Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After seeing off the decorator and designer, Zhou Yang cleaned the house again before taking out the furniture.

However, he only displayed the items that would be used in the master bedroom, living room, dining room, and kitchen; the rest were left empty.

Then he took Pea, along with his eating and sleeping utensils, out of the space and placed them in a corner of the living room.

When the pea came out, it found itself in a new environment and happily began to inspect its new territory, carrying its broken leg.

Fearing it might secretly draw maps in its new home, Zhou Yang followed behind, keeping an eye on it. Although it had been scolded by him before for drawing maps in the space, and even had its dog food dumped on the maps he drew, leaving it hungry if it didn't finish them.

The peas refused to eat, and the child went hungry for a whole day.

From then on, the pea learned its lesson: drawing maps meant getting scolded and going hungry.

After watching the peas for a while to make sure they wouldn't draw maps in the new house, Zhou Yang returned to the living room, took out formaldehyde remover and various charcoal bags, and placed them in every corner of the house. Although he had chosen environmentally friendly renovations, he still wanted to remove the formaldehyde again for peace of mind.

Next, he took out the solar power system from the space. He had ordered it from a manufacturer in Dongguang, and in order to wait for its delivery and learn how to install and use it, he had spent several extra days in Dongguang. Fortunately, he had learned how.

We ordered two sets at the time. Both were commercial-grade capacity, capable of supporting high-power appliances.

He had already stored one set in his spatial storage. This other set was for use at home here.

The installation was basically completed a long time ago. Now all we need to do is fix the solar panels to the south-facing balcony, connect the wiring for the data board, energy storage box, etc., and then do some debugging, and it will be finished.

When the power goes out in the apocalypse, just connect the power storage box to the house wiring.

After finishing all that, Zhou Yang was finally able to rest, collapsing onto the beanbag chair, not wanting to move.

After visiting the new house, Pea returned to the living room and saw its owner lying on the sofa. It snuggled over, snuggled up to Zhou Yang's feet, and rested its head on his ankles.

"Tsk, you sure know how to find a place to lie down," Zhou Yang said, swinging his leg slightly.

I glanced at the time again and realized it was past lunchtime.

Zhou Yang stretched and stood up. He poured a bowl of dog food for Wandou first, then took out a meal for himself and opened his tablet to watch a variety show while eating.

The man and the dog focused on cooking and finished their meal quickly.

After dinner, Zhou Yang remembered that Pea's dog food was running low, so he went online and found a dog food brand with good reviews that wasn't too expensive. He ordered 100 of the largest 10-kilogram brand in one go.

Then, thinking about the problem of going to the toilet by myself after the water was cut off in the apocalypse, I ordered a toilet seat for pregnant women, garbage bags, and the cheapest cat litter.

But after the apocalypse, will Pea have to learn to use the litter box? Or... should she start learning now?

Zhou Yang watched as Wandou began to think, and his focused expression startled Wandou, who immediately tucked her tail between her legs.

However, if peas also need cat litter, the cost would be too high. Why not just use sand?

After considering the feasibility, Zhou Yang directly found a sand and gravel plant and ordered more than ten tons of sand.

It's enough for him and his dog to last forever.

Thinking this, Zhou Yang quickly returned the cat litter she had bought and then ordered several extra-large litter boxes and the largest garbage bags for Wandou to use.

I'll put a garbage bag over the litter box, so I won't have to scoop the litter myself. I'll just pack it up after each use and put it in the corner of the space, then throw it away when I go out.

To prevent odor, Zhou Yang also ordered a large quantity of deodorizers.

It was almost afternoon, and the weather was getting even hotter and more humid.

It's almost 35 degrees Celsius outside.

However, tourists still flocked to the area in droves.

Zhou Yang couldn't take it anymore, so she got up and went back to the master bedroom, turned on the air conditioner, and was about to take a nap.

Pea, carrying her little blanket, followed behind to enjoy the cool air conditioning.

The man and his dog drifted off to sleep, accompanied by the sound of the air conditioner running.

Then comes the May Day holiday.

A mini-peak in tourism is sweeping across the country.

The Baijishan Tourist Resort also saw a surge in visitors.

People seemed completely unconcerned about the unusually high temperatures and remained enthusiastic.

May Day is a five-day holiday.

Zhou Yang chose to stay at home for five days, occasionally ordering supplies by phone to get things that had been missed, such as gas cylinders and coal.

During this period, he had to go out twice to receive the goods.

The temperature and the sun outside are unbearable. It's only early May, and it's already around 35 degrees Celsius every day.

However, when Zhou Yang thought about how the temperature would rise to 40 degrees, 50 degrees, or even higher, he felt that the current temperature was acceptable.

After the holiday, many tourists returned to their hometowns, and went back to work or school.

While everyone was unaware, this heat wave began to sweep across various regions.

Everyone initially thought the May Day heatwave was just temporary, due to the passing of a warm front, as experts had predicted. However, another week has passed, and the temperature hasn't dropped at all; in fact, it's been rising even higher.

Online netizens are discussing the issue extensively, but experts have not provided a definitive answer, and even the National Meteorological Administration has not given a specific explanation.

Days passed by, and before we knew it, it was mid-to-late May.

The outside temperature has gradually climbed to 40 degrees Celsius.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang had already received all the packages and supplies he had purchased, so he didn't need to go out anymore.

Every day, he would use his feet to pedal a generator at home to generate electricity, which he considered a form of exercise and also stored as electricity.

The chickens, ducks, and geese in the space have all grown up and started laying eggs the day before yesterday. They've accumulated quite a lot of eggs by now.

The two female rabbits have recently become pregnant, their bellies are swollen, and they are probably about to give birth.

The piglets are growing rapidly, and with a little more care, they'll be as big as adult pigs.

The fruit trees were all half-grown, and Zhou Yang would prune the thin branches at the bottom of the trees from time to time in order to make them grow taller.

The vegetables grew the fastest, and of course, several harvests were already done. Zhou Yang stored them in the cellar to eat slowly later.

After completing today's foot-powered electricity generation, Zhou Yang was covered in sweat and quickly took a shower.

After taking a shower, feeling refreshed, Zhou Yang sat cross-legged on the sofa, turned on his computer, and browsed the latest news online.

These are mostly incidents caused by various high temperatures.

His situation is relatively better; in the central region, it's still bearable. However, in many southern cities, temperatures have exceeded 45 degrees Celsius, with some reaching over 50 degrees. Many elderly people and children with weaker constitutions have died from heatstroke.

In all areas where temperatures exceed 40 degrees Celsius, schools have suspended classes, and students are taking online classes at home. Many businesses and institutions are also implementing work-from-home arrangements. Factories are also trying to implement shift work, with employees resting during the day and producing at night.

Seeing that there was no other major news, Zhou Yang closed the webpage.

I went to the kitchen, took out three ice makers, filled them with water, and started making ice.

Once the ice box is full, we'll store it all in our storage space for use after the apocalypse. A cold drink on an extremely hot day is just so refreshing.

Two machines are used to make regular ice cubes, and Zhou Yang plans to use another machine to make fruit ice cubes with frozen fruit inside, following online videos.

Although it was a bit of a hassle, he had nothing else to do anyway, so he just used it to pass the time.

I took a bag of yellow and green lemons, cut them into coin-sized pieces, and then put them one by one into the small compartments. Then I quickly made ice, and a plate of fruit ice cubes was ready.

Then he made ice cubes in various fruit flavors; he tried everything he could find in the space.

The final results were all pretty good.
