Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

When Zhou Yang came to her senses and opened her eyes, she found herself in a strange space.

Above, blue skies and white clouds; beneath, a lush green meadow; and in the distance, a charming three-story wooden house surrounded by a fenced yard. Further still, a small mountain shrouded in mist appears and disappears in the distance.

Looking out, the vast expanse is breathtaking, and every corner is a stunningly beautiful painting.

Is this the space inside the jade pendant?

Zhou Yang looked down at the jade pendant on her chest, which was still glowing softly. The phoenix statue on the half of the Yin-Yang talisman was now even more lifelike, as if it would come to life at any moment.

After a while, the light slowly faded, and it turned back into an ordinary-looking, cheap-looking piece of jade.

Zhou Yang was astonished and couldn't figure out the mystery of the jade pendant passed down from his mother, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

After taking another look at the space, Zhou Yang was filled with ecstatic joy.

Great! Now we don't have to worry about where to put the supplies.

Excitedly wandering around, Zhou Yang even discovered a cellar beneath the small wooden building. He could sense that it was very large inside, and that time seemed to stand still, because he couldn't breathe inside at all, and he only stayed for less than half a minute before retreating.

The small hill on the other side of the space was also quite peculiar. Although the hill was not high and there was no obvious temperature difference, it was shrouded in a thick fog.

Zhou Yang tried to climb up, but was unable to make any progress when he encountered the thick fog, and finally had to give up.

After gaining a general understanding of the spatial structure, Zhou Yang began to figure out how to get out. Remembering how protagonists in novels could leave simply by mentally reciting instructions, he tried it and actually succeeded.

Although she could sense that the space was now bound to her, rendering the jade pendant useless, Zhou Yang still carefully tucked it into her clothes. Worried about losing it, she finally decided to store it in the small building within the space.

Now that we have space, we need to adjust our supplies plan. We can now accommodate more large, inconvenient-to-carry items.

Moreover, the cellar in the space is static, which can store food that is not easy to preserve. This means that you can prepare some food in advance or buy ready-made food and put it in there, so that you can still have a hot meal when it is inconvenient to cook in the apocalypse.

With only three months left until the apocalypse, Zhou Yang decided to resign after his vacation.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Yang immediately opened Taobao and, according to his plan, began purchasing a batch of essential supplies online, such as the largest water tank and gasoline cans, as well as various daily necessities, wilderness survival gear, and clothing for all seasons. He opted for installment payments as much as possible, the longer the better, not caring about interest rates now, since he basically wouldn't have to pay them back anyway. He was going to do whatever it took to save money.

Then Zhou Yang took his documents and went out, first to a real estate agency to list the house for sale. Because he needed to sell urgently, he only listed it for 450 million yuan, but it had to be paid in full at once. Then he went to the bank and withdrew his fixed deposit; the principal plus interest totaled 430 million yuan. After that, he rented a very remote warehouse in the suburbs to use as a receiving location.

Next, he went to the agricultural and sideline products wholesale market in the west of the city and purchased a large quantity of ordinary rice, flour, noodles, dried vermicelli, dried rice noodles, as well as various vegetables and fruits, chicken, duck and goose eggs, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, tea and spices, various dried goods and frozen foods, enough for him to eat for at least fifty or sixty years. After negotiating prices with several vendors, Zhou Yang paid a 50% deposit and asked them to deliver the goods to the warehouse, where he would pay the balance after receiving the goods.

After agreeing on the delivery time, Zhou Yang thought that the space should be able to be used for planting, so he rushed to the flower and bird market and bought all kinds of vegetable seedlings, fruit tree seedlings and all the seeds he could buy, not even flower seeds. He also bought all kinds of planting tools.

There weren't many of these items, so Zhou Yang put them in the trunk first, and then, using the car as a cover, stored them all away in his personal space.

As I was about to leave, I saw a shop selling young poultry in the alley and suddenly had a brilliant idea.

I wonder if the space is suitable for raising animals...

How about giving it a try?

Without hesitation, Zhou Yang ran inside and bought a pair of chicks from the shop owner before returning to his car. He then tried to put the chicks into his spatial storage, and they went in smoothly, hopping and jumping around inside without any problems.

