Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Wang Yang and the other three looked at each other, confused as to what had happened.

Suddenly, the mutated tiger turned around again, letting out a roar that shook the entire mountain.

The four looked behind the mutated tiger and discovered that a mutated dog, about the same size as the tiger, had appeared behind it at some point. The dog was looking at the mutated tiger, whose fur was singed and made it look extremely ugly, with disgust.

It turned out that Pea had always thought the tiger's fur was too mottled and unattractive, so she wanted to pluck it.

Unexpectedly, the tiger kept electrocuting him, and when Pea tried to hit it with fire, it exploded, resulting in his now black and gray curly fur, making him look even worse.

The mutated tiger was furious at the smell of its own burnt body and roared in an attempt to intimidate the dog in front of it.

But seeing that the peas ignored it, it felt insulted and pounced on them.

However, as soon as his back foot left the ground, he felt something pull him down. When he turned around, he saw two vines of mutated plants.

The mutated tiger had no choice but to turn around and attack the vines with lightning. Unfortunately, just as it freed the vines, the pea took over and delivered a devastating blow to the mutated tiger.

The supernatural fire, combined with the lightning that the mutated tiger hadn't had time to retract, directly injured the mutated tiger's ear.

The mutated tiger howled as it withdrew its lightning, then angrily lunged at the pea to bite it, only to have the mutated vines seize the opportunity to wrap around its body.

……

Pea and Little Tiger held off the mutated tiger, while Yan Fei led the way, and Zhou Yang and the others came directly to Wang Yang and his group, who were already dumbfounded.

"You guys go first, this mutated tiger is not something you can handle."

Wang Yang, looking at the seven people who had suddenly appeared in front of him, came to his senses and asked, "You saved us? And this dog and the mutated plant are yours too?"

Lu Xingye spread his hands and shrugged: "Obviously."

Wang Yang couldn't gauge their strength, but he knew they were stronger than him. Still, he was somewhat worried: "Are you sure you can handle them?"

Shen Zechuan glanced back at the mutated tiger, which was enraged beyond measure: "It's not a big problem."

"Thank you all for saving our lives. We'll be leaving now. We're from the Thunderstorm Ability Team at the Capital Base. My name is Wang Yang. You can look for me if you ever come to the Capital Base again." Wang Yang hadn't seen Zhou Yang and the others at the base before, so he assumed they were from other nearby bases.

"Okay, then. You guys get out of here quickly." Yan Fei didn't explain further and simply gestured for them to leave.

After Wang Yang and the others left, Zhou Yang and the others went to see Pea and the mutated tiger.

By this time, the mutated tiger was almost driven to its wits' end by Pea and Little Tiger. Pea and Little Tiger were teasing the mutated tiger like they were playing with a cat, going back and forth and constantly toying with it.

Especially Little Tiger, although plants can't withstand lightning, it has so many vines. If one is gone, countless more can come, and it doesn't take much effort at all.

By the time the mutated tiger came to its senses and realized it might be no match for the tiger, and tried to escape, it was already too late.

Suddenly, the little tiger sprouted a large number of vines that encircled the mutated tiger's body, and after tying a knot, it deliberately cut off the vines.

Then Lu Xingye began to raise his hand and extract large amounts of water from the mutated tiger's body, forming an airtight water film around the mutated tiger.

The mutated tiger's massive loss of body water made it extremely unsuitable for its environment, and the water film on the outside made it difficult to breathe. When it tried to use lightning to untangle the vines, the water, being an conductor of electricity, paralyzed it.

After an unknown amount of time, the mutated tiger finally stopped struggling.

Lu Xingye was also drenched in sweat, his energy almost completely depleted. Once he was sure the mutated tiger was no longer moving, he finally let go of his hands, his legs almost giving way. Fortunately, Yan Fei caught him from behind.

"Hehe! I took care of the mutated tiger this time, wasn't I amazing!"

"Amazing! Amazing! Ah Ye is so amazing!" Yan Fei kissed Lu Xingye's sweaty cheek, looking at him with heartache.

