Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

The person talking to the patrol team leader was Yan Fei.

The two had worked on the same mission before the apocalypse, so they knew each other. They bumped into each other by chance and exchanged a few words to catch up.

Unexpectedly, these few words actually increased the credibility of their recruitment.

After Yan Fei saw off his old comrade-in-arms, he came to his senses and saw a young man standing in front of the stall. He looked very refined and was wearing a white lab coat, clearly a researcher.

"Um...I heard you're hiring researchers here?"

"Yes, our Baijishan base is recruiting a number of researchers due to the needs of base development. The compensation and benefits are excellent. You can consider it!"

"But I'm just an ordinary researcher in agriculture, am I entitled to this kind of treatment?"

"Of course! This is already the salary for a basic research fellow. If you're a senior research fellow, the salary will definitely be even better! Besides, agriculture is so important right now. If you go there, you'll definitely shine!" Yan Fei said, patting his chest. Anyway, he was only concerned with bringing the person back; as for the specific salary, he'd let his uncle worry about that!

Upon hearing this, the man's heart warmed, and he immediately decided to sign up to go to the Baijishan base.

The capital city is nice, but there are too many researchers here. He is a recent graduate student, and so far he can only be responsible for things like looking at test tubes and watering plants, which is barely enough to make ends meet.

Anyway, he's all alone now, so it doesn't matter if he moves to another place.

After the first person took the lead in signing up, those who had been hesitant began to get restless, and one after another, several more people signed up.

However, most of them are ordinary researchers. It's rare to find one professor, but that's because his hometown and relatives are in Anhui Province, so he wanted to go back and visit.

By evening, when the research institute closed for the day, seven of the applicants had already filled out their registration forms.

One of them is a professor in the biology department, two are PhDs in physics, and one is a PhD in agriculture and forestry. The other three are all master's level researchers, some in agriculture and some in physics.

Although it wasn't much, it far exceeded their expectations.

After packing up their stall, on the way back, the group discussed their plans and decided to hold another recruitment event the next day, and then set off back to Baijishan the day after tomorrow.

The main problem is that the temperature is getting hot really fast. It's only the beginning of May and it's already approaching 40 degrees Celsius. We really can't afford to delay any longer.

After returning home, they all told their families about their decision. Although they were a little reluctant to leave the capital, they didn't say much and started packing their luggage that very evening.

Knowing that Zhou Yang, a super spatial ability user, was present, no one kept anything, determined to take everything they could.

Xu Qingtang and He Shanshan also resigned from their jobs at the hospital and went back to help Yu Jing pack her luggage and supplies.

On the Yan family's side, Yan's father and mother were naturally reluctant to let their youngest son go far away, but they were even more worried about Gu Tianqi taking his daughter alone in Baijishan, so they could only ask Yan Fei to go and help him.

Anyway, both he and his wife are superhumans, and they have two sons who are also superhumans, so there's nothing to worry about. The eldest son is steady and has been married and had children for a long time. He works in the military and helps his strict father. The second son seems unreliable, but he has good superhuman talent and is about to reach level 5. He can also help the family.

However, a mother worries about her son even when he is far away. The strict mother still felt sorry for him, so she prepared a lot of supplies for them to take with them, including a lot of supplies for Gu Yaoyao.

The next day, Yan Fei and his team went to the research institute again to recruit, and also informed the researchers who had already signed up of the departure time, urging them to resign as soon as possible and pack their bags. They also informed the team that there were space-age individuals in the group, and they could bring as much stuff as they wanted.

By the end of the day, the group had recruited another PhD in chemistry, a PhD in informatics, and two ordinary biology researchers.

Although they still didn't recruit any academicians, the group was quite satisfied.

The next morning, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan got up early. After having breakfast, they packed up all the things in the house and then went to Yan Fei's house to collect his things.

After saying goodbye to the Yan family, the group went to the Lu and Chai families and put all the luggage and supplies that Chai Yi had not been able to pack into their space.

The sight of everything disappearing from the room with a wave of the hand filled Xiao Chaiyi, who had only upgraded to level 3 spatial ability and had only slightly increased its capacity, with immense envy.

After collecting their own people's belongings, everyone arrived at the base gate at the agreed time and place, waiting for the researchers who had registered.

Since several people were traveling with their families, they estimated they had a lot of luggage, so no one was in a hurry.

While waiting, Zhou Yang brought out two more vans. If you squeeze them in, each van can hold at least seven or eight people.

After waiting for about half an hour, people started arriving one after another, dragging large and small bags. Most of them were either alone or young couples with relatively simple luggage.

After Zhou Yang helped them put their luggage into his space, he arranged for them to get into one of the cars first.

By the time the last PhD student, who had brought his family, got on the bus, it was already past 8 a.m.

Just as I was about to make arrangements for the personnel and prepare to depart, a series of urgent shouts came from behind.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhou Yang thought the name sounded familiar, so he turned around and saw Li Mei, dressed in black, running towards him with a dashing air.

"Phew! Luckily we made it in time. You guys really do leave on a whim. Good thing I asked around last night." Li Mei said, panting, as she took out two level 4 crystal cores from her backpack. "Here you go, one is a level 4 space crystal core, and the other is a level 4 speed crystal core! I finally managed to get them, and they almost went down the drain."

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up as he looked at the two crystal cores. He picked them up to check them, then took out five boxes of medicine.

"One pill for two boxes, four boxes in total. Consider the extra box a bonus. Wishing your brother a speedy recovery."

"Thank you! But will you come to the capital again next time?" Li Mei took the medicine and stuffed it into her backpack.

"I'll probably come again, but I don't know when the next time will be, since the Baijishan base is quite far from here," Zhou Yang said with a shrug.

“Baiji Mountain…” Li Mei murmured upon hearing this, “That’s quite far. If you don’t come soon, I’ll probably have to come looking for you…”

"Haha, then I'll welcome you in advance on behalf of the Baijishan Base. It's much simpler and safer over there than in the capital."

Hearing this, Li Mei smiled and said, "Then I'll definitely go see it if I have the chance. Alright, I won't keep you from leaving any longer. See you again sometime!"

"Alright, see you again sometime!"

Zhou Yang smiled, then waved to Li Mei before turning and getting into the car.

The group, in five cars, driven by Yan Fei, Shen Zechuan, Lu Yanwen, Chai Jin, and Xu Zhiyi respectively, headed south after leaving the capital base.
