Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

The man's injury was on his forehead near his hairline. The wound wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. Now that I've treated it promptly, he shouldn't be in any danger.

Remembering that the wound needed to be disinfected, Zhou Yang simply rinsed the wound with clean water and then poured disinfectant on it.

The moment the disinfectant was poured on, the man under her hands flinched in pain, but the shudder was slight and Zhou Yang didn't notice.

After disinfecting, Zhou Yang applied mercurochrome and hemostatic medicine again, and finally bandaged the wound simply with gauze and tape.

After treating the man's wounds and covering him with a blanket, Zhou Yang closed the door to the second bedroom and came out.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang quickly went back to her room and took a shower.

Because he was so hungry, he didn't plan to cook anymore, so he went straight to a table, sat down, took out a ready-made meal from his spatial storage, and started eating heartily.

After filling his stomach, Zhou Yang finally felt like he was alive again.

I probably ate too quickly just now, and my stomach feels bloated.

So Zhou Yang moved to the sofa and spread himself out like a pancake.

People tend to feel sleepy after eating a full meal, and Zhou Yang was no exception.

Just as he was feeling sleepy, he heard the chirping of peas in his ear, which immediately scared away half of his drowsiness, and he sat up with a jolt.

The dog, which had been lying motionless on the ground, was now instinctively stretching and loosening its body, which had been stiff from lying down.

The sound we just heard was from when it stretched its body.

Zhou Yang stared at the dog for a moment, then it took him a while to react.

The pea is awake.

"You silly dog! You're finally awake!"

Looking at the lazy and carefree dog, Zhou Yang couldn't help but kick it, but he didn't use much force at all. For a dog as big as Pea now, it was probably just a tickle.

The pea was startled by the kick and immediately jumped up. When it turned around, it realized it was its owner. It immediately rolled over and pounced on its owner, completely unaware of its current size change, still thinking it was a baby.

"Damn it! Pea! You're too heavy now! Get off!"

Zhou Yang tried to move the pea's big head away, not letting it get closer. Her stomach, which had just eaten, felt like it was about to vomit from the pressure.

"Look how big you've gotten! Are you trying to crush me?! You're not allowed to pounce on me like that anymore, understand?!"

Upon waking up, she was scolded. Pea lay back down on the ground, feeling wronged, and cautiously looked at Zhou Yang with her grape-like eyes.

Seeing that pitiful little face, Zhou Yang realized he had spoken too harshly, so he changed his words:

"Although I can't pounce on you anymore, I can still cuddle with you. I still love you, Master. But I'm delicate and frail, and I can't withstand the pressure of your weight, you know?"

Zhou Yang rubbed the dog's big head to comfort it.

Upon hearing this, Pea perked up again, barked, and nuzzled up to Zhou Yang's legs once more. This time, it obediently didn't pounce on him, but simply rested its head on Zhou Yang's lap.

Looking at Wandou's behavior, Zhou Yang realized that Wandou seemed to understand him, so he tentatively said, "Wandou, can you understand what I'm saying now? If so, say it twice and nod your head up and down, like this..." He even demonstrated the nodding action for Wandou.

Pea looked at Zhou Yang, tilted her head, then barked twice, and then nodded her head in imitation of Zhou Yang.

After watching the dog's series of actions, Zhou Yang's eyes lit up. It seemed that the dog's intelligence had evolved.

"Pea, you've really made something of yourself! You can actually understand human speech now!"

Zhou Yang cupped Wandou's head and kissed it, then continued to ask, "Is there anything else I don't know?"

After hearing this, Pea thought for a moment, then squatted down, prepared for a while, and then sprayed a small spark towards the balcony window.

Zhou Yang was shocked the moment he saw the spark.

He had only asked casually, but he never expected that Pea would awaken a fire-type ability.

However, this tiny spark was truly tiny; it vanished into the air within seconds of being emitted.

Pea glanced at Zhou Yang embarrassedly, feeling that her spark just now was a complete embarrassment, and almost lowered her head to the ground.

Zhou Yang chuckled and put his arm around Pea's neck to comfort her, "It's okay. You just woke up and your level is low, so of course you can't unleash a big fireball. You'll be much stronger when you level up. Your master doesn't know anything, so I'll have to rely on you to protect me from now on."

Upon hearing this, the pea immediately became excited again and chirped several times in a row.

"Alright, go eat now. You've been sleeping for days, you must be starving."

Zhou Yang brought over Pea's new food bowl, which was already filled with dog food and freeze-dried food.

Thinking that Pea's current size probably wouldn't be enough to eat, he took out several large pieces of chicken breast and vegetables and made a pot of dog food for Pea as an extra meal.

While Pea was happily munching on dog food, Zhou Yang was pondering Pea's special ability.

They look so alike...

Pea looks so much like that mutated yellow dog from Shanghai in my previous life.

Both are big yellow dogs, and both have fire-type abilities...

Who knows, his pea might actually be that big yellow dog. After all, he rescued pea in this life because he intervened, preventing it from being abused like in its previous life.

The pea's fire-type ability seems a bit weak...

However, the reason why the pea is so weak may also be related to staying at home. It even woke up early, so the pea may not have received enough energy.

It's ok!

Even if it's a weakling, it's still his adopted son. He'll use all the crystal cores he gets to upgrade his son, making him stronger than the mutated yellow dog from his previous life!

I don't know if the spring water in the space will have any effect on the peas, but I can give it a try.

So Zhou Yang scooped out a cup of spring water from his spatial storage and poured it into the pea's basin.

As soon as it was poured in, the peas came over and drank it all up without Zhou Yang even having to say anything. In the end, they even licked the basin clean, leaving not a single drop of spring water.

She felt it wasn't enough after finishing the water, so she turned around and nudged Zhou Yang, afraid he wouldn't understand what she meant, and even moved the basin of water closer to him with her front paw.

Zhou Yang naturally understood, and began pouring spring water into the basin again, asking Pea as he poured:

"Kid, do you think this spring water will do you any good? If it has a little effect, but not much, shout twice. If it has a big effect, shout three times."

After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the pea chirped three times, then turned around and buried its head in the spring water.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang was overjoyed and made up his mind to let the dog drink spring water directly with him from now on.

"Then you'll drink this from now on, and let's try to become the strongest mutant beasts in the apocalypse! Let's survive to the end together!"

Upon hearing this, Pea looked up and cheerfully echoed Zhou Yang's voice.
