Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

With nothing else to do the next day, Zhou Yang took another trip around Shanghai.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yang rushed to the old street shop to pick up the two knives, and then went to the pet hospital.

As soon as Zhou Yang came in, the little yellow dog, which had been listless, started barking loudly.

"It really likes you!" The receptionist smiled when she saw the little yellow dog jumping around. "Before you came, it looked a bit melancholy. It wouldn't even acknowledge me when I fed it dog food."

Zhou Yang looked at the little yellow dog with surprise. This silly dog ​​has learned to recognize people?

"This kind of country dog ​​is naturally healthier than other dogs. The wound looks like it's healing well. We'll prescribe some more medicine and it can be discharged soon. The fracture in its front leg will be fine after about a month of rest at home. We can come back for a check-up then."

"Um, it's the stray dog ​​I found... and I'm just passing through Shanghai on my trip. Would it be convenient for your hospital to take it in? Don't worry, I'll cover all the costs during its treatment."

Zhou Yang had never considered adopting the dog; he thought the hospital might take it in.

"Oh? You don't plan to keep it? But our hospital can't take it in..." the receptionist nurse said with difficulty.

"It's not so much about the cost, but mainly because the hospital doesn't have room to house them. After they recover, the stray dogs that no one wants to adopt will eventually be sent to a nearby rescue station."

“You know how rescue stations are; they can only keep these stray animals alive. So if conditions allow, we still hope that the rescuers themselves can adopt them.”

Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the little yellow dog's grape-like eyes staring at him intently, and that longing look instantly softened his heart.

He doesn't seem that stupid after all.

I've been considering getting a dog anyway, so I might as well go for this one.

"Then I'll take it with me later. By the way, besides dog food, what else do I need to raise it?"

"Just buy it some chew toys, pee pads, and a dog bed. As for potty training, you can teach it to pee on the pee pads, or take it for a walk in the morning and evening to relieve itself. This dog looks very smart and is easy to train. Plus, mixed-breed dogs don't get sick easily and are easy to raise."

"Okay, do you have these things here? I'll buy them and take them with me."

Yes, yes. I'll settle the bill with you later.

"Okay! Give me a few bags of dog food too."

Thinking about the issue of removing the stitches, Zhou Yang hurriedly asked, "By the way, I have to leave Shanghai today, and the stitches will be removed in a month. Can I find another pet hospital?"

"It's okay, just take his medical record with you in a bit, and you can show it to the doctor there later."

Zhou Yang was finally relieved after hearing this.

Finally, carrying the dog cage containing the little yellow dog, with the dog's medical record card in his pocket, and having bought a bunch of dog supplies, he left the pet hospital.

Back in the car, Zhou Yang first put all the dog's personal items into the storage space.

The little yellow dog was lying in its cage when it saw the object in front of it suddenly disappear. Startled, it immediately sat up and barked twice at the spot where the object had vanished.

"Little thing, you're quite alert. You'll be following me from now on. I hope that when the apocalypse comes, you'll become a mutant dog instead of a zombie dog..."

Zhou Yang gently patted the little yellow dog's head and stroked its fur to soothe it, and the little yellow dog immediately calmed down again.

"Let's name you Pea. With your skin tone, it'll be just like a plate of pea flour cake."

The pea seemed quite pleased with its name, wagging its short tail happily, at one point twisting it into a pretzel shape.

Bai Jishan's house is basically finished with renovations, with only a few finishing touches left. Once Zhou Yang gets back, it will be ready for inspection.

So, taking advantage of the fact that it was still the day before the May Day holiday and the highways weren't congested yet, Zhou Yang took Wandou and set off for Baiji Mountain.

Halfway there, we even took Pea to what is said to be the most luxurious service area in the country for a stroll, and also experienced a speedboat ride.

Speedboats are pretty good, but they seem to consume a lot of fuel. However, I might consider buying one for free after the apocalypse. Of course, inflatable boats would also work.

When we arrived at Baiji, it was just past midnight, just as the May Day holiday was about to begin.

It's only May Day, but the temperature feels like summer, with the temperature around 25 degrees Celsius at midnight.

After driving all day, he was tired and too lazy to go to the city to find a hotel, so he parked in a deserted place and took Pea into his space to sleep.

In the past two days, Pea has been inside the space twice. At first, she was quite scared, but after finding it safe, she curiously wandered around with her broken leg. Now she knows how to find her doghouse and crawls inside to sleep.

The next day, before dawn, the man and his dog ate and drank their fill in the space and then left.

Zhou Yang didn't rush to look at houses, but first rented a warehouse near the community.

Then, under the pretext of opening a small supermarket, they directly purchased supplies from different manufacturers.

Rice, flour, rice noodles, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, beverages, mineral water, bread, biscuits, instant noodles, sausages, hot pot and barbecue seasonings, all kinds of candy and snacks...

There are also various daily necessities, skin care products, nutritional supplements, health products, etc., but these can only be obtained through distributors.

After placing each order and arranging delivery times to ensure that they were all staggered, Zhou Yang went back to look at the house.

Last time I only had a quick look at the house, but this time I looked around carefully and realized that the area is very large.

Besides the resort area at the foot of the mountain and Baiji Mountain Villa where he rented a house, there is a wildlife park and amusement park to the south, and a botanical garden and museum under construction to the east.

Today is the first day of the May Day holiday, and the area is full of tourists. Zhou Yang glanced around briefly and then returned to Baiji Mountain Villa.

Find the building where you rent, park your car, and go up to the 18th floor.

The door was wide open, so the renovation workers probably hadn't left yet. Zhou Yang went inside without taking out his keys.

Upon entering, the room was bright and clean, with plain curtains and minimalist white walls making the whole house look more spacious; it was no longer the bare, unfinished house it once was.

In the living room, two renovation workers were doing the final cleaning work, and they were almost finished.

He had spoken with the designer on the phone before he arrived, so the designer is here now, checking the details.

I went over and greeted the people, then began the inspection of the house.

From the front door to the open kitchen, then to the bedroom, walk-in closet, balcony, and living room, Zhou Yang is very satisfied with the renovation results.

The safety of the entire house fully met his requirements, and even exceeded his expectations in some aspects; it was practically comparable to a safe house.

The entrance has three layers of doors: a security door, a regular iron door, and an explosion-proof door. All the windows are custom-made double-layered bulletproof glass, which gives you a great sense of security just by looking at them.

The soundproofing is also very well done; once the doors and windows are closed, you can't hear any noise from outside.

The insulation and heat retention should be pretty good too. After drawing all the curtains, turning on the central air conditioning to cool it down and then turning it off, the cold air didn't escape very quickly.

After Zhou Yang inspected the property, he immediately paid the remaining balance.
