Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Zhang Nannan was unaware that the other party had been tolerating her for a long time, and her face remained arrogant.

Since entering the base, and as her father's team gradually began to show its strength, she has become accustomed to acting arrogantly and domineeringly.

Even her previous feelings of inferiority due to her appearance have been replaced by overwhelming confidence from flattery over the past six months. She now believes that the beauty standard in the apocalypse should be plumpness, and that skinny women are unwanted.

So although many people wanted to marry her because of her father's team's strength, she thought they were all ugly and didn't like any of them.

There were a few men she liked, but either they were powerful and unwilling, or her father was reluctant to let her marry into a wealthy family.

Yesterday, she finally met someone whose father agreed to her and whom she liked, but it turned out that the person was TXL. Zhang Nannan was furious.

Her bodyguards had to persuade her to go out for a walk today, but she had only been in the market for a short while when she ran into Shen Zechuan and Zhou Yang shopping.

Zhang Nannan was furious and immediately tried to steal the prize.

But the woman selling things was oblivious to her situation and insisted on going against her. Looking at the woman, although she was skin and bones, her face was very delicate.

This made Zhang Nannan's heart burn with jealousy again. When she heard the woman tell her to get lost, she couldn't suppress the fire in her heart anymore.

"Hmph, can't we even talk about a sickly person?! Why are you changing his medicine? Just send him to his death, that would be quicker! If you can't bear to, then die with him! That would be the end of it all!"

Upon hearing this, the woman in black could no longer contain herself. She grabbed Zhang Nannan by the collar and slapped her twice across the face, saying, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"

Because she used a lot of strength, Zhang Nannan's chubby face immediately swelled up like a pig's head.

When Zhang Nannan came to her senses, she touched her face and knew it was swollen. She immediately reached out to grab the woman's face, but was kicked to the ground by the woman in black.

"Do you even know who my dad is?! I'll get him to kill you when I get back!"

"Tch! If it weren't for your father's sake, I would have killed you long ago! Your father's Tiger Roar Ability Group may have a lot of people and power, but we Black Roses are not afraid of trouble!"

Upon hearing that the woman in black belonged to Black Rose, the bodyguards, fearing things might get out of hand, quickly stepped forward to reassure Zhang Nannan: "Miss, this woman is from Black Rose! She's not someone to mess with. Maybe we should just let it go. Let's go look around somewhere else."

"No way! I want those two crystal cores today!" Zhang Nannan tossed her hand away. "So what if it's Black Rose? A bunch of women who only managed to stay in the base by sleeping with men, what's there to be afraid of..."

When the woman with black hair heard Zhang Nannan insult her team again, her eyes darkened even more. She looked at Zhang Nannan as if she were looking at a dead person, and released the aura of a level 4 ability user.

Zhang Nannan was startled by that look, and her tone, which was already somewhat weak, immediately shut up when she saw that the woman was a level 4 ability user.

Upon seeing the black-clad woman's Level 4 aura, the bodyguards recognized her as Li Mei, the leader of Black Rose and the only Level 4 ability user. They immediately stepped forward and pulled Zhang Nannan away.

"Chief Li, we are so sorry. We were blind to your greatness. We will leave now!"

Then, regardless of whether Zhang Nannan wanted to or not, he grabbed her and strode away.

This is a ruthless Black Widow.

If they leave now, at most they'll get a beating or scolding from this young lady when they get back. But if they don't leave now, and the Black Rose leader hurts Zhang Nannan, then they'll really be in deep trouble!

Li Mei didn't stop Zhang Nannan and the others; she just watched them leave, and only looked away when they were quite a distance away.

"Sorry for the little hiccup, the transaction will continue." Li Mei turned around, smiled slightly at Zhou Yang and the others, and then handed over another level 4 crystal core.

Zhou Yang took the crystal core, put it into his spatial storage, and then looked at Li Mei: "I thought you were a free spirit, I didn't expect you to be a leader?"

"It's just a bunch of girls, all alone and homeless, banding together to survive in the base. It's nothing special." Li Mei smiled faintly, put away the medicine, and then casually tidied up the stall on the ground as well.

"You're not going to continue selling?"

Li Mei shrugged: "I've been displaying this for half a month, and today is the only day I've run into someone who has the medicine. Since you're not interested in the rest, there's no point in displaying it anymore."

"By the way, my name is Li Mei. You should still have some of this medicine in stock, right? Tell me what kind of crystal cores you need. I'll go back and ask my sisters, and then we can trade again later."

Zhou Yang considered for a moment and said, "Hmm, we still need two level 4 crystal cores, one for speed and one for space. We don't need anything else."

"Tsk, this is pretty difficult, all level 4! I'll think of something else later. By the way, I've never seen anyone this strong before, you must be new here, right? Will you be staying in the capital permanently? Where should I go to trade with you?"

This time, Zhou Yang didn't answer directly. After all, there were ordinary people like Aunt Yu Jing at home, and it wasn't convenient to directly reveal the address.

So Yan Fei gave them his home address directly: "If you want to make a deal, just go to the Yan family in Area A. My name is Yan Fei. If I'm not here, you can leave a message first, and we'll come find you. We won't be leaving the capital anytime soon, but it's hard to say what will happen in the long run."

"Tsk, the Yan family..." Li Mei paused for a moment, then looked at these people with even greater respect. "Alright, I understand!"

After saying that, Li Mei packed her things and left gracefully.

Zhou Yang and his group had almost finished exploring the market, so they turned around and headed back.

Not far from the trading market, Chai Jin noticed a small street he hadn't seen before, with many red lanterns hanging inside, giving it a festive look.

"Are these lanterns on the street decorations left over from the Lunar New Year? Hasn't the base taken them away yet?"

Lu Yanwen glanced at him sideways, a playful smile creeping onto his lips: "This is the legendary red-light district. What? You want to go in and see for yourself? Too bad, it's not open yet, it only opens at night..."

Upon hearing the word "red-light district," the group immediately understood what it meant.

Chai Jin's face flushed red: "No, no, no! I didn't mean to go in!"

"Isn't the base going to take care of this? The post-apocalyptic world is quite chaotic, and there aren't enough family planning supplies right now..." If any diseases spread, it will be impossible to control.

Although Zhou Yang knew that it was quite normal for red-light districts to appear in the base, he couldn't help but worry.

Lu Yanwen shook his head: "The base can't manage it even if it wants to. Many ordinary women make a living this way. Besides, male superhumans can't do without a place to release their pent-up emotions. We can only turn a blind eye. At most, we can strictly prohibit the soldiers from going to the red-light district if they don't have family planning supplies."

The others simply sighed upon hearing this and continued walking forward.

Suddenly, Xu Zhiyi stopped in his tracks, staring at a figure that flashed by at the other end of the red-light district.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yang and the others looked over curiously, but didn't see anything.

Xu Zhiyi frowned: "I think I saw Xu Songqing..."

"Hmm? Wasn't he hiding in the villa these past two days, too afraid to go out? Are you sure it's him?"

"I guess they finally couldn't hold it in any longer," Xu Zhiyi scoffed. "Whether they can or not, we'll find out when we get there!"
