Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

As the seagulls brought a large amount of moisture, rain began to fall across the country, with heavy rainstorms hitting coastal and inland areas.

Massive floods have occurred in many parts of the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, submerging low-rise buildings and turning the landscape into a muddy yellow expanse. Countless disaster victims have been forced to huddle on rooftops awaiting rescue.

The earthquake relief work in Xingcheng was not yet over, and now it was hit by torrential rain and flooding, causing the death toll to surge. The open space used to place the bodies was densely packed with corpses, and the scene was too horrific to bear.

Landslides also occurred in mountainous areas such as Shancheng, where a mountain road suddenly collapsed, killing several vehicles and people. Villages at the foot of the mountain were buried instantly, making rescue work difficult...

This chain of disasters lasted for more than half a month before gradually subsiding as the seagulls left.

People dragged their weary bodies back to their homes, tears welling in their eyes as they struggled to rebuild them.

Every affected area is slowly getting better. People comfort each other, knowing that the disaster is over.

Only Zhou Yang knew that this was probably the last peace before the apocalypse.

The end times will only be more brutal than the current disasters.

Although it wasn't good to pour cold water on the disaster victims who had just received a new lease on life, the fact that the seagulls arrived a week early made Zhou Yang restless and unable to eat or sleep.

This means that the end times could very well arrive sooner than expected.

In my past life, the end times began in early July with a thick fog.

If it had arrived earlier, it would have been only a few days since then.

So Zhou Yang decided to post a post about post-apocalyptic survival ahead of time.

Instead of discussing specific apocalyptic events, the posts describe various possible scenarios, such as viral outbreaks and zombie outbreaks as depicted in movies, or extreme weather disasters like cold waves and extreme heat waves.

At the same time, Zhou Yang encouraged everyone to cultivate good habits of storing food and water in normal times, so that they can conserve their energy and wait for rescue in the event of a disaster.

Then it began to introduce various skills that might be needed to survive in the apocalypse, such as making your own weapons and equipment, growing plants on your balcony, purifying water, generating electricity with solar panels, and making portable and easy-to-store food.

At the end of the article, Zhou Yang listed a bunch of post-apocalyptic disaster movies and post-apocalyptic literature for everyone to watch and learn from, with zombie themes being the most numerous.

The post quickly attracted a large number of netizens after being published online. However, this time it didn't mention anything related to reality, and everyone just assumed that the prophet was a post-apocalyptic survival enthusiast.

Some netizens joked that if this were also a doomsday prophecy post, they would just die on the spot, not wanting to survive in the apocalypse at all. A large number of netizens echoed this sentiment with laughter.

Zhou Yang smiled bitterly as he looked at the comments from netizens. In the early stages of the apocalypse in his previous life, many people did choose to commit suicide because they could not face it.

After the typhoon passed, the temperature remained around 20 degrees Celsius and did not rise; instead, it continued to drop.

The humidity in the air is getting heavier and heavier, and the furniture in the house is getting damp. Every time it touches the skin, it feels sticky and makes people feel uncomfortable.

This situation is exactly the same as the days before the end of the world in previous lives.

The great fog of the apocalypse will probably arrive in the next few days.

It seems there's no hope of harvesting another batch of new rice at the beginning of July.

Zhou Yang pursed her lips, slightly disappointed.

Two more days passed.

When Zhou Yang woke up that morning, he felt that even the air he was breathing was cold. He looked down and found that the temperature had dropped below ten degrees Celsius. He quickly took out his thermal underwear from his space and put it on.

After drinking a cup of hot water to catch my breath, I went to the window to look out. By then, the air outside was gradually covered with a layer of mist, as if shrouded in smog, and the visibility was only about three or four kilometers.

Looking at the news online, netizens from all over the country are saying that their cities are experiencing smog and a sudden drop in temperature, so they've dug out their thermal underwear. In Northeast China, it feels like winter has returned overnight, and people are bundled up in coats again.

