Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After taking a bite, Zhou Yang's eyes widened in surprise: "This is so delicious!"

Xu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow: "My mom used to run a private restaurant. These are all her signature dishes. I made them especially for you today. Before the apocalypse, people had to make reservations half a month in advance if they wanted to eat my mom's cooking."

"It's not that exaggerated." Yu Jing smiled gently. "It's also thanks to Xiao Zhou for providing everything, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make it."

"Hmm, Auntie's cooking is still the best." Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, feeling that since she had already accepted the red envelope, insisting on calling her "Auntie" would seem a bit pretentious, so she simply followed Shen Zechuan's lead and called her "Auntie."

I thought I would feel awkward, but after actually saying it, it wasn't so hard to accept.

Eight dishes for four people would have been a waste before the apocalypse, but now Zhou Yang and the other two could eat a lot. Except for Yu Jing, who ate a small portion, the rest was divided up by the three of them.

Yu Jing couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the empty plates of food.

She's usually too lazy to cook during the day, and because of limited ingredients, she can only make the simplest meals for breakfast and dinner.

I hadn't cooked any elaborate dishes in a long time and felt rusty, but this time I finally got to indulge in cooking again.

After finishing their meal, Zhou Yang and the others wanted to clean up the dishes themselves, but Yu Jing stopped them.

"I only have this much work left to do all day, so don't try to take it from me. By the way, don't you guys have things to do? Go ahead and do yours. I can take care of the house."

Zhou Yang and the other two did indeed need to find Yan Fei and the others, so they didn't insist and left first.

However, before leaving, Yu Jing specifically instructed that they must come back for dinner that night and stay at her house, especially Shen Zechuan and Zhou Yang.

Perhaps worried that they might find it troublesome and find another place to stay at the base, Yu Jing was still uneasy even after Zhou Yang and the other person assured her that they would return, so she kept Wandou there.

Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan's repeated assurances were useless, so they had no choice but to leave Wandou behind. Before leaving, they instructed it to keep its puppy-like appearance and not to scare Yu Jing.

Then, under Pea's resentful gaze, he left with Big Yellow, Little Yellow, and the other two.

After the three of them went downstairs, they drove along the route they had taken to find the building where Lu Xingye and Chai Jin lived.

The floors where the Chai and Lu families lived were a bit high up, but fortunately the power supply at the capital base seemed to be sufficient, and the elevator was working at the moment, so the three of them took the elevator up.

Upon arriving on the 16th floor and exiting the elevator, the three of them went straight to knock on the door of apartment 1601.

After knocking only a couple of times, the door opened from the inside.

Then Chai Jin's head popped out from inside.

The three of them unconsciously looked up at the door number again.

That's right, it's 1601.

But why did Chai Jinlai open the door?

"Isn't this Lu Xingye's house? What are you doing here?" Xu Zhiyi looked at Chai Jin suspiciously.

"Well, after I finished chatting with my parents at home, I felt a bit bored, so I just came here with them."

After Chai Jin opened the door wide, he finally revealed himself, and his suddenly buzz-cut hair was particularly eye-catching.

Shen Zechuan clicked his tongue lightly: "So what's wrong with your hair?"

Chai Jin raised his hand and touched the top of his head: "Oh, my dad thought my hair was too long, so he just shaved it off with clippers. Do you want some?"

Although it looks a bit ugly and feels a bit prickly, he thinks it's quite refreshing and strongly recommends it to his brothers.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan and Zhou Yang were eager to try, but Xu Zhiyi shook his head.

What a joke! He hasn't even found a wife yet, and now he's turned himself bald. What if his wife gets scared away?

Unlike Xu Zhiyi, who backed down, Shen Zechuan expressed no fear.

After all, he always had a buzz cut when he was in the army, and he believed he still looked good. A new hairstyle might show his wife a different kind of handsomeness and add some spice to their relationship.

Compared to the two people before her, Zhou Yang didn't have so many ulterior motives. Instead, she simply considered that it would be quite annoying for her hair to be too long when it got hot.

At this time, a buzz cut would be particularly suitable; he had styled himself into a buzz cut in the extreme heat of his past life.

Back then, he didn't have clippers, so he could only use scissors to cut it as short as possible, resulting in a hairstyle that looked like it had been chewed by a dog. Now that he has clippers, what more could he ask for?

After the three entered the house, they found that it was not very big. It was a small single-story house with four bedrooms and two living rooms, about 150 square meters.

Yan Fei, Lu Xingye, a handsome man they didn't recognize, and three middle-aged men were gathered in the living room talking about something, while a little boy was building Lego on the carpet.

Upon seeing the three enter, the group stopped talking.

The man was the first to stand up and greet the three of them: "You're here! Come and sit down."

"Brother Lu, Uncle Li, Uncle Chai, Aunt Chai, it's been a long time." Xu Zhiyi and Shen Zechuan nodded and greeted each other.

Then, Shen Zechuan pulled Zhou Yang to sit on one of the empty sofas.

"Oh right, this is Zhou Yang, my boyfriend!" Shen Zechuan said, then turned to introduce the others to Zhou Yang, "This is Xiao Ye's older brother, Lu Yanwen. This is Uncle Li, the Lu family's butler. These two are Chai Jin's parents, and this is Chai Jin's younger brother, Chai Yi."

"Hello Brother Lu, hello Uncle Li, hello Uncle Chai and Aunt Chai, and hello Brother Chai Yi." Zhou Yang greeted them one by one with a smile.

"Hello……"

Everyone happily agreed, clearly having already heard about him from Yan Fei and the others, and were not surprised at all.

After a brief greeting, Yan Fei inquired about the Xu family.

"How's it going on your end? Have you found Aunt Yu Jing and the others?"

Xu Zhiyi nodded, but there was little joy on his face: "Found it."

Seeing that neither Xu Zhiyi nor Shen Zechuan seemed particularly happy, Yan Fei suspected that things might not be looking too optimistic.

"What about Old Master Xu and the others..."

Shen Zechuan clenched his fist and slammed it against his knee: "They were killed by Xu Songqing and Shen Weifeng! I must kill them!"

Everyone else looked over upon hearing this: "What's going on?"

Xu Zhiyi sighed before beginning to explain the whole story.

Everyone was furious upon hearing this.

Mr. Chai stamped his feet in anger: "This is outrageous! How could my own son do something like this?"

Lu Yanwen also sighed: "The old man and the others have avenged themselves, but Aunt Yu Jing stopped you. It's not that she's afraid of trouble, but mainly she's worried about Zechuan. Killing Xu Songqing is easy, but Shen Weifeng is your biological father after all. She just doesn't want you to commit patricide."

"Parricide?" Shen Zechuan's face instantly turned cold: "He doesn't even deserve it! From the day he killed my mother, he has been my enemy!"

The others also knew about the Shen family's troubles to some extent, so they didn't offer much advice and just sighed inwardly.

Zhou Yang gently grasped Shen Zechuan's arm to comfort him somewhat, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him to give up his hatred.

Some people are born unfit to be parents, and they deserve to die.

At worst, he could just help Shen Zechuan kill the person first, then it wouldn't be considered patricide, right?
