Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

"Didn't your mother teach you that villains die from talking too much?" Yan Fei said coldly, and then, without giving Da Shan a chance to react, he swung the iron rod and struck him hard on the head.

A level 2 ability user facing a level 4 Yan Fei is like sending food to the slaughter.

The mountain, which had been praised by his companions, was knocked to the ground in just a couple of moves, and the blood gushing from his head flowed all over the ground in the blink of an eye.

The two accomplices following closely behind saw that Dashan had collapsed and was not breathing. They quickly squatted down to check on him and found that he was not even breathing. They were so frightened that their legs went weak.

"Damn it! Brother Dashan is dead!"

"What?!" another person exclaimed in surprise, "What do we do now? Should we still handle these goods?"

"Let's get them! What are we going to eat if we don't get them?! Everyone, let's go! Big Zhuang is as strong as an ox now, and with Zhicheng and Dafei, who are both incredibly fast, taking care of these guys won't be a problem!"

"Row!"

After a brief discussion, the two quickly signaled to a few people with special abilities to come out and lead the charge, and then the remaining dozen or so people grabbed their weapons and rushed forward.

Without anyone else lifting a finger, Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan didn't even bother using their special abilities. They simply used these people as punching bags to practice their punches and kicks, and within minutes they had them lying on the ground crying for their parents.

The so-called "power evolution" Da Zhuang is only level 1 now, and his strength is almost the same as Yan Fei and the others after they leveled up. He also didn't get any advantage and even broke one of his legs.

Seeing this, the group knew they couldn't win, so they decided to give up and run away. But as soon as they retreated to the gate, they saw a huge beast head peering out from outside, its two enormous eyes staring at them menacingly.

One of the bandits was so frightened that he wet his pants.

Pea tilted its head and glanced at the two-legged creature that had wet its pants, then immediately pulled its head back, raised its paw and waved it in front of its nose, before digging a hole in the ground.

Ugh! It stinks! How can these two-legged creatures poop and pee everywhere? They're not even as sensible as this pea. Let's bury it!

Upon seeing the situation, the two speed-evolved individuals exchanged a glance, each grabbing a companion. One was thrown towards Yan Fei and the others, while the other was thrown towards the giant beast outside. Then, the two seized the opportunity to make their escape.

The person who was thrown towards Yan Fei and the others didn't see clearly and was thrown directly in front of Chai Jin. Chai Jin instinctively kicked him against the wall, and with a "crack" sound, the person was immediately silenced.

Zhou Yang guessed that his spine was completely shattered.

The one that was thrown at the pea fell directly into the newly dug pit, and because it landed headfirst, it was instantly killed.

The pea tilted its head and kindly buried the person first.

Seeing that the two speed-evolved individuals had escaped, Yan Fei and his companions quickly dealt with the remaining people before emerging from the house.

Chai Jin wanted to catch the two escaped men, but Yan Fei stopped him.

"Why let these two go? People like them are just a menace!"

“Don’t rush them, they can’t have gone far. They’re so familiar with this place, they must be locals, and they probably live not far away. Besides, I suspect they have accomplices. Let them go first, so we can follow them and find their hideout.”

Chai Jin scratched his head: "I see."

The group set the entire house, along with the corpses, on fire.

After waiting a while longer, and feeling that the two speed-evolved individuals had run a sufficient distance, he called out to Pea, asking her to follow the scent of the two people.

*

On the other side, two speed-evolved individuals raced back to their settlement a few kilometers away.

Upon entering the air-raid shelter, I collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat.

Damn it, we've really messed up this time. Luckily, the two of them ran fast.

Just then, two middle-aged women came up from the lake at the foot of the mountain, carrying water. As they reached the cave entrance, they saw the two panting men.

"Hey, Zhicheng, Dafei, you're back so soon? We haven't even heated the water yet!"

"Auntie, no need to boil water... We've really messed up this time, Dashan and the others are all dead there. Third Auntie, I'm so sorry! I didn't bring Brother Dashan back!"

