Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Zhou Shuwan asked, "What about Third Aunt and the others? Are they also on the warship?"

Xue Tao was silent for a moment, his eyes dimming. He lowered his eyes, not meeting Zhou Shuwan's gaze, and slowly said, "During the extreme cold, Dongdong and I, two adults, were out searching for supplies. It suddenly became cold, and we didn't even have warm clothes or blankets. My mom and Qianqian gave all their clothes to Chunchun to wear to protect him..." His voice was choked with suppressed sobs, "When we came back... we were both frozen into ice... Chunchun was only breathing his last breath. Fortunately, he got on the warship and was saved by a military doctor... But his health has not been very good since then..."

Zhong Zhipeng patted Xue Tao's shoulder, as if to comfort her, but also as a silent sigh.

Zhou Shuwan's heart sank heavily.

After surviving the disaster, the joy of reunion is mixed with the sorrow of losing loved ones. This feeling is hard to describe.

Qi Mingyu was also filled with emotion.

He patted Zhou Shuwan's shoulder gently to comfort her.

In fact, in the apocalypse, the most likely to survive are young and strong men! Even if someone protects the elderly, women, and children, due to their physical fitness, very few will survive.

Zhou Shuwan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and suppressed his grief as he continued to look at Zhipeng: "Zhipeng, we haven't heard from Third Aunt's family. We heard from my eldest uncle's family about your family, saying that you were sold to a caravan as laborers. We even asked the base to help look for you. But the extreme cold soon arrived, and the matter was left unresolved..."

Zhipeng sneered, with deep hatred flashing in his eyes.

He spat fiercely on the ground, his disgust evident. "Where are my uncle and his family? Are they also on the shore?"

Zhou Shuwan shook his head and gave a brief account of how Uncle Zhong and his family were hanged.

Zhipeng was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "That's their own fault!"

He wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, as if to wipe away the sneer, and as if to wipe away the resentment that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

The waves hit the rocks on the shore, making a dull sound, just like Tongzhi Peng's suppressed emotions at the moment.

He told Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu that the team they were sold to was a cannibalistic gang that was extremely cruel.

The coolies who were sold away usually did hard labor, searched for supplies for them, and acted as vanguards, but when food was scarce, they served as backup food.

"After my uncle's family left, they tied up all of us, young and old," Zhipeng said, clenching his fists tightly until his knuckles turned white, as if he was back in that desperate moment.

"I took the opportunity to chat with the other coolies in the convoy. I knew the future was uncertain, but I absolutely couldn't foolishly follow them to their base. If I wanted to escape, I had to do it on the road."

So, after discussing with his parents in the middle of the night, he instigated a few coolies, made full preparations, cut the ropes that bound them in the middle of the night, and took sharp daggers to kill the sleeping people in the convoy.

There were more than fifty coolies in the team, and the coolies plus their family made up more than twenty people, which was half the number...

But Zhipeng, Yuxuan and Xiaofen had all learned self-defense and archery from Qi Mingyu, Zhou Shuwan and others, and since it was a life-and-death fight, they unexpectedly burst out with amazing fighting power and killed more than 50 people.

"But we also suffered heavy losses on our side." Zhipeng smiled sadly: "My mother died from excessive blood loss due to her injuries."

"My father, uncle, and Xiaofen were also injured. Later, when we were escaping in the convoy's car, Xiaofen had no medicine to treat her, and..."

He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, his voice still trembling slightly. "My father managed to survive, but he lost too much energy and blood, and his health gradually deteriorated. He contracted pneumonia during the extreme cold and passed away... Now my sister Yuxuan and I are the only ones left in the family..."
