Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Following the map provided by Gu Tianqi, the group found their house.

Upon opening the door, I saw a bare house, which was roughly divided into four parts: three rooms and a small living room.

All around were bare cement walls, and apart from the most basic lighting circuits, there wasn't even a water pipe. Even a pre-apocalyptic home was many times better than this.

Zhou Yang sighed, "It's good that I came down to take a look first. But the place is so small, a large generator definitely won't work. I can only use a small gasoline generator. Luckily, I have a few in my space."

Air conditioning probably can't be installed underground, but fortunately there are a few air coolers in the space, which can be connected to the generator to be used.

However, Zhou Yang was more worried about something else than the heat.

You can use public restrooms to go to the toilet, but what about taking a shower? You can't exactly go to a public restroom to shower, can you?

That's so uncomfortable. It's like you haven't washed at all, and it's not safe for girls either.

Zhou Yang looked around and was not very satisfied: "We need to find a way to make room for a bathroom, otherwise it will be too inconvenient."

Xu Qingtang raised both hands in agreement: "I agree too. It would be best to build another toilet. I don't really want to use public toilets!"

Zhou Yang didn't really want to use the public restroom; it must be very dirty with so many people. However, this meant that the land would have to be renovated.

"Then we'll have to find an earth-type ability user to help with the renovation, otherwise Guang Yanfei alone won't be able to dig up this land."

Shen Zechuan suddenly remembered that there was a level 4 earth-type ability user in their team upstairs, so he suggested, "Isn't there an earth-type ability user in the team next door? Can we ask him to help us renovate a few rooms? As for space, we can always squeeze some in."

Zhou Yang nodded: "I think it's a good idea, and Chi Feng and the others probably want to make the changes too. I'll go over and ask them tonight."

After inspecting the two houses, the group unanimously decided to knock down the wall between the two houses and the corridor, then remove and seal off the front door of the second house, and convert the living room into a bedroom.

In this way, besides leaving a living room on the left side of the house, and leaving a room in the middle as a washroom, the remaining rooms are enough for living.

In the house on the left, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan share a room, Yu Jing and Xu Qingtang share a room, Xu Zhiyi and He Shanshan share a room, and Wandou and the others sleep in the living room.

In the house on the right, after setting aside a washroom, the Chai couple slept in one room with Chai Yi, Chai Jin, Lu Yanwen, and Uncle Li slept in another room, and Yan Fei and Lu Xingye slept in yet another room.

Make perfect use of all the space.

After making the plans, everyone hurriedly returned to the 18th floor.

Because they were in a hurry to come down and check the shelter, no one had time to eat dinner. So as soon as they got back, Yu Jing, Xu Qingtang, and He Shanshan went to cook.

The rest of Zhou Yang and the others were not idle either. They started drawing and writing on paper, thinking about how to renovate the restroom.

A shower and a toilet are a must. A sink can be made from any metal rack with a basin on it, and the used water can be used to flush the toilet. However, a large septic tank needs to be dug underground, since we don't know how many years we'll be living in this extreme heat.

However, this means they will have to install a separate water pipe and a large water tank.

Fortunately, the downstairs neighbors had done some renovations before, so they're familiar with the job now.

After the group finished discussing, Yu Jing and the others had also prepared dinner.

After quickly finishing dinner, Yu Hui from upstairs came down to get the groceries.

Zhou Yang then told him that he had something to discuss with Chi Feng, and then went upstairs with Yu Hui. Shen Zechuan, worried about him, followed behind.

As soon as they entered the room, Chi Feng clicked his tongue and said, "You don't come here unless you have something to say. What are you up to now?"

Zhou Yang glanced at him sideways: "Am I the kind of person who would cause trouble for no reason? I came up here to ask to borrow someone from you. Can you lend me this earth-type ability user brother?" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Yu Hui.

Why are you looking for Yu Hui?

"We just checked out the underground shelter, and it's too basic. It only has three rooms and a living room, and there's not even a place to wash up, so we're thinking of renovating it. Your shelter is probably the same. How about we renovate it together?"

"Tsk, they're all so rudimentary."

Chi Feng wasn't surprised at all. The underground shelters at the Shanghai base in his previous life were in a similar state, but back then they didn't have the materials to modify them. Now that they had the means to renovate them, they naturally made them as comfortable as possible.

"Change it! Change it! When are you going to start the renovation? I'll have Yu Hui come and help you."

"Start work tonight and try to get it done tonight. By the way, we're only responsible for digging out another septic tank; you'll have to handle the rest yourself. Are you going to provide the materials for the modification yourself? If not, give me the supplies."

"I've already lent you my people, so we can do the work ourselves. Why are you still trying to charge me for materials?"

“Well, we’ve also contributed our people. You can’t just have Yu Hui do the work alone. You’ll need Yan Fei from our team to help out, won’t you? Besides, materials are so hard to come by these days. I’m just a poor guy, I can’t afford to send them.”

Chi Feng: "..."

"Fine, fine, here are the supplies!" Chi Feng rolled his eyes and made Hua Juan spit out a few more cans of gasoline.

Zhou Yang looked at the buckets of gasoline, his eyes sparkling.

Because they were in a hurry to get to work, Chi Feng and the other three quickly finished their dinner, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and went downstairs with Zhou Yang and the others.

Yan Fei and the others downstairs had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that everyone had come down, they left a few ladies and Pea to watch the house, while the others grabbed their tools and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

The underground parking lot was cooler in the evening than when we came down earlier, and many people came down to cool off.

Zhou Yang and his group walked among them without attracting much attention.

It wasn't until they reached the entrance to the shelter that they attracted a lot of attention. After watching them go down, people started whispering among themselves. Several squads even went up to question the guards, but they were all turned away by the soldiers.

Zhou Yang and the others didn't care what others thought; even if they knew, they would just laugh it off. Since everyone was already calling them privileged individuals who used connections, they might as well do it openly and honestly.
