Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

In response to the boy's request, Zhou Yang directly expressed his attitude through his actions.

He pulled out a short knife and handed it to the boy.

"Thanks……"

The boy took the dagger with a sob in his voice, and then walked step by step toward the old man who was lying on the ground with his hands and feet bound by vines.

"You're the one who tricked my parents into coming to the village! You killed them right in front of me and forced me to eat flesh cut from their bodies! Today, I'm going to kill you with my own hands to avenge my parents!"

After saying that, she stabbed the old man in the stomach and stirred it around inside.

The old man immediately screamed in pain.

The pig-like screams gave Zhou Yang a headache, so he simply pulled out an unwashed rag and stuffed it into the old man's mouth.

Now it's finally quiet.

Seeing that the boy still had a hole to poke, Zhou Yang went to check on the other children first.

No one knows how long they've been locked up; they've all become emaciated, and the youngest one doesn't even look as old as Gu Yaoyao.

"Don't be afraid anymore, we've chased away all the bad guys. Come on, have something to eat first."

Zhou Yang took out a pot of millet porridge from his spatial storage, then ladled out a bowl of porridge and handed it out.

After holding the bowl up for a long time, not a single child dared to step forward and take it, and a feeling of sadness welled up in my heart.

Just as I was about to go over and coax her again, a girl stood out from the cage next to me.

"Brother, can I have the porridge first? They're very timid and scared of being beaten. I'll feed them."

“Okay. But you should drink this bowl first, and I’ll get you another one to feed them.” Zhou Yang said, handing over the bowl of porridge he was holding.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" The girl was moved to tears and kept thanking him before taking the bowl of porridge and wolfing it down.

The other girls were also drooling, but they didn't dare to ask for any, and just timidly continued to shrink back.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang sighed and served them several more bowls of porridge.

After the girl finished her porridge, she returned the bowl to Zhou Yang, then took the freshly made porridge and called to the children through the wooden fence:

"Pengpeng, you guys drink your porridge, I'll feed you. You haven't eaten for days, your health will collapse if you don't eat soon."

Perhaps because they were familiar with the girl, the children moved over and took turns drinking the porridge.

Seeing that the children had also eaten, Zhou Yang then took some porridge to the remaining boys.

Even the boy who was stabbing someone wasn't spared.

"Eat something first so you have the strength to start. Look, you've been poking him for ages, and he's still alive and well."

The boy blushed slightly upon hearing this, realizing that he was indeed weak and powerless, so he didn't try to force himself and ate the porridge in a few mouthfuls.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, continue your revenge!"

Zhou Yang smiled, took back the bowl, gestured for him to leave, and then stepped aside.

"Um... could you give me a knife too? I want to get revenge too..."

Zhou Yang turned around when he heard the voice and saw the girl who had been the first to speak to him.

Looking behind her, she saw another girl had taken over her job and was comforting the children as they drank their porridge.

Thinking it was probably another person whose family had been killed, he didn't ask any more questions and handed over another knife.

The girl took the knife, thanked him, and walked step by step toward the old man on the ground, her eyes filled with unfathomable hatred.

Seeing another girl step forward and stab the old man with a knife, the others couldn't sit still any longer. One by one, they stepped forward and asked the group for knives.

In the end, even several children were stabbed multiple times.

None of Zhou Yang and the others stopped them.

In this apocalyptic world, even children have to learn to harden their hearts and live.

If you don't dare to fight back against an enemy you can't retaliate against, you might as well just commit suicide.

By the time the young men and women had completely stopped, the old man on the ground was unrecognizable.

His body was covered in blood, not a single piece of flesh was intact, his eyeballs had been gouged out, and even his lower body had been cut into pieces.

Wow, well done!

It was at this point that Zhou Yang and the others asked about the names and experiences of these young men and women.

The first boy to step forward was named Wang Yixin, who had just turned 19 and was from a neighboring city. The other boys were named Xu Wen and He Ruida.

The first girl to be cut was named Sun Jing, 18 years old. The child named Peng Peng was her younger brother, Sun Peng, who is now 5 and a half years old.

The other three girls and the child were speaking too softly, and Zhou Yang didn't hear them clearly. But since it wasn't important, she didn't dwell on it.

These people were all strangers to each other; they were all passing through here on their way to the capital with their families before and after the extreme cold.

Without exception, they were all stopped by the villagers and warmly received.

At that time, the end times had not been long, and they were not very wary. They thought the villagers were just kind and hospitable, but they never expected that they would fall into a trap after drinking a bowl of water.

The younger ones were spared, but the older adults were slaughtered on the spot by these beasts.

They were filled with rage, but their bodies, drugged, were too weak to muster any strength, and they could only watch helplessly as their loved ones died one by one.

Women with even a little bit of beauty had to endure repeated humiliation from the villagers...

Those who survived were locked in the cellar, fed a little bit of bread and water each day so that they were too weak to run but not starving to death.

Occasionally, they would be given a large bowl of meat soup, but once, when an old woman told them that it was meat soup made by their relatives, they all vomited up their leftover rice from the previous night.

From then on, they never dared to touch anything related to meat again.

Later, after the snow melted, a major flood occurred, and they could no longer stay in the village, so the villagers brought them here.

“Every now and then these people would strip us naked and lock us up with the three of them, trying to get us pregnant… If it weren’t for my brother, I probably wouldn’t have made it through.” Sun Jing sat to the side, hugging her brother, tears streaming down her face.

Pengpeng nestled quietly in her sister's arms, not saying a word, but simply wiping away her sister's tears with her little hands.

When Sun Jing started crying, the other girls and children couldn't help but cry too.

Zhou Yang and the others understood immediately upon hearing Sun Jing's words.

Suddenly, I felt that those people had died too easily before, and they should be made to experience the Ten Great Tortures.

The three boys standing nearby also lowered their heads. Although they were forced, they had still done bad things to the girls.

Actually, they were also bullied by several middle-aged women in the village, but they were too embarrassed to speak up. Since they were boys, they weren't as badly hurt as the girls and children, so it was best not to mention it.

"By the way, did you see a girl named Sui Sui up there? She's my college classmate, and the prettiest among us. She was targeted by a guy named Da Shan, who kept her in solitary confinement and bullied her for a long time. But recently they found out she was pregnant and took her up there," one of the short-haired girls asked in a low voice.

"Uh, I didn't notice. I'll go up and check again in a bit."

Zhou Yang and his group were busy killing people and didn't pay much attention to whether there were any people still locked up above.

"You've recovered some of your strength now, so go up first."

"Okay/Good".

Yan Fei and Lu Xingye went up first, and then Wang Yixin and the others climbed up the cellar ladder. Zhou Yang and the others waited until the children had gone up before climbing up themselves.

When they came out of the cellar, they found that it was already four o'clock in the morning, and the sky in the east was beginning to lighten.
