Chapter 269

"Didn’t kick you, did I?"0

Yang Meng narrowed her eyes, clenched her fist, and swung at Chong Ming.0

Chong Ming dodged while pleading for mercy.0

"Not scared, are you? Those two are always like this, the classic love-hate duo."0

Liu Xiaohui smiled, pushing up her thick glasses.0

She then pulled out a crumpled candy from her pocket, unsure if it had gone bad.0

"Here, have this."0

She couldn’t help but add a compliment.0

"You look just like a doll!"0

"Thank you, sister. You’re very pretty too."0

Yun Xiaoxiao thanked her politely, her dimples deepening.0

"Really?"0

Liu Xiaohui touched her face, instantly delighted.0

It was the first time anyone had ever called her pretty!0

Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at the four of them. Though she was curious about many things, now wasn’t the time for chit-chat.0

She had more pressing matters to attend to.0

"Sisters, I’ll catch up with you later. I have something to take care of."0

"Something to do? What is it?"0

Hearing this, Yang Xue immediately stopped her assault and ran over to Yun Xiaoxiao.0

With a beaming smile, she asked, "Need any help? I’m pretty good at beating people up."0

Her voice, which had just been gruff and angry, instantly turned sweet and high-pitched when talking to Yun Xiaoxiao.0

"Crash!"0

At that moment, a glass window shattered.0

Several mutated zombies crawled in.0

They stared at the group like hungry wolves.0

Han Bing quickly scooped Yun Xiaoxiao into her arms.0

"Little one, don’t be scared. We’ll protect you."0

Yun Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched. She wanted to say she could protect herself.0

But before she could speak, the zombies lunged at them.0

The moment the zombies moved, Han Bing and the others sprang into action.0

Yang Xue and Chong Ming were both skilled fighters with supernatural abilities.0

Working together, they swiftly took down four of the mutated zombies.0

Meanwhile, Han Bing wielded her massive cannon, blasting the remaining three to pieces.0

Among the four, only Liu Xiaohui didn’t possess an offensive ability.0

But when the zombies broke in, she showed no fear.0

She simply stood quietly behind Han Bing, as if this were a familiar routine.0

"Xiaohui, that cannon you invented is seriously amazing!"0

Yang Xue gave Liu Xiaohui a thumbs-up in admiration.0

Liu Xiaohui adjusted her glasses and smiled modestly.0

"It’s alright. It could still be improved."0

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire building began to shake violently.0

It felt like a sudden earthquake.0

The group staggered, nearly losing their balance.0

"Holy crap, is this building about to collapse?!"0

Chong Ming stared at the heavily tilting structure, his eyes wide.0

"Hold on for a bit. I’ll take the little one and Xiaohui to that building over there!"0

Han Bing shouted, ready to carry Yun Xiaoxiao and Liu Xiaohui to safety.0

"Wait."0

Yun Xiaoxiao quickly broke free from her grip.0

In the next second, the group felt something pull at them.0

Their heads spun.0

When they regained consciousness, they found themselves back on the rooftop where Yun Xiaoxiao had been standing earlier!0

The group: !!!0

The building they had just been in had completely collapsed.0

"There were rumors on the forum that the contractor for our school’s lab building cut corners. I didn’t believe it!0

But now it’s clear—it’s a total death trap!"0

Yang Xue fumed.0

"Look, all the other buildings are still standing, but our lab building collapsed.0

If this had happened before the apocalypse, with students inside, how many would have died?!"0

After venting their frustration, the four noticed Yun Xiaoxiao nearby.0

She stood at the edge of the rooftop, focused, holding something in her hands.0

The group exchanged curious glances and leaned in to see what she was holding.0

"Is that... a drone controller?"0

Chong Ming tilted his head, muttering softly.0

"Don’t pretend you know what you’re talking about," Yang Xue snapped.0

Chong Ming shot back, "Who’s pretending? I’ve played with these before with my uncle. It’s definitely one—no, not just similar, it *is* one!"0

Just then, Liu Xiaohui pointed in a direction.0

"Look!" she exclaimed.0

The three looked up and saw over twenty drones hovering in the sky toward Gong City’s eastern gate.0

Their eyes then fell on the horde of zombies rushing in that direction on the streets below.0

Their expressions froze in shock.0

"Holy crap, are those drones luring the zombies?!"0

"Seems... like it."0

"Then the little one is..."0

All four turned to Yun Xiaoxiao.0

They were stunned.0

Just who was this little girl?0

Chong Ming poked Han Bing, whispering behind his hand,0

"I think you were a bit too quick to act. This little one might be even stronger than us."0

Yang Xue rolled her eyes. "Oh, shut it. Like we didn’t notice?!"0

Earlier, they hadn’t thought much about it.0

But now, it was clear they’d made assumptions.0

Seeing someone so young, they’d immediately assumed she needed protection.0

But in this world, things could no longer be judged by conventional standards.0

Age meant nothing.0

Still, they were curious—where was Yun Xiaoxiao leading the zombies?0

Seeing her focused expression, they wisely stayed quiet and didn’t disturb her.0

Instead, they stood by and watched.0

Yun Xiaoxiao could sense their thoughts.0

After a while, she put away the controller and turned to the four with a smile.0

"Brothers and sisters, want to see a mushroom cloud?"0

Before they could process her words...0

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"0

A series of deafening explosions erupted.0

Black smoke rose in rings over the eastern part of the city.0

"That’s..."0

The four stared in disbelief.0

"Little one, did you just lure all the zombies there and blow them up?!"0

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled leisurely. "Yep."0

"But not just me—us."0

The group ignored the second part of her sentence, focusing only on the first.0

She really blew up the zombies?0

Not just a few, but the entire city’s horde?!0

How could a child do something like that?0

No way!!!0

As they stood in shock, the explosions continued for a full twenty minutes.0

"Want to go kill some zombies?"0

Once the explosions subsided, Yun Xiaoxiao turned to the four, inviting them enthusiastically.0

Though many zombies had been wiped out,0

there were surely stragglers left in the city.0

If they were going to clean up, they couldn’t leave a single one behind.0

The group: ......0

Kill zombies?0

Did they hear that right?0

As they hesitated, they heard the sound of countless clashes coming from the eastern part of the city.0

There were a lot of people fighting!0n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The four were utterly bewildered.0

It felt like they’d just woken up to a world gone mad.0

Before, they’d been avoiding zombies at all costs.0

But now, this little girl and the people over there were boldly charging into the city to slaughter them!0
