Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 426

Tang De discreetly observed Tong Zhan.

From the others’ gazes, he knew this group was led by this young boy who appeared no older than a few years old.

Tong Zhan slowly swept his eyes over Tang De, Tang Jun, and Tang Yanchi before finally fixing his stare on Tang Yanchi.

With a cold smirk, he said, "Keep looking at me like that, and I’ll gouge out your eyeballs."

His voice was neither loud nor harsh, yet it sent chills down their spines.

The words immediately infuriated Tang Yanchi.

Even Tang De’s expression darkened slightly.

For someone so young, the sheer malice in him was unsettling.

Of course, from his tone, Tang De also guessed that these people were not to be trifled with.

So before Tang Yanchi could snap back, he stepped in first.

"Everyone, if you have business at our base, just say it outright."

"Old man, it’s simple," Wu Mei said with a lazy, alluring smile. "Just swear allegiance to our master with everyone in your base."

"And why should we submit to you?" Tang Yanchi couldn’t hold back any longer and scoffed.

Wu Mei smirked at him mockingly. "Kid, our master is the mighty Zombie King. You should feel honored he’s chosen to make you his subjects."

Zombie King?!

At those words, the Tang family and the others stiffened.

They had heard the rumors from Yun City—about the existence of a Zombie King.

Their eyes involuntarily flickered toward Tong Zhan, whose presence was unnervingly distinct among the crowd.

Si Sha’s voice was icy. "Think carefully. Don’t waste your lives resisting. If you dare fight back, you’ll end up like Ren City Base—just one word: dead."

Ren City Base?

Had something already happened there?

The group’s faces darkened.

Just then, to demonstrate their power, Wu Mei flashed to the side of a previously wounded man, dragging him before Tong Zhan in an instant.

Under the man’s horrified gaze, Tong Zhan raked his nails across his throat.

Five bloody gashes appeared in an instant.

Tang De and the others were aghast.

They wanted to intervene—but it was too late.

"You’ve gone too far!" Tang Yanchi finally snapped.

He lunged at the nearest tattooed man, attacking without hesitation.

Tang Jun, who had been seething with rage, followed without a word.

With the Tang brothers leading the charge, the rest of Xiangrui Base’s fighters unleashed their full force, charging at Si Sha and his group.

They ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍had been pushed to their limit—first invaded, then forced to watch one of their own slaughtered in cold blood. No self-respecting warrior could endure such humiliation.

Xiangrui Base was among the strongest of the survivor settlements.

Proud and unyielding, they refused to let anyone trample over them.

But just as the battle erupted, the man Tong Zhan had wounded let out an agonized scream—his body twisting violently.

He was… mutating!

The crowd recoiled in horror.

This transformation was even faster than from an ordinary zombie bite.

In that moment, they realized just how terrifying Tong Zhan truly was.

"Last chance," Tong Zhan sneered at Tang De and the others. "Submit… or die?"

Right on cue, the freshly turned zombie let out a rasping snarl—his face pallid, his eyes hollow.

Many of those who had been fighting with righteous fury hesitated, some even freezing mid-action.

A man in his thirties, Liu Xiong, clenched his fists, conflict flashing in his eyes. After a few seconds of hesitation, he suddenly bowed deeply toward Tong Zhan.

"Master," he declared loudly. "I pledge my loyalty!"

"Liu Xiong! What the hell are you doing?!" another man roared in disbelief.

Liu Xiong met his gaze, pain flickering in his eyes.

"I’m not like you—no family, no one to worry about if you die.

I have parents. A wife. Children.

My life isn’t just my own.

I won’t gamble with their safety. Do you understand?"

"But siding with a murderous Zombie King?!" the other man spat. "Where’s your pride?!"

Liu Xiong gave a bitter laugh. "What’s pride worth these days? Does conscience put food on the table?"

Without another glance at the others, he strode toward Tong Zhan.

Tong Zhan seemed pleased with his first willing convert.

He ordered Liu Xiong to extend his hand—then bit down on the back of it.

After the bite, he dragged Liu Xiong toward the newly turned zombie, pressing Liu Xiong’s hand near its mouth.

Yet the zombie ignored him completely.

The entire Xiangrui Base—including Liu Xiong himself—stared in shock.

"Wait… why didn’t it attack Liu Xiong?"

Whispers spread like wildfire.

"Look—it’s not just Liu Xiong. Zhou Liankai isn’t attacking anyone either!"

Zhou Liankai was the man who had just turned.

"Check their hands! They all have bite marks too!"

Someone pointed at Si Sha and the others.

“Hahaha… See that? This is what we call ‘the wise submit to circumstances’!”

The bare-chested burly man standing beside Si Sha let out an appreciative laugh.

“You must be wondering why we’re not afraid of the zombies, right?”

The man swept a glance over Tang Jun and the others, his face brimming with pride.

“That’s all thanks to our master’s blessing! If you pledge allegiance to him, you’ll never have to fear zombies again in this godforsaken world. You’ll walk through it like you own the place.

“Right now, following our master is the only way forward. Soon, he’ll rule the entire world—those who submit will thrive, and those who resist will perish! Got it?”

His menacing gaze swept over the crowd, carrying an unmistakable threat.

His words clearly stirred something in many of them.

Before long, one after another, people began stepping toward Tong Zhan’s side.

“Hmph! Go ahead and leave, you spineless cowards!”

The man who had earlier confronted Liu Xiong shouted furiously.

“Anyone else? If you’re leaving, then get the hell out now!”

The group around the Tang family grew thinner and thinner.

Nearly half had already deserted.

Tang Jun and Tang Yanchi stood stiff-faced.

On the surface, surrendering might seem like the smarter move—more gain than loss.

But nothing in this world came free.

Especially when that ‘gift’ was offered by a group of ruthless, cold-blooded killers!

Just as they steeled themselves for a final stand against Tong Zhan and his men, Tang De suddenly took a few steps forward.

“Dad, what are you doing?”

Tang Yanchi’s lips parted slightly, a flash of shock in his eyes.

He prayed his father wasn’t about to make the choice he feared.

He didn’t want to lose respect for him!

But then Tang De bowed deeply to Tong Zhan.

“On behalf of everyone in my base, I choose to submit to you. I beg you… spare every last one of them.”

“Base Leader, you—”

“Why?!”

Voices of disbelief erupted behind him.

They hadn’t stepped forward—yet their leader had just betrayed them all.