"What! How could our Dashan be gone?! He had superpowers! Dafei, are you joking with your aunt?" Auntie paused, then patted Dafei's shoulder in disbelief.

“Aunt Zhang, it’s true. We only managed to escape because we ran fast, otherwise we would have died there too.”

"How could the mountains be so powerful?!" Aunt Zhang collapsed to the ground, wailing, "My mountains!"

The crying drew others out of the air-raid shelter as well.

"what happened?"

"Dafei and Zhicheng, why are you two back? Where are Dazhuang and the others?"

"Yes, yes, and what about my Zhifeng and Zhiyong?"

"..."

A large crowd surrounded the two men, bombarding them with questions. Finally, it was Uncle Zhang, the village chief, who spoke up.

"What are you all doing making such a racket here?!"

"Brother, Dashan and Dazhuang are all gone!" Aunt Zhang cried even harder when she saw the village chief arrive.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang took his pipe out of his mouth, his eyebrows furrowing: "Zhicheng, Dafei, you two explain yourselves clearly, what's going on?!"

Upon seeing this, Zhicheng and Dafei exchanged a glance, then immediately rushed to Uncle Zhang's feet, each grabbing one of his arms and beginning to cry.

"Uncle, this batch of goods is too powerful, we can't beat them! Dashan was killed in two moves, Zhicheng and I only managed to escape because we ran fast!"

"Yes, Uncle, we barely escaped with our lives! Uncle, you must avenge Dashan and the others! Only you can avenge them here!"

"Hmph! You two spineless cowards." Uncle Zhang slapped each of them on the head. "If you dare to touch anyone in our village, you'll pay with your lives."

"Everyone, have a good meal first, then grab your weapons and come with me to kill those bastards!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else immediately returned to the air-raid shelter. Several middle-aged women each grabbed a kitchen knife and held it in their hands, preparing to follow along and seek revenge.

Little did they know, the person they were after had already reached the foot of their mountain.

……

Zhou Yang and the others followed the peas all the way to the foot of this barren hill.

The area is sparsely vegetated and mostly rocky. There is also an air-raid shelter left over from the war, and at the foot of the mountain is a large pond created by bombs during the War of Resistance against Japan. It is a good place to hide.

"This should be it. It seems that this hideout is located in the air-raid shelter in the mountain."

After shrinking the pea, the group, seeing that no one was around, went straight up the mountain.

As we walked to the outside of the air-raid shelter, we could faintly see some candlelight inside.

Just as I was about to go in and take a look, I saw a middle-aged woman carrying a basin come out.

The group immediately darted to the other side and hid.

The woman poured a basin of something, which she didn't know what it was, quite a distance from the cave entrance before turning around and going back into the cave.

Once the woman left, Zhou Yang and the others came out again.

"Shall we just charge in?"

"They're probably from a whole village, maybe even children. We can't just kill them all, can we?"

"Tsk, right, what if there really is a child?"

While the group was hesitating, Xu Zhiyi went to the spot where the woman had thrown the things earlier, looked around, and then called the others over.

"I think you don't need to worry about all this. Come and take a look at this."

Upon hearing this, the group walked over and saw bones of various sizes scattered on the ground.

Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan's faces darkened immediately upon seeing it, and Zhou Yang's face turned deathly pale after seeing a section of bone.

Isn't this a human skeleton? And there are even finger bones from a child among them!

Chai Jin and Lu Xingye were unaware of the human bones on the ground, and seeing the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the others, they were very curious.

"It's just bone, what's wrong with it?"

Zhou Yang looked at the two of them with a quiet gaze: "These look like... human bones."

"Fuck!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingye and Chai Jin immediately took a step back, looking incredulously at the bones on the ground and then at the direction of the air-raid shelter.

"Then...wouldn't everyone inside be..."

Yan Fei interjected, "They're all cannibals! The 'goods' they were talking about earlier were probably referring to us, and this is definitely not the first time they've done this. Their entire village is probably a cannibal village; they all eat people."

Upon hearing this, Chai Jin stomped his foot angrily: "Damn it! I'm going in right now and killing them all!"
