Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Zhou Yang asked, puzzled, "Then how come I heard you wanted to rent this place right away?"

"Well, I was looking for you, so I just rented the apartment upstairs from you. Who knew I'd find out yesterday that so many people were living downstairs? I thought something had happened to you, so I used the mutated plants to check if you were still alive."

"Then why did you look for me? And how did you know I live here?"

"I was just looking for you to hang out. As for your address, we already knew it when you settled here." Chi Feng tilted his head. "Right, honey?"

Ni Fan sat to the side and nodded.

Zhou Yang was so shocked by these words that she almost jumped up. "What?! Where did you know that?"

Chi Feng smiled and said, "Honey, there's a profession called hacker. My husband is one, and a top-tier one at that. Knowing your whereabouts is a piece of cake for him."

"No way, why are you investigating me if you have nothing better to do?!"

“Well, I think we need to talk about this separately.” Chi Feng didn’t answer directly, but just looked at Zhou Yang with a mysterious smile.

Zhou Yang was speechless for a moment. Thinking that the other person's boyfriend was a top hacker, and then recalling the post she had made online, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

Damn, could it be because of these few prophetic posts that I've caught their attention...?

Seeing Zhou Yang's sudden change in expression, Chi Feng guessed that he had connected the dots, so he suggested, "How about it? Would you like to talk to me alone?"

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and was about to agree when Shen Zechuan spoke first: "No, you have to talk under our noses."

"Tsk, then let's just go a little further away, over to the dining table, okay?" Chi Feng rolled his eyes and pointed to the restaurant not far away, separated only by a glass wall.

Looking at the restaurant separated only by glass, Shen Zechuan finally let go of her hand.

Zhou Yang then followed Chi Feng into the restaurant.

As soon as he sat down, Chi Feng shouted to one of his teammates on the sofa, "Yuanshan, use your special ability to create a wall around yourselves to make sure no one can hear you."

“Okay!” Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanshan immediately erected a mental barrier around several sofas, directly blocking out the outside sounds.

Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei were inside when they suddenly could only hear the breathing of the people inside. All the noise outside had disappeared. They were shocked and stood up.

Seeing their panic, Ni Fan spoke up, "Don't worry, Xiao Feng is just talking to him and doesn't want anyone to hear. He'll be fine."

After saying that, he even had the leisure to brew a cup of tea for each of them.

Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei glanced at the two people in the restaurant who seemed to be talking peacefully, then suppressed their urge to fight and sat back down.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang, who had sat down in the restaurant, couldn't wait to ask Chi Feng after he sat down, "Why are you investigating me?!"

Chi Feng looked over with a long gaze: "Shouldn't you have realized it already? You posted a few prophetic posts, you didn't think no one noticed, did you?"

Zhou Yang immediately nodded and said, "I knew someone would notice, and I even hoped that more people would notice, so that more people could survive..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Feng's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief: "Tsk, are you someone who was reborn from the apocalypse? So kind-hearted? If you hadn't been lucky enough to run into me, you would definitely have been dissected!"

Zhou Yang: !!!

"How did you know I was reborn? Do you have precognitive abilities? But that doesn't make sense..." Zhou Yang paused, instinctively thinking the other person had precognitive abilities, but upon closer inspection, it didn't add up; the timing didn't match. Then another possibility popped into her mind, "You wouldn't happen to be reborn too, would you?!"

"Hmm!" Chi Feng raised an eyebrow, not denying it.

Zhou Yang opened her mouth, but couldn't speak. She felt incredulous, and after a long while, she stammered:

"I was reborn in the third year of the apocalypse, three months before it began. What about you?"

Chi Feng rested his chin on his hand and said, "Oh, I've been here longer than you. I came back from the seventh year, and I returned to the year before the apocalypse."

"That's great... I've only had three months, not enough time for detailed planning and preparation," Zhou Yang exclaimed. "So, you noticed it when I posted my first message?"

Chi Feng nodded: "Yeah. When I first saw the post, I knew the poster was probably a reincarnated person who hadn't survived the apocalypse for very long, yet still possessed humanity. Considering we were both reincarnated and he was such a kind-hearted person, I had my husband change his IP address."

I really didn't expect you to keep posting even after you moved. But I'm a good person, so I'll see this through and have my husband continue to cover for you. Tell me, why are you so troublesome?

"Uh, thank you." Zhou Yang rubbed his nose. "I didn't think that much about it at the time. I thought it would be safe to post using a secondary account in an internet cafe..."

He wasn't a computer science major and didn't know much about this field, so he had no idea there were so many twists and turns involved.

"Ahem, don't thank me too soon. We were too busy on the last day and didn't have time to deal with things online. I didn't expect you to post that day either, and by the time I saw it, it was too late. Hmm, I guess your real IP has already been traced. But luckily it was the last day, so even if they traced it, it's useless; they can't catch up. In this respect, you still have some sense."

Zhou Yang: ...Thank you.

After a brief silence, Chi Feng asked the question he had noticed since they met: "By the way, don't you have spatial abilities? How come I can't tell your level? Is your ability higher than mine?"

He discovered that his plant powers had returned with him after his rebirth. After the apocalypse began, he found a very strong mutated wild rose from his memories and subdued it as soon as his consciousness was generated. After that, he killed many mutated plants with the wild rose and used the elemental core to level up, which allowed him to quickly reach level 6.

There shouldn't be any other shortcuts for other superpowers, right?

Just as he was muttering to himself, Zhou Yang glanced at him sideways and said, "I'm not as abnormal as you. My spatial ability is just a bit special, undetectable, and my evolutionary path is a bit different. I don't have spatial skills, but my space is exceptionally large and doesn't change. But how did you know I have a spatial ability?"

Chi Feng suddenly realized: "Ah, so you have that kind of trashy spatial ability from legend. But it's okay, your teammates and your boyfriend are pretty strong. As for how they know about your ability... you hoarded so much stuff before the apocalypse, and you could fill a whole truck every time, so you must have awakened your spatial ability beforehand."

"..." Zhou Yang paused for a moment when she heard her space being criticized, and then looked over in surprise when she heard what followed: "You know I hoard goods?"

"Well, we were just bored at the time, so I asked my husband to check on you. Otherwise, I'd be so bored lying around waiting for the apocalypse for the last two months. We even deleted a lot of surveillance footage for you, but you're welcome, you paid us later, so we didn't work for nothing."

"..." Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, wondering when he had paid any money. Then, he remembered the 80 yuan he had been ripped off and suddenly realized what had happened.

"So you recognized me when I bought the knife at my shop? You deliberately ripped me off for almost 80?!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "Tsk, how can you call that slaughtering? That's the consulting fee you're paying, okay?"

Zhou Yang: "..."

Okay, you win!
