Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone sat together to rest for a while before packing up their things to head down the mountain.

Before leaving, however, they cremated all the superhumans who had died at the scene, and took the crystal cores with them as well, since leaving them there would be a waste anyway.

Since it was still early, after descending the mountain, the group took a ride on the Pea to the capital city, intending to collect some zombie cores before returning.

This city truly lives up to its reputation as the third most populous city; there are over 20 million zombies in the city that you can't possibly kill them all.

However, they couldn't find a suitable place to massacre zombies, so they could only slowly kill their way through street by street.

As evening approached, after clearing out tens of thousands of zombies and also collecting a batch of metals and building materials, the group slowly drove back to the base.

After entering the gate, in accordance with the rules of the capital, the group handed over some supplies and crystal cores. Just as they were about to go to the service hall to complete their mission, they were stopped.

Upon closer inspection, the group realized they were from the base's military, and the middle-aged man leading them was Yu Weijun, one of Yan Fei's father's subordinates.

Although they didn't know the reason, they obediently followed after seeing that they were from the Yan family.

As soon as Yan Fei got into the military vehicle, he asked, "Uncle Yu, what happened at the base?"

Yu Weijun smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that Zhang Nannan, the daughter of Zhang Tao, the leader of the top-ranked private team in the base, the Howling Ability Group, suddenly died at home during the day. Zhang Tao said you had a motive for murder, and his subordinates and people in the market can also testify that you had a conflict yesterday afternoon, so he wants to ask you a few questions."

"Don't worry, I've checked. You left the base early this morning and haven't come back all day. You couldn't have killed anyone. We're just taking notes now, and you can leave after we're done."

"Oh, that's good." Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tsk, that woman was so arrogant yesterday. She must have offended a lot of people. She deserved to die," Lu Xingye said calmly.

Others nodded in agreement.

Within minutes, the group arrived at the military headquarters, where they bumped into Zhang Tao, who was arguing with the military personnel.

Upon seeing Shen Zechuan and Zhou Yang, Zhang Tao immediately turned his fire on them: "Was it you two scoundrels who killed my daughter?! I'll kill you both to pay for my daughter's death!"

He was about to hit someone, but Shen Zechuan pulled Zhou Yang away to dodge the blow.

"Is your anus stuck in your throat? All you do is spew filth from your mouth. If you're mentally ill, go feed the zombies, don't waste food in the base. What does your daughter's life or death have to do with us?"

"Who else could it be but you?! It must be because you didn't want to marry her that you killed her, or it must be this slut who was jealous of my daughter and killed him because she was jealous of him!"

"You're asking for death!" Shen Zechuan gritted his teeth in anger, and a bolt of lightning struck Zhang Tao.

Little did Zhang Tao know that he had taken precautions and immediately erected an earthen wall to block the way, which blasted the earth into a pile of rubble.

Zhou Yang, who was innocently scolded and left with a mouthful of dust: ? ? ?

Okay, okay, so you're saying he killed someone? Fine!

"Pea! Bite him!" Zhou Yang patted the head of the little pea next to him, then pointed at Zhang Tao.

Upon hearing this, Pea immediately perked up its ears, fixed its gaze on the target, and charged forward.

Zhang Tao thought it was just an ordinary mutated dog and didn't take it seriously. He sneered and threw out a spike: "I'll keep this dog. I'll use it to add to the dishes for the brothers in the group later..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the pea dodged the thorns and appeared in front of Zhang Tao in the blink of an eye, leaping up and biting the root of his thigh.

It's only because it's still in the form of a puppy that it could bite through this person's throat.

"what……!"

Zhang Tao let out a wail and collapsed to the ground. He tried to pry open the dog's mouth, but he couldn't budge it. The dog seemed to be pulling harder and harder. He tried to pull out a knife from his pocket to stab the dog, but Zhou Yang had tied him up tightly with vines. So he could only continue to threaten Zhou Yang.

"You fucking tell your dog to let go, and this damn plant too, or I'll kill you!"

Zhou Yang didn't even bother to respond, only rolling her eyes at the other person.

At this moment, Yu Weijun, who had been watching the show from the back for a while, finally stepped forward. When he saw Zhang Tao lying on the ground in a disheveled state, he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing. He coughed and said, "Hey, Commander Zhang, are you two arguing here? Didn't I tell you? They're not at the base all day, so they couldn't possibly kill your daughter. There's no use in you causing trouble here."

"Hey, young man, let's put the person out for a bit, we'll hurry in and make a record, then you can leave."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang let the peas release their food and withdrew the vines.

As soon as Zhang Tao was freed, he spat at Zhou Yang and the others. Worried that he would be crippled, he hurriedly dragged his bloodied leg toward the base hospital.

Zhou Yang and the others were taken to a small room. After a brief questioning and confirmation that they were not involved in Zhang Nannan's death, they were told they could leave.

However, just a few steps from the questioning room, he bumped into Li Mei, who had also just finished being questioned.

"Huh? You were called in for questioning too? Is it also because of Zhang Nannan?"

Li Mei nodded: "You too, right?"

"Well, we went on a mission early this morning and just got back, so it's none of our business. What about you?"

Li Mei grinned and said, "What a coincidence, I also spent the whole day outside the base with my sisters fighting zombie cores, I wasn't inside the base."

Zhou Yang nodded, didn't say much, then said goodbye to Li Mei and hurried to the service hall to hand in his task.

They showed the clerk the mutated tiger's skin and flesh, along with the egg-sized crystal core. After confirmation, the group received a points reward.

Since they didn't need the mutated tiger meat, they sold it directly to the base. As for the tiger skin, Zhou Yang thought for a moment and figured it could be made into leather clothing, so he kept it.

After leaving the service hall, the group was about to split up and go back. Zhou Yang hurriedly mentioned to Yan Fei the possibility of extreme heat and asked him to remind his father and Bai Jishan.

"I think the world after the apocalypse is even more abnormal than before. The winters were so cold before, and I'm afraid the summers will be just as cold. Ordinary basements and parking lots probably won't be enough to keep us cool. If possible, it would be best to dig an underground shelter in advance, and the deeper the better."

“The meteorological experts in this capital city once proposed, just like you, to dig underground shelters. But because of the previous floods, this proposal was overturned. Let me try to bring it up again.”

Yan Fei thought for a moment and then turned to look at Lu Xingye, "You and your older brother go back first. I'll go to the military headquarters to see my dad and the others now, and also let my uncle know."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingye obediently nodded, got into the car, and went back with Lu Yanwen and Chai Jin.

Zhou Yang and the other two then drove Yan Fei to the military headquarters before turning around and going home.

As for how Yan Fei would get back, they didn't need to worry about that. The military had plenty of cars; if all else failed, he could hitch a ride with his dad or brother.
