Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 489
The unprepared military of Country R was thrown into chaos.
Although they had evolution serum, its quality was nowhere near that of Yun City's.
Moreover, they had only developed the serum a full year after the apocalypse began.
By then, most of Hua Country's Superhumans had already been using the serum for some time.
There was no way they could stand a chance against Yun Xiaoxiao and her team.
To put it simply, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others won without breaking a sweat.
They came with ease and left with a full haul.
And not a single casualty on their side!
Naturally, everyone was in high spirits.
This battle also served as a warning to many foreign forces.
If you dare provoke Hua Country, you’d better count how many heads you have to lose!
From then on, no foreign force dared to recklessly cause trouble in Hua Country again.
Life soon returned to peace.
Before anyone realized it, the coldest time of the year had arrived again.
On this day, Yun City was adorned with red lanterns and Chinese knots...
A festive atmosphere filled the air.
Everyone’s faces were lit up with happiness and joy.
Because—it was New Year’s!
"Happy New Year!"
"Haha, same to you!"
Wherever people met, they exchanged warm greetings.
The entire base was brimming with harmony.
Every New Year, Yun City became exceptionally lively.
That was because, on this day, all food and drinks were covered by the base leader, Yun Xiaoxiao.
No one had to spend their own credits.
They only needed to help prepare meals and decorate the celebration venue.
The entire base would gather in a large hall for the New Year’s Eve feast.
With the air conditioning and heating on, the hall was comfortably warm.
Numerous round tables were set up, along with a stage where everyone could enjoy performances while eating.
The performances were organized by the base members—anyone who wanted to participate could sign up.
Those selected would receive credit rewards, so enthusiasm was always high.
Yun Xiaoxiao bundled herself up in a thick down jacket, wrapped like a dumpling.
"Xiaoxiao-jie!"
Just as she reached the entrance of the hall, a tall young man came running toward her.
"Oh, Yichen~"
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled faintly.
Liu Yichen was the son of Liu Yi and Xue Huaixue—the base’s construction team leader—and the first child born within the base.
His name had been chosen by Yun Xiaoxiao herself.
For some reason, the boy had always been especially attached to her.
Every time she returned to the base, he would follow her around, calling her "jie-jie" nonstop.
Not that she minded—she genuinely adored this little brother.
She often gave him the best things she could find.
"Still so reckless even at this age," Xue Huaixue chuckled as she walked up from behind.
Beside her stood the now more mature Liu Yi.
"I think it’s great—full of energy," Qin Zhi chimed in from the side, supporting Grandma Niu.
Behind them were Fat Uncle and Nan Yi.
Qin Zhi had fully recovered from her illness, her demeanor gentler than ever. She had later gotten together with Fat Uncle.
The two didn’t have any more children, instead treating Nan Yi as their own and caring for him deeply.
They also took care of Grandma Niu together.
The four had first met in a mental institution—who would have thought they’d end up living together so harmoniously?
Thanks to Grandma Niu’s efforts, the base was now filled with blooming flowers.
Even in the bitter cold of winter or the scorching heat of summer, vibrant blossoms could be seen everywhere.
This played no small part in fostering happiness within the base.
Of course, it was also due to the base’s latest upgrade, which ensured that no living thing inside would mutate.
Truly, the base was now a place where they could defend against external threats while living out their days in peace.
If they never left, they could easily live there until the end of time.
"You’re all here!"
Another voice rang out from behind them.
Turning, they saw two adults and a child walking hand in hand.
It was Tao Mi'er and Liu Tao.
Four years after the Great Zombie War, the two had married.
Now, they had an adorable little daughter.
"Xiaoxiao-jie! Auntie Qin, Grandma Niu, Auntie Xue..." The little girl sweetly greeted each of them.
"Here, Happy New Year." Qin Zhi smiled, handing her a red envelope.
Though money was no longer in use, everyone still prepared red envelopes during the New Year—filled with small-denomination credit cards—to give to children or elders as a festive gesture.
"Wishing you happiness, good health, and progress in your studies."
At the mention of studies, the little girl clenched her fist in determination.
"I’ll do my best! I’ll grow up to be as amazing as Xiaoxiao-jie!"
"Such spirit! Here’s one for you too."
Yun Xiaoxiao pinched the girl’s chubby cheeks affectionately and handed her another red envelope.
By now, the base’s school was up and running.
All children of the right age attended classes.
But aside from basic academic subjects, the main focus was on physical training, combat techniques, and mastering their Superhuman abilities.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t forget about Liu Yichen either. After giving the little girl a red envelope, she handed one to Liu Yichen as well.
"Xiaoxiao, where’s mine?"
At that moment, Qu Xiaobei jumped in, stretching out her palm with a cheeky grin as she looked at Yun Xiaoxiao.
The corner of Yun Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched. "Aren’t you too old to be asking for red envelopes?"
Besides, wasn’t Qu Xiaobei older than her? If anything, she should be the one giving Yun Xiaoxiao a red envelope.
Qu Xiaobei chuckled and silently withdrew her hand. She had only been joking to lighten the mood—she hadn’t actually expected one.
Just as she pulled her hand back, she caught sight of three people.
Hands on her hips, she narrowed her eyes at Shen Yan, Long Zhe, and Tang Yanchi.
"Hey, why are you three still here? How long are you planning to freeload in our territory?"
These guys clung to Yun Xiaoxiao every single day—it was downright annoying!
Shen Yan smiled. "Well, we heard Yun City’s New Year’s Eve feast is both delicious and entertaining. We just had to see it for ourselves."
Long Zhe and Tang Yanchi quickly nodded in agreement.
"Right."
"Exactly." novelbuddy.cσ๓
Qu Xiaobei rolled her eyes.
Liu Yichen also shot the trio a glance, his gaze tinged with hostility.
"Alright, alright, let’s head inside. It’s freezing out here—we can chat more once we’re in," Xue Huaixue interjected with a warm laugh, smoothing things over.
Only then did everyone step into the venue.
The hall grew livelier as more people arrived.
Some gathered around tables, chatting animatedly, while others bustled about serving dishes or setting up the stage.
Soon, everyone had arrived.
The New Year’s Eve celebration officially began!
Onstage, singers performed enchanting melodies that swept the audience away.
Comedy sketches had everyone roaring with laughter.
At the dining tables, cheerful banter and laughter never ceased.
Glasses were raised high as the crowd cheered in unison.
"Happy New Year!"
(The End!)