Lu Xingye quickly turned his head to the side: "Hey, don't kiss me! I'm soaked in sweat! It's so uncomfortable!"

Seeing that Lu Xingye was exhausted, Zhou Yang quickly put a handful of level-three crystal cores in his hand: "Xingye, quickly absorb the crystal cores and restore your strength."

Lu Xingye was so tired that he couldn't even lift his hands. He held the crystal core and closed his eyes to absorb it.

Seeing that Lu Xingye had begun to concentrate on absorbing the crystal core, Yan Fei put him down, then left Zhou Yang and Chai Jin there to keep him company, and got up to deal with the mutated tiger with Shen Zechuan and the others.

After all, this mutated tiger was of a very high level, with its skin and skull being extremely hard, requiring him, a level 4 metal ability user, to open its skull and extract its crystal core.

"Oh, right, we should dismantle the tiger skin and take the meat with us. Even if we don't need it, we can take it back and sell it to the base. We should also dismantle all the bones to make bone knives for later use. They'll be very sharp for cutting down lower-level zombies and mutated beasts."

Zhou Yang quickly added from behind, "Such a large mutated tiger, every part of it is valuable, we shouldn't waste it."

The others responsible for dismantling the mutated beast readily agreed.

Yan Fei spent a lot of effort to pry open the mutated tiger's head and get the crystal core inside, which was about the size of an egg.

Yan Fei was genuinely surprised by the size of the crystal core. After comparing it with the level 5 metal zombie crystal core he had obtained before, he said, "This crystal core should be more than level 5. I estimate it to be at least level 5."

Shen Zechuan laughed upon hearing this: "Haha, then I'm lucky! After I absorb him, I'll be at least a level 5 ability user."

"By the way, you've had a level 5 crystal core for quite some time now, why haven't you upgraded yet?"

"It'll be soon, in the next couple of days. My energy will soon be at its peak."

"Okay! But remember to call us first when you upgrade, someone needs to watch over you."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely look for you guys. My parents also really want to meet you, so we can get together then."

"no problem!"

After they finished speaking, the two continued with their work.

By the time the four of them finished their work and called Zhou Yang over to collect the things, Lu Xingye had recovered to about 70-80% and was too tired to lie down any longer.

Hearing that the mutated tiger had been dismantled, he excitedly followed Zhou Yang over.

However, once he arrived there and saw the mutated tiger meat piled up in small mountains, Lu Xingye's stomach started growling uncontrollably.

"Haha, I just finished digesting my breakfast. By the way, is this mutated tiger meat delicious? I've never eaten tiger meat before, I'm a little curious..." Lu Xingye scratched his head awkwardly.

"It should be edible..." Chai Jin looked at the large chunks of meat and couldn't help but swallow.

"Um, how about I grill a leg for you guys to try?" Zhou Yang looked at the mutated tiger meat without giving it a second thought. He'd never eaten mutated tiger meat before and wasn't sure if it would taste good...

But we can give it a try. It's almost noon anyway, and everyone else is hungry.

After Zhou Yang left enough mutated tiger meat to eat and put everything else away, the group simply found another spot nearby and started a barbecue.

As soon as the mutated tiger meat was roasted, Lu Xingye couldn't wait to be the first to try it, but he couldn't swallow it even after chewing for a long time.

"Sigh, it smells really good, but the meat is too dry and tough, it's hard on the teeth, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to digest."

Upon hearing this, the others also tried it, and indeed the meat was too tough and not very tasty. In the end, they all gave up on the mutated tiger meat, and even the already roasted pieces went into the mouth of the best-toothed pea.

Pea didn't mind at all and ate with great relish. However, he still remembered his three younger brothers and asked Zhou Yang to put some of the roasted mutated tiger meat into his spatial storage.

Afterwards, the group took chicken, duck, and goose meat from Zhou Yang's space, as well as a rabbit that had been killed but not yet skinned, and started roasting it again, thus solving their lunch problem.