Zhou Yang was overjoyed; he would never have to worry about eating meat again.

So he quickly ran back to the stall owner and bought a cage of each kind of chicken, duck, and goose to take away. He couldn't tell the difference between males and females, but he asked the owner for only one or two males of each kind. As soon as he got back to his car, he put them all into his spatial storage as usual.

It seems there are no piglets for sale here. Looks like I'll have to make time to go to the countryside. How can the dining table be without pork?

The market does sell rabbits, but they are all pet rabbits, not commercial rabbits. They don't taste good and are difficult to raise. Zhou Yang only glanced at them before leaving.

After leaving the flower and bird market, Zhou Yang went to the seafood wholesale market and purchased a large quantity of river and seafood.

It's a pity there's no fishpond in the space, otherwise I could raise some fish. But buying more aquatic products is fine too, since they won't spoil in the space's cellar anyway.

After buying enough food, the most important thing, water, cannot be forgotten.

Zhou Yang went directly to a local water company and purchased 200 10L bottles of water and 500 cases of 500ml bottles of water, which were the cheapest and most affordable options available.

The amount of water Zhou Yang ordered was small; it was for emergency use in the apocalypse. He planned to buy more water directly from a mountain spring after the large water tank he ordered online arrived.

By the end of the day, Zhou Yang had spent over 100 million yuan, leaving over 300 million yuan in his account.

On my way back, I happened to pass by the vegetable market and remembered that I didn't seem to have any vegetables at home, so I went in and bought 2 pounds of pork ribs, 2 pounds of pork belly, and some vegetables.

It was already past 5 o'clock when I got home.

After changing my clothes, I went straight to the kitchen to make dinner.

First, I put the rice on the stove, then washed and blanched the ribs, stir-fried them in a pot, and once the ribs were also on the stove, I took out some greens, mushrooms, and tomatoes to prepare. I also took out a box of sliced ​​beef from the refrigerator, planning to make a dish and a soup.

A plate of braised pork ribs, a dish of green vegetables and mushrooms, a bowl of tomato and beef soup, and two bowls of white rice.

Zhou Yang ate every last bite.

After finishing her meal, cleaning up the kitchen, and washing up, Zhou Yang couldn't wait to enter her spatial dimension.

Upon entering, Zhou Yang was greeted by a scattering of chickens, ducks, and goslings, giving him a headache.

Looks like I'll have to build a nest for these little guys and keep them in a pen, otherwise it'll be so annoying to see them running around like this.

Zhou Yang avoided the little brats and went to the area where the vegetable and sapling seedlings were stored. He untied the fruit tree seedlings and sorted them. Then he dug several rows of holes and planted a few fruit tree seedlings first. After finishing, looking at the huge pile of vegetable seedlings, he was overwhelmed. Did he have to clear a field first?

Sigh, if only this space could be turned into a plot of land for planting. It doesn't need to be big, an acre would be enough to grow lots of vegetables.

Just as he finished thinking, a large patch of grass in front of the small building suddenly trembled and, in the blink of an eye, turned into a patch of freshly turned black soil.

Hey! The space has this function too? Does that mean we can build a shed for all these chickens, ducks, and goslings?

As soon as I thought this, three shacks appeared not far from the courtyard wall.

Zhou Yang beamed with joy and quickly herded the chickens, ducks, and geese inside, finally bringing peace and quiet.

Back in the field, I was excitedly thinking that I could plant these vegetables myself, and then... nothing happened.

The rice seedlings lay there quietly.

Zhou Yang remained silent for three seconds.

It seems that the only things we can control are the things that are already in the space; we still have to rely on ourselves for planting.

With a sigh, Zhou Yang picked up a small hoe and began diligently planting vegetable seedlings.

Each seedling was planted in a separate row, totaling seven rows of vegetables: cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, green beans, bell peppers, okra, etc. Each seedling was watered before space was created.

I checked my phone and found that less than ten minutes had passed. I had been inside for at least half an hour. It seems that the flow of time inside the space is different from that in reality.

That's good, otherwise growing vegetables would take too much time.
