Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Shen Zechuan looked at the two main characters, who were both very satisfied with their names, and silently swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Then, after patting the pea's head, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

Pea, you are still number one in your master's heart, and your name is the best proof of that!

Now that Xiao Hu had made it clear to Shen Zechuan, Zhou Yang decided not to delay any longer.

The two quietly arrived at the town government's wall, then sneaked in from the north side of the office building and successfully reached the bottom of the building.

Considering there was a level three psychic ability user above them, the two did not rush up.

He simply moved the little tiger into the flower bed in front of him, and then took out a basin of spring water and poured it on top.

The originally small ivy suddenly grew dozens of times larger and then quickly spread outwards, invading the office building in just a few breaths.

"Aren't there psychic abilities up there? Won't it be alright for Xiaohu to surround them like this? Won't they be discovered? Or will they suspect an ambush?"

"Human mental power cannot perceive the mental fluctuations of plants. They are like two parallel systems, not interfering with each other. At most, he can sense that there are plants nearby, but there are already many plants here, how can he distinguish them?"

Besides, the town government has done a good job with landscaping; there are green plants everywhere and shady trees, so what's so strange about a mutated plant suddenly appearing?

"Alright. Shall we wait here?"

"Okay, let Xiaohu kill as many as he can first. If any escape, we can catch them off guard."

Following Zhou Yang's instructions, Xiao Hu sprouted a large number of vines and sneaked into the office building, successfully arriving at the door of the room where the gang leader and his men were resting.

Inside the door, the second brother was lying in a daze when he suddenly sensed something approaching the outer door, but he couldn't detect any spiritual fluctuations. So he mustered his strength and called over the third brother who was not far away.

"Third brother, I feel something coming from outside the door, but I can't sense any spiritual energy. Take some people and go check it out. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, the third brother immediately took it to heart, and then led one of his men to the door to take a look.

The office door has a transparent glass panel, making it easy to see what's outside.

However, Xiao Hu climbed up close to the ground and the corner of the wall, which happened to be in a blind spot, so Lao San and his men did not see anything.

"There's nothing there. Second brother, are you too tired? Why don't you eat something, absorb some more crystal cores, and then take a nap? That way you'll recover faster."

Upon hearing this, the second brother also felt that it might be a side effect of his exhaustion, and his heart relaxed: "I still can't eat, so I'll take a nap first. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay! You can sleep soundly, I'll keep an eye on you," the third brother replied, eating his porridge.

However, before he could finish speaking, the door broke down and fell to the ground.

Outside the door, vines as thick as an adult's arm surged in, wrapping around the people inside before they even had a chance to react.

"Damn it! Mutant plant! Second brother, run!"

The third brother was so frightened that he threw down his rice bowl and tried to pull the second brother up from the ground.

However, the vines wrapped around the second son's feet even faster than he could.

"Use your superpowers to cut!" the second brother weakly commanded the third brother.

The third brother then remembered his metal ability and quickly cut the vines.

The two men helped each other back to the gang leader's side, but the henchman who was supposed to be covering their retreat was dragged away by vines and strangled to death right in front of them.

"Ah Rong, let's set fire together!"

The gang leader called on another fire-type ability user to set the fire with him, while the others helped restrain the vines.

However, Zhou Yang would occasionally bring Xiao Hu a basin of spring water from underground, causing Xiao Hu to have excessive energy, and the vines grew wildly as if they were free.

Seeing that they couldn't burn or cut down the vines, and that the vines were getting thicker and thicker, while he was exhausted, the gang leader immediately decided to find a way to retreat.

But after looking around, the only way out was through the window behind them, so they gritted their teeth and said, "Let's jump out the window!"

Others hesitated. Even if it was only the second floor, there was no cushioning below. If they went down, they would likely suffer fractures, or worse, be paralyzed or even die...

But if they don't jump, they won't be able to deal with this mutated plant in front of them.

While the group hesitated, Ah Rong, who was a level one fire elementalist, was exhausted from setting off the fire too fiercely. He stumbled and was caught by the vines, who dragged him into their embrace. He disappeared in an instant, leaving only a scream before falling silent.

Seeing this, the others no longer hesitated and retreated to the window.

"A-Qian, you go first. You're a space-type user, so throw a few blankets on the ground before you jump."

"Row!"

Ah Qian was the first to jump down. Although there was a blanket underneath him, he still injured his calf.

After the gang leader and the third brother followed behind, the others jumped down like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Unfortunately, when it was the third brother's turn, he was caught by a vine and thrown out, landing quite far away. He landed headfirst, fracturing his cervical spine and dying instantly.

There were 10 people when they escaped from the base in the morning, but in the blink of an eye, there were only 6 left.

The old man's face darkened, but he couldn't risk his life against the mutated plant right now. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's retreat first!"

Unfortunately, Zhou Yang wouldn't let them leave so easily.

Little Tiger sprouted new vines once more, quickly caught up, and dragged A-Qian, who was walking at the back, away.

The gang leader could no longer let this go unchecked; all their supplies were on A-Qian, and they couldn't let him die.

So, the group followed the vines and headed towards Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan.

Once they were close enough, Zhou Yang had Xiao Hu lead them eastward, so that they would be facing away from Zhou Yang and the others.

Then the pea was made to grow bigger, and the big and small yellow peas immediately became invisible and sat on the pea's head, each targeting one pea as Zhou Yang instructed.

Shen Zechuan was also ready to do the cleanup work whenever needed.

At Zhou Yang's command, the pea, comparable to a level 4 pea, breathed fire at the gang leader, who didn't even have time to react before becoming a human torch.

The two yellow dogs, big and small, spotted their target and jumped down, biting its neck. The one bitten by the small yellow dog was alright; it died quickly from the poison. The two large yellow dogs, however, bit a large hole in the neck and agonized for two minutes before dying.

In the end, only the scarred man remained, with no one left to deal with him.

After dealing with all the other miscellaneous matters, Zhou Yang, carrying a crossbow, and Shen Zechuan emerged from the shadows together.

Upon seeing Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan, the scarred man immediately recognized them. After all, their Hidden Dragon Squad was quite famous in the base, and he knew they were there to hunt them down.

With mutated plants in front and pursuers behind, the scarred man figured he was going to die either way, so he decided to give up on running.

"You're really going all out to hunt us down, even ignoring the mutated plants here?"

"Of course we'll intervene! My little tiger went to great lengths to kill you all. Little tiger, come back!"

Zhou Yang chuckled and then beckoned Xiao Hu back with a wave of his hand.

When Little Tiger heard its owner call it back, it was overjoyed. Branch, not forgetting to drag the half-dead space ability user along, happily ran back.

"Hey, just throw this trash away! It's tiring to drag it around. Come on, throw it away now."

Little Tiger then shook the vine, dropping the two-legged beast hanging on it, and then slowly retracted the vine, returning to its original small form.

The scarred man was stunned for a moment before he realized that Zhou Yang also had plant-based abilities. He immediately felt that their escape was a joke.

"I thought we were the only ones holding back, but it turns out you guys were too, no, probably more than one. Anyway, I can't beat you all, so fight or kill me as you please!"

Without wasting any words, Zhou Yang picked up the crossbow and shot it directly at the scarred man's head.

Watching the scarred man fall straight down, Zhou Yang instantly felt as if a small corner of the heavy stone weighing on his heart had been pried off.

Tsk, I wonder if the rest of them are still in the base from my past life. I'll find a chance to go there sometime.
