Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After calculating the approximate date, Zhou Yang eagerly awaited the end of the extreme heat.

Life in the underground shelter may seem the same as usual, but this year's extreme heat is even more unbearable.

Because not a drop of rain has fallen, the months-long drought has made the air even drier than during the coldest periods.

Although the shelter had a large reservoir prepared in advance and water-type ability users took turns replenishing the water, the population of more than 6 people was still too large to handle. In the later stages of the extreme heat, the standard of water supply rationing had to be reduced.

Many people experience excessive peeling due to dry climate and lack of water intake.

Compared to the others at the base, Zhou Yang and his group actually had the easiest time.

However, they only dared to use water secretly behind closed doors, and tried to minimize their chances of going out to avoid attracting excessive attention from others and causing unnecessary conflicts.

Fortunately, everyone's hard times finally came to an end in early November.

The sharp drop in temperature brought a sigh of relief to everyone, meaning the extreme heat was about to end.

Zhou Yang finally found the right opportunity. In a few days, when the temperature drops to around 45 degrees Celsius and everyone moves back home, he and Shen Zechuan can set off.

A few days later, the outside temperature gradually dropped below 50 degrees Celsius.

Zhou Yang and the others then moved out of the underground shelter again and returned to their home.

Finally, no longer having to live day and night, everyone's mood improved considerably.

After a busy day, everyone gathered together that evening for a long-awaited feast.

After a hearty meal, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan exchanged a glance and then told everyone about their plan to leave the base, which they had discussed the previous night.

"Zhou Yang and I plan to go out early tomorrow morning. It could be a few days or up to half a month."

Yu Jing asked, "Just the two of you? Where are you going?"

Shen Zechuan nodded: "Yes, Yangyang wants to go back to the base in his hometown. So I'll go with him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingye was the first to get restless and immediately grabbed Yan Fei's arm, saying, "Yan Fei, shall we go together?"

During the sweltering months, he felt like he was going to suffocate, so when he heard that Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan were going on a long trip, he immediately wanted to go with them.

Before Yan Fei could speak, Shen Zechuan directly refused, "We're not going there for fun. What are you two going to do with us? You two go on your own missions."

Lu Xingye glared at Shen Zechuan, then turned to Zhou Yang, trying to use the old method to soften Zhou Yang's heart and make her agree.

"Yang Yang..."

However, the usually effective coquettish tactics failed to persuade Zhou Yang this time.

In the end, Lu Xingye could only purse his lips and give up.

……

The next morning, Zhou Yang filled the refrigerator and freezer at home, took out more than half a month's worth of supplies and put them in Chai Yi's space, and then went out with all the delicious food that Yu Jing had prepared for them.

However, just before leaving the base, Gu Tianqi, who had received the message, threw a new mission at him.

Deliver a batch of supplies to the special forces team with superpowers stationed at the Shanghai base, and also bring back a batch of edible mutated seafood.

These seafood items are extremely high in protein, are filling, and can be stored for a long time after being dried, making them rare and valuable items in the apocalypse.

The batch of seafood brought back before the extreme cold last year played a significant role in helping the base survive the cold, so Gu Tianqi had his eye on it again this year.

Since it was something they could do easily, the two of them didn't refuse. They packed up the supplies they were going to deliver to the Shanghai base and set off on the Pea.

The last time I went in this direction was a year ago.

After experiencing another wave of extreme cold and heat, the road beneath our feet is now even more desolate.

It has only been three years since the apocalypse began, but the roads paved with cement and asphalt look as if more than a decade has passed. They are no longer recognizable as they were before, covered in dust, and full of cracks and collapses. Some sections that cross the river have even broken in two.

Fortunately, the peas were big enough to easily jump over these obstacles, so Zhou Yang and his companion made their way through the journey very smoothly.

In just half a day, the two arrived at the gate of the Shanghai base.

After a year, the city walls of the Shanghai base were no longer dilapidated; instead, they looked even more majestic. There were no more corpses scattered around the foundation, and patrol teams were constantly walking back and forth on the city walls.

It seems that the mutated marine creatures have indeed attracted many superhumans who want to become stronger, which is why the Shanghai base has been built to be even more powerful.

As soon as the giant pea came close, it immediately attracted the attention of the patrol team. Fortunately, the pea had also appeared at the Shanghai base last year, and some of the patrol team members recognized it. When they saw Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan on the pea's back, they immediately remembered them and let them pass.

As soon as the two entered the Shanghai base, Zhou Xian, who had received the news, immediately brought his men over and took them directly back to the villa where the Baijishan base team was staying.

"Captain Shen! Young Zhou! You two have arrived just in time. Our supplies are almost gone."

Zhou Xian had previously sent a request for supplies to the Baijishan base, so when he received news of Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan's arrival today, he knew that they had come to deliver supplies.

"Do you have any brothers with spatial abilities here? If so, have them take it."

“Yes, it’s Xiao Zhang.” Zhou Xian said, pushing out a young man.

Zhou Yang nodded and took out the supplies that Gu Tianqi had prepared for them in the empty hall, including hydroponic Chinese cabbage.

The moment Zhou Yang saw the Chinese cabbage, his eyes twitched involuntarily. Fearing that Zhou Xian and the others might develop a psychological trauma from eating it, he quietly smuggled in a batch of normal vegetables, but these were all the kinds that could be grown at the Baijishan base.

Standing nearby, Shen Zechuan remembered Gu Tianqi's instructions and asked, "By the way, Captain Zhou, before we left, Chief Gu told us to bring back a batch of seafood. Did you prepare any?"

Zhou Xian nodded: "A batch of dried goods survived, but it's definitely not enough to feed the entire base. Are you in a hurry? If not, wait a bit. The peak period for marine mutant creatures to land is from now until the next extreme cold snap. We can catch another batch of seafood for you to take back with us later."

Thinking that they still had to go to the Hecheng base for business and weren't in such a hurry to go back, Shen Zechuan nodded in agreement.

“Okay, we were going to take care of some things elsewhere anyway, we’ll come over after we’re done.”

Zhou Xian nodded: "No problem. Go ahead without worry. If you need any help, just let me know!"

Shen Zechuan smiled and said, "Not at the moment, but we won't hesitate to help if needed."

Afterwards, the two declined Zhou Xian's invitation to have dinner together and left the Shanghai base directly.

Although they could easily spare a meal, Zhou Yang was preoccupied with seeking revenge at the Hecheng base, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, the two decided to leave immediately.
