Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang looked at Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei, and seeing that neither of them objected, he nodded and said:

"We can consider takeout, but you'll have to exchange it for supplies, and we're not responsible for door-to-door delivery."

"Tsk, what supplies do you need?"

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and figured that Chi Feng had been reborn longer than him and seemed to be very wealthy, so he must have stockpiled more supplies than him. Considering that the other party had just mentioned grenades, he tentatively asked, "Gasoline? Or... grenades?"

As soon as Zhou Yang spoke, Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything.

Chi Feng stared wide-eyed, speechless, before finally saying angrily, "Do you think this deal is fair?"

Zhou Yang glanced at him, said nothing, and then took things out of her spatial storage one by one—

Chicken, duck, goose, rabbit, pork, beef, mutton, all kinds of river fish, all kinds of seafood...

Green vegetables, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, potatoes, green peppers...

Apples, oranges, mangoes, grapes, plums, prunes...

They didn't stop until the coffee table was overflowing.

A table full of fresh food, especially the fruit, made Chi Feng and the others envious.

“I have even more space~” Zhou Yang’s lips curled up slightly at the end of her sentence, then she turned and put everything away again. “I guess the supplies you collected are all durable goods that keep well. You probably don’t have much fresh food like this, right? How about it, consider it?”

Chi Feng pursed his lips: "Deal! Let's start with a half-month package!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and beckoned to the back of the sofa where he was sitting. Then, a tortoiseshell cat the size of a tiger stretched and strolled out leisurely.

"Huajuan, throw out two small wooden boxes."

Huajuan glanced at Chifeng, then raised a paw, and two wooden boxes the size of television sets appeared beside her.

"Hey, two boxes of grenades, in exchange for two meals a day for our team for half a month. Don't worry, just take the vegetables, we'll take care of the staple food ourselves."

Zhou Yang gestured for Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan to go and check it out. After the two confirmed it, he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, just come down and pick up your food on time every day. We guarantee at least four dishes and a soup. But you can't be picky. We'll give you whatever we make that day, but we'll make sure there's meat and vegetables in every meal and try not to repeat any dishes."

“No problem! I’ll have Yu Hui pick it up then.” Chi Feng had no objections; anyway, it would taste better than what they made themselves.

Having confirmed that the team upstairs was a viable long-term partner, the three of them went downstairs shortly after Zhou Yang put away the grenades.

As soon as they went downstairs, the others surrounded the three of them.

"So? Is the squad upstairs a threat?"

Shen Zechuan shook his head: "It seems there isn't any at the moment."

"Then why did they bring down a mutated plant?"

"Their captain seems to know Zhou Yang and came looking for him."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Yang, including Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei, who were also very curious.

Zhou Yang scratched his head and gave a reason he had thought of while he was upstairs: "Before the apocalypse, I met Chi Feng online. I mentioned moving to him briefly and then forgot about it. I only remembered it when I talked to him just now. He mainly wanted to see me this time."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Yan Fei was still not entirely at ease: "Let's observe them a little longer, after all, the other party is a level 6 ability user."

"Level 6?! Isn't it level 4?"

Upon hearing that the other party was actually a level 6 ability user, the others' hearts were in their throats again.

"Yes, plant-based abilities can be upgraded by finding the cores of mutated plants, so they level up relatively quickly."

"Tsk, I'm envious..." Lu Xingye clicked his tongue.

Yan Fei ruffled Lu Xingye's hair: "Don't be envious. Hurry up and improve your superpower, then you can defeat him. A plant without water is just a dead thing."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingye's eyes lit up: "That's right!"

……

Afterwards, Zhou Yang mentioned to Yu Jing that the person upstairs wanted to exchange two boxes of hand grenades for a half-month meal package.

Seeing that her skills could be of help, Yu Jing immediately agreed and even produced a two-week catering schedule that evening.

Every day at noon and in the evening, after cooking meals for their own people, they would also set aside four dishes and a soup for the team upstairs, which would be given to Yu Hui, who was in charge of picking up the food each time.

Yu Hui was tall and strong, but he had a very sweet tongue. He kept calling Yu Jing "pretty auntie" and made her very happy. In just a couple of days, they became familiar with each other.

Occasionally, he would bribe Yu Jing with supplies so she could cook an extra dish they wanted the next day. Yu Jing had nothing else to do besides cooking at home, so she would cook for him as well.

Spurred on by the Level 6 ability user upstairs, Lu Yanwen, Lu Xingye, and Chai Jin all actively absorbed crystal cores and successively leveled up to Level 4.

Zhou Yang then took the opportunity to announce that he had successfully upgraded and that his space had increased considerably.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these past few days. It's not even mid-May yet, but we've already entered a period of high temperatures, with temperatures reaching over 40 degrees Celsius every day.

At the trading market, everyone gradually started setting up stalls at night, and Zhou Yang and his group also changed their shop to open at night.

Even the renovation work downstairs was temporarily suspended after only the floor tiles on both sides were laid.

Everyone decided to make do with this place for a while and continue later when the heatwave subsided.

So after hanging curtains and installing air conditioners in both houses, Chai Jin's family of four, Lu's family of three, and Yan Fei moved downstairs.

Everyone unanimously gave up the house opposite Zhou Yang's house to the Xu family, who had the most female members.

Although we live separately, we still eat together. It's more convenient that way, so everyone can eat more dishes and avoid waste.

As for cooking, Yu Jing has taken care of it all by herself.

However, other people who are free at home will take turns to lend a hand.

That evening, everyone gathered together for dinner again.

Even though there was air conditioning, I was still sweating after eating.

"It's so hot today. And it feels like it's getting hotter than last year."

“You’re not mistaken, it’s getting hotter, and the temperature has risen several degrees.” Zhou Yang nodded, then turned to Yan Fei, “By the way, did you talk to Uncle Gu about building the underground shelter?”

Yan Fei nodded: "I told you, my uncle chose a central location in each underground parking lot as the entrance and exit, and then dug a shelter 3 meters deep from the underground parking lot. Like the previous underground granary, it was waterproofed, but in order to ensure survival, many ventilation openings were added."

"Is it finished already?"

"Yes, it was almost finished before we came back, and it's probably completed now."

"Should we reserve a house in the shelter in advance? Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome to fight for a house later."

Yan Fei nodded: "My uncle had already reserved some for us. They're located in the lower part of this complex, not far from the entrance. However, because there are limited units, we only got two, each with three bedrooms and a living room."

The only problem is that the bathroom and kitchen are shared. So it'll probably be quite inconvenient if we want to cook.
