Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Just like in his previous life, although this body managed to avoid vital areas, it was still stabbed in the lower back.

He clutched his wound with one hand and pulled out a small knife for self-defense with the other, slashing at his opponent. Unfortunately, the opponent dodged the attack, and he could only take advantage of the moment to escape. Rain instantly soaked his face and the only clothes he wore, but at that moment, he didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to live...

Unfortunately, "he" was just an ordinary person, yet he still had to be chased by four people, and the scarred man and the tattooed man among them were both evolved beings.

So he was quickly surrounded by several people, and his body was stabbed several more times. The jade pendant was also pulled off when he was caught up, and his body was kicked into a muddy puddle that had accumulated a lot of rainwater.

"give me back……"

Zhou Yang was forced to fall into the mud with this body, and then heard the faint cries coming from it.

However, his voice was not respected; instead, it was met with a merciless trampling.

Zhou Yang, who had been unconscious, was inexplicably connected to this body again. As the cold knife pierced his body again and again, Zhou Yang once again experienced that excruciating pain.

The despair of impending death caused him to let out a mournful cry.

"what--"

……

"Yangyang? Yangyang! Are you having a nightmare? Wake up!"

Shen Zechuan was sleeping soundly with Zhou Yang in his arms when he suddenly heard a scream. He was so frightened that he opened his eyes and saw Zhou Yang in his arms with his eyes closed and a pained expression on his face. He immediately realized that Zhou Yang was having a nightmare, so he gently patted Zhou Yang's face and tried to wake him up.

"Yangyang—Yangyang—Wake up—"

Deep in the nightmare, Zhou Yang vaguely heard Shen Zechuan calling her, and then struggled to open her eyes.

Having just emerged from the dream, Zhou Yang was still immersed in the pain of blood loss and near death, and could only subconsciously gasp for breath to make herself feel that she was still alive.

"It's okay, it's okay, it was just a nightmare, I'll be fine when I wake up."

Seeing Zhou Yang wake up, Shen Zechuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from Zhou Yang's forehead and comforted him, then kissed Zhou Yang's forehead.

After regaining his senses, Zhou Yang gradually calmed down, but the memory of the dream still made his heart pound.

He hadn't thought about it for a long time since he killed the leader of the evolved men.

If he hadn't had this dream today, he would have almost forgotten that it's already the third year of the apocalypse, and there are only a few months left until the point when he died in his previous life.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grasp Shen Zechuan's hand, compose himself, and said, "After the extreme heat subsides, I want to go to Hecheng to do something."

"Hecheng?" Shen Zechuan asked, puzzled, but he didn't ask why. He simply nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you after the extreme heat is over."

Seeing that Shen Zechuan agreed without asking any questions, Zhou Yang looked up at him and asked, "Aren't you going to ask why?"

Shen Zechuan shook his head: "I won't ask. You can go if you want, just take me with you. Let me know when you're ready. But is the two of us enough? Or should we invite Yan Fei and the others too?"

Zhou Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head and refused. He didn't want more people to know about this: "No need. Those guys are just scum who only bully ordinary people. I can easily handle them all by myself."

"That's fine then." Shen Zechuan didn't say anything more and nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yang decided to tell Shen Zechuan part of it first, "Do you remember when I took revenge last time?"

"I remember, the one you secretly chased after and tried to kill last time?" Shen Zechuan nodded.

Mentioning this incident made Shen Zechuan angry. Last time it was so dangerous, yet he dared to chase after her alone. So, pinching Zhou Yang's ear, he reminded her again:

"You absolutely cannot go by yourself again this time. Remember to take me with you as your enforcer! If I find out you're going alone again, I'll spank you!"

"Okay, okay, I understand!" Zhou Yang nodded hurriedly, then said, "Actually, we only killed one of them back then. There were three others, but they should all be in the Hecheng base now. I just had a nightmare about them killing people again. I want to go and look for them after the extreme heat subsides. If I can find them, I'll kill them all to avenge them."

Zhou Yang spoke calmly, but his hands clenched uncontrollably.

Shen Zechuan clearly felt the grip on his hand tighten considerably. He also vaguely knew that those people had killed a relative who was very important to Zhou Yang, so even though he didn't know exactly what had happened, he still felt heartbroken: "Then I'll help you kill him."

He knew that Zhou Yang didn't want to cause any trouble, so this time he didn't mention inviting Yan Fei and the others again.

Seeing that Zhou Yang had completely calmed down, Shen Zechuan glanced at the small alarm clock on the bedside table and realized it was only 3 a.m., so he pulled Zhou Yang into his arms and said:

"It's still early, let's sleep a little longer."

"Ah."

Zhou Yang nodded upon hearing this. He had been having nightmares and couldn't sleep well. Even now, he still felt very tired after waking up, so he didn't make a firm decision.

He leaned quietly against Shen Zechuan's chest and slowly closed his eyes.

Perhaps because he had talked about revenge, he felt incredibly relaxed and fell asleep again shortly after closing his eyes.

……

When Zhou Yang opened his eyes again, it was almost 10 a.m.

The seat next to Shen Zechuan was empty, presumably he had gotten up and gone out early in the morning, but there was a breakfast prepared for him on the bedside table.

Zhou Yang then hurriedly got up, quickly washed up in the space, changed into a T-shirt and shorts, and ate breakfast in a few bites.

Only then did he bring out a few empty bowls and leave the room.

Everyone outside had already finished breakfast, and only Yu Jing and Shen Zechuan were chatting in the living room.

Zhou Yang didn't disturb them. He was about to take the bowls and chopsticks to wash himself when Shen Zechuan, who had spotted him coming out, came over and took them from him.

"I'll go wash up, you can sit over there."

Zhou Yang didn't argue with Shen Zechuan and joined the group chatting.

After lunch, Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan, as usual, went to the military headquarters to help out.

Shen Zechuan is going to help the military recharge their batteries, Lu Xingye is going to help provide water, and Lu Yanwen is going to help cool things down...

Zhou Yang, being a rare free person, chose to stay at home this time.

He planned to use his memories from his previous life to deduce the approximate time when this extreme heat would end, as well as the timing of the rain.

That rain seemed to have fallen around mid-November in my past life.

As for the specific date, he couldn't remember it at all, since there were no calendars or clocks at the time.

I only remember that not long after the extreme heat had passed, the temperature was still around 30 degrees Celsius when suddenly it rained, which excited the entire base that was severely lacking in water.

No problem, as long as we get to the Hecheng base before the extreme heat, we should be able to find those three people.
