Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 332

Through Huang Yan and the others' casual conversation, Yun Xiaoxiao finally learned the backstory.

It turned out that the Bell Tower was the property of Hu Ling's parents.

Her parents had died at the beginning of the apocalypse, leaving only Hu Ling and her older sister.

Hu Ling's sister was a kind-hearted person who had been sheltering survivors fleeing the chaos.

Initially, both men and women lived in the Bell Tower, totaling over a hundred people.

With so many people, conflicts were inevitable.

A few of the men, in particular, would secretly harass the pretty girls.

Hu Ling's sister, along with Huang Yan and the others, decided to expel them all.

However, those men weren’t willing to accept it. One night, they broke into the Bell Tower and lured a zombie inside.

This led to many innocent lives being lost.

In the effort to drive the zombie out, most of the remaining men sacrificed themselves.

Hu Ling's sister also died in the process.

To eliminate the threat once and for all, the remaining men stepped up to deal with those scoundrels.

But after leaving, they never returned.

The scoundrels never caused trouble again either.

To prevent such incidents from recurring, the Bell Tower stopped accepting men from that point onward.

The thirty or so survivors had been supporting each other ever since.

"Big Sister Huang Yan, where are we going next?"

Late at night, Little Dong sat on the floor, hugging her knees, her eyes filled with confusion as she asked.

Huang Yan glanced out the window.

"The Central Base."

In fact, she had wanted to lead the group to the Central Base half a year ago.

Firstly, it was the largest base in the central region, offering greater safety.

Moreover, it wasn’t too far from their current location—just two days away if everything went smoothly.

Secondly, her sister and brother-in-law’s family might also be there.

The reason they hadn’t gone yet was because Hu Ling had always refused to leave the Bell Tower.

Out of gratitude for Hu Ling's sister, Huang Yan couldn’t bring herself to abandon Hu Ling.

So, the plan had been put on hold.

Now, with no more reservations and nowhere else to go, it was only natural to head there.

"What about Sister Xiaoxiao?"

Little Dong glanced at the wall.

Huang Yan was momentarily stunned before she smiled.

"She... probably won’t be coming with us."

For the past three days, Yun Xiaoxiao hadn’t stayed with them.

Instead, she had been living alone next door.

But they knew that she went out every day.

On the first day, she had cleared out all the zombies in their building.

On the second day, she had cleaned out the zombies in the buildings across from them.

On the third day, which was today, no one knew where she had gone, but she had left early in the morning and only returned after dark.

In short, she hardly seemed to rest.

Huang Yan had tried to bring her food a few times, but Yun Xiaoxiao had refused, even giving them some supplies in return.

She was a lone wolf—cautious yet kind, utterly unique.

Huang Yan had never met a child with such a distinct personality before.

On the fourth day, the rain finally stopped.

Huang Yan and the others began gathering supplies, preparing for their journey.

Yun Xiaoxiao, meanwhile, was busy hunting down the zombies in the city that had caught her "eye."

It seemed like everyone had almost forgotten about Hu Ling.

But on the morning of the sixth day, a piercing scream erupted from the Bell Tower.

Hearing it, Huang Yan and the others were startled and rushed to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"My God, what... is that monster?!"

Little Dong’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the rose bush in the Bell Tower’s courtyard, which was nearly half as tall as the tower itself. Her face was filled with terror.

At that moment, Hu Ling was bound head to toe by the thorny rose vines and lifted into the air.

The thorns pierced through her coat and dug into her flesh.

Blood ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‍streamed down the thorns but was quickly absorbed by the greenish vines.

Hu Ling screamed in agony, her face twisted as if she were being tortured.

Huang Yan couldn’t bear to watch and wanted to save her.

But just then, Hu Ling shouted.

"Ahhh! Huang Yan, you heartless people, come save me already!"

"My sister took you in out of kindness, and now you’re leaving her sister to die? You ungrateful wretches, you’ll die horrible deaths, ahhh!"

Since the distance between their building and the Bell Tower wasn’t far, and Hu Ling’s voice was loud, her words reached Huang Yan and the others clearly.

They hadn’t been hiding their presence these past few days, so Hu Ling knew they were in the building.

Her words were clearly meant for them.

Huang Yan, who had been about to rush to her rescue, froze in her tracks upon hearing this.

If Hu Ling hadn’t said those things, she would have gone over immediately.

No matter how dangerous it was, she would have tried to save her—out of respect for Hu Ling’s sister.

But now, after hearing those words, she no longer wanted to.

This person’s character was completely different from the strong and decisive girl she remembered.

They didn’t seem like sisters at all!

Everything about Hu Ling felt like a stain on the memory of that wonderful woman.

In that case, it might be better if she... just died!

A flicker of indifference passed through Huang Yan’s eyes.

If Huang Yan didn’t want to save her, the others certainly had no intention of doing so either.

Not only was there the terrifying, human-sized rose bush, but Hu Ling’s words had completely extinguished any desire to help her.

Next door, Yun Xiaoxiao sat leisurely in a recliner, munching on an apple and warming herself by the fire, calmly watching Hu Ling being drained of blood.

In fact, she had been the first to notice.

She had spotted the rose bush beginning to mutate earlier but hadn’t intervened.

Instead, she had sat back and enjoyed the show.

She had no reason to save someone she didn’t like.

Over at the Bell Tower, Hu Ling’s screams grew weaker.

Her face visibly paled as the life drained from her body.

Yun Xiaoxiao absently stroked the flower bracelet on her wrist.

"Do you think you can handle eating that rose bush?"

The little flower bracelet immediately grew larger, glanced in the direction of the mutated rose bush, and nodded excitedly.

It then tried to climb out the window to head over.

Yun Xiaoxiao held it back.

"Don’t rush. Wait a bit. I’ll take you over to eat it soon."

A meaningful smile flickered in her eyes.

While her little flower and beasts had previously grown stronger through spirit spring water and evolution liquid, their best nourishment wasn’t those things.

It was... their own kind—other creatures with mutated genes!

She was curious to see what changes would occur after her little flower devoured the rose bush.

Just as Hu Ling took her last breath, a small figure suddenly appeared on the Bell Tower courtyard’s wall.

"Hey, isn’t that Sister Xiaoxiao?"

"Why is she over there?"

Huang Yan and the others were puzzled.

But the next second, they saw a morning glory vine, even thicker than the mutated rose bush, emerge. Its flower bud opened wide and... swallowed the rose bush whole!
