Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Putting aside the Xingcheng earthquake for the time being, Zhou Yang went to the foreign internet again to take a look.

In his previous life, he never thought about the end of the world, so he only paid attention to disasters in China and didn't know much about what was happening outside the country.

But if given another chance, Zhou Yang felt that there must be many unusual clues abroad as well.

He browsed through a famous Facebook page, and although most of the posts were meaningless, he still found quite a few different things.

A blogger from a small Nordic country said that their climate is cold year-round, and although summer is approaching, temperatures are generally only between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius.

However, the temperature suddenly rose to over 30 degrees Celsius in the past few days, causing the snow and ice in the surrounding mountains to melt rapidly, and there was also unusual continuous heavy rain, which led to the first flood in their area.

The area is mostly comprised of small buildings, and now they're all flooded.

Another story involves a girl from Australia who said that her family's cattle and sheep suddenly died in large numbers, and the cause of death is still unknown. And it's not just their farm; livestock on almost every farm in Australia is dying in large numbers.

In addition, there is an American man who lives in the Gulf of Mexico. Recently, seabirds coming from the sea have been committing suicide in his area.

In just a few days, tens of thousands of seabirds have died, leaving almost every household in the area with undamaged windows. Local zoologists are still unable to determine the cause of the seabirds' suicides, and the local residents are driven to the brink of madness.

Such unusual occurrences are commonplace, happening in almost every country that can be named, suggesting that things are not peaceful abroad either.

Among so many unusual events, one caught Zhou Yang's attention.

That was a blog post by a blogger who was also from the United States and lived in California.

He said that the local animals have been very irritable lately, frequently entering and leaving the city, and there have been several incidents of them injuring people.

The blogger suspected an earthquake might be imminent, but the University of California had already monitored the situation and found nothing.

Netizens commented that an earthquake was unlikely, but it's possible that the United States, which is constantly causing trouble, is about to perish.

The abnormal behavior of animals in California was strikingly similar to the precursors to the Star City earthquake. If I remember correctly, in my previous life, just three days after the Star City earthquake, California also experienced a massive 9.8 magnitude earthquake.

Similar to Star City, California has not experienced an earthquake in nearly a century, and no one believed that an earthquake would happen.

Therefore, when the Hayward Fault, San Jacinto Fault, and San Andreas Fault all shifted simultaneously, California experienced a direct rupture earthquake.

Yes, a ruptured earthquake! A massive ruptured earthquake at that!

There is no buffer zone, no safe zone!

The entire state of California was completely torn apart and collapsed underground!

Just over ten minutes later, a tsunami struck, instantly engulfing the entire area.

Once a thriving state, California was instantly submerged by the sea.

This disaster affected more than 5 million people, but only tens of thousands of survivors were ultimately counted, and almost none survived in California.

This was not the strongest earthquake in world history, but it was the deadliest.

The disaster in California shocked the world, and many countries sent rescue teams, including China, which dispatched a rescue team.

At the time, countries around the world were suffering from various natural disasters, and domestic attention was mostly focused on the Star City earthquake. In addition, the disaster-stricken area was the notorious United States, so this major earthquake did not receive much attention.

Thinking of the devastating consequences for California, Zhou Yang couldn't help but shake his head.

Then I logged out of the internet.

He did not leave any comments on his blog posts on the external network. First, he did not have an account, and second, he did not want to attract attention.

Besides, we can't even handle our own domestic disasters, how can we have time to worry about things abroad?

Moreover, the disasters before the apocalypse are far from over. Take our own country, for example; a super typhoon is on its way.

This typhoon will wreak havoc on cities along the entire coast, and inland areas will also experience torrential rains, with some areas even suffering landslides and floods.

Meanwhile, Baijishan will also experience at least a severe rainstorm.

The next day, Zhou Yang arrived at the warehouse early and took out all the donated supplies that he had prepared in advance.

Once the rescue convoy arrives with an empty truck, let them take it away directly.

After seeing off the rescue convoy, Zhou Yang quickly drove home while the sun was still low.

Sigh, I hope this typhoon comes soon, it's just too hot today.

Whether it was Zhou Yang's prayers that worked or not, the first strong typhoon, Mira, which was originally scheduled to make landfall on Taiwan Island a week later, arrived ahead of schedule.

After wreaking havoc on the island of Wanwan, Mela headed straight for the southeastern coast.

Thanks to the typhoon, the high temperatures across the country have been significantly reduced.

Temperatures have started to drop noticeably in southeastern coastal cities. In just two days, temperatures plummeted from 50 degrees Celsius to the 30s, and are still falling.

The sudden drop in temperature made the rescue work in Xingcheng much smoother. Rescue teams pulled batches of survivors from under the rubble. However, these numbers were still far too few compared to the number of victims.

With the temperature dropping, delivery drivers across the country have started working again. Zhou Yang began ordering all sorts of takeout every day, from milk tea and desserts to fried chicken and hamburgers, and even gourmet meals, until he maxed out the monthly payment limits on several takeout platforms.

The early arrival of Typhoon Miela gave him a bad feeling; this time, the apocalypse might be coming sooner than expected.

He still has over 200 million yuan on hand, and he needs to spend some of it.

So Zhou Yang urgently went to purchase several batches of grain, oil, and daily necessities. After two or three days, he only had 30 yuan left for emergencies.

After finishing all that, Zhou Yang resumed his days of staying at home, with his only task each day being to keep an eye on the typhoon's movements.

Typhoon Miela was not actually very destructive, but it was followed by its super typhoon brother, Typhoon Beacon. The two met and merged on the eastern coast, and then made landfall along the coast and moved north until they gradually dissipated at the Sino-Russian border.

Its destructive power was the strongest in history, causing enormous losses to coastal cities.

That day, Zhou Yang, who had been watching all day, finally spotted a newly formed sea whirlpool. Although it was just a number at the moment, he knew it was a lighthouse.
