Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After confirming that Pea was alright, the group first took Pea home, ate something to fill their stomachs, and then went to the service center to hand over the medical supplies they had brought back to the base in exchange for a large number of points.

For the next two days, Zhou Yang voluntarily took on the responsibility of minding the shop and stayed at the base. He only took Gu Yaoyao to look after the shop in the morning and afternoon each day, and spent the rest of the time at home with Wandou.

Two days later, Pea finally woke up.

They immediately showed off three large bowls of dog food, a bowl of crystal kernel candy, and a bucket of spring water.

This appetite is more than double what it was before she fell into a coma, but Zhou Yang doesn't care at all. As long as Pea is healthy, she can eat as much as she wants.

Others went even further, saying: Eat as much as you want, there's plenty!

After Pea recovered, Zhou Yang returned to his usual leisurely state of mind and took Pea with him to join the team to fight zombies.

The team had been thinking about that big sinkhole in Xin'an City for two days, but since the journey to the pea-shaped area took too long, they hadn't gone there in the past two days.

Now that the peas are ready, it's time to make arrangements immediately.

Xu Zhiyi was left to guard the house again this time. Although the level 4 fire-type crystal core he brought back allowed him to successfully upgrade to level 4, given that Pea's abilities were clearly stronger than his, and based on the principle that Pea was available, he was unanimously approved to stay and guard the house.

Xu Zhiyi was initially very unconvinced, but after witnessing that the pea could burst into flames without harming a single hair on his head, he became withdrawn again.

Fine, fine, he's not even as good as a dog.

It's just looking after the house, the shop, and taking care of the kids, no problem!

The group set off early in the morning. Since Wandou had been there once before, they didn't need Zhou Yang and the others to give directions this time and headed straight for their destination. Also, because she hadn't been active for two days, Wandou was particularly excited as soon as she stepped outside and dashed out in a flash.

The speed was much faster than before, and Zhou Yang thought that this might be because Pea was considering the two-legged creatures sitting on its back, so it didn't dare to use full speed.

Pea didn't use full speed, and even deliberately controlled its speed, always remembering that its owner was delicate and needed to be protected.

Last time, it took me almost half an hour to get here, but this time it only took ten minutes.

Following the same routine as last time, this time Shen Zechuan and Chai Jin drove to lure the zombies, while Yan Fei was responsible for weaving a huge metal mesh to place at the bottom of the pit, and then pouring some gasoline on top. However, with Pea's powerful firepower this time, the amount of gasoline used was 30% less than last time.

After they finished their preparations, they waited for Shen Zechuan and Chai Jin to return.

But this time, after waiting for almost twenty minutes, they still hadn't returned. Just as I was worrying that something might have happened to them, I heard a car horn.

Then Shen Zechuan drove into the construction site, followed by more than twice as many zombies as last time, including several excessively large ones.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang quickly threw several packets of chicken blood into the pit.

After jumping out of the car, Shen Zechuan and Chai Jin immediately rushed towards Zhou Yang and the others.

"Why did you take so long this time?" Zhou Yang looked at the two of them with concern.

Shen Zechuan took a breath before saying, "There weren't many zombies in the area we bypassed last time, so we simply took a big detour and attracted zombies from within a radius of more than ten kilometers."

……

Most of the level one and two zombies, just like before, followed the sound of the car and the smell of chicken blood, and ended up in the pit on their own.

But this time there were obviously more intelligent zombies. Many of the higher-level zombies that lagged behind the horde spotted Yan Fei and his group, who were of even higher level. The sounds of the car and the smell of chicken blood instantly became irrelevant, and they turned and ran towards the group.

However, these zombies were still a bit too weak, and Yan Fei and his group quickly dealt with them.

The remaining creatures in the pit were also burned by the pea fire.

The waiting process was still boring, but this time Chai Jin absolutely refused to play cards. He hadn't even finished making the family dinner for the week he lost last time, and he was going to collapse if he had to play for another week.

With nothing to do, the group could only sit and wait.

Then Chai Jin found himself isolated.

Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan were whispering to each other, while Yan Fei was cuddling with Lu Xingye, leaving him, a single dog, feeling utterly miserable.

Oh, and there's also Pea. But Pea can also snuggle up to Zhou Yang and act cute, so in the end, he's the only one left all alone...

Sigh... Chai Jin sighed silently to himself. Hmph! He'll find a wife sooner or later and make you all eat your words!

After waking up this time, Pea's superpowers improved significantly. The fire she spewed this time was even more ferocious and hotter than before. So, this pit of nearly 20,000 zombies didn't burn slower than the previous few thousand zombies; in fact, it burned them even more thoroughly.

This gave Zhou Yang and the others a new understanding of Pea's superpowers. If this were applied to a human superpowered individual, it would probably be at least level 6.

Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei speculated that the evolutionary process of mutated animals might be different from that of humans, which is why they evolve faster.

Only Zhou Yang knew that the spring water also played a significant role in this.

However, in the past two days, he has started mixing spring water into everyone's drinking water, so everyone's leveling up should be much faster in the future.

After the zombies underground were burned to ashes, Yan Fei collected the scrap metal that had been reduced to just a car frame and then pulled up the metal mesh underground.

The net was filled with countless crystal cores, making everyone's eyes sparkle – this was all "money"!

After feeding the peas a bowl of crystal cores as a reward, the group continued with the next round.

Xin'an City has a permanent population of over one million. Even assuming a probability that more than half of the population will turn into zombies, and even if some were washed away by the previous flood, there would still be hundreds of thousands left, enough for them to fight for a long time.

The group worked until the sun was almost setting in the afternoon before finishing the last pit and going home.

By the end of the day, they had collected tens of thousands of crystal cores.

However, most of them are level one or two, there are a few thousand level three, and there is only one level four, which was found in the city center after Shen Zechuan took the initiative to come to him.

It's a pity it's an ice-type crystal core, so it's not very useful to them, but they can take it back to the base and exchange it for something useful.

Back at the base, the group immediately went home to wash up, and then sat together in Yan Fei's room to break down the day's crystal core earnings, separating the ones they needed.

Chai Jin, meanwhile, had to go into the kitchen to cook, looking rather miserable.

Having eaten various kinds of instant noodles for several days, the group strongly suggested that they eat rice and dishes.

So Chai Jin had no choice but to remake the dishes he had learned before.

Fortunately, apart from some differences in saltiness, it was much better than what Shen Zechuan made. None of them were picky eaters, and Gu Yaoyao also finished a bowl of white rice.

Just as everyone was almost finished eating, there was a knock on the door.

When the group went outside, they saw that it was Gu Tianqi who had arrived.

After welcoming Gu Tianqi inside, Yan Fei was the first to ask, "Uncle, why are you here at this hour? Have you eaten yet?"

Gu Tianqi waved his hand: "I've already eaten. I came here mainly to tell you some news. The base has just made contact with the capital."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei and the others couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
