Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Upon entering, Shen Zechuan immediately set up an electric grid, maximizing its energy to prevent any accidents.

Several zombies were caught off guard and were immediately paralyzed by the electric shock.

Because of the excessive amount of metal on its body, the metal zombie received a greater electrical shock than the other zombies, and was quickly turned into a metal specimen, with its body crackling from the electricity.

Taking advantage of the fact that the zombies were temporarily paralyzed, Zhou Yang immediately released the ivy branches to tie up several level-four zombies before going over with Shen Zechuan, Chai Jin, and Lu Xingye to kill the zombies.

However, ordinary knives couldn't cut through the skull of this level four zombie. Zhou Yang and Lu Xingye were practically just tickling the zombie. Only Chai Jin, with his great strength, managed to cut a few inches. In the end, it was Shen Zechuan who used lightning to split it open.

The group was huffing and puffing as they hacked at the level four zombies.

The metal zombie took a while to recover before realizing it had been ambushed. Moreover, the few level-four food rations it had painstakingly raised had been stolen by a few humans. It roared in anger, but damn it, its body still couldn't move.

After it finally got through the paralyzed period of being unable to move, just as it was about to tear a few people apart, it found a strange thing lying on the ground in front of it.

The metal zombie tilted its head, momentarily stunned, then suddenly became excited. It sensed that the other creature seemed very strong, and that by consuming it, it could become even stronger.

So they immediately abandoned the living people and food, focusing all their attention on the four-legged thing, so much so that they didn't even notice that there was a level 3 human of the same metal type next to them.

While the metal zombie was pondering where to start its attack, the pea on the other side couldn't wait any longer.

It glanced at the hard, ugly thing in front of it, and remembering its master's words, it breathed a mouthful of fire at it as soon as it stood still.

The zombie's metal shell immediately became scorching hot under the intense heat of the supernatural fire. The zombie's body inside quickly melted and charred under the high temperature, emitting a burnt smell.

Even if the metal zombie wanted to metallize its skin, it had to stop because the high temperature was too unbearable.

Therefore, the only option for the metal zombie is to abandon its shell and escape.

Realizing this, the metal zombie decisively retreated, throwing off its metal shell as it went.

This saved Yan Fei the trouble of stealing the metal.

Without the metal shell, the zombie was immediately reduced to a thin, frail body, which looked like a bald old man in his previous life.

Pea remembered Zhou Yang's words: if the zombies didn't die, they would die. So how could they let the zombies go? As soon as the metal zombie escaped, they immediately chased after it and finally forced it into a dead end at the end of the ward.

Yan Fei leisurely followed behind Wandou, picking up metal and rolling it into balls as they went.

In his twenty-five years of life, this was the first time he had experienced the feeling of getting something for nothing, and it was quite satisfying. Only today did he begin to understand the longing Ah Ye felt for Wandou every day, because at this moment he also envied Zhou Yang for having a mutant dog like Wandou.

The metal zombie had nowhere to retreat and could only grit its teeth and face Pea head-on. However, it didn't have much metal left, so all it could do was turn itself into a metal being to make it more resilient. But all of this became extremely vulnerable in the face of Pea's supernatural fire power.

The excessively high temperature caused the metal to melt rapidly, and the metallized skin also dissolved along with it, quickly turning into a pool of molten metal on the ground.

Yan Fei, seizing the opportunity, saw the metallization on the metal zombie's head fade and immediately used a bayonet that had been conjured beforehand to shoot at the metal zombie, piercing it directly into its brain.

As the bayonet pierced his brain, the metal zombie lost its life force. Without the boost from its superpowers, and with the added power of Pea's fire ability, it was instantly burned to a crisp.

Seeing that the metal zombie lay motionless on the ground, Pea turned off the fire, flicked its mouth which was burning hot from the flames, and then wagged its tail and went back to find its owner.

They're still animals after all; they don't care about good things and only want to go back to their owners to be pampered.

Yan Fei shook his head and smiled, then bent down and dug a golden crystal core out of the zombie's brain. Its purity was far superior to that of a level three crystal core, and he could even sense that the energy inside was purer than that of the previous level four fire and lightning crystal cores.

This must be a level 5 zombie crystal core.

But if that happens, the peas... tsk, it's terrifying to think about.

When we get back, we should tell Xu Zhiyi to be more sensible and stop comparing himself to Wandou all the time. What if Wandou feels insulted one day and burns him to a crisp? All of them together might not even be able to beat a dog.

Pea didn't have as many thoughts as Yan Fei was having; all it could think about right now was asking its owner for water. It had just exhausted its energy burning zombies, and now its mouth was burning hot, its body even hotter, and it needed lots of water to cool down.

So as soon as Pea found Zhou Yang, she bit her owner's clothes and wouldn't let go.

Zhou Yang was busy fighting a level four ordinary zombie with Chai Jin when he was suddenly bitten on the clothes, which startled him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he turned around and saw that it was Wandou, but was then extremely surprised.

"Kid! Why are you back? Where's Yan Fei? Did you guys finish off the metal zombies?!"

However, Pea was feeling unwell and kept biting Zhou Yang's clothes, whimpering.

This terrified Zhou Yang. He thought Pea was injured, and he didn't care about the level 4 zombie that was tied up. He quickly touched Pea to check her up and down, but he was shocked when he touched Pea's body.

The peas were very hot, just like when a person has a high fever.

Zhou Yang was at a loss. He immediately took out a basin of spring water from his space, put it on the ground, and then turned around to look for suitable medicine in his space. Just when he was feeling overwhelmed, he saw that Wandou had let go of him and was drinking the spring water.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang felt a little relieved. Seeing that it was almost finished drinking, he quickly refilled it and also took out a lot of crystal cores for the pea to eat.

At this moment, Yan Fei, who had picked up the crystal core, also came back. Seeing that the pea was drinking water, he didn't think much of it.

"Your pea is amazing. It took down a level 5 metal zombie all by itself."

Zhou Yang smiled upon hearing this. He had no mind to think about anything else right now; he just wanted to make sure that Wandou was alright. He had originally thought that Wandou would be a little tired like Shen Zechuan and the others due to overexertion of her powers, but he hadn't expected her to have a fever, so he was a little worried.

At this moment, Shen Zechuan and the others also came over after dealing with the last two level 4 zombies.

"How did it go? Did it go smoothly? What level did you get?"

“Level 5. Here you go.” Yan Fei said, handing over the crystal core in his hand.

Shen Zechuan glanced at it and nodded, saying, "It is indeed level 5. However, among the level 4 zombies we fought, there was also a level 4 metal zombie. You can use the level 4 crystal core to upgrade first, and you can use the level 5 one when you upgrade to level 5." After saying that, he picked out one of the crystal cores from his hand and handed it to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei was delighted upon hearing this. Without any hesitation, he took the crystal core, found a clean open space, sat down, and began preparing to upgrade.

Shen Zechuan and the others sat around, waiting quietly.

Lu Xingye stared at Yan Fei without blinking, afraid that something might happen to him.

Zhou Yang sat quietly to the side and waited, while adding water to the peas' bowl. After the peas had drunk dozens of bowls of water, they slowly stopped drinking and he stopped adding water.
