Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After testing their abilities, the group began discussing their next steps.

The world is doomed, but they still have to survive, and to survive they need a lot of supplies.

“We need to go back to the city. I have some important things to retrieve from my apartment complex, and we’re all out of stock and urgently need a lot of supplies,” Shen Zechuan suggested first.

Yan Fei seconded, "I agree. We probably won't be able to leave here for a while, and we have no idea what it's like outside. It's more important to stockpile supplies first."

"When should we go, now?" Lu Xingye had no objection. He was the youngest among them and always did whatever they told him to do. "Tsk, I should have looked for supplies on the way here."

"It's too late today. Are we going to go out and feed the zombies at this hour? Besides, everyone's tired today. Let's rest for a bit and set off early tomorrow morning," Xu Zhiyi said with a smile, ruffling Lu Xingye's hair.

"Yes, let's set off again tomorrow. You must all be hungry. Is there any food in the villa? Let's make something to eat. I'm starving! This strength and speed are useful, but they're too tiring."

Chai Jin was starving and started rummaging through the kitchen by himself.

“I brought back some unspoiled vegetables and fruits, braised eggs and sausages, instant noodles and self-heating hot pot from the small supermarket in our neighborhood. I also brought back some rice, salted meat, dried bamboo shoots, eggs and the like, but we don’t seem to know how to cook them.”

Chai Jin scratched his head: "Then let's cook instant noodles. Two packs each, add some braised eggs and ham sausages, and some vegetables. Once it's cooked, it's ready to eat."

None of them objected; they all agreed.

Five grown men finally managed to eat their fill after cooking more than a dozen packets of instant noodles, filling two large pots.

After dinner, the group divided up their rooms and went to wash up and go to bed.

By the end of the day, they were all completely exhausted.

After a good night's sleep, the group woke up early the next morning.

Breakfast was still instant noodles, but this time everyone also got two extra boiled eggs.

After breakfast, the five of them decided to go out and collect supplies.

However, Shen Zechuan remembered Zhou Yang's life-saving grace, so he suggested that he ask Zhou Yang if he wanted to go with him first. If he didn't want to go, he would share some supplies with him when he came back.

Shen Zechuan told others about being rescued last night.

The others naturally had no objections and readily agreed.

However, since Shen Zechuan forgot to leave his phone number when he left yesterday, he can only go to his home in person to inquire.

After discussing it, the group decided to go together.

At this moment, Zhou Yang was at home tinkering with a bunch of new planting boxes, along with several hydroponic containers and a water bucket vegetable pot that he had modified following a video the night before.

He plans to continue growing other easy-to-grow vegetables on his balcony, such as bean sprouts, pea shoots, tomatoes, celery, Malabar spinach, and small chili peppers.

If there are more dishes, he can have a variety of dishes to eat every day, which will help keep it a secret from others.

He did a lot of research last night, watching many instructional videos and even taking out various nutrient soils, nutrient solutions, and fertilizers.

Just as I finished tidying up the planting containers, I saw Pea dash to the door and bark at the outside.

Zhou Yang thought there were zombies outside, so he immediately stood up and grabbed his knife. He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard a knock on the door.

Just as I was wondering, I heard a man shouting outside, "Zhou Yang! Are you home? It's me, Shen Zechuan!"

Hearing Shen Zechuan's words, Zhou Yang finally felt relieved, put away the knife in his hand, and opened the door.

Upon going outside, they found that it was indeed Shen Zechuan, but there were four strange men standing behind him.

Zhou Yang's heart jumped.

Damn, did he save an ingrate?

Thinking about it, the person unconsciously took a step back, and silently pulled out a knife from behind their back.

Shen Zechuan and the others immediately noticed Zhou Yang's guarded posture and felt a little embarrassed.

In this apocalyptic world, their appearance in such large groups at people's doorsteps is indeed somewhat misleading, making them look like they're there to rob and plunder.

"Don't be nervous. These four are my childhood friends. They just escaped to my place last night. We're planning to go to the city today to find supplies, and we wanted to ask if you wanted to come along."

Seeing this, Shen Zechuan was afraid that Zhou Yang would misunderstand, so he quickly spoke up to explain.

“I took a look when I left yesterday. The supplies you have in the living room aren’t much, and they won’t last long. Although it’s dangerous outside now, it’s not that serious yet. This is the best time to gather supplies. It may only get more dangerous later.”

"Besides, we are all people with superpowers, so it's quite safe for you to come with us."

Shen Zechuan was right; now was indeed the best time to find supplies. However, Zhou Yang was taken aback when he heard the last sentence.

"Are all five of you superhumans?"

What kind of awakening probability is this? In his previous life, he had heard that the awakening rate was not high.

"Yes, I have lightning powers. This is Yan Fei, with metal powers. This is Lu Xingye, with water powers. This is my cousin Xu Zhiyi, with fire powers. This is Chai Jin, with strength and speed powers."

Wow, that's pretty comprehensive. Three five-elemental abilities, one rare lightning ability, and the last one, which is more common, is also a dual ability of strength and speed.

This team's configuration is indeed top-tier in the apocalypse, and going out with such a team would be quite safe, but Zhou Yang still had some hesitation.

"I'm just an ordinary person. Are you sure you want to take me along? I might be a hindrance."

"Don't worry, we're all pretty skilled. Brother Shen and Brother Yan even trained in the army since they were kids. Protecting you won't be a problem," Chai Jin assured him, patting his chest.

Lu Xingye chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, you're Brother Chuan's savior, so you're our savior too. Don't worry, right?"

Yan Fei and Xu Zhiyi, who had been silent the whole time, nodded in agreement.

Seeing that none of them seemed difficult to get along with, Zhou Yang agreed.

Although he had no shortage of supplies, he still had to go out to collect them to put on a show for others. This team looked quite safe, with free bodyguards, so why not?

However, he also had to bring Pea along just in case, and also let it see zombies to broaden its horizons, so that it wouldn't lose face if a mutated dog couldn't even beat a trash zombie in the future.

"But can I bring my dog? My dog ​​has evolved too; it can understand human speech, and it won't hurt anyone or run away."

Upon hearing that there was a dog that could understand human speech, Lu Xingye immediately peeked excitedly into the doorway: "Where? Let me see a dog that can understand human speech!"

Looking at his pathetic appearance, Yan Fei could only grab him by the neck and apologize to Zhou Yang helplessly: "I'm sorry, this kid is a bit impulsive. He's loved dogs since he was little, but his family doesn't allow him to keep them, so he gets excited whenever he hears about dogs."

"Uh, it's okay. Wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes and grab some things and then I'll be right out."

Zhou Yang touched his nose and temporarily returned inside.
