Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Zhou Yang didn't have any special abilities, so he couldn't sense other people's levels. He just noticed that the atmosphere had suddenly become a bit tense, so after sitting down, he tugged at Shen Zechuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zechuan then whispered in Zhou Yang's ear, "I can't tell the level of the person who opened the door for us just now, and I can't tell the level of the person sitting at the very back now. If only one of them is an ordinary person, then the other one is at least at the peak of level 5 or level 6."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang was stunned. She couldn't help but glance at the man furthest inside and the knife seller who had gone straight to sit down next to him after entering.

Peak level 5? Level 6? Holy crap! What the hell is this?

In his previous life, he only heard about Level 5 ability users at the end of the second year, and it hasn't even been a year yet...

He thought that under his influence, Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei had leveled up fast enough, but he didn't expect that there could be even faster progress!

Zhou Yang and the other two remained silent, while the four people opposite them sat calmly without moving.

Feeling extremely awkward, Shen Zechuan coughed lightly, then took the things from Yan Fei and Zhou Yang's hands and placed them one by one on the coffee table in front of him.

"This is the mutated beef and chilled watermelon we brought. I don't know if you've eaten yet, why don't you guys try some?"

The knife seller smiled and said, "You're too kind. We just finished eating too, but thank you anyway."

"You're welcome. May I ask which one of you is Captain Chi Feng?"

"That's me." The knife seller raised his eyes, his smile undiminished.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang and the other two felt a pang of anxiety.

The registration form listed Captain Chi Feng as a Level 4 plant ability user, but now it seems he should be at least a Level 5 peak user.

The base doesn't allow concealing one's abilities, so he misrepresented his level?

It's also because no one else in the base has a Level 5 ability user yet, which is why no one has seen through it.

But now that they've encountered Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei, the problem immediately becomes apparent.

The problem is that they only have a vague guess about each other, but their respective levels are as clear as black and white in each other's eyes.

Although they didn't think the other side would dare to do anything to them, the feeling of being lambs to the slaughter was truly unbearable.

After a long pause, Shen Zechuan said calmly, "I've heard that Captain Chi Feng is a level 4 plant ability user, but seeing him today, he doesn't seem like it..."

From the moment Chi Feng saw the two of them, he knew that he probably couldn't hide his superpower level anymore.

Although he hadn't actually expected that someone would reach level 5 so quickly, and there were even two of them at level 5, it made sense considering that Zhou Yang was among them.

However, he wasn't too worried. His abilities were more than enough to handle these people, and besides, he knew Zhou Yang very well, even though the other party might not know him very well...

Thinking about it, Chi Feng's smile deepened. He didn't pay much attention to the eye contact between the three people opposite him. In fact, when he heard them ask him a question, he nodded and readily admitted his level.

"Yes, I am actually a level 6 ability user."

Zhou Yang and the other two: !!

Holy crap! He really is a level 6 ability user! That freak!

Chi Feng directly announced his true ability level, which surprised not only Zhou Yang and the other two, but also his three teammates.

The man sitting next to Chi Feng grabbed Chi Feng's hand and asked silently until Chi Feng shook his head at him, at which point he stopped.

Chi Feng shrugged: "You don't need to be so surprised. I only applied for Level 4 because I didn't want to be the first to stick my neck out and wanted to keep a low profile and avoid trouble. It's not like I'm going to report to the police."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan's lips twitched: "You were the one who activated your superpower this morning and controlled the mutated plant to come down, right? Is this what you call being low-key?"

"Hehe, I just need to check out the downstairs neighbors. You're afraid I'll ambush you, and I'm afraid you'll ambush me too. Besides, the reason I'm controlling the mutated plants down there is really just to verify something."

Yan Fei, who was standing to the side, paused, frowned, and asked, "What do you want to verify?"

"Hmm, just checking if that big idiot is still alive?" Chi Feng brushed a stray hair from his forehead and then turned to look in Zhou Yang's direction.

The others also looked over.

Zhou Yang, suddenly surrounded by a crowd: ...?

What the hell? Why are you all looking at him? He doesn't even know this person!

After a long while, Chi Feng was still looking at him, and Zhou Yang became less certain. So he asked in a hesitant tone, "We probably only met twice when we were buying the knife, and then we haven't had any other interaction, right?"

“Yes, we’ve only met twice.” Chi Feng thought for a moment and nodded.

Zhou Yang was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Chi Feng wink at him again: "But from another perspective, I know you quite well. Well, I should be one of the people in the world who know you best."

Zhou Yang: ? ? ?

Zhou Yang was completely confused. Before he could figure it out, Shen Zechuan next to him lost his composure and grabbed Zhou Yang's hand, half-hugging him: "Take your eyes off him, he's my boyfriend!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang's eyes widened. He felt that Shen Zechuan's eyes and thought process were probably a bit off. No matter how he looked at it, Chi Feng didn't seem interested in him. Besides, didn't he see that Chi Feng and the man next to him were holding hands?

Chi Feng felt a pang of jealousy watching Shen Zechuan assert his dominance. He looked at Zhou Yang with a hint of pity: "How did you end up with such a dim-witted man? You're jealous over this? It's like nobody doesn't have a boyfriend! Let me introduce you, my boyfriend—Ni Fan!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, which was interlocked with Ni Fan's, for the person opposite her to see.

Upon seeing this, Shen Zechuan immediately felt that his actions were somewhat embarrassing. However, he also blamed Chi Fengjing for saying things that sounded ambiguous, so he simply rolled his eyes at her: "You have a boyfriend, yet you still say ambiguous things?"

"Is this considered flirting?" Chi Feng looked puzzled, then turned to Ni Fan. "Honey, was I being flirtatious just now?"

Ni Fan's cold face was expressionless, only showing a hint of warmth when he looked at Chi Feng. When Chi Feng asked him, he simply nodded and said, "Okay, don't say it next time."

Chi Feng: ...Tsk, I forgot that my own husband is also a jealous type.

"Pfft!" Zhou Yang looked at the two people opposite him and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing the sound, Chi Feng looked over and muttered with a pout, "What are you laughing at?! Haven't you ever seen any couple's romantic moments before?"

Then he cleared his throat, looked at Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei and smiled, "By the way, we've been chatting for so long, but I still don't know your names."

Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei then introduced themselves.

"Shen Zechuan, captain of the Hidden Dragon Squad."

"Yan Fei, deputy captain of the Hidden Dragon Squad."

"Tsk, so you guys are the legendary Qianlong Squad in the base, with connections that seem to reach the heavens."

Zhou Yang and the other two: ? ? ?

"When did we open up such a huge back door?"

"We heard about it when we came here the day before yesterday. The Hidden Dragon Squad, the base commander's nephew's team, even the officials have to give them some leeway. They're strong too, they're definitely not someone to mess with!"

The three of them were completely dumbfounded. They clearly worked more for the base, delivering supplies when things were calm, and covering for the enemy when things got tough...

"So you don't actually know us, and you didn't rent the apartment upstairs from us because of the Hidden Dragon Squad?" Yan Fei finally understood; these people didn't know the Hidden Dragon Squad at all.

Chi Feng frowned: "Tsk, if I had known that the Hidden Dragon Squad was living below me, I would have definitely moved to a house far away from here..."
