Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After obtaining the points card, the two did not rush to sign the contract, since they still needed to inspect the house first.

So he had the clerk bring the keys, the contract, and the card reader, and then went with them to see the apartment.

The clerk quickly grabbed his things and followed, and thoughtfully took the keys to the other vacant rooms, thinking that if Zhou Yang and his group were not satisfied with the house, they could simply change houses to see.

The commission he makes from selling just this one house today is enough for several months of his usual earnings, so he has to be treated well!

After getting into the car, Shen Zechuan drove, while Zhou Yang, in the passenger seat, became bored and suddenly became curious about the outrageous price quoted by the woman at the third service point. So he asked the clerk:

"By the way, who's that woman next to you doing errands? Doesn't anyone care about her making such wild price quotes at the exchange?"

Upon hearing this, the clerk sighed: "That girl is the sister-in-law of the base's guard team. She likes to take kickbacks, but she usually doesn't go too far, so the higher-ups turn a blind eye."

Once the clerk explained it, Zhou Yang understood.

The guard brigade of Hecheng Base is a team spontaneously formed by the superhumans in the base, and together with another military unit, they are responsible for the base's security.

Moreover, because the military strength of the Hecheng base was weak, this guard battalion was actually stronger than the military's, so basically no one was willing to offend the guard battalion.

Moreover, he still had some impression of the captain of that guard team. He seemed to be a level 4 peak metal ability user, and could be considered one of the top experts in Hecheng Base.

Tsk, no wonder this woman is so arrogant.

Zhou Yang only sighed inwardly and said nothing more. In any case, their purpose in coming here was not this guard brigade, so there was no need to cause trouble for themselves.

……

The house they bought was located on the east side of Zone 2, not far from the stock exchange, so they arrived in no time.

However, the security here is not as good as at the Baijishan base. If you park your car anywhere, it might be gone when you wake up. So you can only park your car in a guarded public parking lot.

After paying a parking fee, the two pretended to take several bulging bags from the back seat and trunk of the car and carried them all the way to their new home.

The clerk offered to help with the moving, but the two refused.

Because there was no elevator, the three of them had to climb the stairs.

Fortunately, the floor they chose wasn't too high, on the 6th floor, and the big bags they were carrying weren't actually heavy, so they got up there quickly.

The arrival of new residents in the building naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, neither of them could be discerned in terms of their abilities, and since Zone 2 was a well-known residential area for people with superpowers, no one was sure whether these two were powerful individuals or not, so no one dared to approach and disturb them.

Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan entered their new home without any obstacles.

After entering, the two inspected the house and, after confirming that there were no problems, made a final confirmation with the clerk, signed the contract on the spot, and swiped their cards.

After buying the house, we still had a few hundred points left in our account, but that was enough for the two of us.

Anyway, neither of them needs to spend points on food or other necessities.

After seeing the clerk off, Zhou Yang took another look around the house.

Although it has been renovated and has some basic furniture, there must have been zombies there before, because there are bloodstains on the floor, sofa and bed in the master bedroom.

The flooring didn't matter, but the sofa and bed were still a bit off-putting, so Zhou Yang replaced them all with the ones from his own space.

After settling into their new home, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan prepared to have lunch.

Although there were only two of them, Zhou Yang didn't intend to treat himself badly and decided to cook a good meal.

To avoid the smell of food spreading, the two went directly into the room to cook. After all, the house here isn't very well sealed, and if they cooked, the whole building might smell it, which would attract attention and cause trouble.

After finishing their meal and taking a nap, the two of them finally emerged from the space.

It was already past 2 p.m.

Since it was still early, Zhou Yang pulled Shen Zechuan out the door, intending to find someone to inquire about clues about those people.

If I remember correctly, that person should be setting up a stall in the trading market right now.

That place is a mixed bag, with all sorts of people, and you can easily get into trouble if you're not careful. But it's also a good place to gather all sorts of information.

That's why that person chose to set up a stall there during their spare time every day.

Because they remembered that there was no parking lot at the trading market and it was too chaotic, with cars often being stolen or vandalized if no one was watching over them, Zhou Yang and his group didn't drive and walked there instead.

Fortunately, the trading market is located at the intersection of Zone 2 and Zone 3, which is not far away; it only takes about twenty minutes to walk there.

As they walked, the two also took the opportunity to observe the residents of Zone 2. They were mostly people with superpowers and their families, and they seemed to be living quite well, not much different from the ordinary residents of the Baijishan base.

Unfortunately, the two did not see anyone who might be connected to the three people Zhou Yang was looking for.

Soon, the two arrived at the trading market.

This area is basically outside the second district, and the environment suddenly becomes noisy. Many people are carrying things in and out, some are setting up stalls, and others are rushing to leave after buying what they want.

But everyone was extremely cautious, afraid of being targeted, especially those carrying food, who kept turning back every few steps, afraid that they might be robbed if they weren't paying attention.

Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan entered empty-handed, each carrying only a points card. Their relaxed demeanor attracted the attention of many local residents.

But neither of them took it seriously.

Zhou Yang led the way, and after wandering around for a long time, he finally found his destination in an inconspicuous corner.

The man was completely covered up. There was no one at his stall at the moment, and in front of him was a pile of unsellable scrap metal. People passing by would just glance at it and walk away.

The man was used to it and had no intention of soliciting customers for himself; he just leaned against the wall and pretended to sleep.

Zhou Yang walked over and squatted down without saying a word, then casually picked up the pile of junk on the ground.

Although Shen Zechuan was puzzled, he didn't say anything, just stood behind and watched, while also keeping an eye on the passersby around him.

Hearing the noise, the man immediately opened his eyes. He was clearly surprised to see two unfamiliar customers at his stall, but he quickly calmed down and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Are you two handsome gentlemen looking to buy metal accessories?"

Zhou Yang shook his head: "What I want to buy isn't these things of yours..."

The man paused for a moment: "But I only sell small accessories here, nothing else. Why don't you look at other stores?"

"Nowhere else has what I need; only you have it." Zhou Yang smiled slightly. "I've heard you're the base's number one informant. I wonder if you have the information I'm looking for?"

Upon hearing this, the man, whose face was only half visible, instantly darkened.

"Are you two mistaken? I'm just an ordinary person who makes a living by setting up a stall. How would I know anything about information? If I had that ability, I wouldn't be starving."
