Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Wow, that really is a charm ability...

After listening, Zhou Yang silently grumbled to himself.

But before he could finish thinking, he heard Zhang Wan shout again:

"My level is so low, there's not much benefit for you to eat me! However, I know a team called the Hidden Dragon Squad. They're very strong! They even have two level 6 ability users! They're at the Baiji Mountain base down below. I can take you there! Just let me go!"

"..."

Zhou Yang was utterly speechless.

What did the Hidden Dragon Squad do to her that she hates them so much?

Zhou Yang had been struggling with this issue ever since he learned that Chai Jin had been detained and discovered that Zhang Wan was spreading rumors about their team behind their backs.

As far as I can remember, it was only at the very beginning of the apocalypse that I met her once in that neighborhood in the city center, but I didn't take her with me. And that turned into a blood feud?

Logically speaking, it's a favor to save someone, and it's one's right not to. Anything more than that is moral blackmail!

Besides, what need is there for morality in an apocalypse?

Not committing murder and robbery is a sign of high moral character!

Zhou Yang sighed for a while before conveying the question he wanted to ask to Ah Hu, letting it continue asking.

Ah Hu then shook the branch and spoke again:

"Why...why...did...you...harm...your...kin?"

"Why?" Zhang Wan was stunned for a moment, then her face gradually twisted. "Of course it's because they deserve to die! They're the ones who made me like this!! Especially that scoundrel Zhou Yang! He deserves to die the most!" (To avoid censorship, words are combined here~)

Zhang Wan felt so angry at the humiliation she had suffered that she almost vomited blood.

If Shen Zechuan and the others hadn't suddenly returned to the community, she wouldn't have thought to go downstairs to ask for help!

If they hadn't refused to help her when she begged for help, she wouldn't have been targeted by that gangster, captured, imprisoned, and humiliated!

So it's all their fault! They all have to die!

If it weren't for her good luck later on, when she was on the verge of death from being tortured, she would have been dead long ago!

Moreover, even if she awakened this superpower, she wouldn't dare to reveal it, since no one can accept being bewitched and controlled by someone.

So she could only continue to pretend to be an ordinary person, and gradually influence the attitudes of those abusers towards her, which made her life a little easier.

Therefore, when she and the other two women were rescued, she had the least injuries and was the only one of the three who was still mentally sound.

The other two women had long since gone mad from the daily torment. It was only because of their exceptional beauty and the fact that they became even more obedient after going insane that the abusers couldn't bear to throw them away.

After being rescued, she secretly used her superpowers to gain favor with those around her in order to improve her life.

Even so, she dared not reveal that she had superpowers. She could only upgrade secretly, occasionally tricking a few base crystals from those men to upgrade. So it took her two years to barely reach level 3.

Later, he even recognized Granny Zhang, who had the best reputation among them, as his godmother.

Of course, she didn't really want an old woman who would only hold them back. She just wanted to use this old woman to get close to Yu Jing, gain sympathy, and infiltrate their ranks. She would then try to control Shen Zechuan little by little. However, she didn't expect that Zhou Yang would discover the clues before the plan was even implemented for a few days.

She only found out about it later when she accidentally controlled Chai Jin, that fool.

Therefore, of all these people, she hated Zhou Yang the most.

They stole her place next to Shen Zechuan back then and even scared her with a mutant dog. Now they're ruining her plans!

It's damned awesome!

Since her plan fell through, Granny Zhang was no longer useful. So, when the flu broke out, she made sure that old woman who was only a burden to her got infected and died. Then, she quickly found herself a new family to live off and adopted as a godmother.

During this time, she also gained favor with the patrol team and got to know their newly appointed captain, from whom she received many benefits.

Most of the resources she used for upgrading came from this, especially the level 5 mental crystal core that she had embezzled by chance.

It's a shame some scoundrel stole it! Otherwise, she'd be a level 5 ability user by now! She'd probably have gotten her revenge by now and be running rampant throughout the entire base!

Thinking of this, Zhang Wan was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"..."

Zhou Yang's consciousness, who was inexplicably sentenced to death and then saw Zhang Wanqi vomiting blood, was completely bewildered.

He had absolutely no idea why he had incurred this woman's wrath, to the point that he was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

But it doesn't matter anymore. He's already certain that this woman is the kind of person who's inherently bad, and all the reasons are just excuses for her selfishness.

It is not a pity to die for such a person.

Of course, if he knew the reason, he would probably just roll his eyes at the other person.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Yang lost interest in interrogating Zhang Wan and didn't want to waste any more time on such a person.

However, considering that the woman hadn't caused them too much harm yet, he decided to give Zhang Wan a quick death. He also didn't want to do it himself, nor did he want to watch, so after conveying his message to Ah Hu, he simply floated away.

After Zhou Yang's consciousness left, Ah Hu split off a branch, which darted forward and pierced Zhang Wan's forehead.

When it came out, a small crystal nucleus was still wrapped around the branch.

He turned around, took the crystal core, and handed it to Zhou Yang as if to claim credit.

However, the level 3 spirit-type crystal core was not very useful. Zhou Yang glanced at it and casually threw it into the large box that was specifically for storing crystal cores of a certain attribute.

As for Ah Hu, Zhou Yang waved his hand and sent it off to drink two large buckets of spring water as a reward.

The latter was overjoyed to hear that he could get a large bucket of spring water for such a small amount of work today, which was much simpler than the farm work he usually did.

Before leaving, he firmly expressed his strong desire to seek out this job again next time he had the opportunity.

After wandering around in the space for a while, Zhou Yang felt that the zombie king outside should have given up on him, so he moved his consciousness out of the space with a thought.

When he opened his eyes again, the Zombie King had just finished unleashing a wide-range mental attack and was being chased and beaten by Shen Zechuan and Chi Feng.

Although the people around them had survived the zombie king's mental attack, they were now dealing with the successive attacks from the supernatural zombies, and they were clearly exhausted.

As he was assessing the situation, he suddenly felt a shadow loom over his head. Looking up, he saw a zombie bird charging towards him.

Just as he was about to summon Little Tiger to fight back, he felt a green figure leap up from beside him and pierce right through the zombie bird's head.

Zhou Yang turned his head and saw that it was Little Tiger guarding him.

"Not bad, it wasn't a waste of time to raise you! I'll add more spring water for you when we get back!"

Zhou Yang nodded in satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Little Tiger immediately threw the zombie bird corpse aside, then quickly shrank back and rubbed its "head" against Zhou Yang's shoulder.
