Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse-Chapter 416

In truth, he had been standing behind the crowd just moments ago.

As soon as Peng Shaowei woke up, he ordered him to radio contact Yun Xiaoxiao.

So, he relayed to Peng Shaowei that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others were already at the base's entrance.

Peng Shaowei immediately instructed him to invite them inside.

Judging by Peng Shaowei's demeanor, it seemed he not only held no grudge against ‘Yun Xiaoxiao’ for nearly costing him his life but also appeared to have something urgent to discuss with her.

He was puzzled. At first, he even considered advising Peng Shaowei to reconsider.

But Peng Shaowei was firm in his decision and assured him there would be no issues.

Only then did he set off.

The entire way, he hesitated.

It wasn’t until he witnessed Yun Xiaoxiao silently toying with a few people earlier that everything clicked.

He also recalled how the ‘Yun Xiaoxiao’ who had severely injured Peng Shaowei that day had felt... off.

At the time, he hadn’t dwelled on it.

But now, it was clear—that person couldn’t have been the real Yun Xiaoxiao. Someone must have impersonated her!

A person’s appearance might be replicated, but their gaze and the aura they exude are nearly impossible to mimic.

The ‘Yun Xiaoxiao’ back then had given him an unsettling vibe.

This one, however, felt completely genuine!

No doubt, Chief Peng had sensed it too.

Hao Ren suddenly felt ashamed.

Not only had he failed to notice the deception immediately, but he’d also blamed Yun City the moment Peng Shaowei was injured.

If he’d realized sooner, the fake ‘Yun Xiaoxiao’ would never have gotten close enough to harm Chief Peng!

Yun Xiaoxiao and the others followed Hao Ren to Peng Shaowei’s residence.

Inside the room, Peng Shaowei lay weakly on the bed, his abdomen still wrapped in bandages.

When he saw Yun Xiaoxiao and the group enter, he immediately tried to sit up.

One of his aides quickly steadied him.

"Uncle Peng," Yun Xiaoxiao called softly.

"Are you feeling better?"

Peng Shaowei gave a bitter smile. "Well enough. At least I’m alive."

"Ah, right—you’ve come at the perfect time. There’s something I need to tell you."

His expression grew serious.

"The person who attacked me earlier... they looked exactly like you, Xiaoxiao. The moment they saw me, they drew a knife, as if targeting me specifically.

But I suspect I wasn’t their only goal.

They used your face to enter the base, likely because they knew we’re close.

I’d never suspect you.

So, injuring me was probably meant to frame you.

As for why they’d want to frame you... I still can’t figure that out.

But their intentions are clearly malicious. You need to be careful.

Don’t let them outmaneuver you."

Every word Peng Shaowei spoke was laced with concern.

It was evident he genuinely cared for Yun Xiaoxiao.

Listening to him, Yun Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed slightly.

*Who exactly is this person?*

Lu Chen and the others exchanged glances, their expressions grave.

They were in the light; the enemy was in the shadows.

What was the purpose of taking Yun Xiaoxiao’s form?

Nie Yizhou suddenly pursed his lips and slowly scanned everyone in the room.

"Say, if this person can really mimic others... couldn’t they be disguised as someone we know, hiding among us right now?"

The moment he said it, an uncomfortable chill ran through the group.

Honestly... it wasn’t impossible.

Nie Yizhou pointed at Hao Ren, eyes narrowed in mock suspicion. "You. Are you the imposter?"

"I—I’m real! I swear!" Hao Ren flailed his hands defensively.

"Me too!" The young man supporting Peng Shaowei hastily vouched for himself.

"Pfft—"

Nie Yizhou burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! I’m just messing with you! Lighten up, everyone—deep breaths!" He patted his chest dramatically.

"Idiot," Xiao Feng muttered, rolling his eyes.

Hao Ren shot him a disgruntled side-eye.

*Now’s really not the time for jokes. Not funny at all!*

"Chief! Bad news!"

A panicked voice suddenly rang out from outside.

A soldier rushed in, his face pale.

Peng Shaowei looked up. "What is it?"

The soldier glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao before stammering, "There’s... there’s another Yun Xiaoxiao at the gate!"

The sight had nearly scared them to death.

One ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‍had just walked in, and now another showed up?

This wasn’t some *Journey to the West* “true and false Monkey King” skit!

Before the soldier could finish, Yun Xiaoxiao vanished from the spot.

Lu Chen and the others reacted instantly, grabbing Nie Yizhou and disappearing in a flash.

Hao Ren turned to Peng Shaowei, alarmed. "Chief, what do we do?"

Peng Shaowei’s eyes narrowed. "Whoever injured me... their goal was likely to lure Xiaoxiao out.

Mobilize a team—pick the strongest—and go assist them."

"Understood!" Hao Ren saluted and hurried off.

Before leaving, he ordered the guards outside to heighten their vigilance.

*No more harm must come to Chief Peng.*

At the main gate...

Two ‘Yun Xiaoxiaos’ stood facing each other.

A mere hundred meters apart.

Yun Xiaoxiao studied the near-perfect copy of herself and arched a brow.

To be honest, seeing a carbon copy of myself was quite surreal.

So, this is how beautiful I look!

Except, that person’s gaze and aura were nothing like mine.

It practically dragged down my charm.

Disappointing!

As Yun Xiaoxiao scrutinized Wu Mei, Lu Chen and the others appeared behind her.

Their eyes all widened in astonishment.

“Kid, she really looks just like you,” Nie Yizhou teased, poking Yun Xiaoxiao’s shoulder with his index finger.

The moment his words left his mouth, the ‘Yun Xiaoxiao’ across from them suddenly... bolted.

Without hesitation, Yun Xiaoxiao gave chase.

Turns out, the other could teleport too.

Just as Yun Xiaoxiao was about to catch her, the imposter leaped forward in a single bound, landing hundreds of meters ahead.

Watching this, Yun Xiaoxiao curled her lips into a smirk.

Heh, interesting.

Seems like they’re deliberately luring me somewhere.

Lu Chen and the others caught up.

“Little one, looks like an ambush is waiting for you up ahead,” Ling Jing remarked, a hint of twisted excitement flashing in his eyes.

“Why are *you* so happy about it?” Lu Chen shot him a sidelong glance.

Ling Jing grinned eerily. “Don’t you think this is thrilling?”

At that, both Lu Chen and Yun Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched in unison.

Diagnosis confirmed: this guy’s sanity was definitely questionable.

He should probably get reevaluated at a mental institution.

Chasing the fake ‘Yun Xiaoxiao,’ they pressed on until they reached a derelict city.

The imposter, who had been running nonstop, abruptly halted.

She turned around, smiling at Yun Xiaoxiao as she raised a finger to her lips and let out a sharp whistle.

In the next moment, three men emerged swiftly from the shadows and flanked her.

When Lu Chen spotted the black-clad, arrogantly composed Si Sha among them, his brow furrowed slightly.

*Him.*
