Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 376

"How long did it take for you to fly back?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked with a serious tone.

Zheng Yuner: "About an hour."

Hearing this, the expressions of Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen turned grim.

Zheng Yuner grew anxious. "Let's hurry and save them."

"It's too late to go now," Lu Chen stated bluntly.

"Why?"

"We'll talk on the way."

Only then did Zheng Yuner notice that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others seemed ready to leave.

The group quickly boarded the helicopter again.

On the way, Ye Shuyuan treated Lei Ming and Zheng Yuner.

Nie Yizhou also recounted what had happened to him earlier.

It was then that Zheng Yuner understood why Yun Xiaoxiao and the others weren’t rushing to save Qu Xiaobei and the rest.

"So, you're saying they planned and orchestrated this attack on us? Once they succeeded, they would quickly relocate?"

"Yes, exactly. Especially since some of us escaped, they wouldn’t stay in one place for long. It’s already been an hour since you returned. By the time we get there, they’ll likely be gone."

Once the helicopter took off, they essentially lost all sense of direction.

Finding them would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

So, even if they rushed over,

they’d likely come up empty-handed, just like before.

Rather than waste time, it was better to head to the Northern Base first, figure out who these people were, and then plan a rescue mission to their headquarters.

If their suspicions were correct, and these people were after the supernatural abilities within Xiao Feng and the others,

and if they were foreigners who had been abducting people across regions,

then Xiao Feng and the others should be safe for the time being.

They would likely gather all the abducted individuals and transport them back to their headquarters.

At the very least, during this transportation phase, their lives wouldn’t be in immediate danger.

And transporting them would take time.

With heavy hearts, the group flew toward the Northern Base.

The Northern Base looked much the same as Yun Xiaoxiao remembered.

As soon as they landed, they ran into many familiar faces.

Jiang Huai and Long Zhe from Rongsheng Base, Peng Shaowei and Hao Ren from the Western Base, Tang Jun and Tang Yanchi from Xiangrui Base—they all seemed to have just arrived as well.

Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao and the others, they came forward to greet them.

"Xiaoxiao, long time no see!"

Long Zhe waved at Yun Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded in response.

Truthfully, she wasn’t in the mood to smile.

Tang Yanchi glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao, seemingly wanting to say something, but he held back.

Then, he got angry with himself,

as if someone had provoked him.

His expression turned sour.

"Everyone, please follow me to the conference hall."

A man with a military bearing, clearly from the armed forces, approached them.

So, everyone followed him toward the conference hall.

As they walked, they exchanged information.

From the conversation, they learned that their base had also experienced mysterious disappearances.

At first, they hadn’t paid much attention,

thinking those people had simply met with accidents.

It wasn’t until the Northern Base sent them a secret message that they realized it wasn’t a coincidence.

Peng Shaowei and Jiang Huai were both soldiers.

Protecting the nation from external threats was a duty ingrained in their blood.

Faced with such a situation, they naturally came without hesitation.

After a while, they arrived at the conference hall.

It was a two-story building surrounded by tempered glass,

giving it a solemn and dignified appearance.

They made their way to the second floor.

"Everyone, it’s right ahead,"

the guide said, pointing to a room at the far end of the hallway with its double doors wide open.

"Excuse me, where’s the restroom?"

Yun Xiaoxiao felt a bit unwell and decided to ask.

Since some bases hadn’t arrived yet, the meeting wouldn’t start immediately.

It was better to take care of her "urgent business" first—after all, nature calls couldn’t be ignored.

"Go straight down this hallway, turn left at the end, and it’s about fifty meters ahead,"

the guide pointed in the direction.

"Got it, thanks."

After thanking him, Yun Xiaoxiao waved to Lu Chen and the others as she walked away.

"You guys go ahead. I’ll catch up later."

"Be careful,"

Lu Chen said, though he knew Yun Xiaoxiao was unlikely to run into trouble. Still, he couldn’t help but remind her.

"Okay, I will."

With that, Yun Xiaoxiao hurried off.

She followed the directions she’d been given and soon found the restroom.

It was surprisingly clean.

Yun Xiaoxiao entered the women’s restroom, found an empty stall, and quickly went in.

Even she, like everyone else, had her moments of urgency.

As she was taking care of her business, she heard two flushes in quick succession.

Then, the doors of the stalls next to and across from hers opened.

Two female voices chimed in.

"Honestly, the Northern Base is really impressive. Even their restrooms are fancier than ours."

"Well, of course. It’s the largest base in all of China. If they didn’t have this level of sophistication, how could they claim to be the best?"

"Still, I’ve heard that there’s a base in the western region called Yun City. Supposedly, they have 24/7 automated water, electricity, and gas supply."

"That’s got to be a lie. Even the Northern Base only has electricity for two hours in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The rest of the time, they shut it off to conserve energy."

"Why would I lie to you?

Remember when our base went to Yun City to exchange for evolution serum?

People who’ve been there say they not only have water, electricity, and gas running all day, but they even have internet!"

"Internet?" The other woman sounded shocked. "I can’t even remember the last time I went online!"

Her voice carried a hint of envy.

The other woman continued, "Exactly! And Yun City has all sorts of shops and vendors selling everything you can imagine.

If it weren’t for the fact that we’re in the apocalypse, you’d think you’d traveled back to the pre-apocalypse era.

Plus, Yun City has farmland.

Huge greenhouses filled with fresh vegetables and fruits.

And all kinds of livestock—so many you can’t even count them.

But you know what the most amazing part is?"

"What?"

"Even the most ordinary person there can have white rice, fresh vegetables, and all kinds of meat with every meal!"

"You’ve got to be kidding me!"

The other woman was in disbelief.

"Meat, rice, and fresh vegetables with every meal?

But this is the apocalypse we’re talking about!

First, there was the zombie outbreak, then the extreme cold, and now the extreme heat.

The land can’t even support farming anymore.

That means the rice we have now is from before the apocalypse.

Every grain we eat is one less grain we’ll ever have.

Nowadays, even having porridge once in a while is considered a luxury.

How could anyone have white rice, fresh vegetables, and meat with every meal? It’s impossible!"

"That’s exactly how I reacted at first, but it’s true. People have seen it with their own eyes. How could it be fake?"
