Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Fei felt that the energy in his body had been completely replaced. Only after the power that had more than doubled and was even stronger gradually subsided in his body did he open his eyes again.

It was only then that he realized he was covered in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Looking up again, he saw a group of people surrounding him, including his mother and elder brother Yan Qian.

Yan Fei smiled and said, "I've successfully leveled up!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions relaxed.

After asking Yan Fei a few questions, Yan Qian nodded to Yan Fei and his mother, then went downstairs with the superhuman troops who had come to guard him, and returned to the military headquarters to report back.

Yan's mother immediately went downstairs to call Yan's father to share her joy.

After the remaining friends and Brother Yan were finished, they started asking Yan Fei about the upgrade progress, and Yan Fei gave them a general overview.

After listening, everyone was both excited and afraid of the upgrade, but Shen Zechuan was very confident in himself.

While everyone was chatting away, Zhou Yang felt her clothes being tugged. Turning around, she saw Lu Xingye smacking his lips.

"Hey Yangyang, is there any leftover roast chicken? I want some too..."

"Yes, there is." Zhou Yang nodded with a smile, and then took out another roast chicken for him.

As a result, the other people who were chatting stopped talking and all ran over to grab the roast chicken.

Seeing that there weren't enough to go around, Zhou Yang had to take out two more roast chickens.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal and had no interest in paying attention to him, Yan Fei shook his head and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he returned, everyone was already full and their mouths were dripping with oil, especially Yan Xiao, the second brother of the Yan family, who ate so much that he collapsed and lay on the bed, too full to move.

"Tsk, are you a reincarnated starving ghost? You even ate yourself?" Yan Fei kicked his unreliable second brother.

Yan Xiao rolled his eyes at him, and after a while, he sat up again: "Hey, it's been so long since I've had such delicious roast chicken, I couldn't resist."

Zhou Yang only ate a couple of bites and then stopped. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, she took out the herbal tea that she had brewed in advance with diluted spring water from her space and poured a cup for each of them.

Yan Fei, who had just come out of the shower, also got a cup. He took only a small sip and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Although the dried flowers and herbs masked much of the flavor, the taste of this tea was clearly similar to the water I had drunk before, but it wasn't as strong, so it was probably diluted.

Even so, taking a small bite still gives the feeling that your spleen and stomach have been cleansed.

It seems that what Zhou Yang gave him to drink was not ordinary water at all, let alone a special beverage.

Although he couldn't figure out exactly what it was, he could feel that the water had helped him level up.

However, he didn't intend to delve into Zhou Yang's secrets; he just needed to know that this was a trustworthy teammate.

After placing the remaining tea on the coffee table for everyone to help themselves, Zhou Yang took out two knives that he had previously bought at great expense from his spatial storage.

Both knives are quite useful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they can cut through iron like mud. However, since the zombies have leveled up, their usefulness has diminished considerably.

He had been waiting for Yan Fei to reach level five so that Yan Fei could help him reforge the weapon. Today, his time finally came, so he quickly took it out and asked Yan Fei to reforge it for him. That way, he would be able to cut down ordinary level three or four zombies in the future.

"Yan Fei, could you try to reforge these two knives for me? You can use your metal ability to remelt them, and they should be able to cut down level three or four ordinary zombies without any problem."

"I'll give it a try." Yan Fei took the two knives and examined them. One was a military knife, and the other was a Tang sword. The blades gleamed coldly, and both were valuable and fine knives.

Yan Xiao glanced at them as well and immediately commented, "These two knives of yours aren't cheap; they must cost tens of thousands."

Zhou Yang nodded: "It was quite expensive, it cost me 80!" Thinking about it now still hurts a little.

"How many?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked over in surprise.

"80?!" Yan Xiao's eyes widened, then turned to sympathy. "Young man, you've been ripped off, haven't you? These two knives are worth at most a few tens of thousands of yuan..."

"Huh?!" This time it was Zhou Yang's turn to be stunned. "But I bought it from a century-old shop in Shanghai. They even said it was their prized possession. I waited a whole day for them to sharpen it for me..."

“Um… this doesn’t look like a Tibetan knife that’s been around for decades. It’s probably been forged in the last few years at most.” Yan Xiao was speechless and scratched his head. “Besides, what shop sells Tibetan knives that aren’t sharpened? Unless they’ve been left to rust and need to be resharpened.”

Zhou Yang: ...

I'd like to use a vulgar curse word here.

So, he was killed by the knife seller back then?

I really learned my lesson from not knowing anything about knives. I really want to go back in time and slap myself...

Damn it! Make sure he never sees that knife seller again, or he'll definitely get a beating!

Zhou Yang thought angrily.

"Fine, I've already suffered the loss, I might as well reforge it. Can you try it for me first?" Zhou Yang, having calmed down, looked at the knife in Yan Fei's hand again.

Yan Fei nodded, picked up one of the Tang swords, and used his supernatural power to melt part of the blade. Then, he used his supernatural power to refine it again and again, finally reforging a new blade that fit the original hilt. A brand new Tang sword was thus created.

All of this took place right under their noses, without a single spark being seen. Yan Fei used his metal-based supernatural abilities throughout. Because he had previously helped Zhou Yang make metal crossbows, he was quite adept at reforging the Tang sword this time.

After Yan Fei finished, he handed it to Zhou Yang: "Why don't you give it a try?"

Seeing the Tang sword in front of him, which was even sharper than before, Zhou Yang's eyes lit up. He took it and swung it around in his hand, feeling that the sword was lighter than before.

Then he turned around, took out a piece of stainless steel, placed it between two stools, and with one slash, there was a loud "clang" as the stainless steel was instantly cut into two pieces and fell to the ground.

The knife, forged with Level 5 metal-enhancing abilities, was indeed a step above. This white steel is considered the hardest of all steels; he barely used any force to cut it in two, demonstrating just how sharp the knife was.

"Very good, it's much better than before." Zhou Yang put away the knife with satisfaction. "Help me reforge the other one like this too."

Yan Fei nodded, picked up the other military knife and followed the same pattern, quickly finishing as well.

Zhou Yang didn't even bother to try this time, and simply put it into his spatial storage along with the Tang sword.

"By the way, should we have the Tibetan knives you left with me reforged now, just in case we need them later?" Zhou Yang asked, remembering the Tibetan knives that Shen Zechuan and the others had left with him.

"Alright, give them all to me." Yan Fei thought for a moment and nodded. Anyway, he was idle now, and he had a lot of energy to spare, so he might as well use it to forge swords.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang took out several hidden knives from his spatial storage. After thinking for a moment, he also took out a heavy crossbow, metal crossbow bolts, and several commonly used short knives and daggers.

Since Yan Fei is already working, it shouldn't be a problem if he does a little more.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Fei's bed was filled with all sorts of knives and crossbows by Zhou Yang.

"Well, how about we get these done while we're at it?" Zhou Yang said, rubbing his nose.

Yan Fei glanced at them and nodded: "These knives are easy, I can get them done right away. It's these two crossbow bolts that might take a bit longer, there are more parts, it might take me half a day. You're not in a hurry to leave, are you?"

"No rush, no rush, but could you also get me a new batch of metal arrowheads?" Zhou Yang said, taking out a large pile of arrows from his spatial storage and pointing to the arrowheads.

Yan Fei glanced at the arrow: "Okay."
