Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Shen Zechuan and his companions could sense that these zombies were not of a higher level than themselves, and for a moment they felt insulted, so they immediately gave chase.

Finally, around a corner, I spotted the zombies.

The drenched zombie grabbed one of the zombies, burned its head to charcoal with a burst of fire, and then casually pulled out its crystal core, threw it into its mouth, before turning to face the other two zombies.

For some reason, Zhou Yang and his companions somehow managed to see a deep-seated hatred in the drenched zombie.

The group didn't rush to make a move. After the drenched chicken finished dealing with the zombies and was eating the last crystal core, Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei exchanged a glance and made their move together.

A bolt of lightning and a throwing knife struck the zombie's head simultaneously.

"Boom!" "Pfft!"

With two loud thuds, the zombie's head exploded and it collapsed to the ground, its eyes not even having a chance to close.

It's possible that its simple mind hasn't even figured out how it got its head split open.

Shen Zechuan stepped forward and picked up the crystal core from the ground.

Upon closer inspection, wow, a level 4 fire-type crystal core!

It seems they were quite lucky. This zombie probably ate the crystal cores of three level 3 zombies and leveled up, which allowed them to snatch it up from behind.

"I'm pretty lucky. I got a level 4 fire-type weapon so easily."

"It's a pity that Brother Zhiyi didn't come out today, otherwise he could have leveled up to level 4 immediately."

"Giving it back to him is the same. Let's go find some other zombies!"

After Zhou Yang put away the crystal core, the group continued searching for traces of zombies in other departments on the second floor, but after going around in circles, they returned to the entrance of the internal medicine department.

Just as the group thought there were no other zombies on the second floor and were about to head to the third floor, a loud bang came from the direction of the internal medicine clinic.

Zhou Yang and the others exchanged glances and then returned to the internal medicine department, gradually moving closer inside.

They searched through each clinic room and finally found several zombies fighting in the rest area at the back.

It's not quite accurate to call it a fight; it's more accurate to say that a clearly more powerful zombie was dominating several other zombies, with one of them occasionally releasing electric currents from its hand.

This zombie actually has lightning-based superpowers!

This really excited the group, especially Shen Zechuan.

To be honest, they had never seen a zombie with lightning-type abilities before; this was the first one.

It's a pity that this zombie only seems to be level 3...

Yan Fei said with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that this lightning-type zombie hasn't reached level three yet. Even if we capture it, Zechuan won't be able to use it to level up... It's a bit of a shame."

Shen Zechuan nodded in agreement: "It is a bit of a pity, but I think it should be close to level 4. How about we let it eat a few crystal cores to level up? Aren't zombies supposed to not level up?"

“I think it’s a good idea. Let’s wait until they finish fighting. If they still haven’t leveled up, we can lend a hand and feed them some level 3 crystal cores to help them reach level 4 before harvesting them.” Zhou Yang agreed, as the probability of encountering a lightning-type zombie is not high.

"Row."

Perhaps the zombies were too focused on fighting and didn't notice Zhou Yang and the others.

Crouching in the corner, I watched as the lightning-type zombies suppressed a few others and dug out their crystal cores, while the others fought back fiercely out of their instinct to survive.

However, although they were all level 3 zombies with superpowers, the lightning-type zombie was clearly close to breaking through. In addition, the lightning-type superpower suppressed other superpowers, which ultimately led to the other zombies being defeated quickly and having their crystal cores extracted one after another.

After the lightning-type zombies finished consuming several level 3 crystal cores, they were already showing signs of being ready to level up.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, it seems that it hasn't gone up again.

Helpless, Zhou Yang had no choice but to throw out a few more level 3 crystal cores, which rolled all the way to the feet of the lightning-type zombies. At the same time, he told Shen Zechuan, Yan Fei, and Wandou to be ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.

Seeing the crystal core rolling over inexplicably, the lightning-type zombie tilted its head and looked at it, somewhat puzzled as to where it came from. However, driven by its instinct to become stronger, it immediately picked it up and put it in its mouth.

As the lightning-type zombie roared due to the surge of energy within its body, the two people and the dog attacked simultaneously.

Unlike the level 4 fire-type zombie they had just killed, which was purely by luck, this time they were facing a level 4 lightning-type zombie, so neither of them held back.

A thunder dragon, several centimeters in diameter, and a metal bone spike several tens of centimeters long, hurtled straight at the head of the thunder-type zombie.

Just in case, Zhou Yang also instructed Wandou to do her best. So, in addition to the Thunder Dragon and the Metal Bone Spikes, a fire snake as thick as a bucket rushed straight towards the zombies. It arrived at the battlefield even faster than the former two, directly enveloping the lightning-type zombies into a human-shaped pillar of fire.

The lightning-type zombie, seeing itself on fire, tried to retaliate with lightning, but instead of blasting itself away, it was also killed when Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei's attacks arrived.

I thought there was going to be a fierce battle, but the level 4 lightning type was dealt with so easily, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, the peas played a crucial role in this, and through this experience, everyone gained a new understanding of the peas' fighting power.

Zhou Yang himself was stunned for a long time.

He had initially estimated the pea's strength to be around level 4 among humans, but now it seems it might even be level 5.

That makes sense, though. Pea has been drinking spring water with him all the time. Judging from the way Big Yellow, Little Yellow, and Tiger are, the spring water is even more effective than the crystal cores. Plus, Pea eats crystal cores like he's eating plain rice, and he's never full. No wonder he's strong.

Zhou Yang was overjoyed after thinking it over, and he hugged Wandou's neck, showering her with praise. He had originally planned to raise Wandou into the strongest mutated beast in the apocalypse, and now he saw hope.

The others also praised Pea, making Pea blush and bury her head in Zhou Yang's arms, but her tail was still held high and swishing rapidly.

After laughing and joking around for a while, the group dug out the crystal core of the lightning-type zombie and also picked up the few level 3 crystal cores that the zombie hadn't finished eating.

After checking the surroundings and confirming that there were no other zombies, the group took the level 4 lightning crystal core from Shen Zechuan and upgraded their character on the spot.

The others were responsible for guarding.

As the energy of the crystal core was absorbed little by little, after more than ten minutes, Shen Zechuan suddenly felt the energy that had accumulated to the extreme in his body begin to surge and rage. Every vein in his body ached as if it was about to break. He gritted his teeth and held on so that he wouldn't cry out.

Finally, after a long time, the energy in his body returned to calm, and he could clearly feel that the energy he could store in his body had more than doubled.

When he opened his eyes again, he instantly felt that the world had become clearer, and he could even clearly feel the difference between Yan Fei and the others.

He frowned when he saw Zhou Yang and the little girl he was holding. He couldn't discern any level from either of them. He could understand if the little girl was stronger than him. But what about Zhou Yang? He shouldn't be stronger than him. Could it be that Zhou Yang's spatial ability was special, making him undetectable?

Shen Zechuan couldn't figure it out for a moment, and simply assumed that Zhou Yang's spatial ability had a shielding attribute.

Seeing that Shen Zechuan didn't speak after opening his eyes, Yan Fei thought there was something wrong with his leveling up, so he quickly asked, "How are you? Did you level up successfully? I can't seem to sense your level anymore."

"Yes, I've leveled up." When Yan Fei asked him, Shen Zechuan quickly composed himself and put on a smiling face. "You can't sense me, but I can easily sense your level. The difference between us now is not just a little bit."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't be so smug. It's easier for me to level up than for you. After all, there are more metal zombies than lightning zombies."

Shen Zechuan: “…”
