Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

When Yan Fei returned, it was already past 9 p.m.

Everyone except Gu Yaoyao, who had already been coaxed to sleep, stayed up and waited for Yan Fei to come back so they could gossip together.

Lu Xingye, always eager for gossip, rushed up to Yan Fei the moment he saw him and grabbed Yan Fei's arm, asking, "How is it? What's the result?"

Yan Fei pulled Lu Xingye's arm and made him sit down next to him before saying:

"It won't be that quick. After the apocalypse, many things will have to be judged by sight. The base's surveillance is all broken, so it won't be easy to catch the murderer now. However, we have some initial suspicions. The deaths of those bodies are similar; they were all sexually assaulted and tortured to death, but the methods used were different. It's estimated that it wasn't the same person who committed the crimes, but rather an organized group of people. My uncle is very angry right now and has ordered a thorough investigation throughout the entire base."

"And I only found out after I went to see all the bodies that we actually knew two of the dead."

The group looked over upon hearing this: "???"

"Besides the lady of the house upstairs, who else lives in this building?"

"No, do you remember the two survivors we rescued from the supermarket last time? The woman who was disemboweled is that woman."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang was shocked: "Hiss! What was her name again? Meng You? Wasn't she pregnant? So, cutting open her abdomen...didn't that mean they dug the baby out? Holy crap! This isn't just simple torture, this has to be a psychopath!"

Although Meng You's character wasn't great, Zhou Yang was still caught off guard by her sudden and tragic death.

"Yes, that's her. The initial autopsy by the military doctors revealed that her uterus was cut open while she was still alive, and there should have been a fully formed baby inside..."

Upon hearing this, Chai Jin immediately began cursing: "Damn it! Even if we caught these perverted bastards and crushed them to ashes, it wouldn't be enough!"

"I remember she had a boyfriend, right? Why did she go to the west side of the neighborhood? And the woman upstairs too, I remember her family was quite wealthy... It's so strange."

Zhou Yang couldn't understand how these two could be tortured to death. It was one thing for Meng You to have a messy private life, but the lady of the house upstairs was just an ordinary housewife.

"I don't know. After I told my uncle about the identities of these two women, he sent people to bring back the people from the upstairs family and Meng You's boyfriend for questioning. I don't know the results yet. I'll go ask again tomorrow."

The next day, right after lunch, urged on by the gossipy curiosity of the others, Yan Fei went to see Gu Tianqi at the military headquarters once again.

Yan Fei didn't return until almost dinnertime.

It turned out that after asking him about the results of the military's interrogation, he also participated in the arrest operation.

This made everyone even more curious.

If Gu Yaoyao hadn't been sitting here, she probably wouldn't have waited for dinner and would have urged Yan Fei to tell her the details.

After finishing their meal, the group finally managed to coax Gu Yaoyao to sleep, and immediately pulled Yan Fei aside to ask about the results of today's interrogation.

The woman upstairs is named Li Ping. She married into the family from another place and is a housewife.

Her husband was a businessman who owned several chain supermarkets before the apocalypse, so he had a lot of supplies after the apocalypse. After buying a house in the base, he exchanged a lot of the supplies he didn't need for points.

With a large number of points and plenty of food in hand, he should be a wealthy household. Even if he doesn't go out to collect resources, he won't have to worry about food and clothing.

Unfortunately, this person flaunted his wealth and became a target.

Once, while strolling around the trading market, someone approached him and introduced him to an underground entertainment venue in the neighboring community.

This man was also carefree. In addition, he was a womanizer before the apocalypse. Now, relying on his abundant resources and points, he spent his days eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. Before long, he had spent all his resources and even owed a lot of points.

After the extreme cold subsided, those people came to collect their debts. Seeing that the man couldn't produce any points, they set their sights on his wife, intending to use her as collateral. Seeing that she could be used to pay off the debt, the man sold his wife without hesitation.

The last time Gu Yaoyao was scared to tears, it was because these people came to his door to collect debts and wanted to take his wife away. His wife refused, so she smashed things and cursed loudly.

Fearing that things would get too out of hand, those people knocked the woman unconscious, threatened the man for a while, and then left when things calmed down.

Unlike Li Ping, Meng You wasn't sold; instead, she ran off with a man with supernatural abilities after discovering her boyfriend couldn't support her.

But that man didn't really like Meng You. He just heard that she was pregnant and wanted to experience what it was like to be pregnant, so he lied and said he loved her and was willing to take care of her and her child.

Meng You actually believed such a blatant lie.

Unfortunately, after the man had his fun, he sold her to that underground entertainment venue.

People speculate that after Meng You was sold into the underground, she was forced to entertain men with special fetishes, and in the end, she was used by a pervert and then had her stomach cut open.

The identities of the other victims were also found after comparing their information with that of the survivors. However, they were either alone or had been sold by their families, so no one came to the base to report the crime.

This is why the base never discovered this underground organization.

The so-called underground entertainment venues were actually just several interconnected basements around the underground elevator shaft, which were occupied by that group and turned into venues for prostitution and gambling.

After obtaining general information about a group of people from several families involved in the trafficking of women, the military immediately identified the group from the survivor information.

But when the military located the registered address, the entire group had been murdered. Inside the room, they found two women who had been tortured beyond recognition, their necks broken.

Yan Fei also went to the scene and immediately saw that those people were just low-level thugs who would be silenced as soon as something happened. Their methods were skillful, clean, and efficient, clearly the style of a gangster.

When he told Gu Tianqi about it, they both agreed that there must be another group of masterminds behind the scenes.

After comparing the data of everyone in the base, they identified a special ability team that had been behaving somewhat unusually.

Coincidentally, all of these people were rescued from the same neighborhood where Shen Zechuan had previously lived.

Yan Fei strongly suspected that these people were members of the gang that had previously occupied the neighborhood, but they were probably hiding very well, and even the people in the neighborhood had never seen them.

That's why they were able to disguise themselves as ordinary survivors and hide in the base for so long when the army rescued them.

Having identified a suspect, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, Gu Tianqi planned to launch a surprise attack on the target villa at 4 a.m. tonight.

At the end of his speech, Yan Fei also took the opportunity to tell the others that he wanted to go and help.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingye was the first to object.

"Why are you going alone again? No way!"

"Aye, I'm still a soldier, I have to go."

"Hmph! Either you take us with you, or you're not allowed to go at all!"

"If you all go, what will happen to Yao Yao?"

"Yaoyao should stay at home. Let Pea and Little Yellow keep her company, isn't that enough? Besides, the villa you mentioned is in the same villa area where we used to live, it's not that far away, we can come back right away if anything goes wrong."

"Is it okay?!" The last three words were spoken by Lu Xingye while pinching the flesh on Yan Fei's inner thigh.

"Ouch, be gentle! Okay, okay, okay."
