Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After thoroughly educating the peas and the others until they all quieted down, Zhou Yang retracted the vines, picked up the orange, and headed back.

Orange was also tired of fighting with the vines and realized that it couldn't beat this two-legged creature, so it quietly let itself be carried away until it was back in its owner's arms, at which point it buried its head and pretended to be dead.

After returning the orange to He Shanshan, Zhou Yang noticed that the orange was not in good spirits and quickly apologized: "Sister Shanshan, I'm sorry, my four cats are a bit noisy. Please check if the orange is hurt."

"It's nothing, it just lost a fight and feels ashamed. It'll be fine after a good night's sleep." He Shanshan knew her cat all too well; it always looked like this after losing a fight.

Besides, she had already figured it out. The few that fought fiercely were just shouting and knocking over a lot of things; they hadn't actually used much force.

The fight was resolved, but the mess left on the ground still had to be cleaned up by these innocent people.

By the time everyone had restored the house to its original state, it was already past 9 p.m.

Zhou Yang and the others didn't sleep well last night and were exhausted, so Yu Jing told them to go to bed early.

However, there are only three bedrooms in the house, and they usually each live in one of them.

There aren't enough rooms no matter how you allocate them.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Jing made a decision: she would give up her room to Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan, and move to share a room with Xu Qingtang. He Shanshan would naturally stay in her own room.

As for Xu Zhiyi, he was allowed to sleep on a makeshift bed on the living room floor.

Xu Zhiyi: ...Yes, my biological mother.

After everyone left, Shen Zechuan winked at his brothers and gestured towards He Shanshan's room before pulling Zhou Yang back to his room amidst Xu Zhiyi's indignant gaze.

Pea and the little yellow dogs, who had turned back into puppies, followed happily into the house.

In the end, only Xu Zhiyi was left, sleeping alone on his makeshift bed on the floor in the living room.

After returning to their room, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan took a quick shower and went to bed.

Just as she was about to go to sleep, Shen Zechuan clung to her: "Yangyang, now that we've received the red envelopes and met each other's parents, I should be past my probation period, right?"

"Hmm... then I'll consider it a pass." Zhou Yang said, blushing slightly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan's eyes flashed, and he gave Zhou Yang a big kiss on the cheek: "Thank you, my wife!"

Then, seeing that Zhou Yang was about to get angry again because of the word "wife," she immediately changed the subject: "By the way, did you see the little box that your aunt gave you during the day?"

Zhou Yang originally intended to argue with Shen Zechuan about the issue of address, but Shen Zechuan's question immediately steered the conversation away from it: "Ah, I haven't seen it yet. I just put it in my spatial storage. Do you want to see it?"

After saying that, Zhou Yang took the small wooden box out of his spatial storage and handed it to Shen Zechuan.

“This is for you, take a look for yourself. But if I’m not mistaken, this was originally meant for my mother, but before my grandmother could give it to her, my mother passed away…” Shen Zechuan paused, then turned to Zhou Yang, “Alright, go ahead and open it. To be honest, I’ve never seen this before, and I’m quite curious.”

"Then I'll open it."

Zhou Yang placed the box in front of the two of them, and then solemnly opened the wooden box. Inside was a piece of bright yellow velvet cloth, on which was a jade pendant shaped like half a yin-yang talisman and carved with a dragon. There was nothing else inside.

The moment Zhou Yang saw the jade pendant, he was completely stunned.

How come this jade pendant looks so much like his? The size and shape are almost identical, even the material looks the same, and it's exactly symmetrical to his jade pendant.

Could the two jade pendants have originally been a pair?

Zhou Yang was startled by his own idea, but the more he thought about it, the more impossible it seemed. His family and Shen Zechuan's maternal family were completely unrelated.

But what if they really are a pair? Could this jade pendant also have a space within it?

Seeing Zhou Yang staring blankly at the jade pendant, Shen Zechuan picked it up and examined it. He couldn't discern anything special about it, but he could tell that the quality of the jade pendant... well, it was very ordinary. He couldn't help but wonder why his grandmother would give him such a common, ordinary jade pendant made from scraps.

However, since it was all from the old lady's heart, Shen Zechuan naturally wouldn't mind. But fearing that Zhou Yang might feel neglected, he comforted her, "Ahem, my grandma must have been tricked into buying this pendant. Although it's not the best quality, it's still her good intention, so let's keep it for now. Later, I'll give you all the jade items in my safe; those are all my precious collections..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt the jade pendant being taken away, and then a slight pain came from his fingertip. Looking down, he saw that there was a cut on his fingertip, and his daughter-in-law was holding the jade pendant and sticking it to the wound.

Shen Zechuan: ? ? ?

Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she felt a flash of white light before her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was sitting in a completely unfamiliar place. Looking around, she couldn't find Zhou Yang anywhere. She was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pan, running around frantically.

Zhou Yang, watching Shen Zechuan suddenly disappear from his sight, showed no surprise whatsoever. Clutching the jade pendant still in his hand, he thought to himself: Sure enough, this jade pendant also has a space.

Then he leaned against the headboard, watching his watch to time Shen Zechuan, to see when he would react and then ask him more questions about the space.

However, if the flow rate is three or four times that of his space, he shouldn't have to wait long.

Sure enough, less than a minute later, Shen Zechuan reappeared in front of Zhou Yang. He was very excited when he saw Zhou Yang, grabbed her hand and said, "Wife, I suddenly discovered that I have a magical space. Let me take you in to have a look!"

Without giving Zhou Yang a chance to speak, he took her into the space.

The moment they entered the space, the jade pendant that had been lying motionless on the main bedroom table in the wooden building suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, which gradually faded away after a long time.

Zhou Yang felt a blur before his eyes, and he was already in a new environment.

Looking at the lush green grass at his feet, Zhou Yang was momentarily stunned.

He hadn't expected Shen Zechuan to be so unguarded with him, exposing this space to him so directly, which moved him deeply.

After all, many couples who had been married for many years before the apocalypse might not have been able to be so generous.

It seems he was right after all.

After reflecting on his feelings, Zhou Yang looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

There was a freshwater lake nearby, where various fish and shrimp could be seen swimming freely, and small, fearless animals would occasionally come to drink water.

On the other side of the lake is a high mountain, which looks quite high. This freshwater lake is formed by the streams flowing down from this mountain.

Huh? It's different from my own space...

Seeing Zhou Yang still staring blankly at the space, Shen Zechuan assumed he was just too surprised, so he said, "How about it? Isn't it amazing? But there should be something even more amazing over there!"

"When I came in before, the other side of the mountain was shrouded in white mist. I guessed there should be another space over there, but it seemed like there was a wall between the two spaces, making it impossible to pass. However, when I came in again just now, I found that the white mist was gone! It should be possible to pass through now. Let's go and take a look!"

As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Yang and teleported to the mountaintop. A moment later, he pointed to the other side of the mountain and said excitedly, "There really is another space! It's a huge grassland with lots of chickens, ducks, geese, and all that. Look, there's a small orchard over there, and lots of cultivated land!"

"Huh? There's a wooden building! Does that mean we can come and stay in this space when we have nothing to do? Hehe, I wonder which senior left it behind. It's perfect for us!"

Zhou Yang: ...

I am the senior you mentioned, thank you...
