no choice but to risk their lives hunting zombies and mutated creatures for their crystals.

Yun Xiaoxiao, in a rare show of leniency, slashed prices repeatedly.

In her words, "Every life saved is a victory."

She had no desire to see humanity—especially Hua Country’s people—wiped out.

Even if Yun City remained impenetrable, safe from harm, facing hordes of mutated zombies and creatures while confined within its walls would be no different from imprisonment.

No matter how comfortable Yun City was, a gilded cage was still a cage.

Of course, when dealing with disagreeable bases or groups, she wasn’t above extortion.

Can’t afford it?

Too bad—no deal.

Come back when you’ve got enough crystals.

A month after Yun Xiaoxiao’s return, word came from the Western Base.

They proposed launching another Great Zombie Purge—to reclaim a safer world.

Even if all zombies were eradicated, the threat of mutated flora and fauna would remain.

But eliminating one danger at a time was still progress.

Unlike mutations, which were unpredictable—when, where, or what would mutate—zombies were a known, immediate threat.

Dealing with them first was essential.

For one, zombies posed the gravest danger.

A wound from mutated creatures wouldn’t turn you into one—you’d stay human, and healing was possible.

But a single zombie scratch? Unless you were immune, you were doomed.

Secondly, battling zombies honed combat skills through real experience.

This would better prepare survivors for future encounters with mutated creatures.

Moreover, killing zombies yielded crystals—currency for evolution serums and supplies.

Strengthening oneself while securing resources for the base?

A win on all fronts.

Peng Shaowei’s plan, coordinated with Bai Hongting, was to go all out this time.

Beyond the Western and Northern Bases, they aimed to rally the Eastern, Southern, and Central Bases—uniting all of Hua Country in wiping out every last zombie.

But one major concern remained: the staggering resource demands of such a campaign.

With every base already struggling with shortages, securing sufficient supplies was non-negotiable.

Without solving this, the operation couldn’t proceed.

Hence, Peng Shaowei reached out to Yun Xiaoxiao, hoping she could provide resources as before.

Of course, she’d name her terms—fair and square.

They wouldn’t let her take a loss.
