Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Although the battle to defend the city has ended, cleaning up the battlefield is still a huge task.

In addition, as the weather begins to get warmer, the rotting corpses of the zombies left inside and outside the base will quickly cause various bacteria and viruses to breed, and if not dealt with quickly, they could easily lead to a plague.

So after dealing with the zombies, everyone immediately began cleaning up inside and outside the base.

It took another two days to clear out all the zombies and zombie birds' cores, and then burn the zombie corpses to ashes.

After the cleanup work was completed, the Qianlong team was finally able to go home and get a good night's sleep.

When they woke up, the group first asked Yu Hui to help repair the wall on the 18th-floor corridor that had been broken by the zombie bird, and then they gathered at Zhou Yang's house for a lavish meal.

After a satisfying meal, Zhou Yang, having nothing to do, remembered the zombie king's crystal core that Xiao Hu had secretly given him, and immediately took it out.

Although Xiaohu ultimately defeated the Zombie King, the crystal core should have belonged to him, but he didn't need it, especially since it was a mental crystal core.

From the perspective of the team's interests, he should actually give the crystal core to Xu Qingtang. However, Jiang Yuanshan from Chi Feng's side is also a mental ability user, and Chi Feng and the others have helped them a lot. Therefore, Zhou Yang plans to bring it up directly and let the two of them decide for themselves.

"Ahem, when Xiao Hu pierced through the zombie king, he casually gave me a crystal core, but it's useless to me. Only Qing Tang and Yuan Shan here have it. Why don't you two discuss it yourselves and see who should upgrade first..."

Before Xu Qingtang could speak, Jiang Yuanshan shook his head: "Give it to Qingtang. I'm only at the peak of level 4, while she's already level 5. She can maximize her benefits by leveling up first."

However, Xu Qingtang refused after hearing this: "Let's upgrade Brother Jiang first. The crystal core I used to upgrade to level four last time was given to me by you guys, and I feel like I leveled up too quickly, it's not stable, and I don't have as much combat experience as you guys, so I can't unleash my full potential. Like this time, even though I'm already a level 5 mentalist, I still couldn't help much..."

Xu Qingtang's words made some sense. At the same level, her combat power was significantly lower than others, so it was actually most advantageous for their two teams for Jiang Yuanshan to reach level 6 first.

So after discussion, everyone decided to give the crystal core to Jiang Yuanshan.

However, Zhou Yang and his group were not to be trifled with; they immediately asked Chi Feng for a considerable amount of supplies and crystal cores.

"You really can't stand to lose even a little! We've been through thick and thin together for almost a year, and you still don't treat me like a brother!" Chi Feng said indignantly as he emptied his pockets of supplies. "Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

"Hey, even brothers need to keep clear accounts. Besides, conscience is nothing; I threw it away the moment the apocalypse started!" Zhou Yang rolled his eyes, his hands never stopping as he collected supplies. "Besides, even if we're close, we're not on the same team, right? Of course, we need to settle things clearly!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Feng paused in his hand as he reached for supplies: "Since we're in the same team as you, there's no need to calculate things carefully?"

"Nonsense, we're on the same team, so of course we don't need to be counted," Zhou Yang said without even looking up.

They're all in the same team now, so they're a community of shared interests and there's no need to haggle over every little thing. Besides, all their team's supplies are in his space, and he decides how to distribute them, so why should he care?

Although Chi Feng and his team had a good relationship with their squad and often ate and acted together, they were still two separate teams, so it was better to keep things clear.

Thinking about it, he was about to go get another set of supplies when he saw Chi Feng standing there motionless for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. So he elbowed him.

"What are you standing there for? Keep taking more. What you just took isn't enough to pay for that level 6 late-stage mental crystal core."

But Chi Feng still didn't seem to have any intention of making a move. He just stroked his chin and said, "Hey, what do you think about the four of us merging into your Hidden Dragon Squad?"

Chi Feng had actually considered this problem during this extreme cold spell.

First of all, Zhou Yang and his group are much stronger than the four of them. The saying "if you can't beat them, join them" is a very wise choice.

Secondly, Chi Feng and the others really liked the atmosphere of the Hidden Dragon Squad. Most importantly, wouldn't they be able to openly freeload after joining?

Of course, this is not a pleasant thing to hear, and Chi Feng definitely cannot say it aloud.

"what?!"

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"what--"

"what!"

"what?"

……

However, Zhou Yang wasn't the only one surprised; the rest of the Hidden Dragon Squad were also as surprised.

Even Ni Fan and the other two were quite surprised.

Prior to this, Chi Feng had never revealed to them his intention to merge, and in their memory, Chi Feng was not the kind of person who was willing to submit to others.

However, the three of them were only slightly surprised and showed no intention of objecting, quietly sitting aside as bystanders.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Chi Feng couldn't help but touch his nose: "Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there a problem?"

"This is a huge problem!" Zhou Yang exclaimed, slapping his thigh. "Are you just trying to freeload off our team?!"

"How could that be? We'll definitely put in the corresponding labor after joining." Chi Feng coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment. "Besides, if we're all joining your team as laborers, aren't you going to provide us with food and drink for free? Do you expect us to keep contributing supplies? Does your team also need to contribute supplies to get food?"

After Chi Feng finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief.

Zhou Yang: "..."
