"Bang!"
Yun Xiaoxiao was driving when suddenly a loud noise came from ahead.
She frowned slightly; the sound seemed to be coming from the gas station.
She stepped on the accelerator, speeding up.
As she approached, she saw a middle-aged woman in a gas station uniform running quickly towards a large truck that had crashed into a gas station pillar and overturned.
The woman hurriedly knocked on the window, opened the door, and began dragging out the injured truck driver inside.
But just as she had dragged him halfway out, the truck driver, who had been hanging his head low, suddenly looked up. His eyeballs were bulging, the whites of his eyes mixed with red bloodshot, his face contorted. He opened his bloody mouth wide and bit down on the woman's neck.
Yun Xiaoxiao had just drawn her gun but didn't have time to fire before hearing the woman's piercing scream.
She frowned; she was still a step too late.
She hadn't expected the mutation to begin so quickly!
She raised her gun, aiming at the head of the truck driver who was frantically tearing at the woman.
"Bang!"
One shot hit the mark.
The truck driver, now turned zombie, fell to the ground.
The woman, who had just been lifeless, suddenly began to move. Her joints shifted as she stood up from the ground, twisted and contorted.
Half of her neck was already gone, her entire head tilted askew, with fresh blood continuously gushing from her neck, staining half of her body red.
She opened her bewildered eyes, looking around, her mouth opening and closing as she howled hoarsely.
Suddenly, she turned towards Yun Xiaoxiao's car, screaming frantically, excited at discovering fresh flesh.
She let out a "roar" and stumbled towards the car.
"Bang!"
Yun Xiaoxiao, her face expressionless, sent her on her way.
Perhaps because it was so late, there were no other staff on duty at the gas station besides the female employee from earlier.
Yun Xiaoxiao drove her car next to the gas pump, parked, and then went to the nearby convenience store to grab a chair.
Standing on the chair, she took down the gas nozzle and inserted it into the fuel tank of her large SUV. She pressed the switch and began fueling.
Next, she took out seven large oil drums from her system space and began stockpiling fuel in the same manner.
When one was full, she would place it directly into her space.
Then, she'd take out a new drum and continue filling.
During the intervals while filling the drums, she also collected all the items from the nearby convenience store.
Of course, she didn't overlook the overturned truck either.
She checked and saw that the truck was full of express deliveries, piled up in layers.
About ten minutes later, the sudden sound of emergency braking pierced the air.
A gray pickup truck stopped steadily next to the number one gas pump.
Two tall, burly men got out of the car. They had tattoos on their arms and fierce looks on their faces, appearing not to be the type to mess with.
"Boss, did you see? There's one of those things over there too, but it looks like someone took it down."
"Mm, don't worry about it. Let's fill up first."
Yun Xiaoxiao chewed on a lollipop, watching the two men at her leisure.
It seemed she had encountered some 'colleagues'.
Perhaps because of her small stature, neither of the men had noticed her.
"Boss, look!" The crew-cut man excitedly pointed at Yun Xiaoxiao's oil drums.
"Someone's already filled these for us. Saves us the time of having to do it ourselves."
As he spoke, he reached out to lift one.
"Uncle, it's not very polite to touch other people's things, you know," a childish voice suddenly rang out, tinged with amusement.
At the sound, the crew-cut man's hands suddenly froze.
He looked up towards the source of the voice.
There he saw a little girl, about five years old, chewing on a lollipop and looking at him with a half-smile.
She had bright black eyes, clear as black gemstones, sparkling like stars.
Her small face was soft and adorable, and when she smiled, she had two lovely dimples.
She had ear-length short hair and wore a white tracksuit with a white baseball cap, looking somewhat cool.
The two men exchanged glances and looked around.
Seeing no one else around except for Yun Xiaoxiao, the little girl, they immediately relaxed.
"You little brat, get lost! You dare to meddle in our business? Tired of living, are you?" The crew-cut man glared fiercely at Yun Xiaoxiao.
He thought Yun Xiaoxiao would be scared to tears, but she acted as if she hadn't heard him, continuing to eat her lollipop leisurely.
The crew-cut man frowned, about to say something more, but was stopped by the man with a scar on the corner of his eye.
"Enough, let's focus on the task at hand."
The two men placed their hands on the oil drum, preparing to lift it.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
The two men felt something quickly fly past their faces.
Then, with a "crash," the windshield of their pickup truck shattered into pieces.
The men's pupils constricted sharply as they looked in disbelief at the smiling Yun Xiaoxiao.
She was holding a gun in her hand!
"You... you..." The crew-cut man stammered, his face full of shock.
Why did this child have a gun?
More importantly, how could someone so young actually fire one?
"Oh my, what a shame. I missed," Yun Xiaoxiao said with a smile, her expression regretful.
Then, she raised an eyebrow and asked, as if casually, "Shall we try again?"
Though she was smiling, the two men felt a chill run from their feet straight to the top of their heads.
This kid was not to be trifled with, absolutely not to be messed with!
The same thought echoed in both their minds.
Although they didn't want to admit that they had been frightened by a five-year-old child, it was a fact they couldn't deny.
"L-little girl, we didn't mean to steal your things. Don't get upset," the crew-cut man swallowed hard, afraid Yun Xiaoxiao might put a bullet in his head.
It was no joke; there were still two corpses lying over there.
Each corpse had a bullet hole right in the middle of the forehead. It didn't take a genius to figure out who had done that.
"We're leaving right now, immediately. We won't bother you anymore."
As they spoke, the two men were about to get in their car and flee.
"Wait a moment," Yun Xiaoxiao's voice, like that of a devil, suddenly sounded from behind them.
The two men's movements froze, and they slowly turned around.
After that, the two men sadly became Yun Xiaoxiao's tools.
They helped Yun Xiaoxiao fill the oil drums and neatly arrange the filled drums together.
They even contributed their own oil drums.
As for the empty drums, Yun Xiaoxiao quietly placed them next to the gas station.
It was dark there and happened to be in the men's blind spot, so they didn't know these oil drums had just been brought out by Yun Xiaoxiao. They assumed they had been there all along.
While the two men worked hard, Yun Xiaoxiao leisurely lay on a lounge chair, eating chips and cracking sunflower seeds.
Her comfortable demeanor made the two men both envious and angry.
But when they saw the gun, they didn't dare show any temper.
When the last drop of oil fell into the drum, both men breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, all the oil is filled," the crew-cut man said with a forced smile.
Yun Xiaoxiao checked and, confirming there was no problem, nodded to the two men, "You can go now."
The two men almost wept with joy and were about to get in their car.
But the terrifying child's voice came from behind them again, "Leave the car."
The two men: ......
This must be a damn robber!
