Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

About twenty minutes later, Shen Zechuan and Cui Ze returned.

Shen Zechuan, however, remained energetic and strolled leisurely, while Cui Ze was exhausted like a dog. As soon as he entered the room, he greeted Zhou Yang and then rushed back to his room to sleep.

That night, he ran with Shen Zechuan all the way there and back, using up all the exercise he had done in a month. He was exhausted.

I feel like my legs don't belong to me anymore. I have no other thoughts except when I lie down and sleep.

Zhou Yang watched Cui Ze's retreating figure, which could be described as fleeing in panic, and asked Shen Zechuan in confusion.

"What's wrong with him? Why is he so exhausted?"

Shen Zechuan rolled up his sleeves: "It's nothing, he only ran 10 kilometers. I didn't expect that a level 4 ability user could be so tired. His physique is really too poor, not even as good as a level 3 person's stamina. When we get back, we'll send him to Uncle Gu's army to train him properly."

"..."

Zhou Yang opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing, silently offering a prayer for Cui Ze in her heart.

Fortunately, thanks to the spring water he has been using for the past two years, his physique has improved to the point where he can match that of some low-level superhumans. Otherwise, he would be a weakling who couldn't even run 10 kilometers, and might have been sent to the army for training.

However, it is indeed rare for a level 4 ability user like Cui Ze to be this weak.

It would be good to send him to the army for some training, otherwise he's too weak and not very useful.

Unaware that his two older brothers had arranged a training package for him, Cui Ze, who was fast asleep, was still dreaming of clinging to their coattails and winning the apocalypse.

When she returned to the Baijishan base with Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan and was packed up and thrown into the army, she couldn't help but cry.

But having already boarded the pirate ship, all they could do was cry while training with the troops.

……

After Zhou Yang and the other person finished speaking, they ignored Cui Ze and went straight back to the master bedroom.

However, since there was an unfamiliar younger brother in the house, Zhou Yang left Xiao Hu outside to keep watch.

It was to guard against Cui Ze, and also to guard against the survivors outside.

The master bedroom includes a bathroom.

After a quick wash, the two went to bed.

Just as Zhou Yang lay down, about to ask about the supplies in the space, Shen Zechuan eagerly pulled him into the space.

Before they knew it, the two of them were already lying on the bed in the master bedroom of the small building.

Shen Zechuan, who had been thinking about his perks, eagerly reached out and touched it.

But just as he touched her waist, before he could even slip his hand inside her pajamas, Zhou Yang slapped him away.

Shen Zechuan's lips twitched, and he looked at Zhou Yang with accusatory eyes, muttering under his breath.

"Are you trying to renege on your promise?!"

Zhou Yang waved his hand dismissively and sat up: "I'm not cheating, but let's get down to business first."

Seeing that Zhou Yang was annoyed, and then saying it was serious business, Shen Zechuan also sat up, instantly putting away his little expression. After thinking for a moment and coming up with nothing else, he assumed that Zhou Yang was still thinking about revenge, so he said seriously:

"You mean those three? I tied them up and threw them into the deep mountains on the other side of this space. You want revenge now? Then let's go and kill them right now!"

She was about to get out of bed when Zhou Yang grabbed her arm. Before her feet even touched the ground, she was about to get up.

“I’m not talking about those three people. I saw them when you threw them in. These three pieces of trash aren’t urgent for now; I need to think about how to deal with them.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan asked, puzzled, "Which matter are you referring to?"

Zhou Yang pointed in the direction opposite the mountain: "Didn't you throw a bunch of weapons and supplies in? That's what I wanted to ask about. Did you find it at the guard post? The serial numbers on the weapons crates look like they belong to the military."

When this was mentioned, Shen Zechuan finally became serious.

"Yes, I was just wandering around inside to see if anyone was patrolling or something, but I happened to see some of their guards stealing from their own posts. While they were moving supplies, I went in to take a look and that's when I saw this batch of weapons."

Shen Zechuan paused for a moment before continuing, "The batch number of this batch of weapons should belong to a military base located at the border of two provinces to the south of Hecheng Base. This base is a secret base and is not on any map that ordinary people can access. Only the military knows about it. It is impossible for a private team to know about that base."

They either followed the military convoy and intercepted the weapons, or they obtained the classified map and located the military base through some means. But either way, it couldn't have been obtained through legitimate means.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yang said, "It should be the former. I heard that the military at this base once sent a small team to a military base in the south to find supplies, but none of them came back. It seems that they were intercepted by the guards."

Shen Zechuan nodded: "Then I didn't rob these supplies unjustly. This guard team doesn't seem to be any good either. But wasn't this base also built by the military? Are the military so useless? They didn't even realize they'd been intercepted?"

"It's not that it's useless, it's just that the military force at this base is too small. When the base was first built, there were only a few thousand people, and now it's probably less than a thousand. That's why the guard team has grown bigger and bigger, and the base is losing its voice. It's also very likely that they discovered it a long time ago, but they didn't dare to break ties with the guard team. If a fight broke out, it would be the ordinary people at the base who would get hurt."

Zhou Yang sighed after he finished speaking.

If it weren't for the mess he made in his past life, he would still really like this small base, especially the army that led the establishment of it.

These soldiers always stood at the forefront, blocking zombies for everyone, and saved him from the zombies' mouths countless times, directly or indirectly. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person like him have survived to the third year?

Therefore, he still had a good impression of the army here, and at the same time felt sorry for the base commanders who risked their lives to protect the base but were hampered by the guards.

If the opportunity arises later, I could help the military here take down the guards.

Just as Zhou Yang was thinking, Shen Zechuan came up to her again.

"So, is that the end of the matter?"

Seeing that Zhou Yang hadn't recovered yet, Shen Zechuan immediately added another sentence.

"You can't make excuses this time!"

Zhou Yang finally looked at Shen Zechuan, but did not respond.

He didn't intend to refuse.

However, seeing Shen Zechuan's eager yet hesitant manner, she secretly rejoiced for a while. Only when Shen Zechuan became a little impatient did she cup his face and kiss him.

Upon receiving the signal, Shen Zechuan's eyes lit up like peas. He immediately pounced on Zhou Yang on the bed and kissed her lips.

During the hottest period, because living in an underground shelter was inconvenient, the number of times the two were intimate could be counted on one hand.

The most recent time was almost a month ago; the two of them had been holding back for a long time.

At this moment, the two were like two fish out of water, each finding their own river. Once they touched, they couldn't wait to merge into it, absorbing each other's essence, as if only in this way could they continue to live.