Another netizen studying in the Netherlands also mentioned online that the temperature suddenly dropped and smog appeared in their area. It should be noted that the Netherlands is known for its good environment and has never had smog.

Gradually, more and more netizens from the United States, England, Russia, Australia, and other countries also posted blog posts about the sudden drop in local temperature and the smog.

The internet immediately descended into chaos, with all sorts of rumors spreading.

Theories about global air pollution, the Ice Age, tsunamis, earthquakes, and the extinction of the sun have emerged one after another, eventually even veerging towards doomsday scenarios.

To be fair, although the reasons and processes behind the doomsday theories given by netizens are not quite the same as the actual situation, the result is correct.

Since the apocalypse was just around the corner, Zhou Yang wasn't afraid of revealing his location anymore, so he stopped going to internet cafes and planned to post his last Weibo message from home.

I turned on my computer and logged into my old account that I hadn't used in a long time. As soon as I opened the page, I was so overwhelmed by 99+ private messages and comments that it almost disconnected me.

Zhou Yang was speechless for a moment, then ignored the messages and went to edit her Weibo post.

"Dear netizens, this will be my last Weibo post. I hope that everyone who sees this will live to the end."

The cooling temperatures and smog you are seeing now are just the beginning of a vast fog, and this is also the prelude to the end times.

When it becomes pitch black outside, the fog will reach its peak, plunging the entire world into slumber. This apocalyptic fog also carries a deadly virus.

The virus varies from person to person; some people will evolve, while others will not change at all, and at least half of them will turn into cannibalistic zombies, so you can also call it the zombie virus.

But when the fog clears, the true end times will begin. The necessary preparations and coping strategies have already been explained.

We would like to remind everyone again to stock up on supplies in a timely manner and prepare self-defense weapons in advance. When the fog is about to reach its peak, do not go out. It is best to be in a room by yourself. If conditions are limited, everyone in the room should be tied up, and there should be enough safe barriers between them.

If you're lucky, you have 24 hours left.

I hope everyone can survive.

By the way, if you encounter a zombie, it's best to just chop off its head, otherwise you won't die!

goodbye"

After typing the last word, I posted it on Weibo.

After posting, Zhou Yang finally had time to check the messages.

Most of those messages were meaningless and he simply ignored them. However, when he saw several comments from that boy from Xingcheng in his private messages, he clicked on them to take a look.

The earliest was after the Xingcheng earthquake, followed by the typhoon landfall, and the two most recent were at 5 a.m. today.

June 2nd: [Wow, thank you so much for the earthquake early warning! I survived with my parents, grandparents, and many other people in the village. Thank you so much!]

June 16: [Hey bro! How are you doing? Changsha got flooded too! But I listened to you and stocked up on half a month's worth of food in advance, and then I took my parents and grandparents to stay with my uncle who does business in the next province! I hope you're safe and sound too! (Praying)]

June 24: [Hey bro! Are you there? Is your post about surviving the apocalypse real?]

June 26: [Hey bro, I've been stockpiling water and rice these past two days, and I also bought two machetes and tons of vegetable seeds. I spent all my New Year's money and allowance, and then my parents beat me up. (crying)]

June 29th: [Hey bro, I've been feeling a bit anxious lately, I don't know why. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night to find the temperature had suddenly dropped drastically, and I have this feeling that something's wrong with the world. Do you think this is going to be the end of the world?]

Hey bro, reply to me when you're online!

Zhou Yang shared the Weibo post she had just made with him, and then left a message: "[Prepare more water and food, mainly things that keep well and are filling. Also, prepare some basic medicines. Don't trust anyone in this apocalypse. Even brothers can turn against each other to survive, so be cautious. Besides, only the brave are fearless; only by becoming strong can you survive in this world. I wish you and your family a speedy recovery. The apocalypse will eventually end. Goodbye.]"

After that, Zhou Yang went offline.

He also wanted to take advantage of this final moment to make some final preparations.
